Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are nearing home. Jesus Christ told us in His Word what would be happening at the end of time. He also informed us of His experiences, and stated that His followers would be treated as He was treated. Matthew 24:4-13 states “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 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.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. He also states that those things which have occurred previously, will happen again as well as the fact that He requires past things to re-occur. See Ecclesiastes 1:9. And 3:15.
Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Christ gave many similar warnings, 2Timothy 3:1-7 states “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Christ also states that He tells us of things to come, so that when those things come to pass, or occur, that we might believe. Also He tells us that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, shall every word be established. 2Corinthians 13:1, Matthew 18:16, and Numbers 35:30.
To wrap this message up, Christ tells us in John 14:29 “And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.”
Christ also tells us in 1John 4: 9-13 “ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (the full payment)
1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
1Jn 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
I pray God that we are living in His spirit, and allowing His spirit to live and abide in us. He is coming back soon, to get all those persons who have His spirit, and are obeying His LAWS. John 14:15 states
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” God Bless all those who read and understand!
