*SIGN OF THE TIMES: HELPING THOSE LEFT BEHIND

We are right at the end of this human age, as I hope all who read our materials know.  Jesus is soon to come to collect his believers, and the seven year Tribulation will begin.  The majority of people will be left behind on the earth to endure that horror and to try to survive the government of the Antichrist and the terrible actions of the false prophet.  Many do not.

Once Jesus has collected his believers and departed, there will at that moment not be any believers in the Lord living on earth.  Imagine the horror.  But there will surely be those who had thought they were Christians but really had not known the Lord and perhaps had just gone to a church from time to time.  These people especially might realize what they have missed and might search hard for the Lord, going to get videos and books from church and ministry libraries.  And some of them will become the Tribulation saints in Revelation 7:9-17.

Certainly all of us know others who will not be going with Jesus if he were to come right now.  Family, relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors.  It doesn’t matter how nice people are.  It matters whether they have been born again, born of water and the Spirit as Jesus defined….and whether they truly believe in Jesus.  It matters that they seek to do the will of God and whether they have the faith of little children.

What can you do to help those left behind, regardless of how  much they may or may not have known?  Certainly you can leave out in full public view in your home things that will help.  In our house we have our CD we recorded several years ago, WHERE ARE THEY?, lying out in the living room on a table in full view, along with a copy of our book WAKE UP AMERICA! JESUS IS COMING SOON.  You can get either by going to the store in the menu column on our ministry website homepage or by contacting the ministry.

Also leaving a Bible in view with key sections marked would be a good idea.  Sections surely to include would be 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; Luke 21, Matthew 24, Mark 13, John 3, Revelation 6 – 20.  There are many more you might pick.

Another key thought would be to leave instructions for people to go to the Return of Jesus Resources page on our ministry website.  (Hopefully ministry sites like ours will be left on the Internet then!).  They can just click on that subject in the menu column on the homepage.  That Return page has all sorts of links and information that would help, links to key writings and to key videos and more.

Another possibility is for you to write and leave in view a letter to anyone explaining in your own words where you have gone and what the reader should do.

It really is true dear friends and partners.  Jesus really is coming soon.  I know just a few years ago probably none of us thought we would be seeing this day so soon, but the time is now here.  It is now.  When the last person that God intends to truly accept Jesus as Lord during this time period does so, Jesus will undoubtedly be here in a flash. 

To the extent possible, share your faith and the truth of the times and Jesus’ return with others.  Ask the Holy Spirit to arrange divine encounters and to guide your conversations with others.  And still remember, only God the Father can draw someone to Jesus.  We can all help in this, but in the end he does the drawing.  Jesus said that himself.

May God bless you and your family as you go forward in these times.  Looking around at all that is happening in our country and elsewhere is surely troubling - other than occasionally seeing a place where a revival has sprung up such as the recent Asbury University example.  Hopefully there will be more before Jesus comes, but the time is short.  Perhaps during the Tribulation itself there will be a great end times revival among some of the people left behind, those Tribulation saints.

* WATCHMAN WARNING: THE OPEN DOOR THAT NO ONE CAN SHUT

  

[the following is almost entirely scripture put together with a few connecting sentences]

 

What Christ opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.  Do not let him say of you as God said of the Israelites that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  Stay focused on the Lord and be alert.  In contrast to the lost masses of this generation, follow the steps below.  Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

 

• Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.

 

• Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

 

• Let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

 

• Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

 

• Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things

 

• Rejoice always,pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit.  Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.

 

• God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

 

• Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

There will be terrible times in these last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

 

Watch that you are not deceived.  Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

 

Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

 

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day [the Day of the Lord] will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction [the Antichrist].  I would say we are well into the rebellion, the falling away from God; the Antichrist though has not yet been revealed.

 

The Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.  We will all be changed.   For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

 

Remember Jesus’ words on the last page of the Bible:

 

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

 

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.  Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

 

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

 

“Yes, I am coming soon.”

 

Amen.  Come Lord Jesus.
