Is the World Ending?

Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."

Is It The End of the World?

There's alot of talk going around that the world is ending. They are proclaiming that it's the end of the world because of the chaos abound. The amount of prophetic signs coming together all at once is a sure indicator that our Flight 777 will be leaving soon on the Titus 2:13 airlines! As I've said, He is near and right at the door! It's ramping up so rapidly, everything being flown at us at break neck speed, everything in life feels like it's spinning out of control. These are the birth pangs. I get it! I see it! I feel it! There is nothing that I want more than to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus Christ as their Truth, Life and Way! But time is running out and I continue to pray that they receive their free boarding pass before it's too late! I watched several interesting videos in the past few days, glancing over the views of the Christian communities and the common denominator was the "end of the world." As Matthew 24:35 states above, heaven and earth will pass away, but it will not end! The world's SYSTEM, the WAYS of the world as we know it and live in it, the world in it's depravity, will pass away, but it will not end.

Before I continue though, I've recently noticed a trend going around that is completely false, a lie from the enemy himself and I would like, and am compelled, to take just a second to share the truth about this blasphemous lie! I've recently noticed a growing number of many people stating that the 7 year Tribulation is NOT God's judgment but rather is Satan's judgment on the people! This is a lie from Satan himself and apparently one that is picking up "believers" along the path of its lies. Many people refer to these 7 years as Jacob's Trouble. During this time, it will be a time of unrestrained evil! Why unrestrained? Because by that time, the church (the believers) will have been raptured and within them is the Restrainer, the Holy Spirit. the Tribulation is the 7-year time period in the end times in which humanity’s decadence and depravity will reach its fullness, with God judging accordingly. It will be a time of complete terror, a terror that we cannot imagine nor have any of us experienced in our lifetimes! The Tribulation will so terrifying, so terrible, so horrifying that men will seek to die, but can't! Other words, they will try to commit suicide and will not succeed. It seems that death will not be possible for the 5 month period during the 5th trumpet judgment. In Revelation 9:3-6, we find the following, "Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4) They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5) And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6) In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them." To be clear, this is the WRATH OF GOD mentioned in Romans 1:18, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness," Also profoundly in Revelation 19:11-16, "Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12) His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13) He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14) And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15) From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16) On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords."

John 3:36, "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Revelation 3:10, "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."

1 Thessalonians 1:10, "and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." Again, just to be clear, the Tribulation is the 7-year time period in the end times in which humanity’s decadence, evil and depravity will reach its fullness, with God judging accordingly. I do not want anyone to be deceived that the Tribulation is the judgment of Satan. It is the farthest from the truth. He has no power to judge. He has no power to convict. He has NO POWER!

Now, let's get back to the post at hand and take a look at some scriptures to lay the foundation of the earth passing away before moving forward.

1) Hebrews 12:26-27, "whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." 27) Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain." 
2) 2 Peter 3:12-13, "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13) Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells."
3) Revelation 21:1, "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea."
4) 2 Peter 3:10, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be exposed."
5) Revelation 21:5, "Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
6) Psalm 37:29, "The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell in it forever."
7) Matthew 19:28, "o Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the new world, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

Made New

This is just but a few of the scriptures that tell of a new earth. The world will not end in it's physical and substance, not as the substance of the heavens and earth. The physical and substance of earth and heaven will always remain, but as to the qualities of them, which will be altered by the renewing and the refining but not destroyed. All of the bad qualities, evil, evil circumstances, and wickedness which attends them through the sin of man will be removed and they shall pass away. But they themselves will continue in being, in existing. All of the ordinances of man, the wicked and the evil injustice of man will be passed away. Jesus makes it clear that everything will pass away in its time, in its season, as with man and our choice to be born again. When we choose to be born again, we die to self to receive the Holy Spirit indwelling within us. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."  We are made new and will live in a renewed earth! Jesus states clearly the heavens and earth shall pass away but HIS WORDS SHALL NEVER PASS AWAY! They are firm, they are our foundation, they are solid, unalterable and immovable! Our familiarity with all of the forms of life and activity will pass away. The morning light, flowers budding, the four seasons, all the living creatures, trees, all soon die. Once we extend our vision out further and are able to take in its full sweep, not only of the life of an individual, but also the course and history of all the ages of the world, these pass away too. Look back 200 years ago. No flower remains. No human still lives. The same creatures aren't alive. It's pretty simple.....yesterday doesn't exist. However, here's the profoundness of it all. In all this, there is permanence. The actual physical form passes, but the material that it's made of, remains. As a prophetic look into His words never passing away, we should understand that not even one single item of what He was saying, or has said, would fail to come to pass.  Ezekiel 36:36 we read, "Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it." This is also why Jesus said in Mathew 5:18, "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." The jot and tittle weren't even letters of the Hebrew alphabet. They were actually marks used to make up the individual letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Jesus was saying that not even a part of a single letter of the law (which are the books of Moses) would fail! Everything would be fulfilled exactly and precisely, as He spoke them, down to the tiniest detail.

