Loneliness is Feeling Unwanted- The End-time Body Language
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves..... (2 Timothy 3:1-2).
Loneliness fosters self-love, contrasting with genuine love, which is directed towards others. It is important to clarify that marriage does not serve as a remedy for loneliness; many individuals in marriages still experience feelings of isolation.
Loneliness stems from a conflict between love and selfishness. When an individual perceives themselves as unique or singular, they may develop disdain for others and elevate their own self-worth. This can lead to the mistreatment of those around them, further perpetuating a sense of loneliness characterized by feelings of being unwanted.
Human interactions can contribute to loneliness. Those who are expected to be role models or effective leaders can inadvertently foster feelings of isolation in others, leading to a sense of being unwanted.
Loneliness manifests in two distinct forms:
1. The first form is the experience of feeling unwanted, often resulting from abuse and emotional distress.
2. The second form involves a conscious choice to reject the need for others. In contemporary society, it is common for individuals to express on social media that they do not require a partner, and such declarations can significantly influence the beliefs of those who encounter them.
What is the Cause of These Phenomena?
The Apostle Paul foretold that "in the last days..." An apostle serves not only as a teacher but also as a prophet for the end times. The events of the last days are unfolding in the spiritual realm, with corresponding manifestations occurring on Earth.
The spirit exists beyond the constraints of time, representing the future, while the flesh pertains to the present and the soul to the past. This understanding is crucial for comprehending the complexities of life.
The Book of Revelation, specifically chapter 6, depicts four horses, each ridden by a distinct figure. Each horse symbolizes the spirit that accompanies various leaders or political figures. The rider of the red horse incites hatred among people and disrupts peace. The rider of the pale horse brings death. The rider of the black horse introduces poverty, while the rider of the white horse seeks to conquer kingdoms.

See How Familiarity Has Replaced Family- The Dying Church
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)
Heaven does not seek individuals who believe they are doing God a favor through their service. It is not God who requires people to fulfill His divinity; rather, it is humanity that needs God for existence.
Jesus illustrated this concept through the parable of the lost sheep, revealing that a significant number of church attendees may not truly experience the kingdom of God. Over Ninety-Nine! This revelation is indeed startling.
Do not assume that your service to God is a favor to Him. It is you who genuinely requires His presence.
Salvation is not merely about being acquainted with God; it is about being part of His family. Familiarity breeds a lack of respect and obedience, whereas true familial relationships foster honesty and adherence.
The Family Structure is Deteriorating
Currently, it is evident that the global family structure is gradually declining. Familiarity has supplanted genuine familial bonds.
This shift has allowed familiar spirits to infiltrate the hearts of many. Familiar spirits embody the essence of witchcraft, reminiscent of the Spirit of Saul and the Spirit of Jezebel.
In Revelation chapter 2, Jesus identified a familiar spirit within the church: "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce" (Revelation 2:20).
Today, one can observe families where individuals show little concern for one another. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of familiar spirits or familiarity. Some individuals express disdain for marriage, claiming they desire no attachments.
Others opt for a "baby mama" and "baby daddy" lifestyle instead of committing to a traditional family structure. Society is increasingly embracing familiarity while rejecting the concept of family.
Loneliness has escalated into a significant issue in contemporary life. The essence of true community is gradually fading.
Ninety-nine percent of family structures have been compromised.
Familiar spirits represent a force of comparison, envy, hatred, gender conflict, strife, and demonic or witchcraft surveillance. Experiencing dreams of being pursued often indicates that familiar spirits are monitoring your life’s progress. This is a prevalent issue today.
Ninety-Nine are familiar, while only one is truly family.

