And please turn your Bibles to Matthew chapter 24.
Good evening, tonight we're in Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew 24, the Bible reads,
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple
and his disciples came to him
for to show him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto him,
see ye not all these things, verily I say unto you,
there shall not be left here one stone upon another
and that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately saying,
tell us when shall these things be?
And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear wars and rumors of wars, see that ye be not troubled, for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nations shall rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall
be famines and pestilences and earthquakes and diverse places.
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.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of, by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand.
Then let them which be in the Judea flee into the mountains, let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house,
neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes, and woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.
for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved,
but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened."
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not, for there shall arise false Christ and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, Behold, ease in the desert, go not forth. Behold, ease in the secret chambers, believe it not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."
For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days,
so the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven,
and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming to the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory.
And he shall send his angels with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree, when his branch is yet tender, and put forth leaves
you know that summer is nigh.
So likewise ye when ye shall see all these things know that it is near even at the doors
Verily I say unto you this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away
But of that day an hour knoweth no man know not the angels of heaven
But my father only but as the days of Noah were were so shall the coming of the Son of man be
For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
Then two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left, two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and the other left, watch therefore, for you know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this that if the good man of the house had known and what the what watch the thief should come
He would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up
Therefore be also ready for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh
Who when that is then is a faithful and wise servant whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household to give him
That meet in his due season
Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing verily I say unto you that he shall make him ruler over all his goods
But, and if that evil servant shall say in his heart my Lord delayeth his coming, and shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken, the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him in an hour that he's not aware of, and shall cut him asunder and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites that shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Let's pray to the God just thank you for this time. We have this evening Lord to hear the preaching of your word Lord
Just please bless this service Lord and be with us Lord in the congregation and please be with pastor and fill him with the
Spirit Lord as he preaches unto us your word Lord. We pray this all in Jesus name. Amen
Amen, okay, we're in Matthew chapter 24 this evening look down at verse 6
It says in each shall hear of wars and rumors of wars
See thee be not troubled
For all these things must come to pass and I want you to notice this but the end is not yet
So the Bible is telling us here that even when we see wars and we hear about nations, rumors about nations rising up against nations and going to war,
you know, you shouldn't be troubled, you shouldn't get nervous, you shouldn't start posting all types of things saying,
hey, the end is near, the third temple is near, Jesus Christ is coming, it says why because the end is not yet.
In spite of the fact that there are wars taking place,
nations are rising against nations,
God is specifically telling us here,
that is not the marker that you should be looking for
when it comes to the coming of the Antichrist
and of course when it comes to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Now, one of the reasons I want to preach this is because,
you know, Israel as its manner is,
is, you know, getting involved in wars with Iran
and, you know, doing what they do best, of course.
And, you know, a lot of times when things like this happen,
when you hear about wars taking place throughout the world,
automatically, people who are uneducated in the Word of God,
who don't necessarily know how to decipher end times Bible prophecy,
automatically think,
hey, I wonder, because there's a war in the Middle East,
Israel's involved, this might be the beginning of the tribulation.
And obviously, you know, people like that are getting their information from YouTube, social media.
They're not necessarily getting it from the Bible itself.
And so, I know that none of our church members are like that, of course.
And after this sermon, if you are, you probably, you know, will cease being that way.
But lest you should fall into that same trap of deception and this boy who cries wolf type of mentality,
on our toes when it comes to end times prophecy,
stay educated when it comes to the timeline of end times
of when the Antichrist comes as well as the Lord.
And so tonight I'm gonna go verse by verse regarding
Matthew chapter 24 and just give you the events
leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Now let me start off by saying by way of introduction,
having nothing to do with the sermon,
and that is that the United States of America
should not get involved with this war.
should not aid Israel in fighting against Iran.
You say why?
Well, let me just give you a scriptural reason
as to why, okay?
And the scriptural reason is that no nation
should ever aid a wicked, Godless, Christ-hating nation
in wars against other people, okay?
Especially when it comes to Israel,
because Israel is the greatest Christ-hating nation
that exists on the face of the planet, okay?
And quite frankly, the Bible teaches us that when a nation does that,
they actually end up incurring the wrath of God upon themselves by proxy,
because God does not see appropriate for any nation to aid and help and go to war with
or join affinity with a nation who hates the Lord.
And in fact, we have an example of this in the Old Testament,
where you have a righteous king by the name of Jehoshaphat.
And Jehoshaphat was a righteous king, okay, and he was the king of the southern kingdom of Judah.
And although he was righteous and he was a great man, you know, he just had a lot of bad associations.
And so he's a good guy, but he has an affinity with the northern kingdom of Israel, whose king at that time was Ahab.
We all know Ahab. He's the henpecked husband. I preached a lot of sermons on him, but he's extremely wicked.
He's married to Jezebel. He is an idolater.
God does not like Ahab at all.
And so Ahab comes to Jehoshaphat and essentially persuades him to get involved in a war against Syria.
Now the Syrians had no beef with Judah.
They had no beef with Jehoshaphat.
They didn't want nothing to do with Jehoshaphat.
There's nothing going on between them and Jehoshaphat.
But Jehoshaphat gets involved in this war against Syria
because he's trying to back up Ahab, that Northern Kingdom.
And you can read the story in Second Chronicles, chapter 18.
And it's just like, Jehoshaphat, what are you doing?
And he's just like, join me.
We're going to take over Syria.
And he's like, I am as thou art.
And my people as thy people.
It's like, all right, Ruth, chill out.
So they make a long story short, you have them going to war, and you know, Ahab, because
he's so wicked, he's not looking for the benefit of Jehoshaphat, he doesn't care what
happens to him, which is why he tells Jehoshaphat to dress like he does.
He's just like, you know, disguise yourself as the king of the northern kingdom and it's kind of stupid
You know, it's just like, bro, you know, they're gonna kill you if they think you're you know, because they're going after a have
But of course because the Lord wants to slay a have, you know, the Bible talks about a man drawing a bow at a venture
and essentially ends up finding Ahab,
it smites him between the joints and the harness,
he ends up bleeding out and he ends up dying.
So, you know, you can disguise yourself,
you can bring someone else to help you.
At the end of the day,
you can't escape the judgment of God, right?
It just gets,
some guy can just literally close his eyes and launch an arrow
and it'll still get you, okay?
If God wants you dead.
Now thankfully, Jehoshaphat,
he ends up escaping the war unscathed,
but he does get scorned by God.
Because he sends Jihu, the son of Heneini, to go and preach against Jehoshaphat and he gives us the famous passage in 2 Chronicles chapter 19 that says,
Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord? Now who is he talking about? Well the ungodly is referring to Ahab and those that hate the Lord is referring to Ahab.
