THE PROPHECY OF THE HORSELEACH

“The Horseleach hath two daughters, crying Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, it is enough” (Proverbs 30:15).

It would be hard to find a verse in the Bible that has been stretched to the exegetical breaking point more than Proverbs 30:15. It’s cryptic reference to the “horseleach” is usually seen as an antiquated reference to some Middle Eastern animal so lost in the mists of time that we can never really know what it is. Either that, or it is seen as a metaphor for the sucking of blood (or life) out of a human being. But who or what is performing this unseemly activity? And who are the two daughters? What are they asking for? As we look into the answers to these questions, we shall find that it is both illuminating and exciting. For, in fact, the thirtieth chapter of Proverbs is a prophecy that throws a special light on the last days. What’s more, it meshes perfectly with the last days prophecies found in the New Testament.

The book of Proverbs is far more than a homiletical collection of wise sayings, or a commentary on Solomon’s life experiences. It is far richer than a mere compendium of lectures on moral conduct. It’s interpretations are complex, with developmental streams that run completely through the book. Entire chapters are devoted to a single theme. They are meant to instruct the “young man” (1:4) in the dark and decadent ways of the world. They are also meant to impart wisdom. But wisdom is far more than surface fact. It runs at many depths. At it’s deepest, it courses through the vale of mystery. This book requires much study and leading of the Holy Spirit. It dwells in the realms of enigma. The stated goal of the book is clear:

“To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings” (1:6).

These “dark sayings“ are the hidden teachings that lie buried beneath the surface of the text’s obvious language. And such is the prophecy of the “horseleach” found in chapter 30.

WHO IS AGUR?

This chapter opens with a reference so veiled that it’s true meaning is open to a great deal of speculation. It begins:

“The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal.”

Only one thing is certain here. Namely, that we are to view this chapter as a prophecy, from the Hebrew word “massah, “burden, oracle or prophecy.” But the four proper names in the verse are absolutely isolated and unknown. Thus, the prophecy is written by an unknown man, who is the son of an unknown man, and is addressed to two men who are again, unknown. Many expositors have expressed the belief that we are dealing here with “code words.” Agur, for example, means “the gatherer.” Jakeh means “the obedient.” Ithiel and Ucal, respectively, mean “there is a God,” and “I have made an end,” or “I have withdrawn.” Down through the years, it has been written that the name Agur may be a veiled reference to Solomon himself. Jakeh, then, would refer to Solomon’s father David. Thus the prophecy begins with an implied message. Solomon, the gatherer or compiler of wisdom, who is the son of the obedient David, present a prophecy. It is offered in the knowledge that there is a God and it ends with a name that implies termination or closure. The statement says something like …

“Solomon, the gatherer, son of the obedient, delivers a prophetic oracle; there is a God and in him are all matters concluded.”

In verses 2 through 10 – prologue to the actual prophecy – the gatherer apologizes for his lack of wisdom and pays homage to the great and sovereign God.

AN EVIL GENERATION

The prophecy itself begins with four references to “an age or generation of men.” The Hebrew word “dor” carries this meaning. All four times, it is coupled with the qualities of the generation in question, making it clear that the prophecy is aimed at an ultimately self-destructive age. This word also contains the meaning of generational cycles that come and go like revolutions around a circle. The context of the prophecy seems to indicate a time period that modern students of Bible prophecy have variously labeled the last, final or terminal generation.

“There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their own filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men” (11-14).

The generation in question is operating outside all the bounds of good sense, or even sanity. It curses the very parents who gave it life, love and support. It is utterly self-absorbed, believing in “doing it’s own thing.” This generation operates on the premise that there is no right or wrong. Anything that one deems pure is automatically pure. It is steeped in decadence, but believing itself to be alright. It is a generation known by it’s impudence. It believes itself to be intelligent, insightful and wise. It’s eyes are the eyes of avarice, covetousness and unabashed pride. This is the generation “without excuse,” described by Paul in the book of Romans:

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:21-22).

