"Foundation"

“Foundation”

Blessings Folk!

Our hearts continue to be touched by all we see with the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

Undoubtedly a sad and difficult time.

We know these things will occur…Japan, Christchurch, Chile, Haiti...San Francisco/Pacific NW likely soon...New Madrid fault soon...
We know that earthquakes are a precursor to events of the last days - we’ve covered that before.
We know that “great earthquakes” will occur with the opening of the seals by Jesus.

Revelation 6
 12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;
 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.
 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;
 16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

(Meditate and think on this passage...much here&hellipWinking

Did you know that tsunamis are mentioned in the Word?

Luke 21
25 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations,
in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

The nations will be perplexed due to the roaring of the sea and waves.

(The “cosmic signs” in Luke 21, Matt 24, Mark 13 and Revelation 6 are the same event. Very important...we’ll discuss later...)

This is yet to come...can you imagine?

We literally can see the entire foundation of a particular lifestyle washed away in Japan.

Got me thinking.

What would we do if the foundation of our lifestyle was destroyed?

Most people’s lives are centered around job, activities, pursuits.

The life of the true believer is not so.

Our foundation is the Most High God.
Our foundation is the Creator of All.
We are grounded in the Kingdom.

If we…wait...when we face such times, we must not...we will not...rest in our abilities. We trust in the Lord.

The Lord is the only Way, Truth and Life.

He literally will lead and direct in all times, especially in trying, troubling times.

The foundation we have is not susceptible to earthquake, to tsunami, to anything of this world.

We do pray for those in Japan...actually the birthplace of my wife.
They are religious.
Sadly false religions.
Shintoism 83.9%, Buddhism 71.4%, Christianity 2%, other 7.8%

I’m praying for the Lord to release dreams and visions.
I’m praying that the many groups ramping up to assist will manifest the Love of the Lord.

Seek the Lord as to your participation...in prayer, financially, etc.
Who knows who the Lord might want to send?

Update: I’ve posted several videos of late...brief (3-4 minutes) synopsis of our local, ongoing Bible studies. Check ‘em out.
