Get ready as the Lord Jesus is coming back soon!
Rev 22
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
We are living in very troubled days. All the prophetic signs are pointing to the return of the Lord. We can see the world preparing to receive their antichrist. The world-wide massive acceptance of witchcraft, wizardry, spellcasting, and occultism have prepared many people for the plans of Satan.
This is truly a unique time in history. Within the last 100 years there is no way that Satan could have gotten world-wide acceptance for occultism like he has done now. It started with the rock and roll which took root in society in the 1950's. Over the years this music has degenerated to show its real demonic fruit. Rock is filled with all kinds of sexual perversion, sexual immorality, blasphemy, drug use, false religious teachings, and rebellion. It took time but slowly people and churches have accepted Satan's music. With rock music also came gross compromise, rejection of Biblical doctrine, and apostasy. The same process is being done with the occult. The world is being indoctrinated into all forms of spellcasting, witchcraft, wizardry, and occultism. Again the devil started slowly with wizardry in Mickey mouse and other cartoons. Now Satan is prospering full witchcraft training manuals in the form of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books and movies. Lost people are receiving all the demonic world of the occult with open arms. Since lost people have rejected the Lord Jesus, it is surprising how receptive they are to the occultic ways of Satan.
This is very important for the time when the antichrist comes to power. One of the main things he will do is to lead people into the worship of Satan. The last stepping stone of the occult is very important for that process. As a person is drawn into the world of the occult they get much closer to Satan. At some point these people will be ready and willing to accept worshipping Satan. All people who reject the Lord Jesus will gladly bow their knee in worship to Satan in the coming days!
Along with all this preparation for the kingdom of antichrist and the worship of Satan, the world leaders are also busy. They seem to be heading toward a one-world government system that will ultimately be controlled by the antichrist himself. The Bible gives a brief description of the world leaders who will conspire against God as they seek to setup the kingdom of antichrist.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have
them in derision.
Satan and his followers will briefly succeed in setting up the kingdom of the antichrist. However, it will not be a pleasant time in human history. During that time all the judgments of the book of Revelation will be poured out upon planet earth. God will literally judge the world and ultimately the kingdom of the antichrist will fall apart and be destroyed.
Right now the Lord is slowly removing the restraint on evil which is allowing the devil and his people to prosper in their ways. All forms of sexual perversion is prospering in the world. Canada and Hollywood have embraced the sin of sodomy (homosexuality). They have sought to make legal and legitimate that which is condemned by God and is an abomination to Him. Also, witchcraft, spells, and wizardry have been popularized by Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Lost people and false Christian tares are flocking into world of the occult and everything Satan offers.
Here is the good news. When we see all these preparations being made for the kingdom of the antichrist, how soon the rapture must be! One of these days, and hopefully very soon, the Lord Jesus will fulfill our hearts desire. He will come and rapture home all the true believers to heaven! What a joy that will be to finally see the Lord Jesus face-to-face!
However, don't let anyone lead you astray by setting some kind of a rapture date. Only God knows the exact date of the rapture. All datesetters are rebellious people and have already brought much shame and mockery against the Lord and Bible prophecy. We cannot know the exact date of the rapture. Yet the datesetter sets date after date only to watch them fail and then fail again. Do they repent of this sin? Of course not! These date setters just set another date and the process repeats itself.
Even though we cannot know the exact date of the rapture, we can, however, look at the signs of the times and say that the time is very near! The rapture will occur before the antichrist is allowed to rise to power. If the preparations are being made for the kingdom of the antichrist, then how soon the rapture must be! The rapture could literally happen this year. Then again should the Lord tarry, the rapture could happen next year! Do you see what I'm getting at? We cannot know the exact date but we can rejoice in the fact that the date of the rapture is quickly approaching! We also hope in the fact that the Lord has the exact day of the rapture marked on His prophetic calendar. One day it will be rapture day! Isn't that a happy thing to look forward to? Remember this verse where the Lord Jesus says He will come "quickly"!
Rev 22
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
It is very good to be reminded of these things again and again. We need this because we are "leaky" vessels. It is a good thing to be constantly encouraged and to be an encouragement to others! To just look at the news and world events, one can become depressed. However, to look at the news and world events in light of Bible prophecy can give great hope and encouragement.
Luke 21 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
