I
hope you will read this through to the end.
We are at that time I have spoken so much about over the years. It was thirty years ago that God came into my
car and called me away from the life I had been pursuing. No longer would I be an international
business executive but rather someone following the Lord and doing whatever he
said and going wherever he led.
Over
the years we have seen all sorts of signs and wonders, such as the healing miracles
with which many of you are familiar. I
would have been happy just to continue to hold healing services. Many of you
have seen or experienced the joy of God’s divine healing. And then there were other miracles I have
shared with you, how he orchestrated my meeting all sorts of his generals or
going forward in various ministry ways.
Then
came that moment in 2005 while I was preaching to a group in Wilmington
NC. Right in my ear the Lord said “John,
tell them who I am and that I am coming soon.”
Well, we had been telling people about Jesus but now I began more and
more focusing on the return as well. And
the Lord over time has revealed more and more about that return – in late
conversations in the middle of the night, in dreams and visions, and through
other people like the Nigerian pastor who received a long word from the Lord
about me and thankfully shared it.
So
over the years I have spoken and written more and more about Jesus’ imminent
return. Years ago he had asked me to
write WAKE UP AMERICA, and I had tried.
Finally after years of revelations and experiences, that book was
written and came out a couple years ago.
I wish all of you had a copy. I
wish everyone had a copy. People need to
know the truths of where we are in God’s time and how the prophecies of things
to happen before his return have happened.
But, alas, so many just are not interested or have a deaf ear.
In
recent months events have escalated leading up to his return. A few months ago the Lord guided me through a
dream to the fact that we only have hours.
In other words, while for a long time we had talked in terms of the last
“days,” now we should talk in terms of the last “hours.” How many we have left before he comes to
collect his believers I do not know, but I do know it is very very soon.
Any
of you who have not gotten a copy of our book WAKE UP AMERICA! I encourage to
get one, because I cannot reproduce here all the prophecies fulfilled and all
the description of what is about to happen and what you need to know. You can get that book from our ministry or
from Amazon.
Perhaps
the greatest thing and most obvious thing to happen since the book came out is
the great explosion in deception and delusion in our society. Huge numbers now go about acting and believing
and doing things that believers know are wrong, are not true, are not only
against God’s law but also against the Constitution and the foundations of the
United States. Yet – and this is most
shocking – many senior leaders of the nation have not only not recognized this
but have taken steps to aid and support frightening anarchic groups bent on
destroying the nation. How do I know
that is their goal? Because they say it
is.
Back
before WWII Hitler told of his plans, but the world did not listen. Well, now, these violent truly criminal
groups are destroying buildings, monuments, memorials, businesses, and even
people, so all that is obvious evidence of what they are doing, yet so many
leaders have not taken the steps of their absolute responsibility to protect
the people.
The
fundamental reason for the existence of a government is the protection of the
people. That is first and foremost. Many governors and mayors in recent weeks and
months have failed this test. So too a
great number of Congressmen and Senators.
It has been shocking to those who know the history of America and know
the role the country has played in such gigantic world events as WWI and WWII
and the moon landing and countless other efforts to help other people and
countries to realize there are large groups of people who understand nothing of
that and in fact see America as a great evil.
It has been a slow realization on the part of many to understand that
many of our young people have been in universities and colleges where they were
literally brainwashed in this regard.
For
some time now many have been concerned about the so-called “woke” society and
the “cancel culture,” that view from the left
to do away with basic views and words and other things of society they
do not agree with and to not listen or discuss opposing viewpoints. But most did not know this had gotten to the
point of wanting to tear down society and to not even be able to recognize the
greatness of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Columbus, and so on.
Early
this summer the horrible murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis instantly
brought about protests and demonstrations rightfully against police brutality
in that situation. And most right
thinking people saw that death as horrible and realized there should be some
changes. But while people were thinking
about this, suddenly the protests turned horribly violent, so violent that
people of all races were shocked. No
right thinking people in America want to destroy the country! This is still the greatest nation on earth in
terms of individual freedoms and opportunity.
Hundreds of thousands come into the country every year, some legally,
some illegally. Why do they come? Because they recognize how wonderful America
is in comparison to other nations. You
don’t see hundreds of thousands trying to get into Russia or China or Cuba or
one of the Middle Eastern countries do you?
Of course not.
