Temptation and Tribulation: The Reality of the World We Live In

By Keith A Buchanan

For within these pages, one will learn of the many different trials and tribulations that humanity will encounter. For such information is conveyed in a manner of situations that can and may affect one’s life. It is important for the reader to gain knowledge, learning of its message and bringing one to God’s Word and His free gift of Salvation. For this book speaks not of all situations, but those that are most evident.
For we live in a world that has fallen to sin. For the darkness prevails all around us, but only for a season under restraints. For it is the grace and mercy of the Lord allowing not the Holy Spirit to be removed from the earth, allowing not the forces of darkness to annihilate all of God’s children and creation.
For the hour is now upon all humanity, in such a time as to when the Holy Spirit will be removed from this world, allowing darkness to prevail with great force and enmity, persecuting all whom are in Christ and recruit those whom have rejected His precious gift of salvation.
For such a time as this, darkness is becoming more aggressive, visual and audio with ferocious attacks against all humanity. For the time of the anti-christ is at hand, for Satan and his fallen angels await not; for the Lord will allow these darken entities to prevail upon all humanity.
For many days have already come to pass, as is the remaining. But now is the time of repentance, for the one world government system will bring many inhabitants upon the earth within its control. For the marking of the beast is already upon us, for time is waning, and many will be given over to the beast by their own decision. But those whom reject this world system, given themselves to the Lord and refusing the mark of the beast, will be hunted and persecuted. For the technology has already been set into motion, and the seat of the anti-christ is awaiting.
As the darkness becomes more and more aggressive, judgment is coming upon the earth in a most rapid manner, for those whom heed not to God’s warnings, will experience an event that the world has never seen the likes of, nor will it again.
For the hour is at hand, repent, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and become a child of God. For the hour waits no more!
Which side will YOU choose?

A Note to the Reader:

For the world we are currently living in has become more and more arduous as the days come to pass. For the darkness of sin has continually increased as well as the temptations and trials for all humanity. For we are living in age of biblical history in the making. For some, this is a most exciting time, but for others, great fear comes over their hearts; for the unknown is thy enemy.

But fear is not instilled in our DNA, for the Lord created us without fear, it is our adversary whom promotes fear, confusion and deceit. For Satan is the father of all lies and has been since the beginning of time; destruction is the path he takes. For enmity that Satan and his fallen angels have against God and all His creation, is most infamous and wicked. For Satan will stop at nothing to destroy all of us, that is, if God allows him (Job 1:1-22 see page 112).

But surely, many may disagree, those whom are involved in an occult or give worship to Satan. But the truth of the matter is this, Satan cannot do anything to God’s children unless God allows such. The reasoning is to get the attention of His child; as humanity does when raising our children. For we invoke teachings of right and wrong and give our love, protection, guidance and utmost attention to them, for we will support them at all cost, even if they find themselves in trouble. For the teachings never seize, for such is a life time commitment; as it is for the Lord with his children. For if we walk with the Lord daily, and pray without seizing, then such will give no place to the devil or his fallen angels. But one must understand that we are not all God’s children, we are all God’s creation. How can one become a child of God? Through repentance

King James Bible

John 3:3, 7

3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

1Peter

1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

and acceptance of Jesus Christ, one must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. But such must come from the heart; for God knows the heart of all humanity.

There is only one way to become a child of God and that is through repentance, acknowledgment and acceptance that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins; it is through the blood of Jesus Christ that our sins are forgiven, becoming born again, a child of God; a new creation in Christ. For Jesus walked upon the earth sinless, He died on the cross for all sins: past, present and future. For there is no other way but through Jesus Christ.

But for those whom reject God’s free gift of Salvation, brings great sorrow and hurt upon His heart. For those souls will be lost for all eternity, a decision that one makes freely.

A sinners’ prayer: Lord, forgive me, I have sinned against thee. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, please come into my heart and save me. Amen

King James Bible

John 3:4 – 7

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The Prelude

What world do we speak of? A world that is not of reality, being of pure fictional philosophy, or a world that reveals an ideology of non-fictional significance. Is such actions be of truth, or is such just clearly being nothing more than fallacies and skeptical mindsets within a creative mind. Is there anything or anyone possessing any form of power over all humanity? Are humans living within this world as though they have no authority that will judge or hold them accountable for their righteous and unrighteous life? Maybe, just maybe, there is nothing but humanity that occupies the lands, waters and air upon this planet rendering no future consequences; even until such a time when one’s life expires. If such words spoken are of truth, then humanity as a whole has no fears, consequences or judgments that stand before them. But if such is a falsehood, then humanity has much to be concerned about. Fear as to what will come shall be revealed in a most horrific manner. For such judgments that fall upon humanity will be as the world has never seen the likes of before.

But what judgments or consequences shall humanity encounter? What could have the authority and power over all that occupy this world? If such authority and power has the ability to rule the lands, waters and air, then humanity has much to FEAR! Whom are these powers of authority? What powers does such possess? Is there any HOPE for humanity, or has humanity fallen to the very depths of HOPELESSNESS? As one continues to live under bondage, one may learn of such authority. An authority that will, at all cost, make every effort to destroy all mortality, sparing no life, taken the life and souls of all whom have rejected the light for the mere fictional and futile luxuries of the darkness; it is this very darkness that has raged war upon all the inhabitants of this world offering complete vanity, destruction and eternal damnation.

One must ask, are all the inhabitants within the boundaries of this planet subjected to tribulations and temptations? Is there is a formidable, infamous force that governs over this world unceasingly; bounded not by time nor restraint, unleashing nefarious and wicked torment upon the living as well as those whom no longer possess life. If that is to be of truth, then their attacks would seize not, and there hatred being so powerfully enraged upon all, will be met by such a diabolical force. For there is no mercy, no compassion, no hope and no love; for they feed and thrive continuously for worship and the destruction of the living and seize not in the incomprehensible torturing of the dead. For these entities possess immense power, strength, guile, deception and division that bewilders such attributes in a
