Final Warning

By Rev Daniel W Blair

If God's plan is to bring the Church through the Great Tribulation are you prepared to stand firm and not worship the beast, his image, and take his mark? Reverend Daniel Blair writes the Final Warning with passion and conviction that time is running out and the time to prepare for the Great Tribulation is now. Blair gives compelling evidence that the new Global City is already being built by the beast of worldly power to enslave the nations by teaching them to follow his godless agenda.
Reverend Blair asserts that the image of the beast is already being worshiped and the mark taken by millions, who are completely unaware of their eternal consequences. You are invited to join him in an unforgettable journey to the edge of extinction to witness all the plagues, woes, and wrath of God as they are being poured out upon the Global City. And then he carries you to the threshold of hell to imagine the horror of eternal torment. This is a whirlwind of a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A must read for anyone concerned about the future.

Final Warning

Because the hour of His judgment has come

Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself (Ezekiel 33:5)

INTRODUCTION

This is a final warning to everyone living in the world that the hour of His judgment is coming and the wrath of God is being poured out on all ungodliness. For years this has been referred to as the Great Tribulation. Many tell us that the Great Tribulation is future and that born again Christians can expect a secret rapture that will deliver them just in the nick of time before things get too bad. Things are already bad and getting worse by the minute. The world is swirling around going ever deeper into an abyss of wickedness and depravity. The church has long since stopped its influence and has sat idly by watching the world’s decline into a depth of gross immorality. Many in the church have taken on the mantle of the world following its teachings, its entertainment, its enjoyments, its personality and its attitude toward life.

It is the position of this author, and I believe the most biblical position that the rapture will not be secret, because every eye shall see Christ when He magnificently returns in glory. The Bible says, For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left (at the conclusion of the Great Tribulation) will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). Friends, this return is anything but secret! I can only imagine the fear that will strike the hearts of the unbelievers as they gasp for air and fall to their knees in submission. For Christ’s galactic return to earth is to punish those who have not remained faithful to Him during the Great Tribulation and to cast the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire.

Many Christians are duped into believing that all they need to do is to sit leisurely by and wait for this secret rapture to occur. They are completely blind to the fact that they are living in the midst of the Great Tribulation and the forces arrayed against them are formidable. The pressure to capitulate our faith is intense. And as we shall see many of these attacks are subversive and under the cloak of deception. The Bible says the powers of the beast (or the Anti-Christ) is so strong and powerful that if possible the very elect will be led astray. (See Matthew 24:24.) This is a warning for both the Christian and the pagan who live amongst us, for everyone will be judged and all will go through the Great Tribulation coming upon the world.

The outline of this little book is taken from the Book of Revelation and specifically from the final warning given by the three angels to all those living on the earth during the Great Tribulation. The Final Warning of the First Angel is covered in the first section of the book, which gives the initial preparation for standing firm during the Great Tribulation. In the First Chapter a plea is made to believe the eternal gospel before it's too late. A gospel planned from eternity past to translate you from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light, to make you into a new creation, and give you the gift of eternal life. In these confusing days the simple gospel and the way of the cross is a breath of fresh air. Especially to those who are suffocating from all the voices of other world religions and vain philosophies.

In the next Two Chapters a final warning is given to respond properly to the eternal gospel by fearing God and giving Him the glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. A description is given of the plagues and wrath of God being poured out on all ungodliness. This will generate a new godly fear while discovering a renewed strength in His providential care. We live in an amazing day where fallen humanity glories in his own accomplishments. In this next chapter we re-discover many practical ways to give God the glory through such things as our spiritual growth, personal relationships, and worship.

In Chapter Three we will discuss why it is imperative to worship God as the Creator. To do so leads you to develop a biblical worldview that completely sets you apart from the rest of the world. It opens your eyes to the unseen world and the powerful forces arrayed against God’s good creation and how God’s sovereign control currently restrains lawlessness until the time He decides to remove the restraint.

In the next section of the book the Second Angel proclaims his Final Warning to the new Global City, Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the great. We shall prove in this little book that the Global City of man is already being built and is headed up by the beast of worldly power. We meticulously detail the characteristic of the new Global City showing how it is being built on the same crumbling foundations of Ancient Rome. As the Great City goes global it produces a new world economy, a new world philosophy of tolerance, a new secular worldview, a new world democracy, a new world religion in disguise, and a new world order linking the entire world together in a common collective using the Internet. In Part II of the Destruction of the Global City a detailed account of its destruction will be unveiled. The final bowls of God’s wrath and His ensuing plagues are unleashed upon the Global City to such an extent that, When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her (Revelation 18:9). Christians are warned not to participate in the Global City.

