And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Matt. 24:3
The first time I can remember hearing this scripture was in a church service on Thanksgiving day in 1980. Just a couple of days before this, I had been miraculously healed of a heart condition, and had surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. It was not long after this that I was filled with the Holy Spirit and began to hear God’s voice for the first time. In the months and years that followed, the Holy Spirit dealt with me about many different things. Such as, deliverance from sin, faith in God, counterfeit Christianity and that the end of the world and return of Jesus Christ would come in my lifetime.
In 1990, at the birth of one of my sons, the Spirit told me that this generation would be alive to see His return. Then, in 1991, the morning that America began “Desert Storm”, I heard the Spirit say that this was the “beginning of the end” for America. American pride will be her downfall. Instead of humbling ourselves as a nation, our pride is taking us into wars and places we have no business to be. And because of this America will reap what she has sown. “They have sown the wind, and shall reap the whirlwind.” Hosea 8:7
Time has a way, however, of causing us to forget and get complacent. So, in January 2007, I awoke one morning with the Holy Spirit reminding me again with this scripture in Matthew 25:5-6 “While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” Along with this scripture, I was told that America was on the “eve of destruction”.
Then, in 2008, I had a dream one night. I was standing in California, and saw Chinese war ships off the coast. I tried to warn everyone but no one would listen. Then I looked down on the ground and saw a large war map, with a month and day (no year) on the bottom right corner. One year later, on the very month and day that I saw in my dream, I looked on the web to see what events took place on that day. I found that China and Russia had met for the first time, to discuss military and economic alliances.
According to the book of Revelation, dealing with the events of the end times, the whole world – including America- will be ruled by a one-world government and anti-Christ who will demand everyone to worship his way or be killed. “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:7-8. Everyone who is trusting in their church or church leaders for advice and guidance, instead of the voice and guidance of Jesus Christ, will be misled and deceived. They will be instructed to compromise with this new government to have peace, not realizing that they will be denying Christ by doing so.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. … Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:4,5, 9-11
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:32-34.
The reason I am writing all of this down is because the Spirit told me three specific times to warn everyone of what was coming, that they be READY. The only way to be ready is to have a real relationship with Jesus Christ and the Father; to hear His voice. If you have never been born again, surrendered your life to Jesus and been filled with His Holy Spirit, then you are not ready. Without true repentance from sin and having the Holy Spirit come to live within you, you cannot have a true relationship with the God or Jesus. Without this relationship you will not be able to hear His voice, which is the only thing that can save you and enable you to make it through the great tribulation and persecution of Christians that will happen before His return. And, what is worse, you will be rejected by Him when He takes over the earth and judges all men afterward.
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:42-44.
“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:31-36.
“But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:26-28.
