But The One Who Endures

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.  Ephesians 4:1-6 NASB

My friends, we cannot make a move without God Jesus Christ Holy Spirit. His judgment on mankind’s rebellion, sin, and wickedness is coming to the earth. There is a quickening. The Lord’s revelations  teach of Jesus Christ appearing and His return.  Read and reread the Bible - There are a number of prophetic signs described in the books of Daniel, Matthew, Luke, and 1 Timothy - these aren't the only indicators of the last days, but they are significant and have been shared by Holy Spirit. 

Luke 21:25-28 NASB There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

This world is not our home. That is why it doesn’t fit. It’s too small. That displaced feeling isn’t remedied by conforming to “fit in” with the worlds culture around us, not when the Kingdom of God is the domain for which we were created!  from the moment we are created, all the while since, Holy Spirit teaches us that God has placed eternity in our hearts and we won’t be satisfied with less. (take time to read Ecclesiastes 3) AMEN! 

Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the sign of His coming and the end of the age because they understood that all seasons are identified by signs. Keep in mind that a Biblical sign represents a higher spiritual reality - we absolutely need God’s help to understand the scope of His divine warnings such as…. ..deception, false prophets, wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, famine and pestilence, earthquakes, persecution of the church, offences, lawlessness, love growing cold, the preaching of the gospel in all the world, fear, an increase in knowledge, the shortening of time, the rebirth of the nation of Israel, the abandonment of a religious belief, perplexity, and shakings.

Matthew 24:1-14 NASB “Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

God is speaking to us through the Bible and we must respond to His word. 

In today’s culture, thousands are being deceived by false gospels and are turning away from faith in Jesus Christ - its easy to become swept up in ideologies that are contrary to the Scriptures - therefore we must prayerfully weigh these ideas against sound biblical doctrine. Deception occurs when we either are ignorant of, or reject, God’s Truth.

My friends, it is imperative that we go straight to the Bible, daily, prayerfully reading Book of Genesis through Book of Revelation. God gave man permission to put on paper His holy word, the entire Old Testament and New Testament. We are not to cut up the Word to suit the narrative of people.
