DOCTRINE OF THE LAST DAYS

Tonight, I wish I had three hours to teach. Don't be afraid we'll close on time. Glory to Jesus. I want to take out time to. Deal with a very sensitive subject. And I hope that. God with grants us clarity and God with grant at rance to communicate that which he has boded us with in this time and in this season. Glory to Jesus. Blessed be the name of the Lord. So tonight we are looking at but the doctrine of the Last Days. I told us we are in a season of preparation, and so the Lord is boding us to look into the word of the Lord to understand the time that we are in in order to be strategically positioned as we grow in capacity and strategize in the enterprise of kingdom advancement. Had a lawyer. In Christian theology, there are about seven doctrines that are composery for everyone to understand. I've dealt with some of them in his teaching series. We titooed the teens most surely believed amongst us. If you study or if you have gone through any foundational training as a believer, you'd have been taught theology or the doctrine of God. And within the concept the context of theology, we deal with the fatherhood of God. We understand the essence of God, the existence of God, the attributes of God, and we also look at God's plan for humanity. And then we also look at the doctrine of Christ. And then we look at the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of Christ is called christology. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is called pneumatology. Within the context of the doctrine of Christ, we look at him his essence first in his pre incarnate reality, and then we also look at him or look at his essence in his incarnate reality, where you talk about the hypostatic union. Two nature existing in him. His divine essence and his human essence. And then we also look at his works or what you call the finished works of Christ, encompassing his sinless life of obedience to the will of the Father. And then we also look at his substitutionary death that procures salvation for us. And then under the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, we look at the essence of the Holy Spirit or his pessone hood, where we justify from scripture that the Holy Spirit is not just the force, but that he is the person. And then we also take time to look at the ministry of the Holy Spirit. So in theology we consider the fatherhood of God, we consider Christology, and we consider numatology. Then we go a bit further to. Examine deepa the Finnish works of Christ, where we study the doctrine of salvation or what you caused so terryology, and within the context of the doctrine of salvation, were examine the death variant resurrection of Jesus, the implication of the death variant resurrection of Jesus, and we look at the eternality of salvation and all of the potentials the believer has on account of the salvation procured to him freely by grace, received by faith. And then we proceed to look at the doctrine of man, what you call anthropology, where we understand the essence of man, the reason for man's creation, and how man functions within the context of the Kingdom of God. And then we go further to look at the doctrine of the Church, or what you call eclesiology. In the doctrine of the Church, we try to understand the union between Christ and the body and his body Christ as they heard and we as His body. And then we also look at the organizational structure of the Church. We look at the role of the Church on Earth and all of that we study within that context. And then we go further to look at the doctrine of angels. As the commissioners of heaven that around the errand of God and also their role in supporting us to carry out God's assignment for our. Life lives hallelujah. And then we look at the doctrine of the last days, which we're about to study tonight, and we call that eschatology. It has to do with the events of the last days. Everything that embodies the activity or the activities of the last days is what we study here. The word is Scatology. Comes from a compound of. Two words earth cutos and logos, and earth cattles simply means last things, last things, and logos means study. So the combination of eth cautos and logos is where you frame escatology. And that's why it's called this study of last things, the study of the last events that culminates the end of the age, and it's important for every believer to understand this doctrine and to understand it from the perspective of the Bible. Why is that so? The Bible is the only document that documents of captures the accurate events of creation and also predicted events that will happen in the cost of creation, and all of them happened exactly as predicted. In fact, Bible scholars noted that over seven hundred and thirty five predictions were captured in scriptures, and after the time of Jesus' ascension, more than five hundred and ninety six has been fulfilled, meaning eighty one percent of Biblical predictions have been fulfilled with one hundred percent accuracy. They remain in nineteen vrefour should be believed because we are already at the level of aplus. As far as accuracy in fulfilling Biblical. Predictions are concerns. There is no other. Authoritative texts in the world that both captures the story of creation without contradiction and also predict events in the court of Creation with that level of accuracy. And so when the Bible speaks, you better listen. Glory to God. This is why it's important for us to study this subject matter and to look at a few things. In order to help us work effectively. You want to ask yourself why do we have to study this subject. I give you four reasons very quickly. Number one, if. You understand the subject of the Last Days, it will influence how you live now. Most people assume that we see have so much time, and so so they can leave as they choose. And the reason is because they are not aware the times that we are in. And so one of the reasons we study. This subject is because understanding it influences how you live in the now. If you know where you are going, if you know what it entails to get there, and if you know the consequences of not getting there, and if you also know that you don't have much time. Even demons are careful. The Bible said, the devil comes with a lot of rack because he knows that this time is shot. So even demons are influenced knowing that time is shot. Meanwhile, they are already condemned. You, who has a glorious destiny with God. If you are careless, it's simply because you don't understand the time that you are in. So we study it because it influences how we live today. Number two, it says the desire to reject evil because captured within the context of the doctrine of the Last Days are judgments for those who choose the part of iniquity. And so if you understand the end of those who live in sin or who facilitate evil, you'll be careful to avoid it. So the second reason we started this subject is because it says the desire to reject evil completely. Number three, we've started this subject because it also empowers us and fortified us to ende u triers. If you understand the times that you are in, certain things that happen to you will no longer take you by surprise, because captured within this doctrine reveals to you some of the persecutions that believers are supposed to suffer. In fact, Peter told us not to count it as strange when we go through diverse triers. It's not peculiar to you. This is within the scope of the Christian experience. And there is no other doctrine that reveals to you the blessings of trials than the doctrine of eschatology. And then, finally, why do we study this doctrine. We study this doctrine because it provokes our gen z for soul winning and for kingdom advancement. If you know that our time here is short, you will become more aggressive in winning people back to God. And you also be aggressive because you know when you return to eternity there is a reward for your labor. So when you find people whom's living is not. Influenced by God, when you find people whom's living it's not with a dog get desire to reject evil. And when you find people who are not strong to survive trials and persecutions, and you also find people who are not sold into kingdom advancements and sowing in. One of the things that makes that possible is their ignorance of the doctrine of the Last Days. They don't know where we are, and they don't know what to do now that we are here. Glory to God. Now, I want to begin by teaching tonight. By quickly showing you that the dealings of God are fabricated. The dealings of God with humanity are fabricated into timelines. God is not just dealing with us haarbituaritly. The dealings of God are specific, they have references, and they. Are captured within timelines. In fact, if you study