Aloha Saints, Family & Friends, beloved of Jesus and me,   8/6/21     From Ken Smith<><
CHILDREN,   Feeling a big political today,
Sort of considering our children. The Bible teaches that they are arrows in the quiver of a mighty man. We are enjoying 2 Japanese girls, 18, now giving us a hand at TruVine from upstate New York. They came to us as Wwoofers from upscale professional families with perfect finger nails, now removing weeds from our back stone wall. And are having great fun and enjoying this new adventure, so far. They are still like children in many ways but trying to learn to live in our morally bombed out world.   Please be in prayer for them.   Yours in HIS great love, Ken<><   www.Trinity-Aloha.org

Amazing….. “Worth Considering” (Potential of children.)

A PASTOR’s WIFE’s LETTER -Trish Woelk
Since the early days of my Christianity, I have been praying for revival.    Coming into the Kingdom at the end of the Charismatic Movement in l975, I went to Aglow and Full Gospel meetings, but the glory had departed and religion, politics and factions were moving in. My longing for the presence of the Lord was fed by writings and biographies of revivalists.    Studying Evans and Finney made my heart ache for the church. She was being overtaken by her enemies, the gods of this world. Ten years ago, while studying the 33rd chapter of Exodus, the Lord began showing me the state of the church.    Exodus 33:3- “Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst…”    I saw the church. No cloud. No pillar of fire. No Presence. No manifestation. No miracles, signs, or wonders. He was not with us.

We were wandering around in the desert, being over- taken by our enemies. There was a terrible shallowness everywhere. We said things about Jesus that were blasphemous: “Just ask Him into your heart and you will be saved”. Unbelief was common: “Can you really know if you are saved?” The most simple teachings of the Bible – repentance, holiness, sacrifice, faith, love, were ignored or misunderstood. Almost the entire church followed denominational hierarchies who used sheep, rather than caring for them.     Propagation was rare, something we studied, like math. Righteousness, peace, and joy? Testimonies? Baptisms? He was not with us.
“…lest I consume you on the way for you are a stiff- necked people.”One who is stiff-necked is one whose vision is restricted. Eventually, left untreated, the stiff-necked person´s head will not be able to turn.    Stubbornly holding to a form, the Institutional Church refuses to admit His glory has departed. Stiff-necked, she insists on carrying an ark that does not give evidence of His presence. Declaring she is a place of covering and protection, she is being overrun by her enemy.    Insisting she is the place of nurture, she is using hungry baby lambs to feed herself. Declaring herself a place of freedom, she uses the Bible to bind sheep to herself. She is led by a board of elders rather than a pillar of fire, and she is ruled by a pastor, rather than a King. “Bring them in so they can be saved!” she cries, while her sheep trudge through the desert full of unbelief, fear and timidity, unforgiveness and bitterness, ambition, vanity and sexual impurity, strife. Stiffly, with no more passion than the building she so proudly meets in, she drives her congregation through the motions of sustaining “church life”, which generally consists of a schedule (somehow thought to be hallowed) of weekly meetings…    Tragically, her differentiation from the world is not always discernible. She is stiff-necked, refusing to admit what everyone knows but her – her strength is in her numbers and her money, not her God.   Mike & Trish Woelk pastored for years in Pentecostal churches. They are still very active for God and are still recognized leaders among-st the Christians .   Rev. 3:12-22

Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection? July 30, 2021       With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.      By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.

TRADITIONS

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends, beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

TRADITIONS,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”   8/2/21      Ken Smith <><

We are on a space dock hustling through space in a temporary dimension of time with two transport star ships on the dock open for business. One looks like Los Vegas and the other looks like the peaceful farm where I was born in Kentucky.   We are on the dock but In our lifetime we will be boarding one or the other.   But you can not be on both at the same time.   One Ship is named Adam, the other, Jesus.       John 3

Jesus taught us to be aware of vain traditions:   Mark 7:6-8:   6 He (Jesus) replied, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture], ‘These people honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.” 7 ‘They worship Me in vain [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense], Teaching the precepts of men as doctrines [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].’ 8 You disregard and neglect the commandment of God, and cling [faithfully] to the tradition of men.”

And there are also good traditions:   2 Thess. 2:14-16:   “It was to this end that He called you through our gospel [the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection], so that you may obtain and share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, [a] brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold [tightly] to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and encouragement and the good [well-founded] hope [of salvation] by His grace.” So we need to take time to figure out which work and which don’t. The good ones help us to be like Jesus.

