JESUS is as close as the mention of His Name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap ...
JESUS lets you rest in His Arms.

The Apostle John, James' brother,
often called 'the beloved' is the
author of this book called
Revelation of Jesus Christ.
While he was praying and worshiping
God (when he was in exile on the Isle
of Patmos) he recorded the visions
that God revealed to him there.
At this time John is old; all the other
apostles are gone (martyrs); Jerusalem
has been destroyed and the church has
been dispersed. Surely being all alone
he was looking forward to heaven.

Why are we fighting for things of this world?
Why try to gain the things we must lose; and
lose the things that really count in eternity?
We should be Christians knowing Christ.
We should be committed to Him, living for Him,
letting our testimonies be heard.
We should become the heroes……
The greatest thing of all the world is knowing
that you are saved, going to heaven and being
with Jesus forever!

The Prophetic Word tells us that one day every
thing will be destroyed. “Seeing, then, that all
things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,”
2 Peter 3:11
“And the world passeth away, and the lust of it;
but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever,”
1 John 2:17

Utopianism is another delusion being passed
around in the world today.
Everything is bright and beautiful to them. It is
a key to politics. Nobody will be listened to if they
don’t have a message of how wonderful and great
they can make life for us.
Man’s day will be followed by God’s day! The Day
of the Lord will be when the Christians are removed
and taken out of the world then God’s judgment will
fall on the earth.
Right now God is not judging the earth and the world
is protected with His believers being here.

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for what

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh
reap corruption; but He that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

But no such thing is said to the unbeliever. There
is no hope for them until they know Jesus as their
Savior.
God has no encouragement in His Word for the
people who doesn’t know Jesus.
To those who are not Christians, the Bible says
you are going to hell and the quicker you know
and face that the better. And besides that
they are going to face some terrible things in life.
Now that is doom and gloom!

But it is not. It’s the most exciting and most

you have a great destination ahead. He promises

He will win and those who believe in Him will

As long as man trusts in himself rather than God,
he will never learn truth.
God will frustrate all human dreams. He will work
against the Godless. He will move dreams and
schemes until He receives glory for himself.
It’s been told that John Lennon said that the
Beatles were as great as Jesus Christ. That’s a
fearful statement to make.
Any person who declares they are as great as God
or is god of the universe, will be opposed by the
Lord himself. He will not share His glory with any
one but the Father.

One day a great humanistic religion is going to
rule in the world and force everyone to accept
it’s dictates. All the world will be a part of that
religion at the start. This religion’s goal is to get
rid of God. Can you even imagine that? This kind
of act against God will not succeed....God will seek
to destroy all of those that come against him.
Be sure that when you believe in a religion that is a
violation of the truth of God, the end will be the way
of death. The Prophetic Word teaches it, so be sure
you do not get caught in the same thing or
anything similar.

Humanism is the idea that "man" is the end of
all things. That man's experience has to be
reality. He is the only one to be trusted and
relied on. It raises man to the position of God.
It says that only man can solve life's problems.
"There is a way that seemeth right unto a
man, but the end thereof are the ways of death,"
Proverbs 16:25
The prediction to those who follow or promote
humanism is very grim in the Bible. It will
produce a devastating result in the end.

Everyone in the world is looking for reality.
Most have come to the wrong conclusion of
what life is really about.
Christians do not have that problem because
we have the Bible. It holds principles to live
by that tells us what the world and life is all
about.
When we look at the Prophetic Word we see
a standard to obtain to that those without God
can not understand.

He will not reward people who are living contrary

God is the Lord. They need to know the truth
about Him....His majesty, His sovereignty and
His Son's sacrifice.
That is the purpose of history, proving that God
is the Lord. This knowledge helps each of us
to become strong Christians.

We are living in a world of conflict between good
and evil. So we must work to accomplish the will
of God in the middle of it.
In Matthew 13:38 Jesus calls the good and evil
'wheat and tares' and they are going to grow up

and evil. So we must work to accomplish the will
of God in the middle of it.
In Matthew 13:38 Jesus calls the good and evil
'wheat and tares' and they are going to grow up
together until the time of harvest in which then
they will be separated by God.
So the world is not a place of peace and will not

There is a message that comes through on almost
every page of God's Word, that we should keep in
mind and that is that God will protect His own.
It produces courage in our hearts to know that He
looks after us and never will leave us or forsake us.
Even though it looks like the world is falling apart
all around us, God says He will protect His children.
Read Psalms 91: 1-4 and 7-8
Satan can not make a promise like that for his. He
will destroy them that follow him when he is done
with them. He has no love or mercy towards any
one.
Jesus loves you....follow Him!

