Seven end times chapters in the gospels bible study

 

Here are seven separate end times chapters in the gospels containing Jesus teaching on the end times. I cannot stress how important these are currently seeing how we are in those times and that His return to rapture the bride is very, very close at hand, even imminent. I am NOT going to prophesy a date because as Jesus says only the Father knows that.

The first chapter is Matthew 13, which is a powerful series of parables. Included are several of them which have end times implications like the wheat and tares.

(Matthew 13:1)  The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

 

(Matthew 13:2)  And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

 

(Matthew 13:3)  And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

 

(Matthew 13:4)  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

 

(Matthew 13:5)  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

 

(Matthew 13:6)  And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

 

(Matthew 13:7)  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

 

(Matthew 13:8)  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

 

(Matthew 13:9)  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

(Matthew 13:10)  And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

 

(Matthew 13:11)  He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

 

(Matthew 13:12)  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

 

(Matthew 13:13)  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

 

(Matthew 13:14)  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

 

(Matthew 13:15)  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

 

(Matthew 13:16)  But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

 

(Matthew 13:17)  For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

 

(Matthew 13:18)  Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

 

(Matthew 13:19)  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

 

(Matthew 13:20)  But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

 

(Matthew 13:21)  Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

 

(Matthew 13:22)  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

 

(Matthew 13:23)  But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

 

(Matthew 13:24)  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

 

(Matthew 13:25)  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

 

(Matthew 13:26)  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

 

(Matthew 13:27)  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

 

(Matthew 13:28)  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

 

(Matthew 13:29)  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

 

(Matthew 13:30)  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

 

(Matthew 13:31)  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

 

(Matthew 13:32)  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

 

(Matthew 13:33)  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

(Matthew 13:34)  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

 

(Matthew 13:35)  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

 

(Matthew 13:36)  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

 

(Matthew 13:37)  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

 

(Matthew 13:38)  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

 

(Matthew 13:39)  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

 

(Matthew 13:40)  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

 

(Matthew 13:41)  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

 

(Matthew 13:42)  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

 

(Matthew 13:43)  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

(Matthew 13:44)  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

 

(Matthew 13:45)  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

 

(Matthew 13:46)  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

 

(Matthew 13:47)  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

 

(Matthew 13:48)  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

 

(Matthew 13:49)  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

 

(Matthew 13:50)  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

 

(Matthew 13:51)  Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

 

(Matthew 13:52)  Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

 

(Matthew 13:53)  And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

 

(Matthew 13:54)  And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

 

(Matthew 13:55)  Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

 

(Matthew 13:56)  And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

 

(Matthew 13:57)  And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

 

(Matthew 13:58)  And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

 

Matthew chapter 24 is one of Jesus end times sermons which is very powerful and contains warnings of what to expect in direct teachings and parables.

(Matthew 24:1)  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

 

(Matthew 24:2)  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

 

(Matthew 24:3)  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

 

(Matthew 24:4)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

 

(Matthew 24:5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

 

(Matthew 24:6)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

 

(Matthew 24:7)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 

(Matthew 24:8)  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

 

(Matthew 24:9)  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

 

(Matthew 24:10)  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

 

(Matthew 24:11)  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

 

(Matthew 24:12)  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

 

(Matthew 24:13)  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 

(Matthew 24:14)  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

 

(Matthew 24:15)  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

 

(Matthew 24:16)  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

 

(Matthew 24:17)  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

 

(Matthew 24:18)  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

 

(Matthew 24:19)  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

 

(Matthew 24:20)  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

 

(Matthew 24:21)  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

(Matthew 24:22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

 

(Matthew 24:23)  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

 

(Matthew 24:24)  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

 

(Matthew 24:25)  Behold, I have told you before.

 

(Matthew 24:26)  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

 

(Matthew 24:27)  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

(Matthew 24:28)  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

 

(Matthew 24:29)  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

 

(Matthew 24:30)  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

(Matthew 24:31)  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

 

(Matthew 24:32)  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

 

(Matthew 24:33)  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

 

(Matthew 24:34)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

 

(Matthew 24:35)  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

(Matthew 24:36)  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

 

(Matthew 24:37)  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

(Matthew 24:38)  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

 

(Matthew 24:39)  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

(Matthew 24:40)  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Matthew 24:41)  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Matthew 24:42)  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

 

(Matthew 24:43)  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

 

(Matthew 24:44)  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

(Matthew 24:45)  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

 

(Matthew 24:46)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

 

(Matthew 24:47)  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

 

(Matthew 24:48)  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

 

(Matthew 24:49)  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

 

(Matthew 24:50)  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

 

(Matthew 24:51)  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

Matthew 25 contains 3 parables which also give strong end times messages such as the parable of the five wise and foolish virgins.

