Rich People according to the Apostle James

Listen rich people!

Groan with anguish because of all the terrible trouble ahead of you!  Your money is rotting away, and your fine clothes will soon be rags.  Your wealth will soon be worthless.

The (ill-gotten) wealth you were counting on will eat your flesh like fire.  This treasure you have accumulated will stand in evidence against you on Judgment Day!

Listen to the cries of your employees whom you cheated out of their pay!  Their cries have reached the ears of God.

You have spent your life in luxury, satisfying every desire.  You have fattened yourself for the day of slaughter, the last day.

You have condemned and killed innocent people who do not resist you!

James 5:1-6
- New Testament, the Bible, Holy Scriptures

Things I Learned from Holy Scripture, the Bible

Below are some things I learned from the Bible in 1974


1. Angels are not dead people since they existed before the creation of humans.

Job 38:6-7

2. We should carefully guard our words and actions so no one can use them against us. Others will see if our faith is genuine by our words and actions.

           3. It is better to store riches in Heaven than on earth. Mark 4:18-20, Luke 8:14, 

Luke 12:21

4. Satan will try to influence everyone.  Some influences will be subtle, others hard-hitting. Sometimes Satan will appear as an angel of light.  2 Corinthians 11:14

5. Saturday is the Lord's Day Sabbath. ( an unknown person from Georgia, USA mailed me a newspaper article entitled, “Why do the Heathen Rage.” Which confirmed from the Bible that Saturday is God’s Sabbath!)

Exodus 20:8-11, Luke 4:16, Isaiah 66:22-23! John 14:15,21,24. John 15:10.

            6. Jesus will come again visibly, unexpectedly and soon. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 

Prophecy of Capital & Labor in the Last Days

Read what Holy Scripture has to say about Discontented workers and their rich employers in the last days of Earth's history. Read the following Scripture below - James 5:1-6,8:

Come you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupt and your garments are moth-eaten. Your money is corroded, and its corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat you like fire. You have heaped up wealth in the last days.

You (the wicked rich) have withheld the wages of your employees by fraud, and God hears the cries of your employees! You [the wicked rich] have lived on earth in selfishness and luxury, you have fattened your life as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, they do not resist you.

...You [the righteous] be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near!

James 5:1-6,8

Finances

"There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches." Proverbs 13:7

"Better is a little with righteousness, than vast wealth without justice [God]." Proverbs 16:8

From a Bible view, God promises to provide for us when we put the principles of Heaven first in our lives.

 In a world where little is certain, in an age of tremendous financial insecurity, God promises that when we are faithful to Him, He will provide.

No one ever trusted God in vain. He never disappoints those who trust in Him.
