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.

My Words are in the Parables (CW61)

    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.

Mark 4:33-34  And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.
    It looks like that our Lord Jesus can only enlightening us to a better understanding of the kingdom of heaven by using parables.

Mat 21:45  Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.  (Read Mat 21:33-46)
   Our Lord Jesus ensured that all hearers understand their mistakes and sins, though they may not understand the hidden mysteries. Similarly, whenever we read the bible, and if His words, teachings or parables convict us, thank God that He is leading us into His truth once we repent.

John 6:66-67  From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"
   Thousands followed Jesus for they saw His many miracles (thousands fed, blind could see, dead resurrected, walking on water, etc.). But when His teachings were difficult to accept, many of His disciples left Him except for the few faithful disciples.
John 6:68-69  But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and Know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

John 16:25-27  "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language (teachings, parables, words, etc.); 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. In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God."
    This is the prophecy that when we keep His commandments, He will give us the Helper, who will teach us all things.
John 14:15-16, 26  "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—... 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."

John 16:29  His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God. "
   Finally, our Lord found that His disciples who loved Him, understood some of the mysteries hidden in His parables. It was music to His ears.
   His subsequent sufferings and crucifixion were pure joy for He had accomplished His most difficult task of transforming His disciples.
    Brethren, what great joy it will bring to God, when we too can understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven in His parables.

Your word is Life (CW60)

   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 6:63  "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
    The words of our Lord Jesus Christ are Spirit for they give life. Anyone who does not believe and keep His words will not have life.
John 5:24  "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life."

John 12:25  He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
    When we love the Lord, we will become living sacrifices.
John 16:1-2  "These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

James 1:12  Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
    Our Lord Jesus told us that the world will hate us and may even kill us and that after we have faithfully endured persecutions and tribulations, we may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God.
2Thess 1:3-6  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,

1Pet 4:1-4  Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.
    Our suffering in the flesh will help us cease from sin so that we may be glorified with Him as we suffer with Him.
Rom 8:16-18  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

John 6:68-69  But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
    Brethren, when we obey His word, which is life then we will find life. A life that is holy and worthy to be called His children.
1 John 3:13-14  Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.
