THE FINAL INSPECTION

THE FINAL 
INSPECTION 

The soldier stood and faced God, 
Which must always come to pass. 
He hoped his shoes were shining, 
Just as brightly as his brass. 


"Step forward now, you soldier, 
How shall I deal with you? 
Have you always turned the other cheek? 
To My Church have you been true?" 


The soldier squared his shoulders and said, 
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't. 
Because those of us who carry guns, 
Can't always be a saint. 


I've had to work most Sundays, 
And at times my talk was tough. 
And sometimes I've been violent, 
Because the world is awfully rough. 


But, I never took a penny, 
That wasn't mine to keep... 
Though I worked a lot of overtime, 
When the bills got just too steep. 


And I never passed a cry for help, 
Though at times I shook with fear. 
And sometimes, God, forgive me, 
I've wept unmanly tears. 


I know I don't deserve a place, 
Among the people here. 
They never wanted me around, 
Except to calm their fears. 


If you've a place for me here, Lord, 
It needn't be so grand. 
I never expected or had too much, 
But if you don't, I'll understand. 


There was a silence all around the throne, 
Where the saints had often trod. 
As the soldier waited quietly, 
For the judgment of his God. 


"Step forward now, you soldier, 
You've borne your burdens well. 
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, 
You've done your time in Hell."

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,

THE BONDAGE OF 18 AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER

       THE BONDAGE OF EIGHTEEN AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER

---

 

 

When Jesus walked the earth in His earthly ministry He would heal people on the

 Sabbath or the "Seventh" day. The biblical number "Seven" stands for rest. When 

Jesus healed people on the "Seventh" day He received so much opposition. In

 Luke 13:16 the Bible says," Ought not this women, being a daughter of Abraham

, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on

 the Sabbath day?"

 

When people reject Jesus Christ and just live their life they will be bound in one 

way or another. It has got to be refreshing to know that our Lord sets the captives 

free. "The spirit of the Lord God is upon me: because the Lord hath anointed me 

to preach good tidings unto the meek : he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted

, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are

 bound." Isaiah 61:1. Satan can only bind people and put them in prison. If they

 continue on that path the prison will get more and more severe. This statement

 alone is enough to want to follow Jesus Christ but on the other hand the greater

 the devotion we have to our Savior and Lord the more we will experience His love 

in our hearts. This is just the opposite of bondage.

 

" Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye

 that

 they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem." Luke 13:4. There 

were 

"Eighteen" people bound by their own sin. They did not repent and were killed.

 

The very first word Jesus said in His public ministry was "Repent." Surrounding

 Luke 13:4 is a bookend of repentance and He says the exact same thing two

 different times. He was telling the people of His day in His public ministry that 

they were no better than these people and if they did not repent they would perish

. Jesus was saying they would die in their sins and go to hell as opposed to

 everlasting life in heaven. The bookends are in verses 3 and 5 surrounding 

Luke 13:4. Jesus is still saying today that sin leads to bondage and then 

death (Perish) unless true repentance in our heart takes place before God

 while we are still living on earth in this life. God has not changed His message.

 

Stephen quoted in Acts chapter 7: 6," And God spake on this wise, That His

 seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into

bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years." He understood this from

 Genesis 15:13 which says," And He said unto Abram, Know of a surety that

 thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; 

and they shall afflict them four hundred years." This bondage is found in exactly

 "Eighteen" different places in the Old Testament. (1) Genesis 15:13-14

,(2) Exodus 1:14,(3) Exodus 2:23,(4) Exodus 2:23,(5) Exodus 6:5,

(6) Exodus 6:6,(7) Exodus 6:9,(8) Exodus 13:3,(9) Exodus 13:14

,(10) Exodus 20:2, (11) Deut. 5:6,(12) Deut. 6:12,(13) Deut.8:12,

 (14) Deut. 13:5,(15) Deut.13:10,(16) Deut.26:6,(17) Joshua 24:17

 and the last "Bondage" which is the "Eighteen" of the whole list would be

 Judges 6:8. 

