..."The groom arrived; and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast and the door was shut." - Matthew 25 : 10
..."As GOD had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them." - Genesis 7 : 16 GOD's WORD Translation
Some believe that Noah was able to preach and warn his generation for some 100+ years before GOD destroyed that unrepentant generation with a mighty FLOOD 'BUT' biblically speaking it is estimated that it took Noah between 50-75 years to build the Ark. ( a close and thorough study of Biblical geneology reveals such an estimate of years from those who have studied it all closer and not exactly 120 years*) The Holy Scriptures are actually silent on the 'exact timing' nonetheless no one can deny that GOD gave ample time for 'ALL' humans of Noah's generation to repent, the warning of GOD was not an 'overnight Judgement' nor a 'last minute warning' GOD in fact gave them many : days, months, seasons, years and decades to change and repent of their wickedness and sins and in the end; only Noah's own family heeded the warning of heaven !!!
Today, in this November of 2017 "NO" one can deny that GOD our CREATOR has shown even greater 'Patience and Mercy' with this final generation !!! This final generation, composed of over 7 Billion+ human beings and counting; has had the opportunity to hear of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as 'NO' other human generation in the history of this planet, today the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being spread via : the internet, hundreds of millions of bibles, radio waves, global T.V. satellites and even still through faithful missionary servants of GOD who have heeded the call to go into the remotest corners of this planet !!!
If you want to know what GOD is going to do in the future you need only to study and understand what He sovereignly has done in the past. Before GOD poured out His Holy judgement upon Noah's unrepentant generation; via the great flood; GOD made a way out for those who believed in Him and His WORD*
As this student of Bible Prophecy meditates on the GRACE of GOD, this servant of Jesus Christ is himself evidence of the reach and power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; for in my own lifetime GOD allowed Mario to be the first in his family to go on to college, by the grace of GOD, Mario was also the first one in his family to be 'born again' by the power of the Holy Spirit and in 'one generation' this servant of yours who was born in what some consider a 3rd world country ( Mexico ) and born to illiterate parents with only a first grade education and who worshipped idols because of 'Roman Catholic lies' has by the pure and sheer grace and mercy of GOD been able to overcome so many odds thus far in his short life; very truly 'NO' power of darkness can keep us from our GOD given destiny through Jesus Christ !!!
( To whom much is given much will be required*) Mario, by the grace of GOD was nonetheless able to find himself in the greatest country in all of human history : The USA, and as a student of history; Mario Romano states this because it was the U.S.A. who in the end came to the salvation of Europe during World War II !!! ( it is no secret that had the U.S. Armed Forces not have interfered in Europe and in WW II especially in the Pacific against a mighty Japanese Navy and Airforce; most of Europe would have been speaking German ( Deutch*) ( GOD is no respecter of persons, we are ALL His creation regardless of what country we were born in, or the color of our skin or our social and economic standing* )
It is incredible and very humbling for this believer in Yeshua : Jesus Christ who is 'NOT' Jewish in any way, to know more about the GOD of : Abraham, Isaac and Jacob than most of my Jewish friends and it is even more incredible that this servant of yours and of our LORD Jesus Christ actually knows more about Israel's and of Jerusalem's 'FUTURE' than even of most orthodox Jews !!! This servant of GOD who never had a 'Silver Spoon' in his mouth; nor who was born into no high social class status and who had so many, many of the odds of life against him from day one; heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ through an old and worn out 'RADIO' in the inner-city of one of the most violent cities in the USA; Mario himself is evidence and is a witness of the SAVING POWER of JESUS CHRIST thee only true MESSIAH of ISRAEL !!! ( With greater revelation and illumination comes greater responsabilty and accountability; before GOD *)
This student of Bible Prophecy and Theology understands and acknowledges that 'NOT' all Christians believe in a PRE-TRIBULATION Rapture and I personally have no quarells with such BELIEVERS; I as do most do not consider this a doctrinal necessity for salvation when GOD removes the 'Light and Salt' of this final generation the system is going to collapse under its very own ROT and CORRUPTION; born again believers are not perfect, 'BUT' we are forgiven by our HOLY GOD and CREATOR, very simply because we have accepted the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST with a repented heart to erase all of our sins !!!
