PROPHECIES OF THE END TIME.....
WE NOW COME TO LUKE 21.
THIS CHAPTER MUST BE READ WITH MATTHEW 24 TO GET THE OVERALL TRUTH OF WHAT LEADS UP TO THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES ARE LOOKING AT THE TEMPLE. JESUS SAYS NOT ONE STONE WILL BE LEFT ON TOP OF ANOTHER.
THIS HAS NOT YET TAKEN PLACE, FOR THE "WAILING WALL" IN JERUSALEM TODAY, WAS PART OF THE TEMPLE STRUCTURE. THIS PROPHECY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 70 A.D. AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND JERUSALEM BY THE ROMAN ARMIES.
IN MATTHEW THE DISCIPLES SPECIFICALLY ASK JESUS WHEN THESE THINGS SHALL BE, THE SIGN OF HIS COMING AND THE END OF THE AGE.
IN LUKE JESUS TELLS THEM MANY WILL COME IN JESUS' NAME, SAYING HE IS THE CHRIST, THAT IS JESUS IS THE CHRIST. THEY WILL SAY THE TIME DRAWS NEAR..... WE SURE HAVE LOTS OF THEM TODAY; ON YOUTUBE ON THE RELIGIOUS TV CHANNELS.... THEY HAVE PROCLAIMED IN SERMONS, BOOKS, PAPERS, THAT THE "RAPTURE" [SECRET RAPTURE] IS NEAR; THEY HAVE BEEN ESPECIALLY DOING THIS SINCE THE 1980s. IN THE LAST FEW YEARS LEADING UP TO 2016, THEY WERE BUSY SAYING IT WAS NEAR.... RED MOONS, BLUE MOONS, THIS AND THAT HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST..... A LARGE PUSH TO "THE TIME DRAWS NEAR" ..... AS JESUS SAID, GO NOT AFTER THEM. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT; NONE OF THEM UNDERSTAND BIBLE PROPHECY, NONE SEEM TO KNOW THE VITAL KEYS TO THE LAST 42 MONTHS OF THIS AGE.
JESUS SAID WARS ARE NOT THE SIGN, FOR WARS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND STILL ARE.
JESUS SAYS BEGINNING LUKE 21: 10 "NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND FAMINES, AND PESTILENCES, AND FEARFUL SIGHTS AND SIGNS SHALL THERE BE FROM HEAVEN."
WE HAVE NOT YET SEEN FEARFUL SIGHTS AND SIGNS FROM HEAVEN.....WE ARE NOT THERE YET. WHY? THE FOLLOWING VERSES GIVE THE ANSWER:
"BUT BEFORE ALL THESE, THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON YOU.....AND YOU SHALL BE BETRAYED BY PARENTS, BROTHERS, KINFOLKS, FRIENDS, AND SOME OF YOU THEY SHALL CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH. AND YOU SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE." (verses 12-19).
BEFORE VERSES 10-11..... THIS MUST HAPPEN!
IT IS THE TIME OF THE LAST GREAT AND MIGHTY PERSECUTION OF TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST..... SOME [NOT ALL] WILL BE PUT TO DEATH!!
BEFORE THE GREAT SIGNS AND FEARFUL SIGHTS FROM HEAVEN, THERE MUST COME A MIGHTY PERSECUTION OF TRUE SAINTS OF GOD, SOME BEING KILLED!
THIS END TIME PERSECUTION OF SAINTS HAS NOT YET HAPPENED!
THE SIGNS AND FEARFUL SIGHTS FROM HEAVEN HAVE NOT YET HAPPENED!
THE PERSECUTION OF TRUE DISCIPLES OF JESUS MUST COME FIRST!
THIS IS YET TO COME!
WHEN THAT PERSECUTION AND KILLING OF SOME, TAKES PLACE, WE ARE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION..... CHAPTER 6 AND THE 5TH SEAL. YOU WILL NOTICE THE 6TH SEAL IS THE MIGHTY FEARFUL SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS, WHICH SIGNAL THE "GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND" (verse 17). THIS IS THE PROPHETIC "DAY OF THE LORD" AS RECORDED IN DOZENS OF OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS.
