(The views expressed in this article are my personal interpretations of the Bible, particularly concerning biblical prophecy and the end times. They have come to me through endless study of the scriptures, as well as frequent prayerful searching for TRUTH. They are offered for discussion, study, and personal reflection. I do not claim special revelation, nor do I speak on behalf of any church, denomination, religious organization, or its leaders. Readers are encouraged to study the Scriptures for themselves, seek God’s guidance through prayer, and draw their own conclusions.)
The majority of “Christians” know that we are currently in the end times. We know that the return of Jesus Christ will soon come to pass. But what I’d like to share with you today is a fulfilling prophecy that is becoming very effective in flushing out the deceptions from satan.
Many of you are fimilure with this scripture.
Amos 3:7 KJV
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.“
God has told us that before He brings major acts of judgment upon the earth and its people, He faithfully warns His people through His prophets.
The final 7 years on earth, the Tribulation Period, is about to begin, and God is about to send His judgments to the earth, and it’s going to be brutal. But just as God has promised, He revealed His plan to His servants, HIS PROPHETS prior to Him doing so. He has already done this thousands of years ago.
Some are waiting for Him to do so right now, yet they do not realize that He has already revealed the details of His coming judgment upon the earth, through HIS PROPHETS, as recorded below.
- Isaiah – (Isaiah 2, 11, 13, 24–27, 65–66).
- Jeremiah – (Jeremiah 30–33).
- Ezekiel – (Ezekiel 38–39), (Ezekiel 40–48),
- Daniel – (Daniel 9), (Daniel 2, 7, 8, 9, 11–12).
- Joel – (Joel 2–3).
- Zechariah – (Zechariah 12–14).
- Micah – (Micah 4–5).
- Zephaniah – (Zephaniah 1–3).
- Malachi – (Malachi 4).
In the New Testament, God continued to reveal end-times prophecy through:
- Jesus Christ – (Matthew 24–25, Mark 13, Luke 21).
- Paul – (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18), (2 Thessalonians 2), (1 Corinthians 15),
- Peter – (2 Peter 3).
- John – (Revelation 1–22).
Can you realize what I am teaching? It has already happened! And these end-times prophecies are recorded, making up about one third of the Bible… yet people do not realize the significance, nor the availability that they already have to these end times prophecies.
Sadly, there is an entire church filled with people who have been deceived and are waiting for what I believe is a false prophet, to share his revelations from God regarding the end times. THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, as these prophecies have already been revealed, and recorded in the bible. As they can see for themselves, this false prophet is not even sharing the prophecies from God regarding the end times that have already happened. If you might be wondering why, let me scream it from the housetops, “BECAUSE, I BELIEVE, YOU ARE BEING DECEIVED!!!!!!!”
God has already given us this warning, but perhaps they are too blind to see it:
Matthew 24:24 (KJV)
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.“
There are churches filled with the VERY ELECT, that I believe are being deceived by a false prophet, right now!
These prophecies from God have been ignored by many religious leaders, and seem to have all but disappeared from main stream society. God knew this would occur, so His plan included this. Let me share it with you:
Acts 2:17–18 (KJV)
17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”
His plan includes unexpected people that will be shedding light onto these details of the end times prophecies from God to His prophets.
As you scroll through social media, there are so many, especially young people, sharing such dreams, also declaring the prophecies that are recorded in the bible, regarding the end times.
They too have received the spirit of truth that God is pouring out onto the inhabitants of the earth. The religious world is being led by the word of God, through all of these people who are “tuned in” to the details of what is going to happen. Through recorded end times prophecy, rather than someone who is declaring that he is a prophet of God. This is so intriguing to consider.
And now, these end times prophecies and teachings are being shared by:
Your sons and daughters
Young and old men
Servants and handmaidens
Just as mentioned in the scripture.
So, how are we to treat these prophecies and dreams from these people mentioned in Acts 2:17-18?
These prophecies from the young and old do not replace or contradict the end-times revelations already given through God’s prophets; rather, they exist alongside them.
