So, we
suspect the devil's hands in this lie, which is aimed at discrediting in the
eyes of the world, the truth on the return of Christ when such dates come and
pass without anything happening. Weak believers may also be trapped by this
Satan's strategy to fall in slumber and later be taken unawares by Christ
's return, and end up in hell. So we must be very careful.
As for us, we have basically followed
the Lord's Rhema and Logos to declare his coming at any moment from now,
in this 3 rd Millennium.
THE LORD GOD SAYS:
“After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raised us up and we shall live in his sight”. Hosea 6:2
We are today 2009... AD (after two days) in the third millennium (in third day)
for the great revival now, waiting for Christ's coming at any moment.
Does the bible not say: “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day” 2nd Peter 3:8. So when precisely then? In the book “IMMINENT END OF THE WORD”, (See home page: how to get Ready for the Rapture with the Book "Imminent End of the World" , this question is answered in the light of the Bible.
That said, the text of Hosea 6:2, is directly related to that of Daniel 7:25-28 that says:
“
He shall speak words against the most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the most High, and shall think to change the times and the
laws; and they shall be given into his hands for a time, two times, and
half a time.
But
the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away,
to be consumed and destroyed to the end. And the kingdom and the
dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall
be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, their kingdom,
and all dominion shall serve and obey them’. Here is the end of the
matter”
God, destroying the dominion of the wicked one over His saints will imply reviving His
saints after two days. Yes, to revive us is to set us free from
spiritual blindness of the wicked one, and conforming us to the right
times and laws of God.
By giving the kingdom of righteousness to us the saints of the Most High, will imply raising us up to be with the Lord(rapture).
Therefore, after this great revival of the saints in the right times
and Laws of God that the wicked one has changed and taken the saints
captive to obeying him, then comes the rapture.
This is equally connecting us to What Revelation 14:9-20 is saying :
“And another angel a third angel followed them, saying in a loud voice, ‘‘ If any one worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
he also shall drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured unmixed into the
cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the
presence of the Lamb.
And
the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no
rest, day and night, those worshippers of the beast and its image, who
receives the mark of its name’’ Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
And
I heard a voice from heaven saying, “write this: Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord henceforth” “Blessed indeed says the spirit, “that
they may rest from their labour for their deeds follow them!” Then I
looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of
man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sickle in his hand.
And
another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him
who sat upon the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to
reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe. So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped.
And
another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp
sickle. Then another angel came out from the alter, the angel who has power
over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp
sickle, “ Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the
earth, for its grapes are ripe.”
So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of
the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God; and the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a horse’s bridle, for one thousand six hundred stadia”( Revelations 14:9-20).
There is therefore no contestation with the Lord that we are in the 3rd millennium when Christ is coming. But as the bible says: ‘‘But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the son, but the father only’’ Matthew 24:36.
The
terrible day of the end shall be a horrible day to all mankind as will
be illustrated in chapters ahead. It shall not only be like that of
the floods in the days of Noah, but equally shall it be like that of
the consuming fire that rained down on every life in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Yes,
that God has spoken in this book to warn us of an imminent end of
the world at any moment from now, can only be doubtful to those
destined to perish. None can dispute the fact that we are not today in
the end Times for which God said: ‘‘ Many
shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; the
wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but
those who are wise shall understand (Daniel 12:9).
Who
then are the ‘wise’ of the end Times to understand the Biblical truth
on the imminent end of the world ? They are those who will cry out to
God, to open their minds to understand the scriptures (John 24:45), as he now takes off the seal from Daniel’s message.
DID OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT SAY OF HIS TIME OF COMING:
“So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the Prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains(Matthew 24:15-28).
Have we found out to know the desolating sacrilege standing in the holy place as spoken of by Daniel? Or we just satisfy ourselves by saying we are ‘‘ born again Christians in the Lord Jesus Christ’’
and so have no norms (Laws) of God to obey, through the Holy Spirit!
How do we think we can withstand the devil while breaking the least of
God’s word?
To attack Daniel the devil said: “We shall not find any ground for complain against this Daniel, unless we find it in connection with the Law of his God”(Daniel 6:4-5).
