Time to Prepare

The whole world will soon receive the greatest shock imaginable, but you may be prepared. We have been warned about it in the Bible, but misunderstood the warning. Matthew 24:14, ‘And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come’.

We have believed that it is Christianity’s task to fulfil this particular preaching. It is not. Matthew 24 answers the question put to Christ by His disciples, verse 3, ‘As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

The end of this age will be introduced by that worldwide witness, and it is described in Revelation 14:6-7. ‘Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth–to every nation, tribe, language and people’. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

It will be projected into the minds of every man and woman on the face of the earth by God’s angel, the same gospel that Jesus Christ brought, Mark 1:14-15, ‘Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

 

The message will be projected more graphically then any computer game, directly and pictorially into our minds, so that we see the arrival of Christ for his Bride ( Matthew 25:1-10), followed by the most horrifying scenes of the tribulation here on earth, which will leave few men left. Isaiah 24:5-6, ‘The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. Will we act on the angel’s warning, repent, and worship our Creator?

Many ‘Christians’ will rejoice, but few will actually begin to keep the 10 Commandments, just as they do today. Thats why, when Christ does arrive for his Bride, it will be too late, Revelation 6:15-17, ‘Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
