DOES GOD WANT US TO UNDERSTAND OUR TIME IN HISTORY LEADING UP TO THE LORDS RETURN ? DO THE SCRIPTURES REVEAL ONLY ONE UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE TIME OF THE LORDS PERSONAL RETURN TO THE EARTH ? July 29, 2013 God considers Biblical Prophecy to be extremely important. This becomes clear when we understand that the scriptures regarding the prophetic words of God constitute almost one third of the entire Bible. Gods credibility is based on “His Word” in which He puts above His Name..[David wrote]..Psalm 138:2......”for thou has magnified thy word above thy name.” Bible prophecy purposes throughout, to deliver a message of hope and promise of the revelation of Jesus Christ in all His glory. Though hundreds of prophecies have come to pass pertaining to people, places, and other things throughout scripture, there are many prophetic details leading up to and surrounding the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ yet to be fulfilled in these last days. Above all else, Bible prophecy reveals our Lord Jesus Christ and ultimately the Majesty of who He is. According to Revelation 19:1-10 in context; .......v.10 ..... the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. This means that Jesus Christ is the “apex”of Bible prophecy. We learn here to clearly recognize that Jesus Christ is the highest point of interest and anticipation of which all Bible prophecy points to for those in Christ Jesus. Bible prophecy as God intended actually serves to demonstrate His sovereignty over the heavens and earth, the seas, and all the life therein. The reality of prophetic fulfillment past, present, and future demonstrates God’s power and authority regarding His eternal purposes. Bible prophecy at the core emphasizes the “centrality of Jesus Christ” our only Savior, Lord, and King for ever and ever. The plan of redemption that God provided through His only begotten Son produces true and everlasting hope and personal purity for every person who obeys the gospel according to the Word of God. Jesus, sitting on the Mount of Olives was asked questions privately by his disciples concerning His second coming and the signs that would precede His return and the end of the age. In Matthew 24:3-13; Jesus answers the questions of the disciples and describes to them several signs that will unfold and occur that we are to pay attention to while we are cultivating our fellowship and knowledge of Him on a daily basis. Jesus did not leave the disciples clueless back then nor did He leave us guessing in our present lifetime. These signs are currently converging upon us simultaneously in our lifetime and increasing with more intensity at an accelerated pace. Matt. 24:4-12...........(confirmed activity marked by the asterisk * ) 1.) “Take heed that no man deceive you”.... DECEPTION is abounding both in the “Religious” and “ Government” institutions at all levels .....* 2.) “For many will come in my name saying I am Christ”.....there are many “religious” and deceptive leaders in the world that actually believe they are christ’s or messiah’s......the scope of this evil thinking broadens even more when we are made aware and also understand the stated goals of those caught up in the New Age spirituality. They are convinced that their destiny is to become or evolve into “gods”. Those scientist within the Trans-humanist camp are also researching ways to become “gods” through genetic engineering and DNA enhancement technologies .... * 3.) “And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars”...... There are wars in the middle east including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Israel, Democratic Republic of the Congo are among the 16 current wars happening right now...... Rumors of war .......Iran, North Korea, China, Russia etc...not to mention that both Mexico and the United States could be facing their own inner conflict of Civil War in the near future...* 4.) “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom....* 5.) “There shall be famine”........this has been happening in Africa over the last 20 years...... ...Ethiopia famine caused by drought; Congo Wars.. 3.8 million people died of starvation and disease, Sudan famines caused by war and drought; famine is occurring right now in Somalia because of drought and war......N. Korea had an estimated 600,000 die of starvation in 1996* 6.) [There shall be] ....”pestilences” (disease) Infectious Diseases Worldwide ; Cholera, Hepatitis B, Influenza, Malaria, Measles, Meningitis, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever to name a few. * 7.) [There shall be] .....”earthquakes in different places”......According to the U.S. Geological Survey there are approximately one million detectible earthquakes around the world every year. Of these 1,000,000 approximately 1/10th are large enough to be felt by humans. This means on any given DAY there will be on average 275 earthquakes around the world that can be felt. Around one hundred earthquakes a year are large enough to cause damage. Most of these occur in unpopulated areas where people are not present and sometimes on the floors of the oceans. There are about 15 Major earthquakes around the world every year .The magnitude of these earthquakes range between 7.0 and 7.9. * There are four different types of earthquakes: 1.) A (tectonic earthquake) is one that occurs when the earth’s crust breaks due to geological forces on rocks. 2.) A (volcanic earthquake) is any earthquake that results from tectonic forces which occur in conjunction with volcanic activity. There has been a dramatic increase in volcanic activity. 3.) A (collapse earthquake) are small earthquakes in underground caverns and mines. 4.) An (explosion earthquake) is an earthquake that is the result of a detonation of a nuclear and/or chemical device. 8.) