Spiritual blindness today…
Prophetically, the beginning of the final 7 years of human history, as man knows it, is face-to-face with this generation right now. All of the End Time signs are clear to those who are astute scripturally, only closer than most recognize.
Scriptures are clear that just before the 1st earthly judgement of flooding occurred (almost 4500 years ago) the earth’s population was keen to that impending 1st judgement. No doubt, that during Noah’s building of the ark for approximately 100 years (Gen.5: 32, 6:3, 7:6) that his generation heard repeatedly his prophetical cry to repent. But, Noah’s generation did not repent. “Then, the Lord saw that the wicked- ness of man was great on the earth, & that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Gen.6:5).
Today, just as scriptures predicted for the End Times, the Bible’s 2nd judgement involving “fire & brimstone” (Rev.14:10) is also approaching rapidly in the forthcoming Great Tribulation period. But, the same global blindness & wickedness that existed in Noah’s era also exists today as predicted, so far.
Jesus made the comparison when He said, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah…... for in those days which were before the flood….. they did not understand until the flood came & took them all away…”. (Math.24:37-39). He also said, "Be on guard.....lest that day come upon you suddenly like a trap." [Luke 21:34]. "They" refers to rebellious people left in the Great Tribulation.
Daniel also predicted the last generation’s evil mindset & blindness. He predicted that, “….none of the wicked will understand.” (Dan.12:10). Other writers (like Paul & the Apostle John) are also specific regarding the last generation’s wickedness of heart. Paul prophesied that, “…In the last days, perilous times will come….”. He then went on to detail the numerous profiles of End Time mindsets & evil behavior. (2 Tim.2:3: 1-9). Today, those “perilous times” are here right now & will become even more perilous while many of the world’s people remain stiff-necked in the face of God’s clear & imminent re-intervention into the human race.
Spiritual Awakening coming…
Today in the USA , the greatest Christian country in the world, most ministers are largely seen tickling the ears of the body of Christ with “elementary” things (Heb.6:1) rather than exhorting God’s people with the prophetical voice of God. Only a small percentage of American ministers today can be heard continually blowing the trumpet as to the imminent return of Christ, & with teachings that “press towards maturity” in Christ. (Heb.6:1, 2).
Prophetically, this is about to suddenly change so that God’s leaders & His people will collectively rise up into the unity of the faith (Eph.4:13) & into virtual readi- ness for the coming of Christ, our King. A true spiritual awakening is about to occur & will ignite the children of God into a mature, holy & glorious bride who is prepared for the soon coming bridegroom. (Eph.5:27). ( Chapter 15 expounds )
God’s written Word itself will be responsible for this spiritual awakening. Soon, in one day, God’s written Word will draw millions of persons worldwide to the reve- lation of the Lord Jesus Christ & of the nearness of His return. No one man will receive any credit for this coming awakening. But, God Himself & His written Word will be exalted, honored & feared.
“Concealed” until the End Times…
Over the past decades (even centuries) many commentaries have been written con- cerning the End Times. In fact, numerous End Time topics (like “who is the antichrist?”) have been misunderstood & even mysterious from the times they were actually written thousands of years ago by prophets like Ezekiel, Daniel & John the Revelator. Significantly, Daniel himself stated in the closing of his own predictions for the End Times that full understanding would be “concealed & sealed up until the End Time”, when they are finally fulfilled. (Dan.12:4, 9).
But today , the End Time topics that have been hidden in God’s Word & have been “CON”- cealed, are about to become “RE”-vealed, as found in this writing. The written Word itself will pierce through the spiritual veil, causing a massive worldwide revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ & of His imminent return. People all over the world will suddenly match today’s world events with the clear predictions of the Bible for the End Times.
Outpouring of His Spirit…
After spiritual eyes are opened worldwide from the written Word, then an awesome worldwide move & outpouring of God’s Spirit upon His people will also occur. Millions of people all over the world will surrender to Christ as their Savior, Lord & soon coming King. Then, God’s Spirit will increase mightily in a powerful & awesome display of His End Time favor & anointing upon those who hear His voice. (Dan.11:32). The body of Christ will truly be likened to “wise virgins” as Jesus predicted for the End Times. (Math.25:2).
At that point, His people will truly be on fire for Christ with a fresh, eternal commitment to Him & with the heightened awareness of His nearness. This is so “that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she (the body of Christ) should be holy & blameless.” (Eph.5:27).
A falling away…
However, also soon coming, scriptures say that “some will fall away from the faith.” (1Tim.4:1). Jesus called these “foolish virgins” who went back into the world. (Math.25:8-10) Instead of embracing Christ & readying for His imminent return they will turn to “paying attention to deceitful spirits & doctrines of demons….”, as Paul stated. (1Tim.4:1). From the secular perspective, some will downplay or even scoff at the whole idea of Christ and/or of His imminent return. Even some USA ministers will be heard publicly pondering or scoffing about the prophetical & spiritual things that are at hand today.
But, the Apostle Paul confirms that End Time scoffers of Christ will be so wicked-minded that they will be under “a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” (2 Thess.2:11, 12). This reverse-mindset is already recognizable today in the world & also in the USA. Biblical principles that are true & good are viewed today by many as evil & false. Conversely, what the Bible identifies as evil & false is viewed by many as acceptable & true.
God’s people will be His End Time voice…
The prophet Daniel predicted that in the End Times, “…those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many.” (Dan.11:33). Now, in this last generation today, the true people of God who hear His voice, obey His Word & glory in Christ Jesus, will be used mightily to provide insight to many worldwide as to the prophetical End Time events that are about to unfold. Many of God’s people will do incredible exploits to the glory of God in these prophetical days ahead & will be a feared people. Accurate handling of God’s Word & sharp discernment by His Spirit, will both be essential to the believer in these coming times.
Fresh insight from God’s Word & by His Spirit will open the spiritual eyes of millions of people to the nearness of Christ’s return & to the promise of eternal life found only in Christ Jesus. The shocking reality of what exists right now on the world’s stage today plus End Time truths revealed from God’s Word, are unveiled in the following pages of this major prophetical word to End Time believers.
