Dear Poured Out Followers of Messiah Jesus,
I am so very thankful for this opportunity to share this awareness raising letter with you. Truly, you will hear things in this letter that is vital information for those who will trust in our Savior Jesus and Him alone in this critical hour of human history. First, I begin by reminding us—I also need to be reminded!
It is no accident that these prophetic signs are leaping off the pages of the Bible at the same time: global ethnic violence, famines, diseases, earthquakes—along with Israel in Bible prophecy, and such bizarre evils and troubles not seen since the days of Noah and Lot. Our Savior spoke clearly of these things in the gospel accounts of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
As a matter of fact just after speaking of the four birth pains I just mentioned—global violence, famine, diseases, earthquakes—our Savior speaks of something I will spend some time on in this letter. He tells us these things point to a designated time of trouble such as the world has never seen. We now are living in the generation that is increasingly—almost racing—to that time!
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Matthew 24:7-9
For many Biblically prophetic reasons we know we are not in that time called the seven-year tribulation. One is that according to Matthew 24:9 all nations will hate disciples of Christ Jesus. It will be globally illegal to believe in Messiah Jesus. But even now, there are Christian leaders in many nations including America. That certainly will not be the case during the tribulation.
What we do know is that, along with the other signs surging in our time, we are now in the time of the birth pains. I would like to share a few more things about this time including the passage below directly quoting our Lord Jesus Christ:
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21
According to these prophetic gospel chapters mentioned, and much of the Bible including the prophets and Revelation, a big part of this tribulation period involves Biblical wars that will shake the earth and literally kill billions of people. There is a term I pray you remember. It may be one you have heard before—maybe not—but regardless watch and pray as you remember these words:
THE WINDS OF WAR
The winds of war are blowing right now just like they did before World War One and similarly as the world staggered like a drunkard into World War Two. The initial wars on the doorstep of this world will seem like the cataclysmic wars of Revelation—but will just be the beginning and will set the stage for the man of sin also called the Anti-Christ.
Also know that nothing can stop these prophetic events from taking place in this generation as our Lord Jesus has not only already seen them in the future—He has ordained them in the future! These Biblical winds of war are clearly identifiable by Israel in Bible prophecy and the increasing global hatred of Jews. Remember, Israel is the Lord’s fig tree.
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Matthew 24:32-25
So what can a disciple of Christ Jesus do in this fig tree generation? Be the faithful, wise, blessed servant who is watching for the Master to return to take him back to that place of preparation at the Father’s house (THE RAPTURE) and give others the Bread of Life Messiah Jesus! And, watch and pray with other faithful, wise, blessed servant disciples of Messiah Jesus!
"Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.” Matthew 24:42-47
Another thing you can do is to lay your treasures up in heaven—prayerfully and financially supporting ministries who are making faithful, wise, blessed servant disciples in Messiah Jesus. That is exactly our mission with Watch Therefore Ministries and our missions to the nations—Poured Out For The Nations.
Please pray for these ministry opportunities and commitments: Watch Therefore TV on many Christian networks, monthly African ministries support, (Kenya, Rwanda, DR Congo), upcoming June India mission trip, and much more!