Two Things You Should Not Destroy In Your Life
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:17-20).
Life is all about fulfilling the law and the prophets. Life is not about what to eat or what to drink. Jesus said he didn't come to destroy the law, which means he didn't come to break God's law or to be lawless.
Of course the Anti-Christ is the lawless one who will come. When he comes he will change times and laws (destroy the law and the prophets with his lies and rebellion) until the very end of man's kingdom on earth. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (Daniel 7:25).
Jesus didn't come to change times and law; he came to fulfil times and laws. And the fulfilment of the law concerning him is to be the sacrificial lamb. For the law demanded a better sacrifice that would take away sin from the world (Hebrew chapter 9). The book of John 1:29 says: "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world".
While fulfilling the prophets is to become a better high priest who would offer that sacrifice ones and for all.
The human high priest were full of filt or guilt, so they weren't perfect to represent the people at the holies of holies. Even in the book of Zachariah chapter 3, you could see Joshua the high priest puting on a filthy garment in the vision prophet Zachariah saw:
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. (Zachariah 3: 1-3).
And also, in those days the priest were always at war with the prophets due to the fact that the prophets sought for a better and perfect high priest who is without guilt or sin.
Two Things You Should Not Destroy In Your Life
1. The law.
The law is the commandment of God. When you break God's law you attract punishments, guilt and curses.
When you destroy the law you attract punishment, guilt or curses into your life. Those who are living a lawless life are destroying their life.
Everything in life is bound by laws. Laws are like fence protecting you from threats, danger or intrusion. When you break the law, you expose your life to threats or dangers. There are physical threats. There are spiritual threats.
The physical threats are physical dangers, like if you play with an high tension electric cable you might get electrocuted. If you smoke, you get cancer. If you steal you might get arrested by the cops.
All these are physical threats.
The spiritual threats are spiritual dangers, or they are curses. Like if you fornicates you invite demons into your body, since your body (your temple) is defiled. If you worship idol you will be under God's wrath and there would be disaster, dryness in every season of your life.
If you kill, you would be killed too, for they that live by the sword shall die by the sword (Matthew 26:52).
You can't evade the law. You can't run away from it, for eyes of the lord are everywhere to reward and to give justice to the law. One can escape from wrath of the law of the land, due to human corruption.
Corruption is whereby justice is sold and bought, so the power of law becomes corrupt. But God is not corrupt. No amount of money can give you freedom from God's wrath. Know this!
2. The Prophets.
Every prophet God sends to you is to guide into the way of peace (Luke 1:79). But due to arrogance and pride so many people has despises the prophet God send to them to deliver them.
Prophets are agent of deliverance. Hosea 12:13 says: "And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved."
So many people have lost out of God's blessing because they refuse to welcome the prohet God has sent to them. Jesus said in Matthew 10:41,
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
The bible showed us how king Ahab threw prophet Micaiah into prison because he told him God's plan against him (1 Kings 22). Also King Zedekiah threw prophet Jeremiah into the dungeon because he told him to surrender to king Nechadnezzar according to the word of the lord (Jeremiah 38:6).
When you hate God's prophet you hate God. When you fight against God's prophet you fight against God.
Also do not despise prophecies from God concerning your life: they are vital for your life in the end. Prophecy is an intergral part of our life.
Fulfilling The Law And The Prophets
To fulfil the law and the prophets we need to:
1. Be a follower of Jesus and not Pastors.
When we follow the footsteps of Jesus we fulfil the law andthe prophets through him. His personalities would be found in us. We would be walking in that liberty or freedom, not guilt or being under the curse of the law.
2. Read Scripture.
Jesus never played with scripture, he read the scripture witten about him (Luke 4 from verse 1). The scripture shows you who you are.
According to James in James chapter 1, the scripture is like a mirror. Always read the bible, when you do that you will be able to fullfil Gods law and prophecies concerning your life.
3. Preach the Gospel.
Jesus in Luke chapter 4 preached to the people the scripture written concerning him. He preached to everyone about God too. Doing this fulfills the law and the prophets.
4. Pray.
When you pray you get your spirit empowered to do God's will. There are forces that try to stop you from fulfilling God's law and prohecies concerning you. Pray against stronghold against your life.
Thank you for reading, I'm Jeremiah.

