BIBLE MEDITATION:
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8
ENCOURAGING WORD:
A boy was reading a murder mystery one day, and he became anxious about whether the hero was going to live. To alleviate his anxiety, he read the last chapter and discovered that he survived! Afterwards, when he continued to read the rest of the book he read where the villain was planning a dastardly deed, he chuckled to himself and thought, "If you knew what I know, you wouldn't be so arrogant."
Let me continue with these words of Wisdom. If you knew the end of the Bible, as I do, I can honestly say, “If you knew what I know, you wouldn't be so afraid of what is in the future.” If you reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you will not like the end of the story. The Bible has the greatest most glorious conclusion that you could ever imagine, “IF” you have given your life to Jesus Christ. If you are truly a born-again Christian, you should understand that in the end, the Body of Christ wins. We are passing through a world that is not our own. We are subject to all kinds of evil and most of it, if not all of it is aimed at the Jewsih people and the Body of Christ. We are in a battle ground, fighting for the souls of men. Satan has one goal in mind and that is to thwart the plan of God. If he can destroy Gods chosen people, then he would win in the end, but we know according the Word of God, that will never happen.
We read in; 1 Peter 5:8; “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
If you are a Christian who is ignoring the fact that Satan is alive and well, you are probably running aimlessly through life heading nowhere. If you claim to be a Christian, but have not given your life to Jesus, it’s a good chance that you are under attack from Satan. Those that have given their life to Jesus, Satan can’t touch unless God allows it. If you are a pretend Christian, you are alone to fight with Satan and his adversaries on your own. The only protection that a Christian has is to be in the hands of the Holy Spirit as we read in;
John 14:16-17; “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper (The Holy Spirit), that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
If you have truly been born again, you might have been told that life would be a bowl of cherries, however, you are most likely finding out that it can also be the pits at times in your life. Jesus never told us it would be a smooth sailing, but He did say, “He would never leave us nor forsake us.”
I recall a quite a while back at the start of my walk with Christ, I was having a hard time with all the evil that was in the world. That night I prayed and asked God what was happening and why is all this evil all around us. That night came the first and only time I ever heard the audible voice of God. As I was lying in bed I heard a voice say, “John 16!” I thought I was hearing things, so I just lied there, and then I heard it again “John 16!” And then a third time I heard “John 16!” This was well before I had any knowledge of scripture and no memory verses stashed away in my mind, so I had no idea what was in John 16. So, the next morning when I woke up I picked up my Bible and read John 16, and the last verse in; John 16 was this; verse 33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” If I didn’t read this verse, I would still be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, instead, because I read these words from Jesus Christ, I can accept what is happening because He said it would happen. Does that mean I like it, no, it just means I understand why. He also said that in Him we would have peace.
This verse that I just read really prompted me to do an intense study of the Bible. After many years of studying the Bible and taking part in many Bible studies, I realize, that in this world, we will have tribulation, but know this my friends, in the end, we, as born-again believers, do win. When Jesus came into this world, He came for the soul purpose of redeeming man kind to Himself. He knew what had to be done. He knew that He would ultimately be beaten and nailed to a cross. But He also knew that by His death many would be saved from their sins and ultimately enter into fellowship with Him in His Holy Kingdom forever. Jesus’s death was foretold, the problem was this as it is today, very few people read the Bible to hear what God has to say about the future and what we can expect. People would rather sit in a church on Sunday for about an hour and listen to what the Pastor or Priest decides to teach on. It usually has nothing to do with the scriptures of the Bible.
Today in our denominational churches there is a famine for the truth. I would venture to guess that about 90% of the world population doesn’t have a clue how the world will end as we know it today and how soon that could actually be. The Bible informs us about everything that is going to take place in the end days, and if you understood that, you would see that most of it is happening today on a grand scale. People are running around in fear because of their lack of knowledge. We read this truth in the following Bible verse.
Hosea 4:6; “My people (The Jews and Christians) are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Lack of knowledge is why people are so miserable and running in fear these days. And Yes, they will eventually come to their wits end. If everybody read and studied the complete Bible, nobody would be running around in fear, but unfortunately, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Todays churches are not teaching the truth about the end days, they think it is more important to tickle their ears with all kind of lies and put together programs that have no bearing on salvation. What is coming soon to unbelievers is going to be anything but peaceful. Most of them are being taught that peace is coming, and the church will usher in the grand utopia before Jesus returns. By not being taught the full Bible, most of the denominational churches are extremely ignorant of what is coming soon, and they will parish as we just read in Hosea 4:6. They will be caught off guard, just like those in the days of Noah, which is no surprise to me. Hear what the following Bible verse has to say.