A generation that thinks itself wise, yet independent of God, becomes obsessed with creating a utopian socialist “perfect” society. This is the vision of Marxism and social democracy which, in it’s pride, thinks that it can redistribute the world’s wealth. Thus, it believes that it can create a blessed environment that will foster the blessed man. This is the generation with “lofty eyes” that believes in it’s own twisted vision. Finally, this generation is seen devouring itself with it’s own sharp teeth. It is an interesting fact that Marxist, National Socialist and Maoist economic states are notorious for having killed more of their own citizens than any other societies in history. Russia, for example, is said to have exterminated up to sixty million of it’s own citizens in various purges. China, under Mao, killed about forty million of it’s own. In particular, they sought out and assassinated Christians. Hitler’s regime is said to have slain more than twelve million Germans. These are only three examples of many similar cases. Truly, this final barbaric generation has knife-like teeth, cannibalistically devouring any who would stand in the way of it’s master plan.

As a side note, it is also steeped in occultism. Furthermore, it devours the poor and the needy. This prophecy flows quite naturally into a similar New Testament prophecy of the last days. The oracle against the “rich men” in James, chapter 5, condemns the barons of power, denouncing the gold and silver of their hoard. It declares that they have created and profited from an impoverished underclass of the perennially poor and needy …

“Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth” (James 5:4).

Here, James assures the faithful that greedy men of power will be judged by the Lord in his power. The final generation in Proverbs 30 is condemned fourfold. It is known by it’s warped ideas. They work to the detriment of the ordinary citizen, producing a misery that cannot be relieved, short of the Lord’s return.

THE LEECH AS BLOODSUCKER

This horrific picture of a generation gone wrong can be clearly seen in our twentieth and early twenty-first century world. But if this generational picture has so far been well defined, it becomes even clearer in the light of verse 15. This is the essence of the prophecy; and it’s image is razor sharp.

“The horseleach hath two daughters, crying Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, it is enough”

As earlier stated, many have looked in vain for the answer to this cryptic verse. Certainly, the leech is well known as a bloodsucker. And, in fact, the Hebrew word translated “horseleach” is commonly used to describe this tiny animal. Perhaps then, the leech is used as an illustration of a decadent, bloodsucking generation. But why would “two daughters” be figured and used to describe the leech’s mouth? In fact, leeches do have two suckers – one at each end – which they use to attach themselves to their victims. Then, they efficiently use them to suck blood from their host. Large leeches can grow to eight inches in length. They were once commonly used to withdraw blood from the sick in the belief that an excess of blood contributed to various conditions of disease. Also, leeches were once considered a great pest among horses, who would pick them up when they waded through ponds and shallows. Hence, they gained an evil reputation for insatiability. They came to symbolize the voracious, and that which would suck the life out of any living creature. How appropriate then that this symbol would be associated with the rapacious generation of the lost and the apostate. This is the generation of which Paul wrote in the book of 2 Timothy when he penned the following words under the divine inspiration and supernatural leading of the Holy Spirit:

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:2-4).

THE LEECH AS DEMON

The meaning of the horseleach cannot be fully realized without understanding it’s basic meaning in the Hebrew language. For here, we find that it’s name is “aluka.” In both ancient and modern Hebrew, aluka is a night demon. Usually, this evil creature is depicted as a female demon or monster. That this demon would be given the name of the leech is, in itself, an interesting commentary. The leech, with it’s two suckers, presents an image that is all too familiar. It is the figure of the vampire, built upon ages of human experience, in which hapless victims are plagued through the night by a demon spirit who comes to suck the very soul from a man. In popular literature, it’s hypnotic gaze saps the victim’s power, and it’s two fangs sink deep into the neck to drink the ritual blood. That having been accomplished, the victim becomes a thrall – a zombie in the world of the living dead. Supposedly, immortality is conferred upon the recipient of the action. But it is a horrible, furtive, dark and cursed immortality. Shall we say that the victim is possessed?

Down through the ages, details change, but the factual basis remains constant. For the last couple of hundred years, the representation of the vampire has become masculine. But in the stories of the Middle East, she remains a woman. In the territories where the pagan and the demonic predominate, such fiendish activities are regularly documented. Invading and possessing demons are thought to be quite real. Where their activities are encouraged by various eastern and tribal religions, practitioners live in constant fear of the demons of the night. In our hemisphere, perhaps the most commonly known religion of this type is voodoo. But there are many, many others. The night demon figures prominently in each of them. Some would say that such stories are mere myth, fired by childish imaginations. Others would say that they have actually experienced such things. However, it is a certainty that demons are real. In recent years, there have been multiple documentary television shows that portray the real life experiences of people encountering demonic activity in their houses and other haunted places. It is becoming a common thing to see such documentary evidence portrayed.

