The clock is ticking. The end of time as we know it is fast approaching. The signs are everywhere even in Heaven. Interpreting the end-time divine time-table had led a number of un-spiritually guided Bible scholars to sell or give up their homes, vehicles, electronics and other possessions of comfort with some even leading their members to mass suicide, but the end never came. When exactly is the end-time?
“Assuredly, I say unto you that this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. But of that day and hour, no one knows” (Matt. 24: 34-36). Three audiences are under focus in this write-up. The Jews, the Christian believers and those who have missed the Rapture.
The Jews: “Assuredly, I say unto you that this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” (Matt 24:34) The Jews remain the wall clock of God. “When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel. “For the Lord’s portion is Israel. Jacob is the place of His inheritance” (Deut. 32:8-9, Rev 21:12-14). Israel as a nation is now 52. “A generation is 70” (Pslm. 90:10) – please do the simple arithmetic yourself. The second coming of Jesus before the end of age is primarily for the redemption of the Jews and the remaining elects. Yet “if the number of the Children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved” (Rom. 9:27-28) Will you be one of the remnant? The Christian Believers: A most significant mystery occurs even much earlier before the end of the age – the rapture of the body of Christ. These are the Christian believers both of gentiles and Jews. It marks the disappearance of churches from this earth. Will you be raptured? “For two men will be on the field and one will be taken and the other left” (Matt 24:40) “Strive therefore to enter the straight and narrow gate for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able” (Luke 13:24)
Those who have missed the rapture: Please accept my congratulation in advance for there shall be many abandoned houses and expensive cars with their engines running – including mine, all available freely unto you – for the owners had been raptured. Please take possession of all and celebrate those wonderful windfalls. Under the guiding inspiration of the Holy Spirit we now configure all the prophecies into sequential steps of unparalleled consequences – leading to the ultimate end. At the end time: There will be perilous time Knowledge explosion and global coverage by the WORD of God Famine, pestilences, and earthquakes Wars- nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom. Laying the foundation of the 3rd Temple on Mount Moriah. Isaiah 40:28
The Rapture Constructions of the Temple, re-commencement of the daily, oblation and sacrifices in Jerusalem The man of sin – the anti-Christ sitting in the Temple. Great global war converging on Israel for the total annihilation of Jews. (Luke 21:20) Leading to the war of Armageddon. Armageddon – At the height of the Global war – Shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (As Christ with the mighty forces & warlords of heaven descend down into the valley of Maggido/Jehoffasat with sword-to destroy the conglomeration of global forces surrounding Israel – War of Maggido: Joel 3:9-17. This is the second advent of Christ – Matt. 10:34-35 The elects will now be taken away with Christ.
Now briefly let us examine each of these nine steps leading to the end of age.
Knowledge Explosion: In Biblical ancient times, man traveled on horse back at 20mph. Today race car enthusiasts had hit the astronomic speed of 600 miles per hour at the Boonville salt flats. Both the British and French concord crosses the Atlantic at more than 2000 miles per hour while the spacecraft rockets along 24000 miles per hour. The moon's planet is for long a settled issue for mankind. The current focus of the space science is on Mars, a distant red planet that is 1000 times as distant as the moon. As the red planet drifts into its once every 2 years alignment with the earth in 2007, the first manned space craft will be rocketed on a journey that may last 8 months to reach in an exploratory mission to prepare the planet as a vacation/tourist center for the privileged class that will be able to afford a fare of $1 million - $2 million before the end of the next decade. The first mission is estimated at a whooping cost of $50 billion. The ambition of man is further focused on the long term on Pluto that may take the present Spacecraft 384 months to reach and an imagination of a trip to the nearest Star, Alpha Centauri stationed at an impossible 24 trillion miles away. The nearest star is about 10,000 times as far away as Pluto. If it takes 8 months to reach Mars, it will take 384 months, or 2 yrs to reach Pluto and of course 3, 840,000 months to reach the nearest star. A trip to the nearest star within a human lifetime requires a spacecraft that cruises at more than 10,000 miles a second. Yet man continues his insatiable search for knowledge.
What about the computer technology? The entire world and its movement are now on the internet. I can now sit down in front of my computer and transact my banking business, interact with my investment banker/expert anywhere in the world, conduct my shopping on-line, discuss with my physician, relative, or friend anywhere in the world, and monitor the movement of critical variables of interest to me.
Have you forgotten that dialing the phone brings the whole world within one-minute reach. The entire happening across the Atlantic and Pacific can be viewed as it is happening instantaneously via satellite on your T.V. cable network. On Medical field changes could now be effected in human sex, kidneys are transplanted, corpses are kept alive on life supporting machines for months, surgery are performed on babies in the womb, animals are cloned and concept of life and death re-defined.