(Matthew 25:1)  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 

(Matthew 25:2)  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

 

(Matthew 25:3)  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

 

(Matthew 25:4)  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 

(Matthew 25:5)  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 

(Matthew 25:6)  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 

(Matthew 25:7)  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

 

(Matv 25:8)  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

 

(Matthew 25:9)  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

 

(Matthew 25:10)  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

 

(Matthew 25:11)  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

 

(Matthew 25:12)  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 

(Matthew 25:13)  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

 

(Matthew 25:14)  For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

 

(Matthew 25:15)  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

 

(Matthew 25:16)  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

 

(Matthew 25:17)  And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

 

(Matthew 25:18)  But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

 

(Matthew 25:19)  After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

 

(Matthew 25:20)  And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

 

(Matthew 25:21)  His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 

(Matthew 25:22)  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

 

(Matthew 25:23)  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 

(Matthew 25:24)  Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

 

(Matthew 25:25)  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

 

(Matthew 25:26)  His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

 

(Matthew 25:27)  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

 

(Matthew 25:28)  Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

 

(Matthew 25:29)  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

 

(Matthew 25:30)  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

(Matthew 25:31)  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

 

(Matthew 25:32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

 

(Matthew 25:33)  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

 

(Matthew 25:34)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 

(Matthew 25:35)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

 

(Matthew 25:36)  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

 

(Matthew 25:37)  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

 

(Matthew 25:38)  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

 

(Matthew 25:39)  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

 

(Matthew 25:40)  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 

(Matthew 25:41)  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

 

(Matthew 25:42)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

 

(Matthew 25:43)  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

 

(Matthew 25:44)  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

 

(Matthew 25:45)  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

 

(Matthew 25:46)  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

 

Mark chapter 13 is the end times teaching in that particular gospel. This message reinforces many of the things that are in Matthew 24.

(Mark 13:1)  And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

 

(Mark 13:2)  And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

 

(Mark 13:3)  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

 

(Mark 13:4)  Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

 

(Mark 13:5)  And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

 

(Mark 13:6)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

 

(Mark 13:7)  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

 

(Mark 13:8)  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

 

(Mark 13:9)  But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

 

(Mark 13:10)  And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

 

(Mark 13:11)  But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

 

(Mark 13:12)  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

 

(Mark 13:13)  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 

(Mark 13:14)  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

 

(Mark 13:15)  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

 

(Mark 13:16)  And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

 

(Mark 13:17)  But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

 

(Mark 13:18)  And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

 

(Mark 13:19)  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

 

(Mark 13:20)  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

 

(Mark 13:21)  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

 

(Mark 13:22)  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

 

(Mark 13:23)  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

 

(Mark 13:24)  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

 

(Mark 13:25)  And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

 

(Mark 13:26)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

 

(Mark 13:27)  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

 

(Mark 13:28)  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

 

(Mark 13:29)  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

 

(Mark 13:30)  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

 

(Mark 13:31)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

 

(Mark 13:32)  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

 

(Mark 13:33)  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

 

(Mark 13:34)  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

 

(Mark 13:35)  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

 

(Mark 13:36)  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

 

(Mark 13:37)  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

 

Luke chapter 12 has both life applications but also some teachings which reinforce that which is in Matthew and Mark, as do the other two chapters in Luke

(Luke 12:1)  In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

 

(Luke 12:2)  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

 

(Luke 12:3)  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

 

(Luke 12:4)  And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

 

(Luke 12:5)  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

 

(Luke 12:6)  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

 

(Luke 12:7)  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

 

(Luke 12:8)  Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

 

(Luke 12:9)  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

 

(Luek 12:10)  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

 

(Luke 12:11)  And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

 

(Luke 12:12)  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

 

(Luke 12:13)  And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

 

(Luke 12:14)  And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

 

(Luked 12:15)  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

 

(Luke 12:16)  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

 

(Luke 12:17)  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

 

(Luke 12:18)  And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

 

(Luke 12:19)  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

 

(Luke 12:20)  But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

 

(Luke 12:21)  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

 

(Luke 12:22)  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

 

(Luke 12:23)  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

 

(Luke 12:24)  Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

 

(Luke 12:25)  And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

 

(Luke 12:26)  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

 

