My Purpose

My purpose in writing this book is not to educate sick people in Scripture or theology.  My purpose is to share the Word of God with you, heart to heart.. I want you to come to know, by experiencing, God as your Healer. I want to forever change your understanding of, and relationship with God.  Then I want that to cause faith to arise in your heart and you to be instantly healed from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

God has shown me people, some of whom have been sick, diseased, in pain, and weak for years being instantly healed as they read this book.

I pray with all of my heart, let it be so, Lord.  Let it be so.  Please use this book to bring healing to all who read it, in Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

When the Lord began to deal with me about writing this book I told Him I would do anything He wants me to do.  But that I didn’t see how I could write anything new on healing.  I said it seems like to me that everything that could be written on healing has already been written.

Chapter One

Foundational Truths

My Purpose

The purpose of this book is not to cover every possible aspect of end time prophecy.  That would require a book of hundreds or even thousands of pages and would potentially take longer than the time we have remaining on planet earth.

The purpose of this book is to open up the end time secrets and mysteries of God unto you, to show you how precisely it all fits together, and how exactly and precisely it describes the world we live in today.

End time prophecy is a lot like gravity.  It doesn’t matter if you believe in gravity, or not.  It doesn’t matter if you scoff at the idea of gravity, or not.  If you go out and jump off of your roof, gravity is going to work for you, gravity is going to happen, whether you believe in it, or want it to, or not.

End time prophecy is exactly the same.  It doesn’t matter if you believe in it or not.  It doesn’t matter if you scoff at the idea of end time prophecy.  It is going to happen just as God has said, whether you believe it, or want it to, or not.

Why are so many people talking about end time Bible prophecy today?  Let me give you a few reasons:

1. The looming world-wide debt crisis which will lead to economic and financial collapse

2. The devaluation of, and the looming collapse of the US dollar

3. The phenomenal rise of world-wide Islamic Jihad and terror attacks in virtually every nation of the world

4. The 9-11 World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks

5. The earthquake and tsunami at Sumatra

6. Hurricane Katrina's catastrophic flooding of the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast states

7. Global warming and other drastic climate change and the repercussions of all of the resulting floods, draughts, crop failures, famines, and killer mega-storms

8. Iran's nuclear bomb and Islamic apocalyptic aspirations (which also creates a continuing oil crises)

9.The constant threat of war in the Middle East.

10. The constant fear of World War III

11. Terrorist plans for dirty nukes on American soil

12. The world -wide oil crisis

13. Potential impacts from near earth objects (comets, asteroids, meteors)

14. China invading Taiwan (who America is avowed to defend)

15. Conflict with North Korea over nuclear missiles capable of striking California

16. World War III

17. HIV virus

18. Hepatitis B virus

19. Avian (bird) flu virus pandemic

20, H1N1 Flu epidemic

21. Ebola virus

22. Zika Virus

23. Overpopulation

24. More killer hurricanes, tornados, floods, brush fires, and earthquakes

26. Terror attacks by bombings, gunfire, vehicle

27. The fear of additional 9-11 type attacks

How soon is Jesus coming?  Let me explain it this way.  I hope I can get this book finished and into people’s hands before it is too late.  I mean this literally and sincerely.

Three Signs Remaining

Time is so short that there are only three signs left to be fulfilled before Jesus returns.  So just what are those three signs?

I Thessalonians 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.

The three remaining signs yet to be fulfilled are:

1. the shout

2. the voice of the arc angel

3. the sounding of the trumpet (shofar) of God.

Once again, I mean this literally and sincerely.

God’s Secrets

When it comes to the issue of end time prophecy, there are two things I hear all the time.

1. No man can know the day and the hour.

2. Jesus’ return will come as a thief in the night.

3. Jesus coming will be as lightning shining from the east to the west.

All three of these statements come from Matthew 24 and we will examine them in greater detail in the chapter dealing with this chapter. But when people quote these verses they take them out of context.  They actually make them say something that they do not say.  If you read on just a verse or two you can see what it is truly saying.  We are expected to be awake, alert, aware, ready, looking for Him, and living as if we truly believe He is just about to come again.

However, you need to understand something about God and His secrets.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

God secrets are not like the secrets of men.  When a man has a secret it is something he wants to keep hidden forever.  He does not ever want anyone to discover his secret. However, when God has a secret it is searchable.  He wants to share it.  But He wants man to care enough about knowing His secrets to search for them, to find them, to explore them, to seek Him for them.

God’s secrets remind me of what Jesus told His disciples when he said,

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?  10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

God doesn’t treat His precious, holy, powerful, life giving truths as if they were common and ordinary.  He does not share them with just everyone.  But, He does share them with those who value them as He does, those who value them enough to seek, search and ask for them.

Times And Seasons

The Bible has much to say about times and seasons.  It makes it immensely clear that God expects us to be aware of and understand them.  We will each be held responsible before God, for knowing, understanding, and living (by the leading and empowering of the Holy Spirit) the times and seasons of God and the times and seasons we are living in right now, today.  God expects and requires us to then live out our faith and relationship with Him with the required sense of urgency that these times demand.

If we truly know, understand, and believe we are living in the last of the last, of the end times; how can it not change the way we live our lives?!

Once again, God expects us to recognize times and seasons we are living in today and to live accordingly.  The night is truly coming when no man can work any longer.

Consider these Scriptures regarding God and His times and seasons.

