\u00a0– EXCERPT FROM\u00a0\u201cHE\u2019S STILL GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS\u201d –<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"God wrote prophecy in the Bible to show that he can predict the future like no other, for he is a all-powerful and omniscient God.\u00a0 Too bad few people study prophecy, for if they did, they could see God\u2019s finger prints all over history.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t study prophecy, you are then rendering about 30% of the Bible meaningless and throwing out the Bible\u2019s proof that the God of the Bible is the one and only living God, and there is no God other than him.<\/p>\n

Now think about what the Bible claims to be.\u00a0 It\u2019s a message written by the Creator to his creation.\u00a0 That\u2019s powerful.\u00a0 It\u2019s more than powerful, it\u2019s mind boggling.\u00a0 The question is:\u00a0 How does the Creator authenticate his message?\u00a0 How does he prove to a creation, a creation that he has given great mental faculties to, that he is indeed the one sending the message?\u00a0 Well, the primary way he has chosen to do that is to tell the future before it happens.\u00a0 In fact, the God of the Bible warns us that there are a lot of God wannabees.\u00a0 He will prove that he is the only eternal true creator because he will do what no one else can.<\/p>\n

Before this website, did you realize that about 30% of the Bible is prophecy, which is unlike any religious book ever written?\u00a0 In contrast to the Bible, there are no verifiable prophecies in the Koran, the Hindu Vedas, or the sacred scriptures of any major religion.\u00a0 Over 300 prophecies about Jesus\u2019 life was prophesied hundreds to thousands of years before he lived.\u00a0 And then there were the many prophecies concerning the nation of Israel written about the existence of that country, both thousands of years ago and today.\u00a0 But most of the Bible\u2019s prophecies were fulfilled thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n

With many prophecies, however, we don\u2019t have to look back that far.\u00a0 Many have been fulfilled in the 20th century, and many others look like they have been fulfilled in the early 21st century.\u00a0 That\u2019s what this ministry is all about, looking at those prophecies.<\/p>\n

\"\"Is it possible to know when Jesus is coming soon?\u00a0 The Bible says it is.\u00a0 The Bible states that the generation that sees all of the end times signs occurring in it will not pass.<\/p>\n

What does this mean, \u201cthis generation shall not pass?\u201d\u00a0 Here\u2019s the scriptures that this phrase is found in:<\/p>\n

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree:\u00a0 As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.\u00a0 Even so, when you see all these things (the signs of Christ\u2019s return in the prior verses of the chapter), you know that it is near, right at the door.\u00a0 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.<\/em><\/span>
\nMatthew 24:32-34<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe that this means the generation of people that sees all of the signs of the return of Christ coming together at the same time is the generation that will also see Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 But you may be saying to yourself, isn\u2019t there a verse that contradicts that.\u00a0 The book of Mark states the following:<\/p>\n

No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father<\/em>.<\/span>
\nMark 13:32<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you rectify these two seeming contradictory verses, for in Mark 13:28-30 it states you can know when Christ\u2019s return is near, and two verses later it states that nobody can know when Christ returns?\u00a0 Is God talking on both sides of his mouth?\u00a0 No, I assure you he is not.\u00a0 He\u2019s just telling us to not place any dates when it comes to his return, but not that we can\u2019t know when his coming is near.\u00a0 We can know which generation of people (the general time period) that will see Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 For why would Christ command us when we see not some, but all of the signs of his return coming together at the same time, to do what the following verse states:<\/p>\n

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.<\/em><\/span>
\nLuke 21:28<\/span><\/p>\n

Why would Christ command us to do this if we couldn\u2019t possibly know which generation (or general time period) would see Christ\u2019s return?\u00a0 He would be commanding us to do something that wouldn\u2019t be possible to do because we couldn\u2019t know.\u00a0 And why would God have given detailed signs in the Bible as to the end of the world as we know it if he didn\u2019t want someone (like me and you) to actually check and see if they were being fulfilled?<\/p>\n

That is why he has raised my ministry up.\u00a0 He wants his children to KNOW, not think it may occur, but KNOW that his return is near.\u00a0 That is why he put all of those signs about his return in the Bible.\u00a0 So the last generation on planet earth could KNOW when his return was near, so that they would have no excuse not to be ready.<\/p>\n

