"'Therefore behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, that I will bring judgment..." (Jeremiah 51:52)
The days of greater evil are upon us ...
and those who are mighty and treacherous,
who stand against God
and all His people --- they
will come to see
His judgment fast approaching.
They will run and hide
in the caves
and in the mountains.
The enemy --- how brave, how smart
they think themselves to be,
taunting God's own,
bringing damnation to all who follow
the Lord Jesus.
The enemy --- they bring down themselves
and all they profess to be
and all they follow without any cares
for what is True and Right.
The enemy --- they will fall.
God's judgment upon them
will bring complete destruction.
Emptiness, brokenness
will prevail.
All will be desolate.
All the hidden places
you seek
will not serve you
to any good.
God's wrath is greater
than you.
"And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come and who is able to stand?" (Revelation 6: 15-17)
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My Son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone (which is the second death)." (Revelation 21: 7-8)
If you die an unbeliever,
after Jesus comes again
when you stand, or cower before the throne,
all the deeds ---
the should haves,
the could haves,
the would haves,
the might haves,
only serve to show you,
remind you,
there is no opportunity
for upward advancement
You made your
choices
while you walked
the earth.
Only believers in Jesus Christ,
Only those who accept Him
as personal Lord and Savior,
Only those who are obedient
to His will and His commandments
Only believers advance onward and upward.
Unbelievers drown.
It's the journey ... not the destination. ... The journey ... my eyes were opened and I knew Him and my heart was changed. ... Won't you join me in my travels, meandering here and there, journeying within my mind and beyond, on paths great and small, through this world that was created by and belongs to the Lord God Almighty.

What is your hope ... are you living in darkness?
In John 9:39 Jesus says, "For judgment I have come into this world; that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."
Not physical blindness, but spiritual blindness. When you come to Christ and accept and believe, becoming one of His, following in obedience to Him, you become open to God's word ... His veil is lifted. When you have "aha" moments, it is then you see, understand what God's word is saying, revealing to you.
On the other hand, there are those who think they have all the answers, but do not believe in Christ, do not accept Him as Messiah, who want nothing whatsoever to do with Him. They lack true understanding of what God's word says ... it is hidden from them, thus they are blind.
God desires all of humanity to come to Christ and see, witness the light He alone brings. Without Jesus, there is no eternal hope. No life everlasting. There is only hope for the moment. A hope that is here and gone.
What is your hope? Are you one of His or are you living in darkness?
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. He who believes in Him is not condemned (judged); but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation (judgment), that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." (John 3: 16, 18-20)
