[5]The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

[6]The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.

[9]For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

Isaiah 2:12

[12]For the day of the Lord of Hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up— And it shall be brought low—

LEARNING SIGNS OF THE TIMES!

 

Joel 2:27-28

[27]Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. God’s Spirit Poured Out

[28]“All I'll ML lnd it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

Daniel 12:1-4,8-9

[1]...And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.

[2]And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

[3]Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

[4]“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

[8]Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things? ”

[9]And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Matthew 24:4-8

[4]And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

[5]For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

[6]And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

[7]For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

[8]All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Mark 13:4-8,12-13,18-19,22

[4]“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

[5]And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

[6]For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He, ’ and will deceive many.

[7]But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

[8]For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

[12]Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

[13]And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. The Great Tribulation.

[18]And pray that your flight may not be in winter.

[19]For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

[22]For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

[1]But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

[2]For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

[3]unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

[4]traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

[5]having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

[6]For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

[7]always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Peter 3:3-4,9,17

[3]knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

[4]and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

[9]The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The Day of the Lord

[17]You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked.

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

[12]And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

[13]Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

John 6:35

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

[1]Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

[3]all ate the same spiritual food,

[4]and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

[38]He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

Revelation 7:16-17

[16]They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

[17]for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 21:6

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

SENIOR LADY: VISITORS IN MY GARDEN!

 

I was glancing over my container garden recently.

I noticed movement behind my potting soil. 

Four pairs of shiny eyes were looking at me. 

A feral cat had delivered four kittens in my 

garden. The mother cat  was gone. Her four

 kittens were left behind my bags of potting

 soil. They were purring soft meows. Although

 they were sweet and cute, I was not happy 

to see them. All I could envision was the havoc

 they could do to my garden. I really thought my 

chasing away the backyard feral cats was working.

My Mom befriended two feral cats 6 months ago.

One cat  is tortoise shell and the other one is a 

orange tabby. I would scold them if they came

 near my garden. I hadn't seen any cats in my 

garden until yesterday.  I left to run errands.

This was the scene I saw when I returned home:

I called my Mom outside, so she would see

could see my distress. She was overjoyed.

I explained to her how my garden would 

be ruined. I also mentioned that some 

female cats bear kittens every two months!

It seemed like that cat was nursing her

kittens all day! I let her stay in the garden.

Only because I hoped the forecasted storm 

would cause her to move the kittens to the

 backyard. The cat and her kittens were

still in my garden! I needed to harvest

vegetables and herbs. I chased her out 

of my garden. I took a gloved hand and

scooted these kittens out of my garden.

Apparently the cat came and got her

kittens. They were not where I placed 

them. I installed tall poles at the entrance

 to my garden. I hope this addition will

prevent future visits from cats and kittens

 in my garden. I would hate to call the

Animal Control Center about the feral

cats and kittens. This may eventually be

my only solution. I already know my Mom 

would not like that!

OMNISCIENT ( ALL KNOWING):

Psalms 139:1-2,4,6

[1]O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

[2]You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

[4]For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, 

O Lord, You know it altogether.

[6]Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, 

I cannot attain it.

1 John 3:20

For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

[27]“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

[46]I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

RABBONI (TEACHER):

[15]Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

[16]Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

SOME DWELLERS IN THE WILDERNESS! #1

HAGAR

[7]Now the Angel of the Lord found her ( HAGAR) by a spring of water in the WILDERNESS, by the spring on the way to Shur.

[10]Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”

Genesis 16:7,10

Genesis 21:13-14

[13]Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he (Ishmael)is your seed.”

[14]So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

ISHMAEL 

Genesis 21:7,13-14, 20-21

[7]She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.” Hagar and Ishmael Depart

[13]Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.”

[14]So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

[20]So God was with the lad (Ishmael); and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer

[21]He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. A Covenant with Abimelech.

ISRAELITES 

Exodus 3:15, 18

[15]Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’

[18]Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’

Exodus 14:3,10-12,29,31

[3]For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’

[10]And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

[11]Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?

[12]Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

[29]But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

[31]Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

RESURRECTION & PROPHECY FULFILLMENT!

PROPHECY:

Deuteronomy 21:23

His body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury Him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God.