Now
that this violence has been permitted to continue for so long, we also see
other expanded individual and group violence in cities throughout the
country. Murders are way up in NY City
for example. Chicago continues with
horrible murders and shootings every weekend.
NOW THE POINT:
What we are witnessing
right now is the spread of a massive delusion over large numbers of people,
that following great deception in the educational system and elsewhere for so
many years. We now have a large number of persons bent on
destruction. They don’t in some cases
know what they are destroying. As
someone said, they just hate and are angry.
In
some cities and states where the violent groups amidst the protestors destroyed
businesses and took over police facilities and harmed and even killed several,
liberal governors and mayors responded by not protecting the great majority of
the citizens of all races but rather allowed the destruction to continue and
even announced support for the violent groups, inaccurately calling it peaceful
protests.
It
is now sadly apparent that many from the “woke” world or “cancel culture” world
have been elected to high positions of government. Either that is true or these governors and
mayors are incredibly spineless individuals.
They are not going to protect the citizens nor the Constitution nor
society.
This
has been shocking to most Americans.
Equally shocking has been the deafening silence of the Democrats and of
many Republicans in Congress. Where are
they? Are they too in this deluded
group?
We
have seen some actions by the presidency and the administration to provide
support for law and order, but only in limited ways in a couple cities. I would remind everyone that back in 1957
when there was serious unrest in Arkansas, President Eisenhower sent in the 101st
airborne division of the military!
I
expect a lot more from our elected leaders than we have seen. It is obvious that many of the governors and
mayors were not fit nor qualified to hold their positions. Of course, the absolute responsibility for
this comes down to the population who voted them in. Americans for the most part have never like
politics and pay little attention to matters of government. Well now this attitude has come home to
roost. The foxes have taken over the
henhouse.
In a spiritual sense, we have these points to make:
1)
Jesus’ first and primary warning about the
time in which we live is that we should watch not to be deceived (Luke 21:8 and elsewhere). Deception is rampant in our nation. These violent groups are obviously deceived,
as are so many in the state governments and in the national media who support
this wild behavior. Many church leaders
are deceived as well. I hear many
talking about dealing with civil rights concerns, racial issues, but the fact
dear friends is that these rioting anarchists are not interested in civil
rights. They are not interested really
in changing the laws or modifying the police.
They are first and foremost interested in tearing down society. That is a communist, socialist approach to
life. The goal is destruction, not modification.
2)
Scripture tells us in II Thessalonians
2:10-12 that as we get deeper and deeper into the last days God will send a
spirit of delusion to people who just have refused to accept the truth (i.e.,
Jesus, the gospel, salvation). So the point is that at some point God’s
patience does run out. I had first
thought this would happen early in the Tribulation period after the Antichrist
had become active, but it is obvious now there is a great spirit of delusion
active in this world. These “woke,
cancel culture,” violent anarchic groups wreaking havoc on our cities right now
while pretending to be part of a legitimate protesting group are full of
deluded people. They cannot see the
truth. They cannot hear it. It is obviously impossible to have a rational
discussion with them.
3)
Beyond the above two points, 2 Timothy
3:1-5 stresses the rise in lawlessness in this time and II Thessalonians 2:3
the falling away from God which is so evident.
SO
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
Obviously
Satan must be enjoying all this. He and
his minions are working extremely hard in these last days to destroy as many
lives as possible, to keep as many as possible out of the Kingdom of God.
Here
is what will be happening in the coming period leading up to the return of the
Lord and why it is happening:
As
some of you know, in the Tribulation period there is a leader of evil called
the Antichrist. Somehow he is so
appealing initially that he is able to take over many nations. He seeks to take over the world and run a
one-world government. At the midpoint of
the Tribulation he takes up residence in the temple in Jerusalem. He has an assistant called the false prophet
who works to put together a one world church.
Now
there are many in the world and in the United States who think that government
always knows best. They would like to
take away individual freedoms and turn most things over to the government. That point of view is opposite to the
fundamentals of America. If there is to
be a one world government, America must be changed. It must be weakened. Its people must change. A weakened America might eventually be
willing to submit to a one world government, something the historical USA would
have never done.
That is the objective
of the devil in all this mess today – the continued building of the one-world
government. Not only are the violent demonstrators
deluded and deceived, so too are many incredibly wealthy people and many
academics and bureaucrats, all who apparently would be willing to move in that
direction. And apparently quite a few
officials in high positions.
I
think this is all going to happen so very fast.
