ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

All glory and thanksgiving to The Holy Three-In-One, who are the same, and who have at diverse times appeared to me, to assign and equip me for the writings:

To The Father, God Almighty, and Creator in Heaven, the One and only True God, and

To The Begotten Son Of The Father, Yeshua, The Messiah, the Redeemer and Giver of eternal life, The Lamb, The Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Ransom for deliverance, The Branch, Anointed King and Priest over the coming Kingdom of God on Earth, (John 3:16, Zechariah 6:12-13, Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5-6, 1 Corinthians 1:30), and

To The Holy Spirit my Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Sustainer, Companion, Guardian, Teacher, Instructor and Revealer of the deep things, even the very mind of The Father and of The Son unto me, (John 14:16-17, John 14:26, John 15:26, John 16:7-11, Revelation 5:6).

I also want to sincerely thank my wife and children for their love, patience and encouragements, whilst The LORD has been working with me on the writing of this and other end time books, as well as the End Time Bible, (ETB), the Bible for Today (BT), and other assignments.

As before, I cannot acknowledge enough, all those, too many to list here, who have each been a source of great encouragement to me. The LORD God knows you all by name in His Book of Life, where the names of those who are His for eternal life are written, (Revelation 20:15).

I did not dream, imagine or even desired to write a book. Not one ever. And now, this is the seventh book on the end time, apart from the two bible translations, the End Time Bible (ETB), and the Bible for Today (BT). These have been possible only by the special Grace of God, through my LORD Yeshua The Messiah, who created and assigned me for this purpose. He called me at the appointed time to do the work in this generation. My contribution has been to yield when He called. And He made all the rest possible. The faithfulness and counsel of God stood firmly, despite all the strong oppositions of the evil one! And to God be all the glory.

The love of God and of The LORD for us as humans cannot be described. Too deep, too high and too wide. And it has been from before He created us. This He told me face to face by Himself in the presence of His beloved begotten Son. The fact that we are mere dust even further makes the angels to continue to marvel why He is so mindful of us. And as it is written: No eye has seen. No ear has heard. And it has not yet entered into the heart of mankind, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. (Isaiah 64:4, Isaiah 52:15, 1 Corinthians 2:9).

It is my prayer that the words, love, and the plans of The LORD for the end time which He has revealed and are recorded in these end time books will fulfill their purpose. For as He did to Noah before the flood, and to Abraham before the end of Sodom and Gomorrah, God is also now revealing ahead to us, to know of what is soon to happen in this generation, (Genesis 6:13-14, Genesis 18:17-19). This is so that we may be fully prepared, and may we be. For His return will be sudden, like a thief in the night, (1 Thessalonians 5:2). May the love, mercy and grace of God the Father through His Son, the Messiah and Lamb, and the power of His Holy Spirit be with each and every one in Him. Amen!

Introduction

This Book "Signs And Sequence Of The End Time Events" provides detailed and easy to understand summary of the Signs And Sequence in which the events of the end of times will happen. This is as prophesied in the Scriptures and confirmed with the various revelations and visions received by the writer.

God does not ever abandon those who are His own. He forewarns, guides and protects them. And He will do so in the end time. So God’s children should not be afraid. This is explained in Chapter 2.

For those who do not yet have a one-on-one relationship with The LORD, Chapter 3 is focused on how to become God’s child and enjoy His love and many blessings. This is regardless of your past lifestyle, sins, religion or no religion. God forgives the past and remembers them no more when we come to Him. The Chapter also addresses the need of those who were once His Children, but have backslidden and want to restore, renew and strengthen their relationship with The LORD.

The end time is not all about gloom, doom and disasters as some people think. And some others think it is about exchange and accumulation of worldly wealth for the believers. Even if it were, and is not, these perish. There are far greater reasons and rewards, why every believer in The LORD should be excited about the end time. Chapter 4 summarizes some of the many Benefits Of The End Time for the believer who endures to the end.

The second coming of The LORD is explained in Chapter 5. This second coming will happen after Rapture of The Saints to Heaven. The LORD will physically come, with His Saints to the earth to rule and reign for a millennium.

Looking at the fig tree provides clues about the season, what time of the year it is. In the same way, the notable signs of the end are collectively used like the fig to provide warning of the imminent coming of The LORD. The similarities are explained in Chapter 6 The Fig Tree Analogy Of Signs Of The End.

The Destruction Of The Temple, Jerusalem and Judea as prophesied by The LORD had already happened, in 70AD. More than 1,950 years ago. This was certainly not part of the signs of the end time. However, it is very significant. For it provides the reference point of the fulfillment of the gap between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel’s prophesy. And the ending of that starts the end time. These are explained in Chapter 7 The Destruction Of The Temple, Jerusalem and Judea.

The false-prophets, false-messiahs or false-christs in the end time will represent the greatest source of danger. There will be more danger from false prophets, than the destruction of natural disasters or pandemics. The false prophets are already operating in some Churches all over the world. Their method of operation is quite different diverse, shocking and shameless. And yet many still follow them. The Signs Of The False Prophets And Messiahs are described in Chapter 8.

