Jesus is to return soon, as the Prophets and Apostles reveals, and this world is willingly ignorant of.

Remember the Words of the Prophets and Apostles.
“This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the Holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour:” 2 Peter 3:1-2

Today are certainly the days when we have to remember the word of the Holy Prophets and the word of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. The thing that has power over physiology and can form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors certainly wants to purge the mind and emotions of any remembrance or sentiments for the Gospel of Christ. The Holy Prophets tells us everything about the coming of Jesus Christ (known as the “scarlet cord”), and about this present global system that governs through thoughts and feelings to influence what is said and done. This is the entity that enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

National leaders call their global aspirations a “global democracy,” but the Holy Prophets call it evil. The Prophets tells us that it sets itself above God and all authority as it discards Jesus Christ, tramples on the Holy Spirit, and persecutes God’s People. The Apostles tells us to stay true to God through Jesus Christ, and the reward of eternal life far exceeds the sufferings of this world. God loves the inhabitants of this world so much that He sent His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Where is the Return of Jesus Christ?
“Knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
2 Peter 3:3-4

Society scoffs at the idea of immortality which relates to the return of Jesus Christ. They live for whatever this world offers them and use the same argument that after 2000 years Jesus won’t be coming back. There have been very recent changes that suggests things do not continue on as they have always been.

Number one, the creation of airplanes which are able to travel overseas is a direct sign of how near Jesus’s return is. Airplanes capable of traveling overseas didn’t exist until after 1920’s, and the airplanes talked about in Daniel 8:5 didn’t exist until around 1940. Those airplanes are bombers and fighter jets associated with bringing the end of WW2 as the west crossed cross the seas “without touching the ground” and dealt a crushing defeat to Hitler’s Germany and Japan. Immediately after that, the United Nations was established and brought the government of the beast with it. That is described in Daniel 8.

Number two, immediately after the creation of airplanes and the formation of the United Nations, came the entity that gives people their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. It gives people uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skill in whatever task, it gives uncanny authority, enables amazing physical feats and accomplishments, provides healings, gives youthfulness, makes a person feel wonderful, etc. It also discards the need for Jesus Christ, tramples on the Holy Spirit, and blasphemes God. This is described in Revelation 13.

Number three, “global warming” has become an enormous concern for those trying to build an earthly utopia through “global democracy.” In Revelation 16:8-10 the sun’s intense heat plays a role in destroying the power center of the beast. The only hope for humanity is to come to God through Jesus Christ. We need to say a word on behalf of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Number four, the Jewish people were gathered to Israel in 1948, after WW2. The Jewish State of Israel was created around that time just for the purpose of allowing the Jewish people to gather to Israel. God gathered them there to complete His judgment against them by the hand of the world government of the beast and its global culture, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.” Ezekiel 22:19-20

The picture to the left is the land of Israel during the Old Testament. The picture in the middle is when the Jewish people no longer laid any exclusive claim to the land of Israel as a Jewish nation. That area had long been desolate of Jewish rule/occupation from about 70AD (During the Roman Empire) to 1948. The picture to the right is how the land of Israel is today after the Jewish people were “brought back from the sword” to regather as a Jewish nation in 1948.

The Alpha and the Omega.
“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:5-7

The culture of this present world willingly keeps themselves ignorant of the flood that destroyed the world as the judgment of God against spiritual wickedness. We know that as the event of Noah and flood as described in Genesis 6. The entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say keeps the masses of people ignorant of the truth of the Bible. The description of the righteousness of Noah, the flood, and the destruction of spiritual wickedness is prophetic of the fiery judgment to come against all those who turn from God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit.

There is one thing that this present Godless world agrees with Christians on; this heaven and earth is destined for a very hot end. Both agree that a response is necessary to the devastating effects of global warming. The unGodly knows it only as global warming but we Christians know global warming as the fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9.

The culture of today is willingly ignorant of the word of God as the churches have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ, government lawmakers no longer include the values of the Bible in their policies and laws, the educational system does not allow the teaching of the Bible in classrooms, and Christianity is unwelcomed in every sector of society.

Christians know that immortality of the soul is central to the resurrection and eternal life. The culture of this present world does not believe in the immortality of the soul. They are willingly ignorant of the eternal torment in the burning lake of fire of those who reject Jesus Christ, and willingly ignorant of eternal life in the Paradise of God for those who believe in God through Jesus Christ.

The Heavenly Time Zone.
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:8-9

When the beast of the image and mark of the beast enters this world, there is “42 months” until the return of Jesus Christ. The entity that forms thoughts and feelings is here and enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. This world is within the “42 months,” or “1260 days.” “The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.” Revelation 13:5 This current world system will exist until Christ returns. Its days are about up.

The point is not that there is only “42 months” remaining of the existence of this present world government. The point is that as soon as the beast entered, the clock began ticking down to the Day of the Lord. After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit was poured out on this world and the Gospel was given life around the world. The world was not dying, it was not counting down its days, it was alive in Christ. Now, the Gospel is being eliminated around the world, people are living by the entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do, and it’s practically illegal to talk about the testimony of Jesus Christ to younger generations. Now, the sand of the hourglass is sifting through, time is running out, and there is less than “42 months” before this present system is destroyed. Jesus is coming soon.

The patience of the Lord is sifting through with the sand of the hourglass. He doesn’t want us to perish with this world, He wants us to have eternal life. Salvation is offered through Jesus Christ. Even today, in this Godless world, it is still possible to receive Jesus Christ by believing in Him for the atonement of sin and to begin sharing with others that Jesus is Lord. Let’s say a word on behalf of Jesus Christ.
