Wrath of God (CW80)

  World War 3 is at Hand

Wrath of God

Rev 16:1  Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth."

    The 7 bowls of the wrath of God and the 7 trumpets in Rev 8-9 are parallel representations of the same apocalyptic events. They complement each other for a better understanding of the judgment that will befall those left behind after Rapture.

Rev 8:1-2  When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

Coming Events

4th Seal - World War 3 and natural disasters (Mat 24:6-8)

5th Seal - Wrath of Satan  with tribulation and martyrdom of saints (Mat 24:9-28)

6th Seal - Great Heavenly Blackout preceding Rapture (Mat 24:29-31)

7th Seal - Wrath of God/Lamb with the 7 bowls/trumpets upon all those left behind having the mark of the beast '666'

Note the Tribulation (Wrath of Satan) is before Rapture but the Wrath of God is after Rapture.

1st Bowl/Trumpet on Earth

Rev 16:2  So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

    Plague of repulsive sores caused by toxic fumes and gas emitted from wildfires that ravage a third of the world's vegetation.

Rev 8:7  The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

The rest of Bowls/Trumpets

2nd Bowl/Trumpet on Sea

Rev 16:3  Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

    Plague upon a third of the sea turning it into blood kills everything within the affected area.  (Rev 8:8-9)  

3rd Bowl/Trumpet on Water

Rev 16:4-7  Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood...

    Plague upon a third of fresh water turning it into blood for those who shed the blood of His saints and prophets. (Rev 8:10-11 )

4th Bowl/Trumpet on the Sun

Rev 16:8-9  Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

    Plague on the sun causes intense heat to scorch men and to darken the celestial bodies.  (Rev 8:12)  

5th Bowl/Trumpet on Throne of the Beast

Rev 16:10-11  Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

    Plague on the throne of Satan will cause men to be tormented from sores, which are as painful as the stings of scorpions. Men choose death but death flees from them.  (Rev 9:1-11)  

6th Bowl/Trumpet on River Euphrates

Rev 16:12-16  Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up... And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

    The four angels with two hundred million horsemen (angels) will kill a third of mankind that bears the mark of the beast. (Rev 9:13-16)

7th Bowl/Trumpet on the Air

Rev 16:17-21  Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

   At the 7th bowl, God has completed His work and has laid the path for Jesus to establish His Millennium Rule on earth.

Rev 11:15-19  Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!".

Rapture (CW79)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Great Heavenly Blackout

Mat 24:29  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken."

    The fifth seal (Mat 24:9-28) is the period of tribulation for Christians where they were persecuted and many martyred.

   Immediately after the great tribulation, there will be a great earthquake worldwide, when everyone will be forced to flee from their buildings into the open.

    Our Lord Jesus will then cover the earth from the solar system and the universe. When the moon cannot receive any light from the sun, it will immediately turn blood red and then black and this will be seen by all.

    As the whole sky becomes completely black, many tiny lights appeared in heaven. As they grow bigger they look like stars, which seem to fall to earth as figs falling from the trees.

Rev 6:12-13  I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

Sign of the Son of Man

Mat 24:30  Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

   As the stars become bigger and bigger we can make out that they are actually the heavenly host of angels descending from heaven in glory. At the same time, there will be the sounding of trumpets in the heavens that can be heard everywhere on earth.

    As these stars become bigger and bigger, the trumpets sound gets louder and louder. Then all eyes will see our Lord Jesus Christ coming in the clouds in power and great glory.

    At the sounding of the last trumpet, the dead in Christ will be raised in their new incorruptible  bodies to meet the Lord in the cloud.

I Cor 15:51-53  Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Rapture of Elects

Mat 24:31  "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

    At the sounding of the last trumpet (no connection with the seven trumpets in Rev 8) the dead in Christ (including OT saints e.g Abel, Enoch, Noah, Samuel, Daniel, etc.) will rise first follow by His elect (overcomers), to meet the Lord in the cloud and be with Him forever.

1Thess 4:16  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

God's Wrath upon those Left Behind

Rev 6:12,16b-17  I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood...  "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

   The majority of those left behind at rapture would have taken the mark of the beast 666. They will have to face the 7th Seal - the wrath of God/Lamb with the 7 trumpets/bowls judgments.

Rev 14:9-10a  Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God,

The Wrath of Satan (CW78)

  World War 3 is at Hand

Satan Cast Down to Earth

Rev 12:9,12b  So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him... Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

    Finally, Satan will be cast out from heaven and cast down to earth. He will pour out his wrath by intensifying his deception of all mankind including faithful Christians, who, fortunately are led and protected by God.

False Angel of Light

2Cor 11:14  And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 

   As a fake angel of light, he will deceive all mankind by the following actions:-

1. After Satan has been cast down to earth, he will immediately incarnate to become the Iranian new Ayatollah, Mahdi or Saviour (End-time Antichrist) and with his Satanic powers he delivers Iran from the mighty West.

2. Having conquered Israel, he will get the Muslims to remove the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome on the Rock for the rebuilding of the Temple of God.

