History Made Again!
Dear Friends,
I am left nearly speechless as I contemplate the realities of the times, they are troubling. Earthquakes are taking place globally. We could not but notice Japan’s heartache as they were not only hit by earthquake but by tsunami also. The pictures and videos are devastating. But here is the strange reality; these are just the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8. click to see
These are the beginning of sorrows? The heart trembles at what the end will be. Let me speak plainly to you. We are in the 1st of phase of world changing events. The second phase will be of such a surprise that many will give up their faith in Christ. We will not talk too much of the second phase for now but will solidify the 1st phase that the truth of the second phase will sit deep within each mind.
Phase #1 – World in Chaos (developing into a state of abussos) Matthew 24:4-8/
Notice the following list:
ü Deception
ü Claiming to be “Christ”
ü Wars p>
ü Rumors of wars
ü Nation rise against Nation
ü Kingdom against Kingdom
ü Famines
ü Pestilence
ü Earthquakes in Diverse places
Someone may look at this list and think “these thing have been happening for centuries, there is no difference now.” I thought so too when I first began reading these passages of scriptures until I began to do the research. These events are happening more frequently and in the case of most, the disasters are more disastrous than ever. It seems that every year there is a disaster that is the worst ever or the worst in the past hundred years. Click to see The earth is “waxing old like a garment.” Isaiah 51:6
But what does this all mean. The quotations below will help us understand the meaning of these events. Notice the following:
Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hail-storms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people . . . do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” [Isaiah 24:4, 5.] {GC88 589.3}
As I hear of the terrible calamities that from week to week are taking place, I ask myself: What do these things mean? The most awful disasters are following one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of seemingly disorganized, unregulated forces, but in them God’s purpose may be read. They are one of the means by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger. {CCh 355.4}
The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God’s purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger.–Prophets and Kings, p. 277.
All these events are setting up a greater event to take plus with the people of God, which will look at more closely in our next post.
My Challenge:
Begin your on personal research into the natural disasters and the prophetic events to take place as mentioned in Matthew 24 and other places. Create your reference guide and begin to chronicle them and see how quickly they follow each other. Then ask yourself the question, “Is my faith real in Jesus?” I challenge you finally with that question because everything that is false is about to be exposed I pray that all those of profess Christianity will find refuge in Christ while there is time. While you hear His voice today do not hardened your heart. Enter into His rest today.
Your Brother in Christ,
Andre
