Matthew 24:1-8 King James Version (KJV)

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Jesus is Coming Back! Be Ready!

We’ve been hearing this call for over 2000 years now. In truth we must always be ready to go and stand before the Lord (Rev 16:15), but many have tried to predict the exact date of the end of the world. False prophets have come out trying to say the year of His return even the day, but all have failed. Jesus himself said that only the Father knows the day and hour.

Mark 13:32-37 King James Version (KJV)

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Wars, Rumors of war,
Plagues,
Famines,
Natural Disasters

Luke 21:25-28 King James Version (KJV)

 25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

 26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Luke 18:7-8 King James Version (KJV)

 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Be Ready for The Tribulation & Rapture!

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 King James Version (KJV)

 1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

 7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

 9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

 11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Luke 21:34-36 King James Version (KJV)

 34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The next major Biblical event to come is the tribulation, the rise of the Antichrist and the final kingdom of Babylon. After this Jesus will come like a thief in the night and rescue the faithful elect, and remove the Holy Spirit from earth as well (2 Thess 2:6-7) saving us from the wrath of God (1 Thess 1:9-10). The Antichrist will at first reign as a world leader of peace, but towards the end he will remove his mask and reveal himself as God in the 3rd temple Jerusalem. Below is a Biblical timeline that shows where we are. (I did update my notes based on “After the tribulation; Matt 24:29”). You may click on image to zoom.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 King James Version (KJV)

 1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

 8And 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:

 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


These following notes are taken from “Una Interpretacion del Apocalipsis” by the late pastor: Domingo Fernandez (An interpretation of Revelation) It’s in Spanish so this is a summarized translation of his notes.


Revelation 9

 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
(The Star falling from heaven is Satan; Luke 10:18, and the bottomless pit is hell)
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

(The smoke is possibly spiritual darkness, as the world is covered in spiritual darkness)

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
(These Locusts are more than likely demons (evil spirits) fallen angels, possibly released from their imprisonment 2 Pet 2:4? These are bad influences that will be unleashed to roam the earth tormenting all those not chosen by God; Footnotes: Ex 12:23, Ez 9:4).
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-bible-text/2Pe-2.html?vhl=4http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-bible-text/Ex-12.html?vhl=23http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-bible-text/Eze-9.html?vhl=4shapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2

Below: 2 Thessalonians 2:3 mentions the falling away of the church. This is happening already as some of todays top preachers are falling away from the faith, weakening the message of God, and giving heed to the world. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 is talking about the removal of the Holy Spirit or Church. This is possibly the rapture occurring sometime down the line of the tribulation.

1 Timothy 4:1 King James Version (KJV)

 1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Revelation 1:7 King James Version (KJV)

 7Behold, 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.

Pretty soon it’s Christians who will be hiding in secret, afraid to come out to profess their faith. Those who have “Genuine Faith” will be a small number, Jesus explains.

Psalm 89:7-11 King James Version (KJV)

 7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

 8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

 9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

 10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

 11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)

 14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Matthew 24:21 King James Version (KJV)

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.

Revelation 17:3-6 King James Version


So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.



Tribulation period, The Rapture, and 2nd Coming of Christ.
The tribulation will be a very busy time period. Christians will be persecuted and killed and see the first part of it. The breaking of the 1st seal is the rise of the White Horseman (Conquerer) the Antichrist?; Rev 6:1-2. Along with the White Horse will ride; the Red Horseman (War), Black Horseman (Famine), and the Pale Horseman (Death & Hell). Up until now in history we’ve experience all of these sorrows here and there, but during the Tribulation it will be on a scale never seen before; Matt 24:21. The Rapture of the Church is after the tribulation Mark 13:24-27 just prior to he wrath of God. During this time in heaven will be the marriage supper of the Lamb to the Bride, the Lamb’s wife (The Church); Rev 19:7-9. On earth will be the Great Tribulation and the wrath of God. Those left on earth during this time who repent will be killed, but saved; Rev 6:9-11, Rev 20:4. Those who follow the Antichrist will accept the Mark of the Beast, the 666 and be doomed; Rev 14:11. 