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake............More Christians have been persecuted over the past 100 years than all previous centuries combined together since the church began. The world and some religious organizations today are becoming increasingly hostile and murderous toward Biblical Christianity and those who hold to the truth of Biblical teachings and doctrine including the scriptures revealing prophetic expectations and promises from God to be fulfilled concerning His people . * The world agencies and governments are preparing themselves strategically for the coming slaughter of both Biblical Christians and others that will not subscribe to or embrace the coming changes (already well underway) forthcoming of the New World Order that will usher in the man of sin (anti-christ) with great deception (2 Thess.2:9-10) who will rule over the nations of men and resources for a short time according to Revelation chapter 13. Reports from credible eye-witness accounts and other sources that has been done with diligence have disclosed the fact and presence of foreign troops for the past few years already on U.S. soil operating here under the guise of routine military training . FEMA Camps have been identified all over the U.S. Several of them former military installations/bases that had previously been ordered to be closed over the course of the last 40 - 50 years. Some designated wooded areas on active National Guard bases have been designed and dedicated as detention centers for U.S. citizens as well. All these places totaled over time we now have FEMA/ detention/internment concentration camp facilities numbering in the hundreds; some have reported as many as 800. These so-called FEMA Camps are actually for the purpose of an eventual uprising by U.S. citizens that is anticipated to occur in reaction to a major event that could be real or most likely manufactured that’s coming to not just the United States but globally . The U.S. Federal government has been amassing large amounts of ammunition stock piling them in storage facilities and strategically building and placing an inventory of Military hardware and weapon’s of war all over the U.S. This includes but not limited to armored personal carriers and military tanks originally developed for war against our nations enemies. There is a mandate and a concerted effort to bring about the demise of our Country, our way of life and the destruction of our sovereignty as a people and nation. If people resist or reject the coming New World Order they will either be killed in some fashion with no limitation of the instruments used and means thereof, or if the case may be certain persons will be kept alive to serve the global One World system but not before these people are locked up in a FEMA Camp to be mentally reprogrammed in these facilities and also quite possibly genetically altered somewhere and become hopelessly enslaved by the Global Elite and their future diabolical evil agenda that is planned. A few words/ comment and encouragement to ponder so to draw your own conclusions. Chances are you have been slightly awakened and taken away from your “happy place”. 1.) None of us in any way, shape, or form wants to ever see and experience these kind of [Horrific] things happening to us or anyone we care about. 2.) The most important way to prepare for the flood of evil that God declares will happen and is coming upon mankind is to be right with God through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and become strong spiritually in the Lord through the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit. If you do not obey the gospel according to the scriptures before your time to die, there is no hope after death for you apart from being in Christ before your physical death on earth. If the devil and evil men don’t kill you first, then God will kill you Himself ( and rightfully so) because you did not obey the truth of the gospel. (2 Thess. 1:7-10) 3.) Just to be clear for some who may be ignorant as to what many in the church could eventually face. A major portion of prophecy must be fulfilled before Jesus Christ returns to gather us up unto Himself as the Bride of Christ, (true believers) who join Him in the clouds. If you read (1 Thess. 5:1-12) in the KJV, carefully, it basically tells us as believers in Christ that the “Day of the Lord” will catch the ungodly world by surprise -unsuspecting and unprepared as if they had the experience of the thief (analogy)overtaking them. But we as believers in Christ according to verses 4-5 will not be overtaken or surprised because we already know what God said ( or we should). We that are children of God through Christ Jesus have “illumination and knowledge” .....we are children of light and of the day. In other words we are informed in advance in this context and that means we have the advantage of understanding what is really going on now and in the not-so-distant future. The fact that this book/letter of the Bible is written to the church implies that this information will produce confidence especially for the last generation of believers in the body of Christ. Everything written in the aforementioned analysis of Matt. 24 indicates to us living today that we are the generation of believers who can ( or should) see the “Day of the Lord” approaching . Read 2 Peter 8-14, in which the same words are used .....”the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” ......a call to holiness and godliness in verse 11 and verse 12 implies that we as believers must pay attention. In Ephesians 5:14-17 God tells us to....... “walk circumspectly”.....[to be alert and awake] as verse 14 tells us. Verse 8-9 tells us to trust God according to His Word/promises and our hope in Christ for deliverance. ( 2 Thess. 2:1-12 )informs us as believers in Christ that our gathering up unto the Lord (To be raptured to meet Him in the clouds) will not occur until the great apostasy ( already well underway) unfolds completely and that the ...”man of sin be revealed .......if you compare verse 4 with Revelation 13 you will understand that our gathering unto the Lord in the clouds (rapture event) will not take place until the (antichrist) world leader is revealed. ( there is already an [antichrist spirit 1 John 4:3] in the world preparing the evil powers and dark spiritual entities for what’s coming upon mankind. To be forewarned is to be forearmed and prepared ! Be strong in the Lord.....Eph. 6:6-12 ARE YOU AWAKE OR ASLEEP IN THESE LAST DAYS ?...... .........See more info. answersinrevelation.org
