What in the world is going on?! Who would have thought we would ever experience the types of events that are taking place around the globe right now? Crime is at an all-time high, people have lost their jobs and their homes, kids are in and out of school, sickness and death are still being reported, there seems to be no end to the war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Hamas, and there are rumors of more wars that could take place. The weather has changed, and we are seeing more frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fires, flooding, hurricanes and tornados than ever before. Political, financial, and social unrest are everywhere. More and more freedoms are being taken away. Many are afraid.
I have some good news though. There is something you can do right now so that you don’t have to fear the future. You can actually be at peace and have hope. Please keep reading...
You see, everything that is happening today has already been prophesied in the Bible (we were warned ahead of time - 2 Peter 3:17 & Matthew 24:25). The Bible is not just an antiquated book with a bunch of stories that are no longer applicable to the times we are living in. It’s so much more than that, not to mention that it is also still the most accurate history book we have. Ongoing excavations continue to prove its reliability, and the findings of over 26,000 digs in the land of the Bible have never disproved it. The number of manuscripts found is now over 66,000 (see details).
Did you know that approximately one third of the written Scriptures (over 8000) in the Bible are prophecy (the telling of future events before they take place)? Some prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, but those that have (more than 6000), are 100% accurate. There has never been any other religious book in the world that contains detailed prophecies as the Bible does. Old Testament writings (Jewish Tanakh) were completed sometime during 450 B.C. These Scriptures contain well over 300 prophecies that tell about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah, the anointed Son of God, Who came to save the lost. They tell of His future reign as well (see list / mobile version).

Some of these Old Testament Messianic prophecies were written over 700 years prior to the date they would take place, and it is important to note that crucifixion had not even been invented yet. The chances of one person fulfilling only 8 of these Old Testament prophecies is 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. One person fulfilling just 48 of these prophecies is 1 chance in 10 to the 157th (too many zeros to include here). What about one person fulfilling over 300? If math is not your thing, what this means is that it’s impossible on a human level. God had to be involved, and He most certainly was (John 3:16-21).
Friends, Jesus (Yeshua, in Hebrew, and Isa, in Arabic) of Nazareth fulfilled ALL the above-mentioned Messianic prophecies. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a young virgin named Mary. Mary was from the line of David, and of the tribe of Judah. She was betrothed to Joseph Ben Jacob, who was also from the line of David and of the tribe of Judah. Jesus' miracle cousin, John, was born approximately 6 months before Jesus, and would be the one who would prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus would grow up to be a prophet like Moses. He would enter Jerusalem riding on the foal of a donkey. He would be hated without cause, rejected, betrayed by a friend, and falsely accused, yet silent before His accusers. Jesus would be tried and condemned, and He would be crucified. He would watch as they cast lots for His clothing. He would become our sacrificial Lamb, being executed without a bone broken. Jesus would rise again on the 3rd day, leaving us with a New Covenant, and HE IS COMING BACK to reign one day very soon (Watch: Before the Wrath - official full trailer).
See the fulfillment of just 22 Messianic prophecies from the Tanakh/Old Testament (for our Jewish friends), or see the complete list (Mobile Version).
So, that was 2000 years ago. What about today?

In the New Testament (the books written after Jesus’ birth and ministry), and also in the Old Testament (Tanakh), we are told that a time will come when we will know that we are living in the last of the last days. Below are just a few Scriptures that tell us about the signs of the End Times and warn of future events to take place.

Note: Brackets with explanations were added to some of the Scriptures to help first time readers understand.
Happening Today:
2 Timothy 3:2-4
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
Matthew 24:12
Sin [contempt and violation of law, wickedness] will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.
Daniel 12:4
But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase [technology].
Future Events Starting to Happen Now:
Matthew 24:3b-14
His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal Your return and the end of the world? ” Jesus told them, “Don't let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah.' They will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation [the translated Greek word for nation is "ethnos" which also means a tribe/race or people group], and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. "Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. And many will be offended, and they will betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and the end will come" [see Revelation 11:3-13 and Revelation 14:6-7].
Warnings Against False Teachers (happening today and more to come):
1 Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.