God's dealings with Man, you are going to find out that the dealings of God with Man operate on four men your levels. Number one, there are pasternal dealings of God with Man. I'm trying to. Be very calm because this doctrine there's the historical aspect, there's the theological aspect, and there's a prophetic aspect. So if you get too intens you may miss out on a lot of details. Glory to Jesus. So bear with me. The dealings of God with Man are captured into four kaders. The first are personal dealings of prophetic dealings glory to Jesus. If you study, okay, let's do fight now so that I defined the last one very clearly. If your study from eighty nine, verse twenty, you are going to see God's peaking concerning his work with David is that I have found David my servant, and he said, with my holy oil, I have annoyingted him. So this is a personal. Dealing of God. Whatever God does with David, it's not a doctrine. You can lend the ways of God from it, but it will be an error to. In a but in manner. Translate David's dealing with God to yourself as I am. Now there are dealings God has with me raising me to become an apostle. There's another apostle that God also has a unique dealing with. So we may have ten apostles. Our dealings are not the same. We may have ten prophets. The dealings are not the same. God can raise one prophet to fast him, he can raise another prophet to prayers. He can raise another prophet true generosity, and all of these things are correct. But it will be wrong for the guy who is raised through fasting to tell any other prophet who does not fast like him that is not a prophet. It will be wrong for the prophet who is raised through prayer to tell every other prophet that if it does not pray like him, it's not a prophet. He doesn't know what it means to be a prophet. Now, all of them will fast, all of them will pray, all of them will give, all of them will worship. But based on the uniqueness of their assignment, God can decide to narrow into one. Aspect in a healthier manner. That is a pesternal and prophetic dealing It is not a doctrine. If you want to make it a doctrine, you're a clone people, and you will cause people to struggle, never to realize their potentials in God. Why your story may inspire people, Your story will never be a doctrine. It is the way God raises his children. It is called personal or prophetic dealing. And then there are dealings of God that are seasonal. So why God is reising all of us as prophets, Why God is resident all of us? That's a postus as. You mean you are in a prophetic company or an apostolic company. There is a unique season we are. God wants to carry out a specific assignment. It is the prophet or the apostle or the believer that satisfies the requirement. Of alignment in that season that will be picked. And this is we have believers and ministers are separated intogethers If you study Mala Chara chatter three vous one, the Bible told us the power of time. This is what we call kiro lings, ciros dealings at leastia six just the three best one forgive me. They are called kiros villings. Is that to every thing there is a season and to every time and a time to every. Purpose under the heaven. So there are seasonal or chiro buildings of God with man. You know there were many vegins in another rags, but there was a season we had gone. God has ordained that the Messiah will come only one. Verrue was picked only one. Now they don't give back to the messiahs every time, but this was what God was doing in that season. And so either by favor or by alignment, somebody can be choosen. You will discover that they're losing. Consistency is important because you don't know Cairo seasons. Two of you may be first thing I'm praying together for two years, and then the season where God wants to change guards and promote prophets. That was the season you phrenicated your We pray God, we forgive you. But you know the one who stood will become your senior. In this spirit, you can't say we got God has to cry together. I decipled him. You're been joking the impact and the ranking. We tell you you're not the same you. We offend that you're a fight. You will hit him, but that time, why you'll discover you are punching a rock. He has moved. It's a seasonal diving. This is why you have to be careful not to mess off in your work with God. Consistency is very important. Because of Chiro's seasons. The Bible said, anybody who pulls his hand in the day of harvest, that person with ufer hunger because he miss Chiro's season. If you suddenly looks after ninders. But before Jesus lamented over Jerusalem, he said, because they don't know the times of their visitation. See, there are times of vegitation. You are a lawyer. God wants to put influence on your life to represent him in the legal turn. There are times of vespertation. When that time comes, not what his name is riting. But at the end, the person who transits his name becomes the document that defines that movie. So you're now here from the times of John. It was not so from eternity, but John entered. So John became the one that marcked that season. In God's Living Number three, there are covenant dealings. This is we have consecretion comes in that are things God will never do with you if you violate certain covenance or setting consecration. It's is part of the way God raises man. If you study Genesis chapter eight, verse twenty to verse twenty two. After Noah offer clean sacrifices to the law, God said, until the end of time, I will deal with men through a prince. People got soving and ripping. So there are certain things in God you can never enter until you must sowing and reaping. It has become God's formula for dealing with men. So if you invest time in the spirit, there's something you take out of the spirit. If you're invest resources in the. Kingdom, there are thirteen favors that will be on lock to you. You may have faith for it, but your giving is what might define your maturity as to receive that. So there are covenant dealings of God with man, and then there. Are these pensational dealings. When God deals with men, there are times when he fabricates of presons into a broad banned spectrum of timeline, and he caught them dispensations. And as you read your Bible, you're. Going to find out that there are many dispensations in the dealings of God with Man, many dispensations. I don't have the time, but I would have shown you from the death of Adam. So there are dispensational dealings. If you're studying your Bible, Hebrew Chapter one, from verse one is that God, who has shundred times and in divers manners, speaking time, pass onto the fathers by the prophets in this last day spoken to us by his son, and instead he appointed him heir of all things. And by him also he made the world. He caught him the bright of his glory. They express image of. His first thing. So the Bible speaks of these last days. Those are dispensations, and so if you want to really match shore in God, you must mask start out to work with God based on these strategic dealings that are located with humanity. First, personal dealings. Are prophetic dealings, which is God's interaction with you and you alone. They don't qualify to be doctrines. They can inspire generation, but they are God's dealings with you and you alone. There's the level of maturity and influence in the kingdom that is based on how much you pass those personal dealings. And then there are seasonal dealings, which. Are also called chiros dealings, which are a function of what God do God at strategic times, and those who passed the sacrifice of alignment. In those seasons are the ones who are picked. It's not sentimental, but that's not God wave with men. The reason one overtext the order in the kingdom is because they make the most of chiral seasons. They are called seasonal dealings. And then there are covenant dealings. We are God relates with you based on your commitment to principles and kingdom covenants. If you vio let them, you may have revelations, but there are heights in God you will never enter. And then there are dispensational dealings, which are broadband timelines of God's relationship with humankinds. And finally, which is the last level, what we call edge based dealings. The Bible called them ayons, as are actually timelines that captured all of the four dealings of God, personal dealings, seasonal dealings, dispensational dealings, and covenant dealings. They are all trapped within what we call AONs. And so this aon, for example, is the aon of mankind. God has had AONs of angels. That's why you don't know when the elders came. You were just created to discover there was a civilization from which elders emanated, and they have throws in heaven. You were created, and you discover that before you came, there were angels. The Bible said, when God