BIBLE MEDITATION:
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11
ENCOURAGING WORD:
Do you know what Napoleon said about China? "There lies a sleeping giant, and let him sleep, because if he awakens, he will shake the world." I believe that Satan is saying that same thing about the church as of the last couple decades. And I believe the church is just that: A Sleeping Giant. Those that call themselves Christians are asleep because most of the church has been deceived and blinded by the spirit of this age (which is Satan) in the last few decades, .
2 Corinthians 4:4; “The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
We also read in the following verses; “2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
The coming of the Lord in the verse above I believe is referring to the rapture of the church. The falling away is in reference to what we are witnessing today in America. So many of today’s Pastors and Priests have fallen away from the truth of the scriptures, in other words, they are watering down the scriptures to pacify those that don’t want to hear the truth. This is referred to as the “Great Apostasy” which I believe is in full swing in our world today. You may think that you are hearing truth from the denominational church that you attend, but the truth of the matter is, most likely you are not. But here is my concern, you won’t know until you dive into the scriptures of the Bible yourself to know the truth.
Besides all the false doctrine that we are hearing from the pulpits of today, we are also being bombarded on every side by all kinds of amusements. Do you know what amuse means? It's a combination of two words. Muse means to think, and the alpha prefix in front of it means "not to." (Not to think) We are getting involved in many organizations and groups, none of which bringing us closer to Jesus Christ. Many of these so called groups and organizations are all about how to live a happy and prosperous life, when in reality, they will all end on a dead end road. These are all distractions from what is really important in our spiritual walk. We are a generation that is amusing ourselves into oblivion. And it's time to wake up! I hear so many people say to me: "I don't believe that Jesus is coming back soon, therefore, I want to have fun as I can before I commit my life to God.” That, my friends, is the most foolish attitude that one can have, especially in the days in which we live. First of all, giving our life to Jesus Christ does not mean we have to stop living and enjoying life. In reality, we will enjoy life more knowing where our final destination will be. If you are a believer, you take away the fear of death for one thing. If you are living in a sinful lifestyle for a season, because you believe that Jesus will not come back soon, that is more dangerous than playing Russian Roulette. Do you want to live the life that God prepared for you, or do you want to live the life that you choose for yourself? I know exactly what I am talking about because I chose my own lifestyle for the first forty years of my life. If God had come back in the seventies and eighties, I would have been left behind to face the most horrific time in human history. I just thank God that He tarried as long as He has. When He finally called me, it was then that I submitted my life to Jesus Christ. It was the best choice that I had ever made. Don’t get me wrong, I thought I was on top of the world for a while during my younger life, but in all reality, I was heading for the lowest parts of hell. Friends, life is a vapor, you won't be here forever, in fact you don't have any idea what tomorrow may bring.
See, back then I knew nothing at all about the Bible. The religious sect that I followed didn’t teach me the truth, therefore, I didn’t know the truth. I had no idea what the Bible taught about true salvation and end times. But, as of about thirty years ago, the Holy Spirit reached out to me to teach me what was about to come to fruition. What was interesting to me was this, Everything that I was reading about back then, is now happening at an exponential rate. Thirty years ago, I was reading about the previews of what was coming, now I feel as if am watching the movie in full color. The things that I was reading about, I didn’t think would happen until after I passed away. I now believe that’s not the truth. I’ve studied Bible prophecy for thirty years under some of the greatest Bible scholars in the world. With the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, everything started to make sense and was becoming clear as glass.
The number one sign of the end days in which we live is the regathering of the Jews back to their own homeland, just as Jesus Christ Prophesied would happen. Jesus said it, it happened, imagine that! We read in the following Bible verse where we get a strong message from Jesus Christ. I’ll share this with you and explain to the best of my knowledge what it is referring to.
In; Matthew 24:32-35; “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
Part of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, He uses the fig tree as a metaphor to teach about recognizing the signs of the times as He speaks about the end times and His second coming. The fig tree holds significant symbolism in Jewish culture and biblical references, often representing Israel or God’s people.
