SIGNS OF END TIME-CHRIST'S RETURN AT THE DOOR

The Lord Jesus began His famous Olivet prophetic discourse after His disciples came while He sat on the Mount of Olive to ask "Tell us,when will these things be?And what will be the sign of Your coming,and of the end of the age?" (Matt 24:3).The Lord then began to utter many strong prophetic statements such as the rising of many antichrists,false messiahs,wars,rumors of wars,Nation/kingdom to rise against nation/kingdom (Great world war),famines and pestilences. Jesus declared that all these will come to pass but the end is not yet.One of Jesus's most astounding prophecy that has come to pass before our very eye this 2010 is the catasthropic Haitian earthquake.
2000 years ago,Jesus foresaw these signs of nature and prophesied: "For nation will rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom,And there will be famines,pestilences,and earthquakes in various places.All these are the beginning of sorrows"(Matt 24:7-8).

Many more major earthquakes in various places to occur in years to come just as Jesus has predicted.As the matter of facts,a week before the Haitian earthquake,an earthquake of 7.1Magnitude has already hit the Solomons island(January 3,2010) resulting in a tsunami measuring approximately 10 feet in some part of the islands which destroyed over 200 homes.It was also reported that the earthquake has left as many as 1000 people homeless in Rendova island .Surely the imminent return of the Lord is even closer as never before in our generation.Therefore ,Jesus expected us to be always be watchfull to see all these things so that we may know that the end is near,even at the doors!(Matt 24:33)

Wikipedia the free encyclopedia, in their web's report stated :"The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 M earthquake.Its epicentre was near the town of Leogane occurred at 16:53 local time on Tuesday,12 January 2010.By 24 January,at least 25 after shocks measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded.As of Feb 12,an estimated three million people were affected by the quake,the Haitin goverment reports that between 217,000 to 320,000 had been identified as dead,an estimated 300,000 injured and an estimated 1,000,000 homeless.The death toll is expected to rise.They also estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged.(Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia"2010 Haiti Earthquake")

I was pondering with awe seeing this fulfilled Christ's prediction and ask myself "why would God permit such a great natural disaster to fall upon the nation of Haiti? Was it God's judgement wrath had befallen because majority of the Haitians people are involved in occultism and spirit ism?".Voodoo maybe considered its national religion even though Catholic is the official religion in Haiti.The Haitian goverment endorsed and support the voodoo priests making it the poorest and the most spiritually oppressive nation in the western hemisphere.This make me remembers God's word in Isaiah 26:9a"For when Your judgements are in the earth,The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness"

This earthquake tragedy maybe God's discipline instead of punishment,and a call for repentance because when a nation reject God's law of moral standard ,the natural disasters is one of His way to call nations to turn to Him.I remember how God spoke to Jonah the prophet to"Arise,go to Nineveh,that great city and cry out against it;for their wickedness has come up before Me"Jonah 1:2) .God is ready to pour His judgment on this great city,but then upon hearing Jonah's message,they repented .

In Jonah 3:10 said "Then God saw their works,that turned from their evil way;and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them and He did not do it".We need to accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour the only way to be rescued from the coming wrath .Just as in my previous posting,I've mentioned how many false christ and antichrist shall arise in these last days,again ,natural disaster such a earthquakes will be another end time signs that will increase in frequency as the inevitable return of Jesus draw near.Maranatha,Come Lord Jesus!

THE ROYAL PRIEST OF KING JESUS
Revelation 1:5-6"To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priest to God and and Father..."

When we become a child of God (Romans 8:15).He gave us a divine ministry of becoming the new Testament spiritual priest before God the Father.In heaven,Jesus Christ is the Great High Priest in the order of Melcizedek and He intercede for us(Hebrew 6:20).While of this planet earth,we are the present priest of God.What are the priestly duty as Christ's spiritual priest ?There are TWO main priestly ministries that you need to do:
1.To intercedes in prayer on behalf of sinners and christians who have lost their intimate fellowship with God.(I Timothy 2:1).
Remember the great blessing when we pray and intercede for others?Job the prophet was rewarded for his priestly duty after he prayed for his friends"The LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his freinds.Indedd the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before"(Job 42:10)

2.To offer spiritual sacrifices
There are literally four type of spiritual sacrifices that we need to present before God constantly as His priest.
i.Offer our body as a living sacrifice -Roman 12:1-surrender our will,emotions,feeling,senses,
desire completely under God's will.
ii.Offer sacrifice of praise -Hebrew 13:15
iii.Offer sacrifice of good works-Hebrew 13:16
iv.Offer sacrifice through giving -Hebrew 12:16

My fellow servants of God,are we committing ourself to perform this TWO priestly duty? Jesus Christ has appointed us to be God's priest and its our priestly duty now to intercede in prayer and offer a willful sacrifices unto Him .

