Well, listen. How can you tell if we are living in the last days?
You say, well, Pastor, what’s the last days?
Well, the last days, listen, the the terminology the last days or, uh, the end of time or the the last of, uh, the age is referred from old to new testament in the Bible.
Uh, and God tells us how to recognize indicators of the last days.
Now I know many people at this moment might be thinking, I don’t wanna hear anything about this.
But yet we’ve seen an incredible shift in the the idea of of people, uh, and the openness of people wanting to know what truth is.
So in a moment we’re gonna dive into Luke chapter 21, which by the way, Luke 21 is Jesus speaking about future events that are going to be fulfilled.
But why would we look at them?
Because we’re starting to see this set up for these events to come to pass.
How should that translate into your life? To be absolutely ready to meet Jesus. And so, listen to this.
If you pull up, you you’re going down a street and the lights begin to blink and the bell begins to chime at a railroad crossing.
You don’t see a train. You don’t see a train. You see red lights.
You see the gate coming down. The bells are ringing.
But you could say, I don’t see a train. You would be a fool to cross the track.
There’s warnings there that are saying, you better stop and look around cause something’s about to come.
And all of a sudden, that train comes by at 80 miles an hour.
Boy, are you glad that you paid attention. I pray that you pay attention.
Because listen, as it were, the Lord’s coming and there’s enough indicators going off right now that it should not catch you by surprise.
Everyone should be tuning in. Believer and unbeliever alike. Let’s dive into the Bible. Let’s see what happens.
In Luke 2120 the Bible says, Jesus said, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies Then know that its desolation is near then let those who are in judea flee To the mountains Notice, judea.
Watch everybody. Jesus is saying when you see jerusalem surrounded, then that those who are in judea.
Do you listen do you do you live in jerusalem? No. No. Do you live in judea? No. No.
You do not. Flee to the mountains.
Let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.
For these are the days of vengeance. The word vengeance is another word for indignation or wrath.
This is the wrath of almighty God. This is the second coming stuff.
This is nearing the end of the tribulation period, people. This is not now.
You’re not gonna experience this, but just listen to what’s being said.
‘That all things which are written may be fulfilled.’ Verse 23, ‘But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days.’ Why?
You would say, how come? That’s weird. Why?
For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people, an unbelieving people, an unbelieving world.
And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles.
That’s an amazing statement. It’s a near and far fulfillment.
Number 1, Jerusalem was surrounded in 70 AD, the temple was destroyed by the 5th Roman legion, and the Jews did flee to the uttermost parts of all the world.
That did happen, but it’s gonna repeat in a much fast paced scale during the tribulation period.
Israel, we’re talking about. Verse 25.
And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth, distress of nations with perplexity.
The word perplexity means no way out of a confrontation. There’s just no way out.
We’re going we’re going to war. We’ve exhausted every possible out, and it’s gonna happen.
There’s nowhere to go. Nations will be held in perplexity.
You say, jacked up, but that’s in the future. Right? Yeah. It is in the future.
But can you see the stage being set?
Lying, deception, cheating, manipulation, power.
When somebody says, Do this, and it involves nations, and 1, 000, 000, 000 and 1, 000, 000, 000 of dollars in people’s lives.
Wow. And the sea and the waves roaring. Men’s hearts failing them for fear.
And the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
That’s what the bible says.
I pray that all of you in this room, listen, Luke 2136 says, pray that you’ll escape all of these things mentioned here and stand before the son of man.
You don’t have to go through this stuff. Isn’t that amazing? But you need to trust in Jesus.
You need to follow Christ. Arriving now is the fact, and I’ll just go quickly on this, is interpersonal divisions between 1 another.
So what do you mean about that?
Matthew chapter 10 verse 21 tells us that in the time of the end, brother will deliver up brother to death and father his child, and children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
You know what?
Up until recent times, I thought, man, I mean, I know the Bible says that that’s true.
That’s gonna happen, but man, that’s weird, isn’t it? But you know what?
You think back to the days of Adolf Hitler, and people were turning 1 another in. Nazis.
You say, I’m glad we don’t live in that time.
