Jesus and his disciples were crossing to the other side of the sea when a great windstorm arose, threatening to sink their boat. Though Jesus was asleep during the storm, the disciples woke him in fear that they would perish. Jesus calmed the storm with just three words, "Peace, be still." Though storms will come, Jesus has authority over nature and the circumstances of our lives. He brings peace when we have faith in him.
This document discusses different views on the end times and the Millennium period mentioned in the book of Revelation. It outlines the amillennial, post-millennial, and pre-millennial views, including their perspectives on the return of Christ and the 1000 year reign.

1. Nebuchadnezzar sets up a golden statue and commands everyone to worship it, but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse due to their devotion to God.
2. When brought before Nebuchadnezzar, they affirm they will not worship the statue even if it means death in a fiery furnace.
3. They are thrown into the furnace but survive unharmed, demonstrating God's power and protection of their convictions, and Nebuchadnezzar praises their God.
Shu'aib was sent as a prophet by Allah to the people of Madyan, who were known for dishonest business practices like giving short measure and hiding defects in goods. Shu'aib called them to worship only Allah and reform their ways, but they refused to listen and mocked him. When Shu'aib's followers were driven out, Allah punished the disbelievers by sending down a cloud that burst with thunderbolts and fire, killing the evil-doers. The story highlights the consequences of rejecting prophets and corrupt business practices.
This passage is a Psalm attributed to Moses reflecting on God's eternal nature compared to human frailty. It notes that while humans live only 70-80 years if strong, God has always existed from everlasting to everlasting. It asks God to teach humanity to make the most of our brief time and find wisdom, and to turn toward us with compassion, love, and prosperity despite our sins.
This document advertises an evangelism seminar on October 15-17, 2010 with Edwin Jones to discuss practical evangelism. The seminar will examine Revelation 12:7-11 and Genesis 3:15 about the decisive battle between Michael and his angels against Satan and his defeat. It will discuss how there was victory at Calvary but there is still a battle for souls, with Satan deceiving the world. The seminar will outline the three principles from Revelation 11:11 of overcoming Satan through the blood of the Lamb, the word of testimony, and not loving one's life unto death. It emphasizes that Jesus has won but Satan still wants people, and how believers can still be victorious.
The document summarizes the story of Shu'aib as told in the Quran. Shu'aib was sent as a prophet to the people of Madyan to call them to worship Allah alone and live righteously, but they rejected his message. They were arrogant, threatened harm against Shu'aib, and were involved in unfair business practices. Despite Shu'aib's warnings, the people persisted in their wrongdoing and corruption, bringing Allah's punishment upon themselves.