Revelation 1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Story in my e-mail….
One day a passerby saw a homeless man on the roadside. He stopped for a moment to hand him some loose change and casually said “God bless you, my friend”.   “I thank God,” said the homeless man, “I am never unhappy.” “What do you mean?” the passerby asked.   “Well,” he said, “when the sun is out, I thank God — when it rains, I thank God. When I am full, I thank God and when I am hungry, I thank God. And, since God’s will is my will, and whatever pleases Him pleases me, why should I say I am unhappy when I am not?” The man looked at him in astonishment and asked, “Who are you?” “I am a King,” said he. “Where, then, is your Kingdom?” asked the man. “In my heart.” The homeless man replied.     Yes, we can have nothing, yet have it all. So often, we focus on what we have and forget who we are! The two are not related at all — what we have (or don’t have) has nothing to do with who we are! The Word says that we are ambassadors, kings and priests and so it is!   Let’s give all our concerns to the Lord and see ourselves as He does — as part of His Royal Family! Thank God in every circumstance and there, we will find our victory.”

Ken’s notes:
So what do we have as traditions that get in the way of God’s will for us. I grew up in my early faith with pride that I belonged to the biggest church in town.   That was my church and I sang in the choir and eventually taught Adult Sunday School.   And that pride very nicely keep me from a Biblical position of humility, obedience & Biblical Truth.   I got so bored in listening to Salvation messages that I would go to sleep in front of 1500 people in the top middle of the choir loft behind the minister giving the sermon. My ribs were hurting each Sunday from the guys on both sides poking me to try to keep me awake.   And when awake, I would try to find the most lovely face in the congregation. Also as a General Contractor I would buy stuff for the church like carpeting and roofs and things needed as though serving GOD, but getting the pats on the back all the same.   And then later I found out that the Early Church had an evangelistic outreach on Saturday mornings in the Temple or where ever and then met in homes in the evening for a walk through the Tabernacle, Acts 2:39-43.   Each of the 7 steps was represented prophetically by the furnishings in the Tabernacle of Moses.   The church built no building and no tithes were collected.   They collected gifts and offerings for evangelism and for the poor. Paul even made tents so not to use collected funds. It was a totally new wine skin with a brand new wine and with powerful signs and wonders. So what happened to that?   We traditionalized it into our own comfort zone which makes us lukewarm as per the Last Church Leodocian, Rev.3:14-22/ Note that Jesus is outside this church, knocking to try to get in.

So we have, over the centuries, made religious traditions that make the church look good but is mostly powerless.   Paul taught us to leave that kind of foolishness and find some place else that truly makes Jesus LORD and allow the HOLY SPIRIT to guide and show us the Truth and the Power of HIS KINGDOM.

One tradition is you are OK, I am OK. As if we don’t really have to agree or believe in the same things but we are still OK. We can agree to disagree and this is OK with GOD, but it is not. The only recorded prayer of Jesus that was heard by John is concerning true unity, John 17. All through the scriptures we are challenged to have the Unity of the Faith in the Bond of Peace.   Unity in God’s truth is the only channel in which the power of the Holy Spirit can flow.   Today the so called church is fractured into so many pieces that it is taught that the Book of Acts is only a history and not good for doctrine.   But until we find obedience in LOVE & RIGHTEOUSNESS, to join together in GOD’s TRUTH there will ALWAYS BE little or no power to help those in need.

We have the tradition of looking good on the outside and not really being much concerned about the inside nor the power of God to fix things.   Our Creator is intent on creating a powerful family in loving righteousness.   We find it difficult to have any form of unity, anywhere, especially in our homes, marriages, churches and govt.

We have a tradition of loving our leadership when they look good and trashing them when they are exposed and are like the rest of us. As though it was them we were to receive help from rather than that the glory belongs to GOD and it simply flowed through them.   We elevate them to a place of pride where they can not succeed nor survive.

We have a lot of “TRADITIONS” that keep us from seeing Jesus and all of HIS GLORY that brings folks to HIM.   Might study, Eph. 4:11-16, 1 Cor. 14:23-40 for a view of the Early Church.   And Paul’s prophesy of today’s church in 2 Tim. 3:1-9.   But the church does end up victorious without spot, wrinkle or blemish before she goes home. And in Rev. 12:11 boots lucifer out of the Heavens. So hang on tight, we are getting ready for a real Holy Spirit bath and some deep pruning from the LORD..

If in Kona, and interested, we have OhanaChurch.Life at 5:30 Tuesday Evenings, PotBlessing.   Write Ken for directions:   ken@trinity-aloha.org

ATHEISM

July 28, 2021/0 Comments/in Worth Considering/by Ken Smith

Aloha, Saints, Family and Friends, beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

ATHEISM        “WORTH CONSIDERING” 7/27/21 Now the religion of our school systems.

But tonight our our TrueVine Fellowship, we will be discussing Heaven & Eternity. Our gathering is at 5:30 on Tuesday evenings till about 7:30 and a shared meal, Pot-Blessing.”

