How Do We Know the End is Very Near? (World: Bible #Prophecy)

1) Christianity is the largest religion/faith in the world:
Matthew 24:14 KJV
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

2) Christianity is the most persecuted religion/faith in the world:
Matthew 24:9 KJV 
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

3) ...just read the entire chapter of Matthew 24 KJV...and you will end up with almost every line in that chapter as a bullet point. (YUP!)

More...verse 24: 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.

...25 Behold, I have told you before.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

2 Timothy 3:2 KJV
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

1 John 4 KJV (John, apostle/prophet): (I recommend you reading the whole epistle of 1 John...it will deeply change your perception of Bible prophecy and the word of God as a whole)

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

How Hard it is For Those Who Have Riches to Enter the Kingdom of God! (Luke 18:24)

Luke 18:24-30, & 19:1-10 NKJV | Reina-Valera (RVR1960) | (العربيّة) Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-AR)

With God All Things Are Possible

And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”

27 But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

28 Then Peter said, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Luke 19:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Comes to Zacchaeus’ House

Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. 7 But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”

8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”

9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Lucas 18:24-30 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

24 Al ver Jesús que se había entristecido mucho, dijo: !!Cuán difícilmente entrarán en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!

25 Porque es más fácil pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.

26 Y los que oyeron esto dijeron: ¿Quién, pues, podrá ser salvo?

27 Él les dijo: Lo que es imposible para los hombres, es posible para Dios.

28 Entonces Pedro dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado nuestras posesiones y te hemos seguido.

29 Y él les dijo: De cierto os digo, que no hay nadie que haya dejado casa, o padres, o hermanos, o mujer, o hijos, por el reino de Dios,

30 que no haya de recibir mucho más en este tiempo, y en el siglo venidero la vida eterna.

Lucas 19:1-10 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

Jesús y Zaqueo

19 Habiendo entrado Jesús en Jericó, iba pasando por la ciudad.

2 Y sucedió que un varón llamado Zaqueo, que era jefe de los publicanos, y rico,

3 procuraba ver quién era Jesús; pero no podía a causa de la multitud, pues era pequeño de estatura.

4 Y corriendo delante, subió a un árbol sicómoro para verle; porque había de pasar por allí.

5 Cuando Jesús llegó a aquel lugar, mirando hacia arriba, le vio, y le dijo: Zaqueo, date prisa, desciende, porque hoy es necesario que pose yo en tu casa.

6 Entonces él descendió aprisa, y le recibió gozoso.

7 Al ver esto, todos murmuraban, diciendo que había entrado a posar con un hombre pecador.

8 Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy a los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado a alguno, se lo devuelvo cuadruplicado.

9 Jesús le dijo: Hoy ha venido la salvación a esta casa; por cuanto él también es hijo de Abraham.

10 Porque el Hijo del Hombre vino a buscar y a salvar lo que se había perdido.

18:24-30 ﻟﻮﻗﺎ Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-AR)

24 فَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّهُ ذَهَبَ حَزِيناً قالَ: «ما أصعَبَ أنْ يَدخُلَ أصحابُ الأموالِ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ! 25 أنْ يَمُرَّ جَمَلٌ مِنْ ثُقبِ إبرَةٍ، أيسَرُ مِنْ أنْ يَدخُلَ غَنِيٌّ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.»

مَنْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَخلُص

26 فَلَمّا سَمِعَ النّاسُ هَذا قالُوا: «فَمَنْ يُمكِنُ أنْ يَخلُصَ إذاً؟»

27 قالَ يَسُوعُ: «ما هُوَ مُستَحِيلٌ عِندَ النّاسِ مُمكِنٌ عِندَ اللهِ.»

28 ثُمَّ قالَ بُطرُسُ: «ها نَحنُ قَدْ تَرَكنا كُلَّ ما كانَ لَنا لِكَيْ نَتبَعَكَ!»

29 فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، مَنْ تَرَكَ بَيتاً أوْ زَوجَةً أوْ إخْوَةً أوْ أبَوَيْنِ أوْ أبناءً مِنْ أجلِ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، 30 سَيُعَوَّضُ بِأضعافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ فِي هَذِهِ الحَياةِ. وَسَيَحيا فِي الحَياةِ الآتِيَةِ مَعَ اللهِ إلَى الأبَدِ.

19:1-10 ﻟﻮﻗﺎ Arabic Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-AR)

يَسُوعُ وَزَكّا

1 وَدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أرِيحا وَراحَ يَمشِي فِيها. 2 فَجاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ زَكّا، وهُوَ رَجُلٌ غَنيٌ مِنْ كِبارِ جامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ، 3 وَأرادَ أنْ يَرَى مَنْ يَكُونُ يَسُوعُ. لَكِنَّهُ عَجِزَ عَنْ رُؤيَتِهِ بِسَبَبِ الحَشدِ، لأنَّهُ قَصِيْرَ القامَةِ. 4 فَرَكَضَ وَسَبَقَ الجَمِيعَ، وَتَسَلَّقَ شَجَرَةَ جُمِّيْزٍ راجِياً أنْ يَرَى يَسُوعَ الَّذِي كانَ سَيَمُرُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ.