led. The foundations of the earth, is that the songs of God or the songs of. The money sunk into the foundation. So there have been many civilizations and many eons before God began the project of creation. Are you following? But this aon particularly is God's seizing or aon of dealing with humanity. And there are five categorizations in God's dealings with man as far as AONs are concerned. The test, it's what the Bible calls before the ages began, what the Bible called. Or they found the songs of the world. So there was a time when God was dealing with humanity, even though humanity have not yet taken off bodies. For God was dealing with us as intangible seeds of eternity. If you read your Bible, second Timota, chapter one. Verse nine, e V. Version. Now, I'm explaining all of this to give you a justification that the end is here. We didn't just wake up to tell you the world we end. No, there have been a protocol, and that's why I began by telling you over seven hundred and thirty five prophecies of scriptures have been fulfilled, but with one hundred percent acurity, eighty one percent of them fulfilled, nineteen percent remaining we LOSTO be profuged. So if you take the Bible for granted, you on your own have a lawyer, praise God efter who has saved us and called off with an holy colin, not according to our words, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. Can we have ESV Because if you click. The world words, there is the word aon before this age began. So before the age began, God was already doing business with humanity. Man was not yet cognity, but man was already in God. The program of man was already set in motion. In fact, if you study the dealings of God with man before the age began, you are going to find five things that God was doing with man. Number one, God set the redemnsed some protocol before time began. That's what's the continul to one line captures. He created that protocol before time began. Because God is not taken by surprise he knew man will fall, and so Christ is the lamb slained before they found their. Ms of the world. So before the Age began, God was already running a program for man and with the intangible dimensions of man. Number two. If you study this dealing of God before the Age began, the second thing you will find out is that God already installed glory into man. First Corinthians at there two, verse seven, Ephicients one was four. You're gonna see that the reason. Man carries God's essence, it's not just because God decided to do it spontaneously. It was pre programmed. According as He has choosing us in him. Let's read First Corinthians two seven. First First Corinthians two seven. Except but we speak the wisdom of God in the mystery, even the hidden wisdom of God, he said, which God ordained before the world. Again, that is age aon on to our glory. So before you were created, before the human error began, God has already structured the redemption protocol. God has already had already ascribed glory for humanity. And that's not all. Even your calling came from there. The Bible said in Romance, chapter eighth, verse twenty nine and thirty, It. Said him that he's for you Verse twenty nine. Whom I for you he predestinated to. Be confound to the image of his son, that it might be the first born and. Mon many brethren. Verse thirty he said, moreover whom he predestinate, whom he did predestinate. Then he was he called whom he called hate, justified whom he justified. He glorified. This way reality is in it tality past. So you you didn't just become an apostle or a prophet by creativity. It was ready in Jerema one. Verse five. He said, before you were found in your mother's roomb. Is that I knew the I ordained to be a prophet. That's why you can't just wake up here and said, I like the title of prophet. I like the title of pasto. It's not done. It was reading before. Some of first can never of the potentials are cribed. We were glorified before we were created. And when man fell, he fell from glory because that was the program. So anything let them try to confuse you to accept reject it. If it is not glorious, it's not you. It has to be glorious. Praise God. So your calling, your your calling was structured, your redemption was structured, your glorification was structured. Imagine what God was doing before on on it must be holy. So holiness is not a doctrine we love, of course we love it. But holiness is part of the press kIPS. It means when you come to earth, there are many things on earth that will fascinate you, but you didn't come to live for those things. When you're come in to ect, you came to live for God. Anybody who is not living for God, the Bible side is dead white working. Him that leaves that for pleasure. The Bible side is what he's dead white working. So there are many dead men working. They will go to eternity and they will say you never existed because you were not You were not functioning according to the preordained order. As then there is what the Bible was so called Edge's pat because after man came into the world, instead of interacting with God to understand what God pre planned and live accordingly, he became creative and started fraternizing with Seta and set and taught him a protocol that was different from what was preprogrammed. He was designed to live holy set and taught him rebellion. He was designed to carry glory set and taught him rebellion, and it renactured him. And so it became impossible for the amount of function in the next dispensation or age that God planned. So what happened was that and not that age was introduced. And that's what the Bible caused the Ages past. Within the context of the Ages past, God had to give promises, and God had to create types and shadows of the realities that the man. Was supposed to work in naturally. So in Ages part we have promises, and we have types, and we have shadows excisions Chapter three, verse six, verse five and Romans sixteen twenty five. So there is before the ages began. Then there is the ages past, which in other ages was not known onto the storms of Men as it is now revealed onto his holy apostles and prophets. So the part I was speaking here about this present age, he said, but before this present age, the christis we revealed, it said the age before this age. That's why the relation was not known. So they only knew about Jesus in type and shadows. They didn't know what it meant. And because they didn't know Jesus. God had to give them promises so. That they look forward to the age that they can. We read this in ESB. Help me quickly. I need to lay these foundations. This kind of teaching is for seven hours because there are many compartments, or the top for two hours. Three hours. You take a stretch, break, go and take three come back. Then we continue. It's not pretty. You know, you don't rush. You take time because I'm trying to. Recalibrate you. Exact which was not made known onto the sources of men in generations. I tita believe it to his Holy apostle some prophets. So there is a present age, and I will show you that. But it's telling you that before this present age, there was an age before this age, and it caught those ages ages passed Romans sixteen twenty five n IV. If you have it an IV. Why e is that now. To him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel. The message I proclaimed about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery, he did for long ages pass So there were ages passed where. The revelation of Jesus was not yet known. And so God's dealing with man at that time was in types and in shadows. It was based on promises that would bring them into this age. And then after the age is passed. That's what the Bible caused this present age. The third dealings of God with man according to age or A one is what we call this present age Godlessians one form. Again in ESV. And like that translation because it renders it the way I want it. And then titles two with eleven to twelve, and I so read for me Galatians one four in ERV and then read for me titles two eleven twelve in NIV exid. Who gave himself for our things to deliver us from the present evil age according to the will of the Father. So this age is different from ages past. Age is past is different from before the ages. But God was dealing with man at different levels in all of those ages. If you study Titles two that eleven to twelfth NIV. Except for the grace of God has appeared that our pert salvation to all people Ver's twelve is that it teaches us to say no to our godliness and whatdly person to leave self controlled or right and godly life in. This present age. So there is a dealing of God with us in this present age. That dealing is what we call the kingdom. Within the context of the kingdom, there is the enablement of grace, and there is the responsibility of