Signs of the End of the Age

 

Mark 13: 3 -13

 

Signs of the End of the Age

And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,   “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”   And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray.   Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray.  And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet.   For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them.  And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.   And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.  And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death.   And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

“See that no one leads you astray.”   Did you understand that warning, for many are trying to lead us astray?  Yet many of you are thinking another paranoid, always looking for the boogie man behind everything.  Are you that blind, I made my living in sales and this I learned most everyone is trying to sell you something, and most are things you do not need, but the dangerous ones are selling a godless lifestyle.  A lifestyle designed to get your needs met outside of Christ.  

 

I’ve often stated I can design a story that a goat has healing power if you just worship it, and do the following, and it matters not what the following is in no time in any major city I will have some who will become goat worshipers.  So, do not be surprised when some dude shows up saying they are the Messiah.

 

Since my childhood, it seems there has been nothing but wars and rumors of wars, And yes we are it seems to have more earthquakes and famines and now even plagues.  And the Church is under attack for Christian or now the deplorable.   Parasites, you may refer to them as socialist, they are the same, but I was not sure you would understand what I was saying.   They are godless people who hate authority and believe the government is a better god than our Creator God. Everywhere communism has happened only the leaders live like kings and all the rest are given crumbs.  You may be in a church so-called that the world loves and if, so it is a Godless church, it is not teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

“And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.”  That has not been completed at this time, but it will be in the next ten or so years, and it is my opinion that the fear we saw in the last pandemic, is mild to what will be happening in the years to come.  A leader will come on the scene, he will be one smooth-talking dude and he will be given all kinds of powers, not from God but from the evil one.  And many in and outside of the Church will be his followers, but he is fake, a con, and his time will be short.  

 

Listen, you who go by the name of Jesus, He cannot lie, He is the Truth, so read His words and believe them, for a time is coming where children will rise against parents and have them put to death.