These verses are a powerful reminder from Jesus that we should always be vigilant and observant of the signs around us, as they may indicate the coming of important events, such as His soon return. It serves as a call to action for believers to stay connected to their faith and remain aware of the signs that point towards significant spiritual occurrences. We can better prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus Christ and continue in our journey of spiritual growth and righteousness by being attuned to these signs.
I’ll explain this in a way that we shoulds all be able to understand. Like it says, the Fig Tree is a metaphor for the Jewish people. Jesus is telling His disciples that when they see the return of Israel to their home land, that is the starting point to the last days as we would know them. The generation that sees this event, which was on May 14, 1948, would see all end time Bible prophecy fulfilled. Then we read how long a generation is.
Psalm 90:10; “The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Throughout history, a generation could vary. We read where a generation was once 100 years, then we read where a generation was well over 100 years. I’m sure that Jesus was speaking about the generation that would be present when Israel was regathered as a nation, which we just read is 70-80 years. With this information, it has been 76 years since 1948. So, if we take the Bible literally, we are very close to the rapture of the church. Jesus’s second coming where He returns to earth with His Saints to set up his million year millennial reign, would fulfill all prophecy to that point. That will take place right after the tribulation period.
Amos 3:7 tells us, “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”
God spoke to the prophets of old about everything that was going to take place before it happened. Most of the prophets of the Old Testament were rejected or hated and even put to death by the religious leaders because they didn’t like the messages that God gave them to preach. Every message that God sent that was scoffed at or mocked at, had horrible consequences to those that ignored the truth. One example in the scriptures is the prophet Jeremiah. The prophet Jeremiah continued prophesying the unpopular message of the sins and downfall of his nation. He told them, if they didn’t repent, a Babylonian invasion was inevitable, yet they didn’t take his message seriously and sure enough, Babylon conquered Israel and they went into captivity for seventy years. This is just one of many examples of ignoring Gods Word that He sent to the world through His prophets. Another one that had catastrophic consequences is the story of Noah’s Ark. All but eight people were destroyed in the flood because they didn’t heed the warning that judgment was coming.
Today, in America, those that God has chosen to share His message of salvation and prophecy are sharing the same warnings from God, and people are ignoring them and mocking them just as they did in the past. If everybody knew anything at all as to what is happening in our world, they would have to be a fool to ignore what is coming. The problem is, churchs of today are not preparing their congregations of what is on the very near horizon.
Let me give you a scenario that everybody should understand in light of the hurricanes that have popped up as of lately. What if a category five hurricane was to hit within a couple of days, and nobody warned you about it. From what we have seen, that results of these hurricanes have been catastrophic to say the least. Many people died, especially those that didn’t take the warning. If nobody had any warning about this monstrous hurricane, how many more people would have perished in this storm. Even more ridiculous would it be if they were warned and didn’t leave. They would most likely have perished. You would certainly say, how stupid can they be? Well, God, the Creator of the Universe who knows the beginning of time to the end is warning us of events that are coming in the very hear future. Yet about 90% of Americans are ignoring the signs that God told us to watch for. If you are one of that 90%, you are a fool and you will be caught off guard when these things come to fruition and you will most likely parish. Here is the problem. Ask someone if they believe in God, most people will say yes, but do they really. If you believe in God, then shouldn’t you take His word more seriously, of course you should. You will have absolutely no excuse when all these things come to fruition.
We read in; 1 Peter 2:9; “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;”
Peter is referring to those of today that are watching the signs of the times and are very aware of the days in which we live. But once again, just as in the days of old, we are being laughed at and mocked and even hated for our witness of Jesus Christ. The warnings that God is sending these days to His modern day messengers will have catastrophic consequences in the very near future because America is asleep. We think America will just continue to be a super power and nothing can happen to us. What gives us the audacity to think we will not fall into judgement for all the evil that we have brought to the world. We are the modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, and if you are familiar with how judgement came upon them, then you will understand why God has to judge America. There are thousands of born-again Christians trying to warn our country of the inevitable judgement that is coming, but just as in the days of Noah, very few people are listening.