During his lifetime, Jesus dealt with them as real and living creatures who regularly inhabited and controlled the lives of their victims. But note that aluka is definitely an historical entity – a demon. In their commentary on Proverbs, Keil and Delitzsch note “Aluka, from it’s nearest signification, denotes a demoniacal spirit of the character of a vampire, like the Dakini of the Indians, which nourish themselves on human flesh; the ghouls of the Arabs and Persians which inhabit graveyards, and kill and eat men, particularly wanderers in the desert; in regard to which it is to be remarked that (Arabian) awlak is indeed a name for a demon, and that al ‘awlak, according to the Kamus, is used in the sense of “alghwal.” Their use of this latter word carries the use of the word carries the meaning of “demon.” Furthermore, it seems a certainty that this monster is one of the “principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world” that are mentioned in Ephesians 6:12. That being the case, we must attempt to fully explain the metaphor of Proverbs 30:15.

Who are aluka’s two daughters? Certainly, they depict the leech’s two suckers. But why daughters? If alukah is a demon, might these daughters be symbolic of demonism in general? If so, they would represent the feminine principle of apostate, demonic religion. Then, the female demon and her two daughters could explain pagan religion’s preoccupation with the goddess.

FERTILITY AND WISDOM

Certainly, in the decadent cultures of the West, the goddess has always played a great part in shaping the life of any given culture. In the New Testament, the best-known goddess is “Diana of the Ephesians,” seen in the 19th chapter of Acts. And so, when Paul performed mighty miracles in Ephesus, his actions were deemed a direct threat to the goddess that fueled their local economy. A riot ensued, showing the utter enslavement of the people to their goddess. The Greeks and Romans also had their masculine gods – Hercules, Zeus (or Jupiter), Apollo and the rest. However, they didn’t worship them directly. Rather, they built local temples for the celestial mates of these demigods: the goddesses. These superwomen became the local patron deities. Their roles fulfilled two general categories: fertility and wisdom. In the days of the Apostles, Diana was the most important of the first category. Diana is the Latin name for the Greek goddess “Artemis,” the goddess of fertility. She is the same as “Ishtar” of Babylon and Assyria. Likewise, she is the Isis of the Egyptians.

Within the pagan societies who worshipped her, she was thought to bring blessing to crops, livestock and expectant parents. She was also the protector of the municipality who was thought to bring blessing to the local economy. For two millennia – from the days of Abraham to Christ- she reigned supreme, accompanied by a retinue of adherents and priestesses. Temple prostitutes, as well as young women who acted as trance mediums, were thought to bring messages from the gods for anxious followers. All they got, however, were the doctrines of demons who kept them permanently enslaved. In the second category were the wisdom goddesses. The Greeks recognized one of them as “Athena,” the patron goddess of Athens. She was the guide and protectoress of the city. The Romans worshipped “Minerva,” the civic goddess of protection, who would bring great leadership and intelligence to the community. Both cultures pictured her as a woman with weaponry, who wore a symbolic helmet of protection. In her many forms, she was the goddess who assured that the citizens of a community would retain their liberty.

Another wisdom goddess of the Romans was associated with money and banking. She was “Juno,” whose temple-banks were the foundation of what would later become a global banking complex. She was thought to bring warning to a community if something evil was about to befall it. On Rome’s Capitoline Hill, a temple to Juno commemorated her protective powers. Called Juno Moneta, from the Latin moneo, “to warn,” her name was gradually modified into our word “money.” The dual roles of the goddess (fertility and wisdom) are none other than those found in Revelation 17, in the description of “MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Revelation 17:5). She is the final form of the goddess. Originally, she was Ishtar, Isis, Artemis, Diana, Athena, Minerva and Europa, the embodiment of procreative power and intelligence. In her dual roles as bringer of fertility and wisdom, she cries, “Give, give.” She is insatiable, finally consuming the whole world with her avarice. She has always been intertwined with the mercantile activities of the world, so that global finance is inseparable from the secret, occultic societies seeking to create a New World Order. At it’s heart is a Satanic conspiracy.

DEMONS TO BE RELEASED

But it is more. In it’s final form, it will foster what the bible calls the “man of sin” (2 Thessalonians 2:3), commonly called and known as the “Antichrist.” who will lead the nations with “all power and signs and lying wonders” (2:9). The apostate generation alive in that day will be deceived:

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (2:11).