\"\"But why would God put all of the verses in Daniel, in the three Gospels, in Revelation, and many other parts of the Bible just for ONE generation of people, one single generation?\u00a0 Does God play favorites?\u00a0 Does he love people more today than the people that lived many centuries ago?\u00a0 To the people of past generations the prophecies in Daniel, Revelation, and other parts of the Bible didn\u2019t make sense to as much as people of OUR generation. This book will PROVE THIS.\u00a0 No, God loved those people as much as he loves us today.\u00a0 The difference is in the numbers. Did you realize that there are over 6 billion people today, about 6 times the number of people only 200 years ago?\u00a0 It took till the 1800s for mankind to reach 1 billion people being alive.\u00a0 At the time we\u2019re living right now, there are over 6 billion people alive on the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first billion took from the birth of the race to the year 1800; the second \u2013 130 years; the third \u2013 30 years; the fourth billion level was reached in 15 years, and it has taken only 12 years to reach 5 billion.\u00a0 Harper writes:\u00a0 We will reach 6 billion by 1998.\u00a0 At the present rate we could reach 10 billion in the next 20 years.
\n(Toronto Star (Columnist Tom Harper), August 28, 1994).<\/p>\n

\"\"That is why God had all of the signs of the end times, the book of Revelations and all of the prophecies concerning the end times for one and only one generation of people.\u00a0 That is why he told only one generation specifically to be looking for the signs of his return and be ready!\u00a0 For God wants a pure church.\u00a0 So we can KNOW the general time period (the one generation which see all the signs come together), but we can\u2019t know the specific time period, the day and the hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The foolish person is the one who believes he can know the day and the hour or even the year of Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 I have heard of many men through my research who thought they knew the year of Christ\u2019s return, and a few even going as far as stating they knew the date of Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 When the date past and still no return, they look like fools to both Christians and non-Christians alike.\u00a0 God doesn\u2019t want us to look like fools to the world.\u00a0 Many a church and many a people have sold all that they own because they thought they knew the specific time of Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 After the time past, their lives were devastated.\u00a0 They had lost everything.\u00a0 Christ doesn\u2019t want his church to sell everything they have and wait for him on some mountain somewhere.\u00a0 He wants us to get ready for his return by doing the things he asks in the Bible.<\/p>\n

Like I said before, don\u2019t start setting dates, for we can\u2019t know the day and hour or even the year.\u00a0 But like I also stated before, we can know, not think we know, but know the general time period.\u00a0 For Jesus did not tell his disciples that they can\u2019t know when the end would come when they asked Jesus what were the signs of the end and Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 To the contrary, he spelled the signs out in great detail about his return.\u00a0 Why would he tell us the signs of his return if we were not suppose to watch for them?\u00a0 Why would God have so many signs and prophecies in Daniel, in three of the Gospels, in Revelations, and in so many other books of the Bible that you will find out as you read this book?\u00a0 With all of these signs God gives us about Christ\u2019s return and the end of the world as we know it, are we suppose to look the other way and not see if these things are being fulfilled or not?\u00a0 Are we suppose to just look the other way to all of the prophecies (30% of Bible) that God has given us concerning God forecasting history?\u00a0 What possible purpose would God put all of the signs I have contained in my book in his book, the Bible, if we were not suppose to study them to see if we were the generation that God talked about.\u00a0 These following scriptures would contradict an attitude of not looking:<\/p>\n

Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 1:3<\/span><\/p>\n

Behold, I am coming soon!\u00a0 Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 22:7<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not put out the Spirit\u2019s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt.\u00a0 Test everything.\u00a0 Hold on to the good.\u00a0 Avoid every kind of evil.\u00a0 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.\u00a0 May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/span>
\n1 Thessalonians 5:19-23<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t say cursed is the man who looks at prophecy.\u00a0 It says blessed is the man who reads the words of this prophecy (meaning the Book of Revelation).\u00a0 The Bible tells us to not treat prophecies with contempt.\u00a0 If you do, you\u2019re treating about 30 per cent of the Bible that way.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t say we can\u2019t know the generation that will see the Lord\u2019s return, it says we can know that generation.\u00a0 Read again the verses at the beginning of this section.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t tell us to not look for the signs as displayed in the fig tree analogy, it tells us to know when his coming is near, even right at the door.\u00a0 Christ commands us to know when his coming is near:<\/p>\n

Even so, when you see these things, happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.<\/em><\/span>
\nMark 13:29<\/span><\/p>\n

Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.\u00a0 You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.<\/em><\/span>
\nMatthew 16:3<\/span><\/p>\n

