Grandma's Double Rainbow

Grandma's Double Rainbow
My Mother use to always say,
When someone special passed away;
They'd send a rainbow to let you know,
They'd arrived in Heaven and low and behold;
On the day she left us to be with Him,
My youngest daughter came running in;
And said, "Oh! Mom, please come and see,
What Grandma's sent to you and me.
I ran outside and looked up in the sky,
We saw the rainbow and with a tear in my eye;
I looked again and there were two,
I said, "One for me and one for you."
I ran for my camera a photo to take,
It wouldn't last long, make no mistake;
I clicked away so I could show,
Everyone Grandma's double rainbow.
We talk about this every now and then,
And think about what's at the rainbow's end;
We'll see her again, I know this is true,
God has said to us, "Now, don't be blue."
"She's safe with me and all is well,
For in my house good people dwell;"
She sends God's angels to look over us,
She's o.K., for we have His word to trust.
We feel at peace and she is too,
This special thing we always knew;
Deep inside I feel this is so,
'Cause Grandma told us with her double rainbow.

Dear Lord, I know I'm a sinner and ask you to forgive me. I believe that Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose again. I ask Jesus to be my savior and Lord and put all my faith and hope in Him. I pray to you in the name of Jesus. Amen.

That Dragon is China.
The mother of Harlots is the Cathilc Chruch.
Re 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Re 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Re 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Re 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Re 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Re 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Re 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Re 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Re 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Re 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Re 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Re 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Re 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Re 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Re 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Re 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Re 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Re 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Re 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Re 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Re 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Re 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
Re 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Re 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.
Re 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Re 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Re 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Re 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Re 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Re 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Re 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Re 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Re 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Re 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Re 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Re 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Re 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Re 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Re 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Re 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Re 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Re 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Re 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Re 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Re 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Re 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Re 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Re 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Re 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Re 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Re 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Re 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Re 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Re 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Re 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Re 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Re 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Re 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Re 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Re 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Re 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Re 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Re 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Re 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Re 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Re 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Re 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Re 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Re 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Re 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Re 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Re 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Re 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Re 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Re 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Re 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Re 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Re 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Re 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Re 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Re 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Re 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Re 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Re 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Re 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Re 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Re 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Re 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Re 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Re 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Re 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Re 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Re 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Re 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Re 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Re 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Re 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Re 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Re 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Re 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Re 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Christ visited by Three Wise Men

Matt.2:1-4 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.___________________________________________ Luke 2:12,15-20And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.The Wise men were very wise to not fall into King Herods trap by his charm and manipluations to only achieve his tyrant views and his hidden agends only to get inforation and whereabouts of the Christ child whom is our Messiah in our lives. When Herod was only lying about his true feelings for what he was about to do to baby Jesus the only thing that he had been up to was to be abusive in his own personality to bring his domination that is only in himself. But those wise men was very careful and advoided him entirely and took another route instead.Oh, how those encounters may have been with those wisemen and the shepards in seeing Him in that wonderful birthplace when really wasn't the ideal place that we see on our christmas cards that passed around to every one whom read them this time of year.It was probably cold, damp, and a very dirty cave with a hollowed- out feeding trough or his manger that our baby Jesus had laid in . But stil yet...It was fit for a King! As our very Royal Prince and Presence .And for us as the whole people whom felt that way at first whom come in and say unto us I'm to dirty, or unfit to be a person in whom Jesus Christ wants of Me...... He wouldn't accept someone like me like I'am today. Isn't a blessing that He does No matter what self may think or say at that time. Thankfully and rejoicfully he does and always will come unto us when we ask him.. he right there! He accepts us right on that spot where we are at in that moment in time No matter what we think. He ready and He is waiting for us at any time and any where all we have to do is ask him to come into our lives. Hallelujah!!!! Thank You Jesus ! And I say to Jesus .... Happy Birthday to You Messiah ! This is Your day and we wrap our loving arms around You and we love to love upon You in our own hearts and in keeping it opened unto You in Listening to what You share with us on Your blessed birthday. And for the most part each and everyday until You come for Your church is everso waiting for You to come. We are devoted ourselves only unto You each and every day and going about the business of what You have shared with us in Your precous Words so You won't be dissappointed when You crack open those skys and finally take us home in being at that beauitful banquet table which has been preparded for us all - Your church. Thank You Jesus for all that You are and willever wil be on this earth and in the heavens. catcmo2006

A LETTER FROM GOD TO HIS CHILDREN

Dear ChildrenIt has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks aretaking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn'tactually born during this time of the year and that it was some ofyou're predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what wasactually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate beingremembered anytime.How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easilyunderstood by those of you who have been blessed with children of yourown. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate Mybirth just, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let Mego on.If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scenedepicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santa's andsnowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If allMy followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on thetown square because there would be many of them all around town.Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holidaytree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can& may remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if youwish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching explaining who I am inrelation to you & what each of our tasks were. If you have forgottenthat one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is mywish list. Choose something from it.1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthdayis being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers awayfrom home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. Iknow, they tell Me all the time.2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know thempersonally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.3. Instead of writing George complaining about the wording on the cardshis staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him thatyou'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up. Itwill be nice hearing from you again.4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford andthey don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth,and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms andremind them that I love them.5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their ownlife this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since youdon't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smileit could make the difference. Also, you might consider supporting thelocal Hot-Line: they talk with people like that every day.7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls theholiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warmsmile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "MerryChristmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stopshopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on thatday they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home withtheir families.8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary,especially one who takes My love & Good News to those who have neverheard My name. You may already know someone like that.9. Here's a good one. There are individuals & whole families in yourtown who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will theyhave any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them (and Isuspect you don't) buy some food & a few gifts & give them to theMarines, the Salvation Army or some other charity that believes in Me &they will make the delivery for you.10. Finally if you want to make a statement about your belief in andloyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secretthat you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actionsthat you are one of mine.P.S. Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me &do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check outthe list above & get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ballis now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with allthose whom you love and remember, I LOVE YOU. Thanks to several of youfor this one.God's love shown thru you is the greatest Christmas gift you cangive to anyone. Remember, God is love and as you share his love youreceive much more from him than you could ever give to someone you blesswith your love.1John 1:9 "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive usour sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