8 Online Evangelism Ideas
Online evangelism is the latest and easiest way to win souls for Christ. Soul winning is all about reaching out and filling the hungry souls who need God's word. There are people who need God, and there are people who don't need God: evangelism is actually for those who are in need of God.
An intergral part of christianity is Evangelism. Jesus commanded us to go out into all nations to preach the gospel of peace. Now, with technology we can reach out to nearly all nations online. Gone are the days when we need to go from house to house preaching. Now we can reach out to more people from the comfort of our home with our smart devices. We can maintain a vibrant relationship or fellowship with the souls converted online.
What's Evangelism?
I define evangelism as the preaching of the coming of the kingdom of God. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 that the gospel of the kingdom must be preached for a witness and then shall the end be.
Therefore evangelism is the spreading of the kingdom of God unto all parts of the earth. Jesus also said in Mark 16 that we should go into the world and preach the gospel- that's evangelism.
Now What's Online Evangelism?
Online Evangelism from my perspective is preaching the kingdom of God in online platforms like social media, blogs, websites and other internet programs or apps.
Online evangelism is about sharing kingdom contents, reaching out to people's needs online. Evangelism is not all about preaching, it also entails helping people who are in need. It can be, identifying people's spiritual need, like Jesus identifying the spiritual need of the woman of Samaria at the well.
8 Online Evangelism Ideas
1. Be part of the community.
Join groups in any social platforms like facebook, whatsapp group, quora space etc. In Jesus' days there weren't any social media or internet yet Jesus didn't stay in one place. He move from place to place in other to be part of the community. He went to were the fishermen were and called some of them into the kingdom. You can join a group where they share ideas or help one another like in interpreting dreams, providing solution to problems related to your experience or skill. By showing these good works online you're becoming a light to guide them into the kingdom of God. Good works speaks more. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 that men would give glory to your father when they see your good works.
2. Be open for chats or comments.
Be ready to communicate. The gospel can't thrive when the messengers avoid communicating with people. Don't shut yourself out of one-on-one interaction with buddies online. Personal conversation has more weight to convert a soul than public discussion. Here you're actually focusing on one person.
3. Write Inspiring Blog Post.
If you can write long article or even short or medium length post, then do it timely. Let your writing be soul uplifting, encouraging and less condenming. When you write blog post frequently you're actually keeping them in habit of the Word. The word of God is a spiritual diet (Matthew 4:4). You keeping writing posts means, you keep on feeding their soul with God's word.
4. Share Christian Blog Posts.
Good things needs to be shared. Try to share inspiring post you might have written or come across with. Share them on facebook, whatsApp, twitter and others etc.
5. Create Targeted Ad campaign.
You can use this to target specific people or location. You can do this on facebook or use google adsense, youtube adsense or adword for your website. Targeted ad campaign saturates the online space with the gospel presence. If you have the means take advantage of this too.
6. Post Videos On Youtube.
Video contents are powerful since not everything can be expressed properly in letters or graphics. You can do a video message. People might be encouraged by seeing you speak God's word. But it's great if you do it regularly.
7. Share Or Do A Podcast on Audio Sites Or In Your Blog.
You can do a voice recording of youself teaching the gospel. Someone might bump into this and listen to it. Create account on Soundcloud or audiomack etc, make your podcast and post it there. If you have a blog you can also post it there too.
8. Do a Live Video.
Sometimes you need to go live. Being live suggests being alive with your message (you are for real). Now it's very easy to go live on social media like Facebook, Youtube, Zoom, Instagram, Twitter etc. Choose whichever suits you.
Dedicating Yourself To Online Evangelism
Evangelism is a long term affair, and one should keep up the fire. Online evangelism needs dedication and patience in propagating the gospel presence online.
I believe what I have written has gone a long way to helping your online evangelism journey. Thank you for reading and God blesses you.
Seven Thunder Revelation (What The Voice Of The Thunder Said in Revelation 10:1-4)
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.” (Revelation 10: 1-4)
The seven thunders represent the seven mysteries of the end time. Apostle John was about to write what the seven thunders said, but he was told not to. Being curious to know what these seven thunders said, I tried to get an insight on what it is.
Believe me, the bible is a book full of mysteries. Mysteries are hidden things or revelations to be uncovered. The sound of thunders are symbolic for God's wrath or anger as describes in Psalm 29.
Thunders are also is a symbol of war between two opposing forces or spirits. It's like a reaction between two opposing forces or spirit.
Digging Deep Into What The Seven(7) Thunder Said?
Though it was sealed by Apostle John, yet it was unveiled by Christ. Christ unveiled the mysteries of what the seven thunder said earlier in the book Revelation chapter 6 from verse 1. John's seven seals were loosed from the scroll by Christ. The scroll contains the mysteries of the end times.
While the lamb (Jesus) was loosing the seals, each of the four living creatures spoke with a voice like thunder. You see, the seals were broken by Christ, and the four living creatures spoke with voices like thunder. John had no power to loose the seals he used in sealing the scroll.
The events in the book of Revelation doesn't seems to be arranged timely. For chapter 10 preceeded chapter 6. Chapter 10 showed us when it as sealed, while chapter 6 showed us when the seals were loosed and the scroll opened by the lamb.
What the seven thunder said reflects what was revealed when Christ loosed the seven seals from the scroll or book. The living creature reflects the thunder.
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d] and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been. (Revelaton 6:1-11)
You can read my post about what the four living creature signifies on The Apocalypse The End Of The World.
Thank You.

What Does The 666 Signifies in 2022 ?
Trying to figure what really the mystical number 666 would mean is something of great wisdom and understanding. Honestly speaking, a lot of people have decoded this part of the bible wrongly which I’m going to correct.
The 666 according to Revelation 13: 16–18 states from the old king James:
“ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666). “
From this passage the writer John says we ought to count the number of the beast, not calculating the number as being misinterpreted by some other versions. It’s an error calculating numbers of name, trying to see whether it equates 666. We need to count this mystical number before knowing what it really and truly means! Let’s count.
The same book of Revelation tells us about 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls of anger in Revelation 5:1; Revelation 8:1–2; and Revelation 16:1. First the seven seals, it was made to give a sign of God’s wrath on the wicked on earth except for the seventh seal which was reserved for worship in Heaven. That is, only 6 seals communicated God’s work of wrath, the seventh was for His rest and worship in Heaven. “ And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” (Revelation 8:1) .
Also the 7 trumpets, 6 communicated God’s work of wrath only the seventh was an exception.
“ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.” (Revelation 11:15–19).
And for the 7 bowls or vials of anger of God, the seventh bowl didn’t actually communicate rest this time because the 666 which is a warning sign is already counted completely and the Seventh shows that God is done with wickedness : “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.” (Revelation 16:17)
So, what’s the meaning of this mystical number? I hereby make it clear that the 666 has nothing to do with imperfection or Satanic trinity as some believe, but it means PERDITION.
“ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” (Revelation 19:20)
“ And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” (Revelation 17:11).
“ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
I believed this has answered the question.

