Jesus’ Words in Red Before His Departure Is It the End Yet?

Jesus’ Words in Red Before His Departure 

Is It the End Yet?

"It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

The disciples asked for times and dates

And Jesus told them what time it was

“…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

 and you will be my witnesses

The Bible prophecies and the coming of Jesus’ Kingdom are waiting

Waiting for us to wait for the Power of the Holy Spirit

Fully baptized in the Holy Spirit

That we might be His witnesses revealing the manifold wisdom of God

Standing firm doing exploits 

A “Radiant, Glorious, Church” Full of Power

That is what Jesus is waiting for and coming for

Is that you?

Jesus’ Words in Red Before His Departure

Is It the End Yet?

The other day a lady told me she was

going back to church and going to

marry the father of her three children.

Why?  Because she believes we are in the last

days and she wants to become right with God.

Jesus is giving His final words

before His ascension to Heaven.

Final words are to be the most important words.

Jesus is telling them to get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

To get the power to be world impacting witnesses.

But the disciples asked a curve ball question…

 "Lord, are you at this time going

to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

We cannot be sure if the disciples were

asking about the Nation of Israel being

restored to a time like the reign of David. 

Or, is it time that Jesus will bring

His heavenly kingdom on earth.

Either way, Jesus was telling them the

timing of things is not what is important.

What is important is…

“…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,

and in all Judea and Samaria,

and to the ends of the earth."

 

Jesus was not saying you could

not understand Bible prophesy.

He was not saying as the timing of things

unfold you would not recognize them.

Look at what is recorded in the Book of Daniel…

Daniel 11:31-35

31 And armed forces of his shall appear [in the holy land] and they shall pollute the sanctuary, the [spiritual] stronghold, and shall take away the continual [daily burnt offering]; and they shall set up [in the sanctuary] the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate [probably an altar to a pagan god].

32 And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]…

35 And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test] to refine, to purify, and to make those among [God's people] white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time [God] appointed. AMP

Daniel 12:4

4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great. [Amos 8:12.]  AMP

The prophecy of Daniel was to be…

seal the Book until the time of the end.

In the end the understanding of

Daniel’s prophecy will be unsealed.

When the time of…

 “the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate”

Takes place there will be those…

 “people who know their God shall prove themselves

strong and shall stand firm and do exploits.”

Jesus was not telling His disciples they

would not know the times of Bible prophecy.

He was telling them to focus on

receiving the power of the Holy Spirit.

We may be living in the times

of Bible prophecy fulfillment.

We may recognize the times but knowledge and

revelation of those things is not as important as…

“…receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witnesses…”

Remember Daniel 12:32 says…

“people who know their God shall prove themselves

strong and shall stand firm and do exploits”

When Jesus comes back, the Bible tells

us only one thing He is coming back for…

 “to present her to himself as a radiant church,

without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,

but holy and blameless.”

Ephesians 5:27-28 NIV

He is coming back for a “Radiant Church”.

The Apostle Paul, God’s Church is to reveal…

 “the manifold wisdom of God”

To Authorities…

 “according to his eternal purpose”

7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church , the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 3:7-11 NIV

Paul says…

 “I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of

God's grace given me through the working of his power.”

YES!!! Greater abominations will and are coming.

Don’t worry or concern yourself by that revelation.

Get the Power of the Holy Spirit…

So you will be able to do exploits and reveal

the manifold Wisdom of God in that day. 

Be a part of what Jesus is coming back for…

A “Radiant, Glorious, Church” full of power.

That is the coming of His Kingdom.

Scripture Reading

Acts 1:1-8 NIV

1:1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." 

6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