5 وَعِندَما وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى المَكانِ، رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا زَكّا، عَجِّلْ بِالنُّزُولِ، لِأنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ أمْكُثَ اليَومَ فِي بَيتِكَ.»

6 فَنَزَلَ بِسُرعَةٍ وَاستَضافَهُ فِي بَيتِهِ فَرِحاً.

7 فَلَمّا رَأى النّاسُ ذَلِكَ، بَدَأُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ وَيَقولونَ: «لَقَدْ ذَهَبَ لِيَحِلَّ ضَيفاً عَلَى إنسانٍ خاطِئٍ.»

8 أمّا زَكّا فَقَدْ وَقَفَ وَقالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «يا رَبُّ! ها أنا سَأُعطِي نِصفَ ما أملكُهُ لِلفُقَراء. وَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ ظَلَمْتُ أحَداً، فَإنِّي سَأُعَوِّضُهُ بِأربَعَةِ أضعافٍ.»

9 فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «اليَومَ جاءَ الخَلاصُ إلَى هَذا البَيتِ. فَهَذا الرَّجُلُ هُوَ أيضاً ابنٌ لإبراهِيمَ. 10 لِأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانَ جاءَ لِكَي يَجِدَ الضّائِعِيْنَ فَيُخَلِّصَهُمْ.

Here Jesus is telling all Wall Street bidders, Lamborghini and Ferrari/mansion owners, and 60k+ salary recipients, how hard it is for them to enter the kingdom of God with their current status (stacking money and not helping the poor and the needy/communities). This is one of the main reasons why Jesus was plotted against and eventually tried, no one wants to hear this (the truth is hard to accept in a sinful world, fallen into Satan's lap and well entertained by his forces in the air/his media and controlled mainstream). But then of course he resurrected to show them who He is, in case there was any doubt. *The King of all Creation. Nice try Satan, but you can't kill one of the co-creators!

God Bless!

Timing is of the Essence, and Combined with Knowledge--Priceless

photo by shutterstock.com

          Timing in time is of the essence, and combined with expanding knowledge it's of priceless value.

          Part of God's perfection is due to His nature of timing (ahead of time) and knowing everything so well (as He created it all), in the Bible. No other text will give you these details of the creator, up-close as you can get, for us being mortal humans. It is His word to us, because in Genesis 6:3 God is telling us right from the beginning after Adam and Eve fell into sin, that he could not physically abide with us on Earth for much longer after that. Due to our new state of unholiness the scriptures were to come as His word to us in this physical world, God has never forgot us the scriptures point-out. He dwells with us in spirit (John 4:24) and via the helper (John 15:26-27/Holy Spirit) until judgement day. The Chief Priest of the restoration plan (Salvation Plan) is Jesus Christ of course, accept Him and you accept God's gift to be restored to eternal life, either if you need to be resurrected (you die the first death) or you live until to that day and hour (Matthew 24:36).

Yes, 'The Great Controversy' is real, an excellent book (for all true believers) from the ministry of Ellen G. White based on the scriptures. Get it while there's still time.

God (YHWH) Bless!

The Great Hope, by Ellen G. White: Chapter 2 — Hope for Triumph Over Evil

(sections in this post: Grace from Christ, A Vigilant Foe, and Angels Help) 

Chapter intro-

"I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15. This enmity is not natural. When man transgressed the divine law, his nature became evil, in harmony with Satan. Fallen angels and wicked men united in desperate companionship. Had not God interposed, Satan and man would have entered into an alliance against Heaven, and the whole human family would have been united in opposition to God. When Satan heard that enmity should exist between himself and the woman, and between his seed and her seed, he knew that by some means man was to be enabled to resist his power.

Grace from Christ

Christ implants in man enmity against Satan. Without this converting grace and renewing power, man would continue a servant ever ready to do Satan's bidding. But the new principle in the soul creates conflict; the power which Christ imparts enables man to resist the tyrant. To abhor sin instead of loving it displays a principle wholly from above. The antagonism between Christ and Satan was strikingly displayed in the world's reception of Jesus. The purity and holiness of Christ called forth against Him the hatred of the ungodly. His self-denial was a perpetual reproof to a proud, sensual people. Satan and evil angels joined with evil men against the Champion of truth. The same enmity is manifested toward Christ's followers. Whoever resists temptation will arouse the wrath of Satan. Christ and Satan cannot harmonize. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12. Satan's agents seek to deceive Christ's followers and allure them from their allegiance. They pervert Scripture to accomplish their object. The spirit which put Christ to death moves the wicked to destroy His followers. All this is foreshadowed in that first prophecy: "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed." Why is it that Satan meets no greater resistance? Because the soldiers of Christ have so little real connection with Christ. Sin is not to them repulsive as it was to their Master. They do not meet it with determined resistance. They are blinded to the character of the prince of darkness. Multitudes do not know that their enemy is a mighty general warring against Christ. Even ministers of the gospel overlook the evidences of his activity. They seem to ignore his very existence.