Attributes of the Anti-Christ
Attributes of the Anti-Christ
"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (Daniel 7:25)
1. Speaking pompous words. This is an act of blasphemy. The Anti-Christ would love to use insulting statement in order to trample upon his rivals or stamp them with his feet. He would be driven by strong hatred and lies. He speaks proudly of himself. There has never been a president in America as blasphemous as the current American president.
2. Wearing out the saints of the most high. The Anti-Christ through his lies shall deceive continually the Jews especially, and the christian. He would wear them out with his lies, like saying that he is their savior or messiah- their only chance to peace and prosperity!
3.He will think to change times and laws and they shall be given into his hands. This means that the Anti-Christ would seek tenure elongation and he would upturn critical laws, and they shall be given to him.
4. He shall build walls around Jerusalem as a sign of being their Messiah (Daniel 9:25). As we all know the current American president is seeking to build a wall around its border. That might be a near sign of what would be done in Jerusalem.

The Daily Sacrifice
Photo credit: Aljazeera.com |
''Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. ''And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered. ''Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? (Daniel 8:11-13).
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

'When Shall the End Be ?'
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
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.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The Spirit of Love
Love is a spiritual gift from the God (Romans 5:5). Love also is a fruit of the HolySpirit (Galatians 5:22). We are created with love, which is the spirit of obedience to the creator. Even the wind obeyed Jesus. So everything on earth was created with love. But what went wrong? Why is everyone not living in love and by love? The truth is for human to love is a matter of our will or choices in life. Man was created differently. Man was created to be son of God (Luke 3:38). God did not create man as a puppet, but a soul. He is a reasonable creature, that needs his will and consent to truly loves.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails....... (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
The Heart to Love
There are two types of heart. The heart of love; the heart of devil. Each time we disobey God, the heart of devil comes into us. While each time we obey God the heart of love dwells in us. God told Cain that Sin (a devilish heart) lies at the door because Cain did not obey. Genesis 4:7,
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."(New International Version)
This devilish heart is to turn the world upside down, as Jesus highlighted in John 10:10- to steal, kill, and destroy. We need the spirit of love to heal our broken hearts.
A lot of people are not getting any answers to their prayers because of the heart of devil. They walk in darkness as in 1 John 5:7,
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."(New International Version)
.
The Spirit of love is also the Spirit of Christ. While the Spirit of the Anti-Christ is the spirit of hatred. The Anti-Christ is already here with us, he is a wicked king and leader of the world's government....
The mark of Christ is the Spirit of love.
Receiving the Spirit of Love
1. Walk in the Spirit. You need to ask God daily to open your spirituals eyes to see, and your spiritual ears to hear. Life is beyond the natural. A natural man cannot love God, because he is born blind (John 3:3). Those who walk in the Spirit, walk in the light. Through light we can obey God's word.
2. Looking Unto Jesus. Hebrew 12:2 says,
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;"(King James Version)When you look to Jesus and follow his steps you are walking in love. Peter at the sea took a bold step and came out of the ship to walk on the sea while he was looking unto Jesus. But while he began to look at the storm he started sinking. A lot of christian are like that, they were doing well in their spiritual life when they were looking at Jesus, but now they are sinking because they are looking at their enemies, problems or their pastor.
3. Be Consistent with God's Word. Fear comes with inconsistencies. In a stopwatch were the number changes at a given interval, then someone tells you that the number in the stopwatch is 2. Would you believe? For sure, it's no. Why? It's because the number is inconsistent, so is fear. Satan brings different thoughts or false evidence to bombard your heart. When you're ignorant of this device you began to tremble or shake in your faith. Believe in the truth!
Conclusion
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.(2 Timothy 1:7).

Scenes of the End Time
Jesus noted the signs of the end to His disciples at Mount Olive. He gave the scenerio of the event that would take place to culminate to the end of humanity and peace on earth. One great fact he mentioned was false christs, false prophets (anti-christs). It therefore indicate that the government of the world will be given to the Anti-christ or anti-christs (because they are already in numbers).
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.