The problem is 'NOT' so much about born again believers of all denominations not believing in the pre-tribulation rapture; ( Which is NOT a doctrinal point of salvation*) the problem is that most within 'Christiandom' ( hundreds of millions*) are : Amillennialists, like the : Roman Catholic Religion, as well as the Russian Orthodox Church and obviously the Church of England; whose head is the Queen !!! ALL of these 'Churches' do 'NOT' even believe in the Prophecies of the Book of Revelation as some of us do, much less are their 'Spiritually Blind Leaders' teaching about Daniel's 70 Weeks to their sheep !!! Those hundreds of millions of semi-believers in Christ most certainly are not being : teached, preached nor told to prepare about the soon return of our LORD Jesus Christ and such believers comprise symbolically those 5 foolish Virgins who were NOT prepared nor ready for the imminent return of Jesus Christ !!! ( ..." Watch and Pray that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass..." - Luke 21 : 36 )
The great flood during Noah's time is evidence that GOD ALMIGHTY means what He says and says what He means !!! You and I know that GOD is going to 'FLOOD' this entire planet with His righteous Judgements, as His Angels pour out one judgement after another during the 7 year Tribulation period !!! The best figures and numbers during my research indicate that the world population during Noah's time was an estimated 40+ million people, yet 'ALL' of them had corrupted themselves to the point that GOD was forced to start almost all over again with this rebellious planet; today the 7 billion+ human beings of this planet are truly without excuse; even here in the United States of America the average American has heard and been exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ some 300+ times a year ( and even more than that ) and 'YET' a high percentage of American's have willfully REJECTED the Gospel of Salvation of Jesus Christ in the manner that they choose to live their everyday lives !!! ( Unfortunately, most of American Christianity is part of the LUKEWARM Church that will be you know what ***)
This sinner saved by the grace of Jesus Christ is sure 'NOT' perfect and you better know that Mario believes that we 'ALL' are SAVED and FORGIVEN by the pure Grace of GOD 'BUT' the Holy Bible does DEMAND that once we are 'Born Again' that the 'Things of this World' do not take center stage in our lives; but that the very WORD of GOD through the power and indwelling and direction of His HOLY SPIRIT does !!! ( Matthew 7 : 21 )

( Matthew 7 : 21 )
Coming to the feet of Jesus Christ is never easy; for some of us we have to overcome some very strong 'Semi-Pagan Traditions' passed on upon us by our relatives, in my personal case I was literally told by Roman Catholic friends ( who smoked, drank, cussed and did other unholy habits*) that if I left the Roman Catholic Religion I would lose my salvation made possible according to them by the exclusive : SACRAMENTS and 'RELIGIOUS HOCUS POCUS' rituals of the Priest during Mass !!! It wasn't easy 'BUT' as this born again believer immersed himself in the WORD of the LIVING GOD found in the HOLY BIBLE, this believer got to a point in his Christian walk that 'he knew that he knew' that the WORD of GOD took precedent over the words of any and all mortal men on this planet including that of the Roman Catholic Popes !!!
Despite living in one of the most; if not 'thee most' technologically advanced country in the history of this planet, this servant of Jesus Christ CHOOSES to believe that the BIBLE is THEE Holy WORD of our CREATOR !!! All our technological progress has come with a 'double edge' sword, PRESENTLY in this 2017 most of us spend much more time on : Facebook, Twitter and in other entertainment 'Apps' than on prayer and on the WORD; and I'm including myself into all of this because sometimes I too let the flesh overcome the things of the Spirit !!!
Yes, this student of Bible Prophecy believes that GOD is going to REMOVE His true believers from this planet before the 7 year Tribulation period; 'YES' Mario Romano is fully aware of the many within Christianity who are teaching that we too will enter into the Tribulation period; some even go so far as to try to infer that John Darby sometime in the 1830's invented the RAPTURE; to believe that is to believe that Martin Luther invented Christianity; 'NO' Darby did not invent the RAPTURE instead Darby was one of a very few who in 1830 benefited from literacy and a printed Bible made possible by the printing press; Darby like Martin Luther 'MERELY' after reading and studying the WORD of GOD realized some of GOD's promises after being led astray in spiritual darkness for Centuries by Mystery Babylon !!!
Revelation 19 : 14
'And the armies which were in heaven followed Him, having been clothed in fine linen, followed Him on white horses !!!'
