End Time Warning
sign that reads—THE BRIDGE IS OUT, and say, "Oh, someone is just trying
to scare us into taking another road; let’s go on the same way." They
go on and plunge to their death. The sign was not meant to scare people,
but to warn them of impending danger. The sign was put there, because
someone cared and didn’t want others to die.
God wants you to know, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS (the
prophecies from the Bible in this message), KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF
GOD IS NIGH AT HAND-Lk 21:31.
Will Russia and some Arab nations invade Israel? Yes.
Will the U.S.A. become involved in this war? Yes.
Will 1/4th of the world’s population die? Yes.
Will there be a world or global government and economy? Yes.
Did you know the Bible tells us about what is happening?
WHAT IS GOING ON?
People have said the end was near many times in the past—true. But
did you know the Bible shows us no prophecy of the latter days meant
anything until Israel was reborn into a nation? Did you know God’s Word
indicates to us a generation would not pass from Israel’s rebirth, till
all be fulfilled (which includes the Rapture, the Tribulation, and
Jesus Christ’s return)? A Jewish generation can be figured from the age of
20. We are in that time period now. We are not setting any dates, but
are giving you a warning sign to watch and be ready.
Many people have been preaching about the latter days of the end
times in churches, on radio, TV, and through books. Some include Billy
Graham, Hal Lindsey, Rex Humbard, Ray Brubaker, John Hagee, David Breese,
Zola Levitt, Jack Van Impe, and Peter Lalonde, just to mention a few.
Even people who do not know the Bible can sense something is about to
happen. To them that understand the Bible, no explanation is needed. To
them that are prideful, self-centered, that love this world, that
despise God’s correction, that are contentious and seeking the praise of men
rather than of God, no explanation is possible-ref Dan 12:4,10; Mt
24:37, 39.
A dying declaration is considered proof in a court of law. Why is
this? When you are dying, it is the one time you don’t lie. Christ’s
words as He was dying on the cross for your sins are evidence. Jesus said,
FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO-Lk 23:34. Just
before being hung on the cross, He said He was the Son of God-ref Mt 27:43;
Mk 14:62.
It has been said that it is virtually impossible for anyone to make
11 straight predictions, 2000 years into the future. There is only one
chance in 8 x 10 to the 63rd power, or 80 with 63 zeros after it that
such a thing could be done. If such a set of predictions existed, it
would have to be the Word of God.
Consider, could you write eleven straight predictions that would
take place 2000 years in the future, the year 4000 A.D.? Include the
rebirth of a specific nation and exactly how it would be reborn. Include
specific nations that would exist and certain nations that would be
allied together, and the exact size of a nation’s army. Include what the
people would be like in the year 4000. Include what the church would be
like in those days. Include the names of actual cities that would exist
and name certain crops and fruit trees that would exist. Do eleven
straight prophecies, and be exactly correct on every single one. The Bible
not only does this eleven times, but hundreds of times with absolute,
perfect accuracy. If this is so, even the most skeptical person would
have to agree that there is indeed a God, and the Bible has to be the Word
of God. 2 Peter 1:20,21 KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO PROPHECY OF THE
SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NO!
T IN OLD TIME BY THE WILL OF MAN: BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY
WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST. O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL
THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN-Lk 24:25. However, believing there is a God
and acknowledging the Bible is the Word of God does not save a person.
A person needs to repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as
their only hope of being saved. This is done by faith.
Let’s prove the Bible is true and that we are nearing the end of
the last generation before Christ returns.
1. The Jewish people would be scattered worldwide; yet Israel would
become a nation again-ref Isa 66:8; Mic 5:3. Prophecy fulfilled. This
happened exactly as predicted on May 14, 1948. That’s 1 out of 1.
Note: Israel was destroyed in approximately 721 B.C. and Judah
about 135 years later. For the last 2500 years, approximately fourteen
different peoples have possessed the land of Israel. Nevertheless, the
Bible showed that the day would come when the nation of Israel would be
reborn.
The rebirth of Israel was a key sign, indicating we had entered a
time period called the latter days. It was the beginning of a countdown
leading to the Tribulation and culminating with the Battle of
Armageddon and the return of Jesus immediately after. Along with the fulfillment
of this crucial event are over 360 prophecies that would all come
together, so we might recognize that the Tribulation is very close at hand.
Twenty-nine of them are listed here.
