Signs Of The Lords Soon Return – To Set Up His Kingdom On Earth (12/2004)

Knowledge shall increase; Daniel.12:4 "But thou O Daniel shut up the words and seal the book; even to the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 

Motor Vehicle: Naham:2: 3,4 "the chariots shall be like flaming torches in the day of His Preparation. The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the Broadway’s: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like lightning's."

The Airplane: Isaiah. 31:5 "As birds flying so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem: defending it He will also deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it." In 1917, General Allenby of Great Britain sent six bombers from the Royal Air Force, armed with leaflets for the Turks to surrender. Being a Christian he did not desire the carnage of the city or the people occupying it. (Turks) The city was turned over without blood shed, for the first time, in the 24 times that it was captured. (Taken from A.J. Lowe.)

Radio: Job. 38:35 " Cans't thou send lightenings, that they may go, and say unto thee here we are?"

Television: Rev. 11:9. "And they of the people and kindred's and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies, three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves." 

Natural Disasters: such as Famines, Pestilence, and earth quakes, in divers places." Luke 21:11 “ And great earth quakes shall be in divers places, and famines and pestilence, and fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven.” Recorded Earth Quakes of greater then six on Richter Scale as we know it today from the 15th to the 19th Century

15th -------------------- 115, 

16th -------------------- 253, 

17th -------------------- 378.

18th -------------------- 640, 

19th ------------------- 2119.

One severe earth quake hits the earth every year. From 1897 to 1946 the average number of earth quakes over six on R.S. was three every ten years.

Tidal Waves: Luke 25: 21 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.” (J. A. Lowe’s book: End Time Events.)

There are of course many more signs, such as immoral conditions, not only in the world as a whole, but sometimes within the church. Sodomy according to the bible is one of the basest of sins of the most evil type. Today it is accepted, not only in society, but also in many religious groups, and even in some churches. Luke 17 26 – 30. Then there is the problems within the family structure, such as divorce, partner abuse, child abuse, same sex marriage, etc. When the family structure disintegrates, not only does it effect our society, but our country will eventually crumble. Most of the early Empires fell because of the disintegration of the family structure, and it will happen again if, no boundaries are set by church and state.

These are basically all negative signs from our prospective, that are mentioned to this point, however there are many positive signs, that point to the Great Day of the Lord. The blossoming of the fig tree (Jew or Israel) Matt. 24: 32 – 34. “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer (end of age) is near. So likewise, when you shall see all these things, know that it (end of age) is near at the door. Verily I say onto you. This generation, shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled, heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” We have always thought of a generation as a specific period of time, some say 30 years some say 40 years, and in most situations these number of years could apply. However in this instance, this generation is speaking of a people that are living at the time of the fig tree putting forth it’s leaves.

It was in 1948 that Israel became a nation, and I believe that most of us would agree that this symbolizes Israel as the budding fig tree be- coming a nation. Now at the time of Israel becoming a nation, there was this generation that was living, of which you and I were part of. Now there were millions more besides you and me of our age; there were one year old and younger, there were one hundred year old and older. Now all these combined make up the generation that was living at the time of the budding of the fig tree, but not all will see the End of this Age. The older ones like our parents that have gone on to be with the Lord, and they of course will not witness these events. However the children that were one year old when Israel became a nation in 1948 will definitely be here to see this great event.

Those children today are 56–57 years old. If they reach the full old age of 70 years, which is the scriptural age, but some could be older, (maybe 80)that means that Christ’s coming (at the end of this age) for the 70 –80 year old somewhere between 14 - 24 years away, or in 2019 – 2029. Now don’t accuse me of setting dates, I know what Jesus said “ No one knows the day or the hour.” What I am doing thus far is far from date setting let alone hour setting.

Having said that, we are also told that we should be able to discern the signs of the times. Matt. 16:3b O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but you cannot discern the end of the signs of the times.” Let me show you that we are much closer to Christ’s coming (end of age) to His Temple (for his Bride) then most of us would want to believe. 

Using God’s principle of a thousand years as one day with God. 2 Peter 3:8 “be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day (of God’s) is with the Lord as a thousand years ( of ours) and a thousand years (of ours) is as one day (of God’s).” Jesus was crucified at the close of the 4th day (4000yrs.)

