God will bring perfect world & promises how; avoid promises of it being different

Posts here - and the inner-city ministry blog a similar post to this will be in - discuss, in one way or another, ways God can use us to bring people to Him, especially through Repentance Revival and, as part of that, our prayers.

God cares a great deal that people come to Him. His Gospel is for everyone - anyone can call on Him at any time and trust Him by faith to forgive them of their sins and make them new inside, as I'll relate more in the final section; you can do that right now if you haven't. He unconditionally loves each of us - you - and calls us to go into all the world and preach that Gospel to everyone.(Matt.28:18-20)

When a person trusts Jesus Christ as Saviour with their whole heart, He makes them new creatures inside. (2 Corinthians 5:17) This is why I emphasize the need for repentance in revival; it's not just repentance being required for prayer. That heart change is vital to ending violence against women, working together as equals who accept we're all one race, etc.. It is good for Christians to glorify God by being Godly examples and seeking to bring these lost souls to Christ so they can change on the inside and not just on the outside, which is how the world tries to do it. God looks on the heart, which is what is important..

It is important to remember that the salvation of souls must be the main thing, though. Too often, imperfect people try on their own strength to accomplish goals, which leads to deception. Two particular deceptions involve losing our focus; hence the need to focus on things like the good thoughts of Philippians 4:8. We must avoid them and also help others avoid them. If we don't, we can be led astray with terrible consequences - especially with the second.

One is a doctrine that has been espoused by many, such as the Pilgrims and Puritans. This isn't saying they lacked a relationship with God. I simply mention them as an example to show how easy it is for saved people to fall  for it.

We Can't Bring the Kingdom Ourselves

Luke 17:20-21 shows Jesus answering a question about when the Kingdom of God would come. His words lead to talk of false Christs, but notice it is the Kingdom of God which He says won't come with observation; you can't point and say "There it is." It's within each believer because believers have the Holy Spirit. His kingdom is not of this world; indeed, we are called ambassadors(2 Cor. 5:20) precisely because we who trust Christ as Saviour are citizens of Heaven. So, this verse has nothing to do with making the world perfect ourselves, because we can't - we can only let God use us to make things better in His perfect plan, by leading people to Christ like int he above links.

The problem was, the Puritans, etc. saw a great, pristine wilderness inhabited by some natives (who only certain ones even though to share the Gospel with, a sign of their sinfulness), and a total lack of the persecution of Europe. These things made them tink it was - if not Heaven on Earth - a place they could turn into it. They looked at their situation, saw people could only be blessed by hard work in building and growing their colonies, and used those  circumstances to create something akin to the error of the prosperity gospel today. They simply forgot that the Bible never teaches us to focus on worldly goods. Instead, we are to build our treasure in heaven where it is going to last forever.(Matthew 6:19-21, etc.) So, the old "Protestant work ethic" is good in how it inspires hard work and determination for the Lord, but bad if it's used to belittle those who can't work as much or who work but their rewards are built in heaven.

As noted, it's easy to fall for the error of looking only at circumstances and still be saved; Even John the Baptist did when depressed in prison. Jesus told his messengers to show him all the Miracles that were done and that would remind him that yes, Jesus is the Christ, the "Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."(John 1:29) As the previous link states, people who believe this false teaching think they are using God when in fact the Bible says God uses us in His perfect plan. The circumstances they got wrong were thinking that they were using their faith to settle this country when in fact God was using them and trying to get them to be Godly people and thus show the natives an example of Jesus Christ. They just refused to listen to Him. Some did because they weren't saved and so didn't have the Holy Spirit. Others did because of that inherent sin nature that caused them to insist on their ways. this is just one reason why I always say in these posts that we need to repent for the last 400 years, not just the last 40.

This brings us to one of the reasons we can't bring the Kingdom of God in ourselves. There are severa, and I'll only get into a few here.

1. We haven't improved since then. We can't bring the Kingdom of God in on our own because we still have a sin nature, and imperfect people can't create something perfect, just like someone who has only read anayomy books or watched TV can't do brain surgery and hope to do it well. People still seek their own way; as noted in other posts, many want to be superior to others instead of equal. Some truly want equally, but as will be shown, when God is left out of the picture it only leads to a lack of true freedom. Godly justice, which is better than any person's. This is because...