"....If God be for us, who can be against us?"
Romans 8:31
If we choose God and His goodness and right-
ousness, He will help us. But if we choose to
do wicked and that which is against God, we
will have Satan's help.
If we choose to fight against God, we will have
no chance....we will lose!
Don't be a loser, choose God!
Romans 8:31

David, of the Old Testament, was a man after
God's own heart. It wasn't because he was a
great man or intelligent, which he was, but it
was because he always sought God's forgiveness.
He had a humble spirit and desired to do good.
God empowers us if we strive to do good and do
His will. Just as Satan empowers those who are
wanting and willing to do wickedness.
Choose today who you will serve and obey!

"And call no man your father upon the earth;
for one is your Father, who is in heaven. Neither
be ye called masters; for one is your Master,
even Christ," Matt. 23:9-10
We are not to give people titles because they will
believe them and become prideful, which will
turn into wickedness.
There is a man coming that is very evil, who will
try to convince us that he is the best thing for us
and want to lead us expecting our trust. He will be
the Antichrist who is empowered by Satan.
We are to be watchful for this person because it
will be a sign that Jesus' return will be very
soon.

Another principle from Prophetic Word is that
Satan empowers wickedness. He will empower
every thing anybody tries to do, that's including
you and me.
Satan was a beautiful angel named Lucifer before
he fell from heaven. God cast him out because of
his pride.
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty
spirit before a fall," Prov. 16:18 Sinful pride
resides in man. What will we do with it?

"....I know not how to go out or come in...Give,
therefore, thy servant an understanding heart
to judge thy people....," 1Kings 3:7,9
Solomon asked God to help him even though
he was a very wise man. God said He would
help him because he was humble.
The Bible tells us that today's generation is
headed for tragedy and ruin if it doesn't turn
to Him (God) for leadership.

Jesus spoke these words and it is best that we
don't forget them, "for ye ought to say, If the
Lord will, we shall live, and do this or that,"
James 4:15
One day God is going to speak to a bunch of
proud and sinful people and He will say, "Go
ahead and run things if you think you can."
And when they try, He will bring about the
worst day that's ever been known to the world.

Man wants to take authority "There is a way
that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof
are the ways of death" Prov. 16:25
The Bible teaches that man is always wanting
authority for himself. We live in a world today
which man boasts of all he is doing and what he
has done and what he is able to do. We have even
developed new ways to look at life. Our under-
standing is being changed. We make those changes.
We look at things differently and we can't trust the
old ways.
Man will always try to take God's authority and
become his own master. But it will all be for
nothing.
God is in charge of this world "....he that openeth
and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man
openeth." Rev. 3:7

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy
unto which ye do well that ye take heed, as
unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until
the day dawn, and the day star arises in your
hearts," 2 Peter 1:9
The only way we are going to understand
today and tomorrow is by looking into the
Prophetic Word. The only light we will have,
walking in a world of darkness, is the light the
Bible sheds on the world around us.

In eternity, the believers will actually experience
the reality of their inheritance and their rulership
with Jesus.
Being a christian is no little matter. Believing in
Jesus is more than just emotional it's also joining
with Him and being a partaker of His divine nature.
Remember, there are two ways believers will go to
heaven.....physical death which we do not need to be
afraid because we do not die, we do not even lose
consciousness but discover that "being absent from
the body" is "to be present with the Lord"
2 Corinthians 5:8
The other way to go to heaven is to be Raptured or
caught up with the Church into the presence of God.
This event is going to be so thrilling that we should
want to know more about it and we can in the word
of God.
Those of you that do not know Jesus and want
to know more about what is in store for believers
and unbelievers, the word of God tells it all.
We love you and want you to join us.

It is clear that Christians get their joy from the
promises of the prophetic word and not from
present circumstances. We know that the joy
that awaits us is far better than the temporary
happiness we experience here for just a moment.
They can not even be compared.
"For which cause we faint not; but though our out
ward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed
day by day. For our light affliction, which is but
for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at
the things which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen: for the things which are seen are
temporal; but the things which are not seen are
eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
This life is not final and any thing we go through
is just for the moment. The life to come is the one
of ful joy.
Don't miss out
on this joy that is forever!

so cometh as a thief in the night."
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all

in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
The mystery was that the Church, the last
generation of living christians, were to be
changed and taken up instantly without dying.

resurrection of the
believers. It is one
of the doctrines of
the Christian faith.
The resurrection of
believers that have
previously died will
be similar to the
rapture, it will be the time their bodies, now
glorified, will be reunited with their spirits
which have been in the presence of Jesus.
The Rapture is going to reunite loved ones
with believers who previously died in Christ.
We will be able to greet each other than we
will enter into the presence of Jesus and our
Father God.
We will never again be separated from God
or the Lord and we will walk by sight and
not by faith.
We are the generation (the living Christians),
His Church that will see Jesus come with the
believers that He will bring with Him.
Prepare and be ready!
God has given us His word, even that sure
prophecy, so if we pay attention to it we can
become knowledgeable, and not ignorant.
Christians who have died are with the Lord
and they will be brought back to the Rapture
by Jesus.
The word reassures us that they are safe with
Jesus, for those who are unsure and concerned
about where their friends and loved ones are
right now.
Jesus will come down from heaven to meet the
believers in the air. He doesn't come all the
way to the earth but greets us in the air. This
moment will not be seen by the people on the
earth.
But they will be missed.....
Please don't be left behind!