Which was at the close of the old dispensation. (Old Testament) Jesus was born 331/2 yrs. before the close of the Old Testament dispensation. He was slain for the whole house of Israel, (the world) on the eve of the 4th day (4000 yrs.) Exodus 12:6 “And you shall keep it (The Lamb) up until the eve of the i4th day of the same month and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (end of 4th day) The Lamb had been taken out of the flock on the 10th day and held to the 14th day. Exodus 12:3 (4 days or 4 millenniums)

When Christ was crucified at the close of the 4th day, 4000 yrs. since the fall of Adam it was the end of the Old Testament Age. As stated previously that Jesus lived and ministered in the Old Testament times, and our New Testament first century did not begin till after Jesus resurrection. When He arose from the grave on that first Easter morning, it was the beginning of a new era, the New Testament Era.

Our calendar is out dated, in that it was set up according to Jesus birth, when it should have been from His resurrection. Furthermore there apparently was a mistake in arriving at His birth date. It was many centuries after Jesus birth that the calendar was set up, and there is a mistake in that Jesus was born in 4 BC as it supposedly was the aim for His birth to be in 1BC. Therefore most Bible scholars agree that He was born the year of 4 BC Now we know that He was 30 years old when he started His public ministry. Luke 3:23 “ and Jesus was about 30 years of age ----.” We also know that He ministered for 3 ½ yrs. and therefore was 33 ½ years old when He was crucified. He therefore was crucified in 30 AD, taking into consideration the mistake in His birth date of 4 years. Our calendar should be 2004 – 30 =1974. Therefore the millennium age is approximately 26 years away. Add 26 + 2004 = brings us to the year of 2030 for the new millennium to arrive. There are many indications in scripture that the over comers will reign and rule with Christ in the one thousand years (3rd. millennium) Now a one year old child born in 1948 will in 2030 be only 82 years old, and a 20 year old youth would be the ripe old age of 102 years old. Myself having been 24 in 1948 will be 106 years old as we enter into the 3rd day (millennium) The Lord willing I’ll be there

Jesus and His disciples were born and ministered in the close of the fourth millennium. (Old Testament Age) to prepare the Jews and Gentiles (The World) for the kingdom of heaven that was about to come. Jesus had a fore runner, by the name of John the Baptist, to prepare the people for His ministry, who came in the Spirit of Elijah. Luke 1:16&17 “And he (John) will persuade many a Jew to turn to the Lord his God. He will be a man of rugged spirit and power like Elijah, the prophet of old, and he will precede the coming of the messiah, preparing the people for His arrival. He will soften adult hearts to become like children, and will change disobedient minds to the wisdom of faith.”

We are about to enter a new era where God is about to set up His kingdom here on earth, Christ will rule this kingdom with his bride, (elect) church within the church. Just as Jesus and His disciples ministered in the Old Era, teaching and preaching that the kingdom of God was at hand, and John the Baptist prepared the way, in the spirit of Elijah, so also, the ministry of the five fold ministry ( especially apostles and prophets which are being restored) will prepare the way for the manifested sons of God, and will come in the spirit of Elijah as fore runners to restore all things, ( Matt. 17:11 “And Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.” ) to prepare for the return of the Lord, through the five fold ministry, that the church His Bride should be holy without spot or wrinkle, cleansed by the washing of water by the word. (Eph. 6:26 – 27 also Eph. 4:12+13 “ For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”

The Lord is building His Temple, but just as in the restoration temple under Ezra (Ezra 3:10 – 13 ) when the time came, the foundation of the temple was not laid. It is like that in these days. The foundation of the Temple of the Lord is the Apostles and Prophets. Eph 2: 20 –22 “And are built upon the foundation, of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone; in whom, all the building fitly framed together growth unto a Holy Temple of the Lord; in whom you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” Up until these last several decades, there has not been to great a manifestation of these ministries. The other three ascension gift ministries are very much visible throughout the church. It is as these foundational ministries, Apostles and Prophets are incorporated into the Church, through the Holy Spirit, that the church of the Lord Jesus will be structured as He always intended for it to be. With the restoration of Apostles and Prophets will follow the restoration truths, of Eternal Judgment, resurrection of the Dead, and Perfection. There will be a mantle of authority rest upon them. Their ministry will cleanse the church as the Lord Jesus cleansed the Temple in His earthly ministry. A Judged Church will produce a Perfect Church.

