STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THE END TIMES
“END TIMES” MEANS THE TIME OF COMPLETION OF GOD’S PURPOSES ON THE EARTH AND NOT THAN JUST THE TERMINATION OF HUMAN LIFE ON EARTH (Matthew 24:3; 1 Corinthians 10:11; Matthew 24:6 -8; Romans 8:22 – 23; 2 Peter 3:12 – 13) WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION PART OF THE END TIMES (Matthew 24:21 – 22; Revelation 10:7; 1 Corinthians 15:51 – 52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17) THIS MESSAGE WILL FOCUS ON LIFE IN A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO FOLLOW THE ANTI-CHRIST DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD AND HOW CHRIST-FOLLOWERS NEED TO PREPARE PRACTICALLY BEFORE IT HAPPENS (2 Thessalonians 2:1 – 12) LIFE UNDER THE RULE OF THE FALSE PROPHET WHO FORCES PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THE ANTI-CHRIST (Revelation 13:11 – 18) Some of the characteristics of this time in the future A STRONG PRAYER LIFE THAT FLOWS FROM ALL-OUT DEVOTION TO CHRIST IS THE MOST FOUNDATIONAL PREPARATION FOR EVERY CHRIST-FOLLOWER (Luke 21:36) PRACTICAL PREPARATIONS NOW WHILE THERE IS TIME BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE THE MARK OF THE ANTI-CHRIST (James 2:26) PREPARATIONS FOR A LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS (Matthew 24:15 – 16) How do we prepare for this now? BE ASSURED THAT LIVING AS FAITHFUL REMNANT IN A TIME OF WIDESPREAD EVIL AND SPIRITUAL UNFAITHFULNESS IS PLEASING TO GOD (1 Kings 19:18) WHEN YOU ARE COMMANDED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE MAN WHO RULES THE WORLD, CHOOSE TO STAY FAITHFUL TO GOD (Dan 3:9–18) THE LORD WILL REWARD THOSE WHO REMAIN FAITHFUL TO GOD WITH LIFE FOREVER WITH GOD IN THE ETERNAL HEAVENS AND EARTH (Revelation 2:10; Revelation 21:7 – 8)