YES !!!, FAITH, is a really big personal decision. Once I felt solid in1954 that there must be Intelligent Design for many solid reasons.   Then I started a deep study of most of the world’s religions and focused on the pride factor. Obviously the difference between man and animal is freewill. As only with freewill is love really valid. And if love is the heart beat of our Creator then it is HIS prime directive to help us learn to love HIM, ourselves and each other with our freewill without manipulation.    And in my pride study, Christianity was the most effective in dealing with pride and supporting freewill to have a righteous freedom to learn about love. I was an Earth Science Major in College and an atheist prior to becoming a Christian. And I also agree that there are a lot of Bible Thump-ers, and some so called Christians that are not at all following in the steps of Jesus. But that does not make HIS help for us to learn about love any less effective.   The only tenable space for an atheist at this point to have the humility to say “I really don’t know.” There is no way logically for anyone to prove that GOD does not exist. And if you really get honest, the creation speaks very loudly to confirm intelligent design. Then logically to find the baby (truth) and toss the bath water. We have been given a good head for this.   And a lot of our so called Christian Traditions are really only bath water and totally ineffective for finding out about the creation or why we are here as a soul living in a house of water & dirt. And many seriously get in the way of finding the Truth And I am sure there are many good reasons for anyone to be antagonistic to Christianity.   But they are all man made and not of the Creator that I know and love. He never manipulates our freewill as that would invalidate our ability to learn to love. May your search for the TRUTH continue in faith and love. And in humility learn to seek, knock and ask and so to will find your eternal destiny. Your soul has been created eternal, it is only left for you to decide the placement.                Ken<>< www.trinity-aloha.org

America is a force for good in the world. We should STAND for the national anthem. Police officers keep us safe. Marriage is a holy covenant before God. An unborn child is a child. Children do best when raised by a mother and a father. And there is a difference between boys and girls. Even just five years ago, no one would have blinked at these words.   They were completely unobjectionable truths. But today, saying just one of those statements in America — where we are guaranteed our right to freedom of speech in the Constitution — can get you fired from work or disciplined at school. This isn’t the future you and I want for our country! Ted Cruz

Destructive political forces have found unity in their agenda to make America a Socialist State.   Those of us who are against this must wake up soon and find unity or we will end up as slaves OF THAT STATE.

BAPTISM WITH/IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

July 24, 2021/0 Comments/in Worth Considering/by Ken Smith

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends, Beloved of Jesus and me, John3:16

BAPTISM, FILLED/WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, “WORTH CONSIDERING” 7/23/21 Ken<><

Baptism = to Immerse, Whelm, Saturate. Need context to know what is immersed in what? We will be covering this topic on our Tuesday evening Bible Fellowship from 5:30 till about 7:30 with a “Pot-Blessing.” Some come if you can? 85-4554 Mamalahoa Hwy. So. Captain Cook, HI 96704 (Kealia)

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Heb. 12:13-15

Matt. 3:10-12, “And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear::he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. ( Also fits for the pre-tribulation Rapture.)

So when did GOD’S Salvation become effective for HIS CHURCH?
John 20:15-23, “ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

Acts 1:4-5, “And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”

Acts 1:8, But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Luke 11:11-13, “If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Acts 2:4, “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” The Real Church: 1 Cor. 14:26-33, Eph.4:11.

There are two ministries of the Holy Spirit among many that are very important to us: The Breath of Life for our salvation and in our obedience the Power of God to do HIS will.

So where in the New Testament do we see the example of this? First in Samaria with Philip in Acts 8:12, “But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:14-17, “Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

And with Paul the same thing. Acts 8:4, “And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? (So Saul became Paul here and was saved, Rom.10:9-10. And then 3 days later: Acts 8:17, “And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

And again with the disciples of Apollos, Acts 19:2, “He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost…4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

GREAT QUOTES on Holiness: (“Without which, no man shall see the LORD.”
“You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.”
-Leonard Ravenhill      “Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.”-Oswald Chambers
“True holiness is not achieved by what we do, but what we allow God to do in us.”   -Mark Hart
“Holiness is not the way to Christ. Christ is the way to holiness.” -Adrian Rogers     “God has one destined end for mankind – holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing- machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.” -Oswald Chambers    “If you think you can walk in holiness without keeping up perpetual fellowship with Christ, you have made a great mistake. If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.”-Charles Spurgeon     “Holiness has never been the driving force of the majority. It is, however, mandatory for anyone who wants to enter the kingdom.”-Elisabeth Elliot     “Many Christians have what we might call a ‘cultural holiness.’ They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them… But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like Himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God.” -Jerry Bridges    “Do not expect to grow in holiness if you spend little time alone with God and do not take His Word seriously.” -Joel Beeke     prophetic@revivalschool.com

SIGNS, RAPTURE, WRATH & KINGDOM

July 20, 2021/0 Comments/in Worth Considering/by Ken Smith

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends, Beloved of Jesus and me, John 3:16 These are my notes for Tuesday evening HouseChurch, www.OhanaChurch.Life. Tomorrow evening we will be getting together at about 5:30 PM for a Pot-Blessing and some sharing time together like in 1 Cor. 14:20-33 If in the area:
85-4554 Mamalahoa Hwy. Captain Cook, Hawaii 96704 ken@trinity-aloha.org

SIGNS, RAPTURE, WRATH & KINGDOM, 7/20/21 TrueVine HouseChurch Ken<><
THIRTEEN SIGNS concerning Jesus Christ returning for HIS Church to take them home. (Leave any out?)

