2 Peter 3 in the Bible tells us that the scoffers in the last days would be "willingly ignorant" of: 1. The Creation, 2. The Flood and 3. The coming judgment. This book gives a brief overview of the evidence supporting the biblical view of the creation and the flood and gives an easy to understand explanation of what the Bible teaches about the coming tribulation time, the rapture of the believers, the time of God's wrath, the battle of Armageddon and end of the world. In addition there is a long section on "What should we do?" in light of what is coming. This information may be vital to keep many from "falling away" as predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.

Excerpts from the book: I believe that we are truly going to impact the earth by moving into this next "dimension" in God, foreshadowed by the Feast of Tabernacles and the Holy of Holies. In this next "dimension" you find that there is really only ONE "dimension." Friend, the next "dimension" in God includes, encompasses and supersedes all previous "dimensions." ********************* We are not merely believing something ABOUT Him... We are believing INTO His nature. Do you see the difference there? Religion teaches us to believe certain things ABOUT certain things. Relationship calls us to experience the "thing" we have believed. To just believe something ABOUT Him, we can remain separate, apart and objective. To believe INTO His name, His nature thrusts us entirely into Him! To believe INTO His name means we are joined, united and subjective. ********************* Let us agree, align and advance into His Rest... Let us move from the place of parables to the place of demonstration, with a sent-one mentality... Let's leave old mentalities, take nothing for our journey... And let us depart on this journey preaching the gospel, and healing every where!

We all know that during the time of Jesus, God had direct dealings with the Jews only, and as a result, Jesus had confrontations with the Pharisees, Scribes and the teachers. But today, the Lord is dealing with the Church which includes every individual, be it Jew or Gentile that puts his faith in Jesus Christ. This handbook of the Gospel according to Matthew is the write-up from a disciple who walked with Jesus while He was on this earth. As you go through His teachings, you will come to the realization that Jesus Christ is indeed the Prince of Peace. He cares so much for His creation to the extent that all His teachings promote love, peace, forgiveness, and harmony among one another, and also He proved His deity as God because most of the predictions he made happened exactly as He pronounced them, therefore, His promises are yea and amen. What the Lord requires is repentance and total obedience to His word. Take your time and read this book over and over again until it becomes part of you, and also let us make a conscious effort to make being part of the soon-coming Kingdom a priority because the time is nearer than we presume. Let's prayerfully ask the Lord to help us live according to His Word, and by so doing, we all will have the assurance of His salvation as we believe in Him and continue to do His will. God richly bless us all. One of the characteristics of God is that He does whatever He says. He honors those who honor Him and does not force His will on anyone. Men are free moral agents and can do whatever please them. Grasping and doing God's will has always been a problem. The worst problem in our generation is that we have no time to study the Bible and know God's mind and do His will. We will pay dearly for our ignorance. It is therefore worthwhile to be careful studying His word, knowing His will and obeying it.

Paradise is not a place ... it's a frame of mind. Paradise is found when a soul discovers inner peace within and unconditional love for others. In my search for Paradise, I uncovered untold mysteries about myself and the world around me. It is forever changing and evolving.