Luke 17:26-30; “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
In case you aren’t aware, we are living in the days that this verse is referring too, just as Jesus prophesied. Of course you don’t know that, because you are most likely not being taught the truth of what is coming from your sect of Christianity. Satan’s plan is for humanity to remain ignorant, and he is accomplishing much success in his mission. He is behind most of the pulpits of today telling us that everything will be fine, just be nice to one another and everything will work out. That in and of itself is a good characteristic, but not one that will save you, or the world. Satan is very cleaver; he knows all to well how to deceive those that inhabit the earth.
As a matter of fact, here are four verses to take very seriously, because we are there; all these verses are describing the days in which we live;
We read in; Matthew 24:22; “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” This verse alone tells us that things are going to get worse and worse until Jesus comes back. Does it sound like Jesus is going to return to a peaceful world…not hardly!
Matthew 24:24; “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.” (Fortunately the true Body of Christ won’t be here). God will remove the true believers before it gets that bad.
1 Timothy 4:1; “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times (The days in which we are now living in) some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,” (This applies to most of the denominational churches of today)
2 Timothy 4:3-4; “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.” When it says “wanting to have their ears tickled” that is referring to all the lies that are being told so that people will have a false sense of peace and happiness. They don’t know better.
2 Thessalonians 2:3; “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, (The falling away of sound Biblical doctrine) and the man of lawlessness (The Antichrist) is revealed, the son of destruction,”
If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, you will be deceived into believing all the lies that are being taught as truth. I’ll share a few Bible verses that we should be mediated on:
Romans 15:4; “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.’ This is speaking of all the prophetic messages that are scattered throughout the scriptures of the Bible. Ignoring Bible prophecy is very dangerous. You are taking 30% of the Bible and telling God its not important to you. This is the result of following a church that doesn’t teach through the Bible, Book by Book, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. How do you expect to hear the truth if you’re not studying the whole Bible. Salvation is not something that should be taken lightly, it’s forever. The life that we are living now is a vapor, here today, gone tomorrow. Those that reject Jesus Christ will be tossed into the “Lake of Burning Fire” for all eternity. Not because God puts them there, it because those that rejected Jesus have chosen to spend eternity there. God gives us a choice…it’s up to us what we choose to believe.
2 Timothy 3:16-17; “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” This is undeniable truth that the whole Bible has been inspired by the Holy Spirit. For those of you that say, the Bible was just written by a bunch of men, read this verse over and over until it sinks in. Men may have penned it, but the Holy Spirit inspired every Word to righteous men of God. Either you believe the whole Bible, or you reject the whole Bible, there is no half way. I’ve heard someone say to me once, “You know that only 80% of the Bibler is true. If that is the case, how do we determine what 80% to believe. That was one of the most ignorant things that I ever heard said. That may be why we have so many churches teaching false doctrine.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, (His Disciples) you accepted it not as the Word of men but as what it really is, the Word of God, which is at work in you believers.” Only believers will understand the truth.
2 Corinthians 4:4; “In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, God has allowed Satan to blind you from the truth, in other words, there is no way for you to understand the truth of the Bible unless you give your life over to Jesus Christ and become born gain. All these Bible verses that I am sharing are Words from the Creator of the universe. Why would you not believe in the one who gave you life? No matter what you believe, you will meet Jesus Christ one day. You will meet Him as a sinner who denied the truth of the Salvation, and you will be condemned to the Lake of Burning Fire forever, or you will meet Jesus as one who trusted in Jesus Christ for your salvation and you will be forever in an environment that we can’t even imagine, it will be so incredible. Two options…one choice!
2 Peter 1:20-21; “Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” Notice a common theme throughout these verse? There pretty much encouraging us to take Bible Prophecy very seriously. Why would you follow a religion that denies what the Bible teaches.
Romans 10:9-13; “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Here is a verse that gives me comfort because of all the friends that I lost since I gave my life to Jesus. John 15: 18-19’ tells us; “If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” See, I am not of this world! Are you?
The verses that I just read is Jesus telling us right upfront what to expect if we choose to follow Him, however, we get a very comforting message from the Apostle Paul in;
Romans 8:18-23; “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
The best is yet to come for the believer!
Think about this, every year football starts in August. There is going to be a Super Bowl winner. What if the team that was going to win the super bowl knew in advance that they would be crowned champions, do you think they would worry if one of their main player went down with an injury? Of course they would be concerned for that player, however, they would still find comfort knowing that they were still going to win. Christians, we know the last chapter in the Bible, and we know the ultimate ending. We Win! The glories of the future reign of Christ can help dilute the sorrows of the present. The devil's doom is pronounced in Genesis--and it's executed in Revelation. Hang in there, heaven is in the near future for those that believe. Do you believe?
I’m going to share 8 prophecies that are in the years to follow that could happen any day..
8 – Mocking of Bible prophecy and the Lord’s return.