Famines: No fewer than ten major famines are mentioned in the Bible. While accurate record of this natural disaster is not available anywhere we know that even during our own century the number of human casualties had remained horrendous. We are aware of over 2 million deaths in Ireland during 1840s when potato crop was struck by mysterious fungus. During World War II, hundreds of thousands of deaths were reported in Leningrad, Warsaw, the Netherlands and Greece through military blockades. In 1943, up to five million deaths were reported in China’s Honan Province. Periodic droughts had continued to claim millions of lives in areas of dense population such as India, China, and Ethiopia and currently in Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, Russia and many other countries of the world. United Nation statistics has this to say:3500 human beings die every 24 hours from hunger, almost eighteen million die of starvation every year, malnutrition’s claims the lives of a quarter of a million of children born yearly throughout the globe due to hunger, starvation and malnutrition. BUT the worst is yet to come.
Pestilence: W.H.O laments that the planet is threatened by a host of new and resurgent diseases. The world is not becoming a safer place. Dr. Davin Heymann, director of the Division of Emerging Disease, who leads WHO’s effort to control the Ebola disease in Zaire is now particularly concerned with bubonic plague, hantavirus, lyme disease and drug resistant stains of gonorrhea. But as virulent as these diseases are, virtually no malady takes center stage as AIDS, Ebola and Cancer claiming millions of lives weekly without any effective medical solution in sight.
Perilous End-Time: One hardly needs to be a Bible scholar or student of prophesy to agree with Paul’s letter to Timothy-II Tim. 3:1-5. that in the end time there shall be a perilous period. You now have the suicide squads all over the world, the jihad fanatics killing daily, the armed robbers, the hired assassins shedding innocent blood daily, the terrorist groups such as hezbolla, you have the growing strengths of mafias in the western world responsible for a number of mysterious deaths, the drug barons killing people in thousands in destruction of opposition to their trade, the expanding population of gays and homosexuals under legalized rights. And of disturbing frequency and dimensions, are children of 10-13 years carrying guns and killing school mates in High Schools for no cause. The entire world is now gripped with violence and fear, but the worst news is the shift of control base of satan and her angels to churches. Churches of endless deceptive names are now springing up in almost every corner under satan incarnated priests and pastors preaching the only gospel of satan-money, prosperity success and fake deliverance to an ignorant human harvest of robbers, adulterers, idolaters, witches, wizards, armed robbers and men of blood. The pregnancy of mother earth is now so heavy of the cry of innocent bloods; rivers are changing their ancient courses and the mighty oceans getting increasingly hostile and volatile violently roaring for the day of the Lord. The good news is that Christ is coming very soon for His own. What other signs are you waiting for? Mankind is evidently at the verge of a major unprecedented mysterious occurrence.
Earthquakes: The recorded 115 earthquakes for the 15th Century is now a child's play to the over 5000 recorded for the 19th Century. The Lord has continued to warn the stone hearted through the mother earth that we are the terminal generation.
Wars: ‘For Nations will rise against Nations and kingdom against Kingdom’ says the Lord. Math 24:7. The first world war had been fought in 1913 and the second world war ended in 1945 with the formation of United Nations as a device to put an end to Wars. Yet over the past 50 years more than three hundred major and minor wars had taken place between tribes, kingdoms, Countries and regions of the world. No mistake, we are not there yet - still on the way to the plain of Jesreel/Meggido. All the wars witnessed by the world so far are skirmishes compared with the third world war which will start shortly after the rapture and end with the Ammaggedon. Since man cannot put an end to war it is imminent that war will put an end to mankind.
Laying the Foundation of the third Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem: “Who says to Cyrus, he is my shepherd and he shall perform all my pleasure, saying to Jerusalem, - you shall be built, And to the temple - your foundation shall be laid” Isaiah 44: 28. Indeed Jerusalem had been rebuilt but listen to the word of Yasser Arafat as he left Palestine today to attend the peace summit conveyed for Egypt to stop the renewed violence in the middle East. “We are going to sharm el-sheik but taking with us the condition of Palestinian people”. We are on the way to Jerusalem until a Palestinian child raises the Palestinian flag on the walls of Jerusalem”. The Palestinian replied him, chanting “with our blood, and with our soul we will defend you.”
Israel Prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in a relentless search for peace was assassinated on Nov. 4, 1995 without achieving the Peace. Binyamin Netanyalu had come and gone without leaving any impact on the corridor of Peace. From Camp David, Maryland USA to Paris and today 10/16/00 in Egypt Ehud Barak of Israel and Yasser Arafat of Palestine had remained horn-locked over who takes over Jerusalem. Within the last two weeks of renewed violence over 100 Palestinians and five Israelites have been killed. The battle is for the Temple Mount on which the third holiest Mosque of the Moslems Al-aqsa now sits restlessly. Israel needs the same site for the construction of the third temple as provided by the word of God. The Arab world is secretly mobilizing with the Hezbolla to defend the Palestinias and protect the mosque but the Lord has said that the foundation of the third Temple must be laid on the same spot of Moriah where the Dome of the Rock/Mosque is sitting.- (the first temple built by Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonias and the second built by Herod was demolished and burnt by Titus and the Roman Legion). How will it happen? Most likely there will soon be a volcano eruption bringing down the Mosque for the Temple. Follow the event in that God’s own Country . This is a critical moment revealing the footsteps of God’s immutable WORD on that Express lane leading to imminent RAPTURE.