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.  2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.  3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.  2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.  3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.  4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.  5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

But notice that verse 4 says. the day should overtake you as a thief.  But if you read the whole thing in context, it is not saying that we cannot know the season of the Lord’s return.  What it is saying is that if we are (spiritually) asleep and unaware (of the times and seasons of God) then we will be taken by surprise.  But this verse is actually saying that if we are walking in darkness, then we will not be taken by surprise.  This verse is saying that we can, and furthermore, that we should know the season of the Lord’s return.

God is giving us a big clue God is giving us here.

The Hebrew origins of the phrase times and seasons is the word moedim.  This word is used to refer to the seven feats of the Lord.  The day of the Lord will overtake those who do not know or understand the time they are living in and His prophetic calendar as prophesied and fulfilled in God’s feast days.

Those who are ignorant of the times and season, the feasts of God, may be caught unaware of His return.  To them, and to the unsaved, His coming will be like a thief in the night.  But to them who understand the times and seasons and are looking for His coming, His return will not be as a thief in the night.  Remember, Noah and his family knew exactly when the flood was coming.  It was the religious and the unrighteous who were caught unprepared.  We should not be caught unprepared.  We should know and understand the times and seasons of the Lord and the times we are living in.  Therefore, we will not be caught by surprise.

It is entirely possible for us to know where we are in God’s end time prophecy timeline.  It is entirely possible for us to know the lesson of the feasts of the Lord.  It is entirely possible for us to apply these revelations to the time we are living in.  Not only is it possible, but these verses make it clear that God expects, even requires us to be aware of the times and seasons we are living in.  Let me emphasize this again, even more strongly.  God not only wants and expects; but actually commands us to know the times and seasons.

End Time Prophecy Has Become Current Events

In the time we are living in, end time prophecy has truly and literally become a matter of current events.

When you read about end time prophecy in the Scriptures is easy to allow it to become a sterile and isolated matter of Biblical doctrine.  However, that is not reality.

Reality is that there are real-world political, economic, and military situations and circumstances that are the motivation for world leaders and nations to behave in specific ways.  They are not trying to line up with prophecy.  They are mere; living out their values, beliefs, and priorities.  However, this is exactly what is causing them to unconsciously line up with and fulfill their role in the end time prophecies of Scripture.

In other words, end time prophecy is very real and dynamic part of everyday life in the world we live in today. Bible prophecy has become more and more a matter of real-life, and real-world current events today than most people can see, understand, or realize.

You must completely re-adjust your thinking and attitude in this matter.  End time prophecy is occurring and playing out, exactly as it was prophesied, in the real world around is, every day.  We are living in, and living out end time prophecy every day. The world has begun on a slow a steady path of earthquakes, pestilences, famines, and wars.  As we see all of these things happening in the world, right before our eyes, Bible prophecy becomes more real, vital and important than ever before in the history of mankind on the earth.

Israel and Jerusalem

With the 1948 re-birth of the modern state of Israel, and the 1967 Jewish re-capturing of the city of Jerusalem (Luke 21:24) we have entered into a time the Bible refers to as the end times or the last days. These are the very days that the Bible warns believers to watch for the signs of. These signs are prevalent and demonstrate that the time of the Lord's second coming is near.

Bible Prophecy being fulfilled today focuses mainly on the major end times events, most of which have been fulfilled in just the last generation.

There were 332 Bible prophecies fulfilled by the birth of Jesus Christ (which was His first Coming).  Each and every one of them was exactly, specifically, and precisely fulfilled.  There are more than 500 prophecies dealing with the end times (the second coming of Jesus Christ).  If all 332 prophecies of Jesus’ first coming was fulfilled, then we have 332 reasons to believe that every single one of the end time prophecies will also be exactly, specifically, and precisely fulfilled.

One of the most important prophecies, concerns the re-gathering of the Jewish people from one end of the world into the land God promised to them, the land of Israel. Jewish people today are making what is called Aliyah back to the promised land of Israel. This is in direct fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures of Isaiah 11:10-12 and Ezekiel 36:22-28. At the beginning of 2010 the population of Israel stood at approximately 7.5 million people. Today the land of Israel is a thriving center of Jewish culture, arts, economy, and life.

The Antichrist, Technology, And The One World Government

Some of the other Bible prophecies we are seeing fulfilled before our eyes today focus on the world stage being set to prepare and lay the foundation for the Antichrist’s  future world political ascendancy, military conquest, and economic slavery.

Only in our lifetime have we seen the kind of advances in computer, satellite and broadcast technologies that would be necessary in order to allow for the live simultaneous viewing of major prophetic events at the exact time they are happening.  Yet, it is also this same technology also allows for the worlds masses to be continuously politically and religiously monitored in order to facilitate a One World Government as foretold by the book of Daniel.

The prominence and power of the United Nation and other global organizations in the world today is laying the foundation for the fulfillment of prophecies that were once considered merely symbolic.

The Bible specifically predicts that the whole world will see the two witnesses of God lying dead in the streets of Jerusalem for three and a half days before being miraculously resurrected and called up to Heaven.  Only with the development of modern day satellite technology has made this prophecy able to be literally fulfilled.

Bible prophecy was not put on hold during what is now known as the church age.  Burt rather, the apostle Paul’s revelation of the mystery and Jesus; prophecy of the fulfillment of the time of the gentiles have both been fulfilled.  Then the focus of Bible prophecy is shifting back to Israel again.

End Times And God’s Perfect Plan For Of Redemption

End time prophecy foretells how God completes his perfect plan for the redemption of mankind.   That’s why end time Bible prophecy is so important and why it is so well worth the effort to pursue, and understand it; as it foretells the future in advance.

A Roadmap To Faith

Bible prophecy provides a clear roadmap of what we can expect in the future while it also provides