1.     Falling away, 2 Thess. 2:3, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,                     except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2.   Many coming in the name of Jesus but not teaching what HE taught. Matt. 24:5
3.   Wars & Rumors of wars, Matt. 24:6
4.   Famines, Matt.24:7
5.   Pestilence (Pandemic), Matt. 24:7
6.   Earthquakes, in many places.   Matt. 24:;7
7.   Persecutions. Matt.24:9-10
8.   False prophets. Matt.24:11
9.   Sin to increase and many returning back into the world. Matt.24:12
       We need to remember:   “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
10.    Matt.24:14    And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come…..33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away…..42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come….50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

1 Thess. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

11. 1 Pet. 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

12. Dan.12:4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

13. The Jews have returned home and again have a language and nation. Lk.21:24, Isa. 66:8, Zech.12:3
Jer. 16:14-15, Isaiah 11:11-12, Matt.23:39….

WE ARE JUST ABOUT HERE AT THE PRESENT TIME:

Then comes the DAY of WRATH for the rejection of GOD’S salvation for 7 years on the Earth. In Heaven at the same time there is victory, rejoicing and the union of Christ and HIS Church.

With the beginning of the Great Tribulation GOD allows the antichrist to FINALLY gain control, which he has always wanted, and this begins the downward spiral of pain to judgment and Armageddon. This whole 7 years will be extremely painful to all those left behind. But, Ezek. 28:18….. It is the beginning of the final judgment of lucifer being thrown into the lake of fire.

Rom.2:5    But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of         wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Rom. 5:9    Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood,             [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
Rom. 9:22    What if God, although willing to show His [terrible] wrath and to make His power known, has         tolerated with great patience the objects of His wrath [which are] prepared for destruction?

Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. (There has been sixty nine weeks of years from Daniel to Jesus. ” There is still 7 years remaining to complete this prophesy. Many feel, as I do, that the remaining 7 years refers to the Great Tribulation still under the LAW: “to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity and bring in everlasting righteousness.” So the Great Tribulation is 7 years long as in Rev. 12. Without the presence and Power of the Holy Spirit who came at Pentecost and will leave with the Church. This will be a deadly 7 years on earth, going from very bad to much much worse.

Rev.12:6 And the woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (3 ½ years of major persecution from the beginning of the Great Tribulation under the antichrist without obstruction.)

Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (The, They, here is the Church in heaven and boots lucifer out off the heavens ½ way through the Great Tribulation.)

Rev. 12:14 And to the woman (Israel) were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (another 3 ½ more years of even greater persecution for the Jews.)
Rev.4:1 And then there is John as caught up after the Church Age on earth like the Rapture to see the rest of The Revelation from a heavenly perspective.

Rev. 12:5, Like the Man Child (Jesus) is also caught up with the “Rod of Iron” into heaven. the serious persecution of the Jews is noted. The Rod of Iron is the Church: (Psalm 2:9, Rev. 2:27, Rev. 12:5, Rev. 19:15 ) With which the Lord (The Head ) will rule the nations in HIS 1,000 year KINGDOM of Righteousness and for eternity. The “Rod of Iron” (Church) is caught up with Jesus as the head in the eternal perspective of God as per Cor. 12, Eph. 4:14, Eph. 5: 23, Acts 4:11, Col. 1:18, 2:19.

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends, beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

HEAVEN      “WORTH CONSIDERING   7/16/21

Today’s Scripture: ( A Good word, from a church in Texas.)
“The LORD has made everything for his own purposes… ” (Proverbs 16:4, NLT)

There Is a Purpose
When someone walks out of your life and you don’t understand, it’s easy to get discouraged. But when you meet the divine connection He has for you, somebody better than you ever dreamed, you’ll look back and say it was part of His purpose. Or, what about the supervisor who tried to keep you down all those years? You didn’t realize it at the time, but staying in that workplace with a good attitude, giving your best, and doing the right thing when the wrong thing was happening was developing your character, strengthening your spiritual muscles, and getting you prepared for the next level. You wouldn’t be who you are without that difficulty. You didn’t like it at the time, but you look back now and say that was good.

God’s ways are better than our ways. He sees things we can’t see. He always has a purpose in what He’s doing. Trust Him. If you keep honoring Him, it’s just a matter of time before God brings it all together.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You see the big picture for my life, and You use difficulties for my good. Help me to be patient and trusting when things happen that I don’t understand. I believe that You will bring it all together for my good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Ken’s Thoughts,
We really need to find and understand God’s overview to really submit to these thought. These thought are so very foreign to our old Adamic carnal nature that we have learned to live with. It is impossible for our sin nature to be comfortable with God Truth, 2 Corinthians 5:16-18 AMP “So from now on we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values]. Though we have known Christ from a human point of view, now we no longer know Him in this way. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior & Lord ], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 18 But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him],

What is an old Earth creationist?
A: An old Earth creationist is a creationist who thinks that God created everything, but also accept that the Earth and the universe really are 4.5 billions and 13.8 billion years old, respectively. They usually argue that the six days of the bible is metaphorical, and that the actual Hebrew word used for “day” (“yom”) can also mean a really long time, epoch or era. They can be further those who think that evolution is God’s toolbox of creating kinds (i.e. evolution happened as biology says it does, but God was behind the steering wheel.)

