LEADING TO THE END AND CHRIST'S RETURN
by Keith Hunt
I HAVE MORE YET TO EXPLAIN TO YOU IN THE CONTEXT OF "THIS END TIME TEMPLE TEACHING" BUT FOR NOW I'LL DROP IN THIS STUDY.
MARK 13----- JESUS LEAVES THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, HIS DISCIPLES SAY, "MASTER LOOK AT ALL THESE STONES AND BUILDINGS" - PLURAL.
JESUS REPLIES, "YOU SE THESE GREAT BUILDINGS, WELL THERE SHALL NOT BE ONE STONE LEFT ON ANOTHER, ALL WILL BE THROWN DOWN."
AS JESUS SAT ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, PETER, JAMES, JOHN, AND ANDREW, ASKED HIM WHEN, AND WHAT SHALL BE WHEN ALL THESE THINGS WILL COME TO BE FULFILLED.
JESUS GIVES SOME SIGNS OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHO WOULD INDEED CLAIM JESUS IS THE CHRIST, BUT WILL DECEIVE MANY. NOTE, MANY NOT THE FEW, BUT MANY.
THERE WILL BE WARS, NATIONS RISING AGAINST NATIONS, THERE WILL BE EARTHQUAKES, THERE WILL BE FAMINES....JUST THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS [verses 2-8].
THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES, BUT CERTAINLY IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, ALL THESE THINGS HAVE INCREASED; ESPECIALLY THE "CHRISTIAN RELIGION" - BROADCASTED ON FIRST RADIO, THEN ON TV AND THE INTERNET, LIKE AS NEVER BEFORE IN THE LAST 2,000 YEARS. THERE ARE TV CHANNELS DEVOTED TO 24 HOUR CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS PROGRAMS. MANY, INDEED MANY AND MANY, HAVE IN THE LAST 50 YEARS BEEN PROCLAIMING CHRIST IS THE CHRIST. JESUS SAID IT WOULD BE SO, AND THEY, THE MANY HAVE DECEIVED THE MANY!!
VERSES 9-13 SPEAKS OF A LITERAL PERSECUTION; TRUE SAINTS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE RULERS AND KINGS, PEOPLE IN SECULAR AUTHORITY; EVEN FAMILY MEMBERS BETRAYING ONE ANOTHER; PEOPLE HATING CHRIST'S DISCIPLES FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE. AND AT THE SAME TIME THE GOSPEL GOING TO THE NATIONS - PLURAL - OF THE WORLD.
THIS MUST BE [AND THE REST OF THE COMING VERSES PROVE IT] AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AGE, FOR AGAIN IN THE LAST 30 YEARS VIA TV, THE INTERNET, PRINTED MATTER, THE GOSPEL IS GOING TO ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD AS NEVER BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY. AS AN EXAMPLE, MY WEBSITE, B;OG, YOUTUBE, GOES TO MOST NATIONS OF THE WORLD, AND AS THE YEARS COME, MORE AND MORE NATIONS, AS MORE NATIONS HAVE THE MODERN INTERNET ON MANY HIGH TECH DEVICES, THE GOSPEL ON MY WEBSITE AND BLOG AND YOUTUBE, WILL GO TO ALL NATIONS. THIS IS A PROPHECY FOR THE VERY END TIMES [A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME, WHICH WE HAVE ENTERED BUT DO NOT KNOW ITS FULL LENGTH].
YOU WILL NOTICE.... A PERSECUTION OF CHRIST'S TRUE PEOPLE! NO TALK HERE OF A SECRET COMING OF CHRIST, AN INVISIBLE COMING, AN ANY SECOND COMING, TO TAKE THE SAINTS TO HEAVEN, IN THE IDEA OF A "SECRET RAPTURE." AND THAT TEACHING I BLOW TO A MILLION BITS OF DUST IN OTHER STUDIES. IT IS ONE OF THE DECEPTIONS OF THE MANY FALSE PROPHETS.
VERSE 14 - A KEY VERSE. THE "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION," SPOKEN BY DANIEL THE PROPHET, STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT; THOSE IN JUDEA HAD THEN BETTER FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS. DANIEL SPEAKS OF THIS IN HIS CHAPTER 12:11 - AN ABOMINATION THAT "MAKES DESOLATE."
I HAVE FULLY EXPLAINED DANIEL 12 IN OTHER STUDIES.
THE BIBLE INTERPRETS ITSELF. LUKE 21, CONCERNING THIS SAME PROPHECY OF MARK 13, GIVES YOU THE ANSWER OF WHAT IS THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE - IT'S FOUND IN VERSE 20. WHEN JERUSALEM IS SURROUNDED BY ARMIES, THEN THE DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH - JERUSALEM WILL BE DESTROYED, ENOUGH THAT ALL THE STONES OF THE TEMPLE WILL BE CAST TO THE GROUND. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN 70 A.D. WHEN THE ROMAN ARMIES DESTROYED JERUSALEM; FOR THE WAILING WALL, IN JERUSALEM WAS PART OF THE TEMPLE OF JESUS' DAY. I PROVE IN ANOTHER STUDY THAT THE TEMPLE JESUS AUTHORIZED INCLUDED THE WHOLE EDIFICE THAT HEROD BUILT.
THIS WAILING WALL WILL COME DOWN IN THE FUTURE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, AND THAT PART OF JESUS' PROPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED, SHORTLY BEFORE HE RETURNS, AS HE GOES ON TO EXPLAIN, AND GIVES MORE SIGNS TO LOOK FOR JUST AHEAD OF HIS RETURN.