missions. And so anybody who is in this present age who does not live by grace and who is not committed to kingdom. It's not a life. And if you don't understand this age, there's no point hoping to have anything in the age to come, because the way it works is that if you meet the purpose of God for before the ages, you cannot live in the ages past, and you cannot live in the presser than age. And if you miss God's agenda for the present age, you cannot lead in the age to come. Now, there are many people who are hoping, maybe they believe it, and they're hoping that in the world to come they'll be great. They are joking. Salv version takes you to that world, But your kingdom responsibility is what gives. You status in that world. That's why you need to understand this age. This age is the age of the kingdom, the initiation of the kingdom. To be more correct, this is the initiation of the kingdom. If you maximize this age, then the next age, which is the age to. Come or the fulfillment of the kingdom, you'll be relevant. Because in this age, what God is doing is saving humanity by bringing them the revelation of Christ, and upon saving them grants them access to grace, so that they leave by grace, and on the strength of grace they advance His kingdom. Now, what is his kingdom? The Kingdom of God is the realm of his life. The Bibles that accept a man be born again, he cannot passive the kingdom. So anyware governed by God's life is God's kingdom. So one of the errands of grace is an enablement of God to help you transmit divine life. So anywhere you go you are expected to live under the authority of that life and transmit that life. It doesn't matthize my banker, it doesn't matthize my politicians. You must be a dispenser of life. Jesus said, the words I speak, they are series and their life. Everywhere he went to he relieves life. What is the kingdom? Number two is the realm of God's will. Matthew sixteen die Kingdom Come how Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So anybody who is deploying grace correctly, what it does is that anywhere he finds himself he brings that context on that Jesus is authority, so that only Jesus is. Seen as king. If you are not living, to arrest context and bring them under the authority of Jesus. Your existence is a wisdom. It doesn't matter what you have, it doesn't matter what you are called. Because this is the edge of the. Initiation of the kingdom. So Jesus must be seen as king. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. That means everything comes under the authority of Jesus. Number three, what is the kingdom? The kingdom is a. Realm of God's authority. Look eleven twenty. If I by the finger of God castile devils, it means the Kingdom of God is among you. So any way you get to you are mandated to exercise divine authority. This is why we cut our devils, This is why we pray for the sieve and they are healed. This is why we proclaim and circumstances are changed because by grace, we have been empowered to exercise divine authority. And finally, the Kingdom is the realm of God's wisdom. We speak wisdom amongst them that are perfect, not the wisdom of this world or of the princess of this world that comes to north. So there is a wisdom that defines, and not that government and not that civilization. It is that the wisdom that is from above is fast or for peole. This is why we teach kingdom principles. The Bible speaking is that behold, I give on to you the keys of the Kingdom. It speaks of divine wisdom and divine intelligence. So the way we do our things is different from the way the people of the world. Do their things. In the world, for instance, you get all you can, and you can all you get. It's me, I am myself. But in the Kingdom it's. That there is Him that's ctasts and increase it. They live. The soul shall be made for him, the water shad by himself. And what I don't do, that's a different wisdom. In the world, you live. For pleasure, it don't matter if it is morally. Rights or wrong. But in the Kingdom we live right even if the cost of pain, it's a different wisdom. So what God is doing in this age is to initiate the kingdom, because we are ultimately created to live in the kingdom. But you find people who are not about divine life, and not about divine authority, and not about divine will. I'm not about divine wisdom. But they are hoping to go to heaven. I saw somebody recently. I don't know who sent that to me. Now the guys too, there's that charge, there's the club. He ends that club. There's their prayer party. He entered party. They're not say heaven hand and I went to heaven. They kicked him back. Oh God, where are you going to? You don't love what is happening in heaven because if you do, you'll practice it here. You don't love it from here to be born in there? They are worshipping God. You're not interested. They are talking about God. You are not interested. What do you think they do that? So God, join your colleague. Glory to God. So there is this present age, and then there is the Age to come, the Age. The Age to Come. This is where I'm beginning to introduce as cathology because this world. We end the same way. We know how it's began, the reason it began, the things structured why it began. That's the same precition with which we cannosto tell you if we end, and we cannosto tell you the things God we do. I took time to show you the things God did before this world began from scriptures. So when I tell you the things God will do when this world will end, better believe it. There is an age to come. Now, let's look at scriptures. Matthew poet taty two ESV Epicients one twenty one n IV. Was speaking. Is that whoever stickt against the. Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. The urge to come is the edge of the fullness of the Kingdom. That the age we are Jesus will truly be king without any form of contention. All the governments that will be in the world where submit to Jesus. All the authorities in the world were submit to Jesus. That era is coming. It is the era of the Kingdom. That's what we call the Millennial Reign, is a one thousand years period. We are Jesus will return to the earth, and he will rule over the earth as the app solute authority, and nothing can challenge his authority because at that time man would have been jarged, and only those who are lowyal to Christ will remain here. That age is coming. Whether you believe it or not, it will happen. And then that's what the Bible calls the Ages to come efficients two verse seven, the Ages to come, New King James Verson, if you have it, the Bible said that in the Ages to come, he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness to us off in Christ. The urge is to come is when the new Heaven and the new Earth will appear. And what happens here is not just that Christ will be king, absolutely rise, and man will become one in experience. The Bible said, he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. We are supposed to be. It's supposed to be here that is joined to the Lord is one person. A time is coming. Your body would have. Been glorified, your soul would have been made pere. So your spirit, your phone. And your body will all be pere and eternal in nature. At that time, you and Christ will be experientially one. And that's why the Bible said in the new Earth there will be no song. Is that Jesus will become this son of that heath. So where we are going is a place where if you see men, then will reveal and represent dimensions of Christ. You will not be able. To know them outside of Jesus when first that henceforth know we no man after the place. It's a reality. There is calling that when you stand, you will be the wisdom of Christ personified. You will be the right chopness of Christ personified. You will be the authority of Christ personified. You will not be known apart from Christ. It will be impossible to know you outside of Christ, because that's what God preplanned. But it couldn't happen, but God will make sure it happens. But that would be when this world ends and a new Earth and a new Heaven will be created. Our focus is to understand the events that will take place from the end of this age into the beginning of the ages to come. That bandwid of body is what we call eschatology. You must understand that's a believer when this world ends, this age and when the age is to come. It's about to. Begin the events that needs to take place. If you don't know it, you are not prepared. And I can tell you that more than eighty percent of Christians on earth today know nothing about it. That's why they live the way they want, because they don't know that we are in a kingdom, and that kingdom has protocols, that kingdom has a destination, the thing. They are just interested in what they want, and God exists for them. The gospeld that