Think on this: “Be always on the watch and pray fervently that you may have the power to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)
Pray on this: Father, your people and especially young people are woefully ignorant of what you have predicted in the prophetic scriptures. Their eyes glaze over when the subject of the end times surfaces. The Enemy of our souls delights in marginalizing these truths. Grant a renewed openness and hunger to know your Word, especially what you have predicted regarding the end times. We ask in Jesus name that you make these truths known this generation. AMEN!
Good report and here’s my take on it. Church Pastors don’t want to teach or talk about the end times prophecies because they do not want the end to come. They need sustinance , money, and bigger flocks and talking about the end times doesn’t fit their program. Blind Guides.
It’s true, the CHURCH with it’s PASTORS and leaders are hiding the truth. But besides that, and much worse, many CHURCHES and their leaders are defecting from the true faith falling prey to the influences of ISLAM and trying to combine the two RELIGIONS. It “cannot” be done. In REVELATION 3:I, JESUS commands us to hear the words of the PROPHECY and promises a blessing to those who do. Far to many CHRISTIANS are content and comfortable in the secular agenda and will be caught with their pants down when JESUS returns. The BIBLE is approximately one fourth prophetic in nature. If it wasn’t important, GOD would not have included it in HIS WORD.
Unfortunately, I believe some of the popular rapture teachings have caused a lukewarmness & care free life-style because many who embrace this teaching don’t believe they will be around for the end times. Luke 21:36 does not embrace this thought. I pray the Lord of the Harvest to raise up end times preachers, teachers, & believers that will have the grace and anointing to break the yoke of false teaching & the power to quicken the spirit of man to repent and endure to the end regardless of when and how it comes. We must endure to the end & then we will be saved. This is especially true of those who are on the earth at the time of the end.
I grew up with a dad who talked about the 2nd coming of Christ and embraced prophecy. This modeling has influenced me very much! In fact there are certain kinds of clouds that I see I call 2nd coming clouds as I project on these clouds Jesus coming on His white horse in victory. Since I live in the Mpls. area, going to Jan’s conferences is very convenient. I have only missed one or two. I enjoy the speakers that are Bible based and are VERY able to apply it to current events. As events continue to unfold at a rapid pace I am very thankful for the hope that I have which is in Him. I am also thankful for friends that I have that share the same hope! Maranatha!
THE CHURCH IS HIDING!
SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS will inundate people in the last days of which we are in now. I went to a Bible-believing (I thought) for 12 years, played on the worship team and thought all was OK until the day the Lord called me to study and teach Bible Prophecy. This was several years ago. Now the senior pastor of this church will not talk to me.
Several other ‘churches’ in my local area are uninterested in BP but very interested in big building plans, subtlety suggesting to others to double their tithe to bring in the money. This pastor is young and appeals to many through comical and entertaining messages. So many are being blinded and not prepared for the faith-trials to come.
Still another pastor is more interested in sermon presentation and delivery than peoples souls. How sad this is before a Holy and Righteous God.
God clearly tells us in Scripture that His people are destroyed by lack of knowledge. What knowledge is He talking about? Knowledge of His word contained in the Bible. Most so called Christians don’t even read their Bible on a regular basis. Is it any wonder they are so easily mislead and deceived? Still, God will hold them accountable for their actions.
IF THE WAILING WALL IS A PART OF THE TEMPLE WHEN THE REST OF THESE STONES ARE KNOCKED DOWN WE WILL SEE THE LORD COMING IN THE CLOUDS
And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mark 13:1-27 (King James Version)
I wanted to remind you that Anti-Judaism is in the DNA of ALL the nations of the world, Christian and Muslim alike. It is spreading even to the Jews, even some “religious” Jews who are now anti-Israel and Anti-Aliyah. The enlightened ones are those who read the scriptures, Goyim and Jews, who use the only tool that the L-rd gave us to counteract this DNA as you call it. Salvation can only come to those who learn from G-d what it is that he wants of us.