Yet the Bible foretells that most people would not believe these
things, despite the overwhelming evidence of the fulfillment of the signs
from God’s Word and the incredible rebirth of Israel happening exactly
as predicted. As people refused to believe the flood was coming in
Noah’s time, so people today willingly choose to disregard the signs of the
times.
2. Israel shall be brought forth in one day, at once-ref Isa 66:8.
Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 2 out of 2.
Note: On Nov. 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the U.N. approved a
resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish state in
Palestine. On the morning of May 14, 1948 (the last day of the British mandate),
a meeting of the People’s Council took place in Israel to decide on the
name of the state and to finalize the declaration. At exactly 4pm, the
proclamation ceremony began at the Tel Aviv museum. The 979 Hebrew
words of the Scroll of Independence were read. All stood, and the scroll
was adopted. The notorious White Paper, issued by the British in 1930
restricting Jewish immigration, was declared null and void. Members of the
People’s Council signed the proclamation. David Ben-Gurion rapped his
gavel, declaring, "The State of Israel is established. This meeting is
ended." Israel was brought forth as a nation in one day, at once. It
happened exactly as predicted. At midnight, the British soldiers and high
commissioner would leave. President Truman was swift in announ!
cing U.S. recognition of Israel. The following morning, on May 15,
Israel was under armed attack by the Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese,
Jordanians, and Iraqis.
3. The rebirth of Israel would happen after many days. It would
occur a long time in the future after the prophecy was made and at the
time the bible calls the latter days-Ezek 38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14,
1948. That’s 3 out of 3.
Note: It is estimated that this prophecy was made around 580 B.C.
Approximately 2500 years later, in 1948, this prophecy was fulfilled.
4. Israel would be brought forth (or reborn) "out of the
nations."-Ezek 38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948. That’s 4 out of 4.
Note: As previously stated, on Nov 29, 1947, the General Assembly
of the "United Nations" approved a resolution calling for the
establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. This prophecy was perfectly
fulfilled. Consider, for centuries the land of Israel had been occupied by
many nations. Israel was "brought forth out of the nations"—the children
of Israel from many nations were returning to their ancient homeland.
5. Israel must regain the city of Jerusalem-Joel 2:32; Isa 28:14;
Ezek 22:19. This happened just as predicted in 1967. That’s 5 out of 5.
Note: The Bible gives us two methods so we would know we are in the
last generation. One is by Israel’s rebirth. The other, by a precise
line of events that would all come together at one time. Israel was
reborn on May 14th, 1948. The Bible indicates that from Israel’s rebirth a
generation would not pass till all be fulfilled. A Jewish generation can
be figured from the age of 20 to 60. We are not setting any date;
however, it seems clear from Israel’s rebirth and the signs of the times—
that we are living in that generation now and the Rapture and Tribulation
are soon to come.
6. The Christian church at the time of the end would be lukewarm,
neither cold nor hot for Jesus. Prophecy fulfilled. That’s 6 out of 6.
Note: God will spew them out. Many church leaders and people that
call themselves a Christian and are sure they are saved will not be
going to heaven. The Bible tells us—you have acquired wealth, but your true
condition is wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked and you don’t
know it-Rev 3:14-22. This is today’s church. Most churches preach very
little Scripture, but lots of worldly stories. Many sing a great deal,
but put very little emphasis on repentance, obeying, serving, and
fearing God, the fruits of the Spirit, Bible prophecy, water baptism by
immersion, and studying your Bible faithfully every day. Many are only
entertainment centers that teach what their members want to hear. People
will not endure sound doctrine-2 Tim 4:3. They turn away from the truth-2
Tim 4:4. Many church members are so lukewarm or dead, they don’t even
bring their Bibles with them to the house of God. Many ministers think
this is the best church age ever, yet the Bible clearly shows it !
is the worst and most deceived.
7. The Bible gives us over 50 descriptions about the people at the
time of the end. Here are some:
A. Some would depart from the faith and go into devil worship-1 Tim
4:1. This is perfect. Reportedly in Great Britain alone, there are
about 35,000 professing witches.
B. People would have no conscience-1 Tim 4:1,2.
C. People would mock about the last days and not believe-2 Pe 3:3;
Jude 18.
D. People would become lovers of themselves-2 Tim 3:1,2. Remember
the TV commercials—"I do it for me"?
E. People would be disobeying their parents-2 Tim 3:1,2.
F. People would be grateful for nothing-2 Tim 3:1,2.
G. Homosexuality would increase-Lk 17:28,30; ref Gen 19:5; Ro
1:24,26,27.