2. God alone can change hearts. It truly is a heart problem that can't be fixed completely by laws. Believers have the Holy Spirit in them so God can use us to bring people to Him. He is the one who saves, though. We only do our part by sharing our Testimony, giving a Gospel tract, writing, singing, giving of ourselves through teaching, food, or whatever, or anything else that's God calls us to do. As 1st Corinthians says, sometimes Paul plants and Apollos waters, sometimes it's the other way around, but God is the only one who can truly give the increase.

3. Some parts of the Millennial Kingdom can't possibly come without God's intervention. For instance, there being no war and animals being peaceful, and you can't tame wild animals. Also, one verse tells of how many people will want to follow the Jews up to Jerusalem because they know that God is with them.(Zechariah 8:13) Today, anti-Semitism is rampant, and it won't stop till the devil is vanquished by God Himself. Jesus will rule and reign in the Kingdom on His throne in Jerusalem, and will return with a whole mess of staints, the number used being the highest possible in Greek.(Jude 14-15) All the events of Revelation have to happen first, too. There are others, too.

Of course, for centuries Christians have fought injustice, built hospitals and orphanages, fed the hungry, and so on; all of these are great causes. The question is, does the saving of souls come first? Is the good work done to glorify God and draw others to know Christ as Saviour? If so, that is what God wants.

There are people who do such things with other motives, though. They might do it to make people look at them, though the applause of people shouldn't be our goal - these good works must be done heartily unto the Lord. This is why at the bema seat judgment, where our works are judged, some will be burned up because they were built on the wrong desires, though once a person is saved that soul is saved forever.(1 Cor. 3:11-15)

Even worse, some people do such works and totally dishonor God, trying to create a society apart from God and His principles and perfection. Such things are very dangerous, and lead into the worst deception.

The Coming Great Deception

The problem is that so many refuse to accept God's forgiveness because they delight in sins of some sort. In sharing how to avoid being fooled by the devil, and what to do if millions vanish, those links shared a few ksys, but it needs to consistently be emphasized that Godly principles include things we all should love.

Think about it - honesty, respect for others, mercy, grace, kindness, etc. are all Godly principles we should want to build in our lives; people just don't like them when they have to apply them in situations where they don't want to, a result of that sin nature. The devil has tried to make people only focus on what God is against, but instead we must keep emphasizing the things Christians should all be for, such as forgiveness, mercy, and His loving, willing sacrifice on the cross, the death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ - who was God in flesh - for our sins.

2 Thessalonians 2 is one of several places we read about the devil's attempt to defeat God through the antichrist, and it has some very sobering words for those who love the lies the devil puts out instead of God's unconditional love for each of us. Strong delusion will come to them and they will believe the lie this evil being puts forth.

We don't know what that lie will be; there may be quite a few of them. One link mentioned in both those links int he first paragraph in this section menions demons pretending to be aliens, for instance. It could also be something else.

However, the key is that the devil will try to make this world seem perfect for sinful people left behind. Why? Becasue he is a counterfeiter, and wants to create a counterfeit system that will bind people to Him and enslave them. We don't follow God becasue we have to; we do it becsue we want to based on what He did for us. However, the devil wants to enslave people with things. Some of them, people can see are really dangers, yet they still get lured into them. Others are much more benign looking.

One of those lies is that people can create a perfect world without God.

This connects with that first point. We can't make this world perfect; we can't bring the Kingdom of God ourselves becasue we are imperfect humans. It is very dangerous to fall for any system that tries to cause people to think they can create that perfect world themselves. Indeed, often ministers refuse to preach about the end times becasue they don't want to think of jesus comings oon because they want to believe that we can build a perfect world for Him. Yes, some ministers are simply unaware of anything and just need to study to show themselves approved, getting out of their comfort zones. Others, however, truly want to think that people can make their own utopia.

Of course, it's great to work for change. We must end oppression, end racism, and prevent evil as best we can; we are never told to sit by and watch things such things happen.

The difference between what God wants us to do and what the devil tries to do is all about context. When doctors, nurses, etc. get together for a medical mission and the Gospel is presented once people receive the help they need, that is honoring Christ, for instance. When the poor are helped by a group that preaches Christ crucified, risen, and coming again for one's sins and the poor have the Gospel presented to them, that is beinging more souls into the Kingdom. However, when things are not done with Christ at the center, when a ministry does something but neglects the Gospel, then  they are not doing their job. (The dangerous "social gospel", which as the link shows is not Biblical since it doesn't focus on Heaven)

The antichrist at first will be a man of peace, bringing everything together and everyone together. This will please a lot of people, but it will only be for a short while. The true colors of this society will be shown - as shown in Revelation - by thigns such as its hatred of those who preach the God of the Bible and the necessity of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It will further be shown by the forcing of a mark in (or on, or both) the hand or forehead, where nobody can buy or sell without it. It might be voluntary at first, but either way, it will cause one to pledge allegiance to this devil incarnate.