The document contains multiple passages from the Bible that reference spiritual battles against evil forces such as the devil and demons. It encourages Christians to be strong in God's power by putting on spiritual armor in order to stand against the devil's schemes, as the struggle is not against human opponents but against spiritual rulers and authorities from the dark world and heavenly realms. Satan is described as the ancient serpent who deceives the world, while Jesus defeated him and the power of death through his resurrection. Believers are called to resist the devil who prowls like a roaring lion, as he comes to steal, kill and destroy, in contrast to Jesus who came to bring life.
Advent 1 | Firm in the Faith | Daniel 3:8-30Steve Thomason
This document discusses how the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace relates to Advent and being a church in exile. It notes that the three men refused to worship the king's idol and were willing to give their lives rather than serve any god except their own. Similarly, the church should pray for its host culture but not bow to their idols. The story teaches that Christians should be aware of places where their faith is illegal and idols seeking their worship even in their own communities.
The document provides an in-depth study of the biblical prophecies regarding the Second Coming of Christ and the Antichrist. It examines passages from the books of Daniel, John, Thessalonians and others to trace the origins and profile of the Antichrist. Key points include that the Antichrist will come before Christ's return, deceive many, and oppose God. He will exalt himself and demand to be worshipped before being defeated by Christ at His coming.
The document provides an overview of key aspects of the Tribulation according to Christian eschatology. It discusses that the Tribulation will be a future seven-year period of severe distress involving war, persecution, and divine judgment. It examines debates around the Olivet Discourse addressing both its fulfillment in AD 70 and future prophetic significance. Signs of the Tribulation mentioned include war, violence, persecution, martyrdom, and supernatural events described in Revelation.
1. On the day of Pentecost, the disciples gathered and heard a sound like rushing wind filling the house, and tongues of fire rested on each person, filling them with the Holy Spirit.
2. People from many different backgrounds and languages gathered in confusion to hear the disciples speaking in different tongues.
3. Peter addressed the crowd and explained that the events were the fulfillment of the prophet Joel, and that Jesus was Lord. Many were baptized after hearing the message.
While witnessing in a square a couple of weeks ago, I came across two Christian ladies who asked me how I am able to do what I was doing (witnessing in a hostile environment); as they found that environment not conducive to witness in. So I told them some practical things to do `before coming out there, like prayer and fasting (if they can); but MORE IMPORTANTLY I told them a story of an incidence the Lord used to impress in my heart the priceless significance of a good conscience: and need for us is to continually seek the Lord for a GOOD CONSCIENCE so as to have a USEFUL HEART
Veil Rent - The Significance For Us? Boldness to “enter in”
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh. (Hebrews 10:19-20)
Here we have the answer to the question we have always asked: “what do I need to do to go near to God”?
Answer being: Boldness to “enter in”
Yes, the Confidence, self-assurance, nerve, cheek, audaciousness to enter into the very presence of God without the fear of dying there; we can no more die there, since Jesus Christ has died in our place; made eternal life guaranteed for us. Our boldness is based on the perfection of His sacrifice of which He said:
“IT IS FINISHED”
so:
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23)
The document discusses how the phrase "the hand of God" is used in scripture to convey God's personal involvement in creation, preservation, care for his people, and provision of security. It explains that while God is spirit, he uses the metaphor of his hand to communicate in a way humans can understand. Some key points made are that God's hand laid the foundations of earth and spread out the heavens, he preserves and satisfies all living things with his hand, and his people are held securely in his hand.
What temptations do you think Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego faced when they were brought before the king (13–15)? What impresses you most about their response to these temptations (16–18)? How could you follow their example if you were found to have terminal cancer? How could their example help if you faced the possibility of losing your job or receiving a poor grade because of your refusal to compromise God's Word?
Some Christians claim that pain or sickness or trial are always the result of sin or lack of faith. How would you respond to that claim in light of this passage? As you look at Nebuchadnezzar's response (13–15, 19–23), what evidence do you see that his basic conflict was with God rather than with these three men?
The document contains verses from the Quran about being grateful to God. It discusses showing gratitude to God for blessings like food, rescue from dangers, travel over land and sea, the alternation of night and day, and all of God's bounties. The verses emphasize remembering, glorifying, and praying to God, and being grateful rather than ungrateful for His countless favors. They warn that taking God's blessings for granted can lead to despair and punishment if people do not remain grateful.
What does “Islam” mean?
The word الإسلام [Islam] is an infinitive word derived from س ل م [silm] root in if‘al pattern and used as noun and infinitive. The word silm means “release/keeping away; and to be distant from fear, doubt, trouble, lack of peace, unhappiness, fight, war, pain, suffering, material and spiritual inconveniences, weakness and decaying, and all the negativities.” This word is also the root of salim, selam, teslim, Islam etc. The word’s “Islam” form means “strengthening” [removal from problems, worries, fear, unhappiness, fights, wars, and similar negative things]. Hence, the religion Islam means the “the religion that strengthens humans [entire range of principles that protects and secures people by putting a distance between them and problems, worries, war, weakness, spiritual illness, unhappiness, and similar things].”

3) These events parallel other biblical passages describing the tribulation, darkness, shaking of heavens and earth, and people seeking
The document discusses visions that Daniel received about four beasts rising from the sea and a little horn power. It summarizes that the fourth beast was Rome which had ten horns and a little horn emerged that uprooted three horns and had human-like eyes and a boastful mouth. It was given power for a time, times, and half a time (1260 years). The visions also involved a ram and male goat, which represented the kingdoms of Medo-Persia and Greece. The male goat overpowered the ram and a little horn emerged that grew exceedingly powerful but not through its own power and it persecuted God's people for 1260 years.