There is a 'Big Debate' between some believers as to whether or not the 'Body of Christ' ( The Church*) will be present during the 7 year Tribulation period, the Book of Revelation does mention that GOD will supernaturally protect some 3+ million Jews in the Wilderness; 'Far and Away' from the Middle East and especially far from Israel and Jerusalem which will be under military attack by none other than the next and final Hitler !!! ( Revelation 12 : 6 and 14 ) According to the Book of Revelation, GOD is going to keep His Church from the worst period in all of human history !!! Revelation 3 : 10; the great debate is 'HOW' by the Rapture ? This student of Bible Prophecy believes that Revelation 19 : 14, gives us that answer very simply because Angels don't need their clothes to be whitened; WE DO; this believer believes that we return on white horses !!!
Whether or not you or I believe in the RAPTURE as born again believers we should always be SPIRITUALLY ready ( living in holiness, abiding in His WORD*) and prepared to depart from this fallen world should death comes knocking unexpectedly !!! The true body of Jesus Christ has always been persecuted in one way or another and has suffered martydom. What is headed to planet earth is UNLIKE anything that has ever been UNLEASHED upon this planet neither World War II nor Adolph Hitler really come close to the sheer MAGNITUDE and HORROR of the Tribulation period; this student of Bible Prophecy can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that most of the remaining unrepentant sinners that will be 'LEFT BEHIND' will not be taking selfies, nor Tweeting or updating their Facebook accounts if history is any guide many of the world's Cell Phone Towers and the Telecommunication satellites of this planet will be destroyed by numerous global calamities just like it happened in Puerto Rico just months ago; in Puerto Rico most of the cell phone towers were greatly damaged !!!
Only 25% of the cell phone towers survived Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and to make matters worse most of the electric power grid of Puerto Rico suffered major damage, so even if the cell phone towers survived; the lack of electricity sure made things much worse ! Obviously hurricanes are 'NOT' the only calamity that left behind people will have to contend with, according to the Book of Revelation those LEFT BEHIND will have to survive and contend 21 Judgements directly from GOD ALMIGHTY and this doesn't count what Satan and his 'Man of Sin' themselves are going to inflict upon the unsuspecting dwellers of planet earth in those days !!!
In conclusion, this student of Bible Prophecy is 'NO' Prophet of 'Doom and Gloom' to tell you the truth when I first got saved, the small Pentecostal Church that I attended 'NEVER' went near the Book of Revelation; I can recall that at one time they did invite a preacher-teacher of eschatology with his numerous endtimes charts and maps; since then I have attended 'as a visitor' numerous churches through the years and very sadly; most Pastors ( about 70%) do 'NOT' ever teach about the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST found in the last book of the Holy Bible !!! Additionally, some wrongly believe that this servant of GOD is fascinated by the final endtimes 'Little Horn' the TRUTH is that I'm fascinated by JESUS CHRIST and everything that He has created in this planet and in this entire Universe !!! The Bible tells us that there is a 'Time and a Place' for everything under this heaven and because this believer heeds the Message of the Book of Revelation it is NECESSARY that this believer teaches about thee most warned upon individual in all of the Biblical Prophecies; had GOD wanted to keep this specific subject and individual as a great endtimes 'surprise and mystery' GOD would definitely not have chosen to reveal some 33 Prophecies about the final endtimes Beast to His Prophets !!! Mario Romano is 'NO' Prophet he is merely trying to correctly interpret the Biblical Prophecies of Daniel and Revelation correctly !!! This student of Bible Prophecy and Spiritual Warfare knows fully well that certain aspects concerning Satan's final emissary are : Highly Toxic and Radioactive; ( so to speak*) those advanced teachers of Bible Prophecy will understand what this servant of Jesus Christ means by all of this ***
...This fellow believer is a regular Christian who lives 'one day at a time' and who each day tries his best to live in : holiness & who loves his fellow neighbors and believers as himself and who tries his best to reflect the light and image of our LORD Jesus Christ as much and as best as he can before this present darkness***...As believers we should 'NOT' go to the extreme of ignoring the Biblical Prophecies and the Book of Revelation as too many Christian Churches do; neither should we just : preach, teach and dwell exclusively on such matters; as born again believers we should : read, study, abide in and live ALL the WORD of GOD !!! I don't know about everyone else 'BUT' the Book of Revelation is the only Book in the entire Holy Bible that directly promises a 'Special Blessing' to all those who read it !!! ( Revelation 1 : 3 ) You better believe that this student of Bible Prophecy is going to keep : reading, studying, practicing, abiding in and keeping to heart the message of hope and victory found in the last Book of the Bible in Revelation !!!