If you still don\u2019t believe God would tell one generation of people that he is coming for them if they are ready, what is your reason for not believing when the Bible clearly states that you can know if you are looking?\u00a0 Why wouldn\u2019t God let his church know that his return is near, and the end of human history as we know it is about complete?\u00a0 Why wouldn\u2019t God allow this generation, with six times the number of people of only 200 years ago, to have the opportunity to know that they will witness Christ\u2019s return?\u00a0 Is it against God\u2019s loving nature to let mankind KNOW of his return?\u00a0 To the contrary, it is part of his nature to let people know of his soon judgement so that people can repent. Some examples of this are Noah\u2019s flood, destruction of Sodom, destruction of Israel 2500 years ago, and many other instances in the Bible where God warned people in various ways of his upcoming judgement.\u00a0 And what judgement is more severe than the tribulation period found in Revelation.\u00a0 You think God isn\u2019t going to warn almost six billion people of that?\u00a0 That is why he completes over 100 signs in ONE generation of people, so people are without excuse who go through the wrath of God in the terrible tribulation period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the event that most rivals the end of the world and Christ\u2019s return to see if there are any similarities.\u00a0 That event is the end of the world the first time, Noah\u2019s flood.\u00a0 It says in the Bible that the days of the return of Christ will be similar to the days of Noah.<\/p>\n

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.<\/em><\/span>
\nMatthew 24:37<\/span><\/p>\n

Did God give those people any signs that the end of the world was coming soon and repent?\u00a0 Didn\u2019t he give the sign of Noah\u2019s Ark as a sign to those people that the end of the world was approaching?\u00a0 The people of that day knew what Noah was saying when he was building the Ark.\u00a0 They knew that Noah believed the end of the world was approaching.\u00a0 They could see when Noah was about finished with the Ark that the end of the world, according to Noah, was about to take place. The people of that day even saw Noah lining up the animals in twos.\u00a0 But did they believe him and repent?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 They mocked him, called him crazy, and continue to live life like it would never end.\u00a0 Is there any similarities between then and the end times we are living in?\u00a0 Why did God choose one generation of people to show all of the signs of his return?\u00a0 To make it obvious, like in the days of Noah.<\/p>\n

For if God allowed the people of Noah\u2019s day to see Noah build the Ark and even make it as obvious to those people that the animals were brought in the Ark by twos, do you really think that God wouldn\u2019t try to make the end of the world the second time around as obvious to almost six billion people?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you think Noah and his family (only people right with God in their day) knew as the Ark was being finished that the end of the world was near?\u00a0 It says the Christ\u2019s return will be the same as the days of Noah, so don\u2019t you think God wants us Christians to know, as Noah and his family did, that the end of the world was near?\u00a0 Does God change in the way he deals with destroying the earth?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t he the same forever?<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.<\/em><\/span>
\nHebrews 13:8<\/span><\/p>\n

I the Lord do not change.<\/em><\/span>
\nMalachi 3:6<\/span><\/p>\n

If God made it that obvious to the people in Noah\u2019s day, wouldn\u2019t he try to make it just as obvious to people of our day, considering the numbers of people on this planet.\u00a0 That\u2019s why he fulfills all the prophecies concerning the restoration of Israel and all of the signs of his return in ONE generation of people.\u00a0 This way people have no excuse if they go through the tribulation period and suffer God\u2019s full wrath against sin.<\/p>\n

\"\"For all who saw the Ark, they knew that the world was going to end, according to Noah. In the same way, with over 100 signs of the end happening in one generation, God is again trying to make it obvious to a world that refuses to know or love him, that he wants to forgive all of the people of their sins if they would only repent and turn to him.\u00a0 You see God doesn\u2019t want anybody to go through the tribulation or go to Hell, eternal separation from him.\u00a0 So he is going to make it as obvious as he can that the world is about to end and people should repent, just like in the days of Noah when all who saw the Ark knew what it meant, the end of the world.\u00a0 Like I will say again, that is why God does over one hundred signs of the end of the age in one generation of people, TO MAKE IT OBVIOUS TO ALL PEOPLE, because God doesn\u2019t want anyone to go through the terrible tribulation period found in Revelation or go to hell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like Noah, Christian prophecy teachers have been saying for years that the world was about to end and that we were living in the last generation of people.\u00a0 But what has the world done, mocked at them in the same way they mocked at Noah when he made that announcement.<\/p>\n