makes you fear God is living for you. Wait, take you where you don't want to go to. Glory to God. You know this is Bible stories over can take time on some day. The crowd come for miracles, they come for answers. You came to grow. So let's eat meat. If the strong meat belongs to them, who, by reason of you have exercised their senses to design between good and evil. So quickly I said. Kathology is a compound word derived from askatos and. Logos Eskatos means last things and logos means study. So it is the study of the last things. And so we're gonna look at what the Bible categorized as the. Last things as we time time time. It's already seven twenty four. Oh, who has power here to free time? Come up, there's the platform for you. Manifse what's going on? Dani has top the song for the whole day. It's been over eight hundred years. You mean no, the first year can't top. The don. Isaiah thought, the king choose the one you want, whether. They start move backward by ten degrees or move forward. So it's not a fluke. They had power. We are the powerful men. You ran you ancient sion skin Cardosh card. You are mighty on your trone. You ran you ancient thion skin Paradosh. You are mighty. Your you ran, you ran, you ran you right you you my youran you ran your you know you you. You Now quickly, I'll do a quick recap again. When did the last days begin? Hebrews One, from verse one to three. God, what at various times and in various seasons, huh spoken to us in time past by the fathers and by the prophets, had in these last days. Spoken to us. By his son, whom he appointed heir of. All things, and by whom or so he made the words. And so I said, the last days began from the eightly ministry of Jesus Christ. He had in these last days spoken to us. So the days of Jesus's ministry were already the last days. But as far as our participations on his concerns, it was inaugurated on the day of Pentacos. Acts of the Apostus, chapter two you read from their sixteen to seventeen. When Peter was arnswering the mockers, a quoted Joel chapter two, twenty eight to thirty. Except for these are not drunken as you suppose, seeing it is but. The third hour of the day. Except but this is that which was spoken by Prophet Joel, except that anisa come to pass in the last days. Stay at God. I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters will prophet high. Your young men will see visions, and your old man Shah dream dreams. So Jesus is ethnic ministry inocurated it. We were brought into participation on the day or from the day of Pentacles. Hallelujah. So we are currently in the last days. We are currently we are in the last days. So tell somebody you are in the last days. If you sleep now you are in trouble. Glory to God. Now I went further to tell us that although there are many predictions everywhere, there are a few things we need to understand. Number one, that the exact day of the coming of Jesus, the Bible said, no man knows. This is why although we emphasize that we are in the last days, and I've given you reasons why we do, but we must be careful to avoid the temptation. Of fastifying the day of his coming. We must be careful. Because if we miss it, like many others have, it may end up discouraging too many young believers. Who assume that everything we say is by the. Holy Spirit, and they start wondering, why did we now say this and it's not correct. Let's look at scriptures. Let me justify my statement. Matthew twenty four, thirty three to thirty six, Acts of the Apostles, Chapter one, verse seven. If that's so, likewise, yeay, when you see all these things, know that it is near and at the door it was speaking about the day of the Lord. It is that veryly I see onto you these generations shall not pass. See all these things be fulfilled verse thirty five. If the heaven and ag shall not passed away at but. Heaven and ag shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Verse thirty six. Is that, but of that day and hour? He said, no wad, no man, no, not angels of heaven, but my Father. What only my Father only? This is an authority team. It is not one thing to speculate about. Ask of the apostles chatter one verse seven, and he said, unto them, it. Is not for you. Don't struggle to know it. It is not for you to know the times or the season which the Father have put in his own power. Why did he say this? Read back two verses five and six, except for John't no read back? Go back to the three. Now, when Jesus appeared the Bible sad. He taught them for forty days, and he manifested himself to them with infallible proofs. And then he spoke to them concerning the Kingdom of God best porn emphasis, and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which that he have ahead of me. Verse five for John to leave baptize with water. Is that, but you shall be baptized with the holygoes not many days. Hence, they now. Asked him when when the deform will come together? They asked him, So we are not the first to be curious, saying, Lord will now at this time restore the kingdom to Israel. So they we're asking for the time of the culmination of the kingdom, when. You will return and exercise absolute dominion, which is the millennial ring. But Jesus answered and said, unto them, it is not for you to know. I know some of you are prophets and theologians. Don't leave that temptation. So the first thing we established is what no one knows that they or the hour. In fact, the Bible said they will come like a teeth in the Nonetheless, Jesus is not expecting you to be taken off God. So he now told you what to do. So I told you, instead of pursuing to. Know the day and the hour, rather do what Jesus prescribed as a preparation requirement. And I said, Jesus gave us five preparations. Number one, it says to. Be spiritually alert and watchful Matthew twenty four and forty two. Let's read it. Write the scriptures down. If they watch, therefore for you, no, not the hour the Lord come. So Jesus says, what watch? You don't know the hour, But what watch? That means the people who are watching will not be taken unawares. And I tell you watching means three things. Number one, to leave a pectant. Don't leave as if God is not coming. That would be deception. Leave expectant Matthew twenty four forty two. See the word the Bible puts it, if a watch, therefore watch therefore be expectant. You don't know the hour, so be expectant. Number two, I said, leave discerning and separated Matthew twenty four verst. Four. Jesus, So those many first prophets who rise, this is the age of deception. Jesus answered, I said, on to them, take heed that no man deceive you. That's eleven. He reintilated it. This is watchfulness. Watchfuness is living expectations. Watchfulness is build discandement many first professional rise and deceive many. And then number three, I said, watchfulness means leave prayer fully Mark fourteen, verse thirty eight. Watch and pray that you're fall not into temptations. The spirit is willing. The flesh is weak. So the first way to live in the last days is to live a lot and watch you. The second way to live is. To live fruitful. Leave fruitful, don't leave unproductively. You have come to a point where you will soon be caught home, and when you get home, it will be a time of reward. So you must be fruitful. And fruitfulness is being poured into kingdom advancements, and so willing Matthew twenty four and fourteen. This godful of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the worlds. Then the ends shall come. John fifteen, that eight is the go and produce fruit, and let your fruit abide. Then you are my disciples. So the way you live in the last day is to be fruitful. The last day is not the time for back there and house warming parties. The last day is not the time for Night of the Thousand Loves. The last day is not the time for holiday in Bahamas. Now work in the white, take a rest, do it, but don't make it part of your life. Some people have a routine every week on Friday, they must go somewhere and catch one. That's not why you live in the last day. Once in a white go and rest worse in the white teke your family go for holiday, but it's not a routine that every month we must go. They don't live in the last days like that because their flesh is empowered in the last day. It's that the peerage is winning, but the flesh is weak. So the last day what you do is every opportunity for so winning, jump into it. So it's not a having a schedule for holidays every month. Harve as cadule for so winning every week. That's how you live in the last day. That thy was for going on holiday. But there the windsow are wise. They's just shine like the brightness of the farmer men. Some of us have sitted here since this year began with no one one. So you are living in the garden of Eden. Better come back to your age. It's only