 

I could also show you that the different occurrences of the numbered

 bondages seem to match the biblical meaning of each number but I 

don't have the time for that study in the Word of God. know that the

 God we serve is perfect.

 

How could God be so exact and in perfect control to show honest students 

of the Bible that the biblical number "Eighteen" means "Bondage?"

 I don't have an easy answer for that question because my mind or 

heart can not understand how God could do this; however, this truth is 

throughout the Bible and God put His signature in His Word. 

 

Can we say that God does not understand our problems? He understands 

them better than we do. Some people tell me that they see their life and just

live it but we do not see our lives. Only God sees our life. Maybe that is why 

the Bible places so much importance on us having faith in Him. God is 

watching us right now and He sees everything. There is not one thing that 

God does not know. We have issues and don't understand how to deal with

 them; however, God will tell us what He wants us to know in His timing through

 our faith in Him. If we don't follow this principle we will probably fall into sin 

and bondage. Some people may be saying that they are in sin and bondage

 but if the very first word Jesus said in His public ministry was "Repent" that 

should give us a pretty good idea as to what to do before God.

 

Christians fall into sin. The Bible says," If we confess our sins, He is faithful

 and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 

1 John 1:9. God wants His children to confess their sins to Him because sinful

 hearts need to be cleansed from unrighteousness. I do not understand churches 

that make light of this point and just live their lives.

 

If you never accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord based on the fact

 that He died for your sins on the cross about 2000 years ago and rose from the

 dead on the third day then I encourage you to make that eternal decision today/

tonight wherever you are so you will have everlasting life in heaven. Don't delay 

this decision because you never know when your end will come in this world. 

Only God knows this because our fate is in the hands of God.

 

It is interesting to me that on two different occasions the children of Israel were 

in bondage to their enemies for "Eighteen" years. Those verses would be found

 in Judges 3:14 and Judges 10:7-8. "Eighteen", "Bondage." I think it is becoming

 very clear that biblical history is testifying to the fact that this principle is true so it

 will make it easier to talk about what the Bible has to say about the future 

regarding this biblical number "Eighteen" that will take place in the world when

 end time biblical prophecy starts to be fulfilled in the future seven year

 tribulation period.

 

I am writing to so many different types of people but if you are one that does not 

want to read the book of Revelation at the very least read Revelation chapter 13.

 This is the chapter that shows the main leaders, what they have, what they want 

and what they will try to force on people.

 

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:

 for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six

." Revelation 13:18. His name will add up to 666. As of this writing in the year 2016

 I am not sure who the antichrist is going to be but during the seven year tribulation

 period this will become more obvious. 6+6+6=18. This is the number for "Bondage

." This is when the world as we know it ends and culminates into "Bondage."

 

As of this writing the rapture of the Church has not happened. Our Blessed 

Hope (Rapture) will take place before the seven year tribulation period."(16)

 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to 

Receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(17) And that no man

 might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the

 number of his name." Revelation 13:16-17. People in this world will not be able

 to buy or sell during the seven year tribulation unless they take this mark in 

their right hands or foreheads but that is not to say it has not already been

 introduced at present.

 

I was told that every major computer system around the world has already

 programmed in the mark of the beast and if a person does not get this mark

 they will be seen as an outcast. People that don't get the mark won't be able 

to keep a job much less get a job. They won't be able to buy, sell or even get 

into their computer around certain places of the world.

 

I was watching something on the internet late 2015 early 2016 and saw a

 very interesting video. This man was talking about the mark and how some 

people want to put something in the mark. This "Something" gets rid of part 

of the brain. It was discovered that it is the part that is used to repent before 

God. Now I don't know if this is true or not but the following verses may be

 more real to you in light of this information if it is true.

 

The antichrist will make war with the saints according to Revelation 13:7.