(Luke 12:27)  Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

 

(Luke 12:28)  If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

 

(Luke 12:29)  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

 

(Luke 12:30)  For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

 

(Luke 12:31)  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 

(Luke 12:32)  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

 

(Luke 12:33)  Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

 

(Luke 12:34)  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

 

(Luke 12:35)  Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

 

(Luke 12:36)  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

 

(Luke 12:37)  Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

 

(Luke 12:38)  And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

 

(Luke 12:39)  And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

 

(Luke 12:40)  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

 

(Luke 12:41)  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

 

(Luke 12:42)  And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

 

(Luke 12:43)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

 

(Luke 12:44)  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

 

(Luke 12:45)  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

 

(Luke 12:46)  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

 

(Luke 12:47)  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

 

(Luke 12:48)  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

 

(Luke 12:49)  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

 

(Luke 12:50)  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

 

(Luke 12:51)  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

 

(Luke 12:52)  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

 

(Luke 12:53)  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

 

(Luke 12:54)  And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

 

(Luke 12:55)  And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

 

(Luke 12:56)  Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

 

(Luke 12:57)  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

 

(Luke 12:58)  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

 

(Luke 12:59)  I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

 

Luke 17 continues the end times message after a good message by Jesus on dealing with offenses , repentance and forgivness

(Luke 17:1)  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

 

(Luke 17:2)  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

 

(Luke 17:3)  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

 

(Luke 17:4)  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

 

(Luke 17:5)  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

 

(Luke 17:6)  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

 

(Luke 17:7)  But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

 

(Luke 17:8)  And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

 

(Luke 17:9)  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

 

(Luke 17:10)  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

 

(Luke 17:11)  And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

 

(Luke 17:12)  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

 

(Luke 17:13)  And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

 

(Luke 17:14)  And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

 

(Luke 17:15)  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

 

(Luke 17:16)  And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

 

(Luke 17:17)  And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

 

(Luke 17:18)  There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

 

(Luke 17:19)  And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

 

(Luke 17:20)  And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

 

(Luke 17:21)  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

(Luke 17:22)  And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

 

(Luke 17:23)  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

 

(Luke 17:24)  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

 

(Luke 17:25)  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

 

(Luke 17:26)  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

 

(Luke 17:27)  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

 

(Luke 17:28)  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

 

(Luke 17:29)  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

 

(Luke 17:30)  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

 

(Luke 17:31)  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

 

(Luke 17:32)  Remember Lot's wife.

 

(Luke 17:33)  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

 

(Luke 17:34)  I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

 

(Luke 17:35)  Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Luke 17:36)  Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Luke 17:37)  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

 

Luke 21 is the final chapter and goes over again these messages in the prior ones. I share them all to emphasize how important these things are in the last days.

(Luke 21:1)  And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

 

(Luke 21:2)  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

 

(Luke 21:3)  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

 

(Luke 21:4)  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

 

(Luke 21:5)  And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

 

(Luke 21:6)  As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

 

(Luke 21:7)  And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

 

(Luke 21:8)  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

 

(Luke 21:9)  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

 

(Luke 21:10)  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

 

(Luke 21:11)  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

 

(Luke 21:12)  But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

 

(Luke 21:13)  And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

 

(Luke 21:14)  Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

 

(Luke 21:15)  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

 

(Luke 21:16)  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

 

(Luke 21:17)  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

 

(Luke 21:18)  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

 

(Luke 21:19)  In your patience possess ye your souls.

 

(Luke 21:20)  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

 

(Luke 21:21)  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

 

(Luke 21:22)  For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

 

(Luke 21:23)  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

 

(Luke 21:24)  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

 

(Luke 21:25)  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

 

(Luke 21:26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

 

(Luke 21:27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

 

(Luke 21:28)  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

 

(Luke 21:29)  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

 

(Luke 21:30)  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

 

(Luke 21:31)  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

 

(Luke 21:32)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

 

(Luke 21:33)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

 

(Luke 21:34)  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

 

(Luke 21:35)  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

 

(Luke 21:36)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

 

(Luke 21:37)  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

 

(Lukex 21:38)  And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

 

rapture

I will wrap this teaching up by giving a presentation on the rapture which I strongly urge all readers to pray to be ready for because you do not want to miss it and then have to face the seven year tribulations period which will be more terrible than any other time on the earth because you missed the rapture something you did not need to do so please call out to Jesus today so you do not miss this rapture