That's why the scriptures so often repeat the formula, "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by..." Upon doing some research, I found that these words, or something very similar to them, are repeated 22 times in the scriptures with regard to a literal fulfillment of an explicitly stated prophecy. 21 of the 22 times are actually found within the four gospels in regard to explicitly stated prophecies fulfilled literally by Jesus. The other one is in Ezra 1:1, but it is also in regard to a literal fulfillment of an explicitly stated prophecy. So His statement was actually in the context of end times' prophecies and the eternal nature of Jesus’ words: "My words will never pass away." This simply means that it is much wiser that we trust in Jesus than trusting in anything in this world. His words stand the test of time! You see, life as we know it, the world as we knew it just 6 short months ago, will never be the same again. The life as we lived and as we knew it, will never be lived in the same way again. Things are currently passing away right before our very eyes. So even with all of the chaos, upheaval, evil doers, lawlessness, the world isn't ending, just the world as we know it to be is passing away. The law, the love, the compassion, the ordinances, etc. The unrighteousness of this world and all that its done will eventually no longer BE. Keep in mind, even though so much of what we know will pass away, will be no more and will then be renewed, the SALVATION of Jesus is ETERNALLY SECURE! Just us knowing that heaven and earth will pass away gives us new perspective on life. This world is NOT our HOME. Jesus tells us to have the our proper priorities straight! Matthew 6:19–20 instructs us, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20) but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal." There's no reason to lay up treasures on this earth because those too, will pass away. The only thing that lasts forever, for eternity is our spirits in eternity with Jesus for the born again believers or in eternity in hell for the non-believers. Peter, after reminding us of the temporary nature of this world, says to us in 2 Peter 3:14, "Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;" 

The Righteous Will Inherit the Earth!

In Psalm 37:29, mentioned in the list of scriptures above, is a beautiful reminder that the righteous which are those who could match injustice with power, but will not, will eventually get it all! In God's time, the unrighteous will be destroyed, and the just will have everything that's left for their faithfulness, belief and their obedience to Jesus Christ the King of Kings! I believe part of that inheritance will be the planet on which we stand because it will be renewed, made new, and we will be here with our Lord to enjoy it as it was meant to be when He created it! But the point of this is evil will be defeated, destroyed once and for all, and the righteous will prevail. It might feel like an eternity for all of the evil to be defeated, but as promised by our Creator, justice will be served! As I look around the world we live in right now, with the lawlessness and the evil loosed like we've never seen before, and all of the things hidden in the dark that hasn't yet been revealed in the light, but will be in time, it seems like justice will never happen! It will though! It's going to be God's justice that lays it all under and what His justice looks like will never be quite understood by our own limited minds! What His justice will look like will be much worse than anything that you or I could ever dream up on our own. As I read through the judgments and the horror that ultimately ensure, the picture that's painted in my mind is only a glimpse into what it will be like. There are three sets of 7 Judgments during the Tribulation and each set gets progressively more intense and more terrifying! These 3 sets of judgments will occur in chronological and successive order presented to you directly from the Bible for your reference. They are called: 1) The Seal Judgments (7) 2) The Trumpet Judgments (7) and last and most extreme is 3) The Bowl Judgments (7). If you are a believer, then you know 7 is God's number of perfection and completion. 7 is used throughout the Bible!

I can't help but notice, just in the past few days, the increase in violence against mankind in a very different way than we've witnessed. I've seen and read some heartbreaking events that brought tears to my eyes but also elicited some very raw, angry emotions. What I'm seeing all over the world is not right! It upsets me. It angers me righteously. It disturbs my spirit. None of it is right! I watch as the demons take hold and drive those rage filled rioters and some of the rage filled protesters. I watch as leaders "allow" the behaviors to continue without any real consequences for their actions. I watch as violence and felonies continue to be committed without arrests, but they arrest business owners for opening their businesses. I watch as they realize they can get away with just about anything but not be held accountable. I watch as they continue to put fear into the hearts and minds of those who don't see what is happening. I watch as leaders single out the law abiding and "selectively" enforce rules and mandates, while allowing the lawlessness to get a free ride. The hypocrisy is rampantly given way and none of this is making sense. But, nobody seems to be questioning things either. Why can't churches assemble in full capacity to praise and worship our Lord, yest thousands upon thousands are allowed to "assemble" to protest and not be held to the same standards? Why are "virus spikes" only seen in churches, but not in big box stores, grocery stores, workplaces, and out among the thousands of gathering protesters? I could go on with the inconsistencies and the hypocrisy but I will spare my readers. But this is all wrong. It's just not right! It isn't driven by love, but by hate. It isn't driven by justice, but injustice. It isn't driven by harmony, but by discord. It isn't driven by good, but by evil. I see it everywhere, in places that weren't effected before. There is definitely a clear and present danger of darkness that fell swiftly upon this earth that will not and cannot compare to the judgment that's coming during the 7 year tribulation! I can't think of anything worse that one could experience, aside from choosing an eternity in hell!