The Wheat, The Tare, And The False Prophets are described in Chapter 9. The Chapter, explains how to identify false-prophets. For while the contractions of the end time birth-pains for the world will be on going, the false-prophets will continue to arise or operate to deceive many people.

As significant as the birthpains for the world will be, the world will not end on account of the birth pains. The birth pang events will start one after the other and then all continue to run in parallel. They will happen as part of the process, the early warning signs that the end is approaching. But the end is still sometime away, though no one know how long. The beginning of The Signs Of Initial Birth Pains for The Earth is described in the Chapter 10.

Another Sign or clue of The End Time, which The LORD gave us to know His coming is near, is the similarities or Parallels in behavior, passion and priorities of the people in this generation when compared with those of the days of Noah and of Lot. Chapter 11 describes The Signs of The Similarities in this end time, compared to what happened in The Days Of Noah And Of Lot.

Chapter 12 focuses on The Signs that will occur Among The Community Of Believers. These are signs which relate specifically to the Community of Believers, The Church, The Saints or Body Of The LORD.

The Signs among the community of believers continue in Chapter 13. It explains The Four Groups or categories of people that will make up the Church in the end time. These four categories of believers now exist in the Church today. This is another reminder or sign that we are entering the end of time. The chapter explains what will happen to each group when The LORD returns. Not all of them will be saved.

Chapter 14 Explains The Firstfruits Before The Main Harvest

The Firstfruits is the pre-sampling before the main harvest. God as The Farmer of Souls on Earth will pre-sample His harvest with The Firstfruits. This will happen before Rapture of The Main Church and The Second Coming Of The LORD. The Firstfruits, as the term signifies, will involve only a token. This special Firstfruits event will however, trigger a wakeup call for all the Church and make them ready for the main harvest to come.

There will also be specific Signs directly relating to Jerusalem And Judea. These are described in Chapter 15.

And there will be global distresses. Chapter 16 describes The Signs of Global Distress in the end time.

Due to the various signs and distresses, people will be going all over the places in search for a savior, a Messiah, to come to their rescue because of the distress everywhere. The Sign of People Searching For The Messiah is described in Chapter 17.

The heavenly signs that will happen in the end time are described in Chapter 18 The Signs In The Heavens And The Trumpet Sound.

Apart from the book of Matthew or Luke where The LORD spoke about the end time, there are other books of the Bible. The book of Isaiah is another place of the Bible that is filled with so many prophesies relating to the end time. Prophet Isaiah also gave many prophesies concerning the end time, resurrection or eternity. He prophesied about the coming end time distress or anguish on earth, the heavenly signs and of the falling angels. These are explained in Chapter 19 The Signs In Heaven And Book Of Isaiah

The Blowing Of The Seventh Trumpet is the Trumpet for The Church. The start of the sounding of the seventh Trumpet, is also the start of the call to battle. This is the end time battle between the Saints and The Antichrist. It will be a time of great tribulation and distress, all over. And also a time of purification, and testing of the Saints before Rapture. It will last for three and half years. These and more are explained in Chapter 20 The Blowing Of The Seventh Trumpet.

Rapture is the main harvest, which will consists of the bulk of The Church, Jews and Gentiles alike who are in the Messiah. It is explained in Chapter 21 Rapture Comes Before The Second Coming.

Over the years, some Sects have been wrongly misleading people to believe that only 144,000 will be saved or qualified to go to heaven in the end time. This is very wrong, and unscriptural. Chapter 22 explains in detail about The Two groups of 144,000 And The Multitude of other believers that will be saved in the end time.

Chapter 23 The Holy Spirit And The Saints In The End Time When The Antichrist arises and during the great tribulations: Will the Holy Spirit still be on earth or gone away? Will the believers still be here on earth or heaven? Chapter 23 focuses on providing answers to these and other questions, which are widely misunderstood among believers.

Before rapture, there will be the great tribulation of the Saints. Why will God allow The Saints to go through the great tribulation? And why will He allow The Saints to be defeated by the Antichrist? This event, including the objective or purpose are explained, in Chapter 24 The Great Tribulation Comes Before Rapture God in His wisdom, has allowed Satan, along with some of the bad angels and demonic spirits, to roam around instead of being chained in hell. Why is Satan still able to roam around. The purpose and Role of Satan, His Principalities And Powers are explained in Chapter 25.

What will happen immediately after the Millennium reign. These are explained in Chapter 26 Satan And Gog of Magog After The Millennium Death And The Two Resurrections are explained in Chapter 27.

Chapter 28 explains The New Heaven, New Earth And New Jerusalem. And Chapter 29 explains the real reason for The New Beginning.

Chapter 30 is the Conclusion. And a short Appendix of some other relevant Scriptures is provided.

CHAPTER 2

Becoming God’s Child Despite Your Past

It is useless to know about the signs of the end time, without knowing or having a relationship with God. For only those who are of God, who are children of God, and fully obedient to Him will make it to heaven and be with God. Those who have no relationship with God cannot expect to be with Him. There is a saying that only birds of the same feather flock together. And this is true of God. There must be a Father-child relationship.