CHRIST SECOND COMING-THE GLORIOUS APPEARANCE

Acts 1:9-12 "Now when He had spoken these things,while they watch,He was taken up,and a cloud received Him out of their sigth.And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up,behold two men stood by them in white apparel,who said,"Men of Galilee,why do you stand gazing up in heaven?This same Jesus,who was taken up from you into heaven,will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven".Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,which is near Jerusalem,a sabbath day's journey"

The second coming of Jesus Christ with His glorious appearance is a biblical infallible doctrine which need to be taught again and again to the Church today.Two angels testified and spoke to His disciples that this same Jesus that was taken up into heaven will come come down again in "like manner"and therefore we know that Jesus Christ will return from heaven and come down to earth on the same mountain that is called mount of Olive. Christ's glorious appearance is the second phase of His second coming in glory.He will appear from heaven publicly ,returning as the King of Kings and Lord of Lord,together with His elected saints to judge and rule the world.Jesus is coming to set up His millennial Kingdom on earth .

Old testament prophets has prophesied about His coming and so does prophets in the New testament.
"Now Enoch,the seventh from Adam,prophesied about these men also saying,"Behold,the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,to execute judgment on all,to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way,and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him" Prophet Enoch (Jude 1:14-15)

"Behold, He is coming with clouds,and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.Even so.Amen"Rev 1:7 (Apostle & Prophet John)
The Lord Jesus Himself prophesied of His glorious return when He mentioned it during His Olivet discourse as such "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.And He will send His angels with a great sound of trumpet,and they will gather together the elect from the four winds,from one end of heaven to the end"Matthew 24:30-31

Here we find that the second installment of the Rapture will occur as Christ gathers all His elect from all over the earth.Many Bible scholars indicated that Jesus will rapture the Tribulation saints still living together with the Tribulation saints whose souls are under the altar (Rev 6).This second instalment of Rapture might occur just before the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev19:5-10)while the Old testament saints as indicated in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 12:1-2,13) will be resurrected on or before the glorious appearance of our Lord.When all this events occurs,it will leave the earth being inhabited only by the unsaved when Christ return as the judge and King to reign for a thousand years.
His 1000 years Millennial Kingdom reign on earth was told to be the most exciting event in all Bible prophecy.The apostle John saw this vision of Christ and he wrote"As I saw thrones,and they sat on them,and judgement was committed to them.Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God,who had not worship the beast or his image,and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years" Revelation 20:4

GLORIOUS APPEARANCE'S TIMING?
Let me rehearse back the End time frame as a reminder.The first phase of His imminent return to rapture His church precede the 7 years Tribulation Period.The countdown of 7 seven years Tribulation started when the Antichrist sign a peace treaty with Israel for 7 years(Daniel 9:27).In the first quarter (Three and the half years)of the Tribulation,God's wrath of seven seals and seven trumpets of judgement will be poured out to earth (Rev 6:1-17,Rev 8:1-9:21).Then come the Great Tribulation period(The second quarter of three and the half years) where God will pour out the final seven vials/bowls of judgement to the earth (Rev 16:1-21)

It is therefore my belief that Christ's second coming of His glorious appearance will be after this 7 seven Tribulation period.We won't know the exact "timing"of this public appearance but we are certain that His glorious return will be after the completion of the 7 years Tribulation period.John saw Christ's glorious coming and prophesied:

"Now I saw heaven opened,and behold,a white horse.And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,and in righteousness He judge and makes war.His eyes were like a flame of fire,and on His head were many crowns.He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.He was clothed with robe dipped in blood,and His name is called The Word of God.And the armies in heaven,clothed in fine linen,white and clean,followed Him in white horses.Now out of His mouth goes sharp sword,that with it He should strike the nations.And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.He Himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.And He has on His robes and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS,AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)

