Greetings church. I’m excited to share with you a prophetic message. The Lord gave me during my time with Him in the Word. I was preparing along the lines of the Hazon Vision when the Lord, He intervened right there and gave me a verse and spoke to me from His Word, a verse that I’ve read many times but I never saw the prophetic implications of it.
So I’m really excited to share that with you. But before that, Let’s look at 1 Thessalonians 1 at the Christian posture. We are to “wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised” from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” You see, our Christian position today, our posture today is not to look forward to finally ending up in the grave.
Amen. We end up dying. That’s not the Christian position. If you read carefully in the New Testament, it is always pointing to the coming of the Lord. Even Paul was looking forward to the coming of the Lord, because “no one knows the day nor the hour.” But of all the generations that ever lived since Jesus rose from the dead, it is our generation that saw Israel come back as a nation.
In 1948, we saw the fulfillment of 2 great World Wars that Jesus talked about. “Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.” And He was talking about a war, a world war on that scale. A global war. We saw that in this past generation. Jesus says: “Jerusalem will be under the foot of Gentiles,” “until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
” So we know that Jerusalem fell into the hands of the Gentiles the moment Israel rebelled against God and God sent them into captivity. Amen. God delivered them into the hands of the Babylonians. And since then, the prophetic time clock started ticking. And from then on, all the way, even in the time of Jesus, they were under the Romans.
So Jerusalem has been under the foot of Gentiles all these years. But in 1967, in the Six Day War, Jerusalem came back to the Jews. And this is a fulfillment of Scripture. Amen. The Bible says that: “Jerusalem will be under the foot of non-Jews,” “until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” So give and take, we are in the season where the times of the Gentiles are about to be fulfilled.
It is not fully fulfilled yet. It will be fulfilled but an indication there, from what Jesus said, the moment Jerusalem comes back to the hands of the Jews. And we also see in the Scriptures that, the Bible tells us that before He (Jesus) comes again, “there will be great earthquakes.” Alright. Not just a normal small scale earthquake, but great earthquakes.
We’ve never seen great earthquakes on the scale that we have seen in our generation. It is almost many a times, back to back. In a given year, we never had so many great earthquakes as we have seen, in recent years. And all these are the beginning of sorrows or the birth pangs pointing to the coming of the Lord.
So we know that the rapture is coming. And the earth is travailing. The Lord is just telling us. God is not behind the World Wars. God is not behind the earthquakes, but God is the One telling us that the earth is groaning because of man’s sin and is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. And these are the signs, these are the symptoms, so to speak that you need to look out for that will point you to the nearness of the coming of the Lord.