Further this is seen in the plants being the 3rd day, while the sun, moon and stars were on the 4th day.   And then God telling Adam to “replenish and subdue” the earth and putting him in a Garden to keep him safe from what was still left over from after the great destruction, Gen.1, Isa. 28:17. And we also see this in the union of Adam’s family becoming joined to the previous creation as they were evicted from Eden, Gen. 6:1, John 3

Peter wrote that a 1,000 years was like a day to the Creator.   So we have trudged through 6,000 years on earth and are almost ready for the day of rest, Sabbath, The Kingdom of Christ Jesus of 1,000 years.    Zech. 14:3-4, “ Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from the east to the west by a very large valley, and half of the mountain will move toward the north and half of it toward the south. Armageddon.       (Some feel this valley will allow the sea water to fill the Dead Sea and Jerusalem will become a seaport. This is at the beginning of the 1,000 year millennium Kingdom.   And then after 7,000 years of securing man’s destiny on earth for Heaven or Hell then comes “All Things New.”

Heaven:
Rev. 21:3-5, ““See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them [b] [as their God,] 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the [c] former order of things has passed away.” 5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”

1 Corinthians 2:8-10, None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed]. 10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding].”

Heaven is located up to our North
Job 26:7 “It is He who spreads out the north over emptiness. And [a] hangs the earth on nothing.

Hell is a void retained by God for lucifer and those who do not follow Jesus as all souls are eternal. Jude 12-25
Isaiah 14:13: “But you said in your heart, (lucifer) ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly In the remote parts of the north. Ezek. 28:18, (GOD to lucifer) “You profaned your sanctuaries By the great quantity of your sins and the enormity of your guilt, By the unrighteousness of your trade. Therefore I will bring forth a fire from your midst; It will consumed you, And I will reduced you to ashes on the earth In the sight of all who look at you.

At our small local House Church we will be spending time sharing concerning the above scriptures.

ARMAGGEDDON & KINGDOM 2

ARMAGEDDON,    ‘WORTH CONSIDERING” 7/13/21   www.OhanaChurch.Life,        by Ken Smith<><

Revelation 16:12-14
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for [the coming of] the kings from [a]the east. Armageddon    13 And I saw three loathsome spirits like frogs, leaping from the mouth of the dragon (Satan) and from the mouth of the beast (Antichrist, dictator) and from the mouth of the false prophet; 14 for they are [actually] the spirits of demons, performing [miraculous] signs. And they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.    (Notes: Revelation 16:12 Lit the rising sun. Using this phrase, or just the rising, was the ancient way of referring to the east. A dry Euphrates would enable massive armies to travel quickly from the region of Iraq (Babylonia) to territory north of Israel (Syria) in preparation for the battle at Har-Magedon (v 16))

Revelation 16:15-17, 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief. [a]Blessed is he who [b]stays awake and who keeps his clothes [that is, stays spiritually ready for the Lord’s return], so that he will not be naked—spiritually unprepared—and men will not see his shame.”) 16 And they (demons) gathered the kings and armies of the world together at the place which in Hebrew is called [c]Har-Magedon (Armageddon). Seventh Bowl of Wrath. 17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne [of God], saying, “It is done. [It is all over, it is all accomplished, it has come.]”

The Coming of Christ the Conqueror
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who was riding it is called Faithful and True (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady), and in righteousness He judges and wages war [on the rebellious nations]. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many royal crowns; and He has a name inscribed [on Him] which no one knows or understands except Himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in [f]blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, [dazzling] white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword (His word) with which He may strike down the nations, and He will [g]rule them with a rod of iron; and He will tread the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty [in judgment of the rebellious world]. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” 17 Then I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he shouted to all the birds that fly in midheaven, saying, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may feast on the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all humanity, both free men and slaves, both small and great [in a complete conquest of evil].”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings and political leaders of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against Him these two were hurled alive into the lake of fire which blazes with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and gorged themselves with their flesh.

Isaiah 52:1-3,   Awake, awake, Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you. 2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise, O captive Jerusalem; Rid yourself of the chains around your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion. 3 For the Lord says this, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed, but not with money.”

Micah 4:2-4,   And many nations shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways, And that we may walk in His paths.”For the law shall go forward from Zion, And the word of the Lord [the revelation about Him and His truth] from Jerusalem. 3 And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for strong and distant nations. Then they shall hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks [so that the implements of war may become the tools of agriculture]; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Nor shall they ever again train for war. 4 Each of them shall sit [in security and peace] under his vine, And under his fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid, For the mouth of the [omnipotent] Lord of hosts has spoken it.

