To: God
KH: Hey, Lord?
GOD: Yes, Son.
KH: There sure are a lot of verses in Your Word that I don’t understand, but one in particular really concerns me.
GOD: Yes, Son, I know. Luke 18:8.
KH: That’s the one. You asked a question that is never answered.
GOD: I do that a lot in My Word, Son (Job 38-41; Jonah 4:11; Luke 13:4, 16; 14:3, 5; 16:11, 12, etc). It’s to make you think, Son.
KH: It’s working, Lord! What’s the answer? When You come will You find faith on earth?
GOD: Do you know when I’m coming back, Son?
KH: No, Lord. No one knows the day or the hour (Mark 13:32; Luke 12:40). The way world events are shaping up it can’t be much longer. If Your coming isn’t soon, we will all kill each other (Mt. 24:22; Mark 13:20).
GOD: It is worse than you know, Son, and going to get even worse yet. Evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse (2 Tim. 3:13), just as I said.
KH: It’s true, Lord. Your children are being persecuted and killed by the thousands all over the world. Please come soon (2 Tim. 4:8)!
GOD: What do you think, Son? If I delay My coming (Mt. 24:48; Luke 12:45) would I find faith on the earth?
KH: I don’t know, Lord. You said there would be a great falling away (2 Thes. 2:3), and that is already happening. Most cannot stand up to persecution (Mt. 13:21), especially in the soft churches in America. That’s why that verse in Luke 18 concerns me. I need your grace, Lord!
GOD: Lots of My children got excited about Y2K a few years ago. They thought I was coming back then. What if your calendar is off?
KH: Since Herod died in 4 BC and You were about two when he sent soldiers to kill all the babies (Mt. 2:9-16) most folks agree that our calendar is off by at least 6 years. This really should be the year 2015.
GOD: That would be based on My birth. What if the second coming is 2,000 years from My crucifixion or resurrection or ascension? Could My children survive another 18 years?
KH: Not many, Lord. The world system is set to collapse, and people will be ready to accept the anti-Christ and his mark (Rev. 13:16). People do strange things when they are hungry. Esau traded a fortune for a bowl of soup (Gen. 25:31-34).
GOD: What if the 2 Peter 3:8 verse has nothing to do with Me working 6,000 years and resting 1,000 (Rev. 20)? What if I’m not even using your calendar to plan my 2nd coming? What if I have My own? What if My coming is not for 200 years? Would I find faith?
KH: I sure hope You don’t wait that long, Lord! I’m ready for You to come now!
GOD: I know you are, Son, but billions of others are not ready. When I come I will come quickly (Rev. 2:5; 3:11; 22:20), but I want everyone who is willing to come join Me in Heaven (Rev. 22:17; John 3:16). The problem is that multitudes have never heard. That’s why I delay and send preachers (Mt. 10:7; 11:1; Luke 9:6; Rom. 10:14; 2 Tim. 4:2). Are you more concerned about the peace and safety of yourself and your loved ones than the lost going to Hell?
KH: I’m sorry, Lord. I guess I am.
GOD: You need to worry less about when I’m coming back and more about winning souls (Pro. 11:30; Dan. 12:3; Mt. 28:19-20). You keep busy doing what I commanded all My children to do, and I’ll come when it’s time. Go help David grow in My Word, Son. His Buddhist background has given him some baggage that he needs help getting rid of. Keep witnessing for Me in there, Son. I’ve got your back.

From the CSE team,
Thank you for your continued support.
…And 20 years after David Barton launched his Wallbuilders ministry…I am helping to launch a similar ministry http://www.michiganpep.org in my own backyard!
God has made each one of us an audience to certain evangelists, even Kent; that align with and help us develop our spiritual gifts so that we may give an effective witness – bear much fruit – and win souls!
The remnant is alive and on fire for Christ – unwilling to compromise His truths; look for this evidence in those teachers..are they “…increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”(Luke 2:52) – MANY false prophets are not; that is why we must “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
GOD(is right): [We] need to worry less about when [He is] coming back and more about winning souls (Pro. 11:30; Dan. 12:3; Mt. 28:19-20).
[Let us ALL] keep busy doing what [He has] commanded all [His] children to do, and [He will] come when it’s time!!!
He WILL COME!
Brother Kent,
You know I’ve been in the habit of looking for ironies in things. Apparently with the economic downturn the IRS is facing an 18 percent decline in revenue, its biggest ever drop since Roosevelt’s New Deal for America.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/03/tax-revenues-post-biggest_n_250108.html
Now just how much did the IRS need to hunt down Christian Ministries, Establishments of Religion, for a source of income when its total revenue base was about to fall through the floor?
I really don’t know which is the number one institution of Social Capital, whether it is the Family or the Church, or if these two can even be truly distinguished from each other.
In another time and place the Pharisees/Lawyers/tax collectors were hunting Corban in direct violation of the sanctity of the family. Their world of course was steering towards annihilation, while the shuffling of deck chairs on the Titanic went on, so to speak.
One might be able to hide beauty behind silk but brutality and cruelty are harder to disguise.
Here is one more irony for you. I kind of think the ten commandments should be pulled down from public institutions. It is a greater Honour to the Son of God, methinks, to place there the Two Commandments: Love God……., & Love thy neighbour……………. . The Royal Law! closely followed by the Perfect Law of Liberty.
If a Civil Administration really wanted to save itself perhaps the lintels to those buildings should really read “Jesus is Lord, in Him do we place our trust”.
It might remind those issuing civil servants with jackboots of the damage that can be done extending hands against families and their religious observance of The Way, The Truth and The Life.
cheers from Australia, where the Queen presides over the Protestant Reformed Religion, as a matter of Fact. – thank God for Historical Facts.
Brother Kent, RE: How Soon? This song, below, was taken from a cheap audio cassette recording of an underground church meeting among poor rural Chinese peasants. It seems to be Angelic and of that strange class of the paranormal: the Electronic Voice Phenomenon ?on a White Noise substrate.

George Mueller was fed by angels [even Samphire's England] as was a friend of mine, Barry Smith – on at least one occasion. The grammar might be forgiven for poor transliteration.
1. The famine is becoming more and more critical.
There are more and more earthquakes.
The situation is becoming more and more sinister.
People are fighting against each other, nation against nation.
Disasters are more and more severe.
2. The whole environment is deteriorating.
Disasters are more and more severe.
People’s hearts are wicked, and they do not worship the true God.
Disasters are more and more severe.
3. Floods and droughts are more and more frequent.
There is more and more homosexuality and incurable diseases.
Disasters are more and more severe.
4. The climates are becoming more and more abnormal.
The earth is more and more restless.
The skies have been broken. The atmosphere is distorted.
Disasters are more and more severe.
Chorus:
The end is near. The revelation of love has been manifested.
Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.
The end is near.
Rise up, rise up, rescue souls.
Soon you will be free: you will come back to the flock tending to the Lords sheep; you will be filled with the Spirit, renewed, ready to educate us, and share your tribulation, and your testimony; you will continue to bless us with your hard work, and in depth research into Scripture; then you will be a stronger and wiser Christian for enduring this attempt by Satan to shut you up, and you will roar like a lion when freed. We have one more Pope to go then know that the end is near. Wink.

Beloved Brother Kent.
Yes, we should indeed focus on winning souls. Sewing the seed. Thousands are dying & entering eternity without Christ. Untold millions are still outside the fold.
Thanks for encouraging us to re-focus to preach the gospel to all around us & all we meet for the time is short.
The Lord is in control of your situation & He will see you through.