This verse in 2 Peter is forewarning us that this is the way it will be in the end days, and yes, we are there. 2 Peter 3:4; tells us, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”
This is exactly what is being said today from many Christians and unbelievers alike. The Christians that are giving up on the return of Jesus are those that were never true Christians in the first place. The reason being, is because they are not being taught the truth about the end days from the denominational churches that they have attended for most of their lives. They have lost their focus on the soon return of Jesus Christ because they have been sold a bill of lies from the modern-day pulpits that Jesus is not coming back to set up His earthly kingdom. Jesus is coming back, and He is coming back soon, so don’t let anybody tell you anything different.
Here is another warning from God that we are witnessing almost on a daily basis. Satan is getting desperate; he knows his time is nearing an end. 2 John 10-13; “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” Verse 7 tells us what to look for, “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
Two sects of religion that I know of right up front that are guilty of this are the Mormons and the Jehovah Witnesses. If they knock on your door, send them away immediately. Don’t give Satan any chance at all of deceiving you. They take a few scriptures from the Bible, twist them around and then build a false gospel. And yes, they sound convincing. Remember, Satan is very cleaver. If you don’t know the truth of the scriptures, you will very likely fall into one of these camps. Camps that will without a doubt will send you to hell for all eternity.
If your denomination of Christianity tells you that Jesus is not coming back, read the verse that I just read above, it is the Word of God. Are you going to believe the Word of God, or are you going to believe the lies that you are hearing from the pulpits of America? Jesus is coming back, and it will be right after the Great Tribulation which is another truth that we are not being taught. Do you believe that the Word of God is inherent and 100% truth,if so, then why would you not believe Gods Word that is so clearly stated above? It says what it means, and it means what it says, Jesus is coming back, and He is coming back to set up His One Million Year rule from Jerusalem from the throne of David.
I recently saw on a bumper sticker with the following message. It said, “Nobody is coming back, we are on our own” If this ignorant person had any sense, he would see how evil the world is getting and how it is getting progressively worse. Obviously he is an unbeliever, or He never read the Bible. Hear what Jesus said to put this stupidity to rest. 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.” Jesus is talking about the time just before His return at the end of the seven year tribulation. Things are going to be so bad, that if Jesus didn’t return, no life would be spared.
Here is a disturbing thought. If you don’t believe that the Bible is the true and inerrant Word of God, then you have nothing to build truth on. That, my friends is the biggest issue of today. An even bigger disturbance is the fact that even if you attend a so-called Christian church, there is a good chance that you are still not hearing the truth anyways. It is so pivotal that we all read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit guide us through truth, otherwise there is no way that we will know for sure if what we are being taught is the truth.
I’m going to share my personal witness to what I just said. I was brought up as a Lutheran and I thought I was a pretty good boy. If someone asked me if I thought I was going to heaven, my reply was, “Yes”. I was taught, if my good deeds outweighed my bad deeds, I would go to heaven. I believed this to be the truth for forty years. Then one day as I was leaving church, I felt a tug at my heart and a message from the Holy Spirit. It was definitely a wakeup call for me. The message that I received was, “Okay, you have been a part of a religious sect of Christianity for long enough. Now it’s time for you to get into my Word.” So, I took this message seriously and started that night reading the Bible. I starting reading in Genesis. It took me one year to get through the whole Bible. Did I learn much, “No” but I learned enough to know that I had to start over and read it again with more intensity the second time through. Truth starting penetrating my mind, heart and soul. The bottom line as to not get to deep into this is; I was being lied to by my Pastor all those years that I would go to heaven if I was good. If the Holy Spirit did not get may attention that day, and if I rejected His request, I would most certainly have ended up in hell. It’s sad to say, but this is the destination for those that think good deeds will get you into heaven. I’ll share this very important and untaught verse from the Word of God.
