Bible prophecy

  • Bible prophecy shows truth of Bible ( Isa 8:18 );

  • Some prophesies about Jesus in old testament- ( Ps 16:20-11; 22:16-18; 2:7; 2:12; 89:20-27; 41:9; 45:6; 78:2-4; 69:8; 109:4; 22:1; 22:18; 49:15; Micah 5:2; Isaiah 16:5; 11:2; 9:6-7; 7:14; 61:1; 53:4-5; 35; 50:6; 53:12;7; Jeremiah 31:31-36; Zech 9:9; 12:10; 11:12-13; Dan 9:25-26; Gen 3:15 );

  • Israel alone prophesies- Israel born one day ( Isa 66:8 ), May 14, 1948; Jews regathered ( Isa 11:11-12; Ezek 37:21-22; 38:8; Lk 21:29-31 ); Jews would come from all area North, etc ( Isa 43:5-6; Jer 31:7-10 ), over 100,000 Ethiopian Jews emigrated from south ( Zep 3:10 ); Israel became wasteland during dispersion ( Deut 29:23-28; Ezek 36:8-11 ); Israel blossom, export produce, export over 1200 million dollars of fresh produce, flowers ( Isa 27:6 35:1-2; Ezek 36:34-36 ); Israel prosper economically, over 54 million dollars worth of goods, in 2010 ( Ezek 38:12-13 ); Israel plant vineyards ( Joel 3:18 ); Cedar, acacia, myrtle, oil, cypress, pine, forest trees planted by Israel ( Isa 41:18-20 ); Surrounding nations would be united against Israel; Muslims sworn of Israel’s destruction; Muhammad said ” The hour ( last day ), will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say ‘ O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding beside me, so kill him”’ ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, vol 4, b. 52, Hadith # 177); ( Ps 83:4-8; Zech 12:2 ); Jerusalem rebuilt on its own ruins ( Jer 30:18; Zech 12:6 ); Jerusalem trampled by Gentiles, until times of Gentiles fulfilled; Gentiles trampled until Jews regained control in 1967 six day war; Anti-Semitism, history confirms this ( Deut 28:37; Jer 29:18; Lk 21:21-24 );

  • Specific cities prophesied ( Ezekiel 26:12- Tyres stones in water ); ( Isaiah 27:6- Israel fruit grown); ( Micah 3:11-12- Israel plowed like field )

  • ( Revelation- by chapter’s; Chaps 1-5- God’s mercy, and majesty; Chaps 6-11- God’s wrath, judgment; Chaps 12-13- Satan’s fierce but losing battle; Chaps 14-20- God’s complete victory over Satan; Chaps 21-22- all things new

  • ( Matt 24:36 ) “means” – No one knows the exact time of Jesus return

  • So on that note, God gives signs when we will be close, so us Christians have to read our word, so we can be aware of what to expect, and when to expect certain signs given in the Bible. ( Matt 16: 2-3 ) People in the world today can predict the weather, but they can’t tell the signs of the times cause there not connected with God and studying there word.

  • ( 2 Pet 2: 1-2 ) “means” False Bible teachers that will bring in heresies (adherence to a religious opinion contrary to Church dogma) This is present here in our world right now, men and woman teaching about a god, that’s not the Holy Bible 66 books old, new testament God. They will come like sheep in wolves clothing in other words giving as much as up to 95% of the truth, and the rest a twisted lie, which a slight twist in the truth is a lie. This reminds me of people on christian t.v., radio, Christian book store etc. You will know these people by there fruit, so what I do is I find out people I listen to faith statement, what does this person believe in, and what got me doing this is T.D. Jakes. I found out his trinity belief was not the one one the Bible, his was ( and I say was cause he supposedly no longer believes this ) modalism – which means – a particular form; variety, of something, meaning one God three displays; for example ( o “father” ) ( @ Son ) ( * Holy spirit )  THIS IS A TWISTED LIE. The Truth is there is one God, THREE PERSONS all the SAME, all equal, so for example the same ( @ Father ) ( @ Son ) ( @ Holy Spirit ) This is the truth ( Matt 28:19 ), now T.D. Jakes believes the truth he says, but for this reason, I try to find out peoples faith statement to find out if they believe the essentials of the christian faith, so find out the people your learning from faith beliefs, and go from there. Now some would say what if they say they believe this but really don’t, we’ll I can’t control if there saying one thing but doing something else, when and if this happens, just TRUST the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, to led you to the truth about that person.

  • Global communications foreseen ” the entire world will see” ( Rev 11: 9-10 ) “means” the invention of television, t.v. on phones, t.v. on computers, and global satellites networks allows news to travel at the speed of light, where as in apostle John’s day, news traveled at the speed of horseback, now everyone can witness those two dead bodies, while sitting in a store, cause that’s where t.v.’s are these days.