Is
the devil finding anything wrong with you concerning the Times and Laws
of your God and is holding you bound to it? Or you say, “Jesus nailed the Laws on the cross”!
If changing God’s Times and Laws was not to hurt God’s heart, Satan
would not have done it, for all he does is to oppose God and hurt His
heart in every way possible. How can we then take sides with him to hurt
the heart of our God we claim to Love?
We must equally Remember that the message of Daniel came up hundred of years about 587 BC, during the Era of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to Cyprus of the Median and Persian Empire before the Roman Empire. Therefore, much of it has been accomplished.
The
fun today is that, when we are reading Biblical prophecies the devil
successfully deceives us to the understanding that, they are just
written today, for tomorrow’s accomplishment. So can we arise now and be
more conscious to get ready before the bridegroom appears with fire to
end up this decaying more world?
The
irony is that , many confess with their mouths that they are in the End
Times period, but still don’t believe in the divine truth that, this
world will ever come to an end, not to then talk of it happening at
any moment from now. This rightly or falsely because over some years
today, many have been speculating on the dates that could be the end of
the world.
Some had speculated it to be 1884, others 1966,
and not long ago 1994, which all failed. But for us, we are not
speculating! Equally, many don’t believe in the reality of hell but
when they will be there, they will be fervent believers but then it
will be too late for them to do anything about it. With my visions of
heaven, I can only exhort believers to strive for this wonderful place
of glory.
The bible says:
“Surely
the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants,
the prophets. The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has
spoken; who can but prophesy?(Amos 3:7-8).
If
we believe in this statement, then surely as we read this book, we
will come to acknowledge God’s alerting voice urging us to get ready
now. My prayer is that the Lord will give us a spirit of wisdom and of
revelation as we read through, as to come to the full knowledge of the
end and hurry into perfection as to escape from the terrible end that
awaits the disobedient.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THAT DAY?
“On
that day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly
bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth and everything in
it will vanish…as you wait for the day of God…the day when the heavens
will burn up and be destroyed, and the heavenly bodies will be melted by
the heat. But we wait for what God has promised; new heavens and new
earth, where righteousness will be at home” 2nd Peter3:10-13
As
we move closer to the end of the Age, the gap between man and God seems
to be growing wider. This gap is glaring by the manifestation of great
confusion between the God of Holiness and man's unholiness.
With
man running away from God and hiding in his dead religious systems from
where he irritates Him to maximum, God will surely step in as earlier
said (Psm 199:126).
His
stepping in will be two fold: Revival and Judgment. This is seen in
many cases, in the Old as well as New Testament. In one of such
confusion in the Old Testament, the Lord came down mightily on Mount
Camel to vindicate his holiness in two folds. While some Jews were
falling on their faces and sanctifying the true God of Holiness, the others(false prophets) were being slaughtered.
Yes,
we are now at that point of confusion where the Lord must descend in
two folds to vindicate His Holiness. The believers will receive
deliverance and unbelievers will be trodden to death by the sword of
judgment.
So, where will you spend eternity
Dear brethren, we must be able
to clearly understand the differences between within this 3RD
MILLENNIUM which is the PERIOD that we are now, that the
bible clearly situates for the End of world; and precise dates
which is something the bible clearly says : "..not even the
angles, nor the son knows the date and hour, but only the father(Matth.24:36)". None disputes the truth
that we are not in the End Times:
-Why End Times and in Which period is it
biblically situated?
-Where is
the aftermath period of Daniel 8:14(2300yrs) situated?
-Where is the period of Hosea 6:2(KJV) situated?
All
in this 3rd
MILLENNIUM! Even if the LORD’S
coming tarries, I think neither you nor me, or our children will be able to
exhaust this 3rd Millennium which is a very vast period. There is
a GREAT
REVIVAL coming on the LORD’S Church within this 3rd
Millennium, then the End will come.
Carefully study the Graphic Representation of the 2300yrs of Daniel 8:14 that the LORD gave for the End to come. ( extract from page 3 of the Book ImminenEnd of the world)
