Who said the second coming our Lord Jesus Christ is a far away and a distance event? Many are the so-called Christians who have failed to be abreast with the prophetic end-time events to sleep spiritually. Some relish themselves of their loyalties to their various churches as they don’t miss a day to attend services and observe their man-made Christian traditions as pointed out by the apostles.
The Apostle Paul experienced this phenomenon with the Colossian church. Col chapter 2 verse 8 “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to the elemental spirits of the world”.
As the church grew from Jerusalem, the devil also caused confusion by putting in heresies and human traditions such as the celebration of pagan festival like Christmas and Easter.
Jesus foretold of this watered-down doctrines in Mathew chapter 24:4 “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and they will lead many astray”.
For 2,000 plus years that Jesus foretold this, the world has continued to take his words for granted to the extent of doubting his second coming to judge this world. So talk of the imminent return of Jesus Christ and many Christians and non-Christians alike scoff of this prophesied world event.
“Since time immemorial we have heard Jesus is coming again. He is not coming now? This has been their entrenched position to deny the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the righteous to external life.
Again many are those who have taken their entrenched false hope that “the righteous dead are already in heaven reclaiming in the bosom of Abraham and that it is the RAPTURE that is going to spirit the living away from this earth to join with the Christians in Heaven”.
To them, there is no need for Christ to come down the second time, but this and other vain philosophies are what Christ warmed his true servants to avoid.
Jesus Christ is surely coming the second time to establish his righteous Kingdom on this planet and judge people and nations accordingly.
DON’T MIND THE FOOLISH TEACHERS OF THE FALSE CHURCHES, THEY ARE LIKE BALAAM WHO PREACHED FOR GAINS.
It is a pity that those who claim to know God and believe in his Son Jesus have turned the gospel into falsehood and have failed to prepare their congregations towards the second coming of Christ.
They preach prosperity, deliverance and miracles to draw away innocent souls from the true gospel as preached by Christ and the early Apostles. But in spite of their false teachings, Jesus Christ is Soon to appear for all to witness this great event, if only you are not dead before it happens.
And if you died in righteousness you are assured of being quickened in a twinkle of an eye to life not a flesh and blood body but as a spirit being to live forever.
SO WHERE ARE WE IN BIBLE PROPHECY CONCERNING THE MASS RESURRECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE HOLY ONE?
Let us run through first the litany of prophecies concerning the end- time, the very time you and I are living in as spelt out in the book of Mathew chapter 24 and see whether they have come to pass or will just happen today or tomorrow as the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds tick away from you.
Read Mathew chapter 24 verse 3, “As he sat on the Mount of the Olives, the disciples came to him privately saying, tell us, when will these things (prophecies) be and what will be the SIGN of your coming and the close of the age?”
This conversation took place prior to the end of the B. C (Before Christ) era which tailed to the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
We continue with Mathew chapter 24 and get the answer Jesus gave to his disciples (including you and I). Verse 4 “And Jesus answer them. See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and they will lead many astray.”
Comments: Are we not witnessing such apostasy today as so called Men of God are deceiving people with the bible?
Verse 6: “And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars.”
Comments: Since the end of World War II the world has witnessed several regional conflicts from the Korea war in 1953, the Arab-Israel war in 1949, 1967 and 1973. The Gulf War 1 and 2, the US-led NATO invasion of Afghanistan, the Isreal-Hizbollah war, the Britain and Argentina Falklands war and now the on-going US-led Coalition war in Syria which Russia has joined to create more tension in the Middle East.
It all add up to make for nations rising against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. What about famines and earthquakes as prophesied by Jesus? The fact that Ghana has not experiences a heavy earthquake does not rule us out of this phenomenon. Our 1997 Independence Day earthquake of 8 plus magnitude is enough to swallow our pride
Verse 8: “All these are but the beginning of the birth pangs.”
Comments: If the aforementioned events may be interpreted as “past” or on-going the rest which are yet to come including the 3rd Nuclear world war with all the attendant release of biological and chemical agents is more frightening to consider the release of the Ebola and the HIV agents, in Africa as a test of what the Western powers have in their arsenals.
