Roy’s Blog: “Our Hope”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7508

I Peter 1:3 (NASB) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

If you are not “born again” to a living hope, what do you have to look forward to? The same thing we’ve been seeing for several years-the chaos and delusion? One crisis after another with no hope to stop it? The acceptance of the control that is coming from the “Worldwide Reset”? Is that all you have to look forward to? It shouldn’t be!

God has presented us with a wonderful gift of mercy and a living hope through His Son Jesus Christ. We that are saved “born again” have to live in the world until Jesus calls us to be with Him, but we don’t have to be of the world. We are called to be set apart…a “peculiar people”. If you call yourself a Christian then act like it. I know it’s not “acceptable” to a lot of people today but that’s okay. Our hope is not in the people around us. They will fail you, but our Lord and Savior will never fail us.

Bible prophecy is about much more than the demonic activity we see today. It foretells what happens to the “Bride of Christ”, the “redeemed”. Hopefully, you are in that category. If not what is your hope? That the world will change? It won’t until Jesus returns, and then it will be too late for you.

Our hope for today, tomorrow, and eternity is in Christ; His presence, love, and care forever. He is our only hope!

Roy’s Blog: “”All Part of the Plan”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7503

Proverbs 19:21 (NASB) “Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.”

I learned a long time ago there are no coincidences. Everything that happens involves someone’s plan whether for good or bad. The elites of our world have been planning for a long time what we see today happening around the world. They must literally destroy western civilization to accomplish their purpose of a “New World Order”. Don’t think it’s going to go away. They are too close to their goal.

Behind the WEF (World Economic Forum) are the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rothchilds, major international banks (like Bank of America), BlackRock (that holds many people’s life savings), Goldman Sachs, Shell Oil, Chevron, and many others. All big-name businesses with lots of power (and having lots of people’s life-savings in their hands).

This realignment of world finance and “security” is using the “imminent” environmental crisis (which they invented) as their excuse for all they are doing. It’s for the “good” of the whole world. Their intention is to destroy nations and America is at the top of their list because it is still a nation of freedom, and they can’t have that if their “plans” are to work.

“Climate change” as a crisis is just a weapon in their arsenal. Climate changes all the time-it’s called weather! It goes through cycles. If it was all about a climate emergency, they would not be pandering to China so much, because they are the number one polluter in the world!

From the pandemic to the war in Ukraine to the banking crisis and the environment, the sequence of events is no coincidence. It’s all a part of the big “plan”, to reach their “Great Reset”. And that is where Proverbs 19:21 soothes our hearts and minds. God’s plan is the one that will prevail. Every time at every stage!

Roy’s Blog: “Amen”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7499

Revelation 1:7 (NASB) “Behold, He is coming with the clouds and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.”

It’s no wonder many people are asking, “How much longer before the Lord says, ‘Enough is enough!'” The world has gone crazy. Banks are collapsing opening the way for “digital currency and major control of money by the elitists”. War drums beat around Israel. The days of Ramadan (which are prone to unrest) are approaching. Hamas in Gaza, the armed Palestinian factions in the West Bank, Hezbollah in the North, the Iranian proxies in Syria, and sleeper squads in Israel- Iran commands them all.

Hassan Nasrallah, of Hezbollah, stated recently, “What is happening in Israel raises great hopes. Imagine Palestine next door to Lebanon without Israel…this is not a dream…this is an emerging reality with God’s help.”

While Israel is experiencing civil unrest and a looming constitutional crisis, China is replacing the United States as the primary influencer in the Middle East. There is no doubt we are in the last days before the “Rapture”.

At the end of Revelation 1:7, it says “So it is to be. Amen.” That AMEN means- So be it or I agree. Do you agree with the Bible, with God’s word, that the Lord will come and every eye will see Him, that He is coming back as King of Kings and Lord of Lords? If so, say AMEN!