Aluka and her daughters present the strong image of a world gone mad in false worship and subsequent demonic invasion. In that day, the souls of men will be tormented in an onslaught of demonic activity, just as they were in the days of Noah, when the twisted power of fallen angels brought man so low that God judged the world with a flood. It is the belief of many, that as the day of judgment approaches, demonic activity will rapidly increase. Today, we are seeing exactly that … a preview of things shortly to come. In fact, the night demon has taken on a new form, designed to convince the technological generation that it is being visited by higher life forms. Think for a moment about the ancient night demon in her new context: the abducting visitor from outer space.

GRAYS IN THE NIGHT

By now, the world is completely familiar with the ghastly UFO abduction phenomenon. Christians consider the subject a clear-cut case of demonic activity. In virtually every aspect, the night visitors of UFO lore act out the behavior of the incubus, the succubus, the vampire, the ghoul, or some combination of their traits. They usually come at night while their victim is sleeping. At first, they appear as figures in shadow, whose very touch sends their victims into a nightmarish paralytic trance. Then, the hapless sleepers are whisked away into another reality, where they are mentally and physically probed. Every sense of objective reality is stripped from them. Time, itself, is lost. A two-hour visit may seem to take five minutes, or vice-versa. The evil visitors may even have the ability to wipe out all memory of the event. When recall is finally accomplished, horrendous stories of little grey men with huge black eyes dominate the narrative. The night demons have come. Similar encounters are recorded as far back through history as one cares to look. Prior to the space age, they took the form of evil spirits in fiery chariots, or flying shields (such was their appearance to the troops of Alexander the Great). In the last century, they posed as “Orientals” traveling around the world in “airships.” In this way, they were accepted as “normal,” within the context of contemporary thought.

Today, mankind is primed for the appearance of “extraterrestrials.” or men from other worlds. Our great optical telescopes peer into the rich starfields to find some sign of their planets. Our radio telescopes strain to catch the slightest crackle from their long-distance communications. Project SETI (The Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has even received government funding. We are being told that contact with aliens from other worlds would be the most important event in the history of man. The hoards of Satan are simply giving mankind what it wants. Since 1947, with it’s first “flying saucer” report, these meetings with aliens have been carefully orchestrated to produce an aura of reality. Their technique is to maintain enough of a presence for belief, coupled with a passionate secrecy. Stories of airline encounters, recovered crashes with bodies, group sightings and tantalizing photos have given way to movies and books that feature the astounding stories of multiple abductions.

Jacques Vallee, a computer scientist and UFO researcher, stated that his figures indicated a minimum abduction rate of 100,000 cases per year worldwide. Perhaps the most famous abductee is Whitley Strieber, whose famous book Communion, documented a series of abductions that began in December of 1985. Who has not gazed into the abysmal black eyes of the alien on the cover of his book and wondered if she is real? Yes, a she. Mr. Strieber wrote that his abductress was female. In fact, he described her as having the large eyes of the ancient goddesses. He writes,

“I’d had a very distinct impression of her, that she was old. Not just aged, like an elderly person, but really old. Why had I felt this? I could not be sure. I still remember her voice, soft, coming from I know not where answering me: ‘Yes, I’m old.”

He likened her voice to a deep bass, echoing within a cave. He protested when she and others operated on his body without his permission, saying, “You have no right.” Her answer startled him … “We do have a right.” Five enormous words. Stunning words. We do have a right. Who gave it to them? Neither in this account, nor in the two books that follow, does Mr. Strieber have any idea of what right they have to use him and others in any way that they please. That right, of course, is based upon the fact that before one is “born again,” he or she belongs – body and soul – to Satan (see the two sections at the end of this article titled “YOUR ESCAPE FROM THE APPROACHING DEMONIC HELL ON EARTH” and “THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND YOU: WHAT YOU MUST DO TO RECEIVE IT”).

His next book, called Transformation, used a close-up picture of the same alien face on the cover. Even more strongly than in the first book. It documents a continuing series of abductions, with graphic accounts of his reeling efforts to make some sense of his entrapment …

“I have been in anguish many, many times, immersed in the fury of their malevolence, feeling them as a kind of tremendous, overwhelming superconsciousness that saps all sense of self control.”