The Antichrist (future events):
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness [Antichrist] is revealed—the one who brings destruction.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-10
This man [Antichrist] will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
Daniel 11:31
“His [Antichrist's] army will take over the Temple fortress, pollute the sanctuary, put a stop to the daily sacrifices, and set up the sacrilegious object that causes desecration [Jewish people in Israel today have everything in place for the building of a third Temple, in which they hope to do very soon. Rabbis are also in search of a red heifer, without blemish, believing that by its ashes they can reach the highest level of purity and resume Temple duties. It is the sanctuary of this Temple that the Antichrist will pollute by setting up an image of himself to be worshipped]."
Matthew 24:15-18
[Jesus's words to those in Israel] “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about - the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place." (Reader, pay attention!) “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat."
Daniel 9:36-38
“The king [Antichrist] will do as he pleases, exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every god, even blaspheming the God of gods [God of the Bible]. He will succeed, but only until the time of wrath is completed. For what has been determined will surely take place. He will have no respect for the gods of his ancestors, nor the desire of women, or for any other god, for he will boast that he is greater than them all. Instead of these, he will worship the god of fortresses—a god his ancestors never knew—and lavish on him gold, silver, precious stones, and expensive gifts.
2 Thessalonians 2:3

See what is coming:
The Beast Out of the Earth (Apostle John's Vision):
Revelation 13:11-18
Then I saw another beast [false prophet] come up out of the earth. He had two horns [symbol of strength] like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast [Antichrist]. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching. And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life. He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die. He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

Friends, I don't know about you, but all of the above sounds too familiar as to what we are seeing and hearing on the news and even in social media today. This ministry is not about fearmongering, or telling anyone that we know the time and the day that some of these major events will take place, but we are certainly seeing the signs, and we feel the urgency to warn people (WATCH free: The Coming Convergence from 2017 - official full trailer). Whether these coming events happen next month, next year, or 10 years from now, tomorrow is promised to no one. With that in mind, if you died tonight, can you honestly say you would go to Heaven? Here's how to know for sure.
If you still aren't sure about the Bible being the inerrant Word of God, if you are having a hard time believing, or maybe you have wandered off on a different path, can I ask you to please consider what you have read here? Dig in and do your own research and/or ask questions. Just because we don't believe in something does not mean it's not true. Try not believing in gravity, or a hot stove.
Have you been hurt by the church, or by someone who calls themselves a Christian? We are in no way making excuses for anyone in the church who has harmed someone else, but people are flawed. However, God will never fail or abandon those who belong to Him. People may hurt us, but when God is for us, no one can be against us (Romans 8:38). If our brother or sister hurts us, it's not really fair to place the blame on our father. The same would apply to brothers and sisters in the church, and God the Father in Heaven. We are all individuals with free will.

One Last Warning in the Scriptures:
Revelation 14:11
The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshipped the beast [Antichrist] and his statue [set up in the Temple] and have accepted the mark of his name [the mark of the beast which will be on the right hand or on the forehead].
Revelation 16:2
So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl [judgement] on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped his statue.
Revelation 14:11
The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshipped the beast [Antichrist] and his statue [set up in the Temple] and have accepted the mark of his name [the mark of the beast which will be on the right hand or on the forehead].
Revelation 16:2
So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl [judgement] on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped his statue.
Those who have chosen to worship the "beast" (Antichrist/Satan), and take "the mark," have chosen eternal separation from the God of Heaven and Earth, and there is no going back or undoing what has been done. If we cannot "buy or sell" it is better to starve or die of thirst than to be eternally separated from God and to live in torment forever. "Blessed are those who die in the Lord..." (see Revelation 14:13).