First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.\u00a0 They will say, \u201cWhere is this \u2018coming\u2019 he promised?\u00a0 Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.\u201d\u00a0 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God\u2019s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and with water.\u00a0 By water also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.\u00a0 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men.<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a02 Peter 3:3-7<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Many thousands of years have passed since the days of Noah, but has the world really changed that much?\u00a0 They were scoffing the boat in those days as they were seeing it just about be finished, and they are scoffing the prophecy teachers and the signs of today.\u00a0 You see God doesn\u2019t take things like the end of the world lightly.\u00a0 He\u2019s going to make things as obvious as he can so people are without excuse if they reject him and get destroyed in the flood or during the tribulation period in Revelation.\u00a0 That is why he fulfills ALL of the signs of his return in one generation, so the generation of people that go through the tribulation period are without excuse.\u00a0 That is why he raptures his church from the world before the tribulation period, because his judgement isn\u2019t against us, only for those who refuse to repent in the light of the signs telling them that they are that chosen generation.<\/p>\n

The Bible does say that the day of the Lord\u2019s return will come like a thief.\u00a0 But this isn\u2019t meant for the person seeking God, it is for the part of that last generation that totally rejects God\u2019s truth.<\/p>\n

For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.\u00a0 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.<\/em><\/span>
\nLuke 17:24,25<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider these verses as it relates to the thief in the night:<\/p>\n

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?\u00a0 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.\u00a0 I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.\u00a0 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, \u2018My master is staying away a long time,\u2019 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.\u00a0 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.\u00a0 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a0Matthew 24:45-51<\/span><\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t say the faithful servant won\u2019t know when the master is returning.\u00a0 No, he says the wicked one will not be expecting the master\u2019s return when he comes.\u00a0 Christians are the sons and daughters of light.<\/p>\n

But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.\u00a0 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day.\u00a0 We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.\u00a0 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep (and don\u2019t know the Lord is returning in OUR generation), but let us be alert and self-controlled.<\/em><\/span>
\n1 Thessalonians 5:4-6<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no reason against God\u2019s nature that would tell us that he wouldn\u2019t reveal to his church which generation of people who will see the Lord\u2019s return.\u00a0 For do you think that God would allow Satan and the kingdom of darkness to know something that his children of light can\u2019t know?\u00a0 For it says in Scripture that Satan knows when Christ\u2019s return is near.<\/p>\n

But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!\u00a0 He is filled with fury, because HE KNOWS that his time is short.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 12:12<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"To believe that Satan could know something God\u2019s children couldn\u2019t know would be absurd.\u00a0 To think that God would let the devil know when the end is near, but not the children that he paid for with his blood.\u00a0 The day of the Lord will only come as a thief to those who are not ready.\u00a0 You see, Satan wants Christians to believe that we can\u2019t know the general time (generation) that Christ is returning so the church won\u2019t be as ready as it could be if the church knew it was that generation.\u00a0 That is why Satan gets people to misinterpret \u201cno man knows the day and hour\u201d to mean that Christians can\u2019t know that they are living in the generation that is going to see Christ\u2019s return.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t want the church to get itself ready. Think about it.\u00a0 There may be more people caught up in the rapture than there are currently people living in Heaven.\u00a0 Can you see the reason why Satan doesn\u2019t want you to know the uniqueness of our generation?\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t want us as a church to become as pure and holy as we can, be as bright of a shining light in this dark world as we can, as we get ready to be lifted to paradise to spend eternity with the Lord we love.<\/p>\n

As I stated earlier, those who thought the Lord was coming in previous generations didn\u2019t understand prophecy well enough to know that it was impossible to fulfill end time prophecy without a nation of Israel.\u00a0 But it says that a lot of things concerning prophecy will be sealed up till the end.\u00a0 In the time of the end, people will be able to understand what the prophecies about the end times mean that previous generations had no clue what they meant.<\/p>\n

But, you, Daniel, close up and seal the words until the time of the end.<\/em><\/span>
\nDaniel 12:4<\/span><\/p>\n

Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.\u00a0 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to do wicked.\u00a0 None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand<\/em><\/span>
\nDaniel 12:9,10<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it mean when it says that the wicked will not understand, but the wise will?\u00a0 Why does it say in Scripture that the Lord will come like a thief in the night?\u00a0 That is for the wicked.\u00a0 You see we understand things in the book of Revelation and other parts of the Bible that no other generation understood.\u00a0 The words of Daniel truly were sealed till the time of the end.\u00a0 I will give you a few examples here and you will see many examples in this book.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at nuclear bombs.\u00a0 The Bible says in the following:<\/p>\n

A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 9:18<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the advent of the nuclear bomb, how could this happen.\u00a0 Now we can see how this is possible.\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at the mark of the beast:\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 13:16-18<\/span><\/p>\n