After World War 3

3. For the sake of deceiving mankind, the Antichrist will project himself as a good, merciful, loving, caring and godly king with his ministers honest, righteous, approachable, helpful and trustworthy.

4. He will sign the 7 year treaty for all Israelites to migrate back to Israel and Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple for the 'One World Religion'.

5. Introduction of the Mark of the Beast '666' for all mankind as members of the 'One World Order'

6. All mankind will hate and persecute Christians for boycotting the 'One World Religion' which rejects the divinity of Jesus. (Please read Mat 24:9-14)

Mat 24:9   "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake."

The Great Tribulation

Mat 24:15, 21   "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),.. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be."  (Please read Mat 24:15-28)

   Abomination is Satan, idolatry and whatever is abominable in the Bible.

   Desolation is complete destruction of Christian's faith in God, Jesus, His words, promises and teachings.

    In the last days, the Abomination of Desolation is the End-time Antichrist (Satan incarnate), instead of any abominable idol.

7. At the dedication of the Temple of God (Holy place) just as in the days of King Solomon (:-

i) all the sacrifices offered by the Antichrist (Abomination of Desolation) will be burnt by the fire from heaven.

2 Chron 7:1   When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

ii) when the glory, cloud and lightning that entered the Temple begins to clear, the whole world will witness in their handphones of TVs, the Antichrist seated on the mercy seat in the Temple of God proclaiming himself god.

iii) The Priesthood and unlearned Christian leaders will immediately bow down to worship the Antichrist as god

iv) Unlearned Christians who bow down to the Antichrist will lose their salvation condemning themselves to damnation.

Rapture is after the Great Tribulation

Mat 24:29   "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken."

    Brethren, the Wrath of Satan or Period of Tribulation (5th Seal) is allowed by God on Christians to birth overcomers which ends at Rapture (6th Seal).  After Rapture will be the Wrath of God (7th Seal), which is the punishment of all those left behind having the mark of the beast '666'.

Building Up Our Faith (CW77)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Told you beforehand

Mark 3:23  "But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand."

    Our Lord Jesus told us the end time prophecies so that when we see them being fulfilled one by one, we can then walk by faith in His words or prophecies and not by sight.

John 14:29  "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe."

Jesus' End-time Signs

 Mat 24:3  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?"

    Brethren, our Lord carefully taught His disciples giving great detail in Mat 24, so that we can enjoy His end time teachings. As each sign is being fulfilled, our faith in Him, His words and prophecies will slowly increase till we begin to look forward to the next sign to be fulfilled. By the time the temple of God is completed, we will be ready to face the Great Tribulation.

 

Prophecies Fulfilled

1993  Plo-Israel Peace Treaty started the Last Generation and also the 1st Seal with the deception of Jews and Christians worldwide.

1994  Rwandan Genocide fulfilled the 2nd Seal with half a million killed within 3 months (did not affect Jerusalem)

1997  Since the Asian Financial Crisis or 3rd Seal, the gap in income has been growing rapidly yearly and the coming food crisis or famines (did not affect Jerusalem).

2000 or Y2K  where many Christians thought that our Lord Jesus had delayed His coming.

Prelude to World War 3

Dan 11:29-30a  "At the appointed time he (Northern king) shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. For ships from Chittim shall come against him."

    This final End-time War when Iran (the Northern king) attacks Israel and/or its allies (the Southern king), the ships from Chittim (Western Nations) will help Israel.

   On 13th April 2024, when Iran and its allies sent their missiles and drones to attack Israel, ships from US and UK (the West or Chittim) stationed in the Red Sea immediately sent their fighter jets and missiles to destroy almost all of them,

Prophecies to be fulfilled soon

World War 3 - the 4th Seal or 'kingdom against kingdom' with the natural disasters of plagued, earthquakes, etc. killings 1/4 of mankind. During this time of extreme suffering, many will be saved because of the love and care of Christians and the divine provisions and healings. A time when the new converts are properly discipled to face the coming deceptions of the Antichrist or 5th Seal. This will fulfill the period of the beginning of sorrows in Mat 24:4-8.

Period of Tribulation

Mat 24:9  "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake."

   After WW3 - the 5th Seal, a time when the whole world including unlearned Christians, will be deceived by the Antichrist and his false prophets (10 kings).

1. Rapid recovery from wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.,

2. One World Religion formed to prevent future religious wars,

3. Dome on the Rock and Mosque removed by Muslims themselves,

4. Temple of God to be built by Jewish leadership so that God can rule this world,

5. Saints martyred resulting in the preaching of the gospel to all.

    As the temple of God is being built, this will be a difficult time for Christians. Unless Christians are properly discipled according to our Lord Jesus teachings, they will not be able to overcome the deceptions of the Antichrist.

    Because of the success of the great deceptions of the Antichrist, watchful and learned disciples will have to go underground to worship the Lord. The world will persecute and execute all Christians going against the doctrines of the 'One World Religion' which denies the divinity of our Lord Jesus and the power in the blood of the Lamb.