Now ironically, Ahab is the king of what? Israel!
And he says, therefore wrath is upon thee from before the Lord.
So he's essentially saying you are going to suffer the consequences by proxy because you're helping an ungodly hater of God.
And obviously we read the rest of the story, judgment does not come upon Jehoshaphat because he essentially repents.
But, you know, the warning still applies to us today as a nation, we should not help.
ungodly Israel carry out their wicked desire
against other nations.
And so that's not part of the sermon,
but people need to hear that.
And the people who need to hear it the most
are these Republican conservatives.
They were like, hey, if you're waving the Mexican flag,
why don't you go back to that nation?
Well, okay, then let's have every church
who waves the Israeli flag go to Israel then too.
And by the way, I agree with that first statement,
but if you really want to draw the line,
you know, why don't we take all these churches
that are waving the Israeli flag
and send them back to Israel too,
if you love Israel that much.
You know, America first,
then stop waving the Israeli flag around.
Bullicker.
Point that I'm making here is that we you know
I'm for the philosophy of America first because this is the nation in which we live
So it's crazy that people would think no we really got to support Israel and you know, there's God's chosen people
It's nonsense. Okay, so anyways that was all introduction had nothing to do with Matthew 24
But I'm tying it in somehow because there's wars going on stuff. So, you know, it's always good to mention that all right
Let's get into it
So the first three verses, what we're going to look at here is the prediction of 70 A.D. along with the end of the world and the rapture.
Verse 1 says,
And Jesus said unto them, See he not all these things?
Barely I say unto you, There shall not be left here
one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came unto him privately saying,
Tell us when shall these things be?
And what shall be the sign of thy coming
and of the end of the world?
So in light of his condemnation and his prediction
of the destruction of the temple,
they're just like, Whoa, you know,
so what shall be the sign of that coming?
When is this gonna happen?
Now, he is going to address this in a two-part type of an answer, because the first answer
has to do with the destruction of the temple that came in 70 A.D., you understand?
And one thing you have to know.
One thing you have to understand is that when it comes to Antioch's prophecy,
a lot of it, yes, was fulfilled in the past,
but it doesn't mean that it's completely fulfilled
because there is a foreshadowing even in those past fulfillments.
When we hear about Antiochus Epiphanes,
he is a picture of the Antichrist.
When you hear about Titus destroying the temple in 70 AD,
he is a picture of the Antichrist, so to speak,
but it's all a foreshadowing of an ultimate fulfillment
in Antioch's Bible prophecy.
And the reason that's important to know is because you have a stupid doctrine out there
known as preterism that seeks to say, well, all this has already taken place, nothing
to see here, revelation is not for us, let's ignore all this, this stuff already happened.
And what preterism is, is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the pre-tribulation rapture.
Because the pre-tribulation rapture is false, right?
Pre-tribulation rapture and Zionism go hand in hand.
The problem is that people see through the deception
of the pre-tribulation rapture,
they see through the deception of Zionism
and they end up going the opposite extreme to preterism
and say, well, all this has already been fulfilled,
the rapture's not even real.
But you know that is a false doctrine because it's a false doctrine that was even taught in Paul's day
Where you have men claiming that the resurrection was passed already. That's called preterism. We know the resurrection is not passed
Point that I'm making here is Jesus Christ is talking about the destruction of the temple that came in 70 AD
But he takes advantage of that particular question to address a more broader fulfillment of N times Bible prophecy
regarding the second coming of Christ and
You know the end of the world
And quite frankly, we can say that 70 AD was essentially like a day of the Lord because when you study the term, the phrase, the day of the Lord in the Old Testament, it is strongly associated with the judgment of God.
In the New Testament, the emphasis on the day of the Lord is more heavily placed on the rapture, but it's two sides of the same coin.
The day of the Lord is the rapture, but it's also the judgment of God that ends up coming upon the
world on the same exact day. It's redemption for us, it's revenge for them, you understand,
or revenge upon them, should I say. And so, he addresses this and he begins to tell them
what are the signs of his coming and of the end of the world. Now, the first thing he addresses
in verses 4, 5 and 6 is that there's going to be a major deception.
Look at verse number 4, Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
Now folks, we have to pay attention to that.
Okay, because right off the bat before he even addresses any of the elements any of the factors involved in N times Bible prophecy
He starts off by explaining. Hey
You need to make sure that you pay attention
You give heed because a lot of deception is going to be taking place and you got to make sure that you are not
Deceived you're not being lied to now. What is deception other than we obviously know it's a lie
It's something that is false, but if you think about it,
deception has truth mixed in it as well.
Because in order to pass it off,
in order to make it believable,
it has to have some substance of truth in it.
which is why people believe it, right?
If you just came out with an outright lie,
people are gonna reject it, they're not gonna accept it,
but if it has a measure of truth within it,
then it can deceive people, it can cause people
to believe whatever they're telling them is true.
So he starts off by explaining,
you need to make sure that you're not deceived by this,
okay?
He says in verse number five,
for many shall come in my name,
saying I am Christ and shall deceive many.
Now, look, we don't have to go very far in history to see that that's true.
And obviously, when we talk about in context of Antioch's Bible prophecy, we know that
there's one main person who's going to come and say, I am Christ, the Antichrist.
But we also know that there's been various individuals throughout history, even in recent
history, who have claimed that they were Jesus Christ.
I mean, you have a guy recently who was saying that like,
he's the Christ, he's the Imam, he's like everything.
And you know, you think to yourself like,
you know, how can people be deceived by this?
Like, this sounds so retarded.
But people believe it though.
People believe it.
And you just kind of like racking your brain like,
really, you would believe this?
But there's people sitting front and center
just listening to them just eating up a fork and spoon.
You know why?
Because of the fact that people are just gullible.
It's a spirit of deception.
It's obviously people, you know,
I'm not trying to be disrespectful all the way I am.
They're stupid sometimes.
You know, we need to make sure that we,
the Bible says that the simple believe
with every word in our punish.
We can't be simple minded regarding the word of God
and just believe everything that we see on the internet,
everything that we see on social media and on YouTube.
No matter how convincing it may sound,
we need to make sure that we prove all things
whole fast, that which is good.
Why?
Because the Bible tells us here
that deception will permeate society,
many are gonna be deceived,
You have some guy with a beard claiming to use Christ,
and he will garner a following because of that.
People will believe it.
He says in verse six,
and you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.
So keep in mind, this is all still in context of deception.
Part of the deception is that you're gonna have people
coming saying, I am Christ.
I am the Messiah, I am the chosen one, don't be deceived, but then he says you're also
going to hear about wars and rumors of wars.
