APOCALYPSE, RAPTURE, BABY OF BRAZIL, IVETE SANGALO… WHAT!!!

Nothing and no one can stop or prevent what is written in this book. Stay tuned! And if you want to know more, look for a Bible near to you.

God is known in the Holy Scriptures and throughout the history of humankind for using everything and everyone to do His will. Once, God used a donkey to say a message. God used unbelieving people to do what supposedly chosen people did not do. And recently, he used a situation to bring up the subject of the Apocalypse amid the Carnival.

I want to talk more about it because if the entire Bible was a movie, the genre of the Apocalypse would be “horror”. Because the Book of Revelation deals with the end of time, things that will inevitably happen. No matter what you do, what is written will happen. Throughout human history, the prophecies of the Bible have happened. So, God does not fail in His Word.

And that’s not because God is evil, on the contrary. He left it as a record for His servants so that people are not caught unprepared. Don’t you think it’s natural for a God of justice to do justice? And what is the Apocalypse? It’s God’s justice. And we, human beings, also have a sense of justice and ask ourselves: “My God, will this bad world be like this?” So, a God who is just serves justice. He will do justice to two groups of people: the saved ones (those who believed by faith in the Lord Jesus) and those who did not believe (insistently, purposely, deliberately turned their backs on God).

In this last Carnival, there was an episode in which a person held a sign with the words: “Jesus or hell?” And the crowd shouted: “Hell! Hell!” There are people who deliberately choose to be against God. So, what will God do in the Apocalypse? He’s going to separate the sheep from the goats. He’ll be doing nothing more than justice.

Many people are discouraged from reading the Book of Revelation because it is a text full of figurative language. But I suggest reading the book “The World Will Burn”, which explains verse by verse and correlates events of the Apocalypse with the current world. Check out the book if you want to understand the subject or have friends who wish to learn.

At the end of Revelation, the Lord Jesus speaks to the apostle John: “And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand” (Revelation 22:10).

In other words: “Don’t close the book. Everyone should read it because the end is near.”

Some say, “God is love” or “the Apocalypse will not happen”.

But God says: “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still” (Revelation 22:11).

This means each one continues to do what they have been doing. If you doubt what is written, follow the filth, and you will see the end.”

Some righteous people say: “I’m going to continue to be a fool doing justice?” God says: “Keep doing justice”.

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Revelation 22:12).

It’s accountability. Do you know the “we will set accounts” story? So, it’s going to happen. The question is whether it will come with the stamp of “paid” by the Lord Jesus or if it will arrive to be still paid (which will be paid with the person’s own life).

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie” (Revelation 22:13-15)

Scary, isn’t it? You haven’t seen anything yet. You can take refuge in the Lord of the Apocalypse. More information is in a Bible near you.

Think about it and check out the entire message in the video above.
