The message:  Jesus Christ and Him crucified, dead, buried, raised and seated at the right hand of The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

The message is that all have sinned and fallen short.

The message is that the wages of sin is death.

The message is that there is no other name in heaven or earth by which men must be saved.

The message is still found beautifully written in Jesus' address to Nicodemus late one night, in chapter 3 of John's gospel in verse 16.

I read the prophecy blogs, listen to the videos, and read the books and the hateful off base comments.

John 5:37-40 (NLT)

And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face, and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you.

You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me. Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.

Luke 18:8 (NLT)

I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?

Here at Unsealed, we have nothing for sale.  Not a book, video, guest speaker, nada...

We're planning to go out of business and by all indications, we're closing up shop soon.

We're working hard to hold loosely to this world and freely share the Word that has been entrusted to us.

Very reflective and focused these days.  I am confident in my faith, joyful in the hope that we hold, yet sad for the world and burdened for the many close to me who are far from Him.

Still amazed as I reflect on the last seven years, how very few have come with a heart full of joy, ready to share the hope that lies within and how rare to encounter those with a deep burden for a lost and dying world. Nearly unheard of is a prayer request to join in, petitioning for a friend or family member who is unaware, unready and condemned.

At a loss with my own heart that struggles with the excitement of the coming wrath and the joy in my own self-preservation and escape plan.

Still think often that God will collectively fully celebrate the wedding of the Son and the bride, fully grieve those who have rejected the free gift, fully long for repentance, while at the same be fully engaged in the wrath of The Day of the LORD and The Time of Jacob's Trouble.

There were so few blogs, prophetic pulpits and YouTube channels seven years ago.  Now they are everywhere.

Most have a shared understanding that the hour is late and there is urgency, yet many have stopped pursuing the lost and have elevated the defense of their own position.  Argument and debate rage.

The world doesn't want any part of that.

In this we the watching kingdom of priests have surely lost our way.

Our mission continues to be to make Him more known, more famous and more glorified.

Jeremiah 9:24 (NLT)

But those who wish to boast
    should boast in this alone:
that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord
    who demonstrates unfailing love
    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,
and that I delight in these things.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

Humbled that so many of the least of these in this present age, will be so well rewarded in the age to come.  They were more disciplined, more on mission, more grateful, more surrendered, more content, more selfless.  They went around in sheep skins and goat skins and holes in the ground.

As much as we talk about signs around here and of late the Revelation 12 sign has all of our jaws aghast, still the point is God is speaking. He is communicating His soon return.  All hands on deck. All hands, man your life boats.  Search your hearts.  Search His Word.  Allow Him to come and search and cleanse your heart.  Be ready.  Share this most excellent news with everyone you know,

In heaven, no one will ask about my Revelation 12 interpretation or who the AC/FP/Beast actors might be. Greg - was the revived Roman empire eastern or western?  Islamic?  Who or what was the pale horse?  When did Daniel's 70th week begin?

What will matter and what matters now, is how do I know Him, what transformation did that knowledge do in my life and who did I bring with me.

Scoffers abound.  Most don't believe there is a God in the first place.  If they concede this first point, they certainly don't believe in any specific prophecy about the time of His return and if they concede both points, they devolve into arguing about details, while spending mass quantities of time studying, while denying the commission:

Matthew 23:23

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NLT)

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

Only God can testify to what if any good we did here. We had prayed many would see the impossibility of anything other than global calamity, repent and be saved from the coming wrath.

Confident we helped some tired saints remember this world is passing away.

Still praying one more would come. The door is not yet shut, but at the wedding feast the meal is being prepared and the bread is in the oven.

Maranatha.
