Sudden Destruction is Promised to Come (3 min)

1 Corinthians 14:8  For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?

 

1 Thessalonians 5:1-5  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  2  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  3  For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  4  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  5  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

 

Luke 21:34-36  "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.  35  For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.  36  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

 

Isaiah 30:8-14  Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:  9  That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD;  10  Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.  11  Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us."  12  Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them,  13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.  14  And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter's vessel, Which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare. So there shall not be found among its fragments A shard to take fire from the hearth, Or to take water from the cistern."

 

If you do not listen to the warnings, you are building a fake wall of confidence around you, even though the world is SCREAMING that trouble is coming...when that wall breaks, there won't even be a shard of confidence left.  Take down the wall now so that your heart will respond and build an ark...something that doesn't keep the flood out, but rather floats on it!  You can't stop the flood, or delay the flood, of Jesus' return.  You are supposed to love it...to hasten it.

 

David's Tabernacle IS the ark.

 

·         Noah built an ark and the same flood that killed everyone else lifted him to safety

·         Moses was placed in an ark and drawn out of the water to become a deliverer to God's people

·         David built a tent for the ark of the covenant.  David's Tabernacle, according to every prophet, was for ALL nations:

 

Acts 15:15-17  And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:  16  'AFTER THIS I WILL RETURN AND WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN; I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL SET IT UP;  17  SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, EVEN ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SAYS THE LORD WHO DOES ALL THESE THINGS.'

 

We live in the hour this was warning of...David's Tabernacle is the barn all true grains will be stored in through the trouble:

 

Amos 9:9-12  "For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.  10  All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.'  11  "On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old;  12  That they may possess the remnant of Edom,  And all the Gentiles who are called by My name," Says the LORD who does this thing.