Note  This is only the Tribulation (Mat 24:9-14, with the Great Tribulation yet to come.

Walk by Faith (CW76)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Perfection of our faith

James 2:22  Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

There are three levels of faith, with the lowest being:

1. Seeing is Believing.

Men only believe what they see, including disciples of Jesus.

John 20:29  Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

2. Not seen and yet Believe

1 Pet 1:6-9  In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

3. Faith in His words and not sight

2 Cor 5:6-8  So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

    When we walk by faith and not by sight, we are spiritual and are no longer interested in our earthly lives but set our minds on the eternal future with the Lord.

Phi 1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Perfect Faith of Apostle Paul

Roman 8:37-39  Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    With our faith perfected, we can overcome by rejecting the Antichrist on the mercy seat as god and discount all his signs and lying wonders as demonic.

God Gives More Grace (CW75)

     World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Jam 4:6  But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

    What are these more or extra grace that He will give to us on condition that we are humble.

Predestination of Saving Grace

Eph 1:3-4, 7  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will...In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

    God before the foundation of the world had already destined that the Word was to be made flesh (in the Person of Jesus Christ) for the salvation of all men (not angels).

Note -there are two fallen creations - men and the fallen angels.

God's Plan of Salvation

Luke 24:46-47  Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."

    God has given a fair chance to every man who is humble enough to believe the gospel and accept Jesus as the Christ will be saved. When God seals him with the Holy Spirit of redemption, he becomes a born again Christian.

Eph 1:7, 13  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

More Grace to the humble

John 14:15-17a, 26; 16:13  "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth... But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you... However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The OT and NT are covenants of God. When we fulfill our part of the covenant, He will fulfill His part, for He is faithful to His words and commitment. He is also a righteous God and He cannot and will not sin.

    So when a Christian keeps His commandments, God will have to admit that he loves God and He will grant him another Helper, the Spirit of truth, who will guide him into all truth so that he is free from the bondages of this wicked world, deceptions, lies, heresies.

(John 8:32  "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.")

The Spirit of truth will also tell (teach) him the end time signs and prophecies.

Grace overcomes the Flesh

2Cor 6:1,4-10  We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain... But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes... by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God... as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Jesus Gospel of Grace (CW74)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Are you preaching the Only Gospel of Jesus?

Mat 16:15-16,21  He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.".. From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

    It was only after His disciples were able to believe and accept Him as the Messiah the Son of God that our Lord started to show them the gospel of grace with Him, coming as the sacrificial Lamb of God.

Gospel of Jesus

Luke 24:46-47  Then He (Jesus) said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."

    The gist of the gospel that our Lord Jesus instructed His disciples to preach:-

1. Jesus was the Christ or Messiah or God was made flesh

2. Jesus suffered

3. He was crucified as the Lamb of God

4. He rose from the dead on the third day, having overcame death, so that Christians can have eternal life with Him.

Gospel of grace to Jews by Peter

Acts 2:22-24,36   "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it... Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."

    On Pentecost Peter preached the gospel of Jesus to the Jews and 3,000 devout Jews repented and became Christians. Later on, Peter preached the same gospel to the Gentiles in Act 10.

Gospel to Gentiles by Peter

Act 10:34, 39-40, 42  Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality... And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly... And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

Gospel of Paul to All

Act 17:2-3  Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ."

    Paul preached the same gospel as Peter to both Jews and Gentiles.

Same Gospel of Grace to All

Eph 3:5-6  which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets; that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

    God gave to the Apostles the same gospel of grace for both Jews and Gentiles.

Mark Of The Beast (CW73)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Rev 13:16-18  He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

    The mark of the beast or '666' will be placed on the forehead or the hand. Whoever accepts this chip (mark of the beast) on the hand or forehead will be cast into the everlasting fire.

    Since Obama Care was approved on 23 Sept 2010 and the need of the implantable RFID microchip by March 2013, great interests were seen with pharmaceutical firms alongside IT firms hoping to produce this implantable life- supporting and life-sustaining micro biochip. The object of this Marvel chip using Nano Technology is to implant a medical laboratory, the size of a grain of rice, right inside the human body.

    Life-supporting – this Marvel chip will warn and/or remove harmful cancer cells, viruses, bacteria and chemicals present in the body.

    Life-sustaining – will promote a healthy body by monitoring his blood system for optimum levels of minerals, sugar, cholesterol, etc.

    This will definitely ensure a healthier and longer life by possibly 50–100 years or more. This Marvel chip, was delayed due to the lack of technology then (supposedly to be available by Sept 2017).

    Present implantable RFID chips the size of a grain of rice are for identification, location, security and banking only.

The Marvel Micro-biochip

   The Marvel chip (a medical lab) implanted into the hand will have his blood monitored constantly. This chip will monitor and advise on the health condition of the human body and will reveal the result in any mobile phone or computer resulting to healthy humans with long lives.

