Will There Be a Delay in End Time Prophecies?

What of the ancient prophecies that were given thousands of years in the past? When will they come to pass? When will we know of our calling to him? Biblical signs are designed to draw people in to the kingdom of God and to our grand Messiah. They are not designed to promote the pomp of pastors and teachers. Biblical signs will get the attention of some and others will never respond or believe.

Far too many teachers use signs which are not true signs to elevate themselves.

Holy Spirit

Signs do not take the place of the Holy Spirit who is the primary change agent in these matters of the heart. The Holy Spirit is God in you. The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit are extraordinary spiritual gifts, often termed “charismatic gifts,” are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, increased faith, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, discernment of prophecy, the understanding of spirits, knowledge of diverse kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. As we grow in Christ we also grow in our gifts. True biblical signs can be very exciting indeed.

Signs

There are signs relating to almost every subject of the Bible:

There are numerous signs of the times we are in now. There are signs of The Lord’s coming, signs of the coming tribulation, signs of the veracity of the Bible itself, and of false prophets, teachers and deception. There are examples of erroneous signs, and signs of biblical truth. We see signs of the Antichrist arising and many signs of anti-Semitism and replacement theology in the world and the church.

They are all there if you honestly look for them, led by the Spirit. Signs are really for those who want to see! If you genuinely encounter the Spirit of God, He will firstly cause you to repent. If you really see the true signs, you will repent.

False Teachers

Signs presented as from the Lord, which fail, are in themselves a sign – a sign of a false teacher. These failed signs instead of causing repentance causes mocking, scoffing doubt, discouragement, disbelief and falling away!

Deuteronomy 18:21-22, You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

Jeremiah 23:30-32, “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’ 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the Lord.

Pray for wisdom to discern the signs of the times and prophecies to come. Great discernment is needed in these things, it’s no small issue!

Micah 3:6-7, “It shall be night to you and you shall have no vision, yes it shall be dark without divination (comprehension) and the sun shall go down on the false prophets…and the seers shall be put to shame…for there is no answer from the Lord.”

Jeremiah 14:14 “The Lord said to me, ‘The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I have not sent them…”

Signs and Israel

Isaiah 8:18 “…We are for signs and wonders in Israel, from the Lord.”

The greatest sign is Israel’s journey to salvation, and yet most can’t see it at all! They think it’s just the normal progression of history.

We are now, even within the next few weeks, at the point where signs for Israel are about to break and come into play. 1 Corinthians 1:22-24, “Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

Of course regular readers of prophecy know just how it will work out in the end:

Isaiah 66:19 “I will set a sign among them (Jews)…they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles.”

True Promised Land Denied

Funny things this: The world calls the Palestinian territories the “occupied territories.” But have a look at the verse below and see what God says!

Deuteronomy 1:8 “See I have set the land before you; go in and possess (occupy) the land which the Lord swore to your fathers – to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them.”

Other verses show that these areas to be occupied by Israel are in fact today’s so-called West Bank, Jordan Valley and surrounding areas.

So, Netanyahu promises to annex these very areas, and the world comes against it! And why wouldn’t they, the world is of the devil!

Fake News

Beware of disinformation and collusion alliances! These are the methods of the media to entrap you.

Bible teachers today, more than ever, need to be full of great truth. The secret key is to teach the full gospel as led by the Spirit. Hebrews 6:1-2, Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

If you do it will contain within it a powerful method of checking. It will show Israel is: ● Elected by God ● Rebelled against him ● Rejected him as king ● Regathered from the nations ● Repented of their national sins ● Finally come to God and Accepted.

Any doctrine that does not include all of the above bullet points, in that order is suspect!

Today many teachers stop short at “Rejected.” You can hear them and tell them a long way off. They make derogatory remarks about Israel and her fall and never have any good thing to say about what is coming for Israel. Their teaching will not bear witness in your heart. Obey that still small voice.

When the Jews come to spiritual life, it will be a great sign for the world and in fact for themselves also. After the rapture the Jews will see they were left behind and the veil will be lifted. It will be “Life from the dead!” Romans 11:15, “For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?”

Full Surrender

When you are fully surrendered to our great King and Lord, everything in your life’s doing goes through the cross and is approved by our enthroned King. When not, life is a hit and miss affair founded on all that is shifting and shaking, surrendered to your own pride!

►Psalm 82:5 “They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are unstable (moving).”

Proverbs 4:19 “The way of the wicked is like darkness, they do not know what makes them stumble.”

The Shaking

The great shaking is beginning. We see it as we look at the sudden deterioration of law and order, morality and political chaos in the world. World war is on the horizon. Will you be able to stand securely, if we are not snatched out of here before?

Will you be able to help others see and stand in these last days?

There Will Be No Delay

Ezekiel 21:22-27, The word of the Lord came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’? 23 Say to them, ‘this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled. 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’

28 “Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

Conclusion

What does scripture say about The Man of Lawlessness?

2 Thessalonians 2, “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as first fruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, brothers and sisters stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