The outpouring of the Spirit described in Acts speaks of God continuing to work among His people through dreams, visions, and prophetic witness, but these experiences are never presented as changing the Gospel or adding new doctrine.
Instead, every spiritual experience must agree with the revelation God has already given in Scripture.
As Paul warned,
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:8, KJV
Believers are commanded to “prove all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV) and “try the spirits whether they are of God” (1 John 4:1, KJV).
Thus, the written Word remains the final authority by which every dream, vision, and prophecy is tested.
I find this entire concept fascinating. Satan has shut down the flow of people receiving God’s prophecies of the end times recorded in the Bible, by deceiving likely religious leaders NOT to teach about that which already has been recorded. Since many “religious” people are looking for “religious” leaders to walk them through the end times. Since these leaders choose to remain quiet, their entire congregation is in the dark, as exist currently in SPIRITUAL DANGER.
But God had another plan. He would use “HIS PEOPLE” to teach these end times prophecies, in place of “False Prophets” and expected religious leaders.
Because of their dreams and visions, they are enthusiastic in sharing what they have experienced. They no longer are just words in a book, but bring personal experience and witness of what these prophets foretold. Additional testimony of what will come. Nothing Different, but genuine prophecy lived and witnessed. AMAZING!!
So many of these people are able to tie in current world events to match these prophecies. Because of God’s Spirit, they have the TRUTH of what is happening right now in relation to those prophetic teachings of God which have been recorded. They are showing how the prophecies of the end times are playing out right before our eyes with current world events.
They are testifying of those prophecies! They are bringing them to light again, after the adversary has buried them from the very people who need to know them.
I am consistently reminded of the brilliance of God’s plans. He knows the deceptive power of the adversary, and He already knows what satan will do in these end times. His plan deals with this deception, yet there is also something very important with all of God’s plans…Please take note of this.
God’s plans are never forced upon anyone. He does not say that He will make sure that His followers KNOW all of His plans.
God’s plans are only discovered, and known, by people who are Teachable, Humble, and are constantly wanting to know His will. If you think that you already know everything related to His gospel, and the end times, you will not come to know the truth, I PROMISE.
I have witnessed this first-hand over the past 4 years of trying to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I can present details of the gospel from PROPHETS of God, and even Jesus Christ Himself to others, yet those teachings are blown off, because people think that they already know the truth.
People tell me that they are just fine in following a leader who they think is a prophet of God, yet when I ask what their plan is to ensure that they do not take the mark of the beast and loose their very soul, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM EVEN TALKING ABOUT! Heads up…this guy, weather it be intentional, or under satan’s influence, is not a good spiritual anchor for you. You need to shift that responsibility directly towards God, and not man…regardless of his earthly title.
It is quite obvious to me, that they are following a religious leader who does not care about them spiritually. If he did, he would be teaching every single detail relating to end times prophecy, recorded in the bible. And the horrifying part, I feel, is that they have no idea whose influence this false leader is under, and the danger that they are in.
So, for those who are currently in the nets of deception of a false prophet, let me share what will soon happen to YOU, as taught by true prophets:
We are about to enter the seven-year Tribulation Period; The seven-year Tribulation is not merely a time of world turmoil—it is the most severe period of judgment the earth will ever experience.
Jesus warned that “then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21, KJV).
Jesus is not simply returning to the earth, and then it’s “Game Over.” There are at least 7 years left for all of the details of God’s plan to come to pass before the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The seven-year Tribulation is God’s appointed time to bring righteous judgment upon a world that has rejected Him; to defeat evil once and for all; and to prepare the earth for the return of Jesus Christ. During this period, God will judge sin, overthrow the kingdoms of this world, and ultimately destroy the Antichrist and his followers (Revelation 19, KJV).
During this time, God is giving humanity one last chance to come to Christ. The Gospel will continue to be proclaimed and multitudes will come to faith in Christ (Revelation 7:9–14, KJV), through the efforts of the Two Prophets, likely Elijah and Moses, as well as the 144,000 missionaries. The Tribulation therefore reveals both God’s perfect justice against evil and His great love in continuing to offer salvation to all who will turn to Him before Christ returns
A person must know that God intends to use HARDSHIP in humbling these people to come to Christ. He will be pouring out “Bowls of Wrath” to ALL inhabitants of the earth, (Revelation 16, KJV).
