THE WORLD IS NOW WARNING OF A COMING APOCALYPSE - GREAT DECEPTIONS AND THE TIME OF TROUBLE TO COME - ARE YOU MAKING THE NECESSARY SPIRITUAL PREPARATION?

For many years God's remnant people have been warning of the coming 'apocalypse' wherein the world would be thrown into utter confusion and chaos. Today we are living in such unparalleled times that even the world at large is now warning of 'apocalyptic' times just ahead of us:

"Ukraine war weighs heavy as apocalyptic mood shrouds Davos - The invasion may have been the beginning of the third world war and our civilisation may not survive it." (source)

"Bank of England governor sounds 'apocalyptic' warning on food shortages - That is a major worry and it is not just a major worry for this country, it is a major worry for the developing world as well. Sorry for being apocalyptic but that is a major concern." (source)

"Brits are being warned of 'apocalyptic' food price rises - A quarter of Britons have resorted to skipping meals as inflationary pressures and a worsening food crisis conflate in what the Bank of England recently dubbed an 'apocalyptic' outlook for consumers." (source)

"JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns an economic 'hurricane' is coming - warning that extraordinary financial circumstances were creating a potential 'hurricane' for the economy." (source)

Luke 21:25-27 ...'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; 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. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.'

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

The signs and troubles in the world today are so great, that even the world cannot hold its peace! The stones are crying out! Just a few years ago, scientists were sounding the alarm that there was a 'high likelihood of civilisation coming to an end by 2050' (source). And of course, we have the United Nations 2030 agenda, whereby they are urgently seeking to gain control over the world's population by 2030. This is because Satan knows his time is now very short and that Jesus Christ is about to return. But instead of warning the world to turn to Jesus Christ to be saved, as this world is about to be destroyed anyway, the leaders and the churches are seeking their own 'solution', which will end up in the enforcement of the mark of the beast.

We know the mark of the beast deception will be concerning the commandments of God, as right after warning the world about the receiving the mark and worshipping the Papal Beast in Revelation 14:9-11, we are told that the 'patience of the saints' is to "keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."

For a study on the mark of the beast, see our page THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS ALL TO DO WITH WORSHIP

The signs show us that we are heading fast towards the time of trouble and return of Jesus Christ. Protests are taking place all around the world. More and more people are getting feb up at the way this world is run and who is going to step in with a "solution" to the world's problems? The Pope, the Catholic Church and the fallen Protestant churches. We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 that just before the return of Christ, Satan is going to use ALL his power with signs and lying wonders to deceive the world, and we show on our page THE DEADLY DELUSION COMING that Satan is going to use THE CHURCHES to fulfil his final deceptions!

So how is your preparation? Can you see the signs? Look at the following solemn quote:

"I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful, and were looking to the time of 'refreshing' and the 'latter rain' to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord, and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble without a shelter! They had neglected the needful preparation, therefore they could not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them to live in the sight of a holy God ... I saw that none could share the 'refreshing,' unless they obtain the victory over every besetment, over pride, selfishness, love of the world, and over every wrong word and action. We should, therefore, be drawing nearer and nearer to the Lord, and be earnestly seeking that preparation necessary to enable us to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. Let all remember that God is holy, and that none but holy beings can ever dwell in His presence." (Christian Experience and Teachings, p.112-113)

Now let me back that up with the Bible:

2 Peter 3:11-12 ...'Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God.'

Ephesians 5:27 ...'That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.'

The foolish virgins didn't make the necessary preparation for the wedding and they were shut out, and the solemn warning of this is that those foolish virgins represent many of God's professed people today. That really should make us sit up and 'examine ourselves to see whether we are in the faith', as the apostle Paul counselled (2 Cor.13:5). The preparation is NOT to be stocking up on food and supplies as that will NOT save us. Yes, having your own garden and growing your own food is GOOD. But the REAL preparation needed is to declare like David ... "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:23-24). The preparation is to put away sin and surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, so that He can clothe us with His righteousness and make us fit and ready for that holy dwelling place with God. FAITH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, that is what we need a preparation in.

Dear friends, all of what is taking place in the world is showing us that the close of human probation is coming. The wars, disasters, violence, wickedness, disease, etc., are all pointing to one thing - the close of probation and return of Jesus Christ, and once Jesus stands up from His mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary, there will be no more chance of repentance and turning to God. Let that sink in for a moment. The time is coming soon, as the signs show us, when there will no longer be a mediator between man and God, as Jesus will end His work in the heavenly sanctuary and prepare to return as King to judge the world. This means that time is running out for us to repent of all our sinful ways and surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, so that He can blot out our sins from the record books, rather than blotting out our names from the book of life. NOW is the time to get ready, as soon it will be too late! Please heed the call! This world is soon to turn to dust. Please don't hold on any longer. Let go and give your life fully to Christ, seeking His righteousness, so that He can save you and give you eternal life.
