Understanding The Times

Anyone can look around and see what is happening in the world today. But God wants us to see what’s happening and properly understand “the times.” Unless we understand the times, i.e. "why" these things are happening, we can never properly understand what actions to take.Observing an event is like standing on a boat and looking at the surface of the water. Seeing the surface doesn't reveal what is going on beneath the surface. God's Word explains how you can get beneath the surface to see and understand the times. Then, and only then, can you know what to do!

Understanding the Times

1. Reading the Signs

When Jesus returns, it will not be to bring an end to the world but to prevent the antichrist and evildoers from destroying the world and mankind. Until He returns, there are ways we can manage ourselves so that we can be over-comers no matter what’s going on around us. Part of this is knowing how to read the signs and being aware of what’s going on in our country, our city, our state, and even in our own lives. Once you know how to read the signs, then you know the kinds of decisions you need to make. God wants you to make decisions that lead to life, peace, and joy. And I want to do everything I can to help you get there.If you want to discover more about how to read the signs and how to usher in the return of the Lord, watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “How to Read the Signs”, where I give you simple, practical, biblical wisdom that you can put into practice and put you ahead of the game. You can be an over-comer when everyone else is giving in to fear!

2. How to read the Signs

So many people have asked me if this is the end of time. If you’re asking that question, you don’t really understand what the Bible means when it talks about “the end.”

In Matthew 24, when Jesus talks about the many things happening and says, “This is not the end”; He is talking about  reaching the end or completion of the goal (the reason all these things are happening), not the end of time. These things are happening to destroy people’s confidence in God. The good news is that Jesus isn’t coming back to bring about the end of time. Jesus is coming back to bring an end of the destruction that’s done by wickedness and lawlessness and to give us a thousand years of peace before we reach the end of time.

Don’t let your heart be troubled. In the end, we win because, in the end, God has already won. I want to help deliver you from the fear that comes from the deception happening in the world. Watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Is This the End?” to learn more.

3. Is This the End?

Throughout history, we see Godless people, Godless regimes, world leaders hungry for power, and greedy people attempting to take over all the resources available in Planet Earth. Each monumental war has gotten more violent, more wicked, and more brutal.

Jesus said that the time would come when we would have a tribulation on Planet Earth that would be far worse than anything that has ever happened. Many people have asked me if I thought we were in the Tribulation. “No, I do not!” People in Russia, China, the former Soviet Union, and all over the world have gone through worse than what we are going through right now. What we are going through will get worse unless we stop it. People who don’t know history, don’t know the Bible, or don’t understand how we got here, don’t know how to stop it.

You may be asking yourself, “How did America get here?” I want to answer that question for you. I want to show you a Biblical perspective on how we reached this point. Once we understand how we got here, then we can understand how to get out. Right now, destiny is in our hands. This isn’t a matter of God making a choice of what’s going to happen next; it’s a matter of US deciding what’s going to happen next, and whether or not we are going to involve and trust God.

The Bible says that the end will come “like a thief in the night”. But it also says it will come with the “sound of a trumpet”. This is either talking about two separate events or there is an interesting caveat that we need to recognize. The truth is; people that won’t know when the end is here either don’t want to know, don’t believe, ignore the signs, or are so overtaken by the lust of their flesh and living life that they just aren’t paying attention. This is what Jesus was talking about when He said it would be like it was in the days of Noah. People were getting married, had families and carried on with their daily lives … until the flood came. Then, suddenly, they were taken by surprise. But Noah and his family were not taken by surprise. We never really have to be taken by surprise. Wise people understand the signs and know when and how to prepare so that they are not overcome.I want YOU to be an overcomer! I don’t want you to be overtaken by everything happening in the world today. To learn how you can recognize and prepare should this happen in your lifetime, watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Preparing for the End”.