Now if someone comes and says they're Christ, they're trying to convince you that the end
is near.
If someone also comes to you and says, hey, there's a war going on in the Middle East.
I heard about a war taking place, what does it say?
See that you be not troubled for all these things
must come to pass, and here's the key,
but the end is not yet.
Now that's important to know.
Why?
Well because if you go on social media during any war,
no matter what war it is,
you will find people that are saying that we're in the end.
And look, I've seen specific people pop their heads on social media only when stuff like
this happens.
It's true.
Why?
Because they're afraid.
Because they're ignorant of what the Bible says.
Now here's what's interesting to me, okay?
Because if I was that person.
Who was deceived into thinking that the wars and rumors of wars that are currently going on if I were to believe that those wars
Isn't was an indicator that we are in the end times. I would not be posting about it
You know what I'll be doing getting right with God
You know what I would be doing. I'll be winning souls to Christ
You know what I would be doing reading the Bible
You know what I'll be doing going to church
Not posting about it
I'm gonna be like, oh man, I'm gonna get ahead on this one.
See how many likes I could get on this.
If you really thought that those wars and rumors of wars
were precursors to the end of the world,
you know, do something spiritual about it
rather than just post some stupid post
about it's the end of the world.
Because all you're doing is looking dumb
when it doesn't happen.
And look folks, you know, the greatest hindrance,
or should I say,
The people who are the most responsible for dumbing down Christianity are Christians themselves.
They're the ones who are responsible for crying wolf.
And they're the reason why the Bible says in 2 Peter 3 that there's going to be scoffers in the last day
who shall say, where is the promise of His coming?
For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
You know, there's gonna be so many people crying wolf
throughout history that when the end does come,
the Antichrist does come.
A lot of people are gonna be like,
yeah, you posted about this a long time ago
and it just never happened.
You know, you said that the wars and rumors of wars
was an indicator that we're in the end times.
You made this big hoopla about it and nothing ever happened.
You guys have been saying this for a long time.
So really, a lot of these people are kinda playing into
Making people gullible, because you know what?
The public is gonna get tired of that.
They're gonna lose faith in the Bible,
which is why such a grand deception
can be introduced into society in the end of the world,
and people are gonna believe it,
because there's been so many Christians
throughout history that have said,
it's the end, it's the end, it's the end,
and just nothing ever happens.
Why?
Because they're just ignorant of the Bible.
They are desiring to be teachers of the law,
understanding neither what they say,
nor where they affirm.
Folks if you don't know what you're talking about shut up
Don't talk about it
If you don't know what the Bible says about N times prophecy or any subject of the Bible just zip it
Just be quiet about it
If you don't have a plenary understanding of these particular subjects why because you could do more damage than good
and you end up discrediting yourself as a Christian,
you bring a reproach to Christianity in the Bible
because when these things are not fulfilled,
when you claim that they were,
then people are gonna point to you and say,
see, this is what Christianity is.
They say dumb stuff like this all the time.
Point that I'm making here is that the Bible's even saying
that even when they are wars and rumors of wars,
the end is not yet.
Now, let me also say this.
Because verses 7 through 14 is where we get into what the Bible would refer to as the beginning of sorrows.
And we would call it the tribulation, and that's a valid type of title to give it,
but the biblical term would be the beginning of sorrows.
And this is referring to the 1260 days prior to great tribulation,
which is the fifth seal where Christians are being martyred and put to death.
And, you know, this is, you know, the first four horsemen of the apocalypse.
The Antichrist going forth conquering into conquer, wars, famines, pestilences, death
on a massive scale, okay?
These are essentially what comes first before the martyrdom of Christians and before the
second coming of Jesus Christ.
Everyone understand that?
But let me just say this, is that the Bible doesn't seem to indicate that even just because
The end is there, which is kind of crazy if you think about it because what the Bible tells us to actually look for
It gives us the elements of end times prophecy
It gives us the elements of the beginning of sorrows, but what it actually tells us to look for is what the abomination of desolation
And in fact skip down to verse 14 it says in this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached into all the world
For a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come, okay?
And then, of course, verse 15 talks about the abomination of desolation. It says,
wherefore, when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, we'll get
into that just a bit. So the main thing we should be looking for is the
abomination of desolation. Not necessarily the first forehorsemen of
the Apocalypse. Now, what's the point that I'm trying to drive out here? Well, I
just want to say this is that,
You know, when there's wars and rumors of wars,
it doesn't mean that the end is near.
And may I even be bold enough to say this,
even if there's famines, pestilences,
and death on a massive scale,
and yes, sometimes even martyrdom,
that's not necessarily an indicator
that the end is near either.
Because you know, those things have happened
throughout history, and the end did not come.
Now you say well, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, but hold on a second
You know that there's been times throughout history when this has happened and Christians did think it was the other and you know what they could have been
You know, they were probably believed by many. It was probably very valid in their eyes when you see Christians dying
When you see famines pestilences death on a massive scale
You have these antichrist type figures who are conquering the world that could be an indicator. I think the end is near
Because it's matching up with what the Bible says, but the Bible never tells us to look for those specific things to indicate that we are in the end times
So if these things have happened throughout history, and I'm talking about, you know, the first four horsemen of the apocalypse type stuff
We still need to make sure
That we look for one particular thing and that's the abomination of desolation and we'll get into that in just a bit
The point that I'm making here is that it is possible
There is a possibility
that wars and rumors of wars can lead up to
famines in our lifetime by the way
they can lead up to
pestilences in our lifetime and
Quite frankly it could even lead up to martyrdom of Christians and it's still not the end of the world
It's not the beginning of sorrows as we see in the Bible
Because this stuff has happened throughout history. I mean brother Marge was just telling me, you know, he's just like yeah
What about the inquisition?
You have people taking over you have Christians dying on a massive scale
I'm sure Christians at that time thought oh, we're living out. This is the end
But here we are you know hundreds of years later, and you know the second coming of Christ is still not come
The point that I'm making here is that these are elements that are involved in end times prophecy
But they're not necessarily elements that we should be looking for to lend veracity that we are in the end times right now
Okay, as far as the timeline of End Times Bible Prophecy
is concerned, as far as the 1,260 days is concerned.
You say, do people really believe that?
Well, let me just remind you of coronavirus.
Can I just remind you of 2020?
When everyone lost their minds and their dignity.
I mean, folks, I hate to be a broken record here,
but I'm not gonna let you forget.
Never forget.
Some of the dumb nonsense that people were spouting off I remember people telling me like hey
No, I don't know man corona virus coronas crown a crown is giving it to him. You know, you know, it's a disease
pestilence
I don't know man. It's just like oh
You know and then you got the guy from France
What's the guy? What was the guys?