Christ's judgement causes the Devil to be bound and cast to the bottomless pit during Christ millennium reign on earth.(Rev 20:1-3).In this millennium kingdom of Christ,the saints together with the resurrected saints "shall be priest of God and of Christ,and shall reign with Him a thousand years"Rev 20:6a).I rejoice in the Lord over this revelation and I hope that I will be one of those chosen saints to be counted worthy to reign with Jesus in His millennium Kingdom.After the 1000 years reign has ended,come the "White Throne Judgment"of Christ (Rev 20:11-15).This judgement is only for the sinners.All books of God will be open on that day(The book of the Law,the book of Life,Books of man's work,Lamb's book of life).Christ will pronounce His judgement base on these four books for all the old and new testament sinners .They will know that His final judgment is infallibly justified and thus the ultimate eternal place for them is the lake of fire.(Rev 20:11-15).Then come the new heaven and new earth where Christ and His saints shall live forever and ever.Thus we shall be with Lord forever and ever (Rev 21-22).Amen!Come Lord Jesus!

PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD

Matthew 26:39 "He (Jesus)went a little farther and fell on His face,and prayed,saying,"O My Father;if it is possible,let this cup pass from Me;nevertheless,not as I will,but as Your will"

Jesus's prayer request was answered but not the answer that He desired(His will) but rather God's will.Have you been praying/asking God for something for are long time,yet its seem He is so silence?Praise God!He already answered your prayers.His answer is this :"ITS NOT MY WILL!"

PERMOHONAN DOA YANG MENURUT KEHENDAK TUHAN

Matius 26:39 "Maka Ia(Yesus)maju sedikit,lulu sujud dan berdoa,kataNya"Ya BapaKu,jikalau sekiranya mungkin biarlah cawan ini lalu daripadaKU.tetapi janganlah seperti yang Ku kehendaki,melainkan seperti yang Engkau kehendaki"

Doa Yesus dijawap Bapa disorga menurut kehendak Bapa dan bukan menurut kehendak diriNya.Apakah sampai kini TUHAN sepertinya berdiam diri dan menutup telingaNya terhadapa segala permintaan doamu?Puji Tuhan,dia sudah menjawab doamu!Jawapan TUHAN ialah demikian :"Itu bukan kehendakKU!"

SIGNS OF END TIME,THE LAST HOUR

"Little children,it is the last hour;and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming,even now many antichrists have come,by which we know that it is the last hour"(1 John 2:18)

One of the most dangerous religious christian cult today is JOSE LUIS DE JESUS MIRANDA ,a 62 year old Puorte Rican who now resides in Miami,Florida.He is the leader of the cult called"Cresendia En Gracia"or "Grow in Grace international ministry" an organization which he claim has millions of followers which survives through donations bringing in 1.4 millions dollars a year.Some followers donate cars,homes and large sum of money to the man who claim to be Jesus Christ.De Jesus Miranda has churches in 24 countries,mostly Latin America but also in the US and Canada.Devotees calls him "Jesus Christ" and even tattooed an inscription "666"on their body to illustrate their devotion to him.He claim that he is the second coming of Christ and that the devil has been destroyed and there is no hell.
He uses the bible to preach,quote ,twist and interpreted scriptures to his advantage.Jose Luis also teaches that hell does not exist and they are free to indulge in sin because as long as they accept him as the Christ,they are saved and cannot loose their salvation.He goes to 24 radio stations and on many US TV cable network to spread his false doctrines in America.The Lord Jesus has prophesied of such emergence in the last days and warned us to"Take heed that no one deceives you.For many will come in My name saying"I am the Christ and will deceive many:"(Matthew 24:4-5)

I once read in a web,one of De Jesus Miranda's devotees confession: "I confess that I am a collaborator to the "DESIRED"of the nations,and together with him,I will sow so that I can see all the nations sakes;and the posterior glory shall be better and greater than the first one and I am part of that and I receive that you are enlightened to be part of it!The second coming of Jesus Christ has taken place-GOD IS HERE ON EARTH-and his name is Dr.Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda!Abba Father!(www.apologeticsindex.org/321-creciendo-en-gracia)

De Jesus Miranda's cultic followers acknowledge him as God their father when he merely a man who claim to be God.De Jesus latest claim was that he is now the Antichrist because he supersede the teaching of Jesus and therefore claim that "666"in his number,the man's number who claim to be God.Miranda has the '666'number tattooed on his hand.what a total blasphemy!