The Signs of Jesus' Coming and the End of the times part1Van Nagac
The document discusses several signs that will precede the coming of Jesus Christ and the end times according to passages from the Bible. It mentions an increase in earthquakes and wars according to prophecy in the books of Timothy and Matthew. Additionally, it warns of a rise in false prophets and a falling away from the faith.

3) They were miraculously saved from a fiery furnace after refusing to deny God, causing the king to acknowledge the power of their God.
Paul defends his preaching of the gospel to King Agrippa. He tells of his obedience to God's calling despite persecution from Jews. Paul states he is proclaiming what the prophets foretold about the suffering and resurrection of Christ. When accused of being out of his mind, Paul insists he is speaking rationally. He invites Agrippa to become a Christian. Biblical stewardship involves obedience, sacrifice and trust in God as exemplified by Paul and his supporters in preaching the gospel.
The document discusses the mercy and forgiveness of Allah. It provides several verses from the Quran that emphasize Allah as the Most Merciful and how he guides and forgives those who believe. The verses describe Allah sending prophets and revelations as a mercy to mankind and guiding believers to repentance and paradise through his mercy and forgiveness.
The document discusses passages from Revelation chapters 7 and 19-22 regarding a great multitude seen in heaven. It describes the multitude as being too numerous to count, from every nation and tribe, wearing white robes and praising God. One elder states they have come out of the great tribulation. The document argues this multitude represents believers raptured before the tribulation period begins, not believers martyred during the tribulation as some pre-tribulation rapture views hold. It cites several passages suggesting conditions during the tribulation would make widespread conversion unlikely.
The document contains the text of several proclamations and declarations from the United States Congress and presidents designating national days of thanksgiving. It includes excerpts from George Washington's 1789 proclamation urging Americans to give thanks for their freedom and prosperity. It also contains Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation calling for thanksgiving and prayer during the Civil War to ask for God's mercy and healing of the nation. The Bible passage from Colossians 3 discusses putting on compassion and forgiveness as God's chosen people and letting the word of Christ dwell within.

A bible study spread over two articles, October 3 and 10 of 1893, using the principles of typology and explaining the position one should occupy in relation to the organized body of Seventh-day Adventists at this present hour.
A prayerful read of these two articles is recommended.
Jesus was numbered with transgressors and bore the sins of many. He poured out his soul unto death and was accused falsely though he was righteous. By his death, he conquered sin, death, and the devil and secured salvation for many. He was treated as a transgressor and criminal though he was sinless. His death brings great benefits by teaching about God's love for sinners and his hatred of sin, and by defeating the powers that cause human suffering like pain and death.
The document discusses biblical prophecies from the books of Matthew and Revelation about events that will occur during the end times known as the tribulation period, including the rise of the Antichrist, major wars, famine, death, and natural disasters. It suggests these prophecies may be connected to modern systems like social security numbers, cashless payments, and universal product marking/tracking as precursors to the mark of the beast.

The document discusses the concept of covenant in Christianity. It explains that a covenant is an agreement between parties that involves conditions, promises, and consequences. It summarizes how the Bible depicts God making covenants with humanity from the beginning and throughout Scripture, culminating in the new covenant established by Jesus Christ, in which believers are promised forgiveness of sins and an eternal relationship with God.
The document discusses beliefs about the Rapture according to various passages from the Bible. It describes the Rapture as occurring after the Tribulation, when Jesus will descend from heaven with a trumpet call and angels, and the dead in Christ will rise first followed by living believers being caught up to meet Him. Many biblical figures including Paul, Daniel, Isaiah, and John are cited discussing the resurrection of believers and Jesus' return at the last trumpet to gather His elect.
This document discusses the topic of deception and warns of its dangers. It provides several biblical examples of deception, including how the enemy sowed tares while men slept in the parable of the wheat and tares, how Saul disobeyed God by sparing the Amalekite king and cattle, and how the Samaritans combined the worship of God with other gods after being exiled. The document emphasizes that deception will be a major sign of the end times, mentioning it is mentioned three times in Jesus' warnings in Matthew 24. It exhorts readers to avoid deception through diligently following God's word and not being swayed by false doctrines.