As I look around, as I pray for the safety, security and the deliverance of the innocent people, I'm reminded that these very people represent the unrighteous. I mentioned in my recent post that you cannot participate in these animalistic events, destroying, killing, injuring and aggressively burning down communities and claim to be walking with Jesus! Evil can't co-exist with Jesus! It is here that I will inject my opinion from my understanding of the events taking place all over the world. First with the "pathogenic global crisis" I found it very interesting to say the least that almost immediately upon its "discovery," and shortly after the lock downs all over the world, technological "safety" measures such as temperature scanning devices, no touch payment systems, plastic "sneeze guards," millions of testing kits, millions upon millions of PPE produced in record amounts of time, and a whole slew of other "safety" and "health" tactics swiftly were put into place as though this was all thought out in advance. It was just too quick for my liking. All the while, all the leaders all over the world were saying the same things, inferring it won't last long. In the beginning. While they were also pumping out billions of dollars of "equipment" to keep the "world" safe. Well, if it wasn't going to last long, my question would be: Then why would you spend millions, if not billions, on "health and safety" equipment, redesigning the way life would be resuming, shutting down millions of businesses, dividing workers into two categories of essential and non-essential, if it was only going to be for a few short weeks, maybe a month? It didn't add up then and it still doesn't add up now. More so now because of the 2nd "crisis," this "movement." Everything got mixed up in the middle of the "movement" and the violence that happened and continues to happen. People focused on the "movement" and what was taking place there and suddenly, the "global crisis" wasn't being talked about so much. It was still "lurking" in the shadows just waiting for the right moment to jump back into the light, but for a time, it was pushed back.

While the "movement" gained ground and the footing became a bit more steady, murders were taking place in America at an unprecedented rate. While that was happening, laws were being enacted all over the world and in many cases, unbeknownst to their citizens. While that was happening, the "movement" began demanding unrealistic changes to take place and to be enforced, such as defunding the police and in some cases, dismantling them altogether. They are the lawless ones who are demanding the country to become lawless. There is a terrible brutality about this mess. While that was happening, the middle east is heating up. While that was happening, the unemployment rose again. While that was happening corporations were suddenly coming up with millions of dollars to "support" and "assist" the "movement" and to donate to making things better. To the same people who looted, pillaged, killed, fought, injured, burned and destroyed. As I thought about the defunding of the police earlier in the day, I want to take a moment to say the majority of the USA is not behind dismantling the police departments nor defunding them. Re-educating and training and reform, ok. The way the media is portraying this to the rest of the world outside of the USA, it makes it appear that we ALL demand this and that's not true! In fact, the cities that are burning and having those major issues with the rioters and the violence, are not happening in every single city across America. You wouldn't know that from the news though! If everyone believed everything the news spewed out, well, we'd look like an awful bunch of people. Are there awful people? Sure. But there's awful people in every country. But the way the news, specifically the main stream media, portrays the events, aren't truthful portrayals. I saw a segment on a video taken of something happening in one of the rioting cities that were being burnt down. They showed only a clip which would elicit a negative response to their narrative. However, when viewing the whole thing, it was NOTHING like what they showed nor how they reported it....to fit their agenda.

