The Last Trumpet Call! Which City Will You Serve?

According to Scripture, man is sown a natural body and its seed (Human wisdom). Where there is a natural body, there is a spiritual body and its seed (Holy Spirit). Our natural body (mind) must die to receive our spiritual body. If we don’t let go of our natural body, we can’t receive or inherit our spiritual body, the promised glorified body. We must give up our natural understanding of the world and begin to see, trust, and walk in the spirit, IN CHRIST. In Christ, we know all truth in the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Prophecy. We know what Jesus loves and what He hates. Repentance means we change our mind and begin to love what Jesus loves and we hate what Jesus hates. Jesus loves Jerusalem.

1 Corinthians 15:50-57 "Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

GET HONEST WITH YOURSELF FAST: Which city do you serve now, Babylon or Jerusalem? Are you willing to repent, ask forgiveness, and radically change your allegiance? Are you prepared to join in the Great Commission and spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

When we BELIEVE the SCRIPTURES, we become aware and begin to embrace and celebrate all God's promises fulfilled through Jesus. JESUS HAS PROMISED HIS BRIDE HIS ABUNDANT LIFE IN THE MILLENNIAL REIGN—I receive it in Jesus' name! Are you willing to come out of Babylon?

Revelation 17:1-6 "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.' And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.' And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly."

We first must let go of this life (Babylon). We have to die to this world, deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and by Grace, follow Jesus. Otherwise, we will not be raptured. Like the foolish virgins, we will miss the wedding. That is sad, very sad.

After the WEDDING FEAST at the Father’s house in Heaven, we will return to earth with King Jesus in His second coming to reign with Him as promised. Unfortunately, until the rapture happens, we are promised suffering and lots of it. We are called to persevere and to endure by Grace.

Daniel 1:1-2 "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of BABYLON came to JERUSALEM and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god."

Today we are discussing the choice between TWO CITIES. As we look at the world and our place in it, our mission as CHILDREN OF GOD, is to believe the word of God and seek Him in prayer to do His will. We are to seek His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

John 10:14-16 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."

As such, when we seek Jesus in the word, it is impossible not to see the tale of the two cities, Babylon and Jerusalem. THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS ABOUT THE STORY OF TWO CITIES. Jerusalem and Babylon are the two most important cities in the Bible, bar none. The Holy Scriptures prophesied that the world and everything in it would come down to two cities and two kings, Babylon or Jerusalem.

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the JEW, then to the GENTILE."

The Bible prophesied that in the end people will desire one city over the other. The world will stand with Israel, or against her. As American gentiles, we are to love what our Bridegroom loves. We are to love what Jesus loves–PERIOD. Jesus loves ISRAEL and JERUSALEM, and hates Babylon. What about you? Are you still on the fence?

Romans 9:1-5 "I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen."

BELIEVERS are the branches, and Jesus is the vine, and the Grace of the Holy Spirit flows through us. Without Jesus, WE ARE NOTHING. Jesus is the King of the Jews and His throne will be IN JERUSALEM. Jesus is the Head and we are His Body, we are His Gentile bride. Where do you think we will reside if Jesus is the King of Israel, and we are His Body? What does the word reveal?

Romans 11:1-2 "I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel?"

We are in the END TIMES, the LAST DAYS. The Bible calls BELIEVERS to come out of Babylon and to eagerly anticipate being raptured to be with Christ during the Great Tribulation on earth and to return with King Jesus, returning to earth in His second coming in the New Jerusalem. In the meantime, we are to BUILD UPON THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIST.

Revelation 21:2 And I saw the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

While we are gone, in Heaven celebrating the WEDDING, the world, including America, will go through the refiner's fire, which is the judgment. Here is the good news… we are promised that our work, Jesus’ work, built on the foundation of Christ, will remain through the fire. So, there is no excuse, LET’S KEEP SPREADING THE GOSPEL. As we eagerly await the RAPTURE, let us follow the Holy Spirit every minute of every day and continue to BUILD UPON THE ROCK. Let’s bring in 1 billion new followers of Jesus Christ before the rapture! Pray for it!

It is Really Simple: One Choice Between Two Cities

Two cities, choose this day; which one will you serve, Babylon or New Jerusalem? What does the Bible say? Which city do you prefer to live in FOR ETERNITY? Which city are you going to defend, love, and serve? My family and I belong to the Lord Jesus; He is our only King. According to the Word of God, we are children of God and citizens of Heaven, aliens to this world, and called to be Ambassadors of Christ to reconcile EVERYONE to the love of God.

Matthew 23:37-39 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’"

As the cosmic war in heaven spills out on earth, as prophesied in the Bible, BELIEVERS, those virgins who are promised to be married to Jesus are promised to be kept from the wrath of God that is to come.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 "For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come."

BEFORE GOING TO WAR, EVERY NATION RECALLS THEIR AMBASSADORS TO RETURN HOME BEFORE THE WAR BEGINS.

Philippians 2:11, 13, 15 "and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father...for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure...so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,"

As ambassadors and citizens of Heaven, as the Bride of Christ, we are being recalled to return home because the war on earth is about to begin.

Luke 19:41-44 "As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, 'If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.'"

As promised in the Scriptures, the whole world, including Israel, will receive judgment upon the earth. During that time, the Bride and the Bridegroom will be celebrating a wedding in Heaven.

Revelation 3:10 "Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."

According to the Bible, the Bride of Christ will be RAPTURED, to be caught up in the air to be with Jesus, to attend the WEDDING of ALL WEDDINGS, and to AVOID the wrath that is to come upon the whole earth.

