Unveiling the Role of Angels in the End Times

Title: Unveiling the Role of Angels in the End Times   Introduction   In the realm of spiritual beliefs and prophetic interpretations, the role of angels in the end times holds a significant place. Angels are supernatural beings believed to serve as messengers of God, protectors of the faithful, and enforcers of divine justice. Throughout religious texts and traditions, the presence and actions of angels play a crucial role in shaping the cosmic battle between good and evil, particularly during the apocalyptic period known as the end times. In this podcast episode, we will explore the multifaceted role of angels in the eschatological narratives and discuss their significance in the broader context of the ultimate fulfillment of divine purposes.

LO PROHIBIDO Y LO INVITADO

LO PROHIBIDO Y LO INVITADO   Juan 7:32 al 39   En esta gran fiesta del templo, Jesús lloró dos veces. La primera fue el llanto de reprimenda (Juan 7:28), la segunda fue el llanto de compasión y piedad (Juan 7:37). Para ellos, al igual que para muchos ahora, Jesucristo era un gran misterio. Lo conocían, pero no lo conocían. No podían conciliar al "hijo del carpintero" con el Hijo de Dios. Sin embargo, Jesús declara valientemente su relación única con el Padre, y el propósito de su venida al mundo (Juan 7:29). Fue a esos "oficiales" enviados por los fariseos y los principales sacerdotes para llevarlo, a quienes se les hizo esta declaración dura y penetrante, que podríamos llamar:   1. LA PROHIBICIÓN   "Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y a donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir" (Juan 7:34). No dijo aquí, "A donde yo vaya, vosotros no podréis venir", sino "A donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir". Esto no podía referirse a su presencia física, ya que estaban ahora juntos dentro de los límites del templo, sino a su actitud moral y espiritual hacia el Padre. Aquí surgen dos preguntas: (1) ¿Dónde estaba Jesús que no podían ir; y (2) ¿Cómo no podían ir a donde estaba él?

I AND MY FATHER

I AND MY FATHER   John 5:17-43   The Gospel of John is the "Holy of Holies" in the tabernacle of the New Testament. John could no more invent the things taught in this book than he could make a ladder that would reach unto Heaven. John's Gospel is the Gospel of "the Father and the Son," or the Son's relationship to the Father. With the exception of Matthew 11:27, this great theme is almost never touched by the other evangelists. This is "holy ground." Let us approach it, as it were, with humble and unshod feet. From Christ's own lips we learn that:   1. HE WAS LOVED BY THE FATHER   "The Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth" (John 5:20). One of the proofs of this love is that He "sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth." The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand (John 3:35). It is the manner of our gracious God to manifest His love by giving (John 3:16).

FAITH: NATURE AND REWARD

FAITH: NATURE AND REWARD   John 4 46 54     Some of God's brightest blessings come to us clothed in the dark weeds of mourning. If this nobleman's heart had not been moved through the sickness of his son, he never would have known the healing power of Jesus Christ through faith. Blessed is that sorrow which constrains us to go believingly to the Son of God.   1. AN EARNEST REQUEST   "When he heard that Jesus was come... he went and besought Him that He would come down and heal his son" (John 4:47). He heard, he went, he besought. This is the workings of an honest heart. His request that Christ would "come down" shows faith in the power of His presence, but perhaps a lack of faith in His promise. The Lord would teach the nobleman and us that His Word is as good as Himself. "The words that I speak unto you are spirit and life." They have the same character as He Himself.

THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA

John 4:1-30   "He must needs go through Samaria." There was a must needs for every word Christ spoke, and for every act that He did. Those Jews, which had "no dealings with the Samaritans," usually avoided going through Samaria when journeying from Judea to Galilee; but Christ's love for sinners constrained Him to go that way. He lived not to please Himself, but to seek and to save the lost. In this He has left us an example that we should follow His steps. Meanwhile let us center our thoughts on the woman. See her as:   1. A FLAGRANT SINNER   It is quite clear from John 4:18 that this woman lived in a condition of shameless immorality. She seems to have been the chief among this class of sinners. But Jesus knew when and where to find her. It is no mere coincidence to come into contact with the Son of God. He knows the way that we take.

We Need more than a Teacher

John 3:2   We take Nicodemus as one of the best specimens of "religious humanity"; educated, moral, of high position and culture; a strict observer of religious rites, and seasons, and ordinances; a "ruler of the Jews," a "master of Israel," and a believer in Israel's promised Messiah.   He ought to have fully known the Messiah's errand, and to have recognized Him at once when He came. But even Nicodemus, this well-instructed religious ruler and master, one of the leaders of the straightest sect, fails to understand Him. 

