We can expect that Jesus will be the one that gives us the most important end-times prophecies. The following end-times prophecy by Jesus is the first specific prophecy, as well, it calls for action. Jesus even says “let the reader understand” and He tells us to go to Daniel for more information on the man described as “abomination of desolation”.

“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Matthew 24:15-16

“It (Little Horn/Antichrist) became great, even as great as the Prince of the host. And the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown. And a host will be given over to it together with the regular burnt offering because of transgression, and it will throw truth to the ground, and it will act and prosper.” Daniel 8:11-12

“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?” Daniel 8:13

If you are not already watching Nelson Walters end times videos, can I suggest you go to his website http://www.gospelintheendtimes.com and arrange to do so.

Dr Brock Hollett does a great job of expounding Scripture to show Jesus return to rapture the church will not occur until after the great tribulation and the appearance of the Antichrist (Abomination of Desolation) described by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse.

I do not think that Samuel Frost made his case for the partial preterist position. Let me know what you think and why. It would be good to get some feedback so I know how to help you, and no doubt you can help me particularly to connect with other Christians who have a passion for revealing the truth about Jesus and therefore about God.

Th following email was received from Pastor Charles Otieno from Migori Kenya, I am supporting Charles and two other pastors in Kenya who are passionate about setting up Book of Acts – Home Church groups. As most of you know, I am 84. I am also a pensioner now so am limited in what I can contribute. I would appreciate your help to raise the $380 they need. You can click the donation icon on the front page to make a secure donation. Any amount received in excess of $380 will be used to set Charles up so he can hold Zoom meetings with appropriate training organisations.

I pray that this finds you Ron, your children, and the community of Living Eternal Now (LEN) followers in good health, and the Lord’s presence through all your days.

We are just remaining with 5 days, to our forthcoming mission trip, planned to begin on November 5th-8th, 2020. At Kogaja village, 1km away from the republic of Uganda.

It will be a one day drive, covering approximately 1500 kilometers ,and we shall need to start our journey early in the morning of Wednesday 4th.

Pastor, Alfred, Maurice, Jacob, Jactone, Melkio, Johaness, and Seth, and some church group members, have all confirmed their presence with me on the trip.

I pray and believe that our trip will be of a great blessing to us, and to the people of that area. And we expect to see a positive outcome from the trip.

Our host, brother Saoke has informed me that preparation for the meeting is at high gear. And as much as the meeting is concerned, they are suggesting we hire a tent, saying that the attendance might be big, and couldn’t be seated in a house.

It is apparent that the meeting is going to cost us a large expense, more so on fueling our two vehicles, tent hire, hotel, and food.

All church group members and pastors have helped contribute to our trip, but still is not enough.The little contributed can only help cater for tent hire & food.

Our own total budget for the trip is Kshs 51,500/

We have already Kshs 23,000/ at hand.

Request: I kindly ask you to help support us with A$ 380, which can be approximately Ksha 28,500, depending on the exchange rate of the day.

No doubt this is the most important question you can ever ask. As renowned French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal said, you’re betting your eternal destiny that you are right.

Is what I believe true? I cannot think of anything more tragic than to live life with a false view of reality. A false view of the existence of God.

Armand Nicholi was a clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of the book, The Question of God. The book is based on a course he taught at Harvard’s undergraduate school. In the course, he compares the lives and beliefs of Sigmund Freud, the atheist, with C.S. Lewis, the Christian. In the prologue of the book, Nicholi writes some interesting words contrasting these two men’s views on the existence of God.

“Are these worldviews merely philosophical speculations with no right or wrong answer? No. One of them begins with the basic premise that God does not exist, the other with the premise that He does. They are, therefore, mutually exclusive if one is right, the other must be wrong.”

Ultimately, the belief which is true will be consistent with the real world and the one which is untrue will present a view of life that is not in harmony with reality so the investment of your time to settle the matter is mandatory.

Another consideration, if we live our life with the view that God does not exist then our life is going to be very different from the person who believes God does exist.

As a believer, I know I will be judged by God for how I lived my life on His earth. God instructs me to love my neighbour as myself and that I must forgive those who treat me badly regardless. Imagine the world if we all lived this way.

As an unbeliever, I can make up my own rules on how I live my life. This is all there is so I might as well make the best of it. It is after all the survival of the fittest. Abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, gay marriage, transsexuality, all good, in fact, anything goes if most of us agree on it.

