Matthew 24

Much about the end of days is mentioned in Matthew 24.  In this passage we find Messiah's prophecy of the end of days, in some detail.  Although many of us are seeing the beginning of these prophecies being fulfilled, there is still much to be fulfilled before Messiah's return after the tribulation as stated in verse 29.  If this is a chronology of end time events, we must hold fast to Messiah, the one true Messiah, because there will be many false claims of a Christ.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  Matthew 24:6-8

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)  Matthew 24:15

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  Matthew 24:29-30

I'm certainly not suggesting any slackening in our service in saying it may still be awhile, quite the contrary.  Now is the time we must become even more diligent, knowing the times.  We must remain in Him and endure until the end.  24:12  . . .tells us because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  24:13
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.  24:44

Big Changes are Coming

As these end of days continue to unfold, there is a warning.  The specific embodiment of the head of the beastly government will appear to be, the Messiah.  As a matter of fact, Scripture says, he'll do wonders and perform miracles.  The false prophet will appear to be a Biblical prophet like Elijah and John the Baptist.  Abba has not, yet revealed to me; if they will actually be dressed in what we would perceive to be Biblical attire, but their presence will be very similar, yet OFF.  The difference will seem marginal and for most, explained away and compromised, to be embraced.

As many are proclaiming Messiah's return, and He is coming, but it's not as near as many think.  I'm only going to scratch the surface, here.  First, He said there would be tribulation such as the world has never known.  We're not there yet!  Second, the prophesied third temple has not yet been built.  Third, He said He's returning for a glorious ekklesia, i.e. gathering that is holy without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.  Again, we're not there yet.  I'm guessing it will take a greater intensity of the first point, to bring together the third point.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true Elohim, and Y'hshuwah ha Moshiach, whom thou hast sent.  John 17:3