What is it?
Macron
Yeah, you know, Mark of the Beast, McCron.
I mean, other people were telling me,
I don't know, Mask, Mark, just one letter off there.
I promise you, people were saying this.
I'm not just being funny.
I'm funny, but I'm not that funny.
I'm not like clown funny, I'm trying to tell you
what people were actually telling me.
They were literally saying like,
hey, did you ever notice that Mask and Mark?
Kind of the same there, just one letter off.
And I'm just like, no, stupid can't exist as much.
Is this real?
And here's the thing, and people believe,
like man, this was the beginning of the end.
And these are people who understood the timeline,
essentially like how long the end is,
because we're talking about 1,260 days,
then you have 70 days thereafter
before the second coming of Christ.
Well, here we are in 2025.
It's been longer than three and a half years
since coronavirus, and yet here we are, right?
And look, I don't wanna be a byword and a proverb
of someone who's claiming that the end is near
and then it just never happens,
and then I just look like a fool.
You understand?
I rather just have faith in the Bible.
And so, you know, and let me also say this,
is that when the Bible admonishes us to watch and pray,
you know, in the Greek, it doesn't say watch social media,
watch the wars and rumors of wars, watch Alex Jones,
watch what's going on in the Middle East,
watch from the biblical definition of watch
is being the spirit.
That's literally what it means if we're to take that that term that word watch and see what the New Testament has to say about it
It's referring to the fact that you are spiritually awake
Meaning that you're filled with the spirit
Meaning you're not asleep not physically, but you're spiritually not asleep awake to righteousness and sin not for some have not the knowledge
I've got to speak this to your shame
Awake thou that sleep is, and Christ shall give thee light,
the Bible says, arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.
It's referring to a spiritual awakening,
the fact that the Lord is enlightening your eyes
through the scriptures, your winning souls to Christ,
your pleasing God, your filled with the spirit.
That's what it means to watch.
It's not like, today in Iran, today in Israel,
today in Macron, or you know, just.
Going down all the conspiracy rabbit holes of just nonsense. That's not what it means to watch. That's actually fleshly is what it is
okay, and
So I just want to prepare you for that
Because I'm not saying that the end is not gonna happen in our is not gonna happen in our lifetime because it very mill
It very well could happen in our lifetime for sure. Okay. There is a major possibility
But what I'm saying is if these elements take place within our lifetime, I'm not trying to have a church freaking out
You know what I mean and start like you know
Oh, man
We got it
We got to like collect food and you know I got I got beans for weeks under my floorboards and all this stuff
We need to make sure that we are spirit-filled. We're serving God. We're serving Christ
We're basically doing exactly what we're doing right now, okay?
Alright, the point that I'm making here is verse 6 clearly tells us even if there's wars and rumors of wars, the end is not yet.
Now look at verse 7, this is what Jesus calls the beginning of sorrows, we just call it tribulation.
It says in verse 7, for nations shall rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom,
and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places.
See, all these are the beginning of sorrows.
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.
And then many shall be offended,
and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another,
and many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many,
and because the iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold,
but he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
Now let me break down some of these verses here.
First and foremost, verse seven is highlighting
the beginning of the tribulation,
the beginning of sorrows,
and this tribulation isn't just something
that affects Christians,
it's actually a worldwide affliction.
Because when we look at Revelation chapter 6, for example, and the first four seals of the of the apocalypse
What we see is the white horse the red horse the black horse and the pale horse, right?
The white horse representing the Antichrist who is given a crown he has a bow and he's going forth conquering into conquer
This doesn't mean that the public knows who he is
and just stating that this is when he comes on the scene
and he's going forth conquering into conquering.
He is starting wars, he is conquering land,
he's making a name for himself.
The second horse of the apocalypse is the red horse
and this is a horse of war.
This is where wars, this is what verse seven
is referring to, nation against nation,
kingdom against kingdom.
So you can see how this is kind of hard to decipher
to tell if this is in our day
because there's always wars going on.
There's always wars happening everywhere, you know, the military industrial complex is always booming, right?
It's always wars taking place. So it's telling us here that this is what's gonna happen in the end times
And it says that there's gonna be famines.
Famines is the black horse, okay?
With the pair of balances in his hand,
measure of wheat for a penny,
three measures of barley for a penny,
and see thou touched not the oil and the wine.
This is referring to major inflation due to famine, okay?
And then he says, pestilences, earthquakes,
in diverse places, this is the pale horse
that is essentially a compilation
of the effects of the previous horses,
the results in massive,
death, okay, a lot of people are dying during this time.
But the point that I'm making here is the beginning of sorrows
is something that affects the entire world.
We can call a tribulation upon ourselves,
but really what it is is just tribulation
upon the entire world.
And this is why in Revelation chapter 12,
it pictures the woman going into the wilderness
for 1,260 days.
And some people try to surmise, who is the woman referring to?
Well, the woman is referring to Eve, because she is the mother of all living.
And because it gives us that number of a thousand two hundred and sixty days,
we know that it's referring to those first four seals, okay?
And because it affects the entire world, it would make sense that the woman is Eve since
Her children, so to speak, all of mankind is experiencing this tribulation.
It's not just saved people, but also unsaved people that are experiencing the nation rising against nation,
the famines, pestilences, earthquakes, and death on a massive scale.
Now, what is the point of those first four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Well, I personally believe that this is just man-made stuff here, okay?
This isn't God imposing these seals upon the world.
It's Satan, it's the Antichrist, constructing these events in order to help him catapult the New World Order.
You understand?
You say, how so?
Well, if you have famines taking place, right,
because of major inflation, you know, the dollars crashing,
you have all these problems with finances
because of what the economy, because of the wars,
well, there's gonna be a reset of all that, okay?
And so when the Antichrist comes on the scene,
he's going to use the famines and pestilences
as a catalyst to introduce what?
The Mark of the Beast.
Because what is the mark of the beast?
Well, when you read Revelation chapter 13,
we come to the realization that the mark of the beast
is passed off as technology that is used
so you can buy and sell.
Essentially, it's the one world currency
that the world will have
through the introduction of the Antichrist.
so that people can buy and sell.
And so he's using this cataclysmic event
known as the famines, the pestilences,
the wards that took place
to introduce this Mark of the Beast and say,
hey, why don't we just forget the euro,
forget the dollar, forget whatever,
and let's just use a one-world currency,
hit a reset button on the economy,
we'll just use this one thing here,
and now we just all use this particular currency.
Obviously, it's not gonna be called the Mark of the Beast.
Probably gonna be called something else, okay?
Now this is important why because even now we already have the technology to institute the marketplace, right?
I mean, I use Apple Pay all the time on my phone, you know?