>>Watch Mark of the Beast

The final kingdom of Babylon and the Antichrist is set to last 7 years divided in two halves. How do we know this? A clue is given in; Dan 9:27, “One week” in Daniel is a period of 7 years. Another clue can be found in; Rev 11:2-3, Rev 12:6, Rev 13:5. It is during the first half of the 7 years of Tribulation that Satan will work his wrath through the Antichrist “The Man of Sin”; 2 Thess 2:3. When the Antichrist is revealed he will set up the “Abomination of desolation” in the 3rd temple in Jerusalem; Matt 24:15. When this happens it will be 3.5 years till the Second Coming of Christ; Dan 12:11-12, 2 Thess 2:8. This 2nd half will be called the “Great Tribulation” when God unleashed his wrath on the earth.

Revelation 9:17-21 King James Version (KJV)
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Lots of doubters and mockers out there who make fun of Revelation. They don’t believe in a dragon or the beasts mentioned therein. Keep in mind; when John of Patmos received this vision it was 2000 years ago. They had no electricity yet, no technology, no anything we see now. So John described it as he saw it. You can see by the poster above what John saw. Fire and brimstone that issued from their mouth and tails. I believe John was describing our future weapons of war.


Revelation 6:15-17 King James Version (KJV)
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Tribulation period and wrath of God include: The 7 Seals; The 7 Trumpets; The 7 Vials of Judgement. After all this is the Second coming of the Lord Jesus on a white horse; Rev 19:11 with the Saints who will do battle against the armies of Satan; Jude 14-15. Satan will be defeated and Jesus will actually set foot on the mount of Olives; Zech 14:4. This is followed by 1000 years of peace “the Millennium” with Jesus in charge with a rod of iron; Rev 19:15. Satan will be bound for those 1000 years, but will be released one more time for the final battle. Satan will be defeated once again and cast into the Lake of Fire forever and ever; Rev 20:10.

The book of Revelation is hard to understand but it’s not impossible. As we draw closer to the final stages the prophecies of Daniel, Matthew 24 & Revelation become clearer and more evident. God gives all men wisdom and knowledge if you ask and seek it with all diligence; James 1:5. If you still don’t understand it that’s OK so long as you place all your trust in the Lord; Prov 3:5. Repent from sin, surrender your life over to Jesus and abide in his word. Sleep well at night in peace knowing He will keep you forever no matter what happens; Psalm 4:8, Matt 10:29-31.
               

                

 



When Jesus returns for the 2nd time he will literally set foot on the Mount of Olives.

Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world. The world is already condemned. He came to save the world from sin.


Jesus is knocking at your door, but you must invite Him into your life. That decision is yours make. The door He speaks of is the door to your heart.

The Harlot and the beast from Rev 17 represent two distinct organizations. The Beast represents a political power, and the Harlot represents a religious power, the false church. Verse 6; the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints and martyrs of Jesus. Just remember the millions who were tortured and killed during the inquisition. The RCC without a doubt is the Harlot along with all the false religions of the world, and many more will die by her hand before it is all said and done. In Rev 17:16 the beast will hate the whore and seek to destroy her. I don’t know too much about this subject, but my guess is the Beast is getting fed up with the RCC? Others say the beast will use the harlot to gain control, and then turn on her.

All sorts of sin related problems.

Boa Constrictors and Burmese Pythons are not native to Florida. They are an invasive species and are multiplying out of control, feeding on the native creatures, farm animals and pets. Asian Snakeheads are breeding out of control in canals and rivers. These are all problems in nature caused by man. Now I’m no great economist by far, I’m just learning what GDP means, and comodities, etc., but this photo collage was put together back in 2011, when the stock market was shaky and going south. We have been seeing record highs now in the stock market and people are jumping for joy. But is that going to last? Were any of the problems truly fixed? How come the poor are still struggling to make ends meet? Who’s meager wages can’t provide for even the cheapest rent. Who’s much needed hours and benefits are being cut, forcing many to work 2, even 3 jobs while being asked to pay more on all fronts. Even just driving to and from work is literally a mine field of cameras, tolls and tickets. From what I’m seeing and reading about, it looks like the powers that be, and the wealthy are making a run for it. Greed and self-preservation has fully consumed them. They are seeing dollar signs $$$. Or should I say, “alternative money signs other than the dollar”? Reports and common sense indicate that the fall of the once mighty dollar is looming overhead. Or is it? The US is using it’s military might to preserve its currency strong even thought the nation itself is grossly in debt with no end in sight. The recent signing of the TPP assures the US will have less low balling competition therefore keeping its greedy prices high. “Everyone fend for yourselves”! “Invest in Gold and Silver”, they say! All the while the common man is being oppressed and placed back into bondage in the form of financial slavery (debt). But I don’t have any Gold or Silver. Does that mean I’m not worth anything? Does that make me a peasant? With so much blatant greed, corruption, and oppression going on something’s got to give in the whole scheme of things? Daniel 8:25.