    Marvel chip implanted into the head (brain) can activate the brain cells to give the feeling of peace, happiness, tranquility and satisfaction. This will cure drug addicts, gamblers, drunkards, perverts and mentally unstable.

    Everyone including Christians will desire this Marvel chip (666 or mark of the beast) for it will almost guarantee a healthy body and a longer lifespan.

Warning – Don't be implanted with any microchip for this may cause your body to change your DNA to make you into a human hybrid.

    We thank God that He will not allow this Marvel chip to be available until after WW3, when Christians who had witnessed the horror of WW3 will rather be with the Lord than to have longer lives on earth.

God's Complete Protection and Nourishment

Rev 12:13-14  Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

    After Satan is banished down to earth, he will establish 'One World Order' (OWO). Every citizen must accept the mark of the beast or 666 in order to buy and sell for the next 42 months, but God Himself will nourish Christians for the whole period of 42 months.

wings of great eagle  - complete protection of God

the wilderness - with God and away from the world system

from the presence of the serpent - Since God has given the devil the power to persecute and to kill, He will protect and keep Christians with His wings from the Devil's presence.

   The imposition of the mark of the beast is a death knell for Christians who refused to get the implant. Cunning as the old serpent is, he is nowhere near God's wisdom! Instead, God checkmates Satan by providing for the needs of His followers and nourishing their bodies with nutritious food for this whole  3.5 years or 42 months.

Abomination of Desolation (CW72)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Mat 24:15  "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),

   Our Lord Jesus directed us to read the book of Daniel for further understanding concerning endtime Prophecies especially the 'Abomination of Desolation'.

Abomination of Desolation

Abomination – Satan, idolatry, abominable practices.

Desolation – complete destruction of our faith in Jesus and His words.

   So 'abomination of desolation' in the last days is likely the abominable 'Temple of God' with the Antichrist seated within, to deceive Christians to apostasy.

   Presently, on the Temple Mount are the Dome on the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque, which calls Muslims to prayer – 5 times daily.

Dan 11:31  "And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily (sacrifices), and place there the abomination of desolation."

Seven Year Peace Treaty

Dan 9:27a  "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering... "

   In order to deceive the unlearned Christians and Jews, the Antichrist as head of the 'One World Order' will sign the Peace Treaty with the Israelites to migrate back to Israel to rebuild the temple of God. Only the Jewish Priesthood will be allowed to build the temple.

   So when the Antichrist the Iranian King (also a Persian King) orders the Muslims to cleanse the Temple Mount for the building of the Temple of God, all Jews and unlearned Christians will rejoice for another Persian King Cyrus is here.

Wicked scheme of Satan

1 Cor 6:19-20  do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's

   Satan knows that God will not dwell in a physical building as long as Christian bodies are His temple so this deceptive scheme of building the endtime temple.

   But God uses this occasion to reward His faithful ones when they overcome all temptations, deceptions and wicked schemes of the devil.

2 The 2:3-4  Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Great Tribulation or Deception

2 Chron 7:2-3  And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.

    Just like in the days of King Solomon, when the Antichrist sends the newly anointed priesthoods into the temple, cloud, lightning and thunder will fill the temple. As the cloud begins to clear in the holy place there seems to be someone sitting on the mercy seat.

   As the new priesthoods enter the most holy place, suddenly a very bright light proceeds from the Ark that the cloud could not hide. The person on the mercy seat resembles the Antichrist but glowing brightly. Immediately, the new priesthoods and the fallen Christian leaders will fall to the floor and worship the Antichrist on the Ark as God.

    Many Christians who see all these signs and lying wonders and the priesthoods worshipping him, will follow and bow down to him in front of the TV or gadgets, and losing their salvations. They will have to face the coming wrath of God (7th Seal) and then finally cast into the Lake of fire.

Rev 4:9-10a  Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God.

Antichrist Rebuilding Temple (CW71)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Rebuilding the Temple of God

Dan 11:45  "And he (Antichrist, the new head of Iran) shall plant the tents of his palace (tabernacle of God) between the seas (and) on the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him."

   Immediately after World War 3, the Antichrist will rebuild the Temple (Tabernacle) of God on the Temple Mount (glorious holy mountain) in Jerusalem, which lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

   In Dan 11:31, the Antichrist had earlier removed the Al Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount to rebuild the Temple of God.

Beware: - The coming so-called temple of God is actually the temple of the Antichrist, and not the Millennium Temple, which the Temple Institute is trying to build.

Dan 11:31  "And forces shall be mustered by him (Antichrist), and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily [sacrifices,] and place there the abomination of desolation (abominable Temple of the Antichrist)."

Why do the Jews want to rebuild the Temple of God?

1. Jews are blind until Rapture

Rom 11:25  For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

   The Jews, after the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus, are blind until the period of grace for the Gentiles is over. Erroneously, they think that the temple of God will be built for their Messiah because they do not read nor believe the prophecies of Daniel since that they have relegated the Book of Daniel from prophetic to historic.

Warning: Throughout history, Satan has been using famous theologians and historians to discredit the book of Daniel thus preventing many Jews and Christians from knowing the truth.

