A) WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE?
In the end times or last days, the Bible warns us that there will be lots of troubles, sufferings and what will people become eventually. Christians will even face persecutions. The word that describes this event is called Tribulation (The Great Suffering – Jeremiah 30:7, Zephaniah 1:15–16 [7 years – Daniel 7:25]).
Zephaniah 1:15–16 King James Version (KJV)
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
Jeremiah 30:7 King James Version (KJV)
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Daniel 7:25 King James Version (KJV)
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.
B) WHAT IS RAPTURE?
The Word of God also mentioned that Jesus is coming back for His true believers. When this happens, the dead in Christ shall rise first and then those believers who are alive will be caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air in a twinkling of an eye.
This event is called ‘Rapture‘. Although this word is not found in the Word of God, this word was given to describe the entire event in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 15:52-58. ‘Rapturo‘ in Latin which means kidnapping is the closest word to ‘Rapture’ to explain the believers to be caught up to be with the Lord.
(NOTE: Greek word: harpagēsometha = will be caught away)
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:52-58 King James Version (KJV)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
We MUST all be self-disciplined to live a righteous life that is pleasing to God in order not to get left behind when ‘Rapture’ day happens. For those who are left behind, they will be facing great tribulations. We must be prepared and stay strong no matter what happens. Each and everyone of us have our own responsibility to guard our salvation. We should ask ourselves “Am I prepared to die?” “Will I be ready for the coming of Jesus Christ?” We must NEVER EVER sell our souls to Satan / the Devil no matter what happens. We have been commanded by God to be strong and courageous:-
Joshua 1:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Words meanings for Joshua 1:9:-
1) thee (archaic) = you (2nd person singular – objective case)
2) thou (archaic) = you (2nd person singular – subjective case)
3) whithersoever (archaic) = wherever
4) goest (archaic) = go
C) WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE US TO DO WHILE WE ARE LIVING ON THIS EARTH?
We MUST read the Word of God (the Holy Bible) from cover to cover and study it well enough ourselves. Do not depend on anybody to teach us the Bible. We will not be able to know everything that God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are teaching us if we do not read the Bible. The Word of God stated clearly that we will perish if we lack knowledge in the Word of God (the Holy Bible):-
Hosea 4:6 King James Version (KJV)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Words meanings for Hosea 4:6:-
1) hast (archaic) = have
2) thee (archaic) = you (2nd person singular – objective case)
3) thou (archaic) = you (2nd person singular – subjective case)
It is everyone’s duty to share the gospel and to teach carefully without adding to and taking away from the Word of God as this is the commandment from God:-
Matthew 28:19-20 King James Version (KJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Titus 1:9 King James Version (KJV)
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Deuteronomy 4:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 Ye (You) shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye (you) diminish (remove, take away) ought from it, that ye (you) may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 12:32 King James Version (KJV)
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
In Revelation 22:18–19, those who add to the Word of God are condemned to plagues, and those who delete are said to die eternally:-
Revelation 22:18-19 King James Version (KJV)
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Teachers of the Word of God have been forewarned not to teach wrongly as they will receive the greater condemnation:-
James 3:1 King James Version (KJV)
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Words meanings for James 3:1:-
1) brethren (archaic) = brothers
2) bridle = a piece of equipment used to direct a horse
D) UNDERSTANDING THE TIMELINE
As crucial as it is for us to ensure that our souls are saved from being condemned to hell, it is equally important to know where are we now in the ‘Timeline’ of human existence. Reason being, so we can be alert at all time and to educate others on this matter. Understanding the Timeline will help remind us the urgency of staying alert at all times.
Prior to year 2019, we were living in a different world without the Covid-19 coronavirus. Many prophecies in the Bible had been fulfilled and we see many current signs as in accordance as well:-
Matthew 24:3-14 King James Version (KJV)
Signs of the End of the Age
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 (sin shall increase), 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.
(*IMPORTANT NOTE: The great fall away = Matthew 24:10-12).
MANY = MAJORITY / MOST
In other words, the majority or most will fall away from their faith. Look around you carefully and know who are the majority and who are the minority. Can you see now who are the majority and who are the minority? What are the majority doing? What are the minority doing?)
Matthew 10:21-23 King James Version (KJV)
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