As the title implies, he claims to have had a life-changing experience with superior beings. But there is no joy in it. His stories are riddled with fear, pain, soul searching and hopelessness. It is plain that Mr. Strieber is in the hands of alukah and her daughters. He is stalked by the night demon and her daughters, who, leechlike, would suck the very life from him. They cry, “Give, give.” They are insatiable, and their goal is to draw men into the same state of living death that characterizes their own miserable existence. The female vampire of ancient days has simply cleaned up her image to meet the expectations of a modern man … and he is not alone. He claims to have received 140,000 letters in response to his first book, alone. People wanted him to know that they, too, had shared his experience.

Even a Harvard Psychiatrist, John E. Mack, MD, has published a book on UFO abductions. He claims to have interviewed over 100 individuals who were the victims of alien encounters. To him, their testimony currently effects the very foundation of human thought, in the same way as Copernicus ‘ proof that the earth is not the center of the universe. He, too, sees mankind as in the process of radical “transformation.” His book details the abduction histories of five individuals, each as normal as your next-door neighbor. He and others state that the aliens’ purpose is to create a new human/alien hybrid species. For what purpose is not precisely known. But Jesus’ own prophecy in Matthew 24:37 says quite enough:

“But as the days of Noe were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.”

Noah’s days were besieged by the rampant despotism of fallen angels and their demonic hoards. Their goal seems to have been the creation of a “superman.” It appears that through genetic manipulation, they intended to create a dominant race.

THE NEW AGE INCANTATION

It is no accident that this is the very heart and core of New Age religious thought. New Agers teach that superior entities from on high are on the verge of creating a “new man.” There will be a massive “paradigm change,” or radical alteration of human thought. They say that the “space brothers” who have directed man’s evolutionary growth are now returning to finish their work. This belief is repeated so often that it has become a kind of incantation. It is curious that in a recent edition of a well-known New Age magazine, there were no fewer than 25 pages dedicated to this theme. It seems that the space brothers in their UFOs are about to make their appearance. The magazines are trance-channeled. That is, they come through spirit mediums (condemned in Deuteronomy 18:10-11, bringing the voices of the “ascended masters.” Their titles are interesting, beginning with, “The Rapture/Ascension,” explaining how hovering motherships will remove certain persons from the planet. Certain “spiritual teachers” will be left behind to cleanse the earth.

Another fascinating title is “Life in Telos,” featuring a trance-channeled interview with Adama, master of a subterranean community beneath Mt. Shasta. He is part of the Ashtar Command, who, with their special spaceships, will, at the proper time, evacuate planet earth. A third article is entitled “We are the Cassiopaeans.” These supposed extraterrestrials warn the spiritually aware that they must be on guard against certain “lizard beings,” and their projected slaves, the little grays, with their huge black eyes. These are the abductors who wish to enslave humanity. They warn of an invading force soon to come. When written, the time frame given was “within four to six years.”

Yet another message came from “Commander Apollo.” Titled, “The Golden Crysolis,” it details the huge command center that controls the Atlantean starships. Apollo says, “The Crysolis can quarter 10,000 entities, but we are, at present, carrying only 6,000. The implication is that it will soon use all the space it has, lodging those beamed up from earth before the coming catastrophe.

Still another communication comes from “Jaymeny,” in “Arrival on a Mothership.” It features details concerning a “mothership” from the Pleiadian fleets.” In the accompanying, “Receiving the Arcturian Frequency,” one is urged to learn how to tune into the spaceship of Arcturus by “raising oneself to a higher frequency.”

These six articles are but a tiny sampling of the current flood of New Age propaganda. All of their literature is clustered around two main areas of thought. First, the old religions of the world must die, to be replaced by the true religion: the worship of the goddess. Of course, we know who she is. And second, the “ascended masters” in their saucer-shaped spaceships are man’s creators and perfectors. The story goes that in ancient days, they caused man to rise from the breeding stock of the apes and to move through life toward spiritual perfection. They have now returned to see the end of their work. From time to time, we glimpse their ships in our atmosphere. Some are military aircraft reverse engineered from the gain of demonic influences (think the Roswell incident in the 1940s). Some are actual manifestations of demons in their craft. There is much evidence to suggest that our nation is in contact with these beings and actively working with them. This Satanic propaganda is churned out in an endless stream. New Agers are literally welcoming demons as their saviors.