 

I’ve highlighted “accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass”. From what I’m learning in the Bible the Church will not go through the final wrath period. The church will be raptured indeed right after the Antichrist is revealed just prior to the wrath of God.

8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:


Job 5:8-10 King James Version (KJV)

Man may try to alter the weather and nature but I still see God’s mighty hand still at work. Ultimately God is in control of the weather. God is also good and merciful. Use this day to seek God and return to him in humility and repentance.

Jehovah’s Witness / Watchtower
Failed predictions that were either explicitly stated or strongly implied, particularly linked to dates in 1914, 1918, 1925 and 1975, have led to the alteration or abandonment of some doctrines.

The Millerites / Adventists / SD-Remnant- The Great Disappointment

October 22, 1844, that day of great hope and promise, ended like any other day to the disappointment of the Millerites. Both Millerite leaders and followers were left generally bewildered and disillusioned. Responses varied: some Millerites continued to look daily for Christ’s return, others predicted different dates—among them April, July, and October 1845. Some theorized that the world had entered the seventh millennium, the “Great Sabbath”, and that, therefore, the saved should not work. *Special Note: SDA & SDR (Remnant) are huge promoters of the “imminent rapture/return theory”. Probably due to their early prediction failure what better way to keep their falsehood going?

FAIL

The beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:8 King James Version (KJV)

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Luke 21:25-28 King James Version (KJV)

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

Various views on the tribulation.
Explanation and definition: The following views on the Tribulation Period are in reality more properly views concerning the time of Christ’s coming for His Church. This event is often referred to as the “rapture” of the Church, from the Latin translation of 1 Thess 4:17, rapturo, “to lift up”. In the Greek original it is harpadzo, “to grab, to take up”.

Here the issue is the time of our Lord’s coming for his Church (1 Thess 4:17) in relation to the final seven years of this age, as described in Daniel 9:27. Strictly speaking, the “Great Tribulation” begins at the middle of the this seven year period (Matthew 24:21) when the “Man of Sin” (commonly called, “the Antichrist”) commits a great public blasphemous act, “the Abomination of Desolation” (Matt 24:15, 2 Thess 2:3-4, 8-9).

Let all, however, keep in mind that:

Our Lord is coming back for his Church (John 14:1-3, 1 Thess 4:13-18);
His Church is “not appointed to wrath”, i.e., God’s wrath (1 Thess 1:10, 1 Thess 5:9);
No one knows the exact time of his coming (Matt 24:36, 42, 44);
Recent predictors have incorrectly named the day, month, and year of our Lord’s Second coming repeatedly time after time during this century. They have claimed to have counted the days of Noah’s flood, the day of the blowing of the trumpets in Lev 23:24, or some other formula, and many have claimed to have had this revealed to them by the Lord-all incorrectly.
The commandment of our Lord to his Chuch has been, “Watch therefor: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matt 24:42). This has been taken to mean that the coming of Christ is imminent, i.e., it may occur at any time, and the basis of our ever being alert is that we cannot know the time of his arrival, and therefor must constantly be on watch; and
the sure promise of his second coming is the “blessed hope” of the Church (Titus 2:13). This blessed hope is not to be marred by differences among sincere believers as to the precise schedule of end-time events.

  6. (f)the sure promise of his second coming is the “blessed hope” of the Church (Titus 2:13). This blessed hope is not to be marred by differences among sincere believers as to the precise schedule of end-time events.

