More About The End
Signs That The Second
Coming Of Christ Is Near
v
In Matthew, Chapter 24, Jesus said,
v
24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
v
24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
v
He said, "many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. "Do you realize that on numerous occasions over the past ten years that many people have done exactly that? Yes, many have come and said that they were the Lord Jesus Christ! And believe it or not they have convinced many people and those people have actually followed these people and their teachings!
v
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: He Said, " wars and rumors of wars.   Do you realize that there are hundreds of wars going on in this world at this very moment? :see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
v
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: He said, "nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. "The USA, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, Sudan and others. Folks this is going on now and has been for decades, even centuries, and there shall be famines,
He said, "famines" How many times do you turn on or flip the channels on your TV only to see some charitable organization pleading for funds to feed the hungry because of draught or flood or some other disaster? And not only that but folks a starving all over this world! Yes, even in the United States of America!
v
and pestilence's, He said, "pestilence's"   According to scripture "pestilence" covers a lot of areas, some of which are: diseases and plagues of insects and even volcano eruptions, floods and all kinds of so called natural disasters, new diseases. You will hear of wild animals attacking and even killing folks in their own yards and communities, even packs of domestic animals killing and destroying. Heard of any of that lately? In the day in which we are living, not only have old diseases begun to return but we're also seeing new and more difficult to deal with diseases. Aids, new strains of aids, new strains of TB, polio, the Haunta virus and many, many others. And how many wild fires have you heard of lately? There have been more wild fires in the past few years then I have heard of in my life time.
v
and earthquakes, in divers places. He said, " earthquakes, in divers places." "Divers" meaning different. How many earthquakes have you heard of recently, across this world? So many that you can't remember them all, I suspect, just as I. How many floods have you recently heard of? A natural disaster would be one in which the temperature rises so hot that folks die. Heard of any of that lately? Yes, many will read this and attribute the floods and hot weather to El Nino. But folks, we have to wake up!!! God controls all weather! Yes, Even El Nino.
v
24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. In other words, folks, we are seeing the beginning of the end of this world as we know it today!
v
24:9 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.   Christ was speaking to Christians when he delivered this message. And, he's saying that in the last days Christians would be hated. He's saying that Christians would be hated because they believe in Christ. This is the world you are living in today, folks. Christians are sneered and jeered on every hand for their beliefs. It did not used to be so! Even as recently as the 1960's most Christians were very much respected, appreciated, and even sought after when a citizen with high moral character was needed to perform some function in the community or state.
v
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. "be offended. "Have you ever seen a time in American history when folks were offended so by Christians trying to lead them to Christ? Today, many folks would rather spit in your face than to listen to the plan of salvation! The lost world today hates Christians!
v
24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And the very reason there are all the false prophets today is because folks do not want to listen to the truth that Christians bring them. No, they want to listen to the false prophets who tickle their ears and say what they want to hear.
How many churches have sprang up in your communities where the
preacher is only preaching what people want to hear? Not what God commanded him to preach. And how many people are following after that preacher? That preacher is leading lost folks straight to the pits of hell and the people are merrily following along after him. If your pastor doesn't preach the word of God, the whole word of God, exactly as God
commanded, GET OUT OF THAT PLACE!!!! Find a church that does!
v
Matthew
v
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.   And this is being done today, folks. Even though here in the United States of America people are sneering at the Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel, folks around the world are hearing his message and embracing what they are hearing. Thankful that at last they have found and heard the truth! Thousands of people from all over the globe are hearing the gospel and every man, woman, and child WILL hear the gospel, at least once before the end comes.   We do not know when the last soul will hear the gospel of Christ but it could be today!
v
Folks, it is a very dangerous thing to put off salvation. And Satan will do all in his power to keep you from accepting Christ. Satan has blinded the eyes and minds of people since the beginning of time but he is working over time now because he knows his time is short. And please don't let him tell you that you can accept Christ any time, that you have plenty of time, or that you can accept Christ when he returns or while you are on your death bed. These are all lies of Satan.    For one thing, and the most important thing, you can only accept Christ when the Holy Spirit is dealing with your heart! As he is now, if you are a lost sinner. And you DO NOT have plenty of time.! God said, "NOW is the accepted time." And you absolutely CANNOT accept Christ when he returns for his own! The scripture tells us that the born again will leave here so fast that you will not be aware until you turn and see the person next to you has disappeared or when you notice that the bus you are on has no driver! Or the jet liner in which you are flying over the ocean has no pilot! "In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye" is how fast Christians will leave here. "Paul, speaking to Christians, said, in I Corinthians 15: 51-52 , "Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." And that is not enough time to be born again, folks!
v
Yes, it's true that God said, "No man knows the day or the hour", but God has given us many signs to watch for.

Your salvation is serious business folks. When Christ returns for his own it will be to late. In the first phase of his second coming, those who have not accepted Christ will be left behind to face the "Great Tribulation" and there is little chance that anyone left will be saved because just to survive, to eat, to buy or to sell, they will have to accept the "Mark of the Beast" (Revelation 13:16) and those who do accept that mark will be lost and doomed forever, eternally.
This is not a fairy tale, folks. This is God's word!