H. People would be without self-control in sex-2 Tim 3:1,2,6; Rev
9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is this not the great sex generation?
I. People would be untrustworthy, friends would betray friends-2
Tim 3:1-3.
J. People would love pleasures more than God-2 Tim 3:1,2,4. This
is true. Shall we go on a picnic, watch football, or sleep. Church?—we
can go another time. Our American motto "In God we trust" has become a
joke. Remember, these were all predicted centuries ago as part of the
signs that we are at the time of the end.
K. People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21. The Greek word for
sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means pharmaceuticals or drugs. God’s Word is 100%
right on every one. That’s 7 out of 7. How could you have any doubts at
this point?
Note: Fifty years ago, many people never locked their doors at
night. People could leave their keys in their car. Merchants could leave
their merchandise on the sidewalk without guards, and there was little or
no profanity on television, radio, or in the movies. One of the biggest
problems in public school was gum chewing. Those days are long gone.
8. There would be weapons that could destroy the world-Mk 13:20;
Rev 6:8; Rev 9:18; Zech 14:8,12. This prophecy is true. That’s 8 out of
8.
Note: When in our history would anyone have ever thought this
possible? It is estimated that the combined nuclear arsenals of the USA and
Russia (as of the year 2000) could kill every living thing on earth 6
times over.
9. There would be an increase in earthquakes-Mt 24:2,3,7; Mk 13:8;
Lk 21:11. This prophecy is correct. That’s 9 out of 9.
Note: One might think as the earth settled over a period of time
that earthquakes would decrease like ripples in the water. Yet the Bible
indicates the opposite is true. In this last generation, research from
the U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center
reveals that major earthquakes of a magnitude of 6.0 or higher have
remained relatively constant during this century. However, the total number of
earthquakes in recent years appear to be rising. For example, it was
reported that in 1986, the total number of earthquakes was 12,718. In
l990, it was 16,612. In 1994, it was 19,371. This will culminate during
the Battle of Armageddon, AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS. At that
time, there will be an earthquake that will shake the world. The cities
of the nations will fall. Every island will flee away.
10. At the time of the end, there would be famines in various
places. Food shortages would still exist in some places-Mt 24:3,4,7; ref Mk
13:8; Lk 21:11. This prophecy is accurate. That’s 10 out of 10.
Note: In this last generation, many are starving in the world.
Poverty and crop failure, due to severe weather, drought, or insect
infestation, are often a factor. Many people are born, live, and die on the
streets, in alleyways, or railroad stations in some countries of the
world. Multitudes live in mud houses with grass or palm branches for a roof
or have no place to live at all. Billions have no electricity. In some
nations, good drinking water is almost nonexistent. Senseless wars have
left millions of people with no place to go. Refugee camps exist in
many places where people live under conditions that are almost
indescribable. They are hungry.
One such person was asked, as I recall, "What would it take for you
to consider yourself rich?" His reply was, "I would consider myself
rich, if I could have a roof over my head that did not leak, and if I
could know what it is like to go to bed at night with a full stomach."
It has been estimated that 60,000,000 people a year die from
starvation around the world. This prophecy is accurate.
11. The Gospel must be published in all the world-Mk 13:10. This
prophecy is exact. That’s 11 out of 11.
Note: In this last generation, to our knowledge, the Gospel is
being published (or is about to be published) in the primary language of
every nation of the world or "among all nations." Yet when this prophecy
was made, the possibility of such a thing would have seemed impossible.
There was no printing press or any means to do such a thing. In
addition to this, the Gospel should be available by short-wave radio to
listeners anywhere in the world. We have just reached the point that seemed
impossible—11 perfect predictions—yet with God nothing is impossible.
12. In the latter days when Israel was once again a nation, there
would be a great military power to the extreme north of Israel in the
land of Magog (which is modern-day Russia)-Ezek 38:2-4,8,15,16.
Incredible. That’s 12 out of 12.
Note: How could the Bible have foretold such a thing? It told the
location of this nation, facts about its military, and even the time
period it would come to pass. As was already said in Lk 24:25-O FOOLS, AND
SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN. Certainly,
at this point, even the biggest skeptic in the world can see that the
Bible is true, there is a God, and we are very near the time of the end.
Here are just a few more prophecies briefly given, out of the 365
that exist, regarding this latter day generation.