The Rapture: “Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these tribulations that will come to pass, and to stand before the son of man.” Luke 21:36. “And the end of things is at hand, therefore be serious and watchful in your prayer. “1 Pet. 4:7. “Behold I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. “1 Cor 15: 51-52. As mystifying as man’s trip to the moon and ultimately to Mars might be there is a much greater astonishment that will very soon reveal the oldest and possibly the greatest secrets of God’s word – it is the Rapture. The sudden snatching away, translation or disappearance of the true Christ believers from the world. It will happen suddenly and very soon too – when the Moslem world and the world in general are still lamenting and planning on how to react against Israel on the eruption on Mount Moriah – Christ will appear in the sky amidst the fiesta and galaxy of angels with Holy Michael – the warlord of Heaven blowing the Great Trumpet to ignite the raising of the dead and the translation of the elects that are still living; - they will all be instantaneously magnetized to catch up with the divine host of Heavens in the sky for a glorious trip to Heaven – the kingdom of Peace, love and eternity. When it happens suddenly the entire world will be thrown into a state of consternation, mouths agap, Airplanes dropping off the sky as the pilots are snatched off, trains running off their tracks, multi-compound automobile accidents happening on all roads as drivers of some trains/vehicles are raptured with their vehicles running amock. CNN and other electronic and print medias will come out with reports of scientists blaming disappearance on some massive UFO, Epidemic or strange Cyclone snatching or kidnapping away the missing people. Pastors of satan in churches will ask their congregation to rejoice for the flushing to the unknown world of enemies of the church. Heads of Governments will hurriedly order out members of the armed forces, the Police, the FBI, Interpol, the fire brigade and ambulances in search and rescue operation of the missing people – space crafts will be blasted into the sky and ships and divers unto the seas for the marathon search. But alas, the unbelieving, lazy and empty Christians who are neither hot nor cold in their worship and service to God, having missed the rapture will gnash their teeth and weep bitterly, as they are now left with no other option than to prepare themselves for the trauma and woeful agony, severe tribulation that will usher in the third World War ending with the Amaggedon. ‘And two shall be on the field, and one shall be taken and the other left.” Matt.24:40.“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation and tribulation that shall come upon the whole world.” Rev 3:10. For the lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we that are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the lord.” 1 Tess 4: 16-17.
You must endeavor to be raptured to escape the woeful agonies of the third World War, the horrifying pains of killer diseases, the devastating height of famine, perpetual anguish and gripping fear – day and night under the uncontrollable dominion of anti-Christ agents such as assassins, armed robbers, terrorists, witches, wizards and occultists that will virtually take control of the world immediately after the rapture of Christ’ Grace and His elects from this earth. To miss the rapture is to reduce your chances of eternal life to that of Camel struggling to pass through the eye of a needle. Serve God with all your strength, keep an unflinching faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, indulge in total love and peace with all people and withdraw from all acts of unrighteousness. YOU ARE WARNED.
What follows after the Rapture – look out for our concluding part – “The Final Strike of Doom’s day”. – also an inspired end-time unveiling of sequence of God’s mystery. Commencement of the real period of Tribulation .The seven trumpets of God’s wrath discharged one after the other upon the earth. Rev:8&9 Completion of the Temple, resumption of daily oblation and sacrifices … and installation of the man of sin – the anti-Christ in the temple (Dan. 11-34, Matt.24:15, II Tess. 2:3-4) Formation of one World Government, one world religion and one world economy.
Seven Years covenant and the count down. The break down of the seven year covenant mid way. Commencement of the Third world war – ending with the Amaggedon. “In the next world war none of those left in the world would be able to count on having enough living to bury their dead.” “The next world war would be an irreversible and fatal occurrence. It would not be the end of difficulties but the end of civilization – Pope Paul VI. The Amaggedon – “Prepare War, wake up the mighty men …..Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near. The Sun and the Moon shall be darkened and the Stars shall withdraw their shinning. The Lord also shall roar from Zion and utter His voice out of Jerusalem; and the Heavens and the Earth hall shake.” Joel 3:9 – 17. This great War will accompany the second advent of Christ for the Deliverance of the Remnants of elects among Jews and Believers of Christ. This is the first resurrection for the godly and first death for the ungodly. Matt 24: 29-31, Dan 12: 1-2, Rev. 19 & 20. Satan chained down in the bottomless Pit for 1000 years and subsequently released for a brief period. Rev: 20. THE ultimate Harvest of the World.
As you celebrate this years Harvest please take this message very seriously, believe today in the Gospel, make a complete “U” turn unto the way of righteousness and be saved. May the good Lord Jesus Christ bless you with His holy Spirit and certify you with His Blood for Eternal Salvation. Amen.
