100 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS FREQUENTLY ASKED

ABOUT THE END OF TIMES AND THE RETURN OF JESUS

1. Why is it important to study the End Times and the Book of Revelation?

Answer: To study what the Bible says about the future, gives us power to overcome in love and power during the most glorious and difficult period of history. Prepares us to actively participate in the eschatological events, under the leadership of Jesus, and correctly interpret its leadership in future global crisis, rather than offend Him (Matthew 11.6). Study the End Times awakens a sense of urgency to the intercession, knowing that our prayers can minimize evil and increase victory. Understand the eschatological passages of Scripture strengthens our confidence in the sovereignty of God, knowing that He is in control of everything and is never surprised (Joel 2.13-14; Zephaniah 2.3; Matthew 11.6; 24.4; Philippians 1:10; Revelation 12:11).

2. The Bible deals with the subject of the End Times?

Answer: Most of the prophets spoke about the future Lord's Day on the events of the Second Coming of Jesus. There are about 150

chapters of the Bible, whose main theme is the End Times.

3. How do we know the eschatological Scriptures were not fulfilled in 70 AD?

Answer: The events in 70 AD are not the fulfillment of most of the details of the biblical passages about the Great Tribulation. For example, Revelation 13 requires a talking image, a mark of the beast, the healing of a mortal head wound, a false prophet and mandatory worldwide worship of the Antichrist. Jesus said that the Great Tribulation would only happen after seeing the abomination of desolation, set in the holy place for exactly 1,290 days, which would result in the threat of death of every human being (Daniel 12:11).

Nothing close to this scenario happened during the first revolt of the Jews against Rome (66-73 AD), when Jerusalem and the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. In the second Jewish revolt against Rome, 500,000 Jews were killed and 100 villages were destroyed (132-135 AD). The number of babies aborted each year worldwide (50

million) exceeds the events of the deaths of 70 AD and the Second World War.

4. What is the Great Tribulation and what is the duration?

Answer: It is the period of time just before Jesus returns to earth (Daniel 12.1, Matthew 24.21-22; Mark 13.19-27). During this period, God will release unprecedented judgments on the Antichrist's empire, as seen in Revelation 6; 8-9. The Great Tribulation will last three and half years (Daniel 7:25; 12.7; Revelation 11.2-3, 12.6, 14, 13.5).

5. The Church will be present on earth during the Great Tribulation?

Answer: Yes, certainly the church will be present on earth during the Great Tribulation. The Bride of Jesus share with him in partnership in this very important time in history, at the height of this era.

6. What is the role or function of the Church during the Great Tribulation?

Answer: The Church will participate in the release of God's judgments, under the leadership of Jesus, through the unification of the prayer of faith (Psalm 149.6-9, Matthew 18.18-19; John 14:12; Revelation 8.4; 22:17). The End Times is the best time of the Church, when will big miracles and supernatural prophetic direction will be

released. Miracles of Exodus and Acts will be multiplied and combined worldwide (Micah 7:15).

7. How do I prepare for these events?

Answer: The key to preparation is consistently studying in prayer what the Scriptures say about the End Times. Jesus called this watch. Daniel received revelation of the prophetic purposes of God for this generation, through diligent study of the matter in God's Word (Jeremiah 29.10-14). He was devoted to a study of lifestyle of the Word of God with prayer and fasting (Daniel 9.2-4) to receive the ability to understand the meaning (Daniel 9:22).

8. How do we know when Jesus is coming, even if He said in Matthew 24:36 that no one knows the day and time?

Answer: Jesus did not say
