THE END OF THIS AGE, WHEN?

Regarding when this age will end, Jesus has given us very important signs.

1. It will be like the days of Noah, as we can observe that violence is increasing exponentially. One in four people is affected by war and violence now.

2. It will be as Sodom and Gomorrah: All over the world we see an exponential increase of child pornography, child trade for sex, homosexual acceptance and protection by laws in many countries. Same sex marriages, Men wanting to become women, act like women, and Women wanting to be men, act like men.

What are we to look for in the near future:

1. A peace treaty between the Muslim nations that surround Israel and Israel. That treaty is called a covenant of death by Isaiah 28:18.

2. When that treaty is signed, there will be 7 years until the end of this age, unless Jesus cuts the time short to save the elect.

3. 31/2 years after that treaty is signed, the leader of the Beast power will break the 7-year treaty and the abomination of desolation [Matthew 24:15-16], will stand in the holy place, at which time Jesus says the Israelites should flee to the mountains. This is the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

4. A remnant of Israelites will remain in Jerusalem, and they will be protected from the beast power by the two witnesses that God will send to protect them during the Great Tribulation.

Note: The power of these two witnesses: Revelation 11:3-6: I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. They have the power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have the power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

So, the Beast Power cannot harm the remnant of Israel that remains in Jerusalem during the 31/2 year Great Tribulation.

Note: The Israelites who fled to the mountains will end up at Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia. There, they will be protected by angels, fed, and have clean water to drink.

When the lord Messiah Jesus is sent down by His Father to take his seat on the throne of David, he will come down from heaven to the clouds.

His Parousia will be witnessed by people all over the world by the heavenly signs that will occur at that time.

At that time, all the members of the New Humanity, those who are “new creations” in the lord Messiah Jesus-Yeshua will rise to meet him in the clouds and then return to the earth, with all the risen glorified immortal men and women, his brothers and sisters, to Mount Sinai and join the remnant of the Israelites who have been there for 31/2 years.

At that time, Jesus will organize the Theocratic Government that he will use to govern the nations that enter into his 1,000-year rule, with members of his body co-ruling with him over the nations.

After that has been done, the lord Messiah Jesus will lead the physical remnant of the Israelites and the glorified, immortal saints from Mount Sinai to Jerusalem, destroying any armies that try to stop him. When he arrives at the east Gate, he will be met by the remnant of the Israelites who have been in Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation.

At that time, they will recognize him as their Messiah and go into a period of 3 days of mourning, for the fact that their ancestors and they had rejected him as their Messiah for 2,000 years.

Note: Look at Zechariah 12:9-14:

It will happen on that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. “And in that day, there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddo. The land will mourn, every family apart, the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart; all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.”

HOW IS SATAN THE GOD OF THIS WORLD?

Satan is the god of this world because when Adam sinned, he forfeited his position of God-given rulership over this world. God- Yehovah does not get rid of a ruler until there is someone to replace him/her.  God- Yehovah, true to His form, will allow Satan to hold on to this position until someone qualifies to replace him as the ruler of this world. The lord Messiah Jesus- Yeshua qualified to replace Satan when he offered himself up to his God and Father Yehovah as a sin-offering sacrifice, allowing God- Yehovah to reconcile [bring back] humanity to Himself. So, the second man, the last Adam, Jesus returns to this earth to take his place on the throne of David at Jerusalem with all of his holy ones - glorified, immortal saints!

The first thing he will do is have one of his angels bind Satan and cast him into a pit where he can deceive the nation no more.

Unfortunately, at the end of the 1,000-year rule, Satan will be loosed to deceive the nation to rebel against God and His vice-regent, Jesus- Yeshua. This will be done to show that human beings, even during the 1,000-year reign, will retain the Adam nature humanity received after Adam sinned against God.

However, that rebellion will be put down immediately, and Satan and his angels will be cast into the lake of fire and destroyed. Yes, I said destroyed. Whatever God has created, He can destroy, and Satan is a created being.

