John 14:15 - If you love me, keep my commandments

Revelations chapter 22 - 12 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."

Matthew 28:18-20 - 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14

Once the world has the gospel of the kingdom preached to them Jesus said the end will come. The Gospel is spreading the globe as we speak, so don't think that it will be long before Jesus comes. There are not very many places, if any, that has not had a Gospel message brought to them. God is not going to wait until people make up their mind to choose Him, He is going to send Jesus to first get the Church once the world has been witnessed to, then comes the great tribulation. The signs in our world today are a warning to the Church and the world to get our lives in order for the time of the end is at the door. What we call global warming is more so a global warning! Jesus said that all these things would be the beginning of sorrows also referred to also as the birth pains. This crazy weather such as frequent and more powerful hurricanes, tornadoes, strong winds earthquakes and extremely hotter-days are only the beginning. Read what Jesus said about his;

Matthew 24: 7 The nations and kingdoms will proclaim war against each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this will be only the beginning of the horrors to come.

You many be asking yourself; why are people so mean to each other these days even road rage and hasty-violent tempers? Why are there so many senseless crimes? Why do masses of people want abortion on demand? Why are people so perverted and morals are declining at such a rapid pace? Jesus already told us in His Word!

Matthew 24:12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But those who endure to the end will be saved.

The end is soon approaching. The moral decline that we see now is nothing compared to how it will progress in the months and years to come. There is nothing wrong with prosperity teaching but money alone can’t save you. We need a just balance in the Word of God. We hear many series on prosperity teaching but we need to see more end time preparedness teaching. Preachers and teachers, when was the last time you taught a series on the end times and the coming of the Lord? After all what does it profit a man to gain the whole-world and lose his soul? When Hurricane Katrina and so many other hurricanes hit America like we’ve never seen the word from the ministers and saints of God should have been, put your house in order for the coming of Lord is approaching. The tsunami in Asia where over 150,000 were killed should have signaled a call to get our lives right for the birth pains have begun. Remember people, birth pains don’t go away they intensify until the baby comes. If fact things are going to grow so intense that many will fall away from serving God.

2Thessalonians 2:3 -

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Jesus knowing all this would happen said,

Luke 18:8 Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

The world is getting more wicked but remember people, Jesus died for His precious Bride the Church. He loves us, and He wants us to be ready when He comes. Many of you have had great personal pains and sorrows lately. These trials are a call to live Godly. To put aside the ways of this dying World and serve the True and Living God. Take your trails and sufferings as a Wake Up Call to get real with God and stop Living in Sin. Jesus showed the prophet Daniel these times....

Daniel 12:9 But he said, "Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is for the time of the end.10 Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.

You should know that these days are like no other since man was first put on this Earth. From the time of Adam and Eve until the late 1800's man traveled by boat/ship or horse/animal, used candle light, wood/coal burning stoves, and wrote letters to communicate over long distances. Since 1900 God has given man the knowledge to invent: the telephone, electric-light, cars, airplane, radio, television, nuclear weapons, space shuttle, space station, computers/internet/email, cell phone, microwave oven, and the list goes on.

God told Daniel how things would be during the Time of The End...........

Daniel 12: 4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase."

God showed Daniel our modern mass transportation and our technology explosion! God knows the evil that resides in this world and He in His great wisdom would not release this kind of knowledge if this was not the time of the end. He knew that satan would use this knowledge for evil but God is using it to spread His Gospel to the Nations as a witness to them. God is great and his mercy endures forever! He has already told us what would happen and those of us who will listen and obey will be saved!

Why doesn’t God tell us the Day or Hour of Jesus’ Return?

God wants love! He created us to love Him and to be His Children. Jesus purchased us with His Blood and we are His Bride. Would you want a bride or mate that was unfaithful up until the time they knew you were returning? No of course not! You would want them to be faithful though you were far away. Faithful right up until you returned, even though they didn’t know the day or the hour.

Matthew 24:44 You also must be ready all the time. For the Son of Man will come when least expected.

Jesus teaches us Concerning His Coming for His church
Matthew 24 - "37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45 "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. "

"Watch"
Watch my friends for Jesus is coming back at an hour you think not. The bible teaches us many great Truths concerning Jesus’ return for His Saints, an End time event known as the Rapture. We will list many throughout this section. There will come a time when Jesus will come back and the dead in Christ shall rise first then, those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the Air and We shall forever be with the Lord. Now this in not the end of the World, this is the Rapture. Remember just before the Flood came, God gathered Noah and his family safely in the Ark, then all Hell broke-loose on the Earth. The Rapture signifies the beginning of God’s Judgment of the Earth followed by a seven year period of God’s Wrath like the World has never known, foretold in the bible as" The Great Tribulation". Hear what Jesus said about His Coming. Jesus said in;

Matt. 24:37-39 - "37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be".

Luke 17:28-29 & 32-36 - 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left."

God uses the examples of Noah’s Ark and Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah to show us that God will always take the Righteous out of harms way before He allows Judgment to Fall on the Earth. Read the Story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Book of Genesis, Chapter’s 18 & 19, and see how the Patriarch Abraham pled in Prayer for the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. God heard Abraham and said that if He found just 10 Righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah, God would Spare the Cities from Judgment. The very thing that is now keeping God’s Great Wrath from falling on this World is His Righteous Children who are made clean by the Blood of Jesus.