  • This bible prophecy was not possible just 50 years ago, as technology wasn’t where it is today. A lot of Pastors and, teachers in the early 1990’s, wondered how this prophecy was going to be fulfilled, with the tools they had then, But today, thanks to computers, satellite, phones etc, we are now seeing how scripture is once again being fulfilled.

  • ( Matt  24:14 ) “means” the Bible has been translated into over 2400 languages covering 90% of  the worlds population. This verse inspired me to start a ministry to help with spreading the gospel, across this country, nation, world.

  • ( Dan 12:4 ) “means” many will go to and fro to increase knowledge, you can’t go to a airport without it being over crowded,  train stations, bus stations,cars, people, businesses, etc the world is always in such a rush. Us humans want instant gratification, no one wants to wait, and once again knowledge and ideas are growing everyday. These is the kind of grid lock, to and fro that Daniel was referring to. As busy as we are with family, jobs, sports, kids, sinning, we need to slow down, repent, and make time for the Lord, by more prayer, and reading our Bible which is God’s thoughts and what he wants us to know in this life. How do you expect to hear God’s voice when you’re busy tuned in to what the world has to say.

  • ( Ezek 38:1-6 )” means”- war of Gog, Magog; Gog is not a personal name, It’s a title Mayor, or Chief; He is the leader over a territory called Magog. the magogites( people of Magog ) also called sithieans by the Greeks are the people who settled north of the black and Caspian seas; in what is now call Russia; So Gog is a Russian dictator, in other words someone who’s going to oversee Russia as they form an alliance with Iran along with a few other middle-eastern countries to attack Israel in the last days[ God will preserve Israel in this attack ], so Russia is the Magog in this scripture, and Iran was just changed from Persia to Iran in the early 1900’s.

  • ( Gomer )- Turkey; ( Magog )- Russia; ( Persia )- Iran;  Libya

  • ( Matt 24: 32-33 ) 32- Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33- So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. “means” The fig tree in scripture speaks of nation Israel, so in other words when we see these things start to happen that it talks about in the Bible, know that the end is near. You can’t do that if you don’t read  your Bible

  • ( Matt 21: 18-22 )”means”- Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? This was not a meaningless act, Jesus just didn’t get mad for nothing; this parable, Jesus was showing His anger at religion. Just as the fig tree looked good from a distance, but was fruitless on close examination, so the temple looked impressive at first glance, but its sacrifices and other activities were fruitless, because they were not done to worship God sincerely.

  • Fig trees a popular source of inexpensive food in Israel. it requires three years from the time they are planted until they can bear fruit. Each tree yields a great amount of fruit twice a year, in late spring and in early autumn. This incident occurred early in the spring. Fig season when the leaves were beginning to bud, the figs normally grow as the leaves fill out, but this tree, though fill of leaves, had none. Jesus words applied to the nation of Israel. fruitful in appearance only.

  • ( Matt 21:43 )”means” given to people who will produce fruit……….if you only appear to have faith without putting it to work in your life, you are like the fig tree that withered and died, because it bore no fruit. Genuine faith means bearing fruit for God’s kingdom.

  • If you want to know what time it is on God’s timeline for Jesus return; follow Israel

  • Temple being rebuilt– there are many scriptures in the Bible concerning future prophecy that regard nation of Israel. We realize that the temple must be rebuilt, in order for these prophecies to be fulfilled. Jesus, Paul, John, Daniel all make reference to it. ( Rev 11:1-2 ); ( Mk 13:14 ); ( Matt 24:15 );

  • ( Dan 9:27 )”means”- why is the temple so important, because it is important to God.

  • ( 2 Thess 2:4 )”means”- anti-christ will let the temple be built to blasphemy God.

  • They are preparing to build the temple as we speak

  • The anti-christ will allow the temple to be rebuilt

  • Epicenter I’ve mentioned this before but, Israel is in the center of the world; Jerusalem is in the center of Israel; and the temple is in the center of Jerusalem, so in the ancients mind, found in Jewish literature, this is the spot that was the very epicenter of all civilization. Epicenter meaning- a focal point; as of activity ( Isa 19:24 )

  • Israel a nation again; talking about the second coming was pre-mature until Israel became a nation again, they became a nation again on May 14, 1948 ( Ezek 37: 21-22 )

  • The Rapture– followers of Christ, suddenly vanish-raptured ( caught up ) by God to heaven ( 1Thess 4: 15-17 ) ( 1 Cor 15;51-52 ). a false explanation will deceive the unsuspecting masses ( 2 Thess 2: 9-12 ). Today many apparitions, ET’s, channelers, are offering counterfeit explanation for this soon to take place event. Today’s lies are setting it up so that people will think aliens came and abducted humans instead of an rapture.

  • Epidemic drug use foreseen ( Rev 9:21 ). Like I mentioned before in another sermon, the Greek word translated sorcerers is” pharmakeia” which can also refer to drug use, both illegal drugs and mind-altering drugs. The use of illegal drugs and the dispensing of mind-altering drugs has risen sharply during our current generation. I believe sexual immorality, and drugs are the biggest strongholds the devil has on humans today.

