Time is totally a design by the ultimate Designer, God.
He started it.
He's the Alpha.
He's the Omega.
He's the ending.
He's with the last.
He's about to wrap things up.
He's finishing it.
Time is a reflection of God.
It's simply a teaching tool.
It's a classroom established by the Divine Designer,
to Help Us Grow.
And there's going to be a time when time stops and we cannot fathom what that means.
Just like we can't fathom living outside this body in a new body, but we know that's going to happen.
We can't fathom eternity, but we know that's going to happen.
We can't fathom timeless existence, but if Scripture be true {and there's no alternative reality that's more true} there's no escape.
From Scripture, there's no running away into the void of blackness and darkness and nothingness.
So, since we embrace the God of the Bible, we thus must believe that He is the Author of time, the Sustainer of time, and He's the Finisher of time.
Let's read it.
Time no more.
So some people believe and they sense in their spirit and they know in their head and they look at the news and they generally comprehend
We're getting closer to the end.
We're not getting closer to the beginning, and we're definitely not standing still.
Time no more.
I thought that was the phrasing.
I could be wrong.
There it is.
“Time no longer.”
Here it is.
Revelation 10:6.
This is when time stops, like entirely.
“And the angel,”
Let's back it up a little bit.
Cried with a loud voice.
Wow, here we go.
“I saw a mighty angel come down from heaven.”
We're going to see all this stuff, really three-dimensional, full screen, immersive experience, full tingle, our whole body, smelling, sensing, feeling, tasting, touching, knowing all of this.
From a new perspective, in the Spirit, we will know, even as we are known, we will know Him and we will know all of this in bright, 4D, sixth sense.
We'll be able to experientially, unexplainably
See more than what John saw about the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Here it is, chapter 10.
“And I saw,” imagine, close your eyes, “another mighty angel.”
Whatever you think a mighty angel looks like, I think something huge, something bright, a messenger of service, an angel.
“Come down from heaven clothed with a cloud.”
What you wearing today?
I got a cloud.
Oh, cool.
“And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, kind of bright today, and his feet as pillars of fire.”
“And he had in his hand a little book open, and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth.”
Now, some people believe this is Jesus.
Which, I don't know.
Bible says it's an angel.
“And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered, I was about to write,” I'm like, wow, that's awesome stuff.
I got to write it down.
That was amazing.
Seven thunders.
I got to remember all seven points.
Seven points & a poem.
The angel
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth.
So I'm about to write down what the angel cried, and then after that, what the seven thunders spoke with their voices, speaking words, and I'm about to write that down.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I grabbed my pen, my quill, my script, and I started to scribble.
“I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up.
those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not.”
Do not transmit that data.
Encrypt, delete, don't tell.
What?
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and swear by him that liveth for ever and ever who created heaven
And the things that are therein, and the earth created, and the things that are therein, and created the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.”
Brain cells explode.
Time no longer.
Then what?
Well, there's no then.
Because then is an indication of time.
Timeless.
Floating.
Freefall.
How do you speak if there's no time to speak into?
Weird.
Next verse, “but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,” days, plural, of the voice of the seventh angel, “when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished.”
He just said days when he begins to sound and then finished …
all in one sentence, “as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”
Prophets proclaim God's truth and God's vision.
Wow.
“And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
And I went unto the angel and said unto him, Give me the little book.
And he said unto me, Take it and eat it up.
It shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up.
And it was in my mouth sweet as honey.
And as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
He didn't say just everybody.
He wanted you to think about it.
Anyway, that wasn't even the chapter we're talking about, but in Revelation chapter six.
So what we're going to do, I'm going to read just the headlines because this morning was about prophecy, just the headline paragraph chunks.
We did a whole chapter there that was Revelation 10.
Now we're going to look at and summarize
Rev 6.
So you go to your Blue Letter Bible, you go to Revelation chapter 6, and you see the first seal is a rider on a white horse.
Then skip down, it says second seal is war.
So you have a white horse, second seal war, third seal famine, remember these words, war, famine, fourth seal is death,
War, Famine, Death, Fifth Seal, Martyrs, War, Famine, Death, Martyr, War, Famine, Death, Martyr, Sixth Seal is Terror.
War, Famine, Death, Martyr, Terror.
Now we're going to Matthew 24 and we're going to take that same outline.
They asked Jesus,
“And he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?
And when shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of the world?”
Which we get a new heaven and a new earth, by the way, end of this world.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I want you to notice, this is the longest answer in scripture.
Jesus gives detailed, clear, … our pastor likes to say it this way, “God's not afraid to tell the future because he's already been there.
Tomorrow's news is no news to God."
He sees all the newspapers from all time.
Anyway, Jesus answered and said unto him, uh,
Ye shall hear of wars.
Wait, Revelation 6 talking about wars.
Ye shall have wars, rumors of wars, ye shall hear.
Maybe not experience, but you're going to hear about it.