2. Myth that Daniel is only History

Critics say the book of Daniel is a historical (saying) rather than a prophetic book. After all, how could any man have accurately predicted the rise of successive world empires?' Unfortunately, most Jews and Christians believe this lie.

Temple Institute ready for Temple

The Temple Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Holy Temple of Jerusalem, and the central role it fulfilled, and will once again fulfill, in the spiritual wellbeing of both Israel and all the nations of the world. The Institute's work touches upon the history of the Holy Temple's past, an understanding of the present day, and the Divine promise of Israel's future. The Institute's activities include education, research, and development. The Temple Institute's ultimate goal is to see Israel rebuild the Holy Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, in accord with the Biblical commandments.

   The Temple Institute is now ready to rebuild the temple of God with all items ready; the bronze and golden utensils, garments, equipment, red heifer as sacrifice, and architectural plans for the temple building.

Antichrist as King Cyrus

   So when the Antichrist (a Persian head) removes the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount and signs the 7 years Peace Treaty for all Jews to immigrate back to Israel to help rebuilt the temple of God, which is to be built only by the Jewish Priesthood and in accordance to the Bible requirements, all Jews will rejoice and celebrate that God again has sent another Persian King Cyrus.

   Similarly, all Christians who now follow these blind Jews in their feasts, cultures, celebrations, etc. will also rejoice with the Jews for the building of the temple of the Antichrist, which he will use to deceive Christians to damnation.  

Antichrist killed at Rapture

yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him

   The Antichrist will be killed (no one can help him) by the breath of our Lord and the brightness of His coming at Rapture.

2 The 2:8  And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi (CW70)

    'World War 3 is at Hand'

    According to the Iranian Leadership, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the present king of the North and not President Ebrahim Raisi who was only one of Ayatollah's leaders. His death in yesterday's helicopter crash will not affect any regime change.

Excerpt from

CW04  Iranian Mahdi

    'World War 3 is at Hand'

Iranian Supreme Leader

    The present king of the North is the 84 year old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is Iran's spiritual leader and highest authority - he has the final say over all government matters in the country.

Dan 11:30  For ships from Chittim (West led by US) shall come against him; therefore he (king of the North) shall be grieved

    Without the Mahdi, the Iranian arsenal were  completely nullified and destroyed by the powerful US carrier fleets (seen in . The Iranians were powerless to face the onslaught of the enemies, so the only thing left is for them to pray for the Mahdi's appearance.

   US will then take this opportunity to annihilate this 'axis of evil' by completely destroying all Iran's nuclear and military sites.

    It grieves Ayatollah and his imam leadership of their fate in having to witness the innocent Iranian civilians bombed and killed by the Southern Alliance's missiles, bombs and artilleries and their country in complete ruin.

     To further US' objective of regime change, Ayatollah Ali and the Iran's leadership will be hunted down.

Beginning of World War 3

Excerpt from

CW67   Judgement of Jerusalem      

    World War 3 is at Hand

Dan 11:40  "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through."

    After Iran is annihilated by Israel (king of the South) together with their Western ally, led by the invincible US Carrier fleets, one by one its leadership will be hunted down and killed.

   After the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali who is the king of the North is killed, the new king of the North, their long awaited Mahdi, who is also Satan incarnate (Antichrist), will resurrect as the 12th Imam.

   Immediately he will call Jihad against Christians and all the Western nations. The other rebellions and sabotages of the jihadists and sympathisers on board combined with his satanic power will completely destroy the mighty US Carrier fleets.

   Having incapacitated the US fleets; the Antichrist, the weakened Iranian military and the huge powerful Jihadist armies with their advanced arsenals from the neighbouring Islamic nations will destroy all the neighbouring US military bases.

How the West Is Lost? (CW69)

     World War 3 is at Hand

Dan 11:44  "But news from the east (Australia and NZ) and the north (NATO or West) shall trouble him; therefore, he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many."

    When the abominable Australia in the East, sends its ships and military to attack Iran, they will get annihilated.

    Similarly, the north (Belgium, the capital of Nato is North West of Israel) attacks Iran, they too will be annihilated.

Note: - Russia is North East of Israel but already fighting alongside Iran.  

    Similarly, US and its invincible fleets will all be annihilated by self-destruct caused by sabotages, rebellions and revolts and the Satanic power of the Antichrist.

Why would God allow all these former Christian nations (West) to be destroyed or annihilated?

Rebellion against God's words

1. Removed God from Governing

Separation of church and state is akin to putting a wall in between. This is a very strong statement, very clear in meaning. It meant that the government cannot make laws that favor one religion over another.

2. Scriptures are removed from public places

3. Bible study and prayers are banned in public schools

Human Rights Equality

4. Women's Equality – rejecting man as the head of the home.

Eph 5.22-24  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

5. Children's Rights – preventing parents from bringing up godly children.

Heb 12:6-9  For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives." If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected [us,] and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

6. Approval for living out of wedlock

7. Approval of Homosexuality

Lev 18:22  "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination."