  • Youth would become increasingly rebellious, disrespectful to parents, accepting sin as if it were o.k. ( 2 Tim 3:2-3 ); ( Mk 13:12 ) Youth have no reverence for their parents, how can they fear God. It’s sad but a lot of kids these days are fulfilling Bible prophecy by how they talk, act, and treat their parents.

  • Fallen angels would  interact with mankind/ aliens that indicate entities behave more like demons than space travelers, They transcend the law of physics, and deliver anti-christian messages. ( 1Tim 4:1 ); ( Lk 17:26 ) ; ( Gen 6: 1-4 ). I think secular movies, t.v. shows, secular music, gang activity, cults, occults, just to name a few,  are demonically influenced.

  • A man would control all banking and commerce ( Rev 13:16-18 )- this prophecy was penned 2000 years ago, before this computer technology, and debit, credit cards etc. In the early 1900’s no one could of dream about this happening, but in today’s world things for this prophecy is right in place to happen

  • Homosexuality would be flaunted at the end of age, Jesus warned that the last days would be like the days of lot- who lived in wicked Sodom ( Lk 17: 28-30 ). The root of Sodom’s sin was pride and complacency ( Ezek 16:49 ) Today  the homosexual sin is accepted from leadership in our country (U.S.A ) down. The Bible clearly states in scripture this is an abomination ( Lev 18:22 ); ( Rom 1: 24-27 ).

  • Sexual immorality rampant ( Jude 18 ); ( Rev 9:21 ); God knows all things, that’s why Jesus said whoever looks to lust has already committed adultery in his heart ( Matt 5:28 ), God exposes Internet porn, lustful movies, T.V. shows, magazines to fornication. Porn has made more money then movies and music in the past 15 years. Once again sexual immorality has become acceptable in these days, God’s word and truth has been rejected and sin is no big deal, as long as your not breaking the law, just because you can do it doesn’t make it o.k. in God’s eyes. There’s no gray area with God, no compromising sin

  • God will bring His people back to their land – ( Ezek 37: 21-22 )- 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all – KJV ); God allows prophetic events both bad, and good to happen, to fulfill scripture in His timeline; The Israelites resisted the will of God for them to return to ancient Israel; It took a severe event ( holocaust ) to send them home; That’s placed a part for them to realize, we have to take care of ourselves, they couldn’t depend on others to care for them, so they had to return home.

  • ( Zec 12 :2,3 )- I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem on that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves; the day is here that billions have there eyes on Jerusalem

  • ( Jer 49: 36 ) – E’-lam here refers to Iran now

  • ( Isa 17: 9 )- Damascus here refers to the capital of Syria, which is modern day Iraq

  • ( Isa 17:14; 49: 23-27 ) talks about the wickedness against Israel, and people will know that Israel is God’s people

  • ( Dan 2:21 ) – talks about how God changes times, and kings

  • Marriage forbidden by many ( 1 Tim 4:3 ) The Bible states that marriage is honorable among all ( Heb 13:4 ) Despite this, the Catholic Church forbids it’s 400,000 priests, 800,000 nuns and numerous bishops, cardinals, and monks from marrying. The Orthodox Church, as well as Hindus, Buddhists, and other religious groups also impose mandatory celibacy for certain orders

  • ( Lk 21:17 ); ( Rev 6:9-11; 20:4 ) – Jesus said Christians would be hated for His name sake; taking prayer, and Bibles out of schools; it has been said that in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, the worst behavior in schools were chewing bubble gum, and throwing spit balls; since they took prayer out of schools, we have shooting, violence, etc; Christians in other countries get martyred on a daily basis

  • ( 2 Tim 3:2 ); ( Rev 16:9,11,21 ) – Blasphemy would be common; back in the early 1900’s, Hollywood seldom used God’s name in vain; today I believe every or most film uses God’s name in vain with no reverence to Him

  • ( Matt 24:7 ); ( Rev 6:8 ) – Deadly diseases ( the Bible calls “pestilences” ) would be common; AIDS, SARS,bird flu, West nile, etc

  • ( Lk 21:11 );( Rev 6:5 ) – Famines would be common, according to United Nations, 925 million people were hungry in 2010

  • ( Lk 21:11 ) – there will be fearful sights; the greek word for fearful is phobetron ( the new testament is in Greek ) which is translated terror; 911, Boston Marathon, and the State Department between 1981, and 2009 says there were more than 75,000 international terrorist attacks

  • PRAYER; Father I thank you, for you being true, and wonderful , and I intercede for those who have been deceived by false teachings about your return, and those who are playing a part in these Bible prophecies, I pray in the name of Jesus for the strongholds of the enemy to be divorced , and for people to come to a Biblical repentance before your return. Father I pray for peoples spiritual welfare, they’re salvation, and I pray they will develop a zeal to want to seek your word and truth, in Jesus name I pray, Amen