And now, the greatest end-times revelation that many are also unaware of. A teaching that would take tremendous stress and worry from all of you if you only knew it to be true.
Many of you know the story of Noah in the bible, as well as the experience shared of the Israelites fleeing certain death from the soldiers chasing them down. Both of these Biblica events have one thing is common: A God who would oversee them, and “RESCUE” them from what was coming.
With Noah, God was preparing to “Judge the earth”, just like He is doing now. There are sever consequences for those who choose not to listen, as well as…A RESCUE PLAN that God has, for those who are listening to His words.
Let me teach you this plan, as recorded in the bible.
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This teaching is NOT the second coming of Christ that “concludes the existence of mankind” upon the earth, but it is the glorious return that “His Children” have been waiting for.
As taught in this scripture, Jesus will descend from heaven, not ever touching the ground, but remain in the air, and call those who are “in Christ” to meet Him in the air.
He will first call those who have died and are “in Christ.” It is at this moment that their bodies will be resurrected, so that they can exist with Jesus where He dwells. This is the start of the First Resurrection.
Then, those of us left upon the earth who are “in Christ” will be called up to meet Him in the air. And the easily overlooked detail of this scripture… It states that “..So shall the EVER be with the Lord.” From that point on, wherever Jesus dwells, so will these people be.
Yes, Jesus will dwell in heave, are you making this connection?
So, with those who are alive, and “Caught up” to meet Christ, their bodies are not resurrected because they have not died yet. What happens to them specific to this. How can their bodies exist with Jesus Christ in the air? Let’s return to the scriptures for more details.
Instead of being “resurrected,” they are instantaneously transformed into glorified, immortal bodies.
Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 15:
1 Corinthians 15:51–53 (KJV)
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump… the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
Notice the distinction:
- The dead in Christ are raised (resurrected).
- Those who are alive are changed.
Paul also writes:
Philippians 3:20–21 (KJV)
“For our conversation is in heaven… Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body…”
This means that living believers receive glorified bodies like Christ’s resurrection body without first experiencing death.
Do you recall this conversation that Jesus had with His apostles?
John 14:2-4 (KJV)
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Jesus is talking to them about the “Rapture:” being caught up to meet Him in the air… and receive us unto Him, just as the scripture states. He wasn’t just talking about the apostles; he was talking about all who are “in Christ”
The seven-year tribulation period is NOT for those who are “in Christ.” So, God’s plan is to rescue them from the earth before this 7-year judgment even begins. This is his Rescue of the end times to those who are listening. This is our “Ark,” this is our “Parting of the Red Sea.” Why would a “church leader” NOT be teaching such a glorious part of God end times plan? To me, the answer is obvious…
The initial scripture of the “rapture” indicates that Jesus is coming for those who are “in Christ,” as stated. Let’s go back to the scriptures and see what “in Christ” actually means.
One of the most beautiful expressions in the New Testament is the phrase “in Christ.” It describes the new relationship that begins the moment a person places their faith in Jesus Christ and is born again.
To be “in Christ” means that God has united you with His Son. You are no longer standing before God in your own righteousness, but in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Because of His death and resurrection, your sins are forgiven, you are accepted by God, and you become one of His children. Here is that teaching:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new“ (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV).
To be “in Christ” also means that there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who belong to Him. The believer’s salvation rests not upon personal goodness or religious works, but upon the finished work of Jesus Christ.
As Paul wrote, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus“ (Romans 8:1, KJV). Through faith, the believer is justified before God and receives eternal life as a free gift of His grace.
THIS is a VERY important teaching, and distinction, that we all need to ensure that we understand, for MANY get this part wrong. Please invite God to join you as you ponder these teachings:
Salvation received through faith, not by our works.
- Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.“
- Titus 3:5–7 (KJV)
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
- Romans 4:4–5 (KJV)
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.“
- Romans 11:6 (KJV)
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”
- Galatians 2:16 (KJV)
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.“
Together, these passages consistently teach that salvation is God’s free gift, received by faith in Jesus Christ, and cannot be earned through religious works, good deeds, or obedience to the law. Good works are the result of salvation (Ephesians 2:10), but they are not the cause of salvation.
John 3:3 (KJV)
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
A person can only be Born Again when they place their entire faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ as all that is necessary for salvation, (living with Christ in heaven, forever).
From these passages, many Christians conclude that if a person is relying on church membership, temple ordinances, religious ceremonies, or good works as part of the basis for being accepted by God, they are placing confidence in something other than Christ’s finished work alone. The New Testament consistently presents salvation as a gift received by faith in Jesus Christ, with good works following as the fruit of a changed life rather than the means of earning eternal life.
At the same time, only God knows the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). We cannot infallibly determine the eternal destiny of any individual. A person may participate in religious practices while trusting solely in Christ for salvation, whereas another may rely on those practices as the basis of their acceptance before God. Scripture calls each person to examine where their trust truly rests.
However, there is a very sobering warning that God has given to “religious” people:
Matthew 7:21–23 (KJV)
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Notice that those people pointed to what they had done, while Jesus pointed to the absence of a true relationship with Him.
This promise of being “in Christ” belongs to all who are united to Christ through faith, not because they earned it, but because they belong to Him.
Being “in Christ” is not the same as belonging to a particular religion or church denomination. It is a personal relationship with the living Savior. Jesus said, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” (John 3:36, KJV), and “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37, KJV).
The moment a person comes to Christ in faith and is born again, God places that believer “in Christ,” and from that moment forward, every spiritual blessing, every promise of eternal life, and every hope of heaven is found in Him.
The phrase “in Christ” therefore describes one of the greatest blessings in all of Scripture. It means you have passed from death unto life, you have been reconciled to God, your sins have been washed away, and your eternal future is secure in Jesus Christ. This is why the New Testament continually points people away from trusting in themselves, or church, and toward trusting completely in Christ, for salvation is found not in what we have done, but in being “found in him” (Philippians 3:9, KJV).
Now, can you see why a religious leader who is deceptive, would not want to teach about the end times? I certainly can, for it exposes the very nature of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is through ONLY HIM that we receive salvation, and not through any church, temple or religion.
I have studied end times prophecy intensely over the past 4 years. I must tell you that it is MY BELIEF that the 7-year tribulation period will begin soon, and the Rapture will take place BEFORE this period begins. If you have young children, just know that they will be included in the rapture for certain, don’t you want to make sure that you will be joining them.
Right NOW… Place your entire faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and become Born Again as taught through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and recorded in the New Testament.
The moment a person is born again, he passes from spiritual death to spiritual life. This new birth is a spiritual rebirth brought about by the Holy Spirit, making the believer a new creation in Christ.
Immediately upon being born again, all of a person’s sins are forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14, KJV). God no longer counts the believer’s sins against him because Christ has paid the full penalty.
At that same moment, the believer receives eternal life. Jesus promised, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” (John 3:36, KJV), and “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24, KJV).
The Holy Ghost comes to dwell within the believer. Jesus promised that the Spirit “shall be in you” (John 14:17, KJV), and Paul wrote, “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you” (1 Corinthians 6:19, KJV).
The believer becomes a child of God and is placed into Christ. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26, KJV).
The new birth is therefore not merely a decision to become religious. It is an immediate work of God in which the sinner is forgiven, justified, given eternal life, indwelt by the Holy Ghost, made a child of God, and united with Jesus Christ forever. These blessings are received by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone, and they become the foundation of the believer’s new life with Him.
We are running out of time. Please take what you are learning today to God in prayer and follow His promptings, for He will tell you how you need to proceed. And, most IMPORTANTLY, Trust the LORD, and not man.
Psalm 118:8–9 (KJV)
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is my hope that you will find peace and comfort in knowing that we are soon to be RESCUED in such a dramatic and spiritual fashion. I hope that you’ll be there with us.