And you even have Amazon One, for example,
where you just wave your hand to the little cashier
and it's like, dude, you go to the store,
you make your grocery list, dude,
and you can pay with your palm.
And what are they doing?
They're obviously conditioning the public
to accept that technology.
And even when that technology was rolled out,
you had a lot of Christians like,
So now look at that, that's the mark of the beast.
But you and I both know that that's not the mark of the beast.
Okay.
And you know, obviously some of these people mean well
and I can understand why they would be hesitant
to adopt that technology
because they are precursors to the mark of the beast.
The problem is, is that it's not the mark of the beast.
And so because they are uneducated
on the biblical timeline of end times prophecy,
they believe that's the mark of the beast.
So here we are three years later, nothing happens.
And now the people are like,
hey, I thought you said that was the mark of the beast.
I'm actually, I just paid for my Amazon Prime on this
and I got Netflix now.
There's just nothing's happening.
I'm not damned or something.
But what's taking place is a conditioning.
for this technology because people often,
when they read Revelation 13,
they think the Mark of the Beast is just all of a sudden
just rolled out to society and then people just take it,
right?
But that's not necessarily what's taking place.
The Mark of the Beast, the technology for the Mark of the
Beast has already been circulating within society
for a long periods of time.
It's already been accepted, right?
Society in the world have already been conditioned to kind of accept the mark of the beast the technology of the mark of the beast
So that when the mark of the beast is rolled out. It's just like an upgrade for them
Understand got a chip on there. The difference is that you're gonna get one on your forehead instead. Okay
What's the difference between the right hand and the forehead, you know, this is 4g. This is 5g
Once faster than the other or whatever, you know
And so obviously this is gonna be introduced
as a matter of convenience, but it's of my opinion
that by the time we get to this particular point here,
there will be people who already have the chip
in their right hand, possibly maybe even have a chip
on their forehead, and it's already been normalized
in society to have such a thing.
That can that really happen though, Pastor?
Can this really be normalized?
I mean, my phone.
Right, you can do it on your eye watch dude
It's just normal now, and you know what 2020 made in that normal
Right. Oh, you know when I get coronavirus. So and look, let me just tell you right off the bat
I'm for New World Order technology
Just let me make myself very clear here. Okay, AI is awesome
New World Order technology is awesome. How can you say it? Well, cuz I'm saved
And there's no stopping the New World Order,
first and foremost.
I'm not an accelerationist.
Okay?
I'm not a fatalist,
but I'm not gonna just,
I'm not gonna be an Amish dude, you know what I mean?
Like I'm gonna utilize the technology available
for the greater good until we get turned on, okay?
But you know, until then I'm just gonna keep using it.
Now I'm probably not gonna get the chip
in my right hand, you know?
Just because you know, that's kind of weird.
But what I'm saying is, society is just already being conditioned to accept these things and even Christians will be conditioned to accept these things.
And quite frankly, it's not really bad if Christians accept it as being a technological advancement in society, as long as they know what the Bible says about this.
Because you don't want to be someone who is saying, oh, the vaccine is the mark of the beast, which people were saying that too.
How many remember that?
Don't get coronavirus and look I'm not for vaccines. I don't get vaccines
Okay, I haven't been vaccinated. You know since I was like a kid
Okay, you know and I'm not the Mexican who has the you know that whatever
But I was vaccinated as a child, but I haven't been vaccinated
But let me just say this like I do not believe the vaccine is the mark of the beast
Okay, and I remember during 2020,
I was going at it with this guy online.
We're doing a live and this guy was like,
no, the vaccine is the mark of the beast.
This guy is a false prophet.
Christians are dying in China right now.
And I'm just like, there's a ton of Christians in America
that are not getting killed.
And you know, that's weird that you said
the vaccine is the mark of the beast
because I've never seen anybody take a vaccine
in their forehead.
But all this is to condition everyone to accept these things and obviously, you know
These technologies are already rolled out by the time we get to this point though in history for the end times
This stuff will already be accepted now
I'm mentioning this because of the fact that when the market of the beast is rolled out
It's brought out under the guise of being the alternative to having separate currencies
Right and this is far more a far more superior system that we can operate under
It's far more convenient, we need a reset.
We had a global catastrophe, and therefore,
here's the reset for the economy, the mark of the beast,
or whatever it is they're gonna call it.
Now, that is what they're kind of proposing it as
in the end times, according to Revelation 13.
But what's the real reason for the mark of the beast?
The real reason for the mark of the beast
is to sift out believers to kill believers.
because the only ones who are incapable
of taking the Mark of the Beast will be believers.
So it's not that the Antichrist cares
for anyone's convenience, he wants them to buy and sell.
No, the purpose of the Mark of the Beast
is to find Christians because they are the only ones
who are not gonna be able to take it.
How do we know?
Well, the only ones who are qualified
to take the Mark of the Beast are
those who worship the Antichrist.
Well, someone who's saved will not be able
to worship the Antichrist.
Now, obviously, it's a little obscure, you know, we see through a glass darkly, we don't
necessarily know beyond a shadow of a doubt how is it that the Antichrist will be able
to know if you worship him or not, right?
We don't necessarily know.
We can obviously say, oh, a person will just never deny Christ, but you know, the Apostles
of Peter, you know.
You know, he did it three times, right?
So it's possible that people are gonna be able to do it.
There's gonna be maybe some sort of technological advancement
where they'll know that you're lying, basically, okay?
The Mark of the Beast is put forth not to help the economy,
it's put forth to kill Christians,
to find Christians and to kill Christians.
How do we know?
The Bible says in Revelation 13
that the Antichrist makes war with the saints
and he overcomes them.
Christians will be public enemy number one in the Antimes
and in order for him to locate them
and in order for him to find them,
he's gonna do it through the system
of instituting the Mark of the Beast.
There's probably gonna be stations all around the world where you get your mark of the beast in order for you to buy and sell and
You know, I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of weak Christians
Going to these stations, you know, cuz they're just like I just need Keynes, you know
I just ain't minding out, you know, I'm sorry Lord, but then once you get there is just like off with his head
Okay
And so the point that I'm making here is that this is where the Mark of the Beast fits in to Matthew 24 is
The famines, pestilences, earthquakes, they're being used as a catalyst for the Mark of the Beast to be instituted in order to find Christians
Which is why it says in verse number nine, 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 and then shall many be offended
and shall betray one another and shall hate one another.
So, verse seven is highlighting the first four horsemen
of the apocalypse.
The fifth seal in Revelation chapter six
is what verses nine and 10 are referring to.
Because after the fourth seal is revealed,
which is the pale horse, the mark of the beast is instituted.