The document provides an overview and analysis of Revelation chapter 1. It discusses that Revelation was written by John to encourage believers facing persecution. John received visions on the island of Patmos around AD 95. The book was written for the original 7 churches in Asia Minor dealing with tribulations, but also speaks to believers in all times facing hardship for their faith. It provides hope that Christ has overcome and will return victorious.
Identification of the true and wrong teachingsSabry Shaheen
The document identifies true and distorted religious teachings. It discusses how Jewish scribes distorted the original teachings of the Old Testament by adding phrases that limited justice and blessings to only Israelites. Examples of true teachings that applied laws equally to both Israelites and foreigners are provided. Distorted teachings are shown to glorify certain figures and benefit religious leaders. Jesus and prophets warned against such distortions for personal gain.
Bob Goff said, "We will never honor Christ if we forget how to honor one another!" We should certainly understand our need to honor and reverence God but the New Testament shows an honor and reverence between brothers and sisters in Christ. It was the Golden Rule on steroids! "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" was the foundation of all their relationships with one another. How do we get that back into the church today?
What is the real message of this little one chapter book? it is the story of forgiveness - Philemon had to forgive Philemon to receive him back. it is a story of reconciliation - restoring a relationship that had been lost. And it is a story of a changed relationship - from slave to brother; from master to brother!
Giving is important for several reasons according to the document: it makes us more like God by imitating His generous nature, it draws us closer to God spiritually, it strengthens our faith in God's provision, and it is an investment in eternal rewards. Giving also reveals our level of spiritual maturity in following Christ's example of sacrificial giving.
The "little" book of Philemon is "huge" in teaching! When Paul wrote to Philemon he had an important message to send but he needed a way to reach a man like Philemon. In this message we dissect Paul's way of reaching Philemon with the truth of forgiveness, reconciliation and changed relationships.
Have you heard the fairy tale of the "Little Red Hen?" In this tale, the hen seeks help to being food to the barnyard but none of her friends will help. She goes out alone and finds the wheat, plants it, tends to it, cuts it, has it milled and bakes the cake. After the cake is made, everyone wants a piece but she says no! Is this how God treats us?
Giving is how we show gratitude for all that God has given to us. Giving is probably the greatest shortfall in the average Christian's life, especially here in the United States. The principles of giving are simple to understand, difficult to carry out because of our lack of faith and our greed. We are to give as we have prospered, as we have purposed and cheerfully.
The document summarizes portions of the book of Nehemiah, beginning with Nehemiah hearing a report that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and the city was in distress. Nehemiah wept and prayed to God about this. He received permission from the king to go rebuild Jerusalem. Nehemiah rallied the people to rebuild the walls, which they completed in just 52 days despite opposition. The document then lists some lessons from Nehemiah, including having a vision to accomplish good, enlisting help from all, and that the people had a mind to work.
The passage encourages unity, joy, gentleness, and prayer. It urges the reader to imitate Paul and focus on things true, honorable, and commendable. It promises God's peace for those who bring requests to Him without anxiety through prayer and thanksgiving.
Among all the kings of Judah and Israel, there were very few who "did what was right." Hezekiah was one of the good kings! Even though his father was evil, Hezekiah ushered in a period of spiritual renewal. Every renewal or awakening begins with one person and it is without regard to their ancestry. Every renewal begins with a return to God's word and has an effect on generations to come. Are you the one to begin our next "spiritual awakening?"
When the teacher called on you, were you ready? When we are called upon in the Kingdom of God, we should be ready. We should always be ready to meet God on His terms; We should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us; and we should always be ready for the Lord's return.
How do we define prosperity? It depends on whether we are defining according to God's word or the world's ideas. There is a worldly prosperity and there is a spiritual prosperity. What produces spiritual prosperity? Meditating on and obeying God's word; faith in God and His word; being content with Godliness and what He has given us. What is the value of spiritual prosperity? It abides and produces true success.
When we become Christ followers the old man is destroyed and the new man begins to emerge. In Ephesians 4:22-32 Paul describes this new nature: no lying, no sinful anger, no stealing, no corrupt words, no grieving the Holy Spirit, no bitterness and wrath but rather a kindness toward one another. Is the New Man showing in you?
The document discusses different "roads" or paths that Christians may take, including roads of persecution, poverty, suffering, and loss. It notes that Jesus said he is the only way to God and salvation. Several passages from the book of John are presented, including Jesus telling Peter to follow him. The document emphasizes that individuals should not compare their road to others' but trust that God puts them where they need to be, and the most important thing is to follow Jesus, regardless of one's circumstances.
Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Asia are a roadmap for struggles in the 21st Century church. To the church in Ephesus He had one thing against them: They had left their "first love." What does this mean? Why is love so important? What might have happened to their "first love?" and what is Jesus' exhortation to that church?
Mourning is an indescribable ache to the heart. Mourning is a great time to learn God's compassion because He hurts when we hurt; God's faithfulness because He will never leave us; God's comfort because He yearns to comfort us.
What is stopping you from giving yourself entirely to God? For some it is the pursuit of wealth. For others, it may be the pursuit of pleasure. Still others may be fearful of what others will think and say while others just want to be in control of their own lives. Whatever stands in your way of giving yourself completely to God, remove it!
This passage from 1 Corinthians discusses the proper foundation for faith and spiritual growth. Paul explains that some in the Corinthian church were still immature and divisive, arguing over whether they followed Paul or Apollos. However, Paul and Apollos are merely ministers who planted and watered the seeds of faith; ultimately, God causes the growth. The only sure foundation is Jesus Christ. All other foundations built on human works, righteousness, or traditions will fail. Believers should build on Christ alone through faith, not on their own goodness or spiritual accomplishments.
2nd in a 2-part series. Surrendering ourselves to God, giving up control and letting God do what God does. In part 2 we are encouraged to T.R.U.S.T. (totaling relying upon something true) God and to realize that God has set us free in Christ Jesus.
Paul to told Timothy to "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman doesn't need to be ashamed handling the word of God correctly." Aren't we all supposed to be workers in the Kingdom, workers of God? What are the characteristics of God's workmen? They don't spend time arguing, they seek God's approval and they avoid error.
Life in 2018 is chaotic and stressful, especially for teenagers. How do we cope? Anxiety is real, anxiety and panic attacks are real and can be debilitating. How do we overcome? First we have to realize we are not in control! But God is! When we become anxious and fearful: stop. breathe. Jesus! Love is > fear!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

