Good Sunday morning to everyone. The image saying about missing something is bittersweet today. We have been preparing for my father-in-law's funeral on Tuesday.

Bittersweet is the Word of God. Many of the preachers in the Church today fail to mention the bittersweet message about our Creator. They want only to preach the Loving, Gracious God, so they can appease many. Unfortunately to those who do not know God, they do not understand that God is an exacting God. Those that do not hear the harsh side of reality are being left without proper guidance. Be blessed my RP Family as you read the message below from biblewatchman.com.
The Bitter Sweet Bible
“...Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey” - (Rev.10:9).
God has given us a book comprised of 66 books, and yet He has put everything we need in one little book, and it’s a bittersweet Bible. There is nothing sweeter than the gospel message of grace, redemption, peace and salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ; but there is nothing quite so bitter as the judgment message that God’s preachers must deliver, especially the little book of Revelation.
The Word of God is “sharper than any two edged sword.” It is both a message of salvation and a message of damnation and this must not be forgotten. We are told today not to preach judgment and hellfire and brimstone, but rather only the love and grace of God and his goodness. “Prophecy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophecy deceits” - (Is.30:10). And to preach only the love of God and not the wrath of God is very deceitful. The Lord Jesus is ever our example of the two edged bittersweet Bible. “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” - (Jn.3:18). Again - “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” - (Jn.3:36). Again - “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” - (Rev.20:15). We must preach the message of salvation to those who believe and the judgment to those who reject the sweet message of hope in Christ. It’s a bittersweet Bible, amen.
Woe to the minister of God, who because of fear of man “cuts the corners” and omits the bitter part. God will hold him accountable, for he says in (Ezk.33:7-9) - “So thou, O Son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it: if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” And first Ezekiel must, like every preacher, feed upon and digest the Word of God before he can preach to others. “So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll... Then did I eat it: and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness” - (Ezk.3:2,3). But that message sent him on a mission to which he went “in bitterness, in the heat of his Spirit” - (Ezk.3:14).
O we must eat the Bible, we must consume, and devour it and assimilate it. God’s Word both gladdens and saddens. It announces both joy and grief. It is wonderful, and it is horrible. It is sweet like eternal life, and bitter as the eternal second death in the lake of fire. God help us to be soul winners, to warn wicked sinners and present the saving gospel of Christ, lest he die and go to hell. O, sin is sweet for a time, it tastes good in the mouth like Adam’s and Eve’s fruit, but the bitterness of death and damnation will most certainly come.
God’s people must eat God’s Word. It is likened to bread (Mt.4:4), milk (I Pet.2:2), and meat (Heb.5:14), and honey (Ps.119:103). It is food for the soul and inner light to the eyes. It must be read and studied and meditated upon. It must be eaten so that it becomes part of my soul, just as the food I eat becomes a part of my body. How much Bible food are you eating each day? Are you born again?
But it is also bitter in three ways. First, it is bitter because it describes the wrath of God soon to come during the Great Tribulation, just before Christ’s second coming. It is bitter to think of these things and the horrible future that awaits every unsaved person, among whom are relatives, friends and acquaintances. Second, it is bitter because it forces me to face my sin and repent of it - “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and thereby many be defiled” - (Heb.12:15). Third, it is bitter because it brings persecution and trouble into my life when I get saved and take a stand for Jesus Christ and the Word of God, which the world despises.
Are you saved and born again? Born again describes what happens to you when you’re truly saved; you become a new creature in Christ. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” - (2 Cor.5:17). Jesus said - “ye must be born again” - (Jn.3:7). Repent of your sins and believe in Christ in your heart by faith and you will be saved from hell and receive forgiveness of sins and become a new creature in Christ having eternal life. O do not spurn the love and grace of God in His beloved Son on the cross or the wrath of God abides upon you. Receive the sweetness of God in Christ or the bitterness of Hell will be yours forever.

Yes-- God has instruments of blessing and instruments of destruction. HIS sword overstretched Jerusalem when David numbered household Israel and 70,000 died in a day. Under Moses an entire generation died wandering. When Jerusalem is sacked and over run in the future-- only those making retrograde advance to Sector Azal, as it was in the days of the great earthquake of King Uziah, will survive. I have a Super Hurricane Battlefield Shaping Theory. I have only been in the Eye of a hurricane once. It was absolutely calm.........yet mild hell raged without.

Thank you, Good Sir. I mentioned a old school Pentagon up-link type war game Training Module. Here's the Blub: DNA eugenics, cloning, wetware implants…….. Whatever she birthed scared the hell out of her.
USMC Space Marine
Space Command USAF
JR ROTC, CAP USAF AUX, ROTC, AWANA, Boy Scout, Girl Scout Training Module
Now it is “as it was in the Days of Noah”
YOU volunteered. Lead your elite USMC Space Marines head long into combat against ancient evil. You must move quickly before the vital element of surprise is lost completely. High altitude hypersonic re-entry has left your ship smoking hot. Your Wingman’s ship took a particle beam flak hit. Burning pieces of broken Marines and ship hurtle earthward. You lead your team toward the objective on foot and raise your U.S. LO-PO over and under Liquid Ozone Projectile Ordnance grenade launcher. Semper Fi Space Marine !
Deep State Shadow Government authorities, servants, officials, and enemy have been and are engaged in cloning Nephilim hybrids and making humanoid chimera. Using DNA harvested from ancient U.S. burial mounds, Siberian permafrost tundra, Egypt, Mexico city, Tuchersfeld Deutschland, Iran, earth perimeter Antarctica, and a wealth of other sites has caused U.S. president Trump to authorize formation of Space Command USAF combat arms First Responder. This TNG MOD Training module scenarios may be played solitaire, as a multiplayer team game, or nonlethal Real Time by using paint ball guns, squirt guns, and water balloons. Use this TNG MOD to develop your FRAG orders and to train your team—deploy in the field ! Semper Fi Space Marine Trainee !
As USMC Space Marine Commander your missions are complex. Secure all space above earth unto the firmament dome, but do not allow U.S. Federal Aviation Administration jurisdiction to compromise mission security. Interdict and terminate all DNA eugenic Nephilim hybrid and chimera THREAT.
As Deep State Shadow Government commander your missions have been simplified by Governor Andrew Cuomo’s signing of the Reproductive Health Act into law in the Red Room in the State Capitol on Jan. 22, 2019. Now human experimentation failures may be terminated at any time and by law only one doctor is required by process. This enhanced security will aid in all efforts to decode and unlock the human DNA Tree of Life. YOU must develop the ultimate War Fighters and provide for the ascension evolution for the benefit of humanity. Can your DNA eugenic, weapon platform, and military skills raise hell on earth without destroying your sanity, soul, and flesh ? YOU are tormented by visions of an antique Hollywood production entitled Pirates of the Caribbean and historical horrors of ancient mass human sacrifice. Are YOU unleashing hell on earth ?