The world we live in now is fast abandoning God and His commands and we are seeing all of the above with lawlessness escalating. All those who hold God’s values are facing increasing persecution.

God’s Word, the Bible, predicts exactly what we see unfolding in the world today. The prophesied events are those that lead up to the wrath of God being poured out on the earth prior to Jesus’ second coming. How different it will be from Jesus first coming to earth. The second time He comes as king leading an army that defeats the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon. He will then rule the nations from Jerusalem. The world will be His Kingdom and He rules the nations with a rod of iron.

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:11-15

The Rapture of the Saints those dead in Christ and those alive on earth happens after the tribulation period spoken of in Daniel and Revelation that refines the church. The Rapture initiates the wrath of God being poured out on an unbelieving world. Jesus meets the saints in the air and takes them to heaven. Everyone on earth will see Jesus and know that the wrath of God that is poured out over the next twelve months and ten days is God’s judgement (The wrath of God poured out on the earth in Noah’s day also lasted 1 year and ten days). After this, Jesus returns to earth as captain of the army of Saints to defeat the army of the Antichrist.

I am sure that many of you reading this post will have viewed or read about the frightening prophetic dreams which Pastor Dana Coverstone of Living Word Ministries Assemblies of God in Burkesville, Kentucky has shared on YouTube. He spoke about three prophetic dreams he had and their relationship to current as well as near future world events. Many evangelical Christian leaders have commented on the content. From my perspective Coverstone is a longtime pastor who has not previously sought publicity nor does he come across as arrogant [or] trying to build up his ministry. I urge you to watch the video and reach your own conclusion, but I saw no reason to doubt Coverstone’s heart in this video.

This is a great series of eight videos to introduce any one to “End Times” Scriptures. Please use them to educate yourself first, then share them with your circle of family and friends. I will share one, with my take on each, over the next eight posts.

Biblical end-times prophecy is like a jigsaw puzzle and all of the pieces must fit together perfectly to reveal God’s bigger picture of redemption. Many believers in Jesus Christ today sense that His return is coming soon. Unfortunately, the subject of His return and the spiritual preparation necessary to weather the coming great apostasy are rarely discussed in churches. God has given us prophetic details and instructions for a purpose and it is time to wake up and pay attention. This 8 session Bible study on the End of the Age is meant to be a warning and a wake-up call to those who profess His name. Session 1 is an introduction which should convict you of the importance of these “End Times” Scriptures.

Consider this verse in Ephesians. Able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think.

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20

What about this verse? With the indwelling Holy Spirit Paul tells us “we have the mind of Christ.

“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:14-16

How about this verse? We are a new creation.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Created for good works that we should walk in them. Are we?

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Have you developed a relationship with the Holy Spirit?

Christ made it possible for our Heavenly Father to send the Holy Spirit to indwell your spirit, to be your counsellor, teacher and comforter. Proverbs 20:27 tells us that our spirit was always intended to be the lamp for the Holy Spirit.

“The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.”

Do you grieve the Holy Spirit and or quench His work in your life?

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30

“Do not quench the Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 5:19

How important it is to understand that the Holy Spirit is a person with whom you need to relate to, just as you do with Jesus and our Heavenly Father. It is important we understand the roles each of them has, and we operate with them. For example, Jesus taught us to pray to our Heavenly Father and we do so in the name of Jesus. Why? Because Jesus made it possible for us to come back into a father, son/daughter relationship with our Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit’s role is to produce the Fruit of the Spirit (9) in our lives, to provide the ministry gifts (9) and to sanctify us, to make us like Jesus.

The Holy Spirit will empower us to do the good works we were created in Christ Jesus to do. But just as Jesus said to the Father in the garden of Gethsemane, not my will but yours be done, we likewise need to say to the the Holy Spirit not my will but yours be done this day and everyday until Jesus returns.

PRAYER: Lord give us a burning desire for souls. Break the bondage of idolatry in our nations, and release heaven’s justice. Help us pray for deep repentance for ourselves first, knowing that it is the way to salvation. Use us as an instrument of intercession to birth revival. Show us how we can participate to bring revival in our own nation. Pour out Your spirit afresh upon us, just like you did on the day of Pentecost. Come like tongues of fire and baptise us in your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