4. Matthew 24:3-12 - Now as He sat on the
Mount of Olives, the disciples came to
Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will
these things be? And what will be the
sign of Your coming, and of the end of
the age?” And Jesus answered and said
to them: “Take heed that no one
5. deceives you. For many will come in My
name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will
deceive many. And you will hear of wars
and rumors of wars. See that you are not
troubled; for all these things must come
to pass, but the end is not yet. For
6. nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. And there will
be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes
in various places. All these are the
beginning of sorrows. “Then they will
deliver you up to tribulation and kill you,
7. and you will be hated by all nations for
My name’s sake. And then many will be
offended, will betray one another, and
will hate one another. Then many false
prophets will rise up and deceive
many. And because lawlessness will
abound, the love of many will grow
cold.
8. 2Timothy 3:1-5 - But know this, that in
the last days perilous times will
come: For men will be lovers of
themselves, lovers of money, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving,
9. unforgiving, slanderers, without self-
control, brutal, despisers of
good, traitors, headstrong, haughty,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of
God, having a form of godliness but
denying its power. And from such
people turn away!
10. 2Timothy 3:12,13 - Yes, and all who
desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will
suffer persecution. But evil men and
impostors will grow worse and
worse, deceiving and being
deceived.
11. How long will our
society continue this
moral decay?
13. Numbers 14:27 - “How long shall
I bear with this evil congregation
who complain against Me? I have
heard the complaints which the
children of Israel make against
Me.”
14. Psalm 94:3 - LORD, how long
will the wicked, how long
will the wicked triumph?
15. Revelation 6:9,10 - When He
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of those who had been
slain for the word of God and for the
testimony which they held. And they
cried with a loud voice saying,
16. “How long, O Lord, holy and true,
until You judge and avenge our
blood on those who dwell on the
earth?”
19. Numbers 14:11 - Then the LORD
said to Moses: “How long will these
people reject Me? And how long
will they not believe Me, with all
the signs which I have performed
among them?
20. 1Kings 18:21 - And Elijah came to all
the people, and said, “How long will
you falter between two opinions? If
the LORD is God, follow Him; but if
Baal, follow him.” But the people
answered him not a word.