Look at how the population of the USA was cowed and readily submitted
into staying at home and staying away from social gatherings where we might
have all discussed what was happening and come to a better understanding! Look at how we are all cowed even further by
now wearing masks wherever we go, so we cannot see people’s expressions and
sometimes have difficulty understanding them, so we look almost like aliens to
each other. This coronavirus disease has
had a great effect in setting the country and the world up for a one-world
government. Now this violence and
anarchy in the USA adds another great blow.
All
the while this is happening the true believers in Christ are even further
isolated, in their homes, apart from others.
Some churches are back meeting but many are not willing to go right
now. Attacks on churches have increased
greatly and statues of Jesus and Mary have been damaged in several places.
These
attacks happen elsewhere in the world too, as well as the tearing down of
statues and the sheltering of people in their homes. In England, for example, a statue of Winston
Churchill of all people was torn down.
No one did more to save England in WWII than Winston Churchill! When asked why he was doing this, a person
tearing down the statue said he did not know why. That is likely the answer of all the people
doing the tearing down. They just hate. They are angry. They are deceived and confused.
Along
with the Antichrist this false prophet mentioned above has a major role. He does perform signs and wonders in support
of the Antichrist. This government of
the Antichrist requires people to have a mark on their forehead or hand so they
can participate in commerce – so they can even buy food for example. Notice all the efforts today of high tech
firms and wealthy individuals and others to come up with ways to track people,
to mark people.
Notice
also how far down the road the move to a one-world religion has gone. Just recently the Pope called for every
Muslim, every Buddhist, every Christian, every person in every other religion,
to pray to his or her own god for an end to the coronavirus. That is about as lost as one can be. There is only one God. These other religions are as false as they
can be. And any gods there would be
demonic.
SO THE TIMELINE
Again
I encourage you to get the book and read more of all that is going to happen
and the specific steps. There is even an
appendix with six or more pages of characteristics of the Antichrist and the
false prophet listed.
Basically,
the situation will continue to deteriorate.
I know believers and those with great love for America and the
Constitution will strive to stand up. I
do hope that we believers and all who love America will be successful in
keeping the country from completely falling apart so that it and we will still
be standing and fighting for the side of the Lord when he comes to get us.
Paul
says the Day of the Lord will not come until there is a falling away from God
and the man of lawlessness – the Antichrist – is identified. The falling away from God has been going on
for some time now and is escalating. At
the same time, hopefully, people will continue to come to Christ.
At
some point before long an agreement will be signed with the nation of Israel,
with the Jews, that they will believe brings them true peace. The USA and others have been pressing a new
agreement in the Middle East for some time; I don’t think we are yet at the
point of having an agreement the Jews will believe brings them true peace, but
that should and could be very soon.
Whenever that
agreement is signed, the Tribulation will begin (Daniel 9:27). One other nugget of information here: the person leading the signing of that
agreement will be the Antichrist. So
when you see this happening, if you are still on earth, you will know who the
Antichrist is.
I
have long expected to see the Lord come to collect his believers right before
or after that signing. And I still
expect that. There are many scriptures
(Revelation 3:10. Romans 5:9, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Luke
21:36) that make the point that believers were not appointed to suffer
wrath. And God’s wrath is what is poured
out on the earth in the Tribulation period.
The last half of that period is referred to by some as the Great
Tribulation.
If
this taking away of believers by the Lord (called the rapture by many) does not
happen right around the signing of the agreement or before, I expect it will
surely happen during the early part of the Tribulation period.
There
is much more about how Jesus collects his saints, such as that he sends out his
angels to gather them, and you can read that in the book too.
Aside
from all the horrible events of the Tribulation regarding the pouring out of
God’s wrath, his judgment on the world described in Revelation from chapter
6-19, there still also remains the Gog-Magog war. This is the attack on Israel from a group
consisting of Russia, Iran, and Turkey, and more. God defeats this attack instantly. He just stops it and destroys the great bulk
of the attacking forces. This must be a
great shock to those left on earth but you would hope it might wake a few up to
become believers. I expect this to
happen very soon, before or after the signing of the agreement.
WE ARE THERE
We
are right at the end of the age. It is time to be ready to go. If you can and as the Holy Spirit leads, do
all you can to tell others about the gospel message and salvation…about Jesus! So many of our churches still are not
teaching about the return. Maybe the
pastors that are not are lost, do not have the revelation of the return, or prefer
the approval of man over God and therefore do not want to upset people with the
return information. Sadly, the Bible
points out teachers are held to a higher standard, so they will have to answer
for their not teaching about the return and warning the people of this great
event in human history.
