« But the one who endures to the end will be saved »
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
On the first of January 2018, I announced when sharing the prophecies for the year that God said the countdown to the end had begun that year.
Jesus Christ is coming back really soon.
In today’s Bible reading, He gave us the signs to know that His coming is near – famines, earthquakes and pestilences in diverse places, saying that all these would be the beginning of sorrows.
In the original Greek language, the word translated ‘sorrow’ there actually means ‘labor pains’.
In other words, the world would be going through labor pains in order to give birth to the new world which is the New Jerusalem.
When a pregnant woman is about to give birth, she would start having pains, but as she gets closer to delivery, the pains would increase and come more frequently than before.
If you check the statistics, you would see that the things Jesus said would be the beginning of labor pains have been happening more intensely and frequently in the last couple of years, than ever before.
The earthquakes are more serious and widespread; even places that had never experienced earthquakes before are also having their share.
The pestilences are spreading much faster around the world.
These should tell you that the end is almost here.
« This Good News about the kingdom will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come »
As Jesus said, the gospel of the kingdom of God will be preached in all the world and when this happens, then the end shall come.
If you look around the world, you will see more and more countries opening their boarders and allowing the gospel to be preached in their nations.
I believe that all we are waiting for is for everyone to hear the gospel, so as to have a chance to give their lives to Christ and then, rapture will take place.
No one knows the date or the hour when Jesus Christ will come to take His children, so if you are not one of His children now, you will be left behind when He comes.
If, however, you have already surrendered your life to Jesus, please hold on to Him to the very end (Matthew 24:13).
We are in the last days already, are you ready for rapture?
Reflection – Be honest with yourself: if rapture happens today, will you be amongst those who will make it to heaven?