All that is why I say elsewhere, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take that mark!

 The great deception could be someone claiming to be Jesus. It could be an alien, perhaps the return of the Nephilim coming with it as pointed out here.(There is weird, unBiblical stuff out there about these creatures, but Chuck Missler and anyone he links are good, as he is a well-respected scholar ont he subject; this is why I ilnk his page.)

We don't know what that delusion will be, so it's important to avoid it and be ready now by trusting Jesus Christ, not by preparing like some of those aforementioned weird sites talk about.

There is one way to avoid this delusion.

That is to know the truth. Jesus saith, I am the way, the truth, and the life, Noone can come to the Father but by Him. (John 14:6) This Gospel is inclusive of everyone. Children under the age of accountability go to Heaven by the cross because they can't yet understand the need for Jesus Christ to die in their place. In the same way, each of us must go not based on any work of our own. It must be based on one's trust in Christ Jesus alone, calling on him by faith and believing that He took the punishment for one's sins, and then repenting and trusting Him to save them and make them new inside.

That is all that is needed. Then, you can be part of the Kingdom of God by simple faith, the moment you call on Him to save you by simple faith. You will be an ambassador for Christ, as noted in one of numerous great shows ont he radio page here. You can also e-mail with great online volunteers here

Most importantly, you can sahre the Gospel with others and help them avoid the judgment coming on this world for the evil in it. We can't save this world from sinners. But, we can let God use us to save sinners from a lost and dying world..

Receive God's free gift, plus what to do if many disappear, you are left behind?

There may be many blogs like this, written before the disappearance of millions all at once. This video is the best summary I can find. It may not happen for quite a while. I don't know what all people will have to endure before then - especially if America is judged as some feel it will be. This is why this is being written to everyone.

Such disappearances have not happened as of this writing.

However, if millions disappear, this must go viral in every social media imaginable..Same with that first link above.

God makes some covenants without us having to do anything. He promises "by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, lest anyone should boast."(Eph.2:8-9) You must only receive it, and "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."(Rom.10:13)

Saved from what? The penalty of sin. We're not perfect. We've each said, though, or done bad things that displease God; lying, stealing, being mean, etc.. Not everyone commits all sins, but all have sinned.

That sin separates us from God. God made this world perfect, without any sin, pain, suffering, etc, but by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, so that death passed unto all men, for that all have sinned.(Rom.5:12) That sin nature we all have is because of man's free will. And, God can't let any sin into His perfect Heaven.

But, God wants us to go there. His first words to the first sinners were "Where art thou?"(Gen.3:9) He was calling out to them to come repent so He could forgive them, instead of hiding from Him. He promised to make a way for each person to be forgiven by simple faith.

Then, He did. He came to this world as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect life. He died to take the punishment for your sins and rose fromt he death so you could get to Heaven.

it's as easy as ABC - Admit you're a sinner and fall short of God's perfection; Believe Jesus Christ, God in flesh, died to take the punishment for your sins and rose fromt he dead; and, Call on Him to save you, Choosing to turn from your sins and invite Him into your life to make you new inside and cleanse you.

You can talk to God right now in fact. the words alone aren't what saves you. Jesus saves you when you call on Him by faith to forgive and save you. "Lord Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and don't deserve your perfect Heaven. I believe you died in my place so I could be saved, and you then rose from the dead. Lord Jesus, come into my heart and save me. Make me new inside and forgive me for all my sins. In Jesus' name, Amen."

You can visit here at Godlife for more on spiritual growth, etc.. Here is that simple plan of salvation; aqui en espanol y otros(and others). Aqui (or the first one in English) to scroll down, click on a decision, and receive Next Steps & 30 Day Guide; aqui is the start of the Look to Jesus series..

Of course, we aren't in the End Times right now, but JD Farag's updates are great at sharing why we may be close to the Tribulation period. However, regardless of how close we are, we are told not to worry about it but to simply be aware of the signs of the times(just like when you can tell a storm is coming) and otherwise to "occupy till He comes."(Luke 19:13) This means to share the Gospel, grow in Christ and help others grow, and essentially to do His work and be the light and salt of this world.