Matthew 8:10-12,   10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following Him, “I tell you truthfully, I have not found such great faith [as this] with anyone in Israel. 11 I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven [because they accepted Me as Savior], 12 while the sons and heirs of the kingdom [the descendants of Abraham who will not recognize Me as Messiah] will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place [which is farthest removed from the kingdom] there will be weeping [in sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [in distress and anger].”

Isaiah 65:24-25, 24 “It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox [there will no longer be predator and prey]; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain (Zion),” says the Lord.

Ezekiel 34:25-27,   25 “I will make a covenant of peace with them and will eliminate the predatory animals from the land so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep [safely] in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places around My hill (Jerusalem, Zion) a blessing. And I will make showers come down in their season; there will be [abundant] showers of blessing (divine favor). 27 Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its produce; and My people will be secure on their land. Then they will know [with confidence] that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have rescued them from the hand of those who made them slaves.”

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends, beloved of Jesus and me, John 3:16 (Have a great 4th of July….)

HEAVEN, A Short Study, Revelation, #7 of 7 “Worth Considering” 7/4/21 From Ken Smith<><

From the beginning of our new species with a freewill, as in Adam, 6,000 years ago we have seemed to know that there was something beyond the door of death. For most of us it seems woven into our being from birth. Of course we hear stories of what folks think it is. When young I got the impression heaven was sitting on cloud 9 with a harp. None of that was of any interest to me, it sounded rather boring. But considering there are some 694 verses in the Holy Bible about Heaven, there is certainly a lot of interest in the subject. And as we get older, like me, we give it a bit more attention as our soul lives in a temporary body. Bible teaches that the life is in the blood. If the blood stops, the soul leaves.

So in the beginning before the physical heavens and the earth existed there was only GOD and HIS POWER. Then it seems that HE decided to have a family and to covert just a bit of HIS power into a universe, and us, a Universe which we get to see every night. Especially sunsets make me stop and watch their unique beauty and I never tire of the joy of watching the heavens in the evening. And then I reflect upon the love in my creation that allows my soul to see through my eyes the beauty and colors of that radiated energy. None of which is necessary for my life. It is a love gift from my Creator as Paul talks about in Romans 1:19-20

So let’s go to Job, the oldest book in our Bible, for understanding about where heaven is: Job 26:7 “It is He who spreads out the north over emptiness. And [a] hangs the earth on nothing. “ Job 37:22 . “Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it]; Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes].

Apostle Paul, mentions that he knew a man who was caught up into the 3rd Heaven in 1 Co. 12:1-5, “ It is necessary to boast, though nothing is gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I know a [a] man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows—such a man was caught up to the [b] third heaven. 3 And I know that such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows—4 was caught up into [c] Paradise and heard inexpressible words which man is not permitted to speak [words too sacred to tell]. 5 On behalf of such a man [and his experiences] I will boast; but in my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. (And I really believe it was Paul.) So Heaven has layers, at least 3? Earths Air space, Star universe, & God’s Dwelling Place.

Apostle John had a similar experience in Rev. 4:1 “After this I looked, and behold, [a] a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a [war] trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” 2 At once I was in [special communication with] the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with One seated on the throne. 3 And He who sat there appeared like [the crystalline sparkle of] [b] a jasper stone and [the fiery redness of] a sardius stone, and encircling the throne there was a rainbow that looked like [ the color of an] emerald. …” Read chapters 4 & 5…. for a better look but remember they did not have our vocabulary words to use.

So lets get into what we can know. tells us that it is a totally different dimension than the time dimension that we live in. 1 Cor.13:8-13, “ Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love.

Heaven, what to expect, in Rev. 21:3-4, “and then I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “See! The tabernacle of God is among men, and He will live among them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them [b] [as their God,] 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the [c] former order of things has passed away.” Should read Rev. 21 & 22.

And there will be a new heaven and a new earth and a building that Christ Jesus is building of about 1500 miles square at the base and 1500 miles high. Could be a cube but I think a pyramid. And it will be the gathering place for Christ Jesus and the Church for eternity. Rev. 20:26-27: “and they will bring the glory (splendor, majesty) and the honor of the nations into it; 27 and nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices abominations [detestable, morally repugnant things] and lying, but only those [will be admitted] whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

So what will the Church be doing? As Kings and Priests, Rev.1:6, 5:10, 20:6 and Ambassadors 2 Cor. 5:20. Stewards over cities: Luke:19-17-19. So as Jesus said,” John 14:1-3 “Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.” So think about it, Perhaps we have been allowed to live in a world controlled by lucifer to make us spiritual strong in Jesus if we have made HIM LORD. Those other dwelling places may have had no Jesus or lucifer. Perhaps God want’s them to also know about HIM but without the big mess. Perhaps we are in a school to bring us to the place of being the Rod of Iron in scripture to help share the love of our Great Creator to HIS other creations in the universe. I sort of lean that way. Who else could best share the Love of God than those who have been saved by it. Those who have overcame lucifer by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony and loved Jesus more than their own lives. Rev.12 :11. If you like this, please pass it along.