PEOPLE IN THE HOLY LAND, IN JERUSALEM, ARE TO FLEE, NOT EVEN RETURNING TO THE HOUSE IF OUTSIDE, TO GATHER ANYTHING TOGETHER. AND PROVING THIS IS AT THE VERY END TIME, SHORTLY BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS, IS PROVEN BY VERSE 19. IT IS THE TIME OF AFFLICTION SUCH AS WAS NOT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION, AND SHALL NEVER BE AGAIN. WE HAVE YET TO ENTER THAT TIME, FOR AS WE SHALL SEE, AFTER SOME OTHER SIGNS JESUS WILL RETURN.
GOD WILL SHORTEN THOSE DAYS OF AFFLICTION FOR IF HE DID NOT, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED. AND DURING THAT TIME MORE FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE, SOME DOING MIRACLES, WONDERS , SIGNS, TO DECEIVE MANY, YES NOT THE FEW BUT THE MANY!
VERSES 24, 25. THERE WILL BE HEAVENLY SIGNS IN THE SUN, MOON, IN THE STARS; THE SUN DARKENED, THE MOON NOT GIVING HER LIGHT; THE STARS FALLING, THE POWERS OF HEAVEN SHAKEN.
NOTICE WHEN...... VERSE 24...... AFTER THAT TRIBULATION. NOTHING COULD BE CLEARER. THE BIBLE IS SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU WILL READ IT AS A CHILD. I WAS READING THESE VERSES AS A CHILD OF 12, 13, 14 ETC. AND IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
YOU HAVE A PERSECUTION OF TRUE SAINTS, A TIME OF TROUBLE AS LIKE NEVER IN ALL OF EARTH'S HISTORY. AFTER THAT TRIBULATION YOU HAVE HEAVENLY SIGNS, UNMISTAKABLE IN SCOPE, MIGHT, AND POWER. NO WORDS ABOUT SAINTS LEAVING THIS EARTH TO GO TO HEAVEN; IT IS JUST NOT THERE!
THEN NOTICE IT....VERSE 26!!!
"AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY!!!"
IT IS A VISIBLE RETURN OF CHRIST; IT IS THE ONE AND ONLY ONE RETURN OF CHRIST; NO TWO-FOLD RETURN; NO ONE COMING IN SECRET AT ANY SECOND AND ANOTHER ONE LATER THAT IS VISIBLE. IT IS ONE RETURN OF CHRIST ONLY, TO BE SEEN, IN POWER AND GLORY !!!
IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND! I UNDERSTOOD IT AT AGE 14, 15 ETC. WHEN READING WHAT JESUS TAUGHT.
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
VERSE 27 - THE ANGELS ARE SENT TO GATHER THE ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH AND HEAVEN!!!
IT IS THE TIME OF THE RESURRECTION FOR ALL SAINTS OF ALL AGES. ONE RESURRECTION TO ETERNAL LIFE [1 COR. 15; 1 THES. 4: 13-18] TO MEET JESUS IN THE AIR, THE CLOUDS, AND ON THAT DAY, TO COME WITH HIM TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES--- ZECHARIAH 14.
HOW SIMPLE IS GOD'S WORD! IT IS A ONE, TWO, THREE, TEACHING. EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND.
JESUS GOES ON TO SAY THESE ARE THE SIGNS TO WATCH FOR, WHEN PROPHECY WILL COME UPON JERUSALEM; WHEN SAINTS WILL BE PERSECUTED; THEN A TIME OF AFFLICTION WILL COME THAT HAS NEVER BEEN THE LIKE BEFORE, AND NEVER WILL BE AGAIN; WHEN AFTER THAT, THERE WILL BE HEAVENLY SIGNS EASY TO SEE. AND THEN AFTER ALL THAT JESUS WILL RETURN, TO BE SEEN. THEN THE GATHERING OF THE ELECT.
WHEN YOU SEE THESE ONE, TWO, THREE, SIGNS, KNOW THAT JESUS' COMING IS NIGH, EVEN AT THE DOOR.
JESUS FINISHED BY SAYING, NO ONE, NOT THE ANGELS, NOT EVEN CHRIST, BUT ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS THE VERY DAY OF CHRIST'S RETURN.
WE ARE TO BE READY, BE WATCHING, LOOKING FOR THE SIGNS.
AT THE PRESENT WE ARE NO FURTHER ALONG IN THIS PROPHECY THAN VERSE 8.
NOW, YOU MAY LIKE TO ALSO READ MATTHEW'S ACCOUNT [CHAPTER 24] AND LUKE'S ACCOUNT [CHAPTER 21] OF THIS SAME PROPHECY.
OTHER BOOKS IN THE BIBLE EXPAND, AMPLIFY, GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT END TIME PROPHECY; BUT MATTHEW 24, MARK 13, LUKE 21, GIVE IT ALL IN SIMPLE OUTLINE FORM, SO EVEN A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND.
AND JESUS SAID UNLESS YOU BECOME AS A CHILD [IN BIBLE READING AND FAITH] YOU CAN NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. FORGET ABOUT THE PhD PEOPLE OF THEOLOGY, THEY ARE IN THE MAIN BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND.
BE A CHILD IN MIND ATTITUDE, AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE SINGS OF THE END TIMES, AND THE GLORIOUS COMING OF CHRIST JESUS TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH.
