“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

“But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:1-13). (All scripture KJV)

Folks, it’s all converging:

• increasingly more devastating earthquake activity
• unprecedented and escalating volcanic eruptions
• abnormal weather patterns, global drought
• worldwide famine
• more virulent pandemics of both known and unknown diseases
• round the clock total surveillance of every person on earth
• Orwellian tracking of every individual
• loss of all personal freedoms, personal property, and all civil liberties
• increased violence, breakdown of law and order
• corruption of all justice, greater ethnic uprisings
• so-called “alien” disclosure and “contact”
• even nuclear conflict

It’s all coming, and it’s all converging right now in real time. The next prophetic event to occur will be the sudden snatching away of the Remnant Church “when the impossible to believe becomes impossible to ignore.”

We must keep sounding the alarm. We must keep warning everyone we can, whether they heed our warnings or not, that they’d better wake up and come to a belief in Jesus Christ alone for salvation right now because Jesus is about to step out into the atmospheric heavens and shout for His bride to “Come up hither!” The Remnant Church is about to go extraterrestrial, and the very denizens of Hell are coming to earth. The Tribulation is almost upon the “earth dwellers.” God help them then.

I’m going to keep posting this until Jesus comes to get us. Folks, if you can’t see by now with everything that is going on just how close we are to the rapture of the Remnant Church and to the horrors of the coming Tribulation, then I don’t know what it will take to wake some of you up. You can’t save yourself or keep yourself saved by any effort of your own.

If you are following a false teacher who preaches a false gospel that is anything other than the gospel according to the scriptures given below, then you are lost and will find yourself in Hell unless you believe in the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

Time is so very quickly running out. I don’t know what else to say or do to bring the truth of this home to you. Here is the inconvenient, unadorned, rock-bottom, inescapable truth: if you die in your sins apart from salvation in Jesus Christ alone and in His finished, paid-in-full death, burial, and bodily resurrection, which is the only gospel that can save anyone, then you will go to an eternal Hell and ultimately in the Lake of Fire where your conscious, sentient, immortal soul will exist forever in everlasting and undiminishing torment.

When Jesus comes to call His Church home to Glory, if you are trusting in your own good deeds or your own self-righteous merits, in some church institution, or in some man or woman, if you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus plus anything else instead of placing your faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone and what He has already done, then you are lost, and you will be left behind to face the most dreadful time humanity will have ever known.

What we are witnessing now will look like a scrap in a kindergarten play yard compared to what is coming. Please, I beg you, admit now that you are a sinner in need of a Savior and that you can do nothing to make yourself right with a holy God by your own efforts or merits, and believe in Jesus Christ alone according to the scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Do it now, I implore you. Our time to warn you is almost up. Once again, let me give you the gospel.

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES

(1) WHO NEEDS A SAVIOR? EVERYONE! YOU DO!

Why? Because we are all justly condemned sinners in need of a perfect and sinless Savior:

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die [eternally]. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him” (Ezekiel 18:20).

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10).

“For the wages, [penalty] of sin is [eternal] death [in the everlasting Lake of Fire]; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

“He that believeth on Him [Christ] is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already” (John 3:18).

You must understand that you and I, all of humanity, are justly condemned sinners; that we can do nothing to remedy that! You cannot “be” good enough, “do” good enough, or become good enough; nor can you “turn over a new chapter and try again.” None of that is good enough because our own self-righteous works [our own attempts to try to be or to act holy; to try to live a life pleasing before God by our own efforts] are viewed by God as being equivalent to “filthy rags” in the sight of God’s infinite holiness, righteousness and justice.

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” (Isaiah 64:6).

“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:20-24).

“For by grace [the unmerited favor of God] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works [our own efforts or merits] lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

“But without faith [sincere belief and trust in Jesus Christ alone] it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He [Jesus Christ] is [God come in human flesh] and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

“And He [Christ] is the propitiation [appeasing – reconciliation by blood – the turning away of wrath by an offering that satisfies the wrath and justice demanded by a holy righteous God] for our sins, and not for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 1:2).

We must first come to terms with the fact that we are all justly condemned sinners who need a sinless and righteous Savior who is both willing and able [qualified] to pay the infinite penalty [the wages] of the debt of sin under which each living soul is conceived and condemned guilty.

We are not sinners because we commit sins; we commit sins because we are sinners. Sin is intrinsic within our very nature.

(2) WHO CAN BE SAVED?

WHOSOEVER IS WILLING TO COME TO CHRIST BY FAITH!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

“… Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst [spiritual thirst for salvation], let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water [eternal salvation]” (John 7:37-38).

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32).

(3) HOW CAN ONE BE SAVED? – That which MUST BE BELIEVED FOR ONE TO BE SAVED:

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which ye also have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved …. For I delivered unto you that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4).

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish [eternally] but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

(3) HOW DO WE COME TO CHRIST? – ALL ARE DRAWN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, BUT ALL HAVE A CHOICE TO BELIEVE OR REJECT GOD’S FREE OFFER OF SALVATION

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him…” (John 6:44).

“Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).

(4) WHEN SHOULD I GET SAVED? – IMMEDIATELY! RIGHT NOW

“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation)” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

“For it is appointed unto man once to die; but after this, the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

People, we do not know how long our lives may last. Life is uncertain, but death is sure, and should you die in your sins before you come to Christ in belief for salvation, then it will be for you eternally too late.

(5) CAN I EVER LOSE MY SALVATION ONCE I BECOME SAVED?

NO!!! – not during this Dispensation of Grace – the Church Age. In the Dispensation of Grace – the Church Age, in which we are now living before the rapture occurs, once anyone accepts by faith the gospel, he/she is sealed within by the Holy Spirit of God eternally. **Note that this sealing within each believer is unique to this dispensation. The Church Age, along with the sealing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit inside each believer, will end with the rapture of the Church, which ends this Dispensation of Grace.**

“My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish [eternally], neither shall any man [including one’s own self] pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them to Me is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29).

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish [eternally] but have Everlasting [eternal] life” (John 3:16).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath [present-future tense] everlasting [eternal] life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is [current – future] passed from [eternal] death unto [eternal] life” (John 5:24).

“Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:22).

“These things I have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1John 5:13).

“For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8).

“Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it: until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God whereby you [each and every believer] are sealed unto the Day of Redemption.” – [this “day of redemption” being the resurrection/rapture of the Church when our bodies are redeemed] (Ephesians 4:30; Romans 8:23).

Please, I implore you; if you are lost or if you are uncertain of your salvation, make your calling and election sure! Call upon Jesus to save you. (1) Admit or acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. (2) Believe – that is, place your faith and trust in the finished work of Christ – in His atoning death on the cross, His burial and His bodily resurrection according to the scriptures. (3) Call upon Him to save you and to redeem you for His kingdom.

He stands ready, willing, and able to save all who will choose to come to Him by faith. Please, do it now – this very minute – before it is eternally too late. Our time of warning to you is quickly running out.

“And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: and I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee….

“Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, to take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

“Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: and thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

“Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

“And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 38:1-6, 9-23, KJV).

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6, KJV).

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:2-5, KJV).

Gog is on the move. For those who know and understand Bible prophecy, you know exactly who “Gog” is and what this statement means. For those of you who don’t, you’d better find out – quickly.

With the decision by Russia’s Vladimir Putin to take Ukraine in a massive invasion while daring the rest of the world to interfere – even having the audacity to threaten any country who threatens to hinder him and his plans with a nuclear response – with this cold and calculated move by Russia, the world has just taken another giant step towards the Tribulation. Earth’s final seven years lie just over the near horizon.

The entire world has been in perilous times for decades, but the global situation we are now in has just taken a terrifying leap forward towards what will soon morph into the Tribulation. The next prophetic event to rock this world will be the sudden massive disappearance of the Remnant Church from every nation on earth. That will be the very next event that will occur because scripture is clear; the Church must be removed from earth, be robed, crowned, and in Heaven seated around the throne of God BEFORE the Lord Jesus breaks the first seal-the action that BEGINS earth’s final seven years – the TRIBULATION. (For reference and chronology, see Revelation chapters 4-6).

In these darkening days, while we pray for our own nation and for the people of Ukraine and Russia, let’s also be reminded to lift in prayer the people of China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, as well as both the lost and saved in these places, in Iran and Israel too and around the world.

Tiny Israel teeters on the cusp of what will be the darkest time in her history. As events continue to unfold, soon the entire world will refuse to come to Israel’s aid when Russia, Turkey, Iran et al, the very coalition of nations prophesied nearly three millennia ago in the book of Ezekiel, will swoop down from the north like a giant bird of prey upon hapless abandoned little Israel with sudden swiftness in an overwhelming show of force that will stun the world. Nevertheless, at that time, Israel’s God Himself will rise in divine fury to defend and deliver Zion (reference Isaiah 17:1 and Ezekiel 38-39).

Russia’s audacious invasion of Ukraine means China will certainly be emboldened to do the same thing in Taiwan. In fact, China’s Communist leader Xi Jinping is, at this moment, amping up China’s rhetoric towards this very scenario. China is watching Russia closely, salivating after Taiwan. North Korea continues eyeing South Korea; and Russia, Iran, Turkey, et al (the leaders of the Ezekiel 38-39 coalition) are all converging with their collective eye on Israel to (in their minds) finish once and for all what Hitler began. They, too, are salivating for the “final solution” to the “Jewish problem” and the destruction of the hated nation of Israel that has been a continuous thorn in their side.

Putin, as Russia’s Supreme Leader (and most likely Gog of Ezekiel 38-39), will only be emboldened by his overwhelming show of force in invading Ukraine, although Putin is finding out that the Ukrainian people aren’t going to just roll over without a fight.