8. Approval of same sex marriage – impede the reproduction of the human race.

Mat 19:4-5  And He answered and said to them," Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate."

9. The many abominations legislated since President Clinton in 1993 and particularly President Obama; making it difficult for Bible believing Christians to survive, for they are now persecuted, fined or jailed for rejecting these abominations.

Why is the West annihilated?

Rev 18:2  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

   The West is 'Babylon', which is now ruled by demonic spirits, with their abominable practices. Since it rejected God by obeying Satan, God would have to annihilate the West as ramification of His judgment.

   Though the West is invincible, yet God can cause confusions within its military, navies and police in the form of revolts, sabotage, rebellions. The West will self-destruct just like in the days of Saul, Gideon, Isaiah.

   Judges 7:22  When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

Many Countries Overthrown (CW68)

     World War 3 is at Hand

Dan 11:41  "He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon."

   When the Antichrist called 'Jihad- against the West for the massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iranian Muslim civilians by missiles, bombs, from the US Fifth Fleet, Muslims worldwide will rise up. After the Antichrist had conquered Israel and Jerusalem, killing and scattering the Jews, he will then proceed to attack the neighbouring Arab Sunni nations.

Many Countries Overthrown

There will be worldwide condemnation for this great atrocity against mankind, with Russia, China, India and many nations sending their forces to help and rescue Iran from the powerful and invincible West.

   Many Muslim nations too will join forces with the Antichrist to fight against the West - the big bully. These will be the former Russian Muslim nations together with Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Indonesia, and others.

   But Muslim nations which still support and fight alongside the West, will face rebellions, and the people will try to overthrow their governments for Iran. These will include Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Algeria, Morocco, etc.

but these shall escape from his hand

  Though Jordan help to bring down some of the Iranian drones and missiles during the Iranian attack of Israel on 13th April 2024, yet Iran will not attack Jordan.  WHY?

The Kingdom of Jordan

    Jordan is called the Hashemite Kingdom, because it is ruled by the Hashemite dynasty, which claims descent from the Islamic prophet, Mohammed. The Hashemite dynasty itself is named after Mohammed's great grandfather, Hashim. Jordan occupied the biblical lands of the Edomites, Moabites and part of the Ammonites. The rest of Ammon is in Saudi Arabia. Since the Hashemite king of Jordan is the direct descendant of Mohammed, the Antichrist will respect him as appointed by Allah, for the Shia Muslims accept only the descendants of Mohammed to be leaders. So Jordan will not be attacked by the Antichrist.

Egypt Ransacked and Destroyed

Dan 11:42-43  "He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels."

   The Antichrist will ransack Egypt causing great destruction and many deaths. Saudi Arabia which is responsible for producing many terrorist groups (like Al Qaeda and ISIS) that caused so much sufferings to mankind will be annihilated too. These groups are also responsible for persecuting and murdering many Christians (God's children), so this will be God's vengeance.

Warning – Since World War 3 is the last war before Rapture, Eze 38-39, Zac 12-14 and others found in the OT (except for Daniel) are mainly wars and events (7th Seal) after Rapture and therefore they will not affect godly Christians (elect), who by then are rejoicing with the Lord in heaven.

Judgement of Jerusalem (CW67)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Fall and Rise of Iran

Dan 11:40  "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through."

    After Iran is annihilated by Israel (king of the South) together with their Western ally, led by the invincible US Carrier fleets, one by one its leadership will be hunted down and killed.

   After the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali who is the king of the North is killed, the new king of the North, their long awaited Mahdi, who is also Satan incarnate (Antichrist), will resurrect as the 12th Imam.

   Immediately he will call Jihad against Christians and all the Western nations. The other rebellions and sabotages of the jihadists and sympathisers on board combined with his satanic power will completely destroy the mighty US Carrier fleets.

   Having incapacitated the US fleets; the Antichrist, the weakened Iranian military and the huge powerful Jihadist armies with their advanced arsenals from the neighbouring Islamic nations will destroy all the neighbouring US military bases.

Faithless Israelites

Dan 11:41  " He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon."

   On 13 July 1878 at the Treaty of Berlin, the only British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli with Hebrew lineage, secured the control of the middle East and Palestine. Immediately, he allowed Jews to buy land in Palestine. This started the call of 'Aliyah' back to rebuild Zion, the nation of Israel. Palestine then was mainly desert and wasteland, made desolate by God to give the land its Sabbath with a small population of 300K and only 5K Jews.

    So in 1948, the British gave Israel the wilderness and deserts to form the new nation. Since then, the Arabs tried to drive the Israelites into the sea but God gave Israel victories after victories against great odds. In 1967, after the six-day war, God finally gave Israel all the Promised Land, which the feet of Joshua to King David had trodden upon, as their eternal inheritance.

Eze 15:6-8  "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 'and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. 'Thus,  I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,' says the Lord GOD."

