IT IS ALL UP TO YOU! Responsibility Is Personal I cannot, nor can any man, make you act on the understanding within this booklet, or make you obey God. I can only jostle you—shake you—but you must rouse yourself from the comfort zone of your life. Wake up! Throw cold water on your face! Clear your vision! Don’t waste time! Get going! Start down the road, one step at a time, to where you should be! Determine to keep your eyes on the truth of events! A transcendent world test is coming, and this will crash into an almost entirely unprepared and unsuspecting world. And recognize that the current popular idea of December 21, 2012 being the “end” is nonsense, since Christ said that no man knows the day or hour of His Return (Matt. 24:36). When asked about conditions that would precede His Return to Earth, Jesus answered, “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, ‘I am Christ [that Jesus is Christ];’ and shall deceive many” (Matt. 24:4-5). Jesus goes straight to the problem that would exist at the end of the age. There are many, many deceivers at work today. But how many people are doing what Christ said, and taking heed about this? How many are carefully doing their homework regarding men claiming to represent God? How many are following through on claims made by preachers about the beast with even minimal Bible study to see how ridiculous—how completely absurd!—are the most popular ideas about the beast of Revelation and related prophecies? Jesus Christ promised to build His Church. Men have built their churches and Christ built His—just one! By now you know it is not, and never was, the great false system based on the practices of Babylon. I repeat: one full third of the Bible is prophecy. God foretells in His Word a great deal about what the future holds. Many prophecies involve a tremendous amount of understanding that God makes available, and with all necessary details. He wants His servants to understand exactly what lies ahead for all mankind, and for themselves—if they are faithful, or if they are not. But also recognize that more than bad news lies ahead for the world, and this must also be understood. So many seem to think that all Bible prophecy involves upheaval, disaster and devastation. This could not be further from the truth! Remember, vast sections of God’s Word describe the awesome and permanent GOOD NEWS that lies ahead for the world—that of God’s coming, world-ruling supergovernment, under Christ and the saints, announced by Jesus as the kingdom of God. We saw this, and that it follows almost immediately on the heels of the beast’s final appearance. The Greatest Questions Towering—truly colossal!—prophecies, concerning the most terrible calamities to ever strike the earth, are now unfolding. You have seen them explained in clear, plain detail. A spiritually darkened, blind and deceived world rushes headlong toward disaster, now just ahead. They do not suspect that God’s wrath, poured out in full fury, and undiluted with mercy, will soon fall on a sin-ravaged humanity that God has marked to receive it. Be careful. Many almost seem to think that by hoping these things will not happen, or wishing them away, their certainty will be cancelled. How naïve—and foolish! Prophecy does not turn on your or my agreement. God declares them in His Word. These prophecies are certain—they are sure. They will happen! Will you be deceived when they come to pass? Will you be seduced by miracles and lying wonders? Will you take the mark of the beast? Will you not resist worship of the beast and his image when the entire world is falling in line? Will you follow the masses and ignore God? Or will you obey God, watch and pray always—and ESCAPE?