This move by Russia will only harden Russia’s (and all of the Ezekiel coalition’s) resolve towards their ultimate goal: the complete destruction of Israel and the plunder of her immense wealth in oil and natural resources – just as God foretold they would. What they have really done is sign and certify their own death warrants. They, the Ezekiel 38-39 conspirators (Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, et al), all have an inescapable appointment with God on the mountains of Israel. They’ve just taken the first step towards their own inevitable destruction. Israel will survive. Her God will defend her.

These are indeed dark and perilous times we are in. As the world hurls itself full force towards the rapidly approaching hour of the Tribulation, what are we as believers to do? Should we take up arms and revolt? Should we become preppers and spend all our money on food and supplies to last for years and years? Should we take to the streets in protest? At some point, perhaps some portion of these actions may be called for on a limited scale except for spending all our money buying and storing food for years and years. However, for the most part, no. What we need to be doing is to go back to the scriptures for the answer of HOW we are to “occupy until He comes.”

Conditions in our own country of America, in Canada, Australia, the UK, indeed the current conditions in every nation on earth are exactly and precisely the conditions the prophetic scriptures said they would be during these last days. Jesus told us these things MUST happen. The Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul reiterated this in 2 Timothy. He told us EXACTLY what conditions would be like in the final seconds of the final days of the Church Age. He gave precise details of what these “perilous times” would be like.

Read the books of 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Titus, Jude, and 1 & 2 Corinthians. Read the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Revelation. It’s ALL been laid out for us. From Eden to the Golan to Patmos to Bozrah to the Valley of Jezreel – Armageddon, God has laid out His plan giving us the end from the beginning. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s plan has been explained and set forth. It’s all there laid out in stunning detail – the end from the beginning.

The current global “leadership” – and I use that term only in the sense that those who hold these power positions wield the reins of power, not in the sense that they themselves actually hold that power – they only have the ILLUSION of power and control. It is God Almighty who is the great Divine Maestro directing the symphony of His great Plan For the Ages. The leaders of this world system and their actions are being orchestrated by Satan and his minions. Yet even Satan, along with his fellow insurrectionists in all their diabolical machinations, are themselves fulfilling GOD’S ultimate plan and purpose). The elite globalist powers that be are all merely pawns. They are nothing more than Satan’s puppets, just as Satan himself is an already defeated foe destined for eternal failure and torment in the Lake of Fire.

The end has already been decreed. Ultimately, these global elitists are all either wittingly or unwittingly following an already foretold script, playing their roles right into the very end-time events with the preordained conclusion that the God who “knows the end from the beginning” has already foretold will happen, all according to His plan.

“Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it” (Isaiah 46:8-11, KJV).

Each global leader is exactly who and where God has placed them to be for such a time as this.

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: he revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him” (Daniel 2:20-22, KJV).

Our mandate as God’s ambassadors during these final seconds of the final minutes of this current dispensation is to continue constantly in prayer interceding before the throne of grace on behalf of the lost, to stand in the gap for our fellow brethren in every nation on earth. Our efforts during this time should be centered around three things: (1) Reading and studying the scriptures like never before so that we, like the sons of Issachar, are aware and understand the times God has placed us in. (2) Share the gospel and warn the lost in every way possible, and (3) Patiently, persistently, and faithfully watch and wait for our Lord’s return.

Our continual earnest prayer should be that the lost in every nation will realize their eternal peril and the lateness of the hour now. Our mandate is to proclaim far and wide the gospel of salvation in every forum and in the situation we are given while soberly warning them of what is to come so that as many as are willing may come to salvation now before we are removed from this earth and they are left behind to face the darkest seven years in all of human history.

The prophetic timeline has reached the very end of the Church Age. We are living in the closing seconds of the parenthetical Dispensation of Grace – the last few minutes and seconds of the Church Age. This dispensation will end as miraculously as it began. The Church was born, and the Church Age was begun supernaturally at Pentecost. It will end supernaturally as well with the sudden, instantaneous Harpazo – the “snatching away” of the Remnant Church, the rapture. That unprecedented and always imminent event will happen quickly without any prior warning. It can and will happen at any moment.

Conditions here at home and abroad aren’t going to improve. They will continue to deteriorate. This declination will hasten the closer we get to the rapture and the ensuing Tribulation. Jesus told us these things MUST happen; so we know the escalation of wars, threats of war, violence, hatred, injustice, lies, Satanic deceit, bloodshed, insurrection, and demonic insanity will continue to progress because these things MUST happen. Still as degenerate as things are now and as horrific as things will get after our departure, never forget that for all believers in Jesus Christ, we who have believed in Him and placed our faith and trust in Him alone, for all of us who are the Remnant Church, our blessed hope is secure and assured.

We will soon be departing for our real home. Until then, keep on keeping on as faithful soldiers of the cross, and rest in the promise our Lord made to His beloved bride that We, His body/bride, the Remnant Church, are “not destined to wrath” but to be rescued from God’s fearful coming judgment upon this sin-loving, God-hating, Christ-rejecting world (1 Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 3:10). Rest in that promise of rescue, and hold tight to the nail-scarred hands of our Deliverer.

MARANATHA!
