The Promise Of A Prpphet In The Last Days

The Lord told us in the book of Malachi, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.”

The great and dreadful day of the Lord has yet to come, so we should sincerely look for this prophet. If the Bible is true, then this prophet will not come to the mainstream religious organizations. He will come to a select, predestinated few. Imagine if this prophet came, and he was missed. What if he is like the prophets of old, and only a handful of people recognize him? If this prophet is to return in the last day, how will we know him? The answer is plainly seen in the Scriptures. He will have the nature of a prophet. He will know the secrets of the heart. He will perform miracles. The main-stream religious organizations will attempt to discredit him. But there will be a chosen few that recognize him as the promised messenger for the day.

How will we know when Elijah returns? What characteristics will he display, so we can recognize him?

Elijah was a man of the wilderness. Great signs and wonders followed his ministry. He preached against the evils of his day. He especially preached against the immorality of Queen Jezebel. When Elijah was taken up to Heaven in a chariot of fire, his spirit fell upon Elisha. His ministry was then marked by great signs and wonders, and Elisha also preached against the sins of the world. Both prophets stood alone against the religious organizations of that day (I Kings 18:21). Hundreds of years later, the same spirit returned to the earth in John the Baptist. The prophet Malachi predicted that Elijah would return to introduce the Lord: Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me... (Malachi 3:1). John the Baptist was true to form as he called for repentance among the children of God. Like Elijah, he preached against the king and the modern religious organizations. The Lord Jesus confirmed that John the Baptist was the prophet of Malachi 3 in the book of Matthew: “For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” Matt 11:10

This is the Seventh Church Angel - The true prophet of God

Two thousand years after John the Baptist, it is again time for the spirit of Elijah to return to earth.

That day has come. In this age, we have seen the spirit of Elijah return to earth. He defied the modern denominational system. He stood against the sins of the world. He showed innumerable signs and wonders. He preached the Bible word-for-word from Genesis to Revelation. And by reading this article, you are responsible for knowing that God sent a prophet. The prophet of Malachi 4 has been among us, and he brought a Message from the Throne of the Almighty God. That prophet’s name is William Marrion Branham.

Not since the Lord Jesus Christ walked the earth has a man affected the world in such a profound way. From a humble beginning in a one-room cabin in the hills of Kentucky, to Amarillo Texas where the Lord took him home, his life was continuously marked by supernatural events. At the direction of the Angel of the Lord in 1946, Brother Branham’s Ministry produced a spark that ignited a period of great healing revivals that swept across America and around the world. To this day, he is acknowledged by Christian historians as the “father” and “pacesetter” of the 1950s healing revival that transformed the Pentecostal Church and ultimately gave rise to the Charismatic movement, which today influences nearly every Protestant denomination. However, true to form, the denominations discount his teachings and deny his commission.

Wherever he went, God proved that Brother Branham is the prophet to this generation. Like Job, the Lord talked to him in a whirlwind. Like Moses, the Pillar of Fire was seen leading him. Like Micaiah, he was reviled by the clergy. Like Elijah, he was a man of the wilderness. Like Jeremiah, he was commissioned by an Angel. Like Daniel, he saw visions of the future. Like the Lord Jesus, he knew the secrets of the heart. And like Paul, he healed the sick.

The Lord has again visited His people through a prophet. In the darkest time in history, where morality has sunk to depths never before seen and weapons of mass destruction loom on the horizon, a humble man was sent from the presence of God to call a dying race to repentance. His legacy is not simply in books and tapes. His legacy is in the salvation of millions of souls that accepted Christ because of his Gospel.

57th anniversary of Bar Codes

It was on this day on October 7, 1952, Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver first invented the bar code. They were granted the first patent for their invention. The only difference between the bar code we know today and the one Woodland and Silver invented was that it was comprised of a series of concentric circles and not the 59 black-and-white vertical lines synonymous with the current design. This is the 57th anniversary of the first bar code patent.

In 1974, a scanner in a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, met the simple black-and-white striped bar code design tacked onto a 10-piece pack of Juicy fruit gum. Now, more than 10 billion bar codes are scanned in 25 industries and in places including airports, hospitals, and shipping centers.

