UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES WE LIVE IN RIGHT NOW!
Beloved brethren as I am writing this to you I feel the urgent call OUT and to shout
“We are running out of time.”
Again as I was praying a voice came to my mind, not an audible voice like a person talking but, a voice as clearly as though someone was speaking directly to my mind. I believe it to be the Holy Spirit telling me to write this article and put it on the INTERNET for all to read!
During this prayer time I heard over and over again “ running out of time,” It was unnerving to say the least. At first I thought it was only my mind trying to put off time of prayer, as our minds do, when we get tired ,or when we want to quit praying. Anyway as I kept asking for God to intervene in the life of a fellow brother in the faith, I heard the voice once again "Running out of time." At that moment I had to stop and think about what I was hearing and why?
I have written an article “ARE WE OUT OF TIME” and in it I explain more about this dream.
Some of you may not have read this interesting article on our web site? If not then, pleased the take the time to read it. I think you will find it most helpful in your hunt for end time issues.
I started asking myself “WHO IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME?” Is it me, Am I, or are we as people running out of time? It still bothers me and to this day in the back of my mind I can still hear the words “RUNNING OUT OF TIME.” See ( Luke 12:39-40 )
I talk to a lot of people through our site here on the INTERNET some in the body of Christ and other’s seeking to be a part of Christ who send prayer requests and ask questions of the Bible. I have talked to some of these people who don’t care about churches or religion at all; yet all of them talk about how this world is going to Hell in a hand basket. They are right!
People are scared to death about what’s going on in Iraq, Iran, China, North Korea, and all this talk about dirty bombs. How could you not be worried with all that is going on around us today? Swine flu killed over 50 million people in the early 1900's which was what actually stopped world war 1 it had nothing to do with us and England teaming up on the
the German Army we just did not have enough men to fight anymore and neither did the other side because so many soldier’s had died from the FLU. We all had to quit the war to bury our dead back home. (Read news papers from that time for the truth)
The reason I am telling you this is that this Swine flu is acting just like that of the 1900's which came back hard in the fall and spread around the world killing millions, will it repeat that again? Wars, Earth Quakes, Droughts, Famines, millions dying from all kinds of acts of nature these are the signs in the book of Revaluation of your Bible. I know many preachers have talked about the end time coming some even setting dates but nothing like what is happening now in so many places around the world were happening at the same time?
Food cost going up, up up, and rents, and cars all going up but, not our pay, where will it end?
Read “ He said to the crowd: "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'It's going to rain,' and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It's going to be hot,' and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time? ( Luke 12:54-56 )
Jesus was talking of his coming at that time. But I believe he is warning us of this time and age, right now! Some minister’s preach and believe that Matthew chapter 24 was only talking about the 70 AD destruction of the temple. HOWEVER how do they explain verses 27-33 “ For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
"Immediately after the distress of those days " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.
Jesus did not return in 70 AD did he? . We have no record of the sun turning dark or the moon turning blood red as the signs of his coming is told to us in the end time. If even one of these events would have happened the Asymmetry of that time would have recorded the event so, we are to assume that this is talking about another time, our time.
This means a new temple must be standing in the end time, well Sisters and brothers of the faith I have good news for you a new temple is being readied right now in Israel Right now they are getting ready to put it together on the Holy site.
Be on guard, get ready-Read ( Luke 12:47-48 ) and Rev 17 ,are you the servant in verse 47 of Luke? “The servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready and do what his master wants, will be punished with a heavy whipping.”
To all of you my fellow brethren I say we need to get busy telling everyone we can that we are running out of time. We are coming to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ’s return. Are you doing your jobs? Are you ready to meet God and tell him what a good job you have tried to do for him?
Do not be like the servants in Luke 12:45 don’t think “Yeah, I”ve heard all this before, I even heard my grandmother talk about the return of the Lord so what?”
"Woe unto the men who say the Lord delays his return," remember that one?
Well I am writing this to show you that the time of the end or as I prefer to say the time of a new beginning is upon us right now. (Matthew 24: 42 ) We do not have long!
