Jesus said one thing that would happen before HIS return is that iniquity would abound. (Mt. 24)
For the first time in history, a football player revealed
that he is homosexual and he planed to enter the NFL (National Football
League/USA) draft. (He did enter the draft in 2014 but did not make either team who tried him out.)
Last fall, a football
player left the Miami Dolphins because he was being harassed in the
locker room. One news announcer said it was over homosexuality. Then the reason for the dispute
was shut up and the other announcers told of the problem for many days
on their reports but they never told the reason for the harassment. It
was homosexual harassment.
In Feb. 2014, the wife of the
President of the United States (Mrs. Obama) praised the homosexual who
has openly declared his homosexuality and she honored him greatly. This
opened the flood gates for homosexuals in the last bastion of masculine
organizations in the United States. It declares a type of approval in which homosexuals will relish. Since this other football players have begun to tell
of their homosexuality. (Now they are receiving praise in high places
of this world for telling they are homosexual so they are encouraged to
announce this about themselves, wanting praise.)
In
Feb. 2014, President Obama came out praising a homosexual who had
announced himself to be homosexual. He, too, is football player.
Open statements have been
made by authority figures that homosexuals are to be approved. The newscasters have joined
in verbal approval of this homosexual football player. Owners and
coaches have openly begun to approve homosexuals.
A few months ago, the Pope of the Catholic Church made statement that he had no basis to be opposed to homosexuals.
What about what God authored in Romans 1?
Because
that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart
was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like
to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping
things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between
themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped
and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen. 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for
even their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working
that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of
their error which was meet.
But the homosexual flood is on as homosexuals are encouraged and made brave by encouragement of people of worldly position.
In Russia, at the 2014 Olympics, the President of Russia, Putin, went
to a lesbian and inquired personally of her treatment in Russia, openly
approving her before all and honoring her before all.
The approval of sin
and the open demand for the approval of sin brings us closer to the
wrath of God and the judgment sent by God on the earth and the return of
Jesus for HIS people.
Mt. 24 ... Jesus says ...
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them
all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
In
the days of Noah, wickedness was everywhere. It was so bad that God
said he would destroy the earth and destroy man over the wickedness. In
Mt. 24, Jesus says the days before HIS return will be like the days of
Noah.
Lk. 17 ... Jesus says ... 28Likewise also
as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed.
Before Sodom and Gomorrah
were destroyed in the days of Lot, homosexuals were rampant. When the
two men who were angels came to Sodom to deliver Lot before the
destruction, homosexuals came from every "quarter" of the city to have
sex with these two men who were really angels. And the men who were
homosexuals were of every age, young and old.
Gen.
19 ... And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the
gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed
himself with his face toward the ground; 2And he said, Behold now, my
lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all
night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your
ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake
unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4But before they lay down, the
men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both
old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5And they called unto
Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this
night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. (have sex with them)
6And Lot went out
at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7And said, I pray
you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I have two daughters
which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you,
and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do
nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9And they
said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee,
than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came
near to break the door.
10But the men (the two angels) put forth their hand, and pulled
Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11And they smote the
men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and
great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12And the
men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons,
and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out
of this place: 13For we will destroy this place, because the cry of
them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent
us to destroy it.
Before these destroying angels came to Lot, they visited Abraham.
Gen.
18 ... And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and
Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17And the LORD said,
Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18Seeing that Abraham
shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of
the earth shall be blessed in him? 19For I know him, that he will
command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep
the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring
upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20And the LORD said,
Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is
very grievous; 21I will go down now, and see whether they have done
altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if
not, I will know. 22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
The
homosexual trumpet which we are now seeing in all areas is a very
grievous sin. We have already seen marriage desecrated as men and women
openly take sex partners before marriage and flaunt sex before us and
have no shame. What a sin the heterosexual do today. Now the
homosexuals will flood before us as never before.
How
can this not be the leaves on the tree Jesus spoke of in Mt. 24 ... When
the leaves come on the trees we all know summer is near. When the sin
appears like this, it signals the coming of the wrath of God against the
ungodly who act in sin without shame. But it also signals the
redemption of the godly and the return of Jesus.
I
Thess. 5 ... But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no
need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day
of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall
say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a
thief. 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7For
they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night. 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting
on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation. 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
So what do we who are of God do?
No
one can turn the sin. It is appointed as a signal for the end and the
return of Jesus.
We endure by putting the sin away from us and doing
what Paul said in Phil. 4:8 ... Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. By
a deliberate act of will, we make ourselves think on those things that
are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, things of good report, if there be
any virtue and if there be any praise we think on these things.
And we are told as we see the day of the Lord approaching to exhort one another even more ... Heb. 10
Not
only do we send out these daily exhortations to build the church in the
way of God, we are encouraged to fill
ourselves even more daily with the Word of God and the way of God by
reading Bible. All this helps greatly in the midst of the evil of this
world. We refuse to focus on the evil but choose to surround our minds
with Bible and the examples given in Bible building our faith in God and
keeping our faith in God even in the rampant and increasing evil.
We labor daily to enter into HIS rest. Heb. 4 Keeping ourselves in the Bible and thinking upon those examples given in the Bible.

Peter 3 ... Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the
promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of
old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But
the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men.
8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that
one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as
one day.
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10But the day of
the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. 14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless.
I Cor. 6 (KJV) ... 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you:but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
I Cor. 6 (NASB) ... 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Can a homosexual or lesbian be saved? Yes, of course that sinner can be saved just as other sinners are saved. But he or she cannot continue in the sin after being saved.
Revelation 21 ... 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second death.
Revelation 21 ... 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie:
Revelation 22 ... 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
I Cor. 6 (NIV) ... 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
To the woman taken in adultery, John 8, Jesus did not condemn her but Jesus did give her the following instruction: "Go, and sin no more." (She had to stop doing that sin.)
And so it is with sins: You cannot continue in those sins.