They’ve been talking about this since the 1st century! Why hasn’t He come already? Na, He’s not coming! The scripture is proof of this is in; 2 Peter chapter 3.
2 Peter 3:3-10; “knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.
This has been going on since the beginning of time for the most part. People have mocked the Bible and the truth of it for centuries. But now days they are just mocking the Word of God; they are downright sticking their fingers in the eyes of God. The most blasphemous actions that we are seeing are those that call themselves drag queens. Like the Bible say in the end days, Way back in the book of Deuteronomy 22:5 ; this was said; “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” What they are doing is blatant disrespect for the Word of God. They will pay dearly.
7 – Sudden destruction of Damascus, Syria
There’s not much left of Damascus as we speak, It happens to be the oldest existing city in the world. The current war in Israel and the attack on U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq will probably escalate and the destruction of Damascus is imminent.
This message is in the scriptures concerning Damascus:
Isaiah 17:1; The pronouncement concerning Damascus: "The burden against Damascus.“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.
Jeremiah 49:23-27; Against Damascus. “Hamath and Arpad are shamed, For they have heard bad news. They are fainthearted; There is trouble on the sea; It cannot be quiet. Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts. I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”
This was prophesied thousands of years ago and that prophecy is about to come fruition. If all those that parish in Damascus knew and believed this prophecy when it was spoken, nobody would have be here when takes place, but all those that reject Bible prophecy or have never heard about it will parish as a result of lack of knowledge.
6 – Allied invasion of Israel, led by Russia, Iran and Turkey
Ezekiel 38:1-6, Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords, Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.”
This invasion is so close to taking place. All the countries that are mentioned to take part in this invasion are all lined up and ready to move forward. There are those that believe this war could take place in 2025. Based on my knowledge in this area, I can agree with them. I could get into a whole study of this event, and why I believe the time is at hand, but it would be a long message, one that most people would not read. The interesting thing about this event that is on the very near horizon, the rapture of the church has to take place first. It’s like this, when Christmas decorations starting getting put up, you know that Thanksgiving is near. In the same way, when you see certain prophecies that have to take place before the Gog and Magog war, you know the rapture is near. The rapture is one event that God has let us know about through so many prophecies, but yet, no denominational churches teach anything about the rapture of the church. If everybody knew about the rapture and took it seriously, many would know that there is an urgency to get to know Jesus on a personal level and refrain from this horrible time that is going to follow the rapture of the church. Knowing and understand prophecy doesn’t save you, but it makes very clear how close we are so we can save as many of our friends as we can before it is too late. Once again, if everybody was aware of what is coming, very few would parish, but as we read in the following Bible very, that will not be the case.
Matthew 7:13-14; “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.”
What does it say, narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” If everybody believed, then they would not go through the wide gate. Once again, if we knew the end of the book. Here in lies the biggest issue, no denomination church will teach the book of Revelation. They have no way to know how it all ends. Those of us that have studied the Bible for the last 50 years or so, know exactly what the end teaches, and we are ready.
5 – Massive earthquakes increasing in frequency and intensity.
Matthew 24:7-8; “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The Greek word for “earthquakes” is “seismos” which also covers floods, the sea turbulence, like hurricanes and volcanoes. Having said that, every woman that has had a child knows that birth pains start light and far apart and get stronger and more frequent as the baby is about to be born. We’re in the 3rd trimester! Look at these recent, destructive, “seismic” events, to name a few…
Earthquakes in Morocco and other places
Flood in Libya
Earthquakes and potential volcanic eruption in Iceland
Hurricane Hilary in California
Hurricane Idalia in Florida
There are so many more of these natural phenomena’s that are happening today in comparison to even 30 years ago. God is giving us these warning so that we know that the time of the end is near. God doesn’t want anyone to parish, but the day is coming when He will close the door to salvation through grace.
This is another fascinating verse which has been interpreted through several different perspectives over the years. It falls in the middle of a paragraph describing how a group known as the "sons of God" took human wives who gave birth to a generation of famous "mighty men." Taken in direct context, this verse seems to declare that God will not let humans continue to lead such long lives. Perhaps the children of the "sons of God" and human women would otherwise have gone on living an extraordinarily long time. Or perhaps God is merely saying that even the normal lifespan of humans was too long, given the evil that is taking place on the earth. Considering how much evil man is capable of with a lifetime of less than a century, the capacity for evil over many centuries is immense.