In the meantime, it's a good idea to have things set aside for those left behind whenever that happens. This video is a perfect summary of what to do. It's for a pre-Tribulation rapture. Please copy the link and have it stored away just in case.

His covenants with Abraham and his seed(Gen. 12:1-3,etc.) are examples of promises God makes where we don't have to do anything but call on Him by faith, just as Abraham trusted God and it was counted to him for righteousness. This doesn't mean he was perfect. It means he had trusted in God's future salvation, which would come through Messiah, Jesus; just like Adam and Eve had at the beginning, when God had cried out for them to come to Him and receive that forgiveness by faith and as everyone else who had trusted Him by faith.

 The Tribulation period - called the "Time of Jacob's troubles" in the Book of Jeremiah - is for the nation of Israel to be dealt with as God's chosen people again. This is why most scholars believe the Church will not be present during the Tribulation period; that and the fact God has not appointed us to wrath. It's always good to be ready for anything, though - especially since there are some who believe they are saved but aren't becasue they are trusting in being a church member or something else, not in Jesus Christ. So, anyone reading this after the Tribulation period starts who thinks, "Wait, why was I left behind," call on Jesus Christ to save you NOW!

It's vital to know Jesus Christ as Saviour first, That must be heart knowledge, not just head knowledge. Just calling oneself a Christian doesn't matter. This is because Jesus Christ died to take the punishment for your sins, he is God in flesh. He stepped out of His home in Heaven to live a perfect live and die for us, the just for the unjust, because our sin keeps us from God's perfect heaven. He bridged the gap between us and God, so  you could have that relationship with God restored. (Here is a good PDF explanation, this a good short video, and this a good written summary to explain it.)

It's not about anything you do, for it is "by grace you are 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)
 
You don't have to know what all your sins are right away, when Jesus saves you He begins a good work in you(Phil 1:6) that will keep going till you get to Heaven. You become a new creature in Him.(2 Cor. 5:17) But, your flesh nature will still battle the Spirit in you.That's why it's vital to be filled with (controlled) by the Holy Spirit, which is God's promise that He will keep you saved.

That's why I'm going into all this now. Because, Salvation is just like that covenant above. It's a free gift(Rom. 6:23), all you have to do is receive it by simple faith, and He is able to keep you saved.(John 10:28-30,Rom.8:36-39,Jude 24, etc.)

We are in the Age of Grace as I write this. God will still save people afterward, but the conditions will be very different. There is horrible persecution in some places now, but overall it's much easier than it will be during the Tribulation period. So, please, if you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour by faith along in Christ alone, do so now so you can go to Heaven. Because, nobody can promise you one more minute of life.

Reading this after millions have disappeared

If you read this after millions have vanished, what's above is vital about being saved from your sin.

However, it will be much more difficult for you to live, and in fact you will most likely die a martyr's death.

The penalty for sin is still the same - spiritual death and separation from God forever ina  horrible place called Hell which was only meant for the devil and his angels. However,God will start to pour out His wrath on this fallen world because of the sin in it. It's like when you're caught out in a driving rainstorm without a covering, and everything gets soaked.

Here is a good longer summary of what will happen. Raptureready also has a bunch of good stuff, including "Left Behind Letters" for others. This is also very good - I'd trust Terry Malone's videos, since they go just on what the Bible says and call speculation just that. This summarizes a few things about Terry's Tribulation Survival Guide.

These are very important because we don't know exactly how certain things will happen. We do know that God is always right, though. When Israel was founded in 1948 miraculously, people figured television was how 2 witnesses would be look upon by the whole world after they were slain in Jerusalem. In the 1990s, it was computers and webcams. Then, it was cell phones and as of this writing, something called Periscope has become a popular app which lets people observe everything another is doing in real time. Who knows for the future.

The main point is to never, *never*, NEVER  take the mark of the beast. The one-world system will make you swear allegiance to it - either to the system or to the person - and nobody will be able to buy or sell without the mark. It may be voluntary at first but will eventually be mandatory. Remember that you will seal your fate if you take this mark - you will be swearing allegiance to the devil himself and sentencing yourself to a devils hell forever. Some people ask how a loving God could send someone there, but there you can see that He is not the one sending people there, they choose t6o go, and right here you can see in Revelation that He warns you specifically not to do it.