Israel and The End
Folks, Israel is God's time table. In scripture, Israel is known as the "fig tree." (Luke 21:29-31). God loves and always has loved Israel and the Jewish nation. He has made covenants and a covenant with Israel that cannot be broken. No matter what happens in this world God's promises to Abraham will stand. (Remember, God said, " I am the Lord, I change not." Malachi 3:6 ) That's why it is so important that we pay attention to the events in Israel. And the second coming of Christ is directly related to the events in Israel. There will come a day when Russia will come across the mountains to the north of Israel to come upon little Israel to destroy her. But God will be watching Israel and at that time, God will destroy those who try to destroy God's Holy City and the people he loves, the nation of Israel. Ezekiel speaks of Gog and Magog. Gog and Magog represents the nations who through Satan will come against Christ for a final attack at the end of the second phase of Christ's return. And............
v
In this chapter of Ezekiel, I will include some descriptions and explanations in red print, along with other Bible scripture.
v
EZEKIEL

38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, ( In other words, God is telling Ezekiel to look toward or face the mountains. The word "Gog" means mountain. Gog was also the name of the Rubenite grandson of Joel. I Chronicles 5:4.) the land of Magog, ( A people represented as descended from Japheth. Genesis 10:2, 3. Gog and Magog are representative of the nations who through Satan will come against Christ in the final battle) the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: (The Meshech's being the descendants of Japheth and Tubal the son of Japheth who migrated into Russia, Genesis 10:2 and I Chronicles 1:5)
38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
38:6 Gomer, (A son of Japheth) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah ( A son of Gomer) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, (This land is Israel) and is gathered out of many people, (This people is Israel) against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
38:9 Thou shalt ascend (The army of Gog and Magog shall ascend down from the mountains upon little Israel) and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; ( Israel) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog , ( In other words, God Said, Ezekiel, prophesy and tell Gog.) Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? ( In other words, Gog will be thinking that Israel is very vulnerable and easy prey but the truth is, the Israeli people, the Jews, are very safe from the evil that Gog and Magog has planned because God is watching and either Gog and Magog do not know that God is watching or they do not believe that God covers Israel as a mother hen covers her chicks to protect them..)
38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, (Russia, with China as an allied force and others) thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses,( Yes, horses folks, this battle will be fought with thousands of men upon horseback. This is not symbolic nor mythical.) a great company, and a mighty army:
38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, ( God himself will bring delusion upon this army of people who are planning Israel's destruction so that this army will believe they can easily take Israel. Gog and Magog planned the destruction of little Israel, the land that God loves and gave to Abraham and his descendants but NOW God is leading them straight to their own destruction.) that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. (This is the point at which all mockers and scoffers of God's Holy Word, all those who have laughed in God's face and denied the precious blood of Jesus will know and understand what they have done, when before their very eyes, they see God's might and his frightening Glory).
38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? (Actually folks, I think this verse is a little sarcasm on God's
part as he leads this foolish army to their destruction. No one, NO ONE comes against God's people without suffering the consequences sooner or later. Gog and Magog do not have to wait for God is there waiting for them!)
38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury ( Fury is an exceptionally strong word when used in scripture and also means wrath or frenzy.) shall come up in my face.
38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;( An earthquake as has never before been.)
38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. ( Because of great fear and confusion, Gog and Magog will turn their swords upon each other instead of God's people.)
38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The Sequence In Which The Second Coming Will Occur
1) Jesus returns for the born again.
I THESSALONIANS 4: 16-18)
"For the Lord himself shall desend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the lord.   Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
1CORINTHIANS
15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
The Tribulation Begins On Earth
MATTHEW
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (The abomination of desolation is the anti-christ who will stand in the new temple , in Jerusalem, declaring
himself to be God.)
24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Christ's, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; (Remember, folks, in scripture the "fig tree" is israel.) When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. He said, "this generation. "What generation is Jesus speaking of here? Folks, Israel was recognized as or became a nation in 1948 and remember, Israel is God's time clock. In this verse God is telling us that some of the people who were born in 1948 would still be alive when the verses above are fulfilled and the Lord Jesus returns.( If this statement upsets you,
go to your library, study Jewish and Israeli history, compare what you learn with the scriptures and learn for yourself.)
24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
24:37 But as the days of Noe ( Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
v
Folks, it is not my place to try to make or force you to believe the word of God.
That is God's job.   All that is required of me is that I pray for you and tell you
what God's word declares.   Your salvation is solely up to you. No one can accept
Christ for you.   If you do not believe what I have written here, I invite you to find a King James Version of the Bible, the 1611 edition, get commentary's, corcondences, study old and present day maps and learn what God has for you. Why do I say, "the King James version, 1611 edition?" Because it is the Bible that the Holy Spirit of God dictated to the men of God to pen down so that you and I would have an account of God's will and things to come and also because God's very last words to us were: (" For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are witten in this book; And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in
this book. He who testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus."   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Revelation 22: 18-21)
v
"Whether you wish to admit it to yourself or not, we are living on the brink of eternity. As I write to you today, God is calling people all over this world, from every nation to come to him, accept his son as their Lord and Savior and to be ready when his son returns. The choice is ours, whether we choose to believe God or not. God has never forced himself upon any man and he never will. God offers his love, his mercy, and the security of heaven if mankind will believe him and accept his son , the Lord Jesus Christ.
v
It is my hope, my prayer that you will read these pages and come to know the Lord Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.
vI have taken the time to place these pages here
because, as a Christian, it is my duty, and also, when I have to face you at the "Great White Thrown Judgment of God", I will not have to be ashamed to
face you.

Everything I have written here concerning Gods Word is true but you do not have to take my word for it. You can and should study it for yourself. What is more important
than yours and your families future and knowing where you will spend that future?
