* SIGN OF THE TIMES: QUICK POINTS YOU CAN USE

Quick bold points taken from the world around that make the case of where we are in time.  There are lots of things we have said and could say about the imminent return of Jesus, but you might use these points below taken right out of the daily news to get the attention of some who have so far been asleep or are not alert to what is happening.
Just from this list alone it is very apparent something very big is about to happen.

• Reported from Israel: top rabbis are afraid to leave the country because they do not want to miss the coming of the Messiah (Israel Today).

• One very top Israeli rabbi has pointedly just said the Messiah is coming soon and that he has been in communication with the Messiah (Breaking Israeli News; Israel Today).

• In Brazil a gigantic Christian meeting referred to as the Send Conference was recently held in three stadiums – 140,000 attending in all. Note the name:     Tens of thousands there adopted various mission fields.  I’ve heard the number was 70,000.  Sending forth of believers to the world.  Think that might be part of the last days effort of God to get the people into his Kingdom that have not yet come to Jesus, those elect who haven’t yet realized who they are? (Fox News)

• Billions of locusts have been ravaging East Africa. Now there are similar reports of locusts moving into Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, India, and even China.  (CBN)

• Coronavirus – a potential pestilence and all that entails, and other disasters like multiple earthquakes are the stuff of our daily world news. You may not see the reports of the earthquakes, but they are always indeed happening.  There are daily many many small earthquakes in the world.  But in just the last month there have been several major ones, like the one Sunday in Turkey and Iran, the one earlier in the month in Japan, the one between Cuba and Jamaica that even provoked evacuations in Miami, one in the Solomon Islands, and another in Turkey.   All of this is in line with prophecies of the last days. 

• The serious effort to get a real peace plan signed between Israel and the Palestinians continues. Obviously this has not yet happened, but the “deal of the century” recently put forward by the US government and surprisingly favorably received by some Arab nations is a clear indication we are getting close.  Looking at Daniel 9:27 and Ezekiel 38-39, the plan the Israelites sign must evidently give them a sense of true peace since they move to living in unwalled villages - e.g., no protection.  (The signing of an agreement which accomplishes this will be the final straw, and the Tribulation will begin.)

And then we have this very disturbing and sad point:  According to a study by Lifeway, 98% of the churches in America do not talk about the return.  We’ve written a great deal about that haven’t we.  Somehow, for whatever reason, the churches are asleep.  Unless things change dramatically, we are going to have a lot of shocked people on earth.

TO CHRISTIAN WORKERS TOILING IN QUIETNESS AND WONDERING

Many wonderful people toil in this world to do the work of the Lord, to fulfill what they understand is their calling.

For some the results are immediately apparent, such as giving relief aid to starving people, helping build houses for the poor, that kind of thing.

For many others the results are not as obvious – such as for those striving to help others understand who Jesus is, what he did, who they are and can be in him.  Remember, Jesus said some sow and others reap.  The sowers who are aggressively out there may operate in a personally lonely world.  Telling the truth, even the wonderful God’s truth, is not something a lot of people want to or can receive easily.  The evil one has done a great deal of work creating interference, noise, confusion.

Once I wrote a poem to Emily Dickinson.  She is one of the two or three that might be considered America’s greatest poet.  Now I have no evidence she strived in ministry anytime, but she wrote countless poems that are quickly read and go right to the heart of life and life’s great issues.  Her poems are just plain wonderful.

Yet in her life she did not know that she was so regarded.  Maybe one or two of her poems were published in a local paper.  She just lived a lonely, quiet life, not married.  At one point she wrote a poignant poem that began with this line:

     This is my letter to the world,
     That never wrote to me,-     

There is more, but that makes the point about her life.  So one day I decided to answer her letter to the world with this poem:

A Reply to Emily Dickinson   (poem copyright © 2004 by John Newlin)
     We received your letter to the world
     That never wrote to you;
     We read it twice, thousands of times,
     Your words and heart come through.
   
     Our physical hands are the ones
     That you just could not see;
     With admiration from afar,
     We judge you tenderly.

She would have liked that poem.  It is in her style.

But my point to all of you in sharing this is that you do not know your impact on others.  You have no idea how you are impacting them or how you are being used by God.

Just one closing example.  For years we were on television from New England all the way to Florida.  One a day a young man from the Boston area called.  He requested a few CDs.  I offered but he did not want to be added to the distribution list.  We talked just a few moments.  Suddenly he blurted out ”Your programs are wonderful!  Saved my life.”  And with that he was gone.  I lived a long time on that phone call.

God knows who you are, what you are doing, what you need.  Sometimes when you feel most alone, he just steps in.  And then sometimes maybe when you are so alone, you wish he would step in!  Just remember, we don’t see the big picture.  We can’t.  If you are doing what you think you are supposed to be doing, what God has called you to do, that is it.  You are fulfilling your call.  And maybe this message from me is God’s message to you.

NOTE:
It goes without saying that we are living in the last days before the return of the Lord.  It goes without saying that most people on earth, including a great many who attend churches on Sunday, don’t know at all about this.  They just aren’t aware.  For your family and friends and really anyone you care about, please get copies of our book WAKE UP AMERICA! now!  Give copies to those you care for.  Most people will accept a gift of a book, even if they are difficult for you to speak to about such important matters.