ARMAGEDDON &The KINGDOM

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends, beloved of Jesus and me, John 3:16

ARMAGEDDON & The KINGDOM #6. in series.   “WORTH CONSIDERING”   7/2/21

An overview 6 of 7 of “The Revelation” of Jesus Christ as written by Apostle John.   by Ken Smith<><

In the past 5 studies we have covered    1.)Signs,   2.) Rapture,   3.) 7 yrs. ECSTASY,   4.)144,000, 5.) 7 yrs. WRATH,    6.) Armageddon & Kingdom,   7.) New Heaven & Earth

Today, and every day we are seeing the movement of the atheistic Socialistic Kingdom, The New Word Order seeking to plant the seeds of destruction in our United States. Soros has spent billions of his own money towards the vision of a one world concept.    Pretty much the rest of the world has either been subjugated or does not care.   So, as goes the U.S., so goes the world.. Most of the lies of the false peace are now found everywhere and the real truth has been locked up now as most of the sources of objective news in the U.S. Have been closed down.   And our educational system is now overrun with those who find the lies of Socialism rational. Over 30 million so called Evangelicals did not even vote in the last presidential election. And many voted for Socialism as they believed the lies.

So now our general population is teetering on the edge of going for the lies of socialism to try to find security.    Just one more senator on the Socialist side of the balance and it is pretty much a done deal and over the dam we go.    The Nordic Countries tried out Socialism a couple of decades ago and have been working hard ever since to leave it behind due to the destruction that it caused in their economies. The Bible teaches that if a man will not work, don’t feed him. In Socialism the promise is that everyone has the right to eat, regardless. The Nordic countries went broke trying to make Socialism work. But many today have not heard of the other side of that story and still hold up the Nordic countries as an example of how good socialism is. China is rather pragmatic.   The heart beat has been changed back to Capitalism but the brains of Socialism are still in control of the CCP . And now the CCP is GOD for the common man and the system is really NWO. In the 7 years of the Great Tribulation the NWO takes total control of the world by the middle of the Great Tribulation and the world will find itself in total electronic economic slavery.   All transactions must go through the N.W.O. Computer.   And any excess energy will all go into making the war equipment to bring the whole world into submission to the N.W.O.. Seems like little Israel may be the last country on the block to try to bring into submission.   But they have vowed together to never experience again what happened to them in WW II And as the N.W.O. army goes into the Middle East for this final and ultimate control, this is when Jesus returns.

So the light is getting brighter as the darkness is getting darker. And the Middle East with it’s mineral wealth is the focus for the N.W.O. to have access to. The far east has massive plans and is building the old silk road to connect to the wealth of the world to China. This same road will be used in seeking to ultimately destroy Israel once again as in 70 AD with Titus. Christ Jesus will return at that time in His second advent.   In the first advent Jesus came as the suffering Savior, Isa. 52, Psalms 22.   In HIS 2nd Advent HE returns as the King of Kings and at Armageddon totally destroys the armies gathered there to destroy Israel . The world persecution of the Jews is going to become horrendous during those last 7 years of the Great Tribulation.
But this will not be like the gunfight at the OK Corral. It will not even be a battle. It will be a slam dunk victory with only the words out of the mouth of King Jesus. It will be like every computer chip in all of the gadgets of the worlds armies is fried and nothing works, all at the same time. And all of the men in the equipment are killed in the field and then in prophesy, feed the vultures.

After 6,000 years of watching us dissect and destroy HIS beautiful creation, our Creator GOD is very upset !!!!!! But HE has waited patiently for the manifested creation (Rom.8:19) of HIS eternal family through the Blood Of The Lamb.   After Armageddon the Kingdom of Christ Jesus is set up on Mount Zion in Jerusalem for the PEACE that will be on the earth for 1,000 years.   Psalm 133:3,   Isa.2:3, Joel 2:1, Micah 4:2, Zach. 8:3.   Jesus returns to destroy the armies of the world in Israel with the word of HIS mouth.   Then Adam’s curse will also be lifted and it will be like living again in Eden. At the end of the 1,000 years our Creator God allows those souls to also be tested.    lucifer will again be released and he goes forth and gathers another army out of the folks in the Kingdom. Rev. 20:7-10.

After this final testing of the souls from the Kingdom,   then comes the 2nd Resurrection, Rev.20:11 and anyone whose name was not written in the “Book of Life” was removed in fiery pain into the midst or outer darkness as a living soul without a body for Eternity.   Think of what it would be like to not have your body? There is nothing in Holy Scripture concerning God creating a new body for the souls who opt out of HIS salvation. And the body you now have, has a built in delete button, Gen.6:3.   This is what is says, unvarnished, you want to try to change it, it is up to you, you have a free will to do as you wish. But the Bible contains the Holy Word of God, like it or not.