Rapture         

I will conclude and wrap this teaching up by saying that the way people are now(not too unlike the way they were at Noah’s time and also the time Sodom, which are things which Jesus prophesied about in scriptures in Matthew, Mark and Luke)and all the many other end times signs which are occurring currently(animals dying, food prices rising, wars, rumors of wars, crazy weather and so on) are birth pangs of the coming tribulation period and  sure signs the rapture is not far way, indeed, I still believe that the rapture could be any day at any time, of which the Heavenly Father only knows). So cheer up, your redemption is drawing closer and closer every day that passes. Also please remember that Jesus loves you more than You can possibly know, and also by posting this about the rapture, too, which does duplicate some of the scriptures, but that is for emphasis for the rapture is too important and you absolutely DO NOT want to miss it:

 

                                  THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT!!! ARE YOU READY????

 

            I am very strongly led to believe the rapture is very imminent, and could happen any day at anytime at all. Nobody knows the exact time for the rapture but the Father God Himself. I cannot strongly enough advise all of you to get your hearts right with Jesus by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to you if there is any Sin /iniquity/ uncleanness in your heart, mind etc and repenting of any and all items brought to your mind right away, asking the Holy Spirit to cleanse you and your garments so that they are spotless, being washed by the blood of Jesus. I am a man, needing the blood of Jesus for cleansing as much as everyone else, and believe me I am doing the same thing. This repenting is a continuous process, not just a one time thing; I have found that I myself have been repenting several times throughout the day. I know that it will be God's grace and mercy ONLY that I make the rapture, not anything I do, I am well aware of the fact that grace alone being what saves, and not works lest any should boast, but also faith without works is dead so I am sharing this with everyone, in the hopes that a few, even just one person, would wake up in time, and repent, for the remaining time here is very short.

            I post and share this document for I deeply care for people and DO NOT want anyone to miss the rapture and find themselves left behind to face the 7 year tribulations which will follow the rapture which will be pure a horrific time on earth, the most horrific ever, in fact, where you will have to hide in caves or in mountains, away from all the evil and very selfish people, be an absolute survival expert, which many are not and absolutely refuse at all costs to take the mark of the beast(666).As a result of your refusal to take this mark, you won’t be able to buy or sell anything, work, eat, live in a normal way, and so on, and most likely you’ll be killed for it, but that is far better than taking the mark and ending up in the lake of fire for eternity, as each and every man and woman  who take the mark of the beast will end up in the lake of fire, where there will be absolutely no rest from their torment night or day(Revelation 14).  Even doing all the precautions, hiding by getting away from all population centers and into the mountains, and so on may not be enough because many if not most people, in fact will not survive the judgments that God will pour out on the world in this time period, in the seal, trumpet and bowl judgments as well as the judgment and destruction of the daughter of Babylon. All these events are described in good detail in the book of Revelation in chapters 6 through 18, which I strongly advise all to read. Here is a link an excellent animated video of the entire book of revelation for you to watch

 

 

 The tribulation period of seven years absolutely will make today's evil world seem like life in paradise by comparison. I very strongly suggest reading the book of Revelation chapters 6 through 18 which tell you specifically what sort of events and judgments the world will see during this tribulation period.

Here are some rapture related scriptures:

 (1 Corinthians 15:51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

 

(1 Corinthians 15:52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

 

(1Thessolonians 4:16) For the 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:

 

(1Thessolonians 4:17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

God wants to keep us from this tribulation by His love and mercy Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."  The implication of this verse is obvious:  If the end-time Christian does NOT stay close to the Lord and endure to the end, HE WILL NOT BE KEPT FROM THE TRIBULATION HOUR Revelation 3 verse 10, so it is IMPERATIVE to stay close to the Lord in these last days. 

Now I have a very special warning message to all those who are lukewarm Christians to repent of this condition and to be on fire for Jesus or Jesus will surely spit you out of the rapture(see verse 16, below) and you will go through the seven year tribulation as it says in Revelation 3 14-22. There are FAR TOO MANY are in this condition the Holy Spirit warned me this AM. There are FAR TOO MANY LAODICEANS today. Please REPENT NOW of your lukewarmness and be on fire for the Lord before it is too late and you miss the rapture as a result of your being lukewarm!! Here are the verses in Revelation chapter 3 concerning the Laodicean church:

(Revelation 3:14) And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

 

(Revelation 3:15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

 

(Revelation 3:16) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

 

(Revelation 3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

 

(Revelation 3:18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

 