E) SATAN’S PLAN EXPOSED:-
In the end times, the Word of God warns us about the plan of Satan / Devil / the Enemy to deceive humankind into receiving his mark (claiming their souls):-
Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 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:
17 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.
Rules and regulations that involves the above mentioned law that does not permit anyone to be able to buy or sell, is a self explanatory agenda explaining that this has to do with the mark of the beast.
During the Covid19 lockdowns, many places put up signages on their doors informing only which category are allowed to go in and buy.
The Bible clearly states that Satan is cunning and that He is the father of lies. He is not going to come to you face to face in a scary look (with two horns on its head, scary red ugly looking face and a tail) holding a stamp chop in his hands and telling you that he will put a chop on your forehead. Instead, he will come as how the Bible tells us.
Satan will disguise/masquerades himself in a kind appearance and as someone who has the solution to everything. He will try his best to convince humankind by using cunning and subtle ways to trick you so that you will fall into his traps and be deceived. We need to be on alert as all his words are lies:-
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
F) HOW DO WE KNOW IF A PERSON IS TRULY THE CHILD OF GOD / THE MAN OF GOD / WOMAN OF GOD?:-
The Word of God teaches us to be wise. God has taught us NOT TO BE NAIVE by putting our trust on anyone but to TEST EVERY SPIRIT in everyone. See the guidelines from the Word of God below:-
1 John 4:1-6 King James Version (KJV)
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Many apostles of Christ in the churches and ministers of righteousness in the ministries are false apostles and deceitful workers working for Satan to deceive humankind. Even Satan transformed himself into an angel of light to deceive everyone:-
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 King James Version (KJV)
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Therefore, WE MUST KNOW HOW TO SEE WITH OUR SPIRITUAL EYES and NEVER LET OUR GUARD DOWN!
G) HOW TO GUARD OUR SOULS:-
1.1 Respect our heavenly Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit with great reverence and fear.
Exodus 20:7 King James Version (KJV)
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
1.2 Read the Bible and pray (talk to Father Lord) everyday and at all times. Otherwise, we are not saved. Only those who abide in Him, His Word, believes and obey (do His Will/Wishes) are saved:-
John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath (has) sent, him ye (you) believe not.
John 15:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
1.3 Obey everything that God & Jesus have commanded us to do:-
Jesus said “Follow me.” We must follow Him and learn to be like Him. DO NOT FOLLOW human beings. Jesus is the PERFECT REDEEMER who redeems us from our sins by washing all our sins clean if we believe in Him and confess that He is the son of God. He is the only one who gave His life and suffered for us so that we have a way to return to God. He is the way, the truth and the life.
John 14:6 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 4:19 King James Version (KJV)
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
1.4 Repent from our sins frequently. Be humble enough to ask forgiveness from our heavenly Father in our prayer closet and sin no more. Be pure in our hearts and mind like children.
Luke 13:3 King James Version (KJV)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
John 5:14 King James Version (KJV)
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John 8:11 King James Version (KJV)
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Matthew 18:3-4 King James Version (KJV)
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
1.5 Forgive others as how our heavenly Father had forgiven us.
Matthew 6:14-15 King James Version (KJV)
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
1.6 Live a holy life (be transformed to Christ likeness) because we are answerable or accountable to God when we meet Him.
Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
John 3:3 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1.7 Stay alert at all times. Do not live a relaxed life because Jesus had warned us that He will come like a thief.
Revelation 16:15 King James Version (KJV)
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Matthew 24:40-42 King James Version (KJV)
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
1.8 Serve Father Lord with our different gifts and talents.
Deuteronomy 11:13 King James Version (KJV)
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
In the scripture below, we see how God protects those who serve Him:-
Revelation 7:2-3 King James Version (KJV)
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
1.9 Put on the Whole Armor of God.
Ephesians 6:10-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.
1.10 Make disciples. Teach others.
Matthew 28:19-20 King James Version (KJV)
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
1.11 Make sure that we are not ‘lukewarm’ Christians. Check our hearts if we really love God, Jesus and Holy Spirit deeply.
Revelation 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
1.12 Make sure we repent everyday because there is no place for the unholy at all in the kingdom of God.
Revelation 21:27 King James Version (KJV)
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Revelation 21:8 King James Version (KJV)
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 King James Version (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 5:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
H) LAST DAYS EVENTS:-
1) EMERGENCE OF FALSE CHRIST

2 Timothy 4:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
5) MOCKERS WILL MOCK ABOUT JESUS’ SECOND COMING
2 Peter 3:3-4 King James Version (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 5:3 Amplified Bible

11) INCREASED OF KNOWLEDGE AND TRAVEL
Daniel 12:4 Amplified Bible