13. In the last days, people would be hoarding gold and silver.
True. It began in the late 1970’s. That’s 13 out of 13.
14. There would be a nation to the far east of Israel, to the end
of the earth. This nation would have an army of 200 million. This is
absolutely astounding. It is estimated by some that the population of the
entire world at the time of Christ was only about 200,000,000. How then
could the Bible have ever told the location of a nation and given such
a figure as the size of its army nearly 2000 years ago? China has
boasted that they could field an army of this exact figure. That’s 14 out of
14.
15. The currency in Israel at the time of the end would be the
shekel. The currency had been the Israeli pound until June 1980, when it
was changed to the shekel. The Bible is flawless. That’s 15 out of 15.
16. There would be an economic alliance of the nations of the Old
Roman Empire. It would have a military capability. This is a perfect
description of the European Economic Community (the EEC), which is in the
process right now of adopting the one-currency system for many of their
member nations. It is written, IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these
nations, which is now) SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM-Dan 2:44.
That’s 16 out of 16.
About 29 prophecies in 16 sets have been given, all perfect and all
written centuries ago. The chance of any person writing 29 perfect
prophecies 2000 years into the future is not possible. The Bible is the
Word of God, and we have just proved it. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Repent and get baptized by full immersion. Read and obey the Gospel.
God loves you. He is not willing that any should perish. The Rapture is
close. Most people are not ready and will not be taken. However, "YOU"
cannot say you did not know. Know and understand, Mt 16:26-WHAT IS A MAN
PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? OR
WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THE RAPTURE AND TRIBULATION
RAPTURE is a term used to describe the removal from the earth of
all living people that have been born-again as evidenced by their fruits.
Just prior to the Tribulation coming about, the Rapture will take
place. The number that will be raptured will be far fewer than most people
might think. The Bible unmistakably portrays the raptured saints in
heaven before the throne of God, prior to the Antichrist coming forth and
the Tribulation beginning. The Scripture tells us, in the twinkling of
an eye, we shall be changed and be with Jesus in the air. 1 Cor
15:51,52-WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT IN
THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND;
1 Thes 4:16,17-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. We may be asleep, immediately we will be with Jesus. All the
unbelievers, the lukewarm Christians, and those that did not obey the Gos!
pel will be left to face the Tribulation.
THE TRIBULATION is the worst time in history since man has been on
the earth. Immediately following the Rapture, the man of sin (called
the Antichrist) comes forth and assumes control of the EEC. He can be
expected to be very charismatic and brilliant. He confirms a treaty with
Israel and others, which begins the Tribulation.
It is a 7 year period, but the Lord may have shortened the first 3
1/2 years in some way-ref Mk 13:20; Ro 9:28. We are not setting a date;
however, we are now living in that generation in which this will
happen. Hate, murder, thefts, rape, and every imaginable form of evil will
abound. During this horrible period of God’s wrath, Russia, Iran, and
other nations will come against Israel. The USA becomes involved.
One-fourth of the world’s population will die. Many of the dead will be from
the USA, as well as Russia. One-third of trees are burned up. All green
grass is burned up. One-third of the sea will become blood. One-third of
the creatures in the sea will die. One-third of the ships are
destroyed. One-third of the waters become wormwood (or poisoned, or
radioactive). Massive famines, increased earthquakes, and more diseases will happen
as birth pangs of a woman. Those left alive will have opportunities to
receive Jesus through the preaching of 144,000 male, virgin Jew!
s; however, death by decapitation lies ahead for most that put their
trust in Jesus, unless they renounce their faith. There will also be many
false Christs and false prophets. A one-world, false religion that God
calls MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH will increase. This religion has existed for hundreds of
years and exists today. The nations of the world have become
intoxicated with her false teachings. The temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt.
About 3½ years from the end of the Tribulation, the Antichrist (also
called the beast) is killed with a wound in the head by a weapon, but his
deadly wound will be healed. He will come back to life. He then
declares himself to be God and moves into the temple in Jerusalem. A false
prophet appears that will do great wonders. The sacrifices at the temple
will be stopped. The abomination of desolation occurs. An image of the
Antichrist will be set on a wing of the temple. Those that refu!
se to worship it will be beheaded.
The elect born-again Jews now flee for their lives to a place where
God will hide them and take care of them during the last three and a
half years. Power is given to the Antichrist over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations. All that dwell on the earth shall worship the
Antichrist, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb. During
these last three and a half years (called the Great Tribulation), world
conditions will continue to worsen. A one-world system will be set up.