Zechariah 8:2-3 "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.' This is what the Lord says: 'I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City, and the mountain of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.'"

THINK… we are enjoying and celebrating the WEDDING OF ALL WEDDINGS, meanwhile, on the earth the world is going through the time of Jacob’s TROUBLE. It’s not good! On earth, while the Bridegroom and Bride are enjoying the seven days (years) of wedding celebration, the Jews and Jerusalem will be joining all the nations as they go through the refiner's fire–THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

Zechariah 2:8 "For this is what the Lord Almighty says: 'After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.'"

After the Rapture, time is up. This will be it for the Jews. This is their last chance. This is the last chance for everyone. As promised, coming out of this tribulation, many Jews (the elect) will be righteous, robbed in the righteousness of Jesus, dipped in His blood.

Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son."

Scriptures state that the Bride of Christ will be coming with King Jesus as He returns to the earth (His second coming). Jesus will come back and end the war on earth. Jesus will begin to reign and rule as He separates the Sheep nations from the goat nations. Those people and nations that choose New York City (or any nation or city) over Jerusalem will be named goats and will go to Jesus’ left to be destroyed and thrown in the lake of fire with the devil and his angels. In the meantime, King Jesus will place on his right those who loved Israel and supported Jerusalem and her people. THEY BE SHEEP!

Jeremiah 31:3 "The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.'"

Which city do you want to reside in, the New Jerusalem or any other city on earth? Seriously, you are asked to CHOOSE THIS DAY. Once you know there is a choice, you must choose. DO NOT HESITATE. DO NOT HOLD ON TO BABYLON OR ANYTHING FROM OR IN BABYLON. Remember Lot’s wife? She turned around and was made into a pillar of salt.

Isaiah 49:14-16 "But Zion said, 'The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.' 'Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.'"

In the coming days and weeks, there will be NO MIXTURE. During His days on earth, Jesus drove the money changers and merchants out of the Temple of God TWICE. The days of Ananias and Sapphire are upon us. There will be no mixture; either you serve Babylon (wealth, money, 401ks) or you serve King Jesus as citizens of Heaven. NO MIXTURE!

Acts 5:1-16 "But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it. The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him. Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?” And she said, “Yes, that was the price.” Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things. At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico. But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem. And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number, to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them. Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed."

I came out of Babylon, and I am taking as many people as possible with me. I am a citizen of Heaven, and that makes me a citizen of New Jerusalem. I have chosen Jerusalem over New York City (Mystery Babylon).

Matthew 21:10-13 "When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.” And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And He *said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a robbers’ den.”

I SERVE Jerusalem, and I won’t be mourning over the loss of Mystery Babylon, I will be rejoicing, for I am a citizen of Heaven and my loyalties are with King Jesus alone.

Isaiah 43:1-4 "But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.'"

I am not against America. I am not against the United States. I love America, and I am very thankful to have been born here. I love being an American who BELIEVES THE BIBLE. I believe every word. I have a clear mandate IN CHRIST.

Deuteronomy 7:7-8 "The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt."

I am a citizen of Heaven and I reside in the United States by His Grace. My priorities are to serve my King Jesus and His Kingdom as His Ambassador to the United States. My allegiance is to Jesus and His Kingdom. I love what He loves, and hate what He hates. I love Israel, and I love Jerusalem and my Jewish brothers and sisters.

Isaiah 41:8-10 "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I do not think America can be great again until after the Tribulation, when we begin anew under King Jesus’ 1,000-year millennium reign.

In the meantime, America, New York City, and everyone who misses the rapture will have a judgment to undergo —a major correction of epic proportions—the refiners' fire.

As promised in the Word of God, Mystery Babylon, America, and New York City will experience the refiner's fire, PRAISE GOD. Come out of her before it’s too late!

Jeremiah 50:1-3 "The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet: 'Declare among the nations and proclaim, set up a banner and proclaim, conceal it not, and say: “Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.” For out of the north a nation has come up against her, which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; both man and beast shall flee away.'"

We are called to COME OUT OF HER. For those who don’t, you will go through the fire. The good news is that America as a nation will come out of the Great Tribulation ready to receive the Kingdom of God and all His glory.

Jeremiah 51:6-7 "Flee from the midst of Babylon; let everyone save his life! Be not cut off in her punishment, for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance, the repayment he is rendering her. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine; therefore the nations went mad."

Today our job is to keep our eyes on Jesus and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His coming Kingdom. Let’s bring in 1 Billion new believers before the RAPTURE, which is imminent.

Revelation 14:8 "Another angel, a second, followed, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.'"

Jesus calls you to choose between two cities: Babylon or the Holy City, Jerusalem. As children of God saved by grace, we must follow Jesus, love what He loves, and hate what He hates.

Revelation 17:1-6 "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.' And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.' And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly."

Jesus, who created all things and gave us life, loves Jerusalem, where He will reign as King. As His bride, we are citizens of Heaven, called to be His ambassadors on Earth, spreading the Gospel and preparing for His return.

Revelation 18:1-3 "After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.'"

God's sovereignty determines all kingdoms and boundaries, and He uses cities and nations to fulfill His purposes. In these end times, we must choose to serve and defend Jerusalem, by rejecting the ways of Babylon.

Revelation 18:9-10 "And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, 'Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.'"

Let us build on the foundation of Christ, anticipating the Rapture, and bringing as many souls to salvation as possible. Our allegiance is to Jesus alone; our eternal home is the New Jerusalem. Choose this day whom you will serve.

Revelation 18:21 "Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more.'"

Choose This Day, the City and Nation you will defend and die for!