At the United Nations headquarters in New York is the Isaiah message etched on a granite stone promising peace to the world after World War II. What is written in Isaiah chapter 2 verse 4 says “And they shall beat their swards into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore”.
Yes, the promise of Isaiah chapter 2 verse 4 has been broken by nations as the world has not known peace since the end of World War II.
Now what has prevented the nations ushering the world into committing cosmocide by the use of nuclear and biological weapons?
The war in the Mid-East is gradually moving into that direction. President Asaad of Syria has been accused of using poison gas to kill thousands of the rebels and unarmed civilians in the raging war.
Israel ad Iran, both in possessing of nuclear weapons are in cat and mouse game in the very dangerous region. Pakistan, a nuclear power and an Islamic state may go over to help his Islamic colleagues in Iraq at any given time.
The Papacy in Rome is also observing the situation in the Mid-East with Jerusalem as his focus. Jesus warned of the Papacy referred to as the “False Prophet and the Great whore” who has committed adultery with nations and who in the near future would use subterfuge to gain access to the Jerusalem Temple to install himself as the “Vicar of Christ”.
It is the Papacy who the Prophet Daniel described as the abomination of the highest in the book of Daniel Chapter 9 verse 27. Jesus in his litany of end-time events quoted Daniel in Mat chapter 24 verse 25 saying: “So when you see the abomination of the desolation (of the Jerusalem Temple) spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea (now modern Israel) to flee to the mountains”.
But the more dangerous of the litany of prophesies is the famine of God’s word. God is in the process of cutting off the preaching of his word as the coming Tribulation will make it impossible for the preaching of his word.
Jesus talked about this last end-time preaching of his word in verse 14 of Mat 24. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come”
Therefore, you reading this piece is a testimony of God’s Kingdom message being preached in Ghana as against the background of false teachings by the false prophets.
Now that the end is about to end what is left that Jesus is still waiting? The answer is the book of Revelation chapter 7. What is there?
Jesus is sealing his people-those he would not let them go through the pains of the Tribulation. It is the process of sealing his people that the world has not yet been ushered into the prophesied nuclear and biological war to end our civilization.
Chapter 7 begins: “After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back the four winds of the earth. That no wind (nuclear war) might blow on earth or sea against any tree.” If the nuclear war wind has been suspended what happens?
Verse 2: “Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given the power to harm earth and sea saying, do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have SEALED the servants of our God on their foreheads”.
These sealed servants of God come from all nations, race and tribes and their number is prophetically 144,000.
This is a warning to you the reader. Are you a sealed servant of God to escape the nuclear 3rd World War that is soon to be unleashed in the world? Have the so called men –of God failed to warn you of this end-time prophecy?
NOW NOTE: Sealing of God’s servants precedes the mass resurrection of the righteous back to the physical world. The world is about to experience a great earthquake its magnitude that cannot be predicted by any expert.
Revelation chapter 16 verse 1 describes this terrible earthquake: “And there were flashes of lighting, rumblings, pearls of thunder and A GREAT EARTHQUAKE SUCH AS THERE HAD NEVER BEEN SINCE MAN WAS ON THE EARTH, SO GREAT WAS THAT EARTHQUAKE”.
Comments: Dear reader can you stand this terrible earthquake which comes with lightening, flashes and pearls of thunder?
Verse 19: “The great city was split into three parts and the cities of the Nations (including Ghana) fell and God remembered Babylon the great.”
Babylon describes our present age or civilization in which you and I live in. And who are those who will not survive the terrible earthquakes? This is the great day of the Lord.
God’s anger will be against those who have not his seal of merely but rather those who have the seal of the beast – Satan- the 666 on their foreheads. The earthquake will split open graves and tombs and the righteous in the Lord will come out to join with their brothers and sisters in Christ and they will be clothed in linen and they will be taken into the air as spirit begins to meet with the descending Christ and his armies of angels.
Will you be among them as the saved or you will remain on earth and suffer to die in your sins? The days ahead are terrible and fearful. God is sealing his servants now. Is the blood of Jesus covering you now or you are enjoying the Sodom and Gomorrah of our time? END
