Only Few Saved
The Lord Jesus tells us that many
people are going to be lost, but only few are going to be saved.
"Enter by the narrow gate: for
wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and there are
many who go in by it. Because narrow is
the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who
find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)
According to the Bible the majority
of people will be lost. Sadly the
majority of people still walk the wide road of sin into eternal damnation. We must take this warning from God seriously. The Lord says only a few people will be
saved.
How few can few be in this
particular situation? In 1 Peter 3:20
(KJV) we read, "When once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was preparing, wherein few, that is eight souls were saved by
water." The conservative
estimate of the number of people on the face of the earth in the days of Noah
is two hundred million (200,000,000) people.
But only eight (8) out of the estimated two hundred million
(200,000,000) were saved.
It’s shocking, isn’t it?
Even though the Bible says in 2
Peter 3:9 that the Lord is "not willing that any should
perish", Jesus says in Matthew 7:13-14 concerning eternal life in
Heaven that "there are few who find it". The vast majority of people will spend
forever and ever in the eternal fires of Hell that will never be
extinguished. Why? The vast majority of people are not really
interested in going to Heaven.
God does not want anyone to be lost,
but the choice is ours!!!
Take care.

Land of Milk and Honey!
“So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the
Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,
a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:8)
The original expression, "a
land flowing with milk and honey",
is a reference in the Hebrew Bible to the agricultural abundance of the Land of Israel. The first
reference appears in the book of Exodus during Moses' vision of the burning
bush.
Agriculture in Israel is a highly developed industry: Israel is a major exporter
of fresh produce and a world-leader in agricultural
technologies despite the fact that the geography of Israel is not
naturally conducive to agriculture.
More than half of the land area is desert,
and the climate and lack of water resources do not
favor farming. Only 20% of the land area is naturally arable. Today agriculture
represents 2.5% of total GDP and 3.6% of exports. While agricultural workers
make up only 3.7% of the work force, Israel produces 95% of its own food
requirements, supplementing this with imports of grain, oil seeds, meat,
coffee, cocoa and sugar.
Israel is home to two unique types
of agricultural communities, the Kibbutz
and Moshav, which developed as
Jews from all over the
world immigrated to the country
and embarked on a pioneering enterprise.
Israel is a world leader in
agricultural research and development, which has led to dramatic increases in
the quantity and quality of the country's crops. The drive to increase yields
and crop quality has led to the development of new seed and plant varieties, as
well as to innovations such as a soil conditioner substance (vermiculite)
which, when mixed with local soils, boosts crop yields, and drip irrigation.

Why am I showing that to you?
So that you may have a better idea
of how God fulfills His promises. There’s nothing too hard or impossible for
Him.
Keep it in your mind!
