REALITY CHECK
A few thoughts to ponder. About the realities of life.
That most people ignore because they are too busy with their worldly lives.

Think, my friend.
Slow down. Pause. Relax. Breathe.
Know yourself. Know what is important.
Know what is your purpose in life.
Know what you are made for.

Remember, that our life here on earth is too short.

For we will stay much longer in eternity.
So, it's better to live the remaining days of our lives wisely.

THINK. CHOOSE. DECIDE.

Your time is running out!

This is YHWHʼs LAST CALL for repentance!

Video Article No.1 - “SLOW DOWN”

Are you living in a fast-paced life?

wanting to be someone
wanting to go somewhere
wanting to have something
right there and then?

Do you keep thinking about tomorrow

planning about the day after tomorrow
and worrying about the future?

Relax. Slow down my friend.

we are too busy chasing our dreams

working relentlessly to earn money
how to become rich - successful
that sometimes we are forgetting
to slow down, breathe, relax, live our lives

we are too focused on money, material things and other worldly pleasure
to satisfy our physical body
that we are forgetting and even ignoring the needs of our spiritual soul

maybe we need to remind ourselves that time will come when we have to leave
everything in this earth behind as it is says
“Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb, and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand.” (Ecclesiastes 5:15)

Think, my friend. Our life is too short to waste it on earthly things.

This time, you can try to satisfy your hungry soul.
Your physical body is important, but your spiritual soul is much more important,
because it is the only one you can bring when you leave the earth behind.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,

where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves
do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:19-20)

Video Article No.2 - “CANʼT ESCAPE”

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die…” (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2)

A time to die.. Everyone will die..

And it all started with

The Fall of Man (Book of Genesis Chapter 3)

DEATH is the result of Adam & Eveʼs disobedience to God.

GOD on Adam & Eve:

“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until
you return to the ground, since from it you were taken;
FOR DUST YOU ARE AND TO DUST YOU WILL RETURN.” (Genesis 3:19)

Any kind of manʼs disobedience provokes God to anger.

Disobedience is when hearts are always going astray..
..away from the ways of the Lord. (Hebrews 3:10)

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and
in this way death came to all men, because all sinned..” (Romans 5:12)

All have sinned.. We are all sinners..

“There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. “
(Ecclesiastes 7:20)
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.” (Romans 3:10)

Now, It is VERY CLEAR. No man can escape death.

“All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:20)
“For death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.”
(Ecclesiastes 7:2)

Now my question is —

Are you afraid to die?

Are you ready to face death?

Video Article No.3 - “WHAT IF”

“For death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.”
(Ecclesiastes 7:2)
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

We know for a fact that we will die. We just donʼt know when exactly it will be.

For it is written:
“..Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future” (Ecc.7:14)
“Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come? No man has power
over the wind to contain it; so no one has power over the day of this death.”
(Ecc.8:7-8)

We live each day thinking that there will always be a next time.
A better tomorrow. A brighter future.
BUT
What if your time comes sooner than expected?
What if thereʼs no tomorrow?
What if you today was your last day?
and you just have 12 hours left on earth?

What if..? Have you ever given a thought about that?

“..But time and chance happen to them all. Moreover, no man knows when his hour
will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are
trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12)

Are you ready to go?

Are you ready to say good bye?
Are you leaving without regrets?
Unfinished tasks? Feelings not shown?
Words left unsaid? Things left undone?
Should have.. Could have.. If only..

Think, my friend.

Maybe this will change your perspectives in life.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.”
(Proverbs 14:12)

Video Article No.5 - “DOOMSDAY”

Doomsday End of the World May 21, 2011 December 21, 2012
Whatever you want to believe. Only one will remain true.
The end of the world is Godʼs wrath against mankind.

For God created human to be with Him, to have fellowship with Him.
But since the Fall of Man, sin entered the world through one man, and death through
sin, in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12)

Since the time of our forefathers, their hearts have turned away from the Lord,
they became wicked, rebellious, they follow their own ways, they continue on their
sinful human desires, rather than praising God, glorifying Him and submitting to His
authority.

They became ambitious. Trying to have power to be equaled with God.

They became greedy. Hungry for money. for power. for authority. for dominion.
All because they wanted to satisfy themselves.

They did not stop from their evil deeds.

Even though God has keep on telling them
not to bow down & worship ANY FORM OF IDOLS.
They are continuously worshipping wooden idols crafted by man.
They are consulting mediums, spiritists, and even the DEAD!
Rather than consulting Him & worshipping Him who is a LIVING GOD.
Who listens, Who speaks, Who moves, Who lives,
Who humbled Himself and went down to earth, to teach the people Himself.
And even sacrificed Himself to wash away the sins of the world.

But still, most people did not love Him. did not obey Him. did not follow Him.
They are stubborn-hearted. They continue to live a sinful life. Follow what their human
flesh desires. Eating, drinking, & marrying. Conforming to the wicked ways of this
world.