The Antichrist shall make war against the saints and will overcome
them. People will be required to take the mark of the Antichrist or the
number of his name (666) in or on their forehead or right hand. If they
refuse, they cannot buy or sell. Two prophets of God will appear. One of
them is Elijah. Their ministry lasts 1260 days. They warn people not to
take the mark or worship the image. There is no forgiveness from God
afterward for those that take the mark and worship the image. Th!
ey will go to the eternal lake of fire. These two witnesses have the
power to shut up heaven that it rain not during their days on the earth.
They have the power to bring all kinds of plagues on the earth.
Multitudes will be slain for the Word of God. Locusts will sting men with a
sting like a scorpion. It will be so bad that men will seek death and
shall not find it. There will be terrible sores upon men. The rivers and
fountains will become blood. Men will be scorched with great heat.
Earthquakes continue to get worse and worse. Diseases will continue to get
worse and worse. Two hundred million troops will march to Israel from
the east and cross the dried up Euphrates River. One-third more of the
earth’s population will be killed. After the 1260 days, the two prophets
of God will be killed. People will rejoice, but then after three and a
half days, they will arise and ascend up to heaven as people watch.
Great fear falls on those that see this. Men will be so terrified tha!
t their hearts will fail, as they consider what is about to happen.
Multitudes will hide in the rocks and say, "FALL ON US AND HIDE US
FROM...HIM (Jesus)…FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; AND WHO SHALL BE
ABLE TO STAND?"-Rev 6:16,17.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days, the Battle of
Armageddon explodes. It lasts one day. The kings and armies of the earth
are gathered to make war against Jesus. Jesus Christ returns as the King
of Kings and Lord of Lords with all His saints. If He had not returned
exactly when He did, there should be no life left on earth. The
Antichrist and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan is
chained for one thousand years, so he can deceive the nations no longer
till the thousand years be fulfilled. Every force of nature is likely to
be unleashed at once, including killer tornadoes, hurricanes, tidal
waves, lightning encircling the earth, and the biggest earthquake in
mankind’s history. The cities and the mountains of the world will crumble.
The Bible tells that every island fled away. The mountains were not
found. There is great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of
70 to l00 pounds. The earth will move out of its place. At the end!
of that one day, there are so few people left alive that a child could
write the number.
TO THE SKEPTIC AND UNBELIEVER
This may all sound like a fairy tale, but remember, there are
approximately 10,000 prophecies in the Bible—every single one up to this
time has come true, without a single exception. THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS
HEART, THERE IS NO GOD-Ps 14:1.
ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS?
If you had a sudden heart attack or the Rapture came in the next
five minutes, are you sure you are ready to meet God? You may say, "I
believe I’m a good person." The Bible says all of your righteous deeds ARE
AS FILTHY RAGS. You may be religious and go to church, but if you died
right now—you would perish to hell. Why? Because you have not been
born-again. You may say, "Well my church never preaches like this." Will
you trust your religion or what the Bible says? If you choose not to
accept God’s way to enter heaven, then you are choosing eternal separation
from God. God loves you.
YOU MAY ASK, "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?" FOUR THINGS.
1. You must admit that you are a sinner. The Bible tells us, ALL
HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. THE WAGES OF SIN IS
DEATH.
2. Be willing to change, to forsake all sin, to humble yourself and
live for Jesus. Repent. Be willing to ask God for His help to make that
change. The Bible tells us, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE
PERISH. WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF
GOD. Jesus tells us, HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.
3. Believe in your heart Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son,
God Who came to this earth in human form. Believe He died for your sins.
It is written, THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN,
WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. If you are caught robbing a bank, you have to
go to jail. Jesus never sinned. When He died on the cross, He did not
die for the things He did. He died to pay your jail sentence.
4. Ask for forgiveness. Ask for God’s mercy. By faith receive Jesus
Christ as your only hope of salvation. Afterwards, be willing to get
baptized by full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost.
Nicodemus was considered a very religious man in the Bible;
however, in Jn 3:3, Jesus tells him it is not enough. You MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
You must ask for God’s forgiveness. You must confess Him publicly.
Whenever Jesus called someone, He did it publicly. He said in Mt
10:32-WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL I CONFESS ALSO
BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. As it is also written, BE READY
ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE
THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR-1 Pe 3:15.