So our focus here is about how you or someone you know can become a child of God regardless of their past sins, or current religion or no religion. About how you can have a one on one relationship with God as your father. You becoming a child of God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, through His only begotten Son, Yeshua The Messiah, (also known by others as Jesus Christ). This chapter is also for those who want to renew their relationship with The LORD and to grow strongly in Him.

Many Millions and Billions of people, will be made ready through the end time evangelism. And powerful move of The Holy Spirit. They will receive salvation, and be delivered. They will be part of the harvest for God’s Kingdom, in The End Time of this generation. And they will come from various nations; ethnic groups and tribes; peoples and tongues; as well as races or colors and backgrounds, (Matthew 24:14 and Revelation 7:9).

Our focus here is about how you or someone you know can become a child of God regardless of the past sins, or current religion or no religion. We will pray together in the end.

The Reason:

But before then, I want to first explain, for us to understand the significance and why we need to do it. Everyone has an end time. Either through death which happens to many everyday, at night or day time. Or the end comes when The LORD returns. And none of us has control over when either of these will happen. We can make amend while we still have breath of life in us.

First, let us understand that everyone, without exception, is a sinner. Here is what The Bible says, Romans 3:23:

For all have sinned and fallen short of the standard of the glory of God, [Romans 3:23, End Time Bible, ETB].

What does this mean?: It simply means everybody is a sinner. This is without exception! No matter how good the person may appear to be. And no one is qualified or can make it on their own or by any other human being, to the level that is acceptable or pleasing God.

And Why is Everyone a Sinner? How did this come about. Did God create us this way as sinners? No!.

This is how it happened. The Origin: Sin and the nature of sin came on all of us, after creation, through Adam. Because we are all descendants of Adam. The first man created by God, and we were born with his seed in us. Adam and Eve knowingly disobeyed God’s command. They sinned and took on the sinful nature from Satan, (Genesis 3:1-7).

They exchanged their original righteous, sinless state from God, for the sinful state from Satan. And that sinful nature is inherited, is passed on automatically, to all their descendants. And all human beings, everyone, descended from Adam and Eve.

And the Bible also tells us the punishment for their disobedience, was death, (Genesis 2:16-17):

And The LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree in the garden you may freely eat. 17 However, there is one exception. You are not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because in the day that you eat of it you will certainly die", [Genesis 2:16-17, End Time Bible, ETB].

Here is what The Bible says about sin, (Romans 6:23):

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in The Messiah Yeshua our LORD", [Romans 6:23, End Time Bible, ETB].

So the end result of every kind of sin, not repented from is death!

We are born, with the covering or DNA of a sinful nature we inherited. So the punishment of death, was also passed unto us because of this inherited sinful nature.

This death is not only physical. But also spiritual. The complete loss of eternal life with God. A situation where the body dies physically and then the soul spends eternity in the lake of fire.

Sickness, aging and physical death came as a result of sin. They are like signs that serve as reminders of what sin does. The sinful nature or sin allows Satan to continue to legally accuse and lay claims on peoples’ soul.

But God, not wanting us to perish, has made a way out. For everyone to be free of Satan’s power. And also for everyone of us, to avoid eternity in the lake of fire.

So what is The Solution?

From the beginning, God pronounced the judgment of death, as the penalty or consequence of sin. This is not reversible. It must be fulfilled.

If it were possible, perhaps another person could have volunteered and come forward and died on our behalf. But the reality is that everyone is a sinner and everyone is condemned to death, on a death row. So no one, no other human being, is qualified to rescue us. To take our place and fulfill the punishment of death hanging on all of us, born or would be born. And neither can animals do it for us.

So to save us, and fulfill that penalty of death, God came in the form of His Only begotten Son, Yeshua, as the Messiah, (or Jesus Christ), to die on our behalf. To set us free. For us to have total and complete forgiveness. And to have eternal life, instead of eternity in lake of fire.

The Bible tells us in Romans 3:24-25 that everyone is made righteous, freely and completely without any guilt before God, by His grace, through the redemption that is in The Messiah Yeshua. He became our sacrifice who died for us.

So we receive God’s grace, the undeserved merciful loving kindness of God, through His begotten Son, Yeshua The Messiah. He became the sacrificial LAMB of God, who was sacrificed, died on the cross, to take our sins away. The blood of animals or bulls could not do it! And Abraham’s sacrifice on mount Moriah (as recorded in Genesis 22) was just a shadow of what God later did for us through His own begotten Son.

Now God’s condition for anyone to be forgiven their sins and set free, is for us to willingly accept Him. To Confess our sins and accept Him as our savior. As the one who has taken our place of death, to redeem us!

Everyone is free to accept God’s forgiveness and have eternal life. Or reject it.

Those who refuse Him, can choose to carry on as they are. But eventually, they will die physically. And also their souls will spend eternity in the lake of fire. They will not have eternal life. They suffer the two deaths, physical and eternal death!

The Bible tells us there is no other way to be saved or to go to heaven except through Yeshua The Messiah, (Acts 4:12 and John 14:6):

There is no salvation through anyone else! For no other name, has been given under heaven to mankind, through which we can be saved, [Acts 4:12, End Time Bible, ETB].

Yeshua answered him: I
