HEY GOP!
I hope that you didn't miss this week's AWESOME service by Pastor Mark. His message was titled, THE LAST CALL, our third and last service of the theme, final destination, the series of services about the end times.
Pastor Mark begun by sharing about the
two witnesses [Revelation 11:1-3]. In these verses, it is stated that after the rapture, two witnesses will rise up for God and torment the others on earth by telling them the truth about Jesus Christ! Anyone who would try to harm them would be struck down by fire.
But the beast from hell would be released and it would kill the two witnesses at the very place that Jesus died. Their bodies will be laid unburied and mocked by everyone, BUT HOPE IS NOT LOST! The two witnesses would revive from the dead after three and a half days and God will call them to heaven just like Enoch and Elijah.
Pastor Mark then talked about
Jesus' second coming [Revelation 19:11-16, Jude 14-15]. Jesus will come down with an army of saints (THAT'S US) on white horses. [Zechariah 14:3-14] Jesus would step down on the mount of olives and SPLIT IT IN TWO!
Pastor Mark also continued by talking about
the Battle of Armageddon [Revelation 16:12-16] which is another word for the GREAT battle between Jesus and Satan. It would be the largest battle ever fought with all sorts of weapons. But fear not, because the battle has already been won [Revelation 19:20]. jesus would throw the devil down into the bottomless pit for deluding everyone and an angel would lock him up.
Finally, Pastor Mark talked about the
Millenium [Revelation 20:4] where Christ will rule for 1,000 years! [Matthew 19:28] He will sit on the the thrown and those who had died during the tribulation and did not possess THE MARK will be brought to life!
Pastor Mark had added a sharing on hell.
[Mark 9:43-48, Matthew 15:41, Matthew 13:40-42, Luke 16:23 and 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9]
It is a place of conscious suffering, torment and punishment! Imagine being burned by flames yet never being able to die. It was a place prepared by God for the devil and not for humans but sin was introduced.
The role of Israel would be to be the witnesses of Jesus Christ [Luke 21:20-26] where they would start to recognise the signs and then stand up for God!
Hear are some signs of Jesus' coming.
1) The sign of the fig tree [Matthew 24:32-34]
The reforming of Israel after destruction in 60AD. Israel was reformed in 1948! It was also stated that the generation of Israel that was reformed WILL witness the coming in their generation. If a generation is 78-80 years, the second coming might happen anytime from 2018-2028, though delays DO happen.
2) The sign of creation week
God spent 6 days creating earth and took a break for 1 day. If the time from Adam to Abraham was 2000 years and from Abraham to Jesus was 2000 years and from Jesus to Us be 2000 years, that would have been 6000 years in total. In the bible, it is said that 1 to God seems like 1000 days to us. If God worked for 6 days, what are the chances that He might let Jesus rule for the next 1000 years!
So GOPers, do not treat all that we've learnt these past weeks as some other information learnt during history lesson. TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Have we completed our purpose here on earth? Have we reached our destiny? Do we want to see our friends in hell?? If you've answered no to any of them, THEN IT'S TIME TO BUCK UP! Treat everyday like it would be your last, live a fruitful life and leave without regrets. Don't forget that everyone else will be by your side so don't give up and keep evangelising!