If you notice.. nothing has changed to this day..

In fact, people have become more wicked & ambitious than before..
Just imagine, how our sins & wicked ways from the ancient times to this day,
have turned Godʼs anger on mankind?
If we fear the anger of our earthly parents,
how much more the anger of our Heavenly Father?

Jeremiah 10:10 “But the Lord is the true God; he is the Living God, the eternal King.
When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.”

Video Article No.6 - “GENERATION X Y Z”

Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us?
What wrong have we done?
What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?

It is because your fathers forsook me and followed other gods and served and
worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.
But you have behaved more wickedly than your fathers. See how each of you is
following the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying me.
(Jeremiah 16:10-12)

And this my friend is the reality in todayʼs generation.

This generation has exceeded the wickedness during the ancient times.

Observe. Look inside you. Look around you.

See what the people have been doing today.

And you still ask why God would have to destroy this earth?
When in fact, this earth truly deserves such punishment from God, our Creator.

Actually, the people have started to destroy what God created.

By cutting trees and putting up buildings on every land.

Wasting money on buildings that will just soon perish.

Rather than using the money to help the poor,
which God had commanded His people.
To always look after the poor.

Think, my friend.
Donʼt you think you should thank Him for being merciful to us,
Despite all the sins & wickedness of this world?
For He can just destroy this world whenever He wants.
But He is still waiting for His appointed time of Vengeance & Redemption.

He doesnʼt want everyone to perish.

That is why He is giving the people more time for them to repent and turn back to Him.

You see how God is? He is patient, merciful, faithful, righteous, forgiving & loving
Father. He loves us that He wanted everyone to be saved from His wrath on earth.

Donʼt you think He deserves your love too?

Video Article No.8 - “THE TRUTH: END OF THE WORLD PART 2”

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and
wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. Since what may be
known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world Godʼs invisible qualities - his eternal power and
divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so
that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,
but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the
immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and
reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for
the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a
lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever
praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged
natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural
relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed
indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their
perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God; he
gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have
become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity.

They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers,
God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey
their parents, they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know Godʼs righteous decree that those who do such things deserve
death, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approved of those who
practice them.

Video Article No.9 - “END OF THE WORLD: WHO CAN SAVE YOU?”

Who will save you from Godʼs wrath on earth? Who will redeem you?
Who will bring you salvation? Who will bring you to eternal life?

Is it your church? religion? wooden idols? charity works? obedience to law?

memorized-scriptures? Or is it your pastors? priests? leaders? parents? siblings?
friends? yourself?

Does it depend on your success and achievements in life? On money? career? work?
house? car? gadgets? clothes? jewelries? Expensive materials?

Perishable things that will just be destroyed by Godʼs wrath.

Things that will perish with your human flesh & spiritual soul,
If you donʼt have a Savior to redeem you.
Who is your Savior then?

Think, my friend.
Open your eyes. Open your mind. Do not be surprised with all the disaster that is
happening in this world. Everything must happen to fulfill what is written in His word.

“I will accomplish what I desire, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

(Isaiah 55:11)

FEAR. If you are not sure with your salvation.

FEAR. If you donʼt know who will save you from Godʼs wrath.
FEAR. If you have no idea where will you spend eternity.

But those who have Jesus Christ in them, they must NOT FEAR for they know that God
is in control. And Jesus Christ, will save them from Godʼs wrath.
Yes. Only our Lord, Jesus Christ, our Savior can save.

“For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king;
IT IS HE WHO WILL SAVE US.” (Isaiah 33:22)

Do you want to be saved by my Savior too?

Humble yourself before Him. Speak to Him. Ask for repentance.
With your pure heart, sincerely ask Him to be your Lord, and Savior too.

“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength….”
(Isaiah 30:15)

Video Article No.10 - “END OF THE WORLD: MESSAGE FOR YOU”

He who created the heavens, He is God;

He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it;
He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited —

And this is what the Lord, our God says:

I am the LORD, and THERE IS NO OTHER.
I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacobʼs descendants,ʼ Seek me in vain.ʼ
I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.

Gather together and come; Assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.
Declare what is to be, present it — let them take counsel together.

Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the LORD?
AND THERE IS NO GOD APART FROM ME,
A RIGHTEOUS GOD AND A SAVIOR;
THERE IS NONE BUT ME!

TURN TO ME AND BE SAVED, ALL YOU ENDS OF THE EARTH;

FOR I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER.

By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity

a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.

They will say of me, ʻIN THE LORD ALONE ARE DELIVERANCE AND STRENGTH.”
All who have raged against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the LORD
and will make their boast in Him.

Scripture-based (Isaiah 45: 18-25 NIV)

“Seek the LORD while he may be found;

call on him while He is near.” (Isaiah 55:6)