As Scripture teaches we, the Righteous, are the Salt of the Earth. Look on your canned goods and you will see on the content label salt (sodium). Without the salt the product want last or be preserved, but with salt many canned-foods are able last many years. (Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth"). As long as the Children of God are in the World, our Heavenly Father will Hold Back the workings of the Anti-Christ who will be a much worse Demonized Leader than even Hitler was. God will one day take His Saints out of the World, then all Hell will breakout. He will allow Satan, through the Anti-Christ, to rule and reign for 7 years, this will be the Great Tribulation. At the End of the Seven years the battle of Armageddon will take place as The Saints will return with Jesus Christ and Defeat the Anti-Christ and his army. Jesus will lead the Armies of God to victory and Jesus shall rule and reign from Capital City of Jerusalem for a thousand years. This World will become the Kingdom of our Lord and the Meek shall inherit the Earth.

Jesus uses the stories of Noah’s Ark and Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah to show us several important truths. One of those truths is that when the people of Earth become very wicked and sinful God’s Judgment will soon follow. Notice also that each time the Judgments occurred the people we caught off guard because they did not heed the warnings they were given. They where marrying and giving in marriage before all TORMENT destroyed them. Life was normal nothing seemed different, then all of a sudden God's Wrath FELL.

We all felt very sadden by the devastation on 09-11-01 and many questioned the way the where living their lives. We saw how quickly our lives could end, even on a mass scale. Close to, or over 5,000 people left their lives on Earth and now are at Their Eternal Destination. We can only hope many made the choice to serve Jesus whole-hearted in this life. Would you have been ready to meet the Lord? For some the End of The World will come today because everyday thousands die. Jesus doesn't have to return for your World to End. Considering that the Great Tribulation shall be the worst suffering Humanity has ever experienced, we should all strive to live Godly through Jesus Christ. Then we shall escape the Judgment that will come upon all the Earth. Now's The Time to live for God and follow Jesus with all your heart. Sin may be pleasurable now but only what we do for God will last forever.

Mt 24:21 - For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Noah and Lot both were men that represented righteousness in a sinful and dark world. They warned others but were looked at as fools. NKJ/Genesis 19: 14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, "Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!" But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking. Are you ready to heed God's warning and warn others? I pray that you do not think this is a joke. The people did not believe Lot until sudden destruction came upon them. People have not changed much since Noah's and Lot's day. In the Days of Noah the Bible teaches how the sins of men had grown very widespread and man’s heart was on evil continually. Most people are beating their souls on tomorrow but God says choose Today!

Genesis 6: 5-7 - 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were full of sin and rebellion against God. Sodom was a prosperous City made rich through their natural resources. Sodom was full of fornication, adultery, lesbianism, Homosexuality, Idiolatry, orgies, drunkenness, all manner of filthiness, and every manner of evil. They were Out of Control. Here is some of what the Bible teaches about Sodom.

Genesis 13:13 - 13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Genesis 18:20 - 20 And the Lord said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave,

Genesis 19:4-6 - 4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally." 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, "Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly!

The men of the city of Sodom wanted to have Homosexual relations with the two other men that were strangers. The two men were also angels, who were sent by God to destroy the city. Before the angels Destroyed the city Lot pled with them to come into his home and eat something. Afterward, they Lead Lot, his wife, and their two daughters out of the City and warned them "Not to Look Back". Lots wife did and she was turned into a pillar of salt. She was damned because after she was brought out of Sin and Damnation she looked back on her old life. Jesus gives us chance after chance to be free but don’t waste yours being to relaxed and looking back. The more you look back the harder it gets to turn whole-hearted toward God. You must just give up on Sin and Evil cold turkey (totally) .  Don’t worry about past mistakes Today is The Day. God will forgive you of all your sins if you truly Repent. You may never have a better chance than now.

This is a message to believers and non-believers that God means Business and He wants us to obey His Commands and not Look Back on the Life of Sin He brought us out from. We must remember that Lots wife heard God’s Warning and she did not believe 100 percent His Word, "Not to Look Back". Some say, Jesus done away with the old law, friend God’s Word is His Word. Jesus used this History lesson to warn us of His Coming. Jesus is telling us in His Word that many will be damned like those in Sodom, many will be like Lot’s wife and turn back to their life of sin after knowing the Truth. Some will be like Lot and escape the Great Tribulation which is the beginning of God's Judgment on the Earth. Some will also escape the Final Judgment of Hell and the Lake of Fire. Will you escape by heeding God's Warning to this Generation?

Genesis 19:15-26 - 15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed." 24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Sin has a snowball effect. Once we make little allowances for sin it will grow, believe that. If you let the devil ride in the back seat sooner or later he will move to the front seat and before too long he will be driving. Then you will be on your way to his home in Hell. Sin is like cancer if it is not stopped, it will spread until death is eminent. Jesus said that it is the little foxes that destroy the vine. You can do all things through Jesus Christ. Little victories add up to gigantic victories. Pay close attention to what you feed your mind and heart! The little things you think don't matter, really matter most. God is patient and longsuffering but He will not hold back His Wrath forever. Because of His patience and longsuffering many think He will continue to delay His coming but God will surprise the World. Those who are Watching, will Be Ready when Jesus Comes.

2 Timothy 3:1-9  - 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

2 Thessalonians 2: 3-4 - 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

1 Timothy 4:1-2 - 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1 Thessalonians 4  - 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Mt 24:21 - For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

These events happen in this order as the God's Word teaches,

Revelation 7 - 13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?" 14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Revelation 13 - 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or F74 the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Revelation 19:11-21 - 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 20:1-10 - 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Revelation 21:1-8 - 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. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." 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 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