THE HAPLESS GENERATION

The entirety of Proverbs 30 deals with the hapless last generation. It begins with foolish pride, then opens itself to a demonic invasion. Today, aluka and her daughters run amok. They pillage the ignorant, crying out for more and more. Like the leech, they have an incredible appetite for blood – and especially, the souls of men. Though they disguise themselves as a force of saviors from on high, they are really the vanguard of a hostile force. Proverbs 30:16 likens them to the grave, the childless woman, a drought-ravaged earth and a fire out of control. The generation that sees itself as intelligent while demonstrating the most abject foolishness is doomed. It has abandoned the laws of cause and effect, denying that there will ever be any accountability for it’s actions. It has also relinquished logic, preferring to live in the false glow of emotion, as it contemplates the coming New Age. It seems very likely that this prophesied generation is the very same one that was mentioned by Jesus, as he taught about the “great tribulation” and his second coming. In Matthew 24:33 and 34, He said:

“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

Solomon foresaw this evil and deluded generation with amazing clarity. It was a divinely and supernaturally ordained sight that he was commissioned to reveal to those of us who would live to see the reality of what he wrote unfold. As mentioned earlier, Solomon’s prophecy of the two daughters presents us with a feminine theme that directly ties into the substance of the now rising MYSTERY BABYLON New World Order system (see article here titled “MASS CORONAVIRUS OCCULT RITUAL AND THE RISE OF MYSTERY BABYLON”).

This is a system heavily infused, and directly controlled by demonic entities/fallen angels. It is a system that has direct control of our politicians who are selling out their respective country’s citizenry to these evil beings in service to this Babylon system. Some intelligence sources have reportedly revealed that they are “making deals” with these entities in order to save their own skin while inflicting death and the destruction of the human race at the behest of these very entities.

There are a number of passages in the book of Solomon that infuse this current reality and world situation that we all find ourselves in with feminine language and symbolism associated with demonic activity (see here “The Fallen Angel Agenda“). The prophecy of the Horseleach is now taking on an ominous prophetic turn since the start of the year 2020 and the emergence of the mass Coronavirus occult ritual.

Indeed, Solomon saw what we are now witnessing. His ominous prophecy is now at our doorstep.

YOUR ESCAPE FROM THE APPROACHING DEMONIC HELL ON EARTH

The demonstratably divinely inspired text that we call the Bible promises a coming horrendous seven-year Tribulation period of judgment upon Earth for all of mankind, no matter what your religion, belief or creed is, and even to those who don’t believe anything spiritual at all. In this approaching time of judgment, it is certain that the bottomless pit will indeed be opened as Revelation declares it will be. We can now clearly see the signs of this approaching nightmare. However, this same divinely inspired text that we call the Bible promises an escape from this horrendous time of judgment only to a certain category of people …

“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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:8-9).

Put simply, an event is coming that will be so stupendous that it strains the mind to contemplate such an event happening. It is an event that will see millions upon millions of people across the globe suddenly disappear without warning. The millions of disappeared will have literally ascended into Heaven itself after instantaneously receiving a new glorified body fit for Heaven. A body that will be able to withstand the atmosphere and glory of Heaven. This event is known as the “Rapture.” But the promise of escape is only to those who are “born again” in Christ. This is why it is crucial to understand what Christ meant when he declared in no uncertain terms that only those who are “born again” in him will enter the Kingdom of God. For the explanation of this, keep reading below.

THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND YOU: WHAT YOU MUST DO TO RECEIVE IT

In order to accept the offer of God’s grace and his salvation, you must take the crucial three steps of …

1. Agreeing – A belief and agreeing with God in all that he says in his word, the Bible, about the fact that you are separated from God, as every man and woman on the face of the earth are before accepting his salvation. The Bible reveals that all are separated from him in a spiritual state of death, or said another way that the Bible reveals it, in a state of sin, that will result in damnation in the afterlife. Agreeing with God in your heart that you are in need of his salvation. The Bible reveals that God looks upon the heart of a man or woman, and thus, responds accordingly to the person who comes to him for salvation in recognition of his inability to save himself. The Bible makes these facts very clear – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). The Bible describes these three kinds of death:

physical death (the state experienced when life leaves our bodies).

