Special Word from the Lord to ETIR Readers

"Listen! The LORD's arm is not too weak to save you, nor is His ear too deaf to hear you call.

It's your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, He has turned away
and will not listen anymore.

Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin.
Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption.

No one cares about being fair and honest. The people's lawsuits are based on lies.
They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin.

They hatch deadly snakes and weave spiders' webs. Whoever falls into their webs will die,
and there's danger even in getting near them.

Their webs can't be made into clothing, and nothing they do is productive. All their activity is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark.

Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them.

They don't know where to find peace or what it means to be just and good. They have mapped out crooked roads, and no one who follows them knows a moment's peace.

So there is no justice among us, and we know nothing about right living. We look for light but find only darkness. We look for bright skies but walk in gloom.

We grope like the blind along a wall, feeling our way like people without eyes. Even at brightest noontime, we stumble as though it were dark. Among the living, we are like the dead.

We growl like hungry bears; we moan like mournful doves. We look for justice, but it never comes. We look for rescue, but it is far away from us.

For our sins are piled up before God and testify against us. Yes, we know what sinners we are.
We know we have rebelled and have denied the LORD. We have turned our backs on our God.

We know how unfair and oppressive we have been, carefully planning our deceitful lies.

Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed.

Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.
The LORD looked and was displeased to find there was no justice.

He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So He Himself stepped in to save them with His strong arm, and His justice sustained Him.

He put on righteousness as His body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on His head. He clothed Himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of divine passion.

He will repay His enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on His foes.
He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.

In the west, people will respect the name of the LORD; in the east, they will glorify Him. For He will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the LORD. "
(Isaiah 59:1-19)

ETIR Reader: We thank you for your continued support for this web site. The purpose of this site is inform you that Jesus is coming soon. The news articles that we highlight on this site is to give you more confirmation that all of the prophecies of the Bible concerning the End of this Age will be fulfilled. God will surely pour out fierce judgments upon the coming kingdom of the antichrist and all those who will take his mark of loyalty.

There is a way of flee the coming Wrath of God through Jesus Christ. He said, "I am the Way, the Truth and Life. No one comes to God the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)

Jesus also said "For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. " (John 3:16-21)

What must you do to be saved? I am glad that you asked.
Peter, the disciple of Jesus, tells us: "Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38, NLT)

Only then, will you be ready for the Rapture and escape the coming judgment of God upon the whole earth.

In closing, we leave with you the words of Paul:
"And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died.

We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.

For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever."