Lots of topics in the Word, and I like yourself am studying and learning something new everyday and keeping watch. Lots of theories on the rapture too. I too had been leaning towards the pre-tribulation rapture, but after hearing what others have to say and pointing out Matt 24:29-31 I’m believing not so much pre-tribulation but pre-wrath is what’s promised in the Bible. Christians will indeed go through the tribulation and be killed; Rev 6:9-11. Christians will be persecuted, framed as criminals for disobeying the new wicked mandates of men, and killed for their testimony of the Word. But if you place your faith in guns thinking you can try to correct the situation by your own vengeance then you too will be killed; Rev 13:9-10, Rom 12:19. (Jesus taught to love your enemies, and to offer the other cheek; Luke 6:29, 35). Mind you I do not follow mainstream pastors, nor do I read from a Scofield Bible, nor have seen the “Left behind series” but the pre-tribulation rapture theory has been the popular belief in most churches. The imminent return theory is also pushed by Seventh Day Adventists (SDA). As you may or may not know, the SDA had a failed prediction from William Miller, and they base themselves on the teachings of the false prophetess Ellen G. White. Yes, nobody knows the day or the hour, and we must also keep watch and be ready to go at any moment. There are a series of events to watch out for which must take place all leading up to the rapture and 2nd coming of the Lord; Matt 24:32-33. Below is a recent video in which a group of pastors point out Matt 24:29-31 and help to explain the timing of the rapture is not pre-tribulation but just prior to the wrath of God upon the earth, after the 3rd temple is built and the Antichrist / the man of sin reveals himself in the temple of God; 2 Thess 2:2-7.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 King James Version (KJV)

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Lots of people hating on Chick these days because Chick points out repentance to be saved. Some are preaching this doctrine of you don’t need to repent to be saved only believe. Well James said if you believe but don’t do what the word says you’re deceiving yourself; James 1:22, and your faith is dead; James 2:17-20. John the Baptist preached repentance. Also the 1st thing Jesus said when he began his 3 year ministry was “Repent ye, and believe the gospel”; Mark 1:15, Luke 5:32. And the last thing Jesus said when he finished his ministry was to preach repentance and remissions of sins to the people.; Luke 24:47. Again Peter continued right along as instructed by saying the exact same thing in Acts 2:38. If that’s not enough see what happens to those who believe in Jesus but did not obey the heavenly Father’s will of repentance; Matt 7:21, Acts 17:30, 2 Pet 3:9. So these men who are going against the commandment of repentance are mistaken and if they refuse to repent and teach otherwise as instructed by the Lord then they are FALSE! But in regards to the Rapture, I have read the Chaos issue where it mentions the Rapture is before the tribulation. Their understanding of the tribulation is the 7 years of the Antichrist, but Paul explains in 2 Thess 2 that the “man of sin” must be revealed first, and this will take place midway through the 7 year tribulation period; Dan 9:27. So again, Chick’s understanding on the timing of the Rapture does not discredit Chick in my eyes. The scriptures say the Church will not endure the hour of temptation; Rev 3:10. The pre-tribulation Rapture theory may lead to a disappointment when things start to go drastically down hill and we find ourselves still here going through it; Rev 6:9-11. A review of Matt 24:29-31 tells us plainly it will be at the end, after the tribulation of those days. Jesus then goes on into the parable of the fig tree, and the days of Noah, and the days of Lot, then the two women in the field, etc. Jesus is Lord! Listen to him. Even though we might disagree on the timing, we all look towards the Rapture, and the appearing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

Revelation 13:4 King James Version (KJV)

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

So what is taking so long for the Second Coming? Is the rapture really going to happen? From my own Bible studies, I’ve come to learn that God is being very patient 2 Pet 3:9. Time is flying and the Gospel is being preached in the entire world, in every country. God wants to rescue every last soul. Prophesy also has to be fulfilled; Rev 6:11, Rev 17:17. I’m happy to hear that in other parts of the world thousands are accepting Christ. Sadly though, they are also being persecuted for the faith. There will come a time when few will answer the call. From what I can see in today’s world, at least here in the states, is a spiritual apathy and a strong antichrist spirit. The godless are gaining ground, and Christianity is losing ground. Christianity is also divided. We see a large number falling into apostasy.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Global Warming or Global Sinning??? As in the days of Lot.