At this particular point in the timeline,
you have the Antichrist receiving a deadly wound to the head
because he's going forth conquering into conquer.
And I'm not going to get into what my theory is,
but let me just give you a little synopsis, if I may.
I do believe that the Antichrist will probably receive
a deadly wound to the head in a war against Islam.
Okay?
I think that's what's probably going to happen.
And Islam, during this time, will be viewed as the Antichrist
that the Bible is talking about.
They will be portrayed as that New World Order, the Antichrist, that the Bible is predicting.
And the Antichrist, the Son of Prediction, will essentially be viewed as the Christ who defeats Islam.
And in war with Islam, will eventually receive a daily wound to the head.
He'll die essentially on martyr's death.
And then three days later, he will come back to life.
And that's at that point that he will proclaim himself
to be God.
Now why do I think that he's gonna go to war with Islam?
Well because of the fact that the most common narrative
in mainstream Christianity regarding the Antichrist
is that it's Islam.
The Imam, Islam, Muslims, they're the Antichrist.
They're Ishmael.
They're the ones that we need to be looking out for.
And now look, Islam is an Antichrist religion.
No doubt about that
But the Antichrist is gonna be a Jew
you know and and
Christians did just need to wake up to this
Because you know Muslims are not didn't exist during this time. The Lord's not even mentioning Muslims or Islam
You know, there's someone who's coming in his own name
Okay, and there's a reason he's called an anti Christ
Right, he's referring he's coming in the place of Jesus Christ
Well in order for you to come in the place of Jesus Christ you have to kind of look like Jesus Christ
Right, you have to be a fraudulent Christ
Remember what we said in the beginning the deception has to have a little bit of truth mixed it
Which is why when the Antichrist shows up on the scene of Revelation chapter 6. He's coming on what someone tell me
white horse. How does Jesus Christ come in Revelation 19 on a white horse? When
Jesus Christ comes on a white horse in Revelation 19, he's gonna go what?
Make war. And then what does he do after he makes war? He sets up his what? His
millennial kingdom. Well that's exactly what the Antichrist is gonna do. He's gonna
go forth conquering into conquer and once he's done conquering, he's setting up
his millennial reign, which is essentially the New World Order.
Understand? So it is a fraudulent Christ. He's coming in the place of Christ and so
before that takes place, obviously, you have all these four horsemen, the four horsemen of the
apocalypse coming on the scene. The fifth seal is the martyrdom of Christians, which is why they're
being delivered and being killed. And it says in verse 10, that many shall be offended. What does
that mean? It means, believe it or not, this is the sad part.
Okay, Christians will be killed and there's some Christians that will be delivered by other Christians into the hand of the enemy as well
And you know, we don't have time to go into it
But you go go read Matthew chapter 10 that gives you the the the sad reality of how it's going to happen
You know this persecution is going to be so severe that the Bible talks about that your own children rise up against you
They do how can that happen folks? We just saw that happen like a couple months ago. We talk
That's like common now, you know
Children rising up against their parents parents going against their children
This is happening even now how much more when you have all of these elements in the world
You're gonna have your children God forbid
You know delivering you up to be killed delivering you up to be
Executed, you know because you are a Christian this is why it says that many shall be offended
And this is many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many
Now I don't necessarily believe that this is referring to the false prophet
Who is essentially the forerunner of the anti-christ it could be
But it seems to mention this as a plural
Meaning there's many
And the way I would interpret this is to mean that in the end times you obviously have the anti Christ and you have the false prophet
But then you have many false prophets who are carrying out their orders and preaching their message
You know and we have those today, you know non-denom churches, you know you have all these kinds of pastors out there
You know Greg Locke and whatnot and you know
What's that fat guy's name who promotes Israel all the time?
John Hagee, you know, who's another one?
Robert Breaker, you know, there's all types
of false prophets even now that are promoting
New World Order doctrine, right?
Dispensationalism is New World Order doctrine.
Preterism is New World Order doctrine, okay?
And so during this particular time,
you'll have a lot of false prophets
promoting that new world order.
And let's move on here.
Verse 13 says,
but he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
Now, obviously this verse has been abused
and misconstrued to say that we have to live out
the Christian life until the end
if we're gonna be justified and be able to go to heaven.
But that's not the context now, is it?
Save from what?
We'll save from verse nine,
being delivered up to be afflicted and be killed.
So if you're able to make it through the thousand two hundred and sixty days
Yeah, even past the seventy days of persecution
You will be saved from that persecution to see the Lord coming in the clouds
That's what it's referring to and the proof of that is verse 22 that says except those days should be shortened
There shall no flesh be saved
But for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.
So it says that no flesh shall be saved, and of course, according to verse 9,
saved from being killed, being afflicted, being delivered up.
All right?
Now look at verse 15 here.
So up until this point, we've seen the first five seals of Revelation chapter 6.
Now, verse 15 is still on the fifth seal,
but it's giving us specific details
regarding that particular seal.
Because when you look at verse seven and nine,
that's my baby, you know, so forgive her.
Let's just, a moment of silence please
while she exits the auditorium.
She's not happy about this fifth seal.
When we look at verses seven and eight and nine,
We don't really see a break there and we don't see how is it that you go from the beginning of sorrows and all of a sudden
We're just being killed
So the Lord divulges to us the information necessary for us to know
What is it that we should be looking for between the fourth and the fifth seal and that is verse 15 when you therefore shall see the
Abomination of desolation
Spoken of by Daniel the prophet
Stand in the holy place who so readeth let them understand then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains
Let him, which is on the housetop, not come down to take anything out of his house, neither
let him, which is in the field, return back to take his clothes, and woe unto them that
are with child, and to them that give succ in those days, but pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day, for then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
So let me just give you a little synopsis of what this is referring to.
So, you have the first four seals, which is beginning of sorrows.
After the Antichrist receives the deadly wound to the head,
according to Revelation 13, he comes back to life.
Now, how does he do it?
It's not because God is giving him life.
It's actually because Satan possesses him, okay?
He possesses his body at which point it's really at that point that he becomes the son of perdition.
He becomes that Antichrist, okay?
Once he does that, according to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2,
he actually goes into the temple of God
and he proclaims himself to be God, okay?
And this is what verse 15 is referring to,
the abomination of desolation.
When he goes into the temple, he proclaims himself to be God
and obviously this is in tandem with
the image that the false prophet sets up.
of the Antichrist that every person is supposed to worship.
Okay?
So once this image is set up,
the Bible says when that thing is up, everyone's gotta run.
You can't go back for your pictures,
you can't go back for your photo album,
you know, don't go back to get a last meal.
It's that's the time where you need to run.
Now, the book of Matthew is geared towards who?