The rise of many false teachers ,false antichrists,false prophets and false apostles are the work of the Devil to deceive and to spread out false teachings around the world as we approach the dawn of the Christ's imminent return .You can see now how Christ's prophetic words in the Bible are being fulfilled in our time and that we are really living in the last hour.The Holy Spirit who live in us will glorified Jesus and every man of God will lift the name name of Jesus Christ of the Bible (John 16:13-14).I declare to you as God's servant,this cult leader Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is a false messiah,false Christ who have a spirit of the Antichrist and that every Christian believer should reject,ignore,disassociate and warn other Christians not to be deceive by his teachings.

GOD FORGET SINS

Hebrew 10:17"Then He ( God) adds:'Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more"

Once sins are confess and repented before God,the holy blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us and forgotten by God(1 John 1:9)The devil and men will always try to recall or remind you of your past sins,mistakes,shortcomings or wrong doings and thus weaken your faith.It's agreat sin to dig people's sin or talk bad behind a christian brother who has repented.If God has forgotten their sins,who are we to remember or jugde?Love cover all.Let us love one another

RAPTURE -PRE-PARTIAL TRIBULATION DOCTRINE

"Because you have kept My command to persevere,I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world,to test those who dwell on the earth"(Rev 3:10)

The Lord Jesus has promised that He will keep His saints from God's coming wrath upon the earth,that is the seven years tribulation period.Just as how God kept Noah save from the coming great flood that wiped the entire human race,God will also keep and deliver His Church from the coming wrath upon those who dwell on earth.
Peter wrote in his epistle that if God has spared Noah from the great flood then" the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgement "(2 Peter 1:9).Enoch was caught up by God to heaven and didn't experience death before the great flood and yet he foresaw the glorious appearing of Christ's second coming after the seven years Tribulation period.The Bible said "Enoch,the seventh from Adam prophesied about these men also,saying"Behold,the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints"(Jude 1:14).The old testament is the shadow of the New Testament prophetic events and so I will now and then quote many prophetic scriptures to prove my point.

I am a believer in the Pre-Partial Tribulation doctrine and that the Church of Jesus Christ will be caught up and raptured by the Holy Spirit just before the tribulation period occurs.This is Jesus's first phase of His second coming,the unknown hour of His appearance (blessed hope) for saints. I also believe that many Christians will be left behind (not raptured)and will go through the seven years Tribulation period because they aren't living in accordance to God's word.You should therefore join the type of Spirit filled church denominations who teaches holiness,staying true the teaching of the 66 books of the Bible and not a dead,lukewarm comprising type of Churches.Church denominations won't save us,but I'm emphasizing the saints to join a Church that teaches only the pure unadulterated word of God.God's end time plan to rapture His Church is not the reason for"escapism"as many Mid-Trib and Post-Tribulationist uses for condemning Pre-Trib viewers.Rather its the gospel of good news to comfort the saints and so we can use this knowing to "..comfort one another with these words"(1 Thess 4:18)
Why I believe in a Pre-Partial Tribulation interpretation?.Here are some the biblical facts and tenets of my belief.

1.JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF GUARANTEED TO DELIVER US
Our Lord Jesus Christ has promise to keep us for the coming Tribulation by the means of rapturing us from God's wrath.In Revelation 3:1,Jesus said "Because you have kept My command to persevere,I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world,to test those who dwell on the earth".The original recipient of this letter,the Church in Philadelphia has long since gone and destroyed and therefore Christ's word is the prophetic word of protection and deliverance for His universal Church throughout the ages. What a great comfort and what a blessed hope that our Lord has installed for every child of God who wait upon the Lord in this last days!
(Interesting note:The word "from"in Greek translation is "ek" in Revelation 3:10 is also translated as "out of".Jesus is saying "I will also keep you out of the of wrath to come."

