Isaiah 40:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.”


Psalm 119:89 New King James Version (NKJV)


ל Lamed


89 Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven.


Isaiah 55:11 New King James Version (NKJV)


11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.


Don't chase after man. Chase after God.



The Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24 & 25)


Matthew 24:36-39 New King James Version (NKJV)


No One Knows the Day or Hour


36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[a] but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.


Why did God compare to the days of Noah?


The Greek and the Hebrew Mindset

The Greek think in a straight line.

The Jews have a cyclical view—You are born, you live, you die, and you live forever.


Noah told his generation that it will soon rain and they laughed and mocked him. Jesus taught as one having authority and the people mocked him, insulted him, spat on him, flogged him and killed him.


Written prophecy and present day prophecy

True prophecy must be fulfilled.


-Barry Smith

-John Hagee

-Chuck Missler

-Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj


Any prophecy given, take it with a pinch of salt. Be very careful with prophecy.


Go to the Word.


Revelation 1:3 New King James Version (NKJV)


Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.


End Times?

End times teaching gives a lot of false alarms.


The coming four blood moons

The bible mentions a blood moon, not four blood moons. Don't bet all your money on the blood moons.


The Antichrist

Has the Antichrist arrived?
-George Bush?
-Barack Obama?

-Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad?

-King Abdullah of Jordan?
-Donald Trump?

-Putin?
-Hitler?
-The Pope?

Men think they knew but they do not know.

The End of the world
Nothing happened in Y2K.


We shift our goal post too often. No one trusts us anymore. That is the truth about our faith.


There is no fixed idea on the interpretation.


Trust the Word of God. Take prophecy with a pinch of salt.


The Test of Prophecy

When prophecy is of future event...


Matthew 24:3-4 New King James Version (NKJV)


The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age


Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.


Matthew 24:4-5 New King James Version (NKJV)


And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.


Jesus warned about false Christ:

-Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church (Moonies)

-Bishop Emmanuel Esezobor

-Marshall Applewhite

-Jim Jones

-David Koresh


Matthew 24:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)


And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a] these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places.

Matthew 24:9 New King James Version (NKJV)


“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.


Matthew 24:11 New King James Version (NKJV)


11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.


Matthew 24:13 New King James Version (NKJV)


13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.


Matthew 7:15 New King James Version (NKJV)


You Will Know Them by Their Fruits


15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.


Matthew 24:42 New King James Version (NKJV)


42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[a] your Lord is coming.


How to watch if you do not know what to watch?


Luke 21:36 New King James Version (NKJV)


36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy[a] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”


Three Lessons from Yeshua

1) Heed the warning

2) Watch

3) Pray


Do not speculate.

In biblical perspective:

Revelation 16:12-16 New King James Version (NKJV)


Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up


12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and[a] of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.[b]


Isaiah 17:3 New King James Version (NKJV)


The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

The Hymn of God's Word
Christ of the Last Days has brought the Age of the Kingdom


Myles Munroe

Kingdom Principles: Understanding the Kingdom


God created the first kingdom in the Garden of Eden. Something went wrong and God had to change His plan.

OT Prophhecy:

Daniel 2:44-45 New King James Version (NKJV)


44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”


Jesus is returning for a kingdom. Jesus is coming back to earth to reign for a thousand years.

Features of Micah's Prophecy

Micah 4:2 New King James Version (NKJV)


Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.


Revelation 11:15 New King James Version (NKJV)


Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed


15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms[a] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

The Millennium - Christ's Rule on Earth

God needs good people, not a corrupt and deceitful people.


Jesus is coming to take over.

Conditions to watch out for:
-The appearance of the third temple;
-Many people still do not know God;
-The antichrist - God has to save you

Then we will all reign with Christ for a thousand years.

Preparing for the last days:
-End time food?
-Shelters?
-Youtube? Some of us are not equiped to know what is the truth and what is not
-Buy land?
-Buy gold?
-Fear?

The Winds of the Spirit

(David Minor)

April 1987


The Spirit of God would say to you that the Wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing thru the land. The church, however, is incapable of fully recognizing this Wind. Just as your nation has given names to its hurricanes, so I have put My name on this Wind. This Wind will be called "Holiness Unto the Lord".


Because of a lack of understanding some of my people will try to find shelter from the Wind, but in so doing, they shall miss my work. For this Wind has been sent to blow thru every institution that has been raised in My Name. In those institutions that have substituted their name for Mine, they shall like cardboard shacks in a gale. Ministries that have not walked in uprightness before me shall be broken and fall.


This is My Wind.


For this reason man will attempt to brand this as a mark of Satan, but do not be misled. This is My Wind. I will cannot tolerate My church in its present form. Nor will I tolerate it. Ministries and organizations will shake and fall in the face of this Wind, and even though some will seek to hide from that Wind, they will not escape. It shall blow against your lives and all around you will appear crumbling, and so it shall.


But never forget this is my Wind, saith the Lord. With tornado force it will come to appear to leave devastation, but the Word of the Lord comes and says, "Turn your face into the Wind and let it blow." For only that which is not of me will be devastated. You must see this as necessary.


A Second Wind


Be not dismayed. For after this, My Wind shall blow again. Have you not read how My breath blew in the valley of dry bones? So shall it breathe on you. This Wind will come in equal force as the first Wind. This Wind too will have a name. It shall be called the "Kingdom of God".


It shall bring My government and order. Along with that it shall bring my power. The supernatural shall come in that Wind. The world will laugh at you because of the devastations of that first Wind, but they will laugh no more. For this Wind will come with force and power that will produce the miraculous among my people and the fear of God shall fall upon the nation. My people will be willing in the day of My power, saith the Lord. In my first Wind that is upon you now, I will blow out pride, lust, greed, competition and jealousy, and you will feel devastated, but haven't you read, "Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven?" So out of your Spirit of poverty I will establish My Kingdom. Have you not read, "The Kingdom of God is in the Holy Ghost?" So by My Spirit, My Kingdom will be established and made manifest.


You know also, there will be those who shall seek to hide from this present Wind and they will try to flow with the Second Wind. But again, they will be blown away by it. Only those who have turned their face to the present Wind will be allowed to be propelled by the second Wind.


The church of this nation cannot contain my power in its present form. But as it turns to the Wind of the Holiness of God, it shall be purged and changed to contain My Glory. This is My judgment that has begun at the house of God, but it is not the end. When the second Wind has come and brought in My harvest, then shall the end come.


Preparing for the End Times

In His last move, God uses everyone.


Your faith must be anchored in Christ.


Matthew 24:24 New King James Version (NKJV)


24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.


Matthew 25:13 New King James Version (NKJV)


13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour[a] in which the Son of Man is coming.


1 Peter 4:7 New King James Version (NKJV)


Serving for God’s Glory


But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.


Matthew 24:42-43 New King James Version (NKJV)


42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[a] your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.


Prepare for the return of Christ.


Prepare like a bride preparing for the bridegroom to come.


Matthew 24:42-44 New King James Version (NKJV)


42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[a] your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