Roy’s Blog: “Don’t Be Ashamed”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7495

Romans 13:12 (NASB) “The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore, let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Time as we know it is quickly running out. Do the masses even care? It doesn’t appear that way. Satan’s biggest deception is that “you have plenty of time”. I believe it is past time to wake up. The clock is near the midnight hour.

For the Christian, you will soon be facing your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and like John said “abide in Him, that when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” (I John 2:28 KJV)

If you are saved, have you told your loved ones, your children, or your friends about Jesus and the need to follow Him? For the lost, time is running out. Being a good person will not save you. Baptism will not save you. Only forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ are you saved. Follow Him today.

I believe (though unknown at the moment) that the antichrist is here. I believe the “false prophet” is here. Look around at the state of the world. The stage is set for the final act. Are you ready?

Roy’s Blog: “Make Sure You Are Ready”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7492

I Thessalonians 5:1-3 (NASB) “Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you, yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly…and they will not escape.”

In the past, certain things were written as a mystery, to be revealed, at a later date. People who read the Bible a hundred years ago couldn’t understand many of the prophecies. It wasn’t time. But today, from Bible scholars to everyday people can understand what the Bible meant by the prophesies…because they are being revealed as we speak, every day! All we have to do is watch the news or look around us at what is going on. Chaos, delusion, apathy toward God and the church, pestilence, wars, and rumors of wars.

We should not be taken by surprise when the Rapture of the Church happens or when Jesus returns. Everything Jesus said and the prophets of old wrote about is going to come to pass exactly as announced long ago. We are seeing the signs, and now we are able to see the “HOW” (the means by which the antichrist will be able to do the things outlined).

Thankfully, we have the Holy Spirit-inspired words of Paul that gave us the information we needed to know to be ready. We are not in darkness but are of the Light, so we should walk in the light of His word so that we would be ready in that “twinkling of an eye”.

Make sure you are ready, “born again”. (Died to the old self and “born anew” into a new creature through the blood of Jesus Christ our Savior.)

Roy’s Blog: “Fear”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7488

I John 4:18 (NASB) “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”

The current worldwide crisis from Covid to crime, and social injustice has many frightened to the point of paralysis. They are afraid to leave their homes so they stay inside, order their groceries online to be delivered, do their banking online, and if they have to go out they wear (most often) a useless mask hoping to avoid catching something. Fear. It can be crippling.

At the same time, other people live their lives with a cavalier attitude like no problems exist. They take no precautions, and they are not prepared. When you point out the fulfillment of prophecies given directly by Jesus, they accuse you of fear-mongering. And continue on their merry way.

You can pretend that all is well and life will go on just as before, but ignoring the facts is detrimental to your eternal health. If you are not prepared, heart, mind, and soul, you are in danger of being left here to face the “Tribulation”.

The fulfillment of prophecies we have experienced in our generation can’t be ignored. They are real, and they are still occurring. But don’t let fear overcome you. The same God who prophesied these occurrences is the same God who said, “Fear not-trust Me”.

In the 23rd Psalm the “Valley of the Shadow of Death” sounds scary, but not if the Lord is your Shepherd. He will carry you through, safely, and lead you in the paths of righteousness. With our Lord and Savior in the lead, there is no reason to fear.

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me.” (John 10:14)

Roy’s Blog: “Digital Currency”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7482

Revelation 13:17 (NASB) “He provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

In the banking industry today we have a “crisis” that is not going away any time soon. Yes, it was a man-made crisis that could have been avoided, but they continued bad practices until it was too late. It still could have been avoided if the Silicon Valley Bank had been allowed to be sold, but someone (at the top of our government) said no.

This “crisis” will cause many not to trust the traditional banking system and lead the masses to gladly accept the oh-so-more-stable-and-trustworthy digital currency controlled by non-other than the Federal Government. With the loss of confidence in the banking system, the government will ride in to “save the day” and call themselves heroes. But the price of that “security” will be a total loss of control by you of your money.