(I should note that the King James, which was the Bible in English for 250 years, says this mark will be in the hand or forehead, modern ones say on - well, just make sure you don't take either, to be safe. These "modern Bibles" are from the Alexandrian texts, which are corrupted from the earlier Antiochan ones. similarly, Daniel 9:27 in the King James and the original Hebrew of Srong's Concordance says the antichrist will confirm a covenant with many, instead of simply making one, a term which implies strengthening it. But,the important part is, that there will be a 7-year covenant signed, and the antichrist will break this covenant with Israel halfway through.))

The wonderful thing about the Internet is that many people can view videos(like the one above and this, a more specific one with much specifics and 1-2 bits of speculation that we don't understand the exact meaning though we know what will happen, like a covenant with many with the antichrist), etc. which tell about it. You can help others to understand. Share this blog, videos, these pages, etc., with everyone.

PS: here is something like what's on some of those sites. Check out the Left Behind Letters at raptureready also. Below is a great summary of more Bible verses, etc..

------------------------------

YOU HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND

     If you are reading this letter, chances are that you were trying to find us after millions of people have disappeared. This has been left behind in the hope that whoever finds it may know what has happened. I really hope that you will repent and turn to GOD right now. This letter may seem harsh, but it is written with love. You may or may not have any religious background, but now is probably a good time to catch up. Jude 1:21‑23 says; "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference,and others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

     I think it is safe to say that all bets are off now and that those left behind need to be pulled from the fire of God's coming wrath.

     I will say right away, that whatever the media or world leaders are saying, most likely it does not point to the awesome power of the one true GOD of heaven and earth. Make no mistake friend; this was the long awaited "RAPTURE" of the true church of Jesus Christ. Look around for a moment. Everyone missing was a true Christian. Not a churchgoer or just a good person, but only those who believed in Jesus Christ and His blood alone being the atonement for our sins.

 I Corinthians 15:51‑53 states; "Behold, I show 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality."

 Again, I Thessalonians 4:14‑17 says; "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend 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."

     There are many other scriptures related to the events that have occurred, but most importantly, there are quite a few that you need to know about what is going to happen now. My intention here is to give you a briefing on just that. Of course, there is no way that I could know exactly what the impact has been on the earth since our disappearance, but I can say that there is probably great fear among all those left behind.

     There has always been a debate over the Rapture being true doctrine. The debate is now over. Be especially alert to the fact that the religious leaders and possibly the televangelists may be saying that only the carnal Christians were taken to be judged. This is NOT true! You may be told that aliens took us... this is NOT true! This link is around 2 hours long, but it's a video from December, 2011 that talks about how demonic creatures may appear from other realms pretending to be aliens, but THEY ARE NOT. that link, starting at about 29 minutes, starts talking about string theory and why there are multiple dimensions we can't see. Starting about 1 hour in, you'll hear the connection Genesis 6 and the Nephilim.

     You may even hear that mankind has made some type of evolutionary leap or you have all been changed to gods.... This is absolutely NOT true.  There is still only one true GOD!

     The New Age movement people may be saying that "the christ" is coming, or has come. They may say that all those that believed in just one god, were taken to the karma plain by the 'ascended masters' for re‑education. This is also NOT true!

     NOTE: THE 'CHRIST' THAT THEY REFER TO IS NOT JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, BUT A CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS OR EMBODIMENT OF SOMEONE.

     If this is way off, forgive me. These were just some of the lies being told by Satan in the world before the Rapture and I can only guess that one or maybe even all of them are being propagated right now. You must know that the deception being unleashed on the world now has been foretold in the Bible over thousands of years ago. II Thessalonians 2:6‑12 states; "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall

that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness

in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

     The Church, the salt of the earth, the restraining of sin by the Holy Spirit, has been removed for the plan of GOD to come to completion and the righteous judgment on all of mankind. Satan will now be able to make his last stand against GOD and his last attempt to draw as many into

worship of himself (and into hell with him) as he can. A leader will rise up among you as foretold in the books of Daniel and Revelation as well as other areas of the Bible. He will seem to have all the answers to the world's problems and he will speak great things. The Bible calls him the Antichrist or the wicked one, the son of perdition, etc..... The main idea is that if you see someone rising up to power like this, or someone has risen to power like this, do not follow him. He will be standing for peace and harmony and may solve the conflicts around the world in an effort to band together humanity.  He will take a special interest in the Nation of Israel and bring peace

to the Middle East.