OVER IN MATTHEW 24, WE HAVE THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND PERSECUTION OF SAINTS, AND FALSE PROPHETS THAT CAN DO MIRACLES.....A TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH AS NEVER SEEN ON EARTH BEFORE - A TIME THAT IF NOT CUT SHORT WOULD LEAD TO ALL HUMAN FLESH BEING DESTROYED.
IT IS AFTER THAT TIME, THAT THE FRIGHTFUL HEAVENLY SIGNS APPEAR - MATTHEW 24 AND VERSE 29.
THEN AFTER THAT TIME AS EXPANDED UPON BY THE BOOK OF REVELATION, JESUS COMES - THE ANGELS ARE SENT FORTH WITH A TRUMPET SOUND [SEE 1 CORINTHIANS 15] TO GATHER THE ELECT FROM ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH ..... THE RESURRECTION OF SAINTS AND INSTANT CHANGE FROM MORTAL TO IMMORTAL OF THOSE SAINTS ALIVE ON EARTH [1 CORINTHIANS 15 WITH 1 THESSALONIANS 4, AND REVELATION 11: 15-19, AND ZECHARIAH. 14].
THIS IS THE LAST TRUMPET..... THE 7TH TRUMPET OF REVELATION.
SO WE HAVE:
1. GREAT PERSECUTION OF TRUE SAINTS OF GOD.
2. THE HEAVENLY SIGNS AND ALL THAT COMES AFTER AS RECORED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION FROM CHAPTER 7 ON.
3. THE SIGN OF CHRIST'S RETURN, SEEING HIM IN THE HEAVEN AND CLOUDS.
4. THE RESURRECTION OR INSTANT CHANGE OF THE ELECT, GATHERED BY THE ANGELS AND MEETING JESUS IN THE CLOUDS.
5. JESUS COMING WITH THE SAINTS FROM THE CLOUDS; HIS FEET TOUCH THE MOUNT OF OLIVES THE SAME DAY.
THESE ARE THE 5 BACIC AND FUNDAMENTAL POINTS TO JESUS' RETURN.
WHEN CAN THE SAINTS KNOW THAT IMMINENT HORRENDOUS PERSECUTION AND FOR SOME, DEATH..... WHEN CAN THEY KNOW IT IS NIGH AT HAND?
JESUS TELLS US IN LUKE.
BEGINNING IN VERSE 20 "AND WHEN YOU SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED [ABOUT] WITH ARMIES, THEN KNOW THAT THE DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH."
THIS IS THE "ABOMINATION OF [MAKING OF] DESOLATION SPOKEN BY DANIEL THE PROPHET, STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE..." (MATTHEW 24). ALL EXPLAINED FULLY AND IN-DEPTH IN MY MANY STUDIES UNDER "PROPHECY" ON MY WEBSITE.
THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IS THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM BY ARMIES OF THE BEAST POWER OF REVELATION. WHEN THIS TAKES PLACE THE WAILING WALL WILL COME CRASHING DOWN, NOT ONE STONE WILL BE LEFT UPON ANOTHER...... THUS FULFILLING JESUS' PROPHECY OF MATTHEW 24; MARK 13; AND LUKE 21.
LUKE 21: 20 IS THE INTERPRETATION OF "THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION" - THE BIBLE INTERPRETS THE BIBLE!
DANIEL CHAPTER 8 IS WHAT JESUS WAS REFERRING TO, FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT DANIEL WROTE ABOUT, FOR THE LATTER TIME, OR END TIME, OR THE TIME OF THE END.
WHEN JERUSALEM IS COMPASSED ABOUT WITH ARMIES, AT THE END TIME, WE KNOW HER DESOLATION DRAWS NEAR, VERY NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOOR.
AT THIS TIME JESUS GOES ON TO SAY IN LUKE:
"THEN LET THEM WHICH ARE IN JUDEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS; AND LET THEM WHICH ARE IN THE MIDTS OF IT DEPART OUT; AND LET NOT THOSE THAT ARE IN THE COUNTRIES ENTER THEREINTO" I GUESS NOT, WHY WOULD YOU MOVE INTO THE FIRE AND DESTRUCTION TO COME.