A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data. Originally, barcodes represented data in the widths (lines) and the spacing’s of parallel lines, and was referred to as linear or 1 dimensional barcodes or symbologies. They also come in patterns of squares, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns within images termed 2 dimensional matrix codes or symbologies. Although 2D systems use symbols other than bars, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well.

The first use of barcodes was to label railroad cars, but they were not commercially successful until they were used to automate supermarket checkout systems, a task in which they have become almost universal. Their use has spread too many other roles as well, tasks that are generically referred to as Auto ID Data Capture . Other systems are attempting to make inroads in the AIDC market, but the simplicity, universality and low cost of barcodes has limited the role of these other systems. It costs about half a United States cent (US$0.005) to implement a barcode while passive RFID still costs about $0.07 to $0.30 per tag.

Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers, or scanned from an image by special software. Scanning software for 2D codes is built-in to or available for many mobile phones, and is especially popular in Japan, India, and Europe.

Evoking our unconsciousness

I recently came across this ad in the internet. With a simple visual , a beautiful message is delivered.

Newton’s third law

To every action.........


There is an equal and opposite reaction ......

God favors me always

For a long time now, God has been good to me; perhaps His grace is there for every good person. Surrounded by cricket fanatics from my childhood days, I always wanted to watch a cricket match in the stadium, Though I watch every match when India plays on tv, it was always my dream to go to the stadium and witness a cricket match. Each time a match is held in our state, I would plan to go. But unfortunately i never got the opportunity to go. Its been now 20 long years and finally I got the opportunity to go for the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata team this Saturday. I can’t wait to see that moment come to pass with all the enthusiasm about these IPL matches round the corner

A biker’s curse – Part 2

We all know that a high speed vehicle is meant to be driven at a speed above the average one. But as I have already agreed, that does not mean that these vehicles are to be driven less than 60 km per hour all the time. There are of course limits to this and caution should be taken in the crowded city roads such as school zones, industrial area, residential area etc.

To facilitate the driving of these high speed vehicles, I strongly suggest that the government improve the quality of the roads with clear demarcation of lanes for these vehicles. It is also recommended that dividers be provided to avoid collision with on-coming vehicles.

Accidents do happen. We cannot avoid them. But proper and careful driving can definitely reduce the number of accidents. As I mentioned earlier, if there are proper roads laid, accidents can be avoided. In most countries there are roads for different speed limits. Bikes under a certain category can only be driven in these lanes. Even in some of our highways where there are four and six lane roads, we seldom hear of such accidents. That is because the traffic is regulated and they are less prone to hit each other.

Converting roads into race tracks is totally out of question and irrelevant if the Government takes proper precautionary steps as mentioned above and allows high speed vehicles to enjoy driving their vehicles on the roads meant for high speed driving.

A biker’s curse

Today, Chennai city has emerged as a hub of IT companies and multi-national companies. In this ever-expanding metro the life has become hard for people traveling long distances to eke out a living. Many people travel from one end of the city to other to reach their workplaces. And time has become a crucial factor in the fast moving world. Dinesh, a young professional working in an event management concern, says that he has to travel at least 150 km a day to meet his clients. According to him, public transport is congested and unreliable. Journalists, medical representatives, marketing professionals and many others share this opinion. Hence, the two wheelers have become the most preferred and most convenient mode of transport.

They are faster, cheaper and convenient. While many go for the high speed bikes, the 40 km speed limit is not to be exceeded inside the city. So the purpose of purchasing such bikes takes a back seat.

It is a paradox that the manufacture of 150cc and 200cc bikes is sanctioned though the restrictions on the driving speed limit is not relaxed or removed. High speed bikes are meant for driving at a speed of not less than 60 km per hour. Is it not a mockery to restrict the speed? Or is it another foolish gesture on the part of the government to enforce a rule mindlessly? Will it not be more appropriate on the part of the government to bring about a more stringent rule on the speed limit of the lorries, trucks, share autos and the like?

Moreover, the roads are generally not fit for riding at high speeds. In comparison to the roads in Delhi or other metros, the roads are not compatible here. Four lanes and flyovers have to run through the main areas for ensuring safe and stress-free ride. Otherwise, low budget cars like Nano will also vie for space in the already overcrowded little roads, making the bikers’ life miserable.