Lightning on June 4th, 2020

It was due to this madness, this lawlessness, this chaos, this fear, this trouble, this breakdown of society, this fear mongering of our own humankind, this worldwide experience that I came upon the trending of the many people claiming the world was ending. I mean, looking around, one sure can't see the heart of our Lord in those rage filled, demonic acts. This made me pause for a second and realize this is something people were actually searching for answers to. That meant the people just might be searching for the TRUTH of Jesus Christ and if I could shed some truth into this, then by all means, I would gladly do so and be used for His purpose. I didn't intend on writing today at all. It just fell upon my spirit and I heeded the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Humanity is suffering and in a state of decay. We are all hurting over all of this, from the mandates brought about by the "global crisis" to the complete and utterly ridiculousness of masks, social distancing and gloves to the heartache of rioting, protesting and the violence that ensued. Many more situations are happening that we don't know about and aren't aware of because they aren't being reported. Why? The 1st phase of the "global crisis" and the 2nd phase of the "movements." The attention is being drawn towards those two situations and being drawn away from what's really going on all over. Things are lining up nicely for the One World Government and the players are lining up as well. The leaders are hoping we don't see what they're doing but many of us do. Many of us already know the story and how it ends. They are defeated. Satan is defeated. Even the weather is not what it typically is during this time of the year. There's been record sized hail, locust swarms that have wiped out much needed crops, earthquakes in the strangest places that have intensified, flooding with torrential rains, tornadoes out of season, snow in places out of season, record droughts, and a number of other weather anomalies. Look at what happened to the Washington Monument in Washington, D. C. on June 4th, 2020. Lightning struck the top of the Washington Monument just a few days after the President of the USA, Donald Trump held up the bible in front of the "presidents" church that the rioters burned!! An act that got him attacked from every direction because he held it up while being photographed. He isn't the first to do so but he is the one that got attacked by every media outlet and more. God's angry at the way His creation has turned out, how they have turned against Him and everything He has created! For those who has eyes to see, look around. God is angry!

I know this world is temporary. I know I do not belong here because my home is waiting for my arrival. I know the world as we once knew it, will never return the life we also once knew before this all happened. 2020 has been a very interesting year to say the least. It brought with it alot of suffering, alot of fear, alot of lies and alot of uncertainty. It brought with it alot of brutality and lawlessness unlike anything else we've ever seen or known before. It brought with it an isolation of humanity that ultimately is now effecting the psyche of the masses. That isolation has also created an unrealistic fear of others. The "masks" are designed to assist in that as well as reducing everyone to just "eyes." The masks create mistrust. This is a psychological fact. There are alot of psychological damage being done unbeknownst to many who adhere to this "mandate." In some places it's mandatory inside and outside. In other places it's mandatory just for business to open up and employees must wear them. It's insanity. Why? It's not working. It's not normal. It's not consistent. Social distancing was introduced and goes completely AGAINST how we were CREATED! God did not create us to be alone, to be absent of touch, of hugs, of sharing tears, smiles, laughs. 2020 will end with a bigger bang than it started with, I'm sure. To what magnitude? I'm unsure. But considering what we've all experienced thus far, well, it's on point to be pretty big. Vaccines, cures, testing. I also believe the intrusive and privacy breaching "contact tracing" will be pushed upon everyone as a tracking device. In some countries, well, they've already begun to track and trace. So as I am looking and watching vigilantly, I'm constantly reminded that this world is only temporal and everything I knew will pass away. All the ways of life, all the ways of the ordinances. Even as the One World Order is being set up, it's to get us all on the same governance. To be the same, act the same, look the same, think the same, BE the same. That will never succeed though because I'm sure as you are reading those very words, you do realize just how different you are to the next person. We all have different stories, experiences, upbringing, etc. Those things make up who we are, but moreso than that, God created us individually perfect! It will ultimately fail because Satan can't win! He's already been trampled underfoot and has been defeated. But for a time, during the Tribulation, when evil and destruction is let loose to devour, there will also be a sort of cleansing because all evil will be exposed. During that time, many still will come to know Christ but they will be persecuted for their beliefs.

But now? We all still have HOPE! I wrote about hope in the Lord back in 2014, called, "There IS Hope in the Lord" and can be found here. It's uplifting and will show you how to find that Hope! During these horribly trying, frightening and scary times, there is only one Person we can find that perfect Hope and Peace in and that's Jesus Christ! So is the world ending? Yes and No. It is ending as we know it, the system, the ways of it. And it will be renewed, it will be made new for His righteous children to reside with Him when He returns with us in His 2nd coming. I just want everyone to know that many mean well by saying the world is ending and the only problem I've had with that is they don't explain it a little clearer. Christians, some, not all, I find sometimes are afraid of the things to come because they don't understand the dividing of the word and how the believers will be raptured before the Tribulation. We will still have to endure "worldly" tribulations, hardships, sufferings until that swift catching away occurs! As I've explained before, there is no reason for the bride (church) to go through the Tribulation, nor is it the character of our Loving God to put us through it. He said He didn't appoint us to wrath and I believe HIS words! So find your hope and peace in Jesus Christ and if you don't know Him, it's never too late. He's waiting on your call! He'll meet you right where you're at and accept you just as you are! And remember, while we all have to deal with this madness, turn away from time to time and enjoy the life that the Lord gave you and blessed you with! Don't let the evil of the darkness consume you and don't let the enemy inject fear into you! Be brave and courageous! Jesus loves you! He is very close......and our flight is coming down the runway! His words will never pass away and every word is true! But everything else will pass away and everything else that we knew, the ways, the systems, the life....choose LIFE with Christ! Ask Him to show you the truth at any cost! He will!

In the name of our Precious Jesus, AMEN!