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow
not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming
of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with
a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
This answered the questions some of the believers had
about those who had already died as believers and what
would happen to them at the rapture.
And it answers the questions that we have today about
the same thing.
Believers will escape the wrath to come,
unbelievers will not.

" Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy
calling, not according to our works, but according
to his own purpose and grace, which was given
us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
But is now made manifest by the appearing of
our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel:" 2 Timothy 1:9-10
Receiving letters like this from Paul and being
able to hear him teach, the early Christians
went after the truth of Jesus' resurrection and
their own individual resurrections.

Just as it is today.....the people in the world and
cities in the days of the disciples were ordinary
individuals. Some were wicked sinners, prostit-
utes, whoremongers, theives, and tax collectors.
From many degenerate past, they crossed from
that life to a life of faith in Jesus and have become
heirs of God. Coming from nothing to possessing
eternal life and all the riches of the universe.
Jesus even promised that we will never die.
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and
the life: he that believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?" John 11:25-26
What a life in compared to that which will be for
those who do not received Jesus for themselves.
Please re-consider!

"For unto the angels hath he not put in subjec-

one in a certain place testified, saying, What is
man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son
of man that thou visitest him? Thou madest
him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst
him with glory and honour, and didst set him
over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all
things in subjection under his feet. For in that
he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing
that is not put under him. But now we see not yet
all things put under him." Hebrews 2:5-8
God has put all things in subjection to man.That
is hard for us to put our mind around. We are
made just lower than the angels but in the image
and likeness of almighty God. What an awesome
reality.
We are to rule (take dominion) over the earth,
satan and demons, as well as other living creat-
ures. We live so far below what God planned
and has given to us through Jesus. He wants
to prepare us to rule in eternity.

are not to
inherit just
the world
but the
whole
universe.
"All things" are being given to them by the Lord."
or the world, or life, or death, or things present,
or things to come; all are your's; And ye are
Christ's; and Christ is God's."I Corinthians 3:21-23
What a great insentive for everyone to become a
Christian, knowing what the future holds for those
who believe verses what is in store for the ones
who choose not to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember eternity is forever and ever!
The prophets of the Old Testament did not
know of "the Body of Christ"."......the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath
been hid in God, who created all things by
Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly places
might be known by the church the manifold
wisdom of God," Ephesians 3:9-10
God has taken out of the world a very special
people for His name. Paul taught the Christians
that they were to inherit eternity.
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered
him up for us all, how shall he not with him also
freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32
This is only for the children of God....what a
destiny to have!
I invite those who do not know Him yet to do
so today!

The fact that the world would one day come to
an end was believed in the minds of the disciples.
In the New Testament we see the appearance
of a people who are given a very special destiny.
These people are called "Christians" who believe
in Jesus as the Christ, their Messiah.
They are who have become the "Church"....
Those who the Father has made Jesus the head
over. Also known as "the body of Christ."
"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth
all in all. " Ephesians 1:21-23

the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and
of the end of theworld?" Matthew 24:3
They had only a general knowledge of the end
times and did not pay attention to the ideas that
argued whether the world had been here forever
or how it would end.
They were only conscious that the earth existed
and that they knew it would end one day.
There is
so much
hope
for the
Christian.
The end-
time event
known as
the Rapture
will be so thrilling.
But it will be frightening to the people of the
world who has not believed the Gospel and
have not taken possession of eternal life.
There will be a generation of people on the
earth when Jesus returns for His saints; who
will be taken up, in their living bodies, to meet
Him in the air and will see Him face to face.

clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so

comfort one another with these words."
Thessalonians 4:16-18
Many prophecy scholars believe that we are
that generation. What an awesome time to be
alive in Christ Jesus and His Word.
Don't be one of those left to go through the
next event of the terrible tribulation.
Choose Christ as your Savior today!
It is
wonderful
that the Lord
of the Universe,
Jesus, invites us to know Him, His Father and
the Holy Spirit.
He invites you to believe His Gospel and have
life eternal. By taking Him as your Lord and
Savior you will receive the greatest gift of life
forever.
And will have nothing to fear concerning the
awful judgment of the Tribulation. If you are
alive when Jesus comes for the saints, you will
then take part of the Rapture of the Church
and be in His Army when He comes in power
and great glory at the end of the Tribulation
Period.
If you don't, you won't!
The Tribulation will be a.......
time of trouble,
time of evangelism
time of emphasising the Gospel
time of Israel's conversion
time of spiritual subversion
these events will mark the coming of the end.
We who have accepted Jesus as Lord and
Saviour have nothing to fear. We will be ready
for the rapture of the Church and will be in His
Army when He returns.
Those who haven't will not receive this glorious
life but will spend their eternity in hell......
it's forever! Please receive Him today!