Do you know that in Israel about 36 months ago or so, that the Sanhedrin (which is the religious court of the Jews) was reborn and that all their priests have their Holy garments made and have been taught their duties for the temple to preform all the duties of the mosaic laws of old? These priests of the court have given their OK for a new temple to be built. The four corner stones have been made with according to rules set up by their old ways and have been ready to be moved to the temple mount anytime .
KEEP YOUR EYES ON Jerusalem! Jesus told his disciples Today all who follow Jesus Christ are His disciples, are you keeping your eyes open on what is going on?
Do not be like the 5 other virgins who ran out of oil because the lord tarried then came like a thief in the night.
The virgins who kept their lamps full went with the Lord while the others where to late by going back to but more oil. The moral of this is be ready for the Lord for he is coming soon and those who are watching will be ready to go with him. ARE YOU READY?
(Revelation 11:1-2 ) “I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there.”
This is talking about the end time Temple, it will be a fact one day soon! ARE YOU READY for what is about to happen, well are you? “ So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,'
and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.( Matthew 24:44-51 )
You see all the other times that people talked about the end coming ,the Jews had not come back home yet. There was no land of Israel until a 1947. The nation of Israel was born and now they are planing to rebuild their Holy Temple and sacrifice to their God to ask for his protection on their nation. They are looking for their messiah Y'shua/Jesus Christ to save them and for him to return to his people.
Well HE is on his way back and they will know him when they see the nail prints in his hands and feet. We already know who Y'shua is He is Jesus Christ Amen and Amen!
As soon as the Jews build their 3rd Temple, then we are in the count down to ARMAGEDDON, You know, the end time war just before the Jew’s messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, returns Hallelujah.
You See if you know it or not, we are running out of time. Just look around you, you can see it, if you will only open your eyes and minds.
Read (Matthew 24:14), then read Daniel chapter 11 then Revelation chapters 11&17 also read (Matthew 24:14) with (Luke 21:7-19).
I know this is a lot of reading to do but, your life and all those you love may depend on you knowing this. Read more (Luke 21:20). Jesus was speaking of the 70 AD time here but ,also about the end time ,our time verses 25-28 How close do you think we are now?
My brothers and sisters we must get out and do something to spread the news about Jesus and his soon appearance on this planet of ours. (Romans 10:11-13)
Everyone can be saved! (Romans 10:14-15) is what we all need to share with everyone who will listen before it is too late. Look at (Romans 12:1-2)
Life in God’s Service, are you there yet?
While reading this chapter of Romans, starting in verse 4& 5 replace the word parts with the word churches, now read verses 6 - 21.
This is talking about all of us, so don’t play around anymore, because we are out of time.
READ your newspapers and watch the news on the INTERNET, pay very close attention to what is happening in the nation of Israel. Be praying all the time, not just at bed time or at church but, all the time. Our sisters and brothers of the world need to know what time it is and we have very little of it to tell them.
Ask yourself about things like:
1) NATIONAL I.D. CARDS /CHIPS in our driver Licenses
2) NEW WORLD ORDER this is being pushed by both parties!!!
3) Jerusalem becoming a world capital city.
4) WORLD WAR 111 ALREADY STARTED
5) 1/3 of all mankind killed BY war then 1/3 more by Famine , (THAT’S 4 BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET, FOLKS! ) Some will be in the USA for sure to wake us up.
Any of this sound familiar at all? If not, you need to pay more attention of what is going on around you. It is time to quit playing religion don’t you think?
Just going to church every Sabbath (Saturday or Sunday) makes no difference if you are just playing church. Are you in church because you want to be with our Father God and his son Jesus Christ? OR , Are you in church because you want to be apart of God’s everlasting kingdom?
Maybe you are just going to church because it’s a tradition in your family?
Maybe you’re in church because you did something wrong or are doing something wrong now I don’t know but, you are running out of time my friends, so you better ask yourself some of these questions while you can.
How about this one," you are going to church for the family, or your mate says you will go or I’ll kill you?" What I am getting at is, where are your heart and mind during church services?
Are you trying to get closer to God to serve him or are you there just in church for show?
I am telling you now ,you should be in church or starting a church to spread the Good News of the coming of the Lord. We are out of time to just go to church to please anyone except Jesus the only one who counts. If you are in church for any other reason you are wasting Time, WAKE UP! It is time for all of us to quit playing religion don’t you think?
