UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM...

Jesus said to pray that we would be accounted worthy to escape all these things and keep us from the hour of trial that is coming to the earth. Daniel’s 70th week is this hour of trial coming to test those who dwell on the earth. He is coming to punish disobedience and to bring a separation between the sheep and the goats, but the faithful church, who is diligently waiting for the coming of the bridegroom will be spared from the hour of trial coming.

God delivered righteous Lot as one important pattern of removing his people “before the wrath.” The righteous were taken out then and also in the days of Noah. God’s justice destroyed “the world that then was” and brought punishment on the wicked. There is coming a seven year tribulation, but God will rescue out of this His end-time remnant that is both diligent and watchful.

People will always mock the truth, for it says “in the last days scoffers” will abound showing their ongoing pattern of wilful disobedience. These will pay the ultimate price, but God has always given people time and space to repent. Many will be reserved for punishment in this rebellious and disobedient world in a furnace of suffering like the world has never seen.

The basics of prophecy go hand in glove between understanding Daniel’s 70th week and the Book of Revelation. The scriptures are really clear that there is coming a great deception which will lead to a covenant israel makes with this false messiah. Before this seven year contract there will be a catching away of the saints where we meet the lord in the air at the end of this age of grace.

The dominant spirit of this age is the spirit of lawlessness. The Bible says in these last days “lawlessness will abound” but in the midst of it all we are told to lift up our heads because our redemption draws nigh. You can expect to be heavily persecuted before Jesus is coming for you. Be not deceived, the antichrist is coming but not before the rapture. Pray that you are found worthy to escape all these things that will come. He said “be awake and watchful” - “you don’t know the day or the hour.” One of the dominant spirits at the end of this age is lawlessness. How long will God hold back before His Justice prevails?

GREAT TRIBULATION - DANIEL’S 70TH WEEK. This is known as other wise as the seven-year tribulation that leads up to the second coming of Christ where He judges, punishes and separates the sheep from the goats. The scripture teaches the rapture of the most holy (separated) who are watchfully waiting to come to full salvation at His Appearing before the 70th week begins.

There will come an hour that only the Father knows when all that will be saved are saved. God’s cup is full and now everything will break loose.

Many in the church and the world at large believe that ignorance is bliss. Well it’s actually premeditated suicide by laziness and carelessness. Fully 30% of the Bible is prophecy. There were 300 prophecies fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming. There are about 1500 yet to be fulfilled around His second coming. Maybe we should be paying attention.

Professing Christians, even many of those that are born again have served God, but a lack of Godly character and a habit of not relying on the Holy Spirit will potentially sink many when they stand before the Great Shepherd one day. You’re accountable to bear fruit to the King of the Universe because it matters that you serve God with reverence and Godly fear.

We are told over and over to be diligent and watchful about the coming of the Lord in the last days. His remnant church is told to pray always that we are worthy to escape the judgement coming to this rebellious earth. We are told to watch and be sober, lest we be left behind. It is because He did not appoint us to wrath that his believers are to be rapture ready.