"FOR THESE BE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE, THAT ALL THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED."
YES, THERE ARE MANY MANY BIBLE PROPHECIES THAT ARE YET TO COME TO PASS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LAST 42 MONTHS OF THIS AGE.
"BUT WOE UNTO THEM THAT ARE WITH CHILD, AND TO THEM THAT GIVE SUCK, IN THOSE DAYS! FOR THERE SHALL BE GREAT DISTRESS IN THE LAND [IN THE HOLY LAND] AND WRATH UPON THIS PEOPLE [THOSE WHO DWELL IN THE HOLY LAND]. AND THEY SHALL FALL BY THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND SHALL BE LED AWAY CAPTIVE INTO ALL NATIONS: AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED" (verses 21-24).
YES, AS SHOCKING AND AS UN-BELIEVABLE TO MANY, THE JEWS OF THE HOLY LAND ARE YET IN FOR ANOTHER WAR THAT THEY WILL NOT WIN, BUT MANY WILL DIE WHILE THE REST WILL FLEE, OR BE TAKEN AS CAPTIVES. OTHER PROPHECIES SHOW THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN TO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WHO ARE THE PEOPLES OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH, USA, AND NORTH WEST EUROPE. YES, A THIRD WORLD WAR VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST TWO WORLD WARS, ONLY THE NEXT TIME AROUND, THE VICTORY WILL BE FOR GERMANY AND HER ALLIES..... A 7TH AND LAST RESURRECTED HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE OF EUROPE.
AFTER ALL THIS..... THEN THE HEAVENLY SIGNS COME.....
"AND THERE SHALL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN, AND IN THE MOON, AND IN THE STARS, AND UPON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS, WITH PERPLEXITY, THE SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING. MEN'S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, AND FOR LOOKING AFTER THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH, FOR THE POWERS OF THE HEAVEN SHALL BE SHAKEN" (verses 25-26).
"AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY."
IT IS A STEP BY STEP PROPHECY FOR THE END OF THIS AGE, AND THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. NOTICE NO SILLY TEACHING OF A "SECRET RAPTURE" HERE. NO TWO-PHASES OF A ONE SECOND COMING. THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS ONLY SAW ONE SECOND COMING OF THE MESSIAH IN GLORY.
"AND WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, THEN LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH" (verse 28).
JESUS WENT ON TO SAY THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.
IN THE CONTEX "THIS GENERATION" OBVIOUSLY MEANS THE FULL HUMAN RACE AND HISTORY OF THE RACE FROM THEN, TO THE COMING OF CHRIST. HUMAN LIFE WILL CONTINUE SO ALL PROPHECY CAN BE FULFILLED.
GOD'S SAINTS ARE TO TAKE HEED, TO KEEP THEMSELVES FROM THE EVIL AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, SO THE DAY OF JESUS' COMING WILL NOT TAKE THEM UN-AWARES (verse 34-35).
THE SAINTS ARE TO WATCH AND TO PRAY, TO BE WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE END TIME THINGS (verse 36).
THEY ESCAPE THESE THINGS NOT BY A "SECRET RAPTURE" [NOWHERE TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE], BUT BY FLEEING TO THE WILDERNESS, AS SHOWN IN REVELATION 12, JUST AS IT WAS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES, ALSO CALLED THE DARK AGES.
GOD WILL PROTECT THOSE IN THE WILDERNESS OF THIS EARTH, MIRACULOUS PROTECTION AS SHOWN IN REVELATION 12.
THIS GREAT PROPHECY IS COUPLED WITH DANIEL 11:40-45 AND ALL OF DANIEL 12. THAT SECTION OF DANIEL IS ONE LARGE CONNECTED END TIME PROPHECY, WHICH ALSO IS CONNECTED TO DANIEL 8.
I HAVE EXPOUNDED FOR YOU ALL THE PROPHETIC BOOKS OF THE BIBLE ON THIS WEBSITE, UNDER "PROPHECY" - THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS EXPOUNDED FOR YOU UNDER "THE NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE STORY."