the garden of id that they didn't windstoles. Come back to your a. You are in the last days. Glory to God. So when is not for the poor, So when is not for young people, it's for all of us. Going toward the words and decipher all nations. Number three, how do you live in the last day? Build capacity for endur runs. These are times of triers revelations to ten. Jesus said, they will astlit you, then will arrest you, that will imprison you for ten days. If they both stand to the end, stand don't fall. Build capacity to stand stand triers. There are many Christians that help bring need to try their compromise. No, that don't have to live in the last day. In the last day, you built stamina when the devil trust this arrow, like said Rack, misshack and a bad nig Our. God is able to save us. But in case it doesn't, we won't bow. If I perish, I perish. That's the code of. The last day. Stand your ground, don't compromise on that job. If you don't bring bride. You are packed. Be packed. It's better to be packed and have a place in ethality than to remain on the job and end in hell. Stand your ground, build. Capacity and your triers, and then build capacity. To stand in love. Because you don't only end your trials, you also build capacity to stand and walk in love. See you receive. Deception, you wi sive betrayal, you will see accusation. It's part of the lovey. There are people not want it to be forgiven. Forgive for your sake, not for the effect. The Bible said in Matthew twenty fourth one and thirty is that because iniquities abound, the love of manager works called. Except for they that end dear to the end, they shall be said, so that it's a place for enduring in law. And then number three I said, and deal in faith Jesus yourself. When the son of Man returns, we read, find faith on it. We're in a generation we are people think faith is fanatism, the thing faith is foolishness. They say, use your brain, use your brain. None of us. He's throwing our brains away. But they are a higher level of oppression is that we work by faith, not by sense. Three perception is that they just shall live by faith. Second Corential five to seven half Aacock two best four gal S three level. They just live by faith Romance one sevent They just live by faith. Learn to trust God, learn to walk based on the world of God, because in the last day, the only thing that was stannded is the world. I don't know why I'm reintillating this. Maybe somebody needs to hear this. You have already compromised on your job and the devil was created a sequence of bondage that you will not come back from. And you are deceiving yourself that when you're about to die you will confess Jesus. You will remember you have programmed yourself against God. Don't make the mistake of thinking on your you will be angry with God. Not that the deception. There are many people who are saying, ah, when I want to die, do you know how you what if you go in your sleep? Number four I said, invest in the kingdom the last day, the time of investment, Invest time, invest energy, invest your money. You find people everywhere attacking charge. They are taking money, They are taking money. You think they love Jesus. I know that I won't the ship clothing. But because there are a few bad ads, should kingdom. Not advance again? If the Prior loud, my kingdom through prosperity shall have this bread abroad? How do we do crustave with our money? Did I tell you that government give us money? God raise the resources from among his children. From time in Memorial, when. Morphis wanted to build the tenth is, then let the people give. Not how they're blasd when Deavid want them to build it was the children of God that gave. Do you want us to go to the people of the world to bring money to sponsor God's kingdom? Is that the God's kingdom? Where are the spoms of God? And then when they fight this battle, you say different pastors who are looking for popularity, who are obsessed with faith, they lend their voice because the easiest way to fly in the corrept world is on the wings of STrenD and controversy. And you think these are genuine pastors. I tell you again that I was being ship clothing and that are those who have watered down the Gospel into materialisy. But that these errors are there does not mean we shouldn't give resources for kingdom advancements. Both that in Philippians forficing. You Philippians know that in the beginning of the Gospel, no choice communicated to me because I ain't giving a receiving But you only that means. When post that and no charge you giving? How did they now begin to give? He taught them, and he didn't just taught them. He organized collection for kingdom advancement about kingdom moves. Invest your time, invest your energy, invest your resources. When money comes. To you, don't only think about investment in the world, don't only think about your welfare. Let that be a posh. Listen, if you don't believe what we are doing here, take it to where you believe. It's not about here, it's about the lifetime first of those who give us here. We don't know them, because God that's raised songs everywhere. So please we are in the love there there will be a lot of deception. The Bible said we are in man stress your east. That's where his hat will be also Matthew six twenty one. So you check yourself and that's where your heart is. How much of your resources are in the kingdom, You will know whether the deception of the last day has overreading you. Please lend this invert in the kingdom, and finally, be a witness any where you find yourself. Don't be ashamed of standing for God. The reason you receive the Holy Ghost primarily is to be a witness. Act one is if they're not many days from now, you shall receive the Holy Ghost and power to be witnessed. This onto me. The highest level of the Christian life is the level of a witness. You're coming as a sinner. You become a believer, you become a disciple, then you become a witness. A witness is a commissioned believer. That's where you operate as a son, a please and a king. Don't be ashamed proud of being a Christian lawyer. Don't God here and thinking religious by God mee, be proud of being a Christian footballer. Be proud of being a Christian businessman. Bring the principut of the Kingdom into your organization if you own it. We have Christians. They travel out of Nigeria. War let me leave it so it doesn't look like I'm talking to n Christians. For people travel from. Africa and in three weeks they have developed accents, dress code has changed, Church has become boring. No more prayer, where your prayers? Look at Japan, Look at India, Look at China. You go there and come back tell me if you worship more God than them? Do you know how many Gods India house? You know how many God China has? You know how many God Japan has? And who told you America is not built on Christian foundation? In nation that even their currency is captured in God? We trust you go to the parliament on top of the head of the speaker. If you look straight, you see this the symbol of Moses, because the a loss comes from God. You are here, you say you are being Do you know God? Are we religious? We are just starting and we are starting late. Are you more religious than the Arab nations? You go to the Arab nations and come back and tell me if we know religion. We are just self deceived. Please be a witness. See be bold to say, I belong to Jesus. We are your suit, carry a logo. Let it be Jesus. We are said, Jesus is my lord? Are your page right? I belong to Jesus? Who do you belong to? Be a fanatic? It's better to do it too much than not to do it. Well? Is that because you are neither hot? Dot co? Pee you out of my mouth? God? Don't them believe an average if you are not what be cold? Let's know where you are? Not that they are good paper, jeering them back, playing back. Pay. Yeah, but the next day you are in the football cube. It's there, I'm trying to exercise. Let the pay and go. H give the Lord, halloluier, halleluier. Are you are you are you following me at all? Praise God. Now, so I said, we don't know the day and the hour, but we have to watch. Be prepared. Now the top pretties. Why are there so many rumors that Jesus is coming this year? How many of you have heard of it? How many of you had your head that Jesus is coming this year? And how many of you heard that Jesus is coming in September twenty twenty five. If you heard that, wave your hand, don't laugh. Be careful now, very quickly, let me advance and show you the reasons why this. Positions and postulations are out there or are all over the place. I think I mentioned it briefly on Sunday, but again I think the Holygos wants me to emphasize these things again. Some of you, they may just sit you somewhere and start asking you questions and you may become stranded. So let's