 That is sad but true. I also want you to look at the next verses that I am going

 to show you but observe them very close."(9) And the third angel followed

 them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image

, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand (10) The same shall

 drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture

 into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and

 brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the

 Lamb. Revelation 14:9-10. These verses say that anyone who takes this

 mark will be under the wrath of God and go to hell. This is what this

 present world is going into because we are in the last days and very 

close to the rapture of the Church and the seven year tribulation period on planet earth.

 

When I look at all the beheadings around the world and everything else

 I come to the conclusion that what I am seeing may be worse than the

 dark ages. It is only because of the mercy of God that He has not yet

 come to rapture His Church. Jesus will come very soon but I don't know 

when; however, I would be ready at any moment because He is coming

 at an hour that you think not." Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of 

man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40.

 

I just want to make one more point. If we see beheading now then we must

 conclude that we are close." And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, 

and judgment was given unto them, and I saw the souls of them that were

 beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God, and which 

had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received 

his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and

 reigned with Christ a thousand years." Revelation 20:4.

SIX, SIN AND 6000 YEARS OF WORLD KINGDOMS PART ONE.

Six, Sin and  6000 years of World Kingdoms Part One 

This has always been one of the most fascinating subjects I have ever studied

 because we are so close to the rapture of the Church. It would have to be 

comforting that Jesus Christ is about to take control over the nations of planet

 earth. We are right on the edge of the prophetic clock of God.

When I started to study this subject in the Bible I really was not to happy because

 the first five numbers that I wrote about all had some kind of hope attached to

 them. Even the numbers 2 and 4 present some good news when one studies the 

latter part of the meaning. I cannot say the same thing for the identity of the 

number 6 because it involves the evils of Satan resulting in sin, weakness and death.

What I can say is the root of this very principle seems to imply that the kingdoms of 

this world will last for 6000 years or at the very least in that approximate area. We 

are seconds away from the end of this time limit that God has given mankind.

In all fairness there are some very good ministries that are winning souls by 

teaching the prophetic word of God that do not believe what I just said. Some 

of them are highly intelligent and very effective and will no doubt go up in the

 hall of faith in heaven. They are convinced we are right on the edge of the 

Rapture,tribulation and the millennium.

I do not stop supporting them just because they don't believe the exact same way

 I do. As long as they are biblical sound, speak of the urgency of the hour and reach

 out to win lost souls for Jesus Christ.

This is why whoever you are or wherever you may be in life it is important to

 understand that what I am about to speak of is essential to your future.

I have been at numerous points in my life and there are not many I can't relate 

to; therefore, I know what it is like to talk to God and ask Him if He can help me

 get my life right with Him.

I am pretty sure we will be convinced that the time is very short. Hopefully you

 will become convicted and realize that what I am talking about very much 

involves our future and allow the Son of the Living God to perform His will in our lives.

I am not saying it will be exactly 6000 years although I have friends that would

. As I explain this general principle I personally believe you will see how close 

we really are to the return of Jesus Christ.

With that being said I would like to talk about the biblical meaning of the 

number 6 especially from the backdrop of 6000 years. Keep in mind biblical 

historians also believed in this principle.

Ireneis who was born in 140 A.D. was so dogmatic that he tied the 6 days of 

creation to things coming to an end after 6000 years. Some ministers will 

complain that people who believe this are just looking at the model of creation 

and basing their opinions on this one biblical account. I would respond this 

principle of 6000 years seems to be all over the Bible.

Enoch talked about 7000 years of time with the eighth having no end.

Remember the contextual biblical meaning of the number 8 is "New beginnings."

What many people do not realize is each biblical number has a meaning and

 creation must reflect that appointed direction that God has set forth. God is

 the author of order not confusion.

Let me just say something else. If biblical historians of different previous centuries

 were writing about this then I would think it would only be reasonable (since we

 are at the end of 6000 years or in that approximate area) to listen to what they 

had to say.