Ephesians 2:8-9; “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
This one verse is very clear that good works does not save you. Of course, If you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and become born again, good works will be evident in your life, not because you have to, but because you want to. It will come natural. If you say that you believe and then you still live a sinful lifestyle, then your confession of faith was false. God knows what is in your heart. Now, for those of you that knew me before I became Born again, and you know me now, you should know that something supernatural has had to happen. I’m not the same guy that I was thirty years ago, which is probably why I lost most of my friends. I’m okay with this because of what Jesus told me. John 15:18; “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.” I’m in great company. Wouldn’t you agree? Would you rather be loved by Jesus or the world. That decision was easy for me.
Now let me share another experience with you that I was very disturbed about. Once I became born again and very familiar with the Bible and the truth therein, I started to check out Roman Catholicism. I started to attend a few services. At first I got the impression that it seemed quite spiritual. But as time went on and I started to learn the depth of what Catholicism was all about, I was concerned for those that I knew, because they were being taught a lot of false doctrine that isn’t supported in the scriptures of the Bible. Without getting into all the false teaching, this is the thing that put me over the edge. When I wanted to take communion, or the Eucharist as the Catholics refer to it as, I was denied it because I wasn’t of the Catholic faith. I knew the Bible well enough to know that there is nowhere in the scriptures that give any sect of Christianity the right to deny the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Basically by doing this, they were denying me salvation. That, my friends is a sign of a cult. “A system of religious beliefs and rituals’ Before you get all bet out of shape, prove to me that I am wrong. Ask your priest if a lutheran can partake of the Eucharist. If he says "no" then think twice about what you are a part of. Jesus died for every believer, not just Catholics. True Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with Jesus Christ.
One of the greatest lies that Satan has brough onto the human race is that religion can save you. By “religion,” I mean adherence to the beliefs and practices of a religion in the hope that your performance will gain you right standing with God. Whether it is Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and even Christianity, there have always been millions who mistakenly thought that obedience to their religion would earn them eternal life.
I’m going to share something again that will upset many people, but something that needs to be shared. I watch various YouTube videos. I’m very selective of which ones I listen to. I know who are those we can trust and those that are false prophets or teachers. In the end days, which we are in, one of the things the Antichrist is going to enforce is a one world religion. There will be the Antichrist and a false prophet that will turn people to worship the Antichrist. The reason I bring this up is this, and you better listen up or at least do your own research. I heard a quote from the Pope where he said, “All religions lead to God.” Before I go on, let me read to you a verse from the Bible, the true Word of God. John 14:6; “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
If indeed the Pope did make that statement, which it appears he did, you need to ask yourself this very important question. “Who do I believe…God or the Pope.” Very simple question with a very simple answer. If you have any sense, ask yourself another question. Who was the only one who paid for my sins. Did Mohammed? Did Budda? Did any of the other false prophet pay for your sins? No, how can you find out. Check out all the graves of all these false prophets, they are full of bones. Check out Jesus’s grave. It is empty. Jesus was the only one who could open the gates of heaven where we can now go because of the price He paid for us. If you are a catholic, I suggest that you search this topic to find out for yourself. If you hear him say this and you stay loyal to the Catholic faith, then you’re going to be sucked into the tribulation and suffer unbelievably for the choice that you made. I don’t enjoy sharing this kind of message, but I have a lot of Catholic friends, or at least I did have. I don’t want them to be deceived and go through the worst time in human history or even worse, hell! If you don’t want to believe me, that is fine with me, I’m not responsible for your salvation, I can only plant seeds as God has commissioned me to do.
I hope you will at least believe what Jesus had to say in the following Bible verses. Matthew 24: 21; “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Jesus is describing what it will be like during the tribulation. If you don’t believe me, I understand, but if you don’t believe Jesus Christ, then you have some very serious issues. We, in America, need to wake up before it is too late. Based on the events of our election, I believe we might have an awakening and a little time to get right with Jesus Christ. But I wouldn’t wait another day, because we really don’t know what a day will bring.
