THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS AND THE COMING FLOOD by JESUS VILLALOBOS (children's ebooks online .txt) 📖

CHAPTER 2

ISAIAH 13 HOLDS KEY TO
UNDERSTANDING JESUS’
DISCOURSE ON END TIMES

INTRODUCTION


It is without apology that I write this book although it may step on the toes of many of today’s theologians. It is through many hours of prayer and tears that the writing of this book came about. It is not lightly that I undertook to write this controversial book.
Controversial not because it is not sound doctrine, but in the sense, that there will be many who will not understand its message. For too long we have been spoon fed the Scriptures, not searching for the truths of God for ourselves. For too long, end time prophecy has been neglected.

Many still unfulfilled prophecies are being withheld, when dealing with end time events. It is time for the average Christian to take control of his/her own salvation, by serious study of the Scriptures. This is not to say that those whom have led are without merit, but rather that the emphasis in these last days, must shift to one’s own responsibility to work out their own salvation.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive the things done in our bodies; whether good or bad. Forgetting those things which have passed by, and reaching forward to the high calling of the Lord Jesus Christ, who has suffered, died, and resurrected, to bring us to an eternal salvation not to be repented of.
Let us therefore not neglect such a great salvation, which God, in His great wisdom, has provided through the manifold sufferings of His only begotten Son; our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is my beloved, loving husband. To Him are all the glory and power and dominion, both now and forever, amen.

OPENING


The earth lies in deep darkness; no light shines from the heavens. Panic grips the hearts of men as they dreadfully await the outcome of this phenomenon. No one dares venture outside; they stay indoors in a vain attempt to ward off the evil they know is outside. They hear the gnashing of teeth, the sound of mournful cries. Nerves are shattered and bravery abandoned as they ride out the worst time in earth’s history as they have known it.
Off in the distance another scream; “Oh my God, no, no, no!” Then just as suddenly, silence. Somehow as if instinctively, they summarize their fate. Whatever is out there is hungry for human flesh!

Maybe we should have listened more closely to that raving old lunatic; each one thinks to his or her self. But that old man sounded crazy, ranting and raving at the top of his lungs; “Three days of darkness and God’s Devine judgment!” He shouted again, “You have asked for a sign, a sign you shall receive! The sign of the Son of Man awaits you,” he said.
Surely his words and the present situation had nothing in common. Surely this was mere coincidence. That old gizzard had claimed to be the prophet who was to announce the return of Jesus of Nazareth to claim His rightful place as king of the world.

But that was insanity. Still, what if he had been telling the truth all along? Another scream broke through; “Oh my God, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The words stopped. What if that lunatic was saner than the rest of us? Nah, it couldn’t be.
In between the terror could be heard the songs of praise being sung to God for His great sacrifice of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. How could they be singing at a time like this? Those insensitive morons, couldn’t they hear the screams of desperation by their fellow human beings?

Surely a God of love could not have sanctioned such a terrible thing as this. Surely He would curse any human who could sing at such a traumatic time in the history of the world. Anyway, where was God in all this? Why if He exists doesn’t He help?

The old fart had quoted from that outdated collection of books he called the Word of God. He had warned mankind to repent and believe on the Son of God whom he believed to be Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed! How could he expect anyone to believe Jesus could still be alive after nearly two thousand years? Still, he had found somewhat of a following. They were as mad as he was.

He had said the Word of God declared a time of judgment just before Jesus’ return. He claimed to know when Jesus was returning. Two thousand years after His ascension into heaven. When asked why the calendar had passed the year 2000, he sputtered something to the effect that mankind had started the New Testament calendar 33 and a half years too early. He said they should have started it after the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, not at His birth.

Who did this guy think he was, changing the calendar? It wasn’t bad enough when the new world leader did it. It took some getting used to. Now he wanted us to go back to the old version, but accept his version that it was off by 33 and one half years, which meant that this present darkness was the actual year 2000. Who could believe such nonsense?

Voices could be heard thanking God for revealing these things to the simple and confounding the wise in their own eyes. Just who did these people think they were, making merry at a time like this? They were no better than the rest of us.

How had they found a way to keep their lights on when the rest of the world lay in total darkness? Though their lights could not be seen by the rest of the world, they did have light or they could not be singing and rejoicing. Who were they to judge the rest of the world?

The animal noises outside were much more ferocious sounding than any animal ever heard of. They sounded like something out of a horror classic only all too realistic. The screams were not fake on the other side of the walls. What, or who, was out there killing and eating human flesh?

The earth had left its orbit and been flung into darkness due to the nuclear war which destroyed Iraq. The old buzzard had at least been right about the end results of this nuclear war. He had said Iraq which he called Babylon would be destroyed by nuclear war which would send the earth hurtling through space to a place of darkness.

How he knew this was beyond me. Maybe he held a degree in physics or some such thing. Though that would not explain how he knew it would be the Kurds, whom he called the Medes, who would destroy Iraq. I could not figure this guy out. He had to be crazy, but still I had to admit he had some things right on the money.

The war between the Kurds (Medes) and Iraq (Babylon) had escalated rapidly and unexpectedly. The Kurds said they had a Devine decree to destroy Iraq. Ha, they were as loony as the old man! What was this world coming to? A new beginning with Jesus as its king if the old man was to be believed.

According to the old guy, after the world saw three days of darkness, Jesus would return to reclaim what Satan had stolen, the Earth. Jesus would return and gather His Children up into the clouds of glory, he said. This, just before He in a rage, tipped the world upside down, causing another world wide flood like the days of Noah. This was in the Word of God as he called it.

This time however, God would not kill everyone due to a promise He made to Noah. God would however, kill all but 10% based upon another promise made to a man named Abraham who asked God if there were ten righteous to spare two cities named Sodom and Gomorrah. The old man had turned this to mean a percentage prophecy for the next world wide flood God would bring upon the earth. Go figure.

Another worldwide flood; there was no proof of any previous worldwide flood. Apparently, this next flood was in one of those books the old guy quoted from. I believe he had said it was in the book of Isaiah chapter 24 if I remembered correctly.

Preposterous! Why was I even thinking about these things? Wait! What’s that light? Could it be the earth has returned to its original orbit around the sun? Oh, no! It can’t be! Jesus!!!
The previous scenario was one of countless millions which will be played out by those foolish enough to ignore the prophetic warnings given by the Word of God. I have purposed in my heart not to allow this to happen to any more than is necessary.

The truths of God’s Word must be revealed to those who will listen. I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness; “Make straight the way of the Lord (preach truth not error) the Lord comes suddenly to His temple.” “His winnowing fork is in His hand, the wheat He will gather into His barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire!”

These are the days of vengeance. The books shall be opened and the dead shall be judged according to their works. Those who had done the good shall reap everlasting life. Those who had done the bad go to everlasting shame and punishment.

Behold, I come quickly as a thief in the night (darkness); and my reward is with me. Be ready therefore with your lamps burning and your wicks trimmed lest coming I should find you sleeping. I am the everlasting light of light; those who find me shall never know darkness. Revelation 3:3, Revelation 22:11-13.