At any time a Terrorist will set off a dirty bomb or spread germ warfare and the world as we know it will be in anarchy. Just think what will happen when one or two Nukes go off here in America? Remember what the people did during the hurricanes ?
Shootings, robberies, Vandalizing, killing, roving gangs’ all this was happening only a short time ago, Remember?
Now think about millions dead and dying in the streets of a major US city.
What are people going to do then? What are you going to do?
Are you and your family ready? This is for real not just some story from the Bible like Daniel in the lions den but the end of the world as we know it. Get ready for the coming of the Lord!
Where are you going to be when this happens?
(Notice I did not say if this happens, I said WHEN)
Believe it or not beloved, we are in the in time where the Bible in the books of Matthew and Luke and ,Daniel and Revelations.
We are almost out of time to help save our fellow man, are you working hard for the Lord? Are you doing your job?
Are you sitting on the side lines figuring someone else can tell them about this?
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, it is your duty to spread the word of Jesus to the world. Even if it is only in prayer every day as long as you are doing something.
If you are one of those Christians sitting on the side lines waiting to be taken to a place of safety ask yourselves, "am I really ready for the Lord’s RETURN?"
Is Jesus coming back for you or to judge you? Are you sure you are close enough to God to be protected from all that is coming soon?
ARE YOU PRAYING DAILY TO ESCAPE THESE THINGS? (Luke 21:36)
Please take a long moment here and ask yourself honestly “Am I ready, Am I doing all I can do to serve the Lord?”
How to get prepared for these times:
1) PRAYER ---------------------------Are you praying every day?
2) Serving ------------------------ Are you serving others’?3) Sharing-------------- Are you talking to all, who might hear the word of the Lord?
4) Giving------------------------ Give your time helping anyone in need.
5) Listening------Are you willing to listen to others’ when they tell you about the end time?
6) Seeking----- Are you truly seeking God’s kingdom every day, putting it first in your life?
7) Understanding--------- Do you read Gods Holy word (the Bible) every day and most importantly do you understand what it is saying to you?
Forget all the religious garble others have told you, read it for your own peace of mind. Wisdom comes from God, God gives you faith and faith gives understanding which gives you wisdom with the power of the Holy Ghost.
Here is a thought -draw a line on a piece of paper- zero at the start n 85 at the end,the red X is me
now put an X where your age is right now? HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
0+++++10+++++20++++++30+++++40++++++50++++++60+x+++70++++80++85--LUCKY!
Short isn’t it, the day you die will be your day of the Lord—
Are you ready????
Just Look back 20 years. remember how fast it went? What about the next 20 years ? Baring any accident, do you see the short time you have left?
You can’t obey your way into God’s Kingdom. You can’t even pray your way into the kingdom of God. All you can do is accept the fact, that Jesus himself, hanging bleeding on the cross in his true love for you, has already paid the price in your name, obeyed in your place, and prayed on your behalf. He offers his hand and pulls you from the fire. And once you know that, your whole life changes. If you obey Gods word, you obey not out of legal obligation, but out of humble gratitude and faith. If you fail to obey, you realize that there is nothing in the world that you can ever do to earn God’s love, and there is nothing in the world that you can ever do to lose God’s love, no matter what.
That is simple salvation The only way you and I will ever enter the kingdom of God is not marching in righteously on our own two feet, but carried in as helpless sinners, held in the loving embrace of those same arms that were stretched out on the hard wood of the cross for our redemption
Let us pray “Heavenly Father we come before you in all your glory and understanding and ask by your mercy that you would walk with us in mind and spirit. Father God you know our hearts and minds and that there is no deceiving you. Open our minds and soul and abide within us in our time of need. Father God you made us, remember how weak we really are. Hold our hands and keep us on the right track as we run this race called life. Let us through your son Jesus to be like him that we too may be in your kingdom forever and ever Amen”
Now that you have prayed I employ you to share this message " Jesus Christ is coming very soon and we all need to be ready. This way when time is up ,we will all be ready to start our new life in God’s everlasting kingdom."
Thank you for reading this message and may our Lord Jesus / Y'shua Messiah, be with you in all the time you have left.
Amen and Amen