   The Jews saw God's deliverance again and again since 1948, and the fulfillment of prophecies that the deserts will become fertile orchards and farmlands. Yet, in 1993, they were faithless by signing the abominable Israel- PLO Peace Treaty. This Treaty required Israel to immediately cede Jericho (walls tumbled down), Gaza strip (David killed Goliath of Gaza) and the West Bank to its enemies. Giving away these lands showed that the Jews were atheists for they had reduced Yahweh and the OT to myths.

God's Vengeance on Jerusalem

Luke 21:20-22, 24  "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near... For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled...And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."

   So, God will allow the Antichrist to conquer Israel and Jerusalem as the consequence of His vengeance against their abominable Israel-PLO Peace treaty, Unbelief, Gay Parades, fear of US and UN but not Yahweh, etc. Only those who are obedient to His words by fleeing into the mountains will keep their lives.

Our Lord Jesus Prophesied the Coming World War 3 (CW66)

    World War 3 is at Hand

Mat 24:6  "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

   Our Lord prophesied that the last war before Rapture (His coming for the elect) would be so intense, horrific and deadly that it would be like the end of the world (but the end is not yet).

Told you beforehand

Mark 3:23  "But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand."

    Our Lord Jesus told us the end time prophecies so that when we see them being fulfilled one by one, we can then walk by faith in His words or prophecies and not by sight.

John 14:29  "And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe."

Prophecies Fulfilled

1993  PLO-Israel Peace Treaty started the Last Generation and also the 1st Seal with the deception of Jews and Christians worldwide.

1997  Since the Asian Financial Crisis or 3rd Seal, the gap in income has been growing rapidly yearly and the coming food crisis or famines.

2000 or Y2K   IT experts said that at midnight 2000AD, the Y2K computer bug may set off ICBM, rockets, nuclear bombs, etc. to annihilate the whole world. Christians then were godly and expecting Rapture soon.

  Many Christians thought that our Lord has delayed His coming when He did not appear.

After 2000 Since then the tares revealed themselves as covetous, carnal, worldly and depraved Pastors, Christian leaders, Televangelists, etc.

As in the Days of Lot

   Later US President Obama legalised homosexuality and taught sexlessness and homosexuality in schools to send their children to damnation. He even legalised same sex marriages thereby forcing God to wipe out US just as He annihilated Sodom and Gomorrah.

   Obama also used the UN Human Rights to force these abominations upon all mankind. For those nations who rejected the depravities and insanities of US, sanctions were applied on them which caused them to suffer great financial difficulties.

  Today, the West (these former Christian nations) have fallen and they are now the agents of Satan, that God used the Scarlet Harlot in Rev 17-18 to describe these fallen nations.

Prelude to World War 3

Dan 11:29-30a  "At the appointed time (last days) he (Iran) shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. For ships from Chittim (Western nations) shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved,

    Chittim or Kittim means the West or Western Coastland. Today, the West refers to US and EU. So as soon as Iran attacks Israel, the ships from the West will destroy all the Iranian arsenals.

2024 Iran attacked Israel

   On 13th April 2024, when Iran and its allies sent their missiles and drones to attack Israel, ships from US and UK (the West or Chittim) stationed in the Red Sea immediately sent their fighter jets and missiles to destroy almost all of them.  

When will World War 3 Begins?

   As soon as Iran is conquered by the West with its military and nuclear sites destroyed and the present Ayatollah Ali killed for the change of regime, the new Ayatollah (King of the North), the incarnate of Satan himself will start World War 3.

Salvation during the Horrific World War 3

   World War 3 - the 4th Seal or 'kingdom against kingdom' with the natural disasters of plagued, earthquakes, etc. killings 1/4 of mankind. During this time of extreme suffering, many will be saved because of the love and care of Christians and the divine provisions and healings. A time when the new converts are properly discipled to face the coming deceptions of the Antichrist or 5th Seal. This will fulfill the period of the beginning of sorrows in Mat 24:4-8.

I Will Speak In Parables (CW65)

    World War 3 is at Hand

 

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

John 16:25  "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father."

     Our Lord taught and guided His disciples at every opportunity. Regrettably, they could not understand His parables due to the absence of the Holy Spirit, who was given only to the anointed Israelites (priesthood, prophets and kings) then.

Luke 8:9  Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

Mat 21:45  Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them. But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a prophet.

    The Jews, specifically the spiritual leaders understood many of His parables for they were the people of God and had the Holy Spirit (until the death of our Lord Jesus). God wanted them to understand so that they would repent and be saved. One of such examples is the follower, Nicodemus. Foolishly, the Jews lose the entitlement when they put our Lord to death.

Mat 13:34-35  All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."

    Hidden in the parables are the secrets and mysteries of the Kingdom of God. All those without the Holy Spirit will not be able to understand them, for God kept the secrets from them.

But the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language

    Our Lord was crucified a few hours after these final instructions. After His resurrection, He gave His disciples the Holy Spirit as a seal of redemption.

    After our Lord was glorified, the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of spiritual gifts.

