What time is it? Most of you have been asked that question
1000 times. Have you ever been asked what prophecy time is it? Meaning where
are we in the prophecy timeline? If some one were to ask me that question and
other questions in this regards, here is how the conversation might go.
Question: Where
do you think we are in the end times Bible prophecy timeline?
Answer: I believe
that we are very close to seeing major end times events, such as the Seals of
Revelation, occur.
Question: More
specifically what are you talking about?
Answer: Seal 1:
Conquering world kingdom—aka the New World
Order. Seal 2: WWIII. Seal 3: Worldwide financial collapse. Seal 4: A pandemic. The
first four Seals will result in the death of ¼ of the world’s population. (Rev
6:1-8)
Question: When do
you foresee these things occurring?
Answer: If the 70th
Week began on 10/28/10 and the Second Coming of Jesus—when he returns to earth
at Armageddon—will be in 2017, then I would expect the seals to occur by the
end of April 2014. If the Second Coming will be in a later year then we
possibly have a little more time before the Seals are opened.
Question:
Whenever the Seals are opened, what will happen after that?
Answer: The
antichrist/UFO man will come on the scene to “save” the world from its
problems. The leadership of the New World Order will be given to him for 3.5
years, and he will take over the world. He will require “the Mark” to be able
to buy or sell. A one world religion will be created, with its capital in Jerusalem
Question: What
about the rapture, where does that fit in with all of this?
Answer: I believe
the rapture will occur from .5 to 2.5 years after the persecution begins—I am
praying for .5 years. After Seal 6 is opened Planet X, as called by many, will
arrive and great and fearful events will occur. This is also the time that
Jesus appears in the sky, the rapture occurs, and the wrath of God begins. (Rev
6:12-17)
Question: What
will it be like for those left on earth after the rapture?
Answer:
Absolutely horrifying. Here is what will occur.
Seal 7: Fire, thunder, lightning, earthquake, 7 Trumpet
judgments begin. (Rev 8:1-6)
Trumpet 1: Horrific hail and fire, 1/3 of plants burned up.
(Rev 8:7)
Trumpet 2: Meteorite/Volcano explodes in the ocean, 1/3
ships and sea life destroyed. (Rev 8:8,9)
Trumpet 3: Comet explodes on the earth, 1/3 of fresh water
poisoned, many men die. (Rev 8:10,11)
Trumpet 4: 1/3 of sunlight removed. (Rev 8:12)
Trumpet 5: First woe—Demon locusts, men tortured. (Rev 8:13-9:12)
Trumpet 6: Second woe—Demon army, 1/3 of men die. (Rev
9:13-21)
Ministry of 2 witnesses ended. (Rev 11:1-13)
Trumpet 7: Third woe—7 Vial Judgments. (Rev 11:14-19)
Vial 1: Boils on men. (Rev 16:1,2)
Vial 2: Sea turned to blood. (Rev 16:3)
Vial 3: Freshwater turned to blood. (Rev 16:4-7)
Vial 4: Great heat. (Rev 16:8,9)
Vial 5: Darkness. (Rev 16:10,11)
Vial 6: Euphrates dries up.
(Rev 16:12-16)
Vial 7: The Lord Jesus Christ and His saints return to the
earth and defeat the antichrist and his armies at Armageddon with 100-pound
hailstones. Great earthquake, every island and mountain destroyed, America the Babylon
Jesus is anointed as King of the World and the Millennium
begins! (Rev 19)
Question: In
light of this information what should people do?
Answer: The
things listed above will occur, the only questions is when. Thus people must be
prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually for these events, for they could
start very soon. The most important preparation is spiritual—make sure that you
are a true Christian and that you are living a life pleasing to God.
Question: What is
a true Christian?
Answer: That is a good question, because there are many who think they are Christians but they are not. A true
Christian is a person who believes that Jesus is God and has placed their faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation from the penalty of their sins.
Question: How
does somebody do that?
Answer: There are
4 simple steps to becoming a Christian. We must realize that;
1. We are sinners.
As the Bible says; “For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Sin is falling short of God’s
perfection. Everyone has sinned many times in life. We have all lied, or
stolen, or cheated, or done something wrong at some time in our lives. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one”
(Rom. 3:10).
2. We deserve Hell.
Realize that there is a punishment for being a sinner, and that punishment is
death. “For the wages of sin is death” (Rom.
6:23). Not only a physical death, but also a spiritual death. The place of
spiritual death is called Hell. “But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rom. 21:8). There
is probably no person alive who can say that they never told a lie. We all have
sinned and we all deserve the punishment of Hell for our sin.
3. Jesus died for our
sins. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). Jesus
willingly went to the cross, shed His blood, and died for our sins. He paid the
price for our sins. He suffered the punishment that we deserve. When He was on
the cross, Jesus suffered Hell for us. Hell is a place of total separation from
God. When Jesus was on the cross, God the Father separated Himself from God the
Son. That is why Jesus cried out “with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Jesus
was experiencing separation from God the Father. He was suffering the Hell that
we deserve. He was paying for our sins.
4. We must receive
Christ by faith. In order to become a Christian, it is not enough to know
that we are sinners, that we deserve Hell, and that Christ died for our sins,
but we must receive Christ by faith. “For by grace are
ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not
of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph 2:8,9).
Notice that we cannot earn our way to heaven. We obtain
salvation through faith, not by works. Faith basically boils down to placing
your trust in something or someone. If you are sitting down while reading this,
you are placing your faith or trust in the chair that you are sitting upon.
Faith requires more than just an intellectual belief; it involves an action of
your will. For example, if there were a pond covered with ice, and there were
people standing around saying that the ice could hold them up, but they were
not willing to walk on the ice, then they would only be demonstrating an
intellectual belief and not faith. If they stepped out onto the ice, they would
be demonstrating faith.
One can place their faith in Christ by simply calling out to
Him in prayer, for the Bible says, “For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I expressed faith in
Christ by sincerely praying a prayer like this:
“Dear Jesus, I am a
sinner. I deserve Hell. Thank you for dying for my sins. Save me. Come into my
life. Make me the kind of person that you want me to be. I thank you that you
have and that you will take me to heaven when I die. Amen.”
If you sincerely pray that prayer with all your heart, then
the Lord Jesus will come into your life and forgive your sins, and save you
from an eternity of Hell. If you were to die tomorrow, you would go to heaven.
Not because you are good enough to get there, but because you have received the
payment of your sins. It is that simple.
"Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life." (Jn 5:24)
Question:
Anything else you would like to add?
Answer: Yes,
there is more that you need to know about the end times. I have put the
information in an easy to understand end times Bible prophecy book entitled; The Coming Epiphany. You can download
it for free. BTW; whatever you do, do not take the Mark, it will dam you to
hell.