How was this possible before the advent of the computer?\u00a0 Now we can see that the mark is only essentially a debit card on your hand or your forehead, placed actually in you in the form of a computer chip (like smart cards have) for security purposes.\u00a0 Because people can steal your debit card and your smart card but not your hand or forehead.\u00a0 How could one man rule the whole world?\u00a0 Now, with the advent of the United Nations, people can see how one man can rule the entire world.\u00a0 How could the Euphrates River to be dried up to be prepare the way for the kings of the East?<\/p>\n

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 16:12<\/span><\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll find in this book, for the first time in history the Euphrates can be dried up by natural means through the use of dams.\u00a0 How could the kings of the East have an army of 200 million soldiers?<\/p>\n

Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.\u00a0 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.\u00a0 The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million.\u00a0 I heard their number.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 9:14-16<\/span><\/p>\n

We now know that 40% of the world\u2019s population lives in India and China, which both coincidentally, of course, are east of Israel, the focal point of the Bible.\u00a0 You see, there are a lot of things in the Bible that were truly sealed up till the time of the end.\u00a0 These are things that no other generation in human history can understand like we can.<\/p>\n

God wants us and expects us to know the generation (general time period) of his return.\u00a0 He is not coming for Christians like a thief in the night.<\/p>\n

Wake up!\u00a0 Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.\u00a0 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard (like what you will read in THIS BOOK); obey it, and repent.\u00a0 But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.<\/em><\/span>
\nRevelation 3:2,3<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord only comes like a thief to those who are not seeking Him.\u00a0 If Jesus did not want us to watch for his coming, he would not have taken so much time to clearly describe so many signs that would precede his coming.\u00a0 And he would not have promised a special blessing to those who make the effort to read and understand the prophecies of the Bible.\u00a0 Furthermore, when the disciples asked Jesus, \u201cWhat shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?\u201d\u00a0 He did not tell them it would be a waste of valuable time to be watching for these things.\u00a0 Conversely, from both the detailed answer that Jesus gave and the tremendous amount of space given to these signs in the Scriptures it would seem that God thought it was important for believers to keep a close watch on the signs of the times.<\/p>\n

Another thing that I will mention is concerning when the generation began.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019m not sure when the generation began.\u00a0 But I am sure, after over three thousand hours of research, that WE ARE THE GENERATION THAT WILL SEE THE LORD\u2019S RETURN!!!<\/p>\n

A lot of people believe that the last generation of people began with anyone born after the year 1948 because that was the year Israel became a nation.\u00a0 In the Bible, Israel is many times referred as the fig tree.\u00a0 In the book of Matthew, Christ withered a fig tree by the road (Matt. 21:18-20).\u00a0 I believe that had prophetic significance in the fact that about 40 years after Christ\u2019s death, Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were cast out of their homeland (AD 70).\u00a0 Israel literally died like the fig tree.\u00a0 But in Matthew 24:32, Christ talks about the fig tree once again, this time growing.\u00a0 For the first time since its destruction in AD 70, Israel is the Jewish homeland with it becoming a nation in 1948.\u00a0 Christ couldn\u2019t have returned before this incredible even occurred.\u00a0 As you\u2019ll see in the Israel section, the nation is truly growing in population, wealth, technology, and in every other way.\u00a0 Israel is thriving, probably unlike any nation in the world, especially considering its small geographical size.\u00a0 So the fig tree is truly growing.<\/p>\n

In addition to Jesus telling us to look for the signs of the end times, I believe Jesus was also saying look at his fig tree, Israel.<\/p>\n

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree (Israel):\u00a0 As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.\u00a0 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.\u00a0 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.<\/em><\/span>

\u00a0– END OF EXCERPT –<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019m convinced that the next great event of this age is the Rapture of the Church! Soon, \u201cthe 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: Then, we which are alive remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:\u201d (I Thess. 4:16-17) Shortly after that, the Antichrist will confirm a treaty with Israel, marking the beginning of \u201cThe Tribulation\u201d (Dan. 9:27). At the end of that seven year period, our Lord Jesus will return to this earth in great glory with His saints (Matt. 24:27-30,Zech. 14:3-5, 9). He will destroy His enemies, lock up Satan, and establish His Kingdom on this planet where He will rule in peace, righteousness and justice for one thousand years (Rev. 20:4). Then, Satan will be loosed for a time to deceive the nations of the earth one last time. He will lead them in rebellion against the Lord, but God Himself will destroy them and throw Satan into the eternal lake of fire (Rev. 20:7-10). God will then judge the unredeemed of all ages at His Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11-15). He will create a new heaven and a new earth and there, the saints of all ages will enter into the eternal presence of God (Rev. 21).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