    On a different note, His disciples were baptized with the Spirit of truth, who would teach them all things.

John 16:13a  "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;"

    Brethren, unless we are baptized with the Holy Spirit by our Lord Jesus Christ (not by man) with the Spirit of Truth, our understanding of the word of God, the parables of Jesus will be limited.

Parable of the Sower (CW64)

   World War 3 is at Hand

 

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Mat 13:34-35  All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."

    Within the parables are the secrets of God concerning the kingdom of heaven.

By the Wayside

Mat 13:18-19  "Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside."

    All those by the wayside are those involved in worldly affairs and are busy pursuing their dreams of successes, riches or recognition. They don't have time for the gospel.

Stony Places

Mat 13:20-21 "But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles."

    These are the ones with lots of problems - financial, health, business or family. With the proper presentation of the gospel, they will grab at His love and grace for they have just found the real Almighty Father. Please do not expose these new converts to be persecuted by family members and friends.

Strangled by Thorn

Mat 13:22  "Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful."

    Unfortunately, many Christians after their salvation still love the world.

Perfect Ground

Mat 13:23  "But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

    These are His disciples who follow Him. They want to please Him at all cost - by keeping His commandments and words.

2 Cor 5:9  Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

Truth in Other Parables (CW63)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Parable of Hidden Treasures

Mat 13:44  "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."

   These Christians gave up all when they can get His hidden treasures.

What are these treasures?

1. Spirit of Truth teaches all truth, understanding of His words, end time signs, etc.

2. Free from worldliness, bondages, etc.

3. Fruit of the Holy Spirit

4. Empowering of the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation, persecution, etc.

5. Joy and Peace of His presence

6. Counted worthy to be His bride.

2 Cor 4:6-7  For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

Parable of the Pricey Pearl

Mat 13:45-46  "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."

    When Christians can find the entrance (each pearl is a gate) into New Jerusalem (Kingdom of heaven), they will give up everything to be able to enter in.

Rev 21:21a  The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl.

Mat 7:6  "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."

    If a non-believer (swine) was able to interpret these verses, then he would certainly give away everything he owned, in order to be saved, thereby entering the kingdom of heaven (pearl).

    In reality, the concept of salvation illustrated above is preposterous to non-believers. The truth would quickly be dismissed as demonic teachings. In a nutshell, those who are not born again are without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. As a result, they will not be able to understand the parables of Jesus and His words which have hidden spiritual meanings and teachings, concerning the kingdom of God.

Rock Split to Praise Jesus

Luke 19:39-40  And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

     Our Lord told them that if men were not grateful for His mighty works which were done for men's benefits, the stones would immediately split to praise Him.

    Jesus showed His greatest love for men when He offered Himself to die on the cross for the remission of men's sin.

     Unfortunately, all His disciples were blinded by the fear that their King was dead and all benefits by being His disciples had vanished.

   They were unaware of their blessed hope of deliverance from death and damnation.

    Since no one praised Jesus for His death on the cross then, God caused the rocks to split resulting to a great earthquake.

Note Earthquakes cannot split rocks but only cause the ground to part.

Mat 27:50-51  And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

I Cor 11:25  In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

   Christians observe the Holy Communion and also celebrate Good Friday and Easter Monday in remembrance His great love on the cross.

Interesting Truth in Parables (CW62)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for the fall and destruction of Iran to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Wicked Vinedresser

Mat 21:33,35,38-39  "Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country... And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another... But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.' So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

    The Israelites were chosen (leased of vineyard) as God's people to receive His protections and blessings. They were expected to be fruitful (faith in God) but unfortunately they tend to be stiff-necked and rebellious. God constantly sent prophets (servants) to guide them back to repentance but they killed all His prophets. Finally, God sent His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus, who displayed His divinity by His birth, OT prophecies, signs and wonders, His truth and grace. Yet they killed Him knowing full well that He was their Messiah, the Son of God because they feared the Romans more than God.

John 11:47-48  Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."

End of Salvation of the Jews

Mat 21:40-43  "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?" They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons." Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'? "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it."

    God is just and righteous and He is faithful to His words. So He made the Old Covenant obsolete (kingdom of God taken away from the Jews), thus condemning all Jews to damnation.

    However, His love and mercies endure forever, and immediately with the blood of Jesus, He made the New Covenant of grace with all mankind. Thousands of devout Jews were saved as Christians before the gospel of Jesus reached the Gentiles.

Only the devout Jews were Saved

John 5:46-47  "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"

    It is clear that only devout or godly Jews will believe in Jesus and be saved. So John the Baptist was sent to preach repentance for the kingdom of heaven is near. After the death of John, our Lord Jesus sent His disciples out to preach repentance and the kingdom message too so that repented Jews would also believe Jesus and be saved.

Luke 16:29-31  Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.'"

Brethren, to know truth and be able to rightly divide His words, we need to understand the whole counsel of God in the whole Bible. Don't try the 'hit and run' as practiced by heretics, televangelists, false prophets and covetous pastors.