Don't you find it interesting that all these prophetic occurrences are happening

 at an exponential rate in this point of time? By the way I am going to explain 

what I mean by "The end of 6000 years." I will explain in a little bit why I believe

 planet earth is older than 6000 years of time. To me it is almost inevitable that

 questions will come to our mind but it is exciting to see that the return of our

 Lord Jesus Christ is very soon!

The Epistle of Barnabas later called the Sinaiticus spoke about some theologians

 probably around the forth century. They said the same thing that Irenaeis spoke

 of but they put so much more detail in their book.

They wrote of creation in 6 days, a day with the Lord as 1000 years (Psalm 90:4, 

2nd Peter 3:8) and human history taking a turn after 6000 years. God bringing all

 things to an end (specifically world kingdoms) and compared the seventh day of

 creation to the seventh millennium of human history. They vividly described 

Jesus Christ Himself judging the ungodly and reigning and resting on the seventh

 day.

They were not just quoting creation. They were quoting Psalm 90.4. "For a

 thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch

 in the night." They were quoting Peter. "But,beloved, be not ignorant of this 

one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand

 years as one day." 2nd Peter 3:8.

This principle is outlined in the Bible. Even in the Testament of Adam,Seth 

said his father (Adam) spoke to him about the world lasting for 7000 years 

in all. Adam was the first person ever created by God so he must have see

n this principle for himself from God.

I am going to explain many truths about the meaning of the number 6. 

By the time these articles are finished it is possible that you will see what

 I am trying to say. I believe you will be comforted that our blessed hope

 is "Very" close! Get excited if you are a Christian because you are about

 to see your Lord Jesus Christ face to face.

This had to be done in three parts because I am going to be giving you a

 background about the history of this number and give the reasons why

 there has to be 6000 years of strife and turmoil in this world before Jesus 

Christ takes control of the nations of this world. I really don't know if the

 6000 years or the general area of that sum is at the rapture,middle of the

 7 year tribulation or at the end.

There are 7 reverse Hebrew nuns in Psalm 107. Six are right in a row. 

I believe one of the reasons they are consecutive is because they represent 

6 millenniums of human history.

The reverse nuns are in verses 23,24,25,26,27,28 and 40. 23+24+25+26+27+28=153

. This in my opinion is perhaps the most perfect number in the universe for

 various reasons but what is so remarkable is that it seems to stand for

resurrection. 6000 years and resurrection are associated with each other

 in this model.

As far as the rapture is concerned I believe according to 2nd Thes. 2:2-4 

and Revelation chapters 4,5 and 6 there has to be some sort of time gap 

between the Rapture and the start of the 7 year tribulation period.For 

example Revelation 4:1-2 describes the rapture of the church but it is not 

until Revelation 6:2 that the 7 year tribulation starts on planet earth.

In simple terms we are probably very close to the Lord finally calling His

 children home to heaven. How long that time gap would be is unknown to me.

I believe we are so near that I don't even look for a date. I could be working 

in my back yard and in an instant be taken into the glory of heaven

. Some people will say the 6000 years is already finished but I am not

 convinced of that either.

When I studied the number 2 I had to go back to the creation account. 

To explain in very brief terms I found out that prior to Adam and Eve

 being created by God demonic creatures of some kind inhabited the 

earth. I don't believe this world is 6000 years old; however, I do believe 

we are in that approximate area from the starting point of creation.

I think another point I would like to make is God did not make the timing 

of this subject all that simple because if that were the case people would 

have figured out dates a long time ago. It is a mystery to be explored.

This is a very good place to end Part One because I think you get the basic

 foundation of what I am trying to convey to you. God will give us a very 

special blessing in this study. The blessed hope will be such a joyous event 

with a happy ending. Missing this event will be tragic.Do not let anybody 

tell you anything different.

Once this present dispensation of grace changes after the rapture words 

or pictures cannot describe how progressively horrible life on planet earth 

will become. It would be my delight to share with you some scriptural 

treasures to encourage you and uplift your spirit as we on a daily basis 

watch for the return of Jesus Christ.
