The Signs Of The Times Are Real
The Signs of the Times are REAL! - By Dontwobears www.raptureready.com
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was NOT since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be In light of the End of Times as we are seeing take place every day now, shouldn't we be more concerned with what the Bible tells us, than acquiring all that we can? Great Tribulation is an Ominous situation, especially in light of the fact, that the world will no longer be the same as we know it. There is great thought in that prediction! In other words, if you so choose NOT to believe in a God, that's just fine! Point is though, there is definitely a God, HE hates SIN, and should you turn your back on HIM, HE will turn HIS back on you! Coming from a Just God, that should give you great pause to reflect on your choices concerning HIM! It does NOT matter what YOU think or don't think, it's what GOD thinks and what HE has Prophesied HE will do! As the Comedian Ron White stated, You can't fix Stupid! When you think about Tribulation, the likes of which have never been seen in this world, no, never shall be doesn't that beg the question of where you will be in all of this? Think on this for a moment, everyone loves to be a winner, everyone wants to be on the winning side! Why? No one likes a Loser! 2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." When we read this verse, the obvious question is Which Generation is Jesus talking about? Jesus also said in Matthew 24:32-33 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." So where or how do these two passages intersect and make sense for us? Jesus used the Parable of the Fig Tree to give us a hint as to the Generation that will be alive at the time! Stop and think for a moment about a Generational Tree, Mom and Dad had children, which grew up and had their own children, but the Mom and Dad are still alive, even in the midst of Three Generations. Many of the Baby Boomers are still alive and healthy, with Grand-children today...that is the Generation since Israel was accepted as a Nation in 1948. This Baby Boomer generation will live to at least their 80's right? It is still the generation that will be around for the Rapture! We are Right Nown this last generation which will include the Rapture and thus start the Tribulation!! As far as the Fig Tree, it means the Baby Boomer Generation and the children to follow as branches and leaves, but That Generation (Baby Boomers) shall NOT pass, until these things are fulfilled!! Does this make sense to you now?!
The Prophecies of the Bible are 100% so far, which gives us every reason to believe, that the Prophecies to come, will be fulfilled as well! There literally is no other way to think about it! You might as well write it on a piece of paper and then mark it as a Done Deal! Having tried to make this simple and easy to understand, it's all the more reason (Along with you thinking of only yourself) to get your affairs in order now! There will NOT be a second chance, you pick Jesus Christ or you don't! You have NO control over anything, absolutely NONE! As I have stated before in other articles, there is a Big Black Line and Jesus Christ is on one side and satan is on the other! YOU will be, on one side or the other as well, but you are given a choice, a chance to go to Heaven. That means YOU must choose which side you want to be on! Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."! So if YOU are thinking to yourself, that you are a Good Person, God will save me YOU are dead wrong!! The verse above proves this! You MUST accept the gift of Jesus Christ, otherwise you die in your Sin! And you're thinking it's all about ME! In a way you may be right, IF it comes to choosing Jesus Christ or NOT! Before...YOU...DIE!!
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." This is the Ominous Verses, that tell the whole truth, for every single person that has ever lived on this planet! It is the official statement that shows there is a choice that MUST be made, by each and every person, that no one is excluded and simply put it says Live forever or Die forever! It's one way or the other, there is NO in Between, NO other option, ONE decision with ONE outcome! God Said So... that should be enough for all to understand!
I hope and Pray, that you will understand what has been written concerning the End of Times and know the Gospel of Jesus Christ! With every fiber of my Being I KNOW...Jesus Christ IS the Only Way to Peace and Happiness in Heaven! So I ask you to turn to Jesus Christ and give your life to HIM! The ONLY Peace and comfort for this world, which has entered the End of Times is to be found in the Blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross. There is NO other way, just Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ IS God and always has been. Anyone other than Jesus Christ has been a human Being, charged with the exact same need for Jesus Christ as you are now! If YOU truly are thinking It's all about ME then you need to make sure of where you will be when the Rapture takes place! Or after you die for that matter!
There truly is only ONE GOD and Jesus Christ is HIS name!
We have been discussing the Signs of the Times as in The End of Days or End of Times. I am quite taken with the idea, that the majority of the world is so willing to turn their backs on God and HIS gift of Eternal Life. It has to be the Mother of Oxymorons if there ever has been a thing. Think on this for a moment. Everyone is so very concerned with what all is going on in their lives today, so much so, that the average person could be seen as having telescopes attached to their eyes. All that they see are their own, personal, hopes and dreams, their own unique little problems and seldom are they willing to take these telescopes off and see the rest of the world. They are almost never concerned with anything other than their Stuff or their pleasures, they are literally consumed in this. The problems creep in like a slithering snake, when the wants and desires of one collide with those of another. Then we hear, That's mine or Your's in my space and the worst expression of all time is the It's all about ME! This is where I have been focusing my attention, to a degree. Everyone wants what they want and that's all that they want, but when they finally get what they want, they decide they want something more, so the wants just keep growing. The need for cash to acquire said wants grows as well and now we open up a new field in the world, of satisfying said wants. Problem is, everyone has some sort of special desire or want and the world has to be cognizant this. It matters little to anyone, just how depraved some of these people are, Pedophiles for instance. The point is, it's all about a single individual, again, It's all about ME! And the problem grows immediately when we consider there are over 7 billion people on this planet!
