DISCERNING THE TIMES AND SEASONS

END TIME EVENTS



God has four major appointments with humanity and the world. Each event deals with a specific people. Our challenge is to rightly divide the Prophetic Word.

 

Error comes when we wrongly apply the Prophetic Word to the wrong group of people.

1. GOD’S 7000 YEAR PLAN FOR EARTH:

<>The seventh day of 1000 years started on approximately Jan 2002.

<> This is the approximate time when Christ will come and rule the nations of the earth from Jerusalem.

<>The completion of God’s plan for earth will occur around 3002.

 

2. GOD’ COVENANT WITH ISRAEL:

<>The re-establishment of the covenant started in 1948

and 1967.
<>The covenant with
Israel will end around 3002.

<>The kingdom covenant was put into action at this time.

<>This is the time when Jesus will return as King of kings.

3. GOD’S COVENANT WITH THE CHURCH.

<> When Israel became a Nation in 1948 was the sign that the end of the church age began.
<>The preaching of the gospel to the entire world will signal the completion of the Church age.
<>The event next expected for the Church is the rapture, or the  catching away” of the Church into heaven.

4. GOD’S APPOINTED DAY TO JUDGE THE NATIONS:

<>The judgment of the nations and the completion of the Gentile age, started on Sep.11, 1999 according to the Jewish rabbis.

 


THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE ON EARTH:

1. THE GENTILES.
These are all those that have not received
Jesus as Lord and Savior.

2. THE CHURCH.
These are those that have received
Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

3. THE JEWS.
These are those God has chosen to be His agents on earth.


GOD’S VISITATION TO THE JEWS:

Lk:19:44: And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.


<>
Jesus came to the Jewish nation in 2 AD, but was rejected.
<> The religious leaders of the Jewish people let their traditional ideas blind them from the visitation of the Lord.


Acts:13:46: Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.


GOD’S VISITATION TO THE CHURCH:

Matthew 16:2 He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.  And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

1Thess 5:1 But of the times and the seasons (of the coming of the Lord), brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3: For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh  upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4: But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5: Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6: Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7: For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night
.

Proverbs 6:4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5: Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.


Mark 13:28: Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30: Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31: Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32: But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33: Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34: For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded
the porter to watch.
35: Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at
midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37: And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.


1John 2:28: And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

 

THREE EVENTS COMING TOGETHER AT ONCE:

1. WE HAVE THE TERMINATION OF THE JEWISH EXILE AND THE RESTORATION OF THE OLD COVENANT WITH THE JEWS.


<> This began in May of 1948 when the nation of
Israel was restored and the Jews started returning to the promised land.
<>The prophesies of
Matt 24, Mk 13, and Lk 21 deal with the restoration of the rule of the world to Israel.

 

2. THE END OF THE CHURCH AGE IS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE NEW COVENANT.

<>This is the age of grace, or the time of the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
<>The promise of
Christ to return for His church occurs at the end of this age.
<>The scriptures found in 1st Cor 15, 1st Thes 4, 2nd Thes 2, This is called the age of grace, the advent of the Holy Spirit’s ministry.

3. THE TIME OF THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS.

 

<>The times of the Gentiles began when Israel went into Babylonian captivity and ends with the gathering of all nations at the end of the age, against Israel. Matt 25, Rev 11, Rev 20

4. THE ADAMIC COVENANT STILL HAS 1000 YRS BEFORE IT TERMINATES.


<>The advent of the seventh day begins at the termination of the Gentile Age and the end of the  Church Age.

 

Rev 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2: And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3: And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6: And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Have a God-Day!