The Jews, right?
It's obviously for everyone, but it is geared towards Jews.
So, it seems to indicate, because it's talking about the Sabbath,
that there might be Jews who are getting saved during this particular time.
Now, I would say that it's a very small percentage of the Israeli population that are getting saved.
And, you know, there's different portions of scriptures that indicate that, you know, Jews are being saved,
but it's a remnant, because there's always been a remnant according to the Bible.
The problem is, is that today people think that the whole modern state of Israel is going to be saved.
And that's a false doctrine.
Because the vast majority of them are Christ-rejecting haters of God.
But I'm sure that there's Jews out there who are not like the modern state of Israel that will get saved during this time.
Which is why he's instructing them to flee.
Now, we can go to Mark 13 that's addressing just all Gentiles.
And then there it says, what I say to you, I say to all, watch.
So, these instructions are not just for Jews who are in Israel during this time, it's just for everyone in general.
So, we who are in the United States of America, when we hear about the abomination of desolation being set up in Jerusalem in Israel, it's time to go.
It's time to run.
Now, it's not time to run and hide.
It's time to run and go preach the gospel
and just try to stay alive as much as possible
for as long as possible, okay?
And I'm not gonna give all the numbers and everything
because it'll just take too much time
of how long this is gonna be
or how we come to the conclusion
that it's gonna be 70 days of great tribulation.
But according to the Bible,
there shall be 75 days of great tribulation.
And they're gonna be hunting Christians
and trying to put them to death.
And obviously, I mean, 75 days is a long time, right?
It's a very long time, especially when you're on the run.
And so the main marker, the main indicator
that we are in great tribulation that Christ is returning
is when the Antichrist comes back to life.
So let me just say this, let's say the first four seals happen.
the elements of those first four seals and let's say there is an antichrist who comes on the scene and
Let's say he receives the deadly wound to the head folks. If he doesn't come back to life. We're not in the great tribulation
right
So that means that stuff can happen all the way to that point and I promise you if it were to happen a lot of Christians like this is it
But then like a week passes like I know he's gonna come back they're just like hoping he's just let's just wait one more day
It could be three weeks.
That could be the case.
This is why the Bible only gives us this indication
right here that we should look for.
Because once that image is set up,
once he does come back to life
and he proclaims himself to be God.
This is why folks, let me just say this.
You know, I'm not banking on the third temple.
Like, oh man, once the third temple is built,
this is it, this is the end of the year.
Does it say that though?
Do you see anything about, and I'm not saying it could be the third temple for sure, but it could be a fourth temple too though
Because the Bible does not tell us that that's exactly what we should be looking for
Because these things could come about and then they could end and let me just say this once a temple is built
The animal sacrifices are reinstated and then they cease
Once the Antichrist goes into the temple of God and proclaims himself to be God
Did you know that?
During that tribulation period, those 1,260 days,
you have the animal sacrifices being instituted again
because the Antichrist is trying to placate the Jews
that have helped them get into power.
So he's reinstating those animal sacrifices,
but the Bible talks about the oblations ceasing.
And when do they cease?
When the abomination of desolation is set up
because now he's just like,
I don't need you Jews anymore.
I'm God already.
Okay?
And of course, you can read Luke 21,
that vengeance comes upon them on the Jews
for their rejection and blasphemy of Jesus Christ.
Point that I'm making here is that the main marker that we should be looking for is that abomination of desolation
That's when the Bible says that we should be fleeing verse 21 says for then shall be great tribulation
Such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time. No, nor ever shall be
so this tribulation this type of martyrdom this type of you know killing of Christians is
Far more vast numerically
Then compared to any time in history, okay? Why because it's obviously worldwide. Let's move on here
He says in verse 23
Then if any man shall say unto the you lo here is Christ or there believe it not
For there shall arise false Christ and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in so much that if it were possible
They shall deceive the very elect. This is why we don't have to
You know, tell people, hey, don't believe the Antichrist, you know, if he's saying he's a Christ.
No saved person will believe that the Antichrist is Jesus Christ.
It says if it were possible, you know, they shall deceive the very elect.
But the reason it says that is because it's not possible.
Now I do believe that mainstream Christianity will be deceived into thinking it's Jesus Christ
because of the fact that the vast majority within mainstream Christians are not saved.
Okay, so all these Catholics and orthodox and non-denom people who just you know
Have this image of their head in their mind about Jesus being a long-haired
Caucasian six-foot blue-eyed guy or whatever with a goatee, you know
That's probably what the Antichrist is gonna look like and I'm really like that's him, you know
Look what it says in verse 25. Behold I have told you before wherefore if they shall say unto you
Behold he is in the desert
Behold, he is in the secret chambers.
Believe it or not, this is telling us
that the coming of Jesus Christ is not a secret.
You know, like the secret rapture.
This weird rapture of the preacher relation doctrine
that states that Jesus Christ is gonna come invisibly
and then we're just gonna go naked to heaven or whatever.
Our clothes just drop to the floor
and everyone just ascends up.
You're just like, you know.
It's like, it's not a secret.
Why?
Because according to the Bible,
the second coming of Christ is visible.
The Bible says that every eye shall see him.
And, you know, if I may, he comes in with style.
He's not like, you know,
you know, and just like, oh,
and everyone just disappears.
No, according to the description,
given in Revelation chapter six and seven,
and as we're gonna look at here,
Everyone sees what's going on, okay?
How do we know?
Look at verse 27.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east
and shineth even unto the west,
so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
Whenever there's lightning,
if you're driving on the freeway,
it flashes and everyone's just like,
you don't even care if you missed it.
Light flashes and you're just like, I saw lightning.
This is saying that that's how the coming of Christ will be. Everyone's going to turn to see it
Well, how can that happen on a sphere though? Yeah
Stupid question. How about social media? Okay?
You know, obviously the description the Bible gives in Revelation chapter 6 is that the sun shall be dark in the moon's gonna
Be dark in I mean whenever you have a big show going on typically the lights go off
and the spotlight comes on the main attraction.
What's the same thing with Jesus Christ?
The lights go off, he descends,
he breaches the realm between eternity
and what we have here on this earth
and he shows himself and by the way,
he's not descending like,
I come in peace.
No, he's coming with war in his heart.
He said, well, how do we know?
Well, because the Bible's description of Revelation,
chapter six is that when everyone sees them,
they're like, can I get a rock to fall on me, please?
He's such a terrifying sight that much of humanity
would rather have a mountain collapse on them
than to have to deal with Jesus Christ.
That's literally what it says.
Fall on us!