The Third Angel sounds his Final Warning to those who worship the beast, his image, and take his mark. In Chapter Seven we see that the stage is already set for the beast (or the Anti-Christ) to cause every tongue, people, tribe and nation, whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, to worship him, his image, and take his mark. The shocking description of the beast, his image and his mark will surprise even the devout Christian. We will demonstrate that many in the world, completely unaware, are already worshiping the image of the beast and taking his mark. This is the final warning, because the hour of His judgment has come!

In the next chapter the Angel continues his Final Warning of the pending judgment and eternal torment. A graphic description of eternal torment is given which is both terrifying and chilling. During the Great Tribulation fallen humanity will experience a small measure of this eternal torment as a foretaste of things to come. Not everyone will heed the warning in this little book, but will continue to worship the beast, his image, and take his mark by doing so there will be irreversible consequences.

In the Final Section of this little book we give a final word to the Saints who are faithful and obedient to remain patient during the Great Tribulation. This will help you to stand firm and come off victoriously from worshiping the beast, his image, and taking his mark. Finally, the special blessing along with a description of the eternal city of God will delight your heart and have you crying out – Victory, Victory at last!

My hope and prayer is that once your eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit through the reading of this little book you will pass it on to those who need to be snatched from the flames of the coming judgment.

CHAPTER ONE

Final Warning to Believe the Eternal Gospel

Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language and people

Revelation 14:6

Everywhere you look these days there is bad news. Turn on the television or pick up the daily paper and the headlines are full of lawlessness, plagues, epidemics, and pestilence of a biblical proportion. We live in a day when people can lose everything without warning, joining the ranks of the most impoverished, the sick and the dying. Others become refugees crowded into shelters, given prescription drugs, counseled by the professionals and perhaps in time losing all hope. If you are not caught in one of these catastrophes descending upon the planet, then you will still struggle against the increasing crime rate and its effect upon your business or your family. You continue your personal struggle against lawlessness and increased security measures. You are finding it increasingly more difficult to trust your closest friends, your employers, your employees, and especially the State and all of its agencies. Fear has reached an all time high, where many have sought professional counseling and an array of prescription drugs to dull the senses.

As the world comes crashing in on fallen humanity from the many storms in life, many long for a savior to rescue them as they seem to drown in their sorrow and pain. They strain to catch a glimpse of the relief effort coming around the next corner to deliver them from the powerful forces all around them, such as feelings of anxiety, depression, and absolute hopelessness. Many in the world today cry out to their God and wonder why He does not appear to listen to their pleas and lift them out of this cesspool of torment and affliction to set their feet on dry ground of safety and security. Friends, I have good news, God hears your pleas and relief is on the way! He has planned from eternity past to rescue the perishing. We only need to listen and allow God to do what He does best. To rescue the lost and bring them to a place of safety where they can experience His love and forgiveness.

A Gospel for All People

In the Book of Revelation we will look at the three angels who announce the final warning to those who are living on the earth. This angel who is flying in midair within earshot of all humanity is continually proclaiming the good news of salvation for all people. No one is excluded from God’s mercy and grace. This is a gospel for all - to every nation, tribe, language and people. It is a gospel for all men no matter what country they live in, no matter what their race or culture, no matter what their skin color, no matter what language they speak. It is a gospel for all men, women, and children. There are no culture barriers with this eternal gospel. The good news is for everyone.

When this gospel was first preached to the people in Jerusalem, their response of was, What shall we do? And the reply was, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off…" (Acts 2:38-39 italic is mine). In this particular setting many of those who heard the gospel for the first time were from far away. They had come to Jerusalem from every nation under heaven. (See Acts 2:5ff) Furthermore, in their amazement they each heard the gospel in their own language.

Most world religions are unique to a particular race of people in which the religion had originated. The great religions of Hinduism and Buddhism are predominantly among the Asian population, the Islamic religion is primarily among the Arab population, and there are many different tribal religions unique only to their own people. On the other hand, this eternal gospel has been preached and accepted by millions from nearly every people group on the face of the planet. It is truly a gospel for all people.

A Gospel without Beginning or End

Every religion and philosophy in the world can be traced back to its beginning, to some great thinker, prophet, or holy man. Yet the gospel of Jesus Christ is said to be without beginning or without end. This gospel was in the mind of God to save humanity before the creation of the world. It was in the mind of God before time existed. Not only did God know how He planned to save fallen humanity, He also knew who would accept His offer of salvation. Those who are going to be saved have had their names already written in the Lamb’s book of life before the creation of the world; a book that records everyone’s name that is going to be saved. God chose His Son, Jesus Christ to save fallen humanity before the world was created. (See I Peter 1:20) Jesus Christ, also known as the Lamb of God was slain on the Cross of Calvary for the salvation of the world. (See Revelation 13:8b) So great was this salvation it is called the gospel or Good News. Indeed it is good news for fallen humanity. As we shall see only this eternal plan of salvation can restore the broken relationship between God and the crown of His creation – man.

This eternal gospel never
