A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Revelation 16:16 Armageddon is coming
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. for they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying it is done. And there were voices and thunders, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake. And so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
Armageddon is coming. God is preparing the nations of the world for the great war, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. The Greek word for gathered is Sunago, meaning to lead together and to congregate or bestow. Jesus has warned that He is coming as a thief in the night, and all those who are ready must keep their garments lest they walk naked, and they see their shame. These frog-like spirits are devils that shall come from the dragon, who is the devil and the beast, who is the Antichrist, and the false prophet who deceived the whole world into receiving the mark of the beast 666. Let him that readeth understand that all who receive this mark shall be cast into the Lake of Fire. Russia and China shall join forces as the king of the north and the south, and they shall come against the holy city Jerusalem. What we are seeing in the news today is the beginning of troubles that are preparing the world for that great day of deception. The Church will be raptured, and the seventy weeks of Daniel's prophecy shall come to pass when the Antichrist shall sign a seven-year peace treaty with Israel. In the first three years, the world will be prosperous, and people will think they are going into utopia, but then the beast will have everyone receive the mark of the beast, and all who do not receive it shall be beheaded. We must warn those who are left on the earth to run for the mountains and hide in the rocks, for great tribulation is coming. God shall prepare the nations for the great supper, for the vuclgers to eat the flesh of kings and mighty men. For the great day of His wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand? Jesus will destroy the beast and the false prophet, and they will be cast into the Lake of Fire. The devil, that dragon, shall be bound into the bottomless pit, falling for a thousand years, and Jesus will usher in the Kingdom of God for one thousand years of peace and security. Then the devil will be loosed for a short period of time to deceive the nations again, then fire will come from heaven and destroy them all, then the devil will be cast into the Lake of Fire with the Antichrist and the false prophet.
#Saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet,: Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Revelation 9:14
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. One woe is past; and behold, there come two woes more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God. Saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men, and the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Jesus is getting us ready for that great day, and who shall be able to stand? We are about to enter the last war to end all wars, called the Battle of Armageddon. And all the armies of the world will come against Jerusalem, the city of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who shall destroy them with the breath of His nostrils. This king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon, is of Satan the devil who shall be cast into the bottomless pit falling for a thousand years, until he shall be loosed for a short season to deceive the whole world, and then cast into the Lake of Fire with the Antichrist and the False Shepherd. We must warn all those on earth to repent and turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. These angels at the great river Euphrates are so fierce that they have been kept in Tartarus, which is the place where the fallen angels are awaiting being cast into the Lake of Fire. This Lake of Fire will consist of smoke and brimstone and shall burn forever. God never intended for man to go there, cause it was prepared for the devil and his angels. This is the second death, and the books shall be opened, and all those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life shall be cast into the Lake of Fire. Then there will be a new heaven and a new earth, for the former things have passed away, and all things will become new.
#And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:27 The Antichrist shall have the world to worship him as god.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. The Antichrist shall have the world to worship him. For four hundred and eighty-three days are determined, and the Messiah shall be cut off at the sixty-ninth week. We are in the last days and one week is yet to be fulfilled of this prophecy, when the Antichrist shall make a false peace treaty with Israel for one week, which is seven years, and in the middle of the week he shall cause all the world to worship him as god and to receive the mark of the beast which is 666, let him that understands not accept this mark for all those who receive the mark shall be cast into the Lake of Fire. Jesus the Messiah will come at the end of the week and establish His kingdom and bring in everlasting righteousness. Praise the Lord, for the Prince of Peace is coming, and He shall put an end to all wars, and the government shall be upon His shoulders. All that is yet to happen before this prophecy comes to past is for the rapture of the Church, which could be any moment, and the Lord shall descend from heaven with the shout of the arc-angel, and the dead in Christ shall be raised first, then all who remain shall be changed in the twinkling of and eye at the last trump, and so shall we be caught up in the clouds to forever be with the Lord in the air. We must occupy until He comes, for He is coming quickly.
#And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient, for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 His grace is sufficient.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth; but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong. I have become a fool in glorying: ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. Truly, the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. The Greek word for sufficient is Arkeo, meaning to ward off, to avail, or to be satisfactory and be content. His grace is sufficient. Paul has learned after praying three times for the Lord to remove the thorn in his flesh that the grace of Christ is sufficient for him. Much rather will I boast in my weaknesses that the power of Christ should rest upon me. I, too, have a mental illness, and we do not know what the thorn in the flesh to Paul was, but he was victorious over it by the grace of Christ. So I pray that if you are hearing voices and experiencing paranoia, then see a mental health professional, and if they determine that, get the medication prescribed for your illness. Do not be ashamed of having a mental illness, for just as the body gets sick, so does the mind. Thank God that His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses, and we give God all the praise and the glory.
