END TIME

[Ranb2khz]

The World End-Time Events

“Then Jesus replied to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many. You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these events are the beginning of birth pains.”

“Then they will hand you over for persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of My name. Then many will take offense, betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered. This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.”

~ Matthew 24:4-14

As a disciple of Christ, we should not be alarmed or surprised by the events that are unfolding throughout the world. During the time of Jesus walking and teaching in human form upon the earth, He taught extensively concerning the coming troubles for mankind, and, all of creation. The intent was to prepare us for the end-time events – which are clearly unfolding on the world scene.

Let us take a closer look at a few of these predictions:

1. Deception:

Jesus spoke many times concerning the coming deception, and, being deceived by the evil one (a.k.a.; Spirit of the Anti-Christ). Deception by the evil one is not something that has just appeared upon mankind – as the human race, we have been being deceived since Adam and Eve first sinned. In fact, it has been so subtle that people that do not have the Spirit of Christ living within them are blind to its destructive grip on them.

In Matthew 24:24 Jesus taught us that “False messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”

The world is certainly full of false prophets – essentially teaching people false narratives concerning what is acceptable by God, and that everybody that lives a good life is going to heaven, and that there are many paths to salvation, etc.

But what about the “false messiahs”?

Although history has had many people claiming messianic personalities or rights – they have all proven to be false. In the Britannica the term “adjective messianic” is described as being “used in a broad sense to refer to beliefs or theories about an eschatological improvement of the state of humanity or the world.” This definition opens up a whole new meaning to false messiahs. In Luke 21:11 Jesus spoke of plagues befalling mankind, and in just one instance of this we are being deceived by the Spirit of the Anti-Christ that the greatest plague the earth has ever faced is destroying the whole world. And who has come to the rescue – to “save” us from it? The same evil entities that bio-engineered it to bring about the destruction. Sounds a lot like a “false messiah” to this author.

2. Lawlessness:

With increasing popularity, the Spirit of Lawlessness is pursuing turmoil, death and destruction on a level not seen before outside World Wars. What effect is this having upon the human heart? It’s causing many to grow cold within their heart and soul; a “just don’t bring it to my doorstep” mentality has developed. Even those claiming to be Christians have developed callous emotions to the events.

3. Earthquakes and Famines:

The Earth is currently experiencing the greatest amount of continuous earthquake and volcanic activity ever recorded in history. Just in the USA alone, the USGS has stopped reporting many earthquakes on its website, or, immediately removing the reference of them. Why? Probably to stave-off any public panic. The Earth is crying out in birthing-pains, and the Spirit of the Anti-Christ is trying to keep it quiet. Do a little research concerning active volcanoes throughout the world. It will surprise you how little any of them are being publicly made known.

Famine is another sign spoken of by Jesus. Famines throughout the world – whether man-made or naturally occurring – have been recorded throughout the world down through history. The past number of years as seen increasing famines throughout the world – due to a variety of reasons. Many of them have been man-made – whether intentionally or as a direct result of trying to “play God” with the weather (increased flooding and droughts). Analysts are predicting that even in the USA we’re in for some severe shortages of food and water. All of our supermarkets are already experiencing such shortages.

There are many more signs and wonders that Jesus spoke of concerning the end times, but the ones mentioned above are a few of the most apparent ones that are currently playing out. Jesus didn’t tell us these things for us to be scared or anxious about them – those emotions are not from God – they are from the Spirit of the Anti-Christ. On the contrary, Jesus foretold us about these events in order to prepare us for them.

For the true child of God (the disciple of Jesus Christ), the Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us in these trying times. We must continually seek the Lord’s will daily, and walk in complete obedience to Him, and the Lord Himself will give to us the “peace that surpasses all understanding”.

Do you have this type of peace in your heart, spirit, mind and soul? Do you even care?
