End time’s Prophecy

1. End time’s prophecy – 24th April 2016
“For we must all appear before the judgmentseat of Christ,so that each of us mayreceive what is
due us for the thingsdone whilein the body,whether goodor bad” (2 Corinthians5:10).
The endtimesare here and Bible prophecyisfastbeingfulfilled. " Sinceyouhave kept my commandto
endure patiently,I will alsokeep you fromthe hourof trial that isgoingto come on the wholeworld
to test the inhabitantsofthe earth.." (Revelation3:10). Thisstatesthat itwill soonbe uponus,and all
whoare not firmlyestablisheduponGod'sWordand the righteousnessof JesusChristwillbe deceived.
Satan "workswithall powerand signsand lying wonderswith all deceivablenessof unrighteousness to
gaincontrol of mankind,andhisdeceptionswill increase rightup tothe veryend.We can learnthis
from2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, “The comingofthe lawlessone will be in accordancewith howSatan
works. He will use all sorts of displaysofpower throughsignsandwonders that serve the lie, 10
and all
the ways that wickednessdeceives those who are perishing.They perish because they refused to love
the truth and so be saved”.
JesusChrist is at the centerof endtimesBible prophecy.He isourrighteousnessandsalvation.He is
the truth. And Revelation14:12, “Thiscallsfor patient enduranceon the part ofthe peopleof Godwho
keep hiscommandsandremain faithful toJesus”.The bible also tellsusthatthe saintsare NOT those
whomerelyhave faithIN Jesus.But tellsusthatthose who keep the commandments of Godand the
faithOF Jesus'.Inother words,Jesus'faithisbeinglivedoutintheirlives. We canlearnin Revelation
14:12, “Thiscallsfor patientendurance on the part of the people of Godwho keep hiscommandsand
remain faithful toJesus”.
We can learnthat Christwill remove all “born-again”believersfromthe earthinan eventknownasthe
Rapture as we can learnfrom 1 Thessalonians4:13-18, “3
Brothers andsisters, we do not want youto
be uninformedaboutthose who sleep indeath, so that youdo not grieve like the rest of mankind,who
have no hope.14
For we believe that Jesus diedand rose again,andso we believethat God will bring
with Jesusthose who have fallenasleepin him.” Atthe judgmentseatof Christ,believerswill be
rewardedforgoodworksand faithful serviceduringtheirtime onearthor will lose rewards,butnot
eternal life,forlackof service andobedience; We can learnin 2 Corinthians5:10, “For we must all
appear before the judgmentseat of Christ,so that each of usmay receive what isdue us for the things
done whilein the body,whether goodor bad”.
The Antichristalsoreferredtoas the beast, will come intopowerandwill signacovenantwithIsrael for
sevenyears:“
Hewill confirma covenant withmany for one seven.’In the middleof the ‘seven’ he will
put an end to sacrificeand offering.Andat the temple he will set up an abominationthatcauses
desolation,until the end that isdecreed is pouredout on him”(Daniel 9:27). Thisseven-yearperiodof
time isknownas the “Tribulation.”Duringthe tribulation,therewillbe terriblewars,famines,plagues,
and natural disasters.Godwill be pouringoutHiswrathagainstsin,evil,andwickedness.The tribulation
will include the appearance of the fourhorsemenof the Apocalypse,andthe sevenseal,trumpet,and
bowl judgments.
Abouthalfwaythroughthe sevenyears,the Antichristwill breakthe peace covenantwithIsraeland
make war againstit.The Antichristwill commit“the abominationof desolation”andsetup an image of
himself tobe worshipped inthe Jerusalemtemple whichwillhave beenrebuilt.The secondhalf of the
tribulationisknown as“the greattribulation”aswe can read through Revelation7:14, “…Andhesaid,

2. “These are they whohave come out of the great tribulation;theyhave washedtheir robes and made
them white in the bloodof the Lamb”.Weare alsotold of “the time of Jacob’s trouble “aswe can learn
fromJeremiah 30:7, “How awful that day will be! No other will be like it. It will be a time oftrouble for
Jacob,but he will be savedout of it”.
At the endof the seven-yeartribulation,the Antichristwilllaunchafinal attackon Jerusalem,
culminatinginthe battle of Armageddon.JesusChristwill return,destroythe Antichristandhisarmies,
and cast themintothe lake of fire as we can learnfrom Revelation19:11-21. Christwill thenbindSatan
inthe Abyssfor1000 yearsand He will rule Hisearthlykingdomforthisthousand-yearperiod aswritten
inRevelation20:1-6.
At the endof the thousandyears,Satanwill be released,defeatedagain,andthencastintothe lake of
fire foreternityasstatedin Revelation20:7-10... Christthenjudgesall unbelievers atthe greatwhite
throne of judgment,castingthemall intothe lake of fire asstatedin Revelation20:10-15. Christwill
thenusherina newheavenandnewearthandthe New Jerusalem—theeternal dwellingplace of
believers.There will be nomore sin,sorrow,ordeath as we can learnfrom Revelation21–22.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of
us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body,
whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
