Here we are at the end of October and the news is the elections; Israel: no majority has won as yet, however, Netanyahu will be in authority until a majority can be acquired in the Knesset. American election next Tuesday, 11/3: POTUS has indicated that war with Iran will resume on 11/4. All western nations are publicly notifying their people to prepare for days of war and war related inconveniences, some for 3 days, some 30, even the pentagon has informed military bases world wide to prepare 90 days of going off the grid = lack of communications, water, food, and possible nuclear fallout. The elites are running things in the world to acquire their great reset, which is in the offing now. Islam is using these elections to gain power and influence in governments all over the world; the Brazil election was a complete theft in one report. The riots in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Albania, Germany, +, are now labeled “the Palestine Curse”. The world is changing. Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead (definition = to judge, pronounce sentence on) with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. This represents God’s judgment on the nations, for the reasons given, and the last one is the two state solution of today which “parts God’s land”.
We continue to look at the book of 1 Peter, chapter 2: 1Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Here is guidance for our behavior when we see all the craziness in the world, the key is to grow in “the Word”. The Lord is indeed “gracious” and HE is in control which is a comfort for us as we see prophecy unfolding before us.
1Peter 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual (non-carnal) sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, Jesus is the head Corner Stone.
1Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word(they choose not to believe in God the Son), being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
1Peter 2:9 But ye(believers) are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Also in Hosea 2:23.
1Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you …, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Letting the Holy Spirit rule your heart can lead to, Romans 2:4 “the goodness of God leads to repentance”, a “seed” in the heart of another.
1Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; …. 15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. “Whom the Son has set free, is free indeed” John 8:36. But it is necessary that we not abuse that freedom which Christ gives to us. 17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1Peter 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.!! (also found in Isaiah 53:5). 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. We need to live as the Shepherd lived, as in Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

We looked at 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 last week; this week chapter 5: The Bible interprets itself, so additions are added to verses of the chapter to affirm and witness to what the verse is saying.
1Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. The Day of the Lord as a “thief” suggests that everything seems fine and normal until all of a sudden, it isn’t. Paul outlines its coming as follows:
1Thessalonians 5:3 For 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. The UN is famous for the “peace and safety” terminology with every press briefing, announcement, nation vote, and with every public speech. At some point when the church is removed, when they say it, then sudden destruction is going to fall on them.
1Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Believers are in Christ Jesus, who said, in John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Believers in Christ are the children of Light – His Light.
1Thessalonias 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. We need to be alert! 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. Not to be alert is to be asleep, which is to be in the darkness of the world and oblivious to the truth.
1Thessalonians 5:8 But 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. In other words, put on the armor of God as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-17
1Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Key verse: God has NOT appointed His children to wrath; all those who have received salvation in Christ Jesus and have become part of the Body of Christ, are spared from the wrath to come, from the Day of the Lord. Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people (my children), enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
A brief reminder regarding the Day of the Lord from Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel continues to describe the Day of the Lord in Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. With all the talk today of nuclear and biological weapons, it most definitely will be a day of gloom and darkness. 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. Before them, a garden; after they go past, desolation, burned and blackened. The ravages of war.
Returning now to 1Thessalonians 5:10 Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Joy unspeakable awaits believers as noted in 1Corinthains 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. After what we read and hear of the evil on the earth – this is a promise we all look forward to and rejoice in! Praise God! And now, verse 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