2.THE BIBLE TEACH ABOUT THE RAPTURE
1 Thessalonians 4:17 clearly stated"Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.And thus we shall always be with the Lord".The word"Rapture"is the English translation from the Latin Vulgate bible word for "rapio"or "harpazo"in Greek which means "to catch up,to snatch away or to take out".The apostle Paul's understanding of the Rapture is means to comfort the saints during this age (1 Thess 4:18)


3.PRE-PARTIAL TRIBULATION PRESERVE IMMINENCY
When Jesus said "Therefore if you will not watch,I will come to you as a thief and you will not know what hour I will upon you"(Rev 3:3).He is referring to the imminency of His return to take His bride,the Church to His Father's house in heaven.Imminency means an immediate occurrence of an important events at any time.In this case, the main imminent event is Christ's first phase of His immediate return,the Rapture .The Mid-Trib ,Post-tribulationist and other views destroy that immediate,at-any time coming of the Lord.The fact is those views let Christians not to look for Christ's return at any time,but rather to look for the Antichrist and the Tribulation.

4.MANY CALLED,FEW CHOSEN TO RAPTURE
Only the Spirit filled saints will be raptured.Those who choose to live a carnal lifestyle ,lukewarm and worldly Christians will be left behind and will go through the Tribulation to test of their faith.Christians who live a satisfied life of just being "save by grace"and got entangled with many worries and concern with the world will find themselves tend to live a compromise life with God and the world.I doubt these kind of "yo-yo"Christian will ever be rapture.
Many Churches practices a compromise faith allowing strange teachings to enter their Church and they began to be lead astray. Jesus said "Then two men will be in the field:one will be taken and the other left.Two women will be grinding at the mill;one will be taken and the other left.Watch therefore,for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.....Therefore you also be ready,for the Son of Man is coming to an hour you do not expect"Matthew 24:40-42,44).
The parables of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13)also symbolize how five virgins were wise because they maintain the fullnest of the "oil"of the Holy Ghost while the other five foolish one have lost the "oil"of fullnest in the Holy Spirit.When Jesus,the bridegroom came,these five foolish virgin later found themselves being locked and being left out from the wedding feast of the Lamb of God in heaven (Rev 19:9).Jesus again reminded "Watch therefore,for you not know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is Coming"(Matt 25:13)

5.TRIBULATION IS NOT FOR THE CHURCH
Tribulation is God's wrath for the unbelievers,but not for them that is saved from Christ's resurection to the rapture.God's people did suffer throughout all human history,but there is a special time called the Day of the Lord for God's judgement upon the earth.Christian suffering and the Tribulation/Day of the Lord are not the same.During the Church Age,the saints of God represented by the Church of Philadelphia are promised in Revelation 3:10,

"Because you kept My command to persevere,I will also keep you from the hour of trails which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth"Paul stated"and wait for His Son from heaven,whom He raised from the dead,even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come"(1 Thess 1:10)
He also stated "For God did not appoint us to wrath,but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ"(1 Thess 5:10)Romans 5:9 states "Much more then,having now been justified by His blood,we shall be saved from the wrath through Him"Colossians 3:4 states"When Christ who is our life appears,then you also will appear with Him in glory"Again and again,scriptures stated that the church is not meant for God's wrath.

6.THE CHURCH IS ABSENT IN REVELATION 4-18
17 times the Church was mentioned in the first three chapters of Revelation,but after John was called to come up to heaven at the beginning of chapter 4,he saw the events of the Tribulation and God's wrath down the earth,but the Church was not mentioned or seen again until chapter 19,where she returns to the earth with her Bridegroom at His glorious appearing.Why?The because she is now where to be found in the Tribulation.She is snatch away and caught up by the Lord before the tribulation begin!

In conclusion to this,I never claim that Pre-Partial Trib views have all the answers for the many questions regarding the imminent return of the Lord to rapture His Church.However,let us all consider all the biblical facts that were written to support this view.I have my strong conviction that Pre-Partial Tribulation views hold the most suitable facts fitting to such biblical timing concernig end time that any other views.Using the golden rule of interpretation"When the plains sense of scripture makes common sense,seek no other sense but,take every word at its primary,literal meaning,unless the facts of the immidieat context clearly indicate otherwise"
I therefore shall affirm to use common sense in viewing the many facets of the scriptures to comfort every believer as our main purpose to present this prophetic end time teaching (1 Thessalonians 4:18)
