This
is the Forward to the Book I have written
Entitled
“The Time Of The End,”
A
title taken from the Book of Daniel.
I
have written this book to help Christians and interested persons
Understand
what the Scriptures teach about “The Time Of The END”.
Christ
Jesus gave us The Book Of Revelation and all of Scripture,
So
that we could understand what He wanted us to know
About
The Time Of The END.
He
said about the Book of Revelation:
'Blessed
is the one who reads the words of this prophecy,
And
blessed are those who hear it
And
take to heart what is written in it,
Because
the time is near.'
(Revelation
1:3)
Christ
Jesus also said that the Holy Spirit will tell us what is yet to
come.
(John
16:13)
The
Book of Revelation is the primary book
Describing
The Time Of The END.
However,
in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke Christ Jesus gives
The
Signs of the End of the Age.
In
these books He gives us the Beginning of Birth Pains,
And
the “Season,” “The Lesson from the Fig Tree,”
That
will immediately precede The Great Tribulation.
He
tells us that the Generation that is living in the time of this
“Season”
Will
not pass away until The Great Tribulation occurs.
Other
books of the New Testament give insight to The Time Of The END,
And
also, the Old Testament Prophets and the Psalms
Have
much to say about this subject;
Books
written hundreds of years before the birth of Christ Jesus.
The
fact of Israel's becoming a Nation again in 1948,
As
was foretold by Scripture, speaks for itself.
Once
one becomes aware of what God has to say through His Word,
About
The Time Of The END,
We
are better able to interpret
The
time we are living in, in relationship to it.
This
book is a journey
Through
what God has to say about The Time Of The END.
I
give my interpretation as to what I believe it means.
However,
the pertinent Scriptures are quoted
So
the reader can make their own interpretation.
God
clearly wants His people to be prepared
For
The Time Of The END.
Christ
Jesus said about this:
No
one knows about that day or hour,
Not
even the angels in heaven,
Nor
the Son, but only the Father.
BE
ON GUARD! BE ALERT!
You
do not know when the time will come.
It's
like a man going away:
He
leaves his house in charge of his servants,
Each
with his assigned task,
And
tells the one at the door to keep watch.
THEREFORE
KEEP WATCH
Because
you do not know
When
the owner of the house will come back--
Whether
in the evening or at midnight,
Or
when the rooster crows, or at dawn.
IF
HE COMES SUDDENLY
Do
not let him find you sleeping.
What
I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'
(Mark
13:32-37)
It
is plain from what Christ Jesus said,
That
we are to actively anticipate His return,
And
the “Season” that precedes it.
To
do this we must understand
All
that He had to say on the subject.
It
is also clear from reading the Scriptures
Concerning
The Time Of The END,
That
many, who name His name,
Are
not ready for His return
And
are caught unprepared, to their great harm.
It
is my prayer, that you I are prepared,
Ready,
alert, on guard and watching,
As
Christ Jesus teaches us to be.