Global warning, perhaps the biggest hoax of the 21st century. “Just blame it on Global Warming”, they say! Well let’s try to simplify this mess of the weather we’ve been experiencing in the past couple of years. Some scientist have been hard at work terrifying the public into believing the world was drastically going to warm up and go haywire unless we act now to control our emissions and energy use. Years later and weather patterns aren’t that much different. Some record highs? Yes. Some record lows? Yes! But that’s according to modern kept records since roughly 1880. We've been experiencing some snow storms lately, also heavy rains, floods, landslides, erosions, droughts, cat 5+ hurricanes, F5 tornadoes, golf ball sized hail, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, lots of earthquakes here and there, lots of smog too in certain cities, but not the drastic change they were crying wolf about. The weather is actually quite nice for the most part. Sea levels are staying put. What did change was the definition of marriage along with many new laws, also those energy bills, and by change I mean those bills have been going up steadily as well as immorality. The story keeps changing too. 1st, it was Global Cooling in the 70’s. Then, Global Warming, now it's Climate Change to help explain all the freakish weather events. All the while the nations are all jockeying into position for control of food and energy resources so that they can in turn sell it back to the people at interest. Somehow reducing emissions is costing the average taxpayer more money. Go figure. Now we sit at the brink of all out war once again. Is WW3 going to help fix global warming? No! Is man responsible for mistreating the planet? Yes! Blame it on man! Blame it on global sinning!
Man has been irresponsible with pollution, illegal and irresponsible dumping, deforestation, over fishing, altering of crops/GMO’s, along with many other violations of our natural habitats, all for money and power. But don’t forget about the rise of sin in society! The SIN levels are up! Way up! There is indeed a direct correlation between the rise of sin and the problems of the world. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah; 2 Pet 2:5-6. Are these funky weather patterns the Biblical-cataclysmic events foretold in the Word? I believe what we have been experiencing lately are birth pangs, the beginning of sorrows or a taste of miseries yet to come. The full wrath of God is still waiting on cue, and it will be so severe and devastating there should be no doubt who’s heavy hand is falling upon them; Rev 15:1. Man is indeed kindling the wrath of God ready to fall on them by their own evil deeds and by their own rebellion to God’s will; Ps 94:20-24, Rev 9:20-21, Rev 16:9-11. But just a reminder to all peoples that Biblically there have always been droughts, and floods, and pestilences as a direct result from sin and the fall of man, even way, way before the carbon emissions scare; Gen 3:17, Hos 4:1-3. Solar eruptions, earthquakes, volcanos and meteors have nothing to do with man-made carbon emissions. Jesus said all these miserable weather events and plagues will be increasing as the end nears; Matt 24:7. So looking unto Jesus through this whole mess of things in the world. It’s better to place your faith and trust in your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not on man who is confused, greedy, pragmatic and dishonest; Ps 116:11, Jer 17:5. Man has no real solutions to the world’s problems but is in fact the cause of them; Ps 118:8-9, Ps 146:3-4. Repent of your sins. Ask forgiveness from God in Jesus name. Keep his word until the end. Sleep well at night; Jer 17:7, Romans 8:35-39, Prov 3:24-26, Isa 44:24-28.
 

Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

Revelation 6:1-6 King James Version (KJV)


And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew 6:19-20 King James Version (KJV)

Great video about the rapture with a major doctrinal error at the end. I was looking for more info on the rapture and this video really helped. I updated my notes and chart. I appreciate the teachings out of the KJV and highlighting Matt 24:29-31 is key. I do disagree with the ending where Scott Anderson tells his congregation that we do not need to repent in order to be saved. That was a curveball contrary to Jesus teachings and it requires a review by the young pastor. The Rapture is not imminent as some believe. There are some events yet to happen before the Rapture, but we must be ready to go at all times. A few other minor stuff on there I didn’t agree with but I got the gist of this particular message loud and clear and that is Matt 24:29-31. Thanks! The Rapture will take place after the tribulation just prior to the wrath of God. Some are now firing back against this video in regards to the pre-tribulation Rapture theory which falls flat next to the word of God. That’s understandable if that’s what we’ve been taught to believe and we often wrestle with the truth until it sinks in. And they mention some things I noticed too as far as appearing on Alex Jones, but I’m looking at the scripture. I just saw this again from start to finish and it’s pretty solid in regards to this one topic on the chronology of the Rapture. Pastors Steven Anderson and Roger Jimenez are young, but elder Kent Hovind also sheds his input. I find no fault in Roger Jimenez (unless he too teaches the same no repentance, no baptism, belief only?) but Steven Anderson has some learning and maturing to do regarding the call to repentance, and other misc. teachings along with a heavy novice pride issue, 1 Tim 3:6 and ungodly temper tantrums. I would not recommend taking his word very seriously above the actual Bible and Holy Spirit. Like this video or not, and some clearly do not, I’m taking what is true out of it and discarding the rest; 1 Thess 5:21. Jesus says clearly “after the tribulation of those days” is when he will send his angels to gather his elect from the four corners; Matt 24:29-31. And what comes next after the Rapture of the church is the Great Wrath of God. The key thing to be vigilant for as a sign that the Rapture is near is the rebuilding of the 3rd temple in Jerusalem in which the Antichrist will reveal himself as God in defiance and betrayal of Israel; 2 Thess 2.