Genesis 6:3’ And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” In either case, God says that He will not allow His Spirit to remain in man forever. God's Spirit, in this sense, seems to be His "breath of life." Humans cannot live without God's Spirit or life-
4 – Global cry for peace and security
1 Thessalonians 5:3; “When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.”
If you’re following what is happening in the Middle Esat, and around other parts of the world, you would know that the world is crying for peace and security like never before. This is one of the major signs of the end times. Here is a verse that I find very interesting:
1 Thessalonians 5:3; “For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.”
I’m not sure what the sudden destruction is that is being referred to here, but I have a very good idea. I won’t share that now, because that would be a whole topic that I could spend hours on. But keep in mind, we are at a point where the world is talking peace and sale like never before. I’ll share to pieces of information that I believe have to happen before the tribulation can start. #1. The Rapture of the true church has to take place. #2. I believe the Gog and Magog war has to take place for obvious reasons that I won’t share right now. I also believe that there will be a short window of peace before these two events that I just shared will happen. But, it will be a short window before all hell breaks loose. Do your own study on this, because this is just my take on what I think is coming soon. Everything that I believe is lining up just as prophesied.
3 – Intoxicating Obsession with dividing Jerusalem
Zechariah 12:1-12; The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. In that day,” says the Lord, “I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.’ In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.
If you are watching the events that are now taking place in Jerusalem, you would clearly see how this prophecy is being fulfilled and about to be complete. That is what is another sin in and of itself for Christian pastors not teaching their congregation about what is going on in Israel. It is a sin of Omission. The denominational churches don’t believe God has a plan for Israel. You have to be completely blind to the truth to accept that doctrine. See, once the rapture takes place, God will once again, turn His attention to the Jews to fulfill the 70th week of Daniel. This is another teaching that would take a lot of time to explain, but this should have been taught in the Christian churches of today, but they are ignored totally. If you know anything about this prophecy, then you would know that the time of the end is near. We know the end of the Book! Side note: if you want to know where we are on Gods prophetic calendar, watch Israel!
2 – Confirming of a 7-year peace agreement with many
Daniel 9:27; “The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”
This verse is describing the beginning of the tribulation period. The Rapture of the true Born Again Christians must happen first! When the ruler of this world (The Antichrist) signs and enforces a peace treaty with Israel for a seven year period, that is the kick off to the Seven Year Tribulation. Once again, if you are following the right news channels, you will see how close we are to that. Side note: Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. There is war going on right now in Israel, but once our new administration takes over, that will end. There may be some bumps in the road, but it will get resolved and that should usher in short period of peace. Again, this is my take on what is happening. It is not etched in stone, but if you are curious and you want to know what is going on in Isarel, go to YouTube and follow (Amir Tsarfati), you will get the absolute truth from Him.
1 – Forming of a one-world religion, government, and economy
Revelation 13:11-18; “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
This is what you can expect to see if you enter this horrible time. There will be a one world religion, one world government and economy. You will cooperate and live by the laws of the Antichrist, or you will be put to death. If you decide to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior at this time, you will most likely be beheaded or put to death somehow. If you take the mark of the Beast (666) you will not be harassed during the first three and a half years of this seven year time, but after 3-1/2 years, you will suffer the wrath of God which will make the Antichrist look like tooth fairy. So, if you chose to enter this time, you will have two choices, Believe on Jesus Christ and be put to death by the Antichrist or take the mark of the Beast and suffer for all eternity. In other words, it will be like, pay me now, or pay me later.
So, my challenge for all of as we come to an end of days, like never before, this is the time to get back to the Bible, to be educated with the full counsel of God. Do not leave out the prophetic parts of the Bible, as most of the denominational churches do, which happens to be about 30%. But remember to encourage people in this world, the hope in Jesus Christ is the only way to find peace. The peace and the life, the only truth, the only way, the only life, the only source of real peace, which is our precious Messiah, Jesus Christ. That’s it. There’s nothing else we can give anyone. Where else can we go, as Peter said, When Jesus told His disciples, “You don’t like what I’m doing, you can leave” and Peter said, John 6:68; “Where can we go?” With you are the words of eternal life.” With you, we know that you are the answer.
All the answers are in the scriptures of the Bible, not religion! So I just want to challenge each of you, tough times are ahead of us and it's going to get tougher. Maybe not right away, but it is sooner than we would like to think. Satan is on the move at so many different levels, terrorism with global Jahad, wars and rumors of war between countries, and natural disasters to mention a few. These are things that are part of the end time scenario, and they are on the rise in strength and frequency, and we know that these are the signs of the very end. So, when you see these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draws near. So, I want to encourage all of you to share this message with as many people as you can. They may say that you have fallen off the deep end, but soon they will know how much you cared about them to share this message. I know, I’ve already lost most of my friends, just as Jesus warned me would happen.
This is not a time to stay ignorant of what God has warned us about. Remember the beginning of this message, “First, Read How It All Turns Out.” This message is to equip you with the wisdom and knowledge that He has shared with all those that will hear the truth. Now, you know what is coming, you have been warned.
(May) Christ dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
God Bless and take care!