Now...looking at this immensely growing problem, there are questions and as with most problems, very few answers. What is unique, is that each and every person has these telescopes on and everyone is paying severely close attention to their own needs and wants. So I decided to throw a monkey wrench in the works! I began asking the question, if life is about meeting your singular wants and desires, what do you think things will be like after your dead?? I always get the look of death for asking such a weird question and then the usual Huh?! Then I am required to ask the question again, because who in their right mind would think of asking something like that to begin with. Why would you ask that?! You have nothing better to think about all day, than death?! Wow, get a life!Is the usual second barrage of statements. Then I say something like Well, everyone wants to be the most gorgeous or handsome, right? So when you die, that all goes away and horribly at that!, right? Now they see I am a little serious. If beauty is the greatest thing, wouldn't their death be of greater concern to them? I mean, think about the changes going on. And then ask yourself, why we only get 70-80 years to live? And then what about growing old, I mean, you never hear of a beauty Pageant for the Elderly, right? This is the point where they get a worried look on their face and try and slink away un-noticed.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." We must understand that these are the people of this world right now! If you don't recognize them, then you must have your head in the ground like an Ostrich! What is more important, the Bible says the situation will get worse and worse, but since no one is paying any attention, how are they going to know this? Remember those Telescopes on their eyes! If beauty is the greatest thing, you get 20-30 years with it and then it all goes away, now you're an Elderly person and the Beauty Pageants have stopped. Same thing goes with money! Besides that, when you die, it all stays right here! The cars, the big house and the Big Bank Accounts and Portfolios, all your clothes and jewelry, it worthless, you no longer need it! Problem is, no one is thinking about this! You also leave that Once beautiful or Handsome Body behind and it all goes back into the ground, just bones. So if you think about it, if you're willing to consider a life after death, then what should you be concerned about?! How about the condition of your Spirit?! According to the Bible, that is the only part of you that continues on in Eternity!
I don't think people are running around and saying the Bible is worthless, without first facing the fact, that the Bible states there is a God and that there is a Life after death! That really is the Crux of the Matter here. Oops...there is a greater authority! I am not to do things, just cause they feel good to me, I'm not supposed to just think of myself anymore! Oh Wow! What a concept to consider! All of a sudden you begin to see those 70-80 years will just zip on by in no time and what have you accomplished in reality? Oh No!! Now you’re wondering, if there is a life after death, then where will I be?! Where is all the info on this, I have a need to know this stuff! All of a sudden the world has gone from a great big party place to a dry and seriously small place, where you get to face these questions. The very fabric of time changes and now your brain is pumping on all 8 cylinders, the sweating starts along with the clammy hands and the racing of your heart! Someone comes along and hands you a Bible, where all the answers are, but you in all your wisdom and great Intellect, YOU turn it down?! That is the dumbest thing in all your life to do, considering the new questions that are bouncing around inside your head! Jesus Christ says,I am the way, the truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father except through me! You have the answers right there in your hand, you have the opportunity to live on into Eternity, in happiness and Peace, like you have never known! But you don't want Jesus Christ?! You would rather be, as the Bible says For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God! And now you want everyone else to be the same as you? Somehow, somewhere along the way, you think being that kind of a person is the fun thing to be? But...I thought it was all about...YOU! That just doesn't make any sense to me! You get to live on this planet for 70-80 years? And that is the only thing you're concerned with, your time here and now? You do realize there is an Eternity and the two choices for your life there is either in Heaven or in Hell! Seeing you are only concerned with yourself...don't you want to go where the Love and Peace are? Where your young and vibrant forever more?! Did I miss something here?!
Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Knowing this verse and adding it to your life as NOT saved to Jesus Christ, you choose to die again?! A second time?! Believe me, the death in Hell never ends, the suffering and pain go on forever and ever, without end! This is exactly the point, that Jesus Christ wants desperately to save you from, He wants you to join HIM in Heaven! Like I said before, The Mother of Oxymorons is alive and well in the world today. Taking into consideration, of just how close the Rapture is, it would be the smartest thing in your entire life to re-consider the Offer or the Gift of Jesus Christ! Once the Rapture or Death takes place, you have just stepped across the Dividing Line and there is no recourse after that for you. If you accept Jesus Christ, you will have Heaven for eternity! Deny Jesus Christ and you will have Hell for all Eternity! It's all about ME has never existed in the Bible, it's all about Jesus Christ first and then you, but the ultimate question is only for you to answer! To be continued...!