I took the time to copy this text from the back of my KJV Study Bible. Some notes on the Rapture.

Matthew 24:41-42 King James Version (KJV)

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

There is a heated debate as to when the Rapture is going to take place, even some doubting the Rapture is literal. Is there a difference between the Rapture of the Church, and the Second coming of Christ with the saints to rule on the earth for the millennium? Two similar events, yet both are separate in nature. The important thing to remember here is not so much the “when” but to “watch”, “pray” and “be ready” to go at any moment. Are you ready and worthy to stand before the Son of Man? Matt 24:44.


I really do appreciate having the Lord’s Word handy in today’s day and age of false prophets and teachers. I do notice a lot of bashing going on instead of teaching, and I do not sense the gentile, loving Holy Spirit in some of these so-called teachers. Yes, it’s frustrating trying to teach people even the littlest of things but we must be patient. I do agree with the After-the-tribulation video which points out Matt 24:29-31. One cannot argue with the Word. The Rapture is Biblical, it is literal as we can read in 1 Thess 4:16-17. However there has been a popular belief that this will take place before the tribulation or pre-tribulation as they call it. I’ve come to understand that this will not be the case, but more accurately it will be pre-wrath, after the tribulation of the last days just as Jesus said in Matt 24:29. So again thank you Jesus for your Word. Be careful with the videos on youtube, not all are genuine. Some are OK but with minor errors. Others are completely deceptive. You really need to know the Bible to distinguish between the good and the bad. One doctrinally bad video I saw had plenty of likes and good comments. Poor people are duped by fast talkers throwing verses out there not really understanding the scriptures; 2 Pet 3:16. Keep reading and learning, stay on top of the situation with Jesus through his Word and Holy Spirit.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days”...

Matthew 24:29-31 King James Version (KJV)

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

1 Corinthians 15:21-24 King James Version (KJV)

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 King James Version (KJV)

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 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.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 King James Version (KJV)

16 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:

17 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.

 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 King James Version (KJV)

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.

Revelation 1:1-3 King James Version (KJV)


The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Apocalypse (greek) apokalypsis; “Lifting the veil” or “Revelation”.


The book of Revelation is a very hard book to understand, but it’s not impossible. God gave us the book of Revelation to read, study and do what it says:

As always it’s best to call on God in reverence, and ask for His guidance. The Holy Spirit will guide and reveal to us the mysteries of the Bible, and the more you know the other books, the better off you will be at understanding it. I’ve read Daniel, and all of the Old testament prophets, Matthew 24 and they all line up perfectly with St. John‘s Revelation and the end times sequence of events. Revelation is the culmination of all the prophetic books of the Bible. I’m not going to cover much these events in detail on here to keep this section short and concise, just know that for a book written 2000 years ago the predictions are 100% true and uncanny. I’ve always wanted to know what the Locusts and Scorpions meant in Chapter 9, so here is a glimpse.

This book is in Spanish. Domingo Fernandez passed away many years ago but he was one of the best preachers of our time, reaching the Spanish speaking congregations with solid, fundamental Bible knowledge. This book is available online if you are interested in reading his notes? I’m very glad to have access to this information, although there is a tiny margin of error within, and that is understandable. He says that there are some things in Revelation that hard to understand even for him. Be advised it is only a commentary. I hear pastors all the time on this subject, and I’ve yet to hear one that is 100% spot on. The only book I trust and rely on 100% is the Authorized King James Bible. OK, regardless, I’m able to gain plenty of insight by pastor Dominguez’s notes and I recommend this as a useful book if you read spanish.