But you
know the truth. You can tell
others. You can go forward. Right now.
· - Please
make sure you and yours are in a right relationship with God.
· - Read
the sections of the Bible so important to the return – Luke 21, Mark 13,
Matthew 24, Daniel 9, Daniel 12, Revelation, Luke 17, Zechariah 14, and much
more. Ask God to guide your
understanding of all this.
· - Get
our book WAKE UP AMERICA! and read it!!!
Read the scripture references!
· - Go to
our website and go to the Return of Jesus Resources page listed in the Menu
column on the home page
· - Go to
our blog and search on all the return subjects.
There are many there
· - If
anyone is interested, we will add them to our distribution list – no charge.
· - Operate
always in the gifts of the Spirit, especially the gift of discernment which is
so important today.
· - And
stand up for Jesus whenever you can.!!!!!
Remember
the great scripture:
If you do not stand firm in your
faith, you will not stand at all. –
Isaiah 7:9
Putting
this in modern English and applying it to our time right now, I would say this:
· - If
you will not stand up for your culture, you will lose your culture.
· - If
you will not stand up for your country, you will lose your country.
· - If
you do not stand up for your life, you may indeed lose your life (your physical
life – your spiritual life can never be lost if you are a true believer in
Jesus, for Jesus has said he will never lose you).
Nobody ever said
the last days would be easy. Already
they aren’t. Already 2020 is the worst
year I have seen for humanity in my life.
I do wonder just what the remaining months have in store.
And keep in mind the greatest stand up statement
from the Bible:
“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I
will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before
my Father in heaven.
-
Jesus in Matthew 10:32-33
Why
do you think God called you to be in the Kingdom led by his son? Was it to sit and cower and be silent? Hardly.
You are an adopted son of God, a member of the Kingdom of God. Most people are not. If you do not stand up for truth and do not
speak out in this wicked world, who will?
LOOKING
AT THE TIMELINE FROM TODAY
(some of these may happen simultaneously):
·
Increasing
lawlessness and falling away from God.
·
Jesus
comes in the air to collect his believers.
A shofar is blown. A shout is
given. Angels are sent out to gather the
believers
·
An
agreement is signed with the Jews, with Israel, one the Jews believe brings
them peace.
·
The
seven year Tribulation begins.
·
The
Antichrist makes his appearance along with the false prophet.
·
Sometime
early in the Tribulation the attack on Israel by Russia, Iran, and Turkey is
turned aside by God.
·
The
one world government comes more and more into being.
·
By
the midpoint of the Tribulation the antichrist has taken up residence in the
third temple in Jerusalem. That temple
is built during the first half of the Tribulation.
·
All
the horrors described in Revelation 6 – 19 are poured out on the world during
the Tribulation period. All those humans
still on the earth suffer from all this as well as the rule of the Antichrist
and the false prophet.
·
Huge
numbers of people are killed.
·
At
the end of the Tribulation the armies of the world amass at Armageddon to face
the Lord and his holy ones – his believers and his angels.
·
At
Armageddon the armies of the world are totally destroyed by the sword in the
mouth of the Lord – the word of God. All
the members of those armies are killed.
All. No one is left.
·
At
Armageddon the Antichrist and the false prophet are seized and thrown into the
Lake of Fire. Satan is seized and thrown
into a pit for a thousand years.
·
The
earth now continues, with the Lord’s rule from Jerusalem. Details of this are not known although we
know he is assisted in this by his believers.
·
The
population of the earth at the beginning of this thousand years is greatly
reduced. It is a mere fraction of what
it was before the Tribulation.
·
How
the members of God’s Kingdom will be utilized, what we will all be doing, is
not specified, although the Lord has given us great guidance in his letters to
the churches in Revelation. For example,
we know that Jesus gives his true believers who persevere until the end:
o
Hidden
manna
o
White
stone with new name on it known only to him who receives it
o
Authority
over the nations
o
Acknowledgement
of their name before God and angels
o
Never
having their name blotted out of book of life
o
White
clothes
o
The
right to be a pillar in the temple of God
o
Name
of God written on them
o
Right
to sit with Jesus on his throne
