Signs of the Last Days “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money [affluence and materialism], boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal [drug addicted and prone to senseless violence], despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”…

“Many Shall Run To and Fro and Knowledge Shall be increased“ The events of Dan 12:4 occur when Michael the archangel (Dan 12:1; Jude 9) stands up in the Time of the End. 1 Thess 4:16 shows that Christ’s return is accompanied by the symbolism of “the voice of the archangel,” therefore; the events that follow Michael’s (the archangel) standing up in Daniel 12 are proofs that the Lord is present. Selden’s first automobile in 1877 marked the leap forward…

“In considering the signs of Christ’s presence it is imperative that we are cognizant of three scriptural points. 1) If as properly understood, the Greek word parousia means presence and not coming, then the signs that many accept as evidence of Christ’s imminent coming in actually prove that he is ALREADY PRESENT.  2) Luke 17:26, 27, Matt 24:37, 38, and many other scriptures reveal that Christ is present BEFORE the tribulation period. “And as it was in the days of…

A Message from the Lord “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Rev 18:4) This is the lesson of the eagle. The returned Lord has promised a great spiritual feast of truth, yet most Christians (the Lord’s true people, howbeit mere “babes in Christ”) are in Babylon when he returns. Just as the eagle can see food far away and travels a great distance to…

A Rich Feast “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” This lesson of Luke 17:34-36 is beautiful. Remember, Luke 17 and Matthew 24 are both accounts of our Lord’s Great Prophecy…

We Shall Not All Sleep, But We Shall All Be Changed Some will have slept in death before their resurrection at Christ’s return. However, Christians living during Christ’s parousia or presence will be changed in the twinkling of an eye without sleeping in death. Each, at the instant of their dying, will be raised to immortality. Rev 14:13 gives us the time element of the resurrection of the saints who are alive at Christ’s return: “Blessed are the dead [in…

Caught up Together With Him “Paul, speaking of the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ, called it “that blessed hope.” Titus 2:13 What a blessed hope indeed when finally united with Christ, our beloved bridegroom soon the warfare will be ended, the toiling and suffering over. Soon we will experience that joy of seeing him face to face and sharing the presence of his fellowship throughout eternity. Long have Christians waited for the second coming of Christ; long have they…

A great stumbling block to many believers is the idea that the Church will be raptured away prior to the great time of trouble. The scriptures however contradict this thought and show that the Church will still be here during the opening stages of the tribulation. Nahum 1:5-8 confirms this thought. Verse 5 reveals the mountains quaking, the hills melting and the whole world being devoured by the presence of the Lord. Verse 6 asks, “Who can abide in the…

Why are the majority of believers unaware of the Lord’s presence at this time? There are a number of reasons. The number one reason is because the majority of professed Christians are in truth but Christians in name only, nominal Christians, neither begotten of the spirit nor led of the spirit, this despite all their professions. Many of these are actually very good, moral and upstanding individuals. However what motivates such is not the Holy Spirit, but rather their emotions,…

VERSE 6-10 “The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory. Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you gods. Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments, O Lord. For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods. You, who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His…