I’m going to end this message with what I believe is in the very near future. This is what I have been sharing for about ten years or so. I may be wrong, but based on what the Bible prophesies that will happen in the end days just before the return of Jesus Christ, this could very well be how the days ahead play out. First of all, I believed that we have to have a short window of peace before all hell broke loose. Even during the last four years, with as bad as it looked, I still felt that something had to happen to bring about a possible revival. Now, with the results of the election, and the fact that we now have a Christian administration that supports Israel, I believe this to be true. You may not see things this way, because you most likely have been deceived by the Social Media for quite a while now. That will change too. The number one key to peace and prosperity in American is Israel. Israel is at war right now, why, because of our current administration, Israel can’t do what they need too, to gain victory over their enemies, which happen to be the most powerful terrorist groups in the world. We have been sending aide to these two terrorist groups and at the same time, we have been negligent in supporting Israel from doing what they need to do. Now that we have an administration that will break the chains of oppression in Israel and allow Israel to defend themselves the way they need to, Israel will finish the job and because America will once again be a strong ally, Israel will be able to live in what they feel would be a peaceful environment. Once our new administration takes over, we will be just that, a powerful nation and a strong ally of Israel. Israel will defeat Hezbollah and Hamos and will once and for all be free of the constant attacks from these two evil terrorist groups. Because of our stand with Israel, God will also bless America, at least until the next main event that will take place. I feel we will witness a short time of peace, how short, I do not know. It could be a year, in could be a couple years, but I believe this event that I am talking about could possibly take place in the next four years. Once again, I could be wrong, but let me explain why I say this. The Bible says in;
1 Thessalonians 5:3; “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
This verse is what makes me believe that while we are living in somewhat of a peaceful environment, the rapture will take place which will cause sudden destruction. I believe this verse is in reference to the rapture of the church because it is in these verses that are describing the rapture. When the rapture takes place, and it will, that will certainly bring about world Chaos and will most likely turn America into a third world country over night. Those that are unbelievers, and there will be many, will finally get what they wanted, a world without God. Without God protecting us with His full hedge of protection, America will fall. After the rapture, then there will be no nation that will stand will Israel, because the Christians will be gone. I believe that sometime between the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation period, another huge war will breakout in Israel, which the Bible refers to as the Battle of Gog and Magog. It will be a Russian lead coalition of Islamic nations that will go up against Israel, and because they have been living peacefully for a short time, they will be living in unwalled villages, just as the scriptures describe. Hear what the following verse has to say about this.
Ezekiel 38:10-12; “‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind (Russia), and you (Russia) will make an evil plan: You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; (Israel) I will go to a peaceful people, (The Jews) who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’, to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.”
This is why I believe the next couple of years will be peaceful in Israel and America. They have to be living in peace before the Gog and Magog war can take place. This has to take place before the tribulation can start. Let me explain why I say this. This war can’t be during the tribulation, because the trigger point to the start of the tribulation will be when the Antichrist signs a seven year peace treaty with Israel. Once this treaty is signed, no one will be able to go up against then, therefore, that is the reason why I believe this war will happen before the Antichrist comes on the scene.
Now comes the interesting part. When all seems to be lost and Israel has their backs up against the wall, they will cry out to the Lord, and the Lord will hear them. God Himself, will intervene on behalf of Israel and Israel will be victorious over the Russian lead coalition that went up against Israel. We read this fact in the following Bible verse;
Ezekiel 38:18-23; “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog (Russia) comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”
This invasion will look like the biggest mismatch in the history of warfare. It will make the Arab invasions of 1967 and 1973 pale in comparison. When Russia puts together this last-days strike force, it looks as if Israel will be finished. However, God is in total control of the situation, mounting up in HIs fury to destroy these godless invaders as we read in Ezekiel 38:18; He (God) will come to rescue His helpless people, using four methods to destroy the armies of Gog and Magog:
He will bring about a great earthquake, Ezekiel 38:19-20.