(Revelation 3:19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

(Revelation 3:20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 

(Revelation 3:21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

(Revelation 3:22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

Summarizing, you MUST all be ready for this coming rapture, AND be on FIRE for Jesus, and not be at all lukewarm but loving Jesus with ALL Your heart, mind and soul as commanded in the bible, in several places in both the old and new testaments. If in case you need to receive the Lord please pray the following prayer (backsliders can also use this prayer to repent of their sin and lukewarmness and recommit their lives, and return to their first love, Jesus. Please do so NOW before it is too late)

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

 

Here are 10 steps that can be of help to be ready for the soon to come rapture:

1. Make sure that you have received Jesus Christ into your life as your PERSONAL Lord and Savior(see the salvation prayer above and use it if need be).

 

2. Examine your own heart for any signs of backsliding, worldliness, unwatchfulness, compromising, and lukewarmness.

 

3. REPENT (Turn COMPLETELY away from sin and turn COMPLETELY around towards Jesus).  Sin separates you from God, even as a Christian.

 

4. Study end-time Biblical prophecy(Daniel 7-12, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, 21, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5, other places but the  book of Revelation in particular)  until you become completely convinced that His Coming is, indeed, AT THE DOOR.  This will help keep you from temptation and sin.  JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!! Lord help me be absolutely convinced YOU ARE at the door!!!!!

 

5. Do something for the Lord.  (Passing out tracts would be a good start.)

 

6. Examine your priorities, lest the CARES OF THIS LIFE cause YOU to MISS THE RAPTURE, as we are so adamantly WARNED about in Luke 21, and so many other Scriptures.

 

7. Draw closer to God by praying, reading His Word, attending a fundamental church as often as possible, and surround yourself with a Christian atmosphere (Christian friends, books, music, radio, TV, etc.)

 

8. PRAY DILIGENTLY.  ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL TO YOU ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT EVEN MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM THE RAPTURE.  PRAY THAT THE LORD WOULD GIVE YOU A PEACE, IF YOU ARE READY, AND AN UNREST AND UNEASINESS IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU ARE NOT READY.

 

9. Listen for His voice and then STAY OPEN TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 

10. Act upon that which the Lord is calling you to do. DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

 

Please also pray and ask the Lord Jesus to see if you are indeed ready and to give you peace if you and If the Lord has planted even the least bit of doubt or uneasiness in your heart, will you swallow your pride and pray this prayer with me:

"Dear Lord, Thank you for preparing a WAY OF ESCAPE from the horrible Tribulation to come.  It is my sincere desire to be ready for your Soon Return, so that I can participate in the Rapture. Give me a COMPLETE PEACE IN MY HEART FROM YOU if I am, indeed, ready. Let there be no false sense of security in my heart concerning my readiness for Your Return.  Begin to reveal to me things in my life and in my heart that might keep me from the Rapture.  Show me what I need to do to BE READY and then give me the power to act upon that which you show me to do.  Draw me away from the world and closer to you every day.  Use me in whatever way you can to help others

who may not be ready for your Return.  Fill me with your peace when I am ready and fill me with YOUR POWER, for victory over sin and temptation, and for effective service for your kingdom.  In Jesus' mighty name, Amen

If, by an unfortunate chance, you are finding yourself reading this testimony after the rapture has happened, and you find that you have missed it, everything is not lost by any means, just please pray immediately to accept the Lord Jesus as savior and /or recommit your life to Him, repenting of anything  and everything that you have done that has caused you to miss the rapture, especially such things as being lukewarm and whatever else you may do during that time absolutely DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST OR YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!!!(taking the mark of the beast means you are essentially married to Satan, the antichrist, the beast and false prophet,  ALL OF WHOM ARE DESTINED FOR THE LAKE OF FIRE, AS ARE ALL WHO TAKE THEIR MARK ON THEIR FOREHEAD OR HAND). IT IS NOT AT ALL FORGIVABLE TO TAKE THIS MARK- so again you must avoid taking this mark AT ALL COSTS you won’t be able to buy, sell, work, and so on, you will have to hide, living in the forest and away from civilization, face jail, torture, and be executed for refusing the mark. If you do die for refusing to take the mark of the beast, if you are Jesus’ you will go to heaven immediately as a tribulation saint and martyr spoken of in the book of revelation. I cannot strongly stress the point enough to NEVER, EVER accept the mark of the beast, no matter what!!!! It will be well worth it to lose everything and everyone in this world, including your life so as  to not have to spend all eternity in hell and the lake of fire, where again there will be never any rest on your torment day or night.