That's what they're crying for the mountains and the rocks and hide us like they're trying to hide from the wrath of the lamb
So you really think that they're hiding from some guy
No, he's coming for blood
He's coming with lightning it says at verse 28 for whatsoever the carcasses there with the Eagles be gathered together
Immediately after the tribulation, not before but after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken.
So keep this in mind, when this takes place,
You'll have lightning striking from the east to the west.
You have the sun being darkened, the moon is not giving your light,
and then all of a sudden you have this cosmic occurrence of stars falling from the sky.
Hitting the earth, okay?
It's like the beginning of a show.
And now it's just all these stars are just collapsing.
There's death, there's destruction.
And then, verse 30, shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
So Jesus Christ descends, and what do the tribes of the earth do?
I shouldn't have posted that against Jesus.
I shouldn't have said that.
Just remembering all the blasphemous things
they've ever said.
All these fagnostics and atheists who mock Jesus Christ.
All of these pseudo-Christians like Jordan Peterson.
That's what you said, that's not what I said.
I never claimed that.
Everyone who's ever mocked Christianity,
what are they gonna mourn?
Why?
Because payday is arrived.
The days of vengeance have arrived. What was that? Where's my mouth now?
Look what it says in verse 31 and he shall send his angels with great sound of a trumpet
And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other
What is the same? So when he descends everyone sees it everyone mourns
Everyone's afraid and then you have these angels just being scattered throughout the heavens with trumpets
They blow the trumpet and this is when the real show starts
Because what does it say the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive or remain shall be caught up with
Caught up together with them in the clouds and so shall we ever be with the Lord
What do we see the trumpets are blown and then carcasses are just flying out of the ground from cemeteries in every other place
Where Christians have died and it's not like an invisible
Ascension either
They're physically coming out of the grave,
physically coming out of the ocean,
physically coming out of the ground
to meet the Lord of the air.
Those who have died in Christ first, okay?
And this is why Luke 21 says that men's hearts
are failing them for fear.
They're just like having heart attacks
as they're seeing bodies that's in into the air.
And so after them, then if we are there,
if we endure into the end, right?
We too shall be saved and we ascend up to be with the Lord as well, okay?
Now I want to mention this because this is very important verse 31
It says that they shall gather together
his elect and
herein we find
The main verse that pre-tribulation and dispensationalists will use
to claim pre-tribulation rapture.
Because you know, how do you look at a chapter like this
and still believe that the rapture,
you know, that the rapture happens before the tribulation?
If it literally says after the tribulation,
I'll tell you how.
Because verse 31, they'll claim that the elect
is referring to who?
The Jews.
This is why Zionism and the pre-tribulation rapture
are little incest buddies.
They go hand in hand.
They're perversions married together
to teach this false doctrine.
You remove the interpretation of verse 31,
the entire pillar, all the pillars of dispensationalism
completely falls apart.
Cause they'll say, oh no, Matthew 24 is for the Jews.
It says for the elect.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The elect according to the New Testament is believers.
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?
You know, how about the fact that Peter writes to those in Cappadocia, Bithynia, Pontius, Galatia,
and he calls them elect according to the foreknowledge of God?
You know what that tells me is that the elect is referring to believers.
Now, what's so retarded about dispensationalism is that they'll say,
well, Matthew 24 is for the Jews, but then when you ask them about proof regarding the eminence of Jesus Christ,
where do they go? Matthew 24.
Oh, Matthew 24 is for the Jews.
Where do the Bible say that he can come in at any moment
and he comes in secret?
Matthew 24.
Ah!
You just want to smack him.
Here's the proper interpretation.
Matthew 24 is for believers.
And you know what?
I'm not saying that the book of Matthew
is not for the Jews because it is.
Just read some of the parables.
They can have that.
That's for them.
Point that I'm making here is that when he's gathering together his elect. He's not gathering the Jews
Now the only Jews he's going to be gathering those who have believed in Christ who no longer refer to themselves as Jews
The elect is referring to believers. Okay, and look folks. This is this is where the seven-year tribulation
Has come from this is where the time of Jacob's trouble comes from all these
Nonsensical titles that dispensationalists come up with to try to fit around peg into a square hole. This is where they get it from
They try to claim that the elect is referring to the Jews folks
It does not fit the Jews Israel was God's elect of the Old Testament
But now that we're in the new covenant the elect according to the biblical definition the New Testament are all believers and
Once you realize that everything just falls right into place
So he gathers together his elect and he raptures his believers
He says now learn a parable of the fig tree when his branches yet tender and put it put it forth his leaves
You know that summer is nine so likewise he when he shall see all these things
Know that it is near even at the doors
Barely I say to you this generation shall not pass to all those things be fulfilled
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away
But of that day and hour knoweth no man know not the angels of heaven, but my father only so this is the first that they'll use to claim eminency
Oh, no man know what the day or the hour true true true true true true true
But we do know after what season and that is after the tribulation
We do know the events that take place
Before the coming of Christ. We're just not gonna know the day or the hour
Now we can surmise as to why we don't know the day of the hour, even though we know that it's 75 days after the fifth seal has started.
But you also have to keep in mind that according to the book of Daniel, the Antichrist of the End Times will seek to change times and seasons.
So when you're on the run, you can't really carry a calendar with you and figure out what's going on.
The only imminent coming that we're gonna see is the imminent coming of the Antichrist
He's the only one who's gonna show up at any time. Okay, and so I'm gonna stop there because I'm way beyond my time here
You got the gist of it though
And it's important for us to just know the timeline
Understand the events to take place prior to the coming of Christ and recognize that the Antichrist is the imminent coming
And by the way, what does the pre-tribulation rapture promote?
The imminent coming of Christ.
But scriptually, the only one who shows up first
is the Antichrist.
He's the one who shows up first.
He's the one who presents himself as Christ.
Jesus Christ comes there after and according to the biblical timeline. That's exactly how it is to and so
Let's pray follow me. Thank you so much for your word and thank you for Matthew 24 and all of the
The information that's given to us Lord so that we are not left in ignorance in
Darkness Lord help us as your people to pay attention to the Bible to pay attention to lost souls not the politics
not to wars
not to leaders. Lord, we need to give ourselves to the word of God.
We need to give ourselves to the service of the Lord.
We need to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Now is high time for our salvation is nearer than when we first got saved, Lord.
And so I pray that we look forward to the day of our redemption of our body, Lord, where
we can go home to be with you, but help us to realize, Lord, as Christians, that we
And so, bless us Lord with knowledge, bless us with endurance in the Christian life to withstand in the evil day Lord if this were to happen in our days and help us not to be gullible.
And just to believe everything that's out there, help us to keep our minds on you. We love you. We thank you. Pray this things in Jesus' name. Amen.
This is my father's world and to my listening ears all nature sings and round me through