Central bankers will be able to see what is in your bank accounts (any kind), who you make transactions with, what you purchase, and anything else they are curious about in your financial life. That “full transparency” with the state removes all privacy while giving the “Central” bankers the ability to monitor and censor your transactions, and deny a transaction if they deem it is politically incorrect (or environmentally harmful). They can also seize your assets at will. (Socialism/Communism?)

This type of economic power is described in the Book of Revelation. No one can buy or sell without “the authority of the beast and his mark”. Digital currency makes this possible and looking at current events, I’d say that it is headed that way very soon.

Roy’s Blog: “It Will Be Too Late”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7478

I Thessalonians 5:6 (NASB) “So then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.” [Live alert, balanced, godly lives under the control of truth.]

We don’t know the day nor the hour of the “Rapture” of the Church, but we are given what signs to look for and warned to be alert, sober, and watchful. So that when that time comes, our hearts and minds are ready, and focused on Jesus Christ, carrying out the plan He has for our lives.

We know this is the “season” and we are the “generation that should experience the Rapture”. This is the last generation and the one where those left behind will go through the “Tribulation”.

The news media is full of bad news, from the financial collapse in the banking industry to the escalation of war in Europe that could go nuclear at any moment, to the widespread crime and chaos around the globe. Also the push for a “one world government”. It’s different than anything the world has gone through before. Why? Because God has been pushed out of our society. The masses have no anchor and are swayed by diverse ideologies.

You are the generation that will see the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are the last generation, the “generation that shall not pass away until these things are done.” (Matthew 24:32-35)

The Rapture is near. We’ve seen the signs and the prophecies that have been fulfilled…in our generation…and we need to be ready! If you are waiting to follow Jesus when you see your friends and loved ones vanish then you will be TOO LATE!

Roy’s Blog: “The Fog Is Lifting”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7473

Revelation 13:9 (NASB) “If anyone has an ear, let him hear.”

I have been in some terribly thick fog in my life, in Southern California and East Texas. Not only could you not see through it, but it also did weird things making you see things differently, making you see things that weren’t there, and hiding things that were. It was dangerous to be on the roads. I was so glad to see the sun break through that soupy mess and clear it away.

It’s the same today with our lives. As the fog lifts, prophecies that could not be seen, that were impossible to distinguish at the time, are now so easily understood. For thousands of years, people have been unable to comprehend how God’s prophecies could possibly happen as described in the Bible. But now, those prophecies are being understood, and many are being fulfilled. Questions like these:

• How can antichrist desecrate the temple in Jerusalem, when there was no Israel on the map for more than 1800 years? Now, Israel is a nation again…since 1948.

• How can the antichrist possibly track every human being on the earth with a mark? That is understood when you look at digital IDs and central bank digital currencies.

• How could they control the masses? Add in the centralized health care and food distribution and you have full control which was never possible until now.

Many of these prophecies have been “sealed until the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:9)

Through your trials and problems, look to the Son to bring you Light and lift the fog.

Roy’s Blog: “Strange Things”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7468

Revelation 16:12 (NASB) “The sixth angel poured his bowl out on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.”

Friday an agreement was struck between Iran and Saudi Arabia to reestablish relations. The diplomatic agreement, brokered by China in Beijing, China, was reached after four days of talks with senior security officials of both countries. The deal was meant to ease tensions between the Middle East powers after seven years of hostilities.

This deal was a diplomatic and political success for China, which also recently published a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. The big thing about these agreements is that it continues to cut into the posture of the United States in the region and shows the rise of China’s influence in world affairs.

Right after the agreement was made by the two nations, a strange thing started to happen in Beijing…worms. Worms started to rain from the sky, falling all over cars, streets, buildings, and people. The people were warned if they went outside to carry an umbrella to keep the worms off. Weird stuff!

One thing is certain. More and more the United States is being replaced by China on the world stage. And that should make everyone sit up and take notice. We are not mentioned as a world leader in the end times. But the “kings of the east are”.