Do you realize that if somebody would have said, If you know somebody that’s not vaccinated, you better turn them in.
We were that far away from it. Unhinged lawlessness and violence in the world.
I don’t need to elaborate on that.
Jesus said in Matthew 24:12, again speaking about the future, he said, in the future, because of lawlessness abounding, the love of many will grow cold.
In other words, man will not love fellow man, and there’s gonna be a lot of violence.
Next, systematic assault against the nature of God.
1 after another, most of everything that you and I are dealing with in our world right now is a systematic attack against the nature of God.
Genesis 1, verse 24, Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to its kind.’ Kind, Hello?
Kind. Do you know what a kind is? It’s a species.
Let things reproduce according to its species. Who said that? God. God said that.
Do people believe that? Yeah. Can a man be pregnant? Yeah.
Well, it depends on who you if you go to USC, UCLA, they can.
God said nope. God says they’re species.
That’s it. That was angel Gabriel chiming in. Watch this.
Cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth according to its kind.
Notice cattle and creeping things according to their kind, There’s no creeping things in cattle getting together.
Cattle, cattle, creepy, creepy. Okay?
And it was so, verse 25, And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, each beast its species.
So God created man in his own image. In his image he created him male and female.
God said male, female. God said male, female. God said. Well I don’t believe that. God said.
I don’t like that. God said. I can’t take this. God said. God said it.
But if you don’t believe in God, you see? Then the Bible already anticipated that, too.
Because the Bible says when we don’t believe in God, every man does what’s right in his own eyes.
It’s dog eat dog world. And what you have, and if I like it, I’m gonna take it from you, because I’ve got bigger guns, or I’m bigger than you are, and that’s just the way it is.
Survival of the fittest. Tough. Norman Geissler said, in the mind, when God dies in a person’s mind, man dies.
That’s a brilliant statement. But, if there is no God, then you can have 100 genders, because you can make it up.
Male and female, he created them.
Then God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply.’ I think you know what that means.
Fill the earth and subdue it.
Have dominion over the fish and of the sea and the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
In 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, the Bible says, now the spirits expressly says that in the last days, the latter times, these days, some will depart from the faith.
Are you watching that happen? I am. Giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. That’s it.
Your kids are being taught deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons are infiltrating your kids’ theology, mind, and thought process.
You think, listen, you think that doctrines of demons comes from rogue pulpits? That’s the obvious.
Satan’s too smart for that. Hasn’t Satan always gone for the children first?
And he’s doing it again. It’s another way how we know we’re in the last days.
Kids are safe nowhere.
The most dangerous, dangerous place to be for a kid is in America these days.
If they survive the womb, the system will get them in the class.
Moral depravity. So hang with me people.
For the wrath of God is revealed. The Greek word is this.
The wrath of God is constantly, presently being revealed. It’s like rain falling. It’s happening now.
It will only increase. From heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress, hold down, sequester the truth in unrighteousness.
That means they’ll do anything to hide the truth.
‘Because what may be known of God is manifest in them.
There’s an internal witness that God is real, that they hold that down.
‘For God has shown it to them.
‘For since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even as eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
If anybody tells you that they’re an atheist, they’re insulting themselves and you.
Because down deep inside, they know better.
Because although they knew God, they did not him as God, nor were they thankful, but became futile in their thoughts.
Futile, deranged in their thinking. Do we live in an age of deranged thinking?
And their foolish hearts were darkened.
People are in position of power, people are in authority, and people are teaching our kids in places of power, and their hearts have been darkened and they’ve become foolish because of their futile way of thinking.
Professing to be wise, isn’t that what they say constantly? You need to listen to me.
I’m the expert. We all learn that experts, that term now means nothing anymore.
If somebody says, I’m an expert, just go away. Seriously, I don’t wanna hear about it. I’m an expert.
I’m in the field of don’t wanna hear it. I’m done with that word.
Professing to be wise, they became fools. Why?
They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the image birds, 4 footed things, creepy things.
Did you get that? Satan just read it backwards and gave it to Chuck Darwin.
Therefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness, and the lust of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.
Can I remind you this is a 2, 000 year old document?
Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever, amen.
For this reason, God gave them up.
Just dust, he just got rid of them like Lent.
He gave them up, gave them up to their vile passions.
Think about that statement for a moment.
When somebody goes erotic, if if they don’t control themselves, ask Ted Bundy.
Well, you can’t now, but Ted Bundy said he started out.
He started out looking at his mom’s underwear catalog, and he went through every form of pornography, then every form of prostitution, and then every form of sexuality, and none of it eventually could get him excited until he was murdering somebody during the act.
Ted Bundy. You should watch the interview with doctor James Dobson and Ted Bundy.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
In other words, women exchanged the use of a man and went after women.
Likewise also men, leaving the natural use of a woman, burned in their lust for 1 another, men with men committing what is shameful, watch this, and receiving in themselves the penalty of the error which was due.
That’s an amazing statement. Inside of themselves, which is fascinating, the female doesn’t receive female protein in the lesbian act, but the male receives male protein, and that male protein within the male, immediately, the receiver’s immune system goes on high alert.
I mean, It just goes into full battle array. Form protein, attack, attack.
That’s why people who practice homosexuality have such short lifespans, is because on the male side, is because they predominantly die of colds and flus eventually, because they have no more immune system, because their body fought their whole time together other male proteins.
By the way, doctor c Everett Coop wrote in his findings when he was surgeon general of the United States, I believe helped me out under Reagan maybe.
Doctor. C. Everett Coop said, ladies, listen up.
Girls, if you receive protein from a male, it stays in your metabolism, in your body, for 7 years. 1 sex partner, 1 night stand, 7 year deposit inside of you, working through your immune system what if it happens twice a year 2 different people you’re killing yourself you’ll die For even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to today based mind.
That’s an amazing statement. I don’t wanna think about God.
So God says, okay then you won’t think about me anymore.
I wanna remind you and encourage you that the remnant of true believers will make it until Christ returns.
He will see to it that you and I make it through.
So I wanna leave you with this, people.
Now when you see these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.
Wait for his son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly wait for the savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you’ll have no need that I should write unto you for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You believe in God, believe also in me, for in my father’s house are many mansions, and if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have died, lest you sorrows those who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who died in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up, that’s the word rapture in Latin, together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore, comfort 1 another with these words.
And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man.
Now, this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery.
We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the at the last trumpet, for the trumpet will sound.
The dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed for this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and savior, Jesus Christ, and all God’s people said, amen.
So listen, a very dear friend of mine who’s now in glory, Doctor.
Ed Hindson of Liberty University. If you can buy or read anything by doctor Ed Hindson, do it.
Doctor Hindson used to say God did not give us Bible prophecy to scare us.
He gave us Bible prophecy to prepare us. And I want to encourage you right now.
You may be a little bit, um, shaken by world events. Well I want you to know something.
Because God has told us these things in advance, it’s to bring comfort to us. It’s to prepare us.
Listen, I live in Southern California and this program is coming to you from Southern California.
Nobody living in Southern California, uh, is ever far off from thinking about earthquakes.
There’s just a tendency where we live that you expect the ground to move on somewhat of a regular basis.
It’s not always, uh, epic, but it’s constantly shifting about. Most often, you don’t even notice it.
But then there’s times when things get a little active, and and your your antenna, as it were, uh, perks up.
Um, that’s how it ought to be for the believer.
Things have always been kind of shifting and changing and moving about, but lately there’s been quite a bit of tremors.
That shouldn’t freak you out.
It should mean that you translate that reality into, as it were, buckling things down, checking the windows, making sure the water heater is is bolted down, uh, making sure that we’ve got water, uh, that we’ll be able to to take care of of ourselves for a while in the event of an earthquake.
Well, listen. God is sending us tremors in the world around us, and you and I are to be ready.
So be encouraged. God has not abandoned you at times like this. The exact opposite is true.
God has given us everything needed to be prepared in the word of God. It’s an exciting time.
You should be looking for Jesus’ return and living your life in a way that affects other people until he does return for you.
So listen, for more, you can go to jackibbs.com. There’s a whole lot more teaching there.