Please read Revelation, Chapters 21 & 22, you really don’t want to miss being there. At the end of the 7,000 years our Creator reconstitutes our solar system atoms into HIS comfort zone as a new creation and not one trace of lucifer’s evil will ever be found again. Then the former things will have passed away including time. And GOD’S original vision and purpose will be realized as man will then be in GOD’S own image and likeness as a Holy obedient righteous soul but still having a free will. But also totally loyal and completely sealed into Christ Jesus as the WORD OF GOD, KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS to the Glory of the Father. The Kingdom of God will be filled with the Love, Humility, Obedience and Righteousness of God.

The Revelation of Christ Jesus was written with the simple words of that time and many of the words that we use today did not even exist. There was very little mechanical nothing electronic and very little medical so we need to read The Revelation through the eyes of a person of the 1st Century and the Holy Spirit help us make the adjustments to our time.

Jeremiah 17:9-10   “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”

GREAT TRIBULATION, “WRATH” “Worth Considering” 7/1/21     from Ken<><

At this time we are coming into the birth pains for the birth or final gathering of the souls of the Church of Christ Jesus as LORD.   Persecution is coming, the NWO, a great revival, a false peace, the Rapture when totally unexpected and then the WRATH of GOD falls due to the pride and rebellion on earth and because of those in sin who have rejection of HIS salvation.

The last lesson #4, was the 7 years in heaven, and this is #5, the 7 same years but on earth.

The seven seals (Revelation 6:1–17; 8:1–5)
   Time line, overview of the whole 7 years of God’s WRATH.

1.) Seven trumpets (Revelation 8:6–9:21; 11:15–19)
      1/3 of earth burned up, 1/3 of sea becomes blood, 1/3 water poisoned, sky darkened by 1/3, demons           released, painful sting, 5 months. 200 million army from the East.   1/3 of humanity is killed.

2.) Seven thunders (Revelation 10:3-4)   Sealed (unknown)

    Chapter 12 is also a very Important Time Line Chapter as is Chapter 6.

3.) Seven bowls/vials (Revelation 16:1–21)
   Pandemic plagues, poisoned waters, Heat of sun increased scorching humanity, then darkness                            (volcanic action?) and boils with great pain, Euphrates dries up. Gathering of the armies of the world to         Israel, massive earthquake, hailstones

Judgment of world’s false religious system (Revelation 17 & 18) during this time.

These three end-times judgments from God are due to what was done to Jesus and the rejection of God’s offered redemption and yet none repented. Personally I tend to see these 3 judgments as all taking place at the same time from different perspectives, but this is my point of reference. Also some feel the Church of Jesus will still be on earth for part or all of this, I strongly disagree. This is the WRATH of GOD due to unrepentant, Those in the TRUE Church have already repented and Jesus is already LORD. God’s just wrath was taken by Jesus for HIS Church, Isa.53, John 3:16, Rom.10:9-14. 1 Cor. 13.

The seven seals include the appearance of the Antichrist (Revelation 6:1–2), great warfare (Revelation 6:3–4), famine (Revelation 6:5–6), plague (Revelation 6:7–8), the martyrdom of believers in Christ (Revelation 6:9–11), a devastating earthquake causing terrible devastation, and astronomical upheaval (Revelation 6:12–14). Those who survive the six seals are right to cry out, “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 their wrath has come, and who can stand?” (Revelation 6:16–17).   (Covers the whole 7 years.)

The trumpets include hail and fire that destroy much of the plant life in the world (Revelation 8:7), the death of much of the world’s aquatic life (Revelation 8:8–9; 8:10–11), the darkening of the sun and moon (Revelation 8:12), a plague of “demonic locusts” that torture the unsaved (Revelation 9:1–11), and the march of a demonic army that kills a third of humanity (Revelation 9:12–21).

The seventh trumpet calls forth seven angels who carry the seven bowls of God’s wrath (Revelation 11:15–19; 15:1–8). The bowl judgments include painful sores afflicting humanity (Revelation 16:2), the death of every living thing in the sea (Revelation 16:3), the turning of rivers to blood (Revelation 16:4–7), an intensifying of the sun’s heat (Revelation 16:8–9), great darkness and an intensification of the sores from the first bowl (Revelation 16:10–11), the advance of the Antichrist’s armies at Armageddon (Revelation 16:12–14), and a devastating earthquake followed by giant hailstones (Revelation 16:15–21).

Together, the seals, trumpets, thunders and bowls of the end times comprise “the great day of [God’s ] wrath” (Revelation 6:17) and serve to judge the Antichrist’s kingdom of wickedness. Revelation 16:5–7 declares of God, “You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve. . . . Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”

At the end of the 7 years of GOD’S WRATH the armies of the world are poised to destroy Israel once again as in 70 AD with Titus.   But this time Jesus returns and destroys the armies of the world at Armageddon and sets up HIS 1,000 yr. earthly kingdom of righteousness on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem. Rev. 19:11-19   Notice the Rod of Iron in verse 15 as HIS Church has, by then, become HIS Rod of Iron.