Meet Belial the Demon

Does Failure and  frustration seem to be your lot in life? Is your life characterized by continual setbacks and misfortune, missed opportunities, bad luck? Does it appear as though no matter what you do in life, you cannot seem to obtain the blessings of the Lord? Well let me tell you that you my just be bonded by a curse that is demonic and has been around for ages. You might think I'm out of my mind. However , there are things in the Bible that points to the demise of our country and of ourselves and loved one. Let us not be fooled for if we believe in Christ we have to also acknowledge the existence of satan. Since satan is the prince of air on this earth and he is not omnipresent or omnipotent that means he needs soldiers in his army because he cannot be everywhere at once or fight everyone at once. So when Lucifer the angel of light was thrown out of Heaven because he wanted to be like God and during that revolt many angels that were on his side they were expelled along with their ring leader down to the lowest depths of earth. So, from the moment Lucifer meaning angel of light was expelled so was also his name changed to satan meaning adversary. So satan since being expelled has had ages of practice in setting up his army and it does have structure like mayor demons minor demons but nevertheless they are demons. I want to bring to you attention one of satans major demon. Many of the curses that can affect a person's life come as a result of one of the most wicked and vile spirits in the kingdom of darkness-the spirit of belial. You might be saying where am I getting all this from but before I tell that. I must say that churches are falling church are failing church are deviating from the real sword the Bible. That's why our schools where our children attend have become war zones for their very souls ever since we took prayer out of our schools. Our social degradation as a people, individual as a nation has become so corrupt because it has turned its back on God. We have take the Ten Commandments out of our Judicial system. Our nation was created by God and to God we have to return. But we have to play our role as a true believer of Christ to ensure that happens.

An Exegetical Study of Romans 8:31

An Exegetical Study of Romans 8:31 1. Introduction to the Book of Romans These difficulties reached a climax when the Emperor Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome in 49 AD. The expulsion of the Jews disrupted the Christian organization in Rome. The Gentile Christians took over the leadership of the Church. When the Jews returned, synagogue worship spilled over into the Christian Church. The Jewish and Gentile Christians refused to recognize the leadership of each other, so the Church was in disarray when Paul wrote the book of Romans from Corinth. The book was written in 57 AD. The church of Rome had been in existence for twenty-five years before the book was written. However, the church of Rome faced some difficulties. The Jews of Rome did not accept Christianity, so the church was made up mostly of Gentiles. Differences, tension, and some prejudice developed between the Jewish Christians and the Gentile Christians. The book of Romans was written by the Apostle Paul to a group of Christians in Rome. It consists of sixteen chapters and is an epistle. This book makes a very sophisticated, thorough, and coherent presentation of the gospel, salvation, and the role of sanctification in the life of the believer. The Book of Romans, the sixth book of the New Testament, is an important book in today's world. It has proven to be the most influential and dominant book of the New Testament since the writings of Irenaeus. It also holds a position of importance in the Church. It is the foundation of the Protestant Reformation.

Embracing the New Self: A Transformative Journey through Colossians 3:1-17

Welcome to a voice in the desert and today we will be sharing with you the following message. Embracing the New Self: A Transformative Journey through Colossians 3:1-17 In the vast expanse of the desert, where the scorching sun beats down on the land and the wind whispers ancient secrets, a lone voice echoes through the dunes. This is the Voice in the Desert, guided by the gentle yet commanding presence of host Cesar, as they explore the profound teachings of Colossians 3:1-17. 

Paul’s ministry - Romans 15:14–21

Welcome to A Voice in the Desert, I'm your host César. Today, we will be diving into Romans 15:14–21, where Paul talks about his role as a minister to the Gentiles. In this passage, Paul starts off by commending the believers in Rome, acknowledging their goodness, knowledge, and ability to instruct one another. However, he also mentions that he is writing to them boldly as a reminder of the grace given to him by God. Paul sees himself as a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving in the priestly role of spreading the gospel of God. Paul's ministry to the Gentiles was not in vain, as he mentions that through the power of signs, wonders, and the Spirit of God, he was able to bring the Gentiles to obedience. He emphasizes that his work was not in his own strength, but rather through what Christ had accomplished through him. Paul's ambition was to preach the gospel where Christ was not yet known, in order to fulfill his ministry of spreading the message of Christ. As Paul quotes from the Old Testament in verse 21, "Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand," we see his passion for reaching those who have not yet heard the gospel. This reflects the heart of God, who desires for all people to come to know Him and be saved. Paul's ministry to the Gentiles serves as an example for us today. We are called to be ministers of Christ, spreading the good news of salvation to those who have not yet heard. Just like Paul, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry out this mission, knowing that it is not by our own strength but by the grace of God. As we reflect on Paul's words in Romans 15:14–21, let us be encouraged to boldly proclaim the gospel to those around us. Let us be filled with the same passion and ambition that drove Paul to reach the lost, knowing that God is at work in and through us to bring salvation to all who will hear. Thank you for joining me on this episode of A Voice in the Desert. Tune in next time as we continue to explore the Word of God and its relevance to our lives today. Remember, you are a minister of Christ, called to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. God bless.
