It is interesting to note that the Bible has a last warning message to the world and it is found in the three angel's message of Revelation 14:6-11. In the three angel's messages is included a message of health reform.
Coincidentally, the plan for transforming the entire health care insurance industry and placing it under government control is called, "health reform." You can check it out for yourself at http://www.healthreform.gov/
What is true health reform ? If we look at the first angel's message we notice that he is flying in the midst of heaven with the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth...The message is to be communicated worldwide across the globe...(Revelation 14:6)
Notice what the first angel's message tells us...
That he was.."Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation 14:7
In this first angel's message our heavenly Father is communicating much to the people of earth..
Let's take a brief look at the call to health reform in the first angel's message.
The first angel's message starts - "Fear God and give glory to Him"
We will consider the significance of "Fear God" in another post. Our challenge today; How does one give glory to God ? The Bible gives that answer in several places...
GIVING GLORY TO GOD INVOLVES WHAT WE DO WITH OUR BODIES AND THE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR PHYSICAL BEING
1. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own ? 1 Corinthians 6:19
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20
2. Whether therefore ye
eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God . 1 Corinthians 10: 31
Are most people eating and drinking to the glory of God ? Is God being glorified and honored by the way we take care of our bodies ? When we can begin to answer yes to these questions we will be experiencing the benefits of TRUE HEALTH REFORM. Check out the 8 Laws of Health at www.issues-of-life.com
Whatever we plan to do for God and in Christ we better do it fast...
There will be more and more apparent unity even among religious leaders upon platforms of error...
Because of widespread and general ignorance concerning the true principles of health, education, the laws of God, and many other life matters, trouble is definitely coming from one direction and will soon be coming from other directions too...

There is a whole lot more taking place right now that points to the nearness of our Lord's return. Too much to cover in one blog post...
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, 2 Thessalonians 2:1
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thessalonians 2:2
Before Jesus returns however, the man of sin, (also referred to as antichrist) will be revealed. The Lord wanted to be sure we would not be deceived on this point. The man of sin is revealed BEFORE Christ returns not AFTER. There will be a falling away BEFORE Christ returns.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let's pray..
Heavenly Father, please help us to surrender our lives to you and stop trifling with the things of this world. Please help us to come out of Babylon and Egypt. Thank you Jesus for sending the everlasting gospel to us in the three angel's messages for these last days. Please open our eyes to behold Christ upon the cross and cause us by beholding to become changed.
Forgive us for the worldliness and backsliding from principle that breaks your heart, crucifies Christ afresh and lessens our consecration to Christ while dimming the reflection of His character.
Please bless us with your presence and prevail upon our thoughts and feelings and affections that they may be centered in Christ. Strengthen our wills to resist sin and selfishness. Bless every reader who needs to experience a genuine conversion to Christ today with new motives, new desires and new purposes in harmony with the commandments of God. Soften each heart that we may be led to genuine repentance. In Jesus' name. Amen.