spiritual death (spiritual separation from God caused by our state of spiritual death inherited from the first man Adam – the state of sin that results in our daily outward acts of sin, whether deliberate or not, whether omissive or not; and finally …

the second death (the fixed state entered into by the individual who dies physically while he or she is dead spiritually). This state is entered into after the death of the body which results in punishment in the afterlife until the event of the Great White Throne Judgment occurs wherein the damned are resurrected from Hades, or Hell, and are judged according to their works and finally destroyed and cease to exist after being cast into the Lake of Fire. Revelation 14 refers to this tragic end of the unsaved as the “Second Death” (verse 14). It is this state of suffering entered into after physical death and then final destruction at the Great White Throne Judgment in particular which is the horrible result of receiving the wages of sin (unforgiven due to unbelief and rejection of Christ). The Lord Jesus Christ frequently described such a death as being irrevocable in a destiny which he called Hell. He described Hell as a literal place of judgment (Matthew 13:42); a place of everlasting fire (Matthew 18:8); a place of torment (Luke 16:24,28); a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:50); a place of remorse (Mark 9:44-48); of bitter memory (Luke 16:25), and a place originally prepared for the Devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). In fact, Jesus more often warned about Hell than he spoke about Heaven.

It is not God’s will or desire that any person should be consigned to perish in Hell (2 Peter 3:9), but rather that all should come to repentance of unbelief toward him and believe on him for the salvation of the individual’s soul. But God’s justice requires that the “soul who sins” (remains in it’s state of death or state of sin) is the one who will die a second time after a long period of torment (Ezekiel 18:4). So, agree with God, admitting that you are unable to save yourself and in a state of sin under God’s just condemnation for that sin and that you are in need of his salvation.

2. Believing – Then, believe that God does not want you to perish eternally in the torment of Hell because of your sin. Believe that God loves you so much that he provided a way whereby he could still be a just, holy and righteous God, and yet pardon you. Believe that God did not just overlook sin, but that he sent his only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to provide salvation by personally paying the penalty for sin. Believe that Jesus Christ, whose life, death, burial and resurrection is the best-attested fact of antiquity, did come to earth to live, die, rise again and ascend to Heaven in order to provide justification and salvation for all who trust him. Believe that he, and he alone, can save you because he has fully satisfied the just demands of God. Believe that you can’t become righteous in God’s sight by your own effort. Believe that he wants to save you and that he will save you. The Bible provides a solid basis for such belief …

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).

“But God demonstrates his love toward us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

God presented him (Jesus Christ) as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished – he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies the man or woman who has faith in Jesus (Romans 3:25-26).

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures … ” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

“Jesus answered, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out [drive away]” (John 6:37).

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

3. Calling – It is not enough to agree with God, admit your need, and believe that Christ can and will save you. You must act upon those facts. God’s requirement is that you repent of your unbelief toward him and actively call upon him for the salvation of your soul based on the fact that you cannot save yourself. It is unbelief in particular that damns the soul to its horrible fate …

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18).

You must be willing to completely turn from your own efforts to save yourself or from any other hope. You must come to Christ, calling upon him for salvation and counting on the fact that he will do what he has promised. This means simply taking the gift of pardon and eternal life which he offers. Merely believing about Jesus Christ without coming to him makes as much sense and is as effective as believing that a medication can successfully treat a fatal disease, but failing to take it. Yet again, the Bible emphatically and authoritatively provides the basis for such statements.

The word translated “believe” here means to “rest one’s entire weight and trust on the object or person in which the belief is placed.” It requires action in keeping with the intellectual assent of that belief.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

” … but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

The logical question you may be asking at this point is: “how do I come to Christ and call upon him?” The answer is that “calling upon the Lord” is just another term for praying, or talking to God. To talk to God is not a complicated process, dependent upon some special rituals. God has invited people to approach him through his Son in simple, straightforward terms. In fact, Jesus approved of the dishonest, despised tax collector who simply prayed, “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” While the exact words of your prayer to God are not of vital importance (since God sees and knows the attitude of your heart), the following is the kind of prayer that you could pray in calling upon God for salvation …

“Dear Lord Jesus: I realize that I need you. I admit that I have sinned and that I deserve your just, eternal punishment for that sin. But I am sorry for my sin and I am turning to you and asking for forgiveness. I believe that you died and rose again to pay sin’s penalty on my behalf. I come to you and open my heart to you. I ask you to come into my life, forgive me for all of my sin and make me your child. I invite you to take control of my life and to cause me to be the kind of person you would have me to be. I thank you for doing this because you have promised that whosoever calls upon you, as I am doing now, shall be saved. I pray this in the name of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”

If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, I urge you to sincerely and genuinely express it to God as your prayer. The Bible makes clear that when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in our heart, God forgives our sins and counts us righteous, and that when we openly confess with our mouth what we have done in our heart, God gives us assurance of that salvation (Romans 10:9-10).

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:3-7).