After all this comes the White Throne Judgement, and beyond a completely new order of things to take place in the ages to come.

What a glorious future we have to become immortal men and women co-inheriting and co-ruling with the lord Messiah Jesus in the coming new age!

May that day soon come!

A DECLARATION OF PRAISE TO JESUS THE MESSIAH

The Bible says he’s the Messiah of the Jews; he’s the Messiah of Israel; he’s the King of Righteousness.

He’s the King of the Ages, he’s the Messiah and lord in the Heavens, he’s the Messiah of Glory, he is coming to the earth to become the King of Kings, and he is the Lord of Lords, when he takes his place on the Throne of David at the beginning of his 1,000-year rule..

Now that’s my King! Do you know him? No means of measure can define his limitless love.

He’s enduringly strong, he’s entirely sincere, he’s steadfast, he’s graceful, he’s powerful, he’s impartially merciful.

Do you know him? He is Jesus-Yeshua, the Son of God-Yehovah. He’s a sinner’s Savior, he’s the centerpiece of God's Plan, he’s unparalleled, he’s unprecedented, he is the loftiest idea in literature, he’s the strongest personality in philosophy, he’s the fundamental teaching of true theology.

Do you know him? He supplies strength for the weak, he’s available for those who are tempted and the tried, he sympathizes and he saves, he heals the sick, he cleansed the lepers, he forgives sinners, he discharges debtors, he delivers the captives, he defends the feeble, he blesses the young, he serves the unfortunate, he regards the aged, he rewards the diligent, And he beautifies the meek, telling them they will inherit the earth.

Do you know him? My king is the key to knowledge, he’s the wellspring of wisdom, he’s the doorway of deliverance, he’s the pathway of peace, he’s the roadway of righteousness, he’s the highway of holiness, he’s the gateway of glory when he preached the good news of the Kingdom [kingship] of God- Yehovah.

Do you know him? His life is matchless, his goodness is limitless, his mercy is everlasting, his love never changes, his word is enough, his grace is sufficient, his reign is righteous, his yoke is easy, and his burden is light.

Well, I wish I could describe him to you, but he’s indescribable, he’s incomprehensible, he’s invincible, he’s irresistible, you can’t get him out of your mind, you can’t get him off of your hand, you can’t outlive him, and you can’t live without him.

Well, the Pharisees couldn’t stand him, but they found out they couldn’t stop him.

Pilate couldn’t find any fault in him. Herod couldn’t kill him, Death couldn’t handle him, and the grave couldn’t hold him.

That’s my Messiah, my king: I’m talking about the fact that he had no predecessor and he’ll have no successor.

You can’t impeach him, and he’s not going to resign. That’s my king!

Note: In Matthew 28:18, Jesus-Yeshua declares: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me," confirming his mission and power come directly from God. Matthew 11:27: All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom[a] the Son wants to reveal Him. John 7:16: "My teaching is not my own; it comes from the one who sent me". John16:15: Everything that the Father has is mine. For this reason, I said that he takes from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.

Note: The Bible declares why Jesus- Yeshua is unique in so many ways - the perfect reflection of his God and his Father, and the special place he holds in God-Yehovah's heart and purposes for the world. He is the ideal example of how we are meant to live and what we are destined to become. By God’s- Yehovah's Spirit, Jesus- Yeshua was divinely chosen, conceived, and commissioned; divinely anointed and appointed, authorized and authenticated, empowered and endowed, infused and inspired. He was totally surrendered and submissive to his God and his Father so that he could fully represent and reflect his God and his Father's heart, character, and purposes, His will, and His word. Therefore, God- Yehovah has glorified him above all, giving him a name above every name (Philippians 2:9-11), conferring on him a kingdom (Luke 22:29) and everlasting glory forever and ever (Revelation 5:11-14). Through faith in Jesus- Yeshua the Messiah, his God and his Father can be our God and Father, too (John 20:17, 31), and in him we are positioned and destined to enter into his inheritance, his future and fullness (Romans 8:16-17).