This process of perfecting the saints, till we all come in the unity of the faith, unto a perfect man, unto the stature of the fullness of Christ, could take the church His body, to the end of the third day (millennium)

In Luke we read of an account where certain Pharisees came to Jesus, and asked Him to leave because Herod they say, wants to kill Him. His response was “ go tell that Fox, ‘Behold I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected, ”Luke 13: 32. Jesus in this verse is referring to God’s day as a thousand of our years is one day to Him. Today and Tomorrow are prophetic about the past two millenniums, or God’s 1st and 2nd day and the 3rd day is the millennium that we’re about to enter where He says He will be perfected. Jesus of course did not need perfecting, so why would he make this statement? We know that the church His body is not perfect, even though God sees us as pure and holy and perfect because God sees the blood and passes over us. (In Egypt the death angel took all the first born, through out the land, but if the blood of the lamb was brushed over the door lintel, the blood protected those, within the house from the death angel and were saved, Jesus is that Lamb that takes away the sins of the world.) It is not God that is coming for the church, but Jesus who not only shed His blood, was bruised for our iniquity and with His stripes we are healed. He is the Bridegroom coming for a perfect Bride, (elect church) without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, cleansed by the washing of the water of the word.

Again John 2:19 after Jesus had cleansed the Temple, the Jews wanted to know by what sign or authority he did these things. His reply was “destroy this temple and in three day I will raise it up. V.20 Then the Jews said ‘ it has taken forty – six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days. V21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. This scripture has a two fold prophecy, first He was fore telling of His resurrection in three days as Jonah was three days and nights in the belly of a fish, likewise, the son of man must be three days and nights in the earth. (grave) ( Our celebration of the passion week is scripturally incorrect, there is no way that Friday night to Sunday morning constitutes, three days and three nights in the grave. ( Read the article The week of crucifixion). The second phase of this prophecy is still future and will be fully fulfilled in the 3rd day, (millennium) when the church His body the temple will be raised up to be the perfect Bride. Thus fulfilling His prophecy “In three days (3 –1000 yr. days) I will raise it (The Temple His Body) up.” John 2:19

Before the close of this millennium and the beginning of the third millennium, much has to transpire in

the church and in our society. We in the western world have lived in luxury, compared to the third world

countries. We are obsessed with materialism to the point where it has become an idol. Also the majority of Christians believe that as long as they have given their tithe, the rest of what they have is theirs to do as they wish, forgetting that all we have is of the Lords, and we are the stewards of all that God has entrusted to us.

Forgetting that God says “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for what so ever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” Gal. 6:7. The church in America is about to receive a rude awakening. Compared to the persecuted church in some of the eastern countries, as we hear their testimonies, we fall far short. They believe that God is sending this persecution for their blessing, to share in Christ’s sufferings. “ That I might know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death.” Phil. 3:10. Judgment is coming to the church and our nation, but to the church first, to purify and cleanse, that we might be holy without spot or wrinkle.

I have been reading Nita Robinson’s book “Prepare for Winds of Change” for the third & fourth time. Anyone that is interested to know where we are in these last days, according to God’s time table, reading it is a must. She has had many visitations with angels and Christ Himself, from her youth on, and God has told her again and again to tell the church to prepare for winds of change. Judgement is coming to the church and the unsaved. At one point in a vision in 1990 the Lord said to her, “It is five minutes to midnight, and judgment begins at midnight. 

After reading this, the scripture Amos 3:7 came to my mind “Surly the Lord God will do nothing, but He reveals His secrets unto his servants the prophets.” Now I realized that this book of Nita’s was certainly telling the church that judgment is coming, but I was puzzled by the Five Minutes to Midnight. I knew it was close but how long is five minutes in God’s time table. My mind went back to 2 Peter 3:8 “Beloved be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” I believe the Lord directed my thoughts to think that if one thousand of our years was one year to Him, then five minutes can be but only a few years. (How many no one knows but God)

The Lord told Nita in 1990 that it was five minutes to midnight and that judgment would begin at midnight. Where does it put us in our time? 1990 + 15 = 2005 as of now. Judgement begins before we enter the New Millennium. We are now 2005 and if the New millennium begins in 2030, that gives us approximately 20 yrs. to repent, ( there is a 31/2 yr. trib. period before the one thousand yr.) turn to the Lord, and die to the self life, and live for the Lord, so as to reign and rule with Him in His kingdom. Rev. 2:26&27. And he that over comes and keeps My works unto the end, to him (overcomer) will I give power over the nations; And he (overcomer) shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I received of my Father. As I pointed out earlier that our third millennium does not start till 2030, that leaves five yrs. Of which three and one half are the great Tribulation. There is much that is going to take place in those five years. It is during this time that the manifested sons of God are going to be revealed that all creation is longing for. In the end Satan will be bound and thrown into the pit where he will stay for a thousand years. It is during this thousand years that the Temple (Body of Christ) will be restored through the five fold ministry. Read Isaiah 60: 1-7 which is the story of the last days of this millennium and the entering of the church into the third millennium.