Infighting will occur among the troops of the nations. Ezekiel 38:21. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the armies will turn against each other, bringing about the largest carnage of death by “friendly fire” in human history.
As a result, diseases will break out and spread, killing the remaining forces. Ezekiel 38:22.
There will be torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur poured on whoever is left of this decimated army. Ezekiel 38:22.
No one at this time will say that this was an all-natural coincidence, “climate change,” or any other excuse to explain this victory. The eyes of many will be opened to the fact that what had happened was the benevolent act of God on behalf of His people.
Scripture tells of the aftermath of the battle with the arrival of “the birds of the air” and “the beasts of the field” to devour the flesh of the dead, Ezekiel 39:4-5; “You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. You shall [b]fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God.”
Revelation 19:17-18; “Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
There will also be a time of massive clean-up of the land that will take seven months, including the burial of the dead and the removal of weapons by having them burned, which will take three and a half years to complete.
Ezekiel 39:11-12; “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog. For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.”
Ezekiel 39:9-10; “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the [a]javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
In the midst of this wrath, God uses it to bring numerous Jews and Gentiles to salvation.
Ezeki3l 38-39 is one of the most amazing prophecies in the Bible, and looking around, it seems like everything predicted is about to come to pass. Russia and its Islamic allies are the key players in this prophecy and will be the places to closely watch as the passage of time brings us closer to the “Blessed Hope” of Christ’s glorious return, Luke 21:28; “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Luke 21:28; is telling us that when we see this war approaching, look up, for our redemption draws near. If you are a true Christian and believer in the scriptures, its time to look up, for the soon return of Jesus Christ is at the door.
Now, is when I share what I believe will happen right after this war concludes. The Jewish people will now know that God is their heavenly Father and will turn their spiritual eyes toward heaven. Here is when it gets very interesting. This is what I believe will happen as a result of the Gog and Magog war. Since Israel will be looking more intensely for their Messiah, this is when I believe the Antichrist will appear with all the answers to all the evil that was part of our world. The Jews will accept the Antichrist as their Messiah at this time, and this is when I believe the Antichrist will sign a seven year peace treaty with Israel. The Jews will be living in peace from this point on for at least three and a half years and that is why I believe the Gog and Magog war has to precede the beginning of the tribulation. Unfortunately, three and a half years into the peace treaty, the Antichrist will enter the Holy of Holies and claim to be God, and that is when all hell will break loose. This is when the Antichrist will for the last time, try to destroy Gods chosen people. It will be a horrible time for all those that took the mark of the beast also. Now, I do not feel as if I know all the details which transpire during this time, other than to say this, God will spiritually protect those that are His.
I will end here because from this point on, I’m not sure of all the details during this time. Read Revelation 15-18, to get an idea of how bad this time will be. You won’t understand, but you will get a very good idea of how horrible it will be. You might know then that you don’t want to be here during this time. When you read these verses, keep in mind, you don’t have to be here. You have a choice now to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and escape this horrible time.
One more thing I need to mention. There is a religious sect of Chrictianity that says all these events already happen in the book of Revelation. Anybody that has any biblical knowledge what-so-ever can see that these thing never happend. This is why these things are going to come upon people without any warning, because their sect of Christianity has neglected to telll them the truth. Shame on those of you that are teaching this lie.
We read in Luke 21:36; “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Do you want to escape all these things, it is your choice to make?
I want to make one thing perfectly clear. The events that I described are events that I know will come to fruition, the sequence in how they play out, I’m not sure, but they sure make sense according to the scriptures of the Bible.
May God guide you through truth in the coming days. Trust no church, trust no teacher, trust no religious sect of Christianity, trust only God. The Bible is His true and inerrant Word written to us. Aside of Gods Word, there is no hope.
He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”
Amen and Amen!