look at it very quickly. So there are five reasons why theologians and some masters teachers of chatology are postulating that Jesus is coming this year, and I will list them very quickly. Before I make any further vancement. Number one is the age of the Earth. There are many theologians that believe. That because the earth was created in six days and God rested on the seventh day. That God's program of redemption is also going to be for. Six Now they call it the dan here week, And I'm going to explain to you the dane your week it's going to be for. First of all, six thousand years. And then the millennia Ragin, which is the Sabbath of Jesus, will be for one thousand years. And then they also explained that the tribulation will be for seven years. Because of all of that. But let's begin with they starve programs they believe. Okay, let me give you a scriptures. Yeah, uh. Uh uh h yeah, uh. Huh ah ah ah. Ah ah. Ah. Second Peter, Chapter three, verse eight. Peter was speaking pro pectically here and Peter's leid, but beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years, it's as one day. So most of those who believe that the the Word ends today, their argument is that the salvation program of God for humanity will be for seven days, just like creation or the redemption of the first eth was for seven days. Remember the eighth was boy. Darkness was upon the face of the deep, and God recreated the eth. So the first salvation program was for the earth, and so God recreated the earth in six days. On the seven day, God rested. So they believe that now that man is falling, the program of God is also going to be in that seven order. And now, because Peter said. A day is a thousand years, and a thousand years is the day, they believe that this seven order. This time around is going to be seven thousand years. And so if you study history, you're going to find out because this is the argument. This is not my argument. This is the argument that from Adam to Abraham was two thousand years, and from Abraham to Jesus is death in the thirty eight D or thirty three eight is. Another two thousand years. And from thirty three a d To twenty twenty eight or from thirty a d To twenty twenty five, it's. Another two thousand years. So as far as their concern, from Edam to either twenty twenty five or twenty twenty eighth, they ad would have been six thousand years. Now there's a. Little discrepancy with the Jewish calendar, because if you change the Jewish calendar, there is a two hundred years missing from there. But that two hundred years gap, they also argued for it. They constituted an argument for it and. Said the Gregorian calendar overrides the Jewish calendar. Based on their arguments, and so as far as their concern, from Edam to twenty twenty five or twenty twenty eight is six thousand years, the next one thousand years is the Sabbath, which is the millennial ring, and the Sabbath we all begin if Jesus comes. If after Jesus comes and raptures the church, that the bridegroom's Supper, which is the millennial rain begins. So the edge of the eighth, as far as their concern, has come to an end. That's why you see that they argue that the rapture is this year, because this year, if you come from thirty eight when Jesus died, it's two thousand years now, and if it's thirty three a d at most it will. Be twenty twenty eighth. The world will come to an end. That is the argument. And then there are those who argue from the place of the pick. Three Matthew, twenty eighth. That's thirty two to thirty four. Let's read it, Matthew, twenty eight. Thirty two to thirty four, not three. So when you see those arguments online, understand Why. Can we have you. Check for me the scripture where Jesus spoke about Israel as a victory. Mm let me touch it. No, not this, I'm coming. You're seeing it. Cross cross reference it and. Give me the New Testament. Okay, yeah, Matthew twenty four years. He said, Now learn a parable of the victory. He said, when his branch is yet tender and put out for leaves, it say you know that it is that summer is nigh. Next verse it says soul. Likewise, when you shall see. All these things, know that it is near, even at the door, thirty four, very near. Say on to you, these generations shall not pass. Tell these things be fulfilled. What is this debate? They say, Israel is the victory, And they said the branches or the leaves that Jesus refers to. Here is the year that Israel became a nation. And Israel became a nation in nineteen forty eight. I'm based on some ninety tent the Bible said the years of a man shall be seventy and if by reason of strength, he shall be eighty years old. So when Jesus said this generation will not perish on Tiday, see these things or what the summer represents there, they mean that they age the nineteen forty eight will not finished from eight until Jesus comes. And so if you read from if you come. From nineteen forty eight, twenty twenty eight is eighty years. So for this category of people from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty eight, the war can end at any time, because that generation from nineteen forty eight to twenty eighteen is seventy years. From twenty to twenty twenty eight is eighty years. So this is a period of a generation, according to some nineteen vers tent. And so they said, those who are born in nineteen forty eight, before all of them die, rapture will happen. And if the Bible said, man, we live for seventy or eighty years, then must be at least one person who will be eighty years. On the strength of that argument, they said the world will not exceed twenty eight. So that's the second postulation for those who argue that the world is about to end. Number three is the Jewish feast. And if you're studying the vity cost twenty three, you are going to find out that the Bible itemized seven feasts. Number one, passed over number two, number one, feast of trumpets, number past over number two, on living bread, number three, penty costs, number four, first fruit, number five, feast of trumpets, number six, feast of Taberannacus. We have passed over on living bread, fast fruit, pentacos, trumpets, Tabanacus. Seven feasts. Now this is what they represent. Passova represents crucifixion. On living bread represent the sinless body of Jesus. Fast fruit represents resurrection, trumpets represents. Rapture. Tabanacus represents the milleniary. Now, the first four has been fulfilled. Jesus has died. Which has to do it? Passover? Jesus has been buried as a sinless body. He has to do it on living bread. Jesus has resurrected. He has to do it, fast fruit, the Holy goost has come. It has to do with Pentecost. This four have been fulfilled. Their argument is that if this four have been fulfilled, then nothing. We stop the last three and as based on Jewish interpretation, the feast of Trumpet, which is what they call h is the time of convocation and atonement. Usually in the Jewish calendar it's in July, but in the Gregorian calendar since September. And so in the feasts of Trumpet, the priests blast the horn, and there's the ten days where. They call the ten days of terror, where everybody comes in our and repents before the Lord. It's the time of convocation and atonement. So what these people argue is that in every September, which is the feast of trumpets, based on the other arguments, if God will, if Jesus. Will come, then it has to be in September. Now why do they say it's in September Because of you scriptures I give you them, Matthew twenty four thirty six. But of that day an hour, no man, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But look at the look at the emphasis when he comes, when he comes. If you read these thirty one, see what Jesus added. It said angels with black trumpets, and he shall send these angels with a great sound of trumpet. So they believe what the priest does to create a holy convocation, the major convocation will be the last day when the angels blast the horn. They believer to be got that together to the Lord. That's why they believe that the feast of trumpet is for the rupture. If you're starty or so, first the Salonians for sixteen and seventeen, you are going to see that the Bible said the son of man shall be sent with a shout. So as far as those who argue this position are concerned, if God are signed, because the fist of us, the fist of trumpet was assigned in levity cost twenty three by God. If God puts it in September, then it means the ultimate trumpet will happen in September. And they believe that that ultimate trumpet is the last trump that we grab that these things together. This is why every time you approach September you start hearing about rupture, you start hearing about rapture. The reason is. Because as far as they are concerned, the first fourth feasts have been fulfilled, so the last