We invite you to make that decision for Jesus right now. You need
to repent and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Please kneel right
where you are. Can you feel God calling you right now? Is your heart
pounding? You may have been baptized or confirmed, but something inside
you is saying, "Be sure." Perhaps you have strayed from God and need to
rededicate your life to Jesus now. Would you rather go to be with God or
the lake of fire? You have that choice right now. God wants you to
receive the gift of eternal life. Are you sure there is not a sin, there is
nothing that stands between you and God? But you may know there is. The
Bible tells us THERE IS A WAY WHICH SEEMETH RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE
END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF DEATH. Jesus wants you to KNOW HIM, to have
a personal relationship with Him. It’s not a matter of whether you
think you know Jesus, but does Jesus know you?
Right now, kneel and pray this prayer out loud and mean it with all
your heart.
DEAR JESUS, I AM A SINNER. I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD AND
DIED FOR MY SINS ON THE CROSS. FORGIVE ALL OF MY SINS. JESUS, I REPENT. I
ASK YOU TO HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER, AND COME INTO MY LIFE. GIVE ME
YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR POWER. HELP ME TO FOLLOW AND OBEY YOUR
COMMANDMENTS, AND TO LIVE FOR YOU. JESUS, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR HEARING
MY PRAYER. THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE. I ASK IT IN THE NAME OF
MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
IF YOU JUST SAID THAT PRAYER AND MEANT IT
We recommend you now read your Bible every day faithfully—5
chapters a day. Begin with the Gospel of John, and read it through three
times. Next go to Matthew and read the New Testament through three times.
Then begin reading the entire Bible in order, beginning with Genesis. As
God opens up His Word to you, obey it. Be a doer of the Word and not a
hearer only, deceiving yourself-ref Ja 1:22. As you are faithful, God
will open your understanding of His Word more and more.
Find a good Bible-teaching church that teaches God’s Word, sound
doctrine, Bible prophecy and the Revelation, not just stories about
worldly things. Attend often and get baptized. Tell others that Jesus is
your only hope of salvation. If you’ve just said that prayer and committed
your life to Jesus, let us know. We would like to pray for you.
FINAL NOTE ON SALVATION
Many people are positive that they are saved. They base this on
emotions. They may make certain comments, such as, "I am a good person. I
do what is right. I’m not as bad as that person. I had an experience
with God. I feel that I am saved. I can feel God is with me. I know the
Holy Spirit is inside of me. I am a preacher, an elder, a prophet, or a
preacher’s wife. I have prayed, and God answered my prayer. I believe
in God. God did this or that for me. I sing in the choir. I go to
church. I praise and worship God. I give my money to the church. I was
baptized." While all of this sounds very nice, it is not based upon biblical
knowledge. Many that are now in hell have said such things. The
Pharisees in the New Testament also could have said many of these things, but
Jesus showed them clearly they were not saved.
If you have received Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, as your
Lord and Savior, it is because God in His mercy has opened your
understanding. As it is written, FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY
MAN SHOULD BOAST. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS
UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN
THEM-Eph 2:8-10.
"After" we believe on Jesus Christ, "after" we have repented of our
sins, we are commanded to be baptized by full immersion in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is written, HE
THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT
SHALL BE DAMNED-Mk 16:16. Note, believing on Jesus comes "before" water
baptism. Baptism prior to repenting and believing on Jesus has no
meaning. You cannot be baptized into One in Whom you do not believe. It is
written, FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT
ON CHRIST-Gal 3:27. Water baptism is by full immersion. As it is
written, BURIED WITH HIM (with Jesus) IN BAPTISM (or buried in the water)-Col
2:12, ref Ro 6:4. Jesus commanded, GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL
NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF
THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE
COMMANDED YOU: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTO THE END OF !
THE WORLD. AMEN-Mt 28:19,20.
Surrender means "you give up." You stop putting your will before
God’s will. You allow Jesus (God’s Word) to reign over you. You submit to
Jesus and let Him become the Lord of your life.
If you have not humbled yourself, and totally surrendered to Jesus,
and become as a little child (ref Mt 18:3), and continued steadfast in
the faith, I would suggest that NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW
IS THE DAY OF SALVATION-2 Cor 6:2. Please submit to God, say the prayer,
and mean it with all of your heart. God loves YOU and cares.
It is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE
ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM
THAT LOVE HIM-1 Cor 2:9.
I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU, THAT I HAVE SET
BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE,
THAT…THOU…MAY LIVE-Deut 30:19.