A Vigilant Foe

This vigilant foe is intruding his presence in every household, in every street, in the churches, in national councils, in courts of justice, perplexing, deceiving, seducing, everywhere ruining the souls and bodies of men, women, and children. He breaks up families, sowing hatred, strife, sedition, and murder. And the world seems to regard these things as though God had appointed them and they must exist. All who are not decided followers of Christ are servants of Satan. When Christians choose the society of the ungodly, they expose themselves to temptation. Satan conceals himself from view and draws his deceptive covering over their eyes. Conformity to worldly customs converts the church to the world, never the world to Christ. Familiarity with sin will cause it to appear less repulsive. When in the way of duty we are brought into trial, we may be sure God will protect us; but if we place ourselves under temptation we shall fall sooner or later. The tempter often works most successfully through those least suspected of being under his control. Talent and culture are gifts of God; but when these lead away from Him, they become a snare. Many a man of cultured intellect and pleasant manners is a polished instrument in the hands of Satan. Never forget the inspired warning sounding down the centuries to our time: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11. Our great enemy is preparing for his last campaign. All who follow Jesus will be in conflict with this foe. The more nearly the Christian imitates the divine Pattern, the more surely will he make himself a mark for the attacks of Satan. Satan assailed Christ with fierce and subtle temptations; but he was repulsed in every conflict. Those victories make it possible for us to conquer. Christ will give strength to all who seek it. No man without his own consent can be overcome by Satan. The tempter has no power to control the will or force the soul to sin. He can cause distress, but not defilement. The fact that Christ conquered should inspire His followers with courage to fight the battle against sin and Satan.

Angels Help

Angels of God and evil spirits are plainly revealed in Scripture and interwoven with human history. Holy angels that "minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14) are regarded by many as spirits of the dead. But the Scriptures present proof that these are not disembodied spirits of the dead. Before the creation of man, angels were in existence, for when the foundations of the earth were laid, "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Job 38:7. After the fall of man, angels were sent to guard the tree of life before a human being had died. Angels are superior to men, for man was made "a little lower than the angels." Psalm 8:5. Says the prophet, "I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne." In the presence of the King of kings they wait—"ministers of his, that do his pleasure," "hearkening unto the voice of his word," "an innumerable company." Revelation 5:11; Psalm 103:20, 21; Hebrews 12:22. As God's messengers they go forth, like "the appearance of a flash of lightning," so swift their flight. The angel that appeared at the Saviour's tomb, his countenance "like lightning," caused the keepers for fear of him to quake, and they "became as dead men." When Sennacherib blasphemed God and threatened Israel, "the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand." Ezekiel 1:14; Matthew 28:3, 4; 2 Kings 19:35. Angels are sent on missions of mercy to the children of God. To Abraham, with promises of blessing; to Sodom, to rescue Lot from doom; to Elijah, about to perish in the desert; to Elisha, with chariots and horses of fire when he was shut in by his foes; to Daniel, while abandoned to become the lion's prey; to Peter, doomed to death in Herod's dungeon; to the prisoners at Philippi; to Paul in the night of tempest on the sea; to open the mind of Cornelius to receive the gospel; to dispatch Peter with the message of salvation to the Gentile stranger—thus holy angels have ministered to God's people.

The Fake End

     No one really knows the end of the world. The world elite, through the use of their controlled mainstream media (most of the mainstream on your TV), are going to try to use one of many scapegoats to do their Alien/end of the world little show to try to get people to welcome New Age mysticism and "enlightenment" as a replacement to their faith(s). Which the Bible explicitly warns about and it is another package of Luciferianism wrapped tightly to look appealing. We are in a time of many deceptions where the popularly advertised "truth" is many times just another branch or extension of the lie and well presented. They are out to deceive on YouTube, blogs, magazines, and the rest of the social media tools. Don't believe this blog itself unless you see that it directly quotes Bible material.

Many out and about don't see it, but it's a full scale war to preserve the truth and tell it against those out there that prefer to perish with Satan and/or are being deceived by him and his forces. Some of these individuals being deceived are, unfortunately as it has turned-out, powerful and influential in the decisions of present day human affairs. But this also fulfills Bible prophecy, so bear with it, and God is helping you through this too.  

The Bible, the Holy Word of God entirely, also mentions that no one will be able to figure-out the time and date of the end:

Matthew 24:36-39 King James Version (KJV)

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Mark 13:32-33 King James Version (KJV)

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

They seem to be preparing and staging a a world-wide special effex scenario, and bootleg indeed, when Jesus C. comes down, whatever form he uses, there won't be the need for Hollywood special effex.

May the LORD of Hosts, who is watching us all, richly bless you!
