Jeremiah Ogedegbe
We must understand that even though God decided not to end the planet, man will- the man of sin will (2 Thessalonians 2:3).This planet is heading toward doom, and the elect should be praying earnestly for salvation. We are now in the last lap of the race....
Scenes of the End Time
Matthew 24:1-14,
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The scenes of the end time are divided into two stages:
1. Politics
2. Perdition.
Jesus in the beginning of Matthew 24 talks about the rise or coming in of false christ to leadership. When they ascend dominion they use it for the purpose of spreading hate, cold war, and iniquity. Christ said it is the beginning of sorrow. Then the end comes....
Matthew 24:15-30,
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
That talks about perdition, total fall of man! Men will begin to hide for their safety in those days, "mountain hide us from God's wrath". This stage comprise of :
1. The Abomination that make desolate
2. False Revelation of Christ- 666
3. The Blood Moon.
The abomination that makes desolate are the armies of the beast or the Anti-christ (Read Revelation 9:). These armies will be appointed over Jerusalem and other UN trusted territories due to the enormous tension and outbreak of war in such regions. The Anti-Christ(s) will take away the daily sacrifice (world peace) and bring in the abomination that makes desolate.
False revelation is to make people believe in the Anti-Christ, the wrong Christ. Those who have received his mark (666) would believe his false prophecy. Jesus said in Matthew 24: 23, " Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not."
The blood moon is the darkness that will come upon the earth at the appearing of Christ on the cloud. Jesus will appear like the sun, rising from east to west. All earth shall see Him and the dead in Christ, being baptized will rise. Then the elect being alive would follow, ascending to Jesus in the cloud. This ressurection is for the church. So those of the old testament and John the baptist will not rise from the dead at the coming of the Lord, they will all rise at the second rising of the dead.