     The book of Daniel foretold well over 2500 years ago that this time would come.  Daniel 9: 24‑27 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in

everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two

weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

     The 70 weeks that are referred to are known as the "seventy seven's". A week is defined as one seven year period. That would make 490 years total until the end of the world. Obviously 490 years passed without an end. Here is the reason why. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came into Jerusalem riding a donkey exactly 483 years from the command to rebuild Nehemiah's Temple. Then he was crucified and buried. After three days, He rose again and ascended into heaven. He came and shed His blood for the sins of the world and promised that He would return one day for all those who accepted His free gift of salvation.

     Now that only covers 483 years of the prophecy. What happened to the last 7 years or the "seventieth week"? You see, GOD's prophetic timeclock, if you will, stopped when Jesus entered into Jerusalem and it had been widely known that it would start again after the Rapture of the

Bride of Christ.  Jesus prophesied that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed after He left. This happened in 70 A.D. by the Romans. Daniel was prophesied to that "the people of the prince to come" would destroy the temple. The prince to come is the Antichrist. It was widely held that he would rise out of the European Union (the revived Roman Empire) or maybe the UN, but you will have to be alert now to where he is actually coming from. Be especially attentive to the One World Religious system that is being "put together for the good of mankind". Revelation 17 and 18 will illuminate this prophecy for you. The Antichrist will most likely be lifted up by the religious system of the day, thereby making him look holy or pure.

     Daniel 8:23 describe him as "A king of fierce countenance" and say that "he shall understand dark sentences" (meaning mysteries of the occult). Read verses 23‑25 very closely. At any rate, he will make/strengthen a 7 year peace covenant with Israel and after 3 and a half years he will break it. Revelation 13 depicts him as a great beast rising out of the sea (an idiom for the world), then he will be wounded in the head or possibly killed. He will seemingly be 'resurrected' and the world will marvel after him. Then he will proclaim himself to be GOD and demand that he be worshipped by all the people of the world. This will occur in the rebuilt temple of Israel.

     You see, Satan ultimately wants to destroy the Jews, God's chosen people, and then the Christians. We believed that Satan would actually indwell him at that point, only you will know now.  No Jew or Christian will bow down to him and that will begin a period of horror on the earth that has never been before. Read Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation specifically 6, 12, 13, for more on this. The last 3 and a half years of his reign will be pure terror. Hitler was a great guy compared to what this man will do. He will require some kind of mark on or in the forehead or right hand in order to buy or sell.  Really, this will just be a sign of allegiance to him.

     Revelation 20:4 states; “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received

[his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

     Unfortunately, you will have to make a choice between GOD and Satan. If you take the Mark of the Beast, you will be damned forever. Many of you will be murdered by his followers, because you stand for Jesus Christ.  Revelation 7:13‑14 says; "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." You will, in effect, be the ones who come to salvation out of the tribulation period.

     Now I don't want to get real cosmic or anything, but as I said before, only you know what is happening on the earth now. There may be mass UFO sightings or landings. The media and the government did an excellent job of desensitizing the public over the years. One of the prevailing views before the rapture, was that UFO's and aliens would probably be "the great lie" spoken of in II Thessalonions. My point is, don't believe anything that is being fed to the world through the media or the government. Cling to Jesus Christ and his saving work of atonement on the cross for your sins. Romans 10:13 says; "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Call upon his name now, you may not have another chance!

     You need to find other people who now believe in Jesus Christ. Study the Bible, learn everything you can about what is coming to come on the earth. GOD is about to judge the earth and purge the sin from it.

     We have gone to the Wedding Feast spoken of in Revelation 19. We will come back with Jesus when he sets up His Kingdom and reign with him for a thousand years. If you never believed any of this before, my prayer is that now you will.

     This is a rather long passage but it needs to be put forth. Luke 12:35‑48 states the following; "Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and

knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second

watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season?  Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

     Let the Holy Spirit speak to you about this passage. I believe that if you are still here, He is doing just that. Prepare to open up the door immediately to Jesus when He returns from the wedding feast with all His saints.

     There is no way that I could cover everything that is going to happen.  You will have to seek GOD and read the Bible for your instructions  concerning this period in which you are entering. I hope this letter is a fire that burns throughout the land now.  Make copies and get them to everyone you can. All of us are with the Father and we pray that you will join us. May the Holy Spirit come in power and save the perishing during these final hours of human history

     "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to

come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7‑8