#But woe unto you that are rich! For ye have received your consolation. Luke 6:24 It is easy for a rich man to be consoled
The Greek word for consolation is Paraklesis, meaning an imploration, entreaty, an exhortation, encouragement, or caution. Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Woe unto you that are full! For ye shall hunger, Woe unto you that laugh now! For ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you, which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. It is easy for a rich man to be consoled. Jesus is telling the disciples to beware of riches, for it is easy for a rich man to be consoled. For the day is coming when your riches will be cankered, and weep and howl, you rich men, for God is going to judge you for the way you defrauded your workers of their wages. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven. The needle was a gate in Jerusalem that the camels had to get on their knees to get through, and this is how hard it is for rich people to unload their riches and get on their knees. Let those who are rich in this world be free to distribute, for it is more blessed to give than to receive. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. Great riches take on wings and fly away, so if riches increase, set not thine eyes upon them. May the Lord teach us to number our days and appoint our hearts to wisdom. It is my prayer that you will encourage and caution others about getting rich. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
#But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10 Refined in the fire
There, the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered forever from my judge? Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: He hideth Himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him. My foot hath held His steps, His way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? and what His soul desireth, even that he doeth. Refined in the fire. The Hebrew word for gold is Zahab, meaning to shimmer, fair weather, something gold colored, i.e., yellow, such as oil or a clear sky. Job is aware that God has placed him in the fire to refine all the dross from him. This verse I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food, was my father's favorite verse, and my uncle would tease him, saying I will eat your food. Surely God knows the way that I shall take, when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. To purify gold, it must be refined in the fire seven times hotter. God knows what I can take, so I count it all joy when I fall into diverse temptations, for the trying of my faith, because God is all-wise and will deliver me from all my troubles. Therefore, I shall not fear when the wicked, even my enemies, come upon me to eat up my flesh; they will stumble and fall, because God is the strength of my life.
All those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution for many are the afflictions of the righteous and out of them all the Lord delivers us.
#I Paul have written it with mine hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest me even thine own self besides. Philemon 1:19 A servant of God's
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. Having confidence in thy obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you—the Greek word for albeit, Hina me, meaning in order not lest, that. Paul has won Onesimus, a slave of Philemon, to the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is bringing him back no longer as a slave but as a servant of God. Onesimus is the slave in the Greek dulos, and he is now a brother in Christ, and Paul has utmost confidence that Philemon will repay him what he owes, as to charge it to his account. We must do our work unto the Lord, knowing that of the Lord we shall receive an inheritance of the Lord. I pray that if you are suffering as a former slave, that you know we are the bond servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Jesus has said that what is right I will repay. He sent us into His vineyard to work for a penny a day. Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, and His mercy endures forever.
#Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher to the Gentiles. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless, I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. The Greek word for persuaded is Peitho, meaning to convince by argument, true or false, by analogy to pacify, conciliate, assure, obey, and trust. Paull is giving us his assurance of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ so that we too will not be ashamed of the gospel and know that God can keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day, for all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Phygellus and Hermogenes were false teachers who had turned away from the gospel, and he warned the brethren to be aware of them. Therefore, let us walk by this holy calling not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, for He hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. May the God of all comfort console you, and give you the strength to endure these sufferings that have been committed unto us, for it is appointed unto not only to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, but to suffer for Him. Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world. Love not the world, for all that is in the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life, and all these things are passing away, but whosoever does the will of God shall abide forever.2 Timothy 1-15
#Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestine. The Hebrew word for holiness is Qodesh, meaning a sacred place or thing, sanctity, a consecrated, dedicated thing hallowed in the sanctuary. We praise thee, O Jehovah God, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Thou did open the Red Sea, and allowed our feet to walk on dry ground, and when the enemy pursued us, you blew with the wind, and they drowned in the depths of the ocean. Who is like unto thee in holiness? For thou only art holy, and we beseech thee to have mercy upon us. As we travel this barren land, we look unto thee, O Lord, and pray for thy mercy and grace to be upon us. Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, I will exalt thee in the heavens. For thou only art the Lord worthy of all our praises. May we walk in the light of thy love, and when you call us home, may we sit at thy feet praising thy name forevermore.