three will also be fulfilled. So there is the argument of the fig. Three. That is the argument of the age of the Ad. And there is the argument of the. Feifth of Israel, which in particular is the fifth of the trumpet. Finally, is the hostility against Israel. If you study your Bible, you are gonna find out that when Jesus comes, one of the major signs will be that Israel. Will beyond that great hostility. Ezekia captured it in ezek Yea thirty eight and thirty nine, and John captured it in Revelations twenty verse seven to ten. If you study at Zekatya thirty nine, you'll hear the word Gog and Magog. God speaks of a ruler, and Magog speaks of a nation. But in prophetic essence, Gog represents the rulers of the Eed, and Macgog represents the nations of the earth. And because these. Nations will wage war against Israel, it is believed that when the persecution of Israel becomes intense and nations begin to gang up against Israel amids, the end of time is near. This is why you say that most people who talk about the end of the day, they're always talking about Israel, because Israel plays a significant role, either because of the parable of the victory or because of. The persecution of Israel. As we speak now, Israel is fighting battles on over seven fronts and they're about to have the United Nations General Assembly. Guess what, Even the liberal nations and the Christian nations that used to support Israel, most of. Them are turning back. The United Kingdom France are about to recognize. Partless time the nation and they are currently address seed towards Israel because they believe that Israel is hotly in food from getting together. Now, these are political reasons. We don't want to get into ward. That is true or not, but we are using those happenings to define the times. So when you hear people tell you the world is coming to an end now, it's either because they believe that the eth has attained six thousand years and they believe that six thousand years is the age of redemption, that the next one thousand is the millennial rain or. The Sabbat, or they are arguing because. They believe that Israel is the fixtory and when Israel became a nation, they live sprotted and because Jesus said that generation will not die until he comes, and some ninety percent says man, we live for seventy years or eighty years. They believe between seventy and eighty years the world will comes to an end. Or they are arguing because of the peace of Trumpet, which always happens in September, so they believe that the last trump will happen at the peast of Trumpet. These are the four reasons why you find everywhere on the internet they are saying the world will come to an end. But what is the coursion? The cours is simple. We are in the last days. Jesus admonish us to be ready. But Jesus himself said himself said the. Hour and the time no man knows. So why we should advice post aggressively that people should be prepared. We must also be careful not to give a date, so that if it doesn't happen, we are not seen as being forced. Because the truth again is that most of these positions are based either on assumptions or speculations. So intense the world does not end this year, don't. Lose your faith. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. Those who advocate it, these are their basis. But what it ends this year or it does not end this year. What do you do be prepared? Is that? Claire? Is that Claire? M You see why I told you that we have to take this in little by little, beat by bait, beat by bat. Now I'm gonna deal with three things, and then I shut down because of time. I told you that are topteen events that characterizes the last day. Number one, I said, it's the great deception or the great falling. Away, the edge of apostesy. I dealt with that two some days ago, where you find increase in lawlessness, apostasy, and deception. All of that is captured in Matthew twenty four. And then I said. Number two is the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. And by the mercy of God, we are doing that already Matthew twenty four, verse fourteen. This Gospel of the Pingdom shall be preaching, not. The air on the world. Then the ends are come. Number three, I said, is the rise of the Antichrist. Number four, I said, is the great fibulation. Number five, I said, is the abomination of destination. Number six I said, is the day of the Lord or the return of Jesus Christ. Number seven I said, it is the resurrection of the Dead, or the Judgment of the Nations, the resurrection of the dead and the judgment of the Nation. Number seven is the Millennia Ring. Number eight a setn final rebellion. Number nine is the Great White Throne Judgment. Number ten is the unveiling of the New Eight and the New Heaven. Now I combine judgment of the Nations and rupture, and I also combined. Apostesy and deception. Otherwise it would have been twelve, but I just compressed it. So these are the twelfth great events of the Last These there are three of them, and will deal with when neest I come. Number one is the rise of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation. Number two is the Day of the Lord. And number three is the millennial reign. That define the order of the events of the Last Days. Because you're gonna find out as you're study about the Last Days that there are those who subscribe to pre tribulation, the adorse who subscribe to meet tribulation, and the adorse who subscribe to post tribulation. Now these things are sensitive. Those who subscribe to pre tribulation, some of them live with a lot of laxity. You know why they believe that the child will not be part of the tribulation. How many of you have heard of first flight? First flight? Now, on one side it feaks of faith, which is good. But on another side, if caution is not exercise, many are they living lux withity. So all the preparation that Jesus talk about they may take for granted. They are not building indrans what are we doing here? We will be out of here. I'll give you scripture to support all of that. Now, there are those who believe in mid tribulation. They believe that the first three and a half years before the tribulation becomes intense, God will carry the church, so the church will not really suffer the great tribulation. And that there are those who believe in post tribulation. Those who believe in posturbulation, They believe that the church is going nowhere. Better talk with yourself, because if you are not strong when it happens, you will compromise and will you are finished. Now, it's important to understand this so that while you are building your faith that Jesus will take you, you also build your convictions in Christ in case if anything happens, you are God. Now Number two, they're coming, the second coming of Jesus. Those who believe in pre tribulation and midtribulation, they believe Jesus will come twice. They believe the first coming of. Jesus's in secret the Bible said, they will come like a thief in the night, and they will snatch the church away. Are you seeing that? So that's why you see rapture videos. Somebody turn You don't see your two people are grinding. One is gone. The Bible speaks of it. Your playing football in the field, go keep up brandishes. The church is snatch away. Then people will start with him because if you didn't go, you know that something has come. And then after the. Tribulation, they believe Jesus will descend with the Church from heaven. He will fight the kings of the earth that will gang up with the Antichrist against him the Battle of Amegidon. And then there are thuls who. Believe in post tribulation, who believe that Jesus will become once. And that he will come after everything is over. He will defeat evil, he will charge Saturn, and then he will rule it for. One thousand years. You need to understand all these positions, otherwise when you are studying your Bible, or when you are listening to a preacher who subscribes to pretribulation, he will make you feel as if there's nothing like postribulation. And then if you stobscribe to a preacher, if you listen to a preacher. Who subscribes to postribulation, he will make you look as if there's not pretribulation. So when you now hear Jesus is coming twice, you get confused. Your whole theology can be shattered and you are wondering, Ah, what is going on, and you'll be confused. So it's important to know the doctrine of the tribulation, to know the doctrine of the second coming of Christ, and then to also understand the doctrine of the millennial reign. Because the millennial reign the Bible costed the treest resurrection those who we reign with Christ for one thousand years. That is what you press for. That's why you can't live like everybody, because there is a place in God you are contending for glory to Jesus. Give the Lord the big hand