“Nation rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.”
Here it is, number next one, ready?
So it was wars was outline number one.
Remember the second one from Revelation 6?
That's right, famine.
Right there in verse 7, there shall be famines.
What was number three from Revelation 6?
How about pestilence, earthquakes?
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Oh, wait, we forgot martyr.
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you.”
That's a martyr.
“And you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake and then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another.
As many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.”
The word saved does not always mean saved from hell.
It means rescued from pain, a problem,
If you endure; in context it here is saying that Christians will turn on Christians.
Many will be offended to the point that they're going to betray others, turn them over to the powers and the authorities that are trying to kill them.
They shall deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you.
Some people aren't going to stay faithful to the end.
They're going to cave-in yo false prophets.
If you endure false prophets and don't believe the false prophets, of course you get preserved, safe, secure.
He that shall endure through all this trouble shall be protected.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come.
He talks about desolation, talks about false prophets, false Christs, deception.
Skip down to 29.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather, the angels shall gather together His elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other.”
One end means probably the left side to the other means maybe to the right side.
It means there's an end linearly.
Like nobody in their right mind when they read that verse, did they think of a circle?
They saw one end to the other.
That means left, right.
That's where he gathers them from.
God never gathers people from a globe, but that's a digit for another dollar, for another day.
So what was the sermon about in the morning?
Well, it was about four action points you can take seeing that we know that we're in the end times.
Conflict is arising, famine and pestilence, disease, the rise of the potential for control.
In these smart access grid cities, which monitor and manipulate every action of your lifestyle so that it is convenient for mega evil to move in and rule and reign this world in the optimal format that they've envisioned for centuries.
And that's called Agenda 2030, which you should “never” read.
Unless you wanted to see the playbook for the demonic control of the world, then you should read all of Agenda 2030, because you read the Scripture, and then you should read the anti-scripture, because it reinforces that the Scripture is accurate.
It's okay to read the light, and if you only read one, read the light, but if you can read the light AND the darkness, maybe you'll be better prepared.
A wise man foreseeth the evil and does something.
Why does it seem so many believers want to run at 60 mph straight into the brick wall of BOOM! I had no idea famine was coming. God never told me there as pestilence and wars and economic upheaval. And there’s going to be inflation such that a whole day’s wages is going to afford just a loaf of bread. I won’t be able to afford anything with my excess income, and I’m going to be basically penniless …
I'm beholden to the government to hand out whatever credits if I'm a good boy and I follow their compliance score system?
I had nowhere in Scripture did God warn me?
Well fine, if you can't see it in scripture, if you're seriously that blind, then go be a child of darkness and read the plan of evil.
And it's right there.
It's super clear.
It's right there.
You can't avoid it.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Avoid the future?
For how long is that going to work?
For how long is your plan going to be …
I sing, I close my eyes, and I dance in the dark, hoping I won't hit a wall.
That's brilliant.
It's super brilliant.
Even the disciples were curious to know, what shall the sign be?
When are these things coming?
A lot of us, so we have an inborn craving to want to know when events are going to happen.
And what's going to lead up to those events?
If you have zero curiosity, I would ask you this question.
Is there other areas of your thinking that just aren't working?
Anyway, be kind, be nice.
So what were the four points?
Anticipate with excitement the return of our King, our Friend, our Brother, our Captain, the One Who loves our soul, our Saviour. Not fearful. Anticipate. Look up.
Pray fervently.
Connect with God like you've never connected before.
Take walks outside.
Make sure your heart, your soul, your mind, your spirit are focused, fixated.
He's got free reign.
He can communicate with you.
You communicate with Him.
You're in the Spirit.
I, John, was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day.
Make sure everything's clean and clear.
Clean out all the clutter.
Throw it all in the dumpster.
Power wash your soul.
Get ready for God.
Prepare ye the way of the Lord.
As cried the spirit in the wilderness; John Baptist will come right before him saying He's coming again, like in the immediate future.
You need to get ready to behold the Lamb of God.
And this time he's not the Lamb.
Behold the Lion of God.
Right?
What if you could help?
Let's all help together.
Let's revive the spirit of Elijah, which infused into the spirit of John Baptist, which could be infused into the spirit of today's believer to broadcast boldly:
Declare ye the way of the Lord, make His path straight, get ready for the arrival of the Lion of Judah, the Captain of the army of the Lord's hosts, right?
Is our King coming?
The first time He was a baby, this time he's a King.
First time he was a Lamb, this time he's a Lion.
The first time he was a suffering Servant, this time he's the iron-fisted Governor.
He's the Desire of all nations.
He's the Solver of every problem.
He's going to fulfill all those other prophecies where He will exalt Israel and rescue His bride.
Oh.
How can we prepare?
Serve fervently.
Find something worth doing with God and for God through His inspiration, through His power, with His Spirit flowing through you.
You are designed to do something amazing.
You know, you pour the fuel of God into the unique vessel, the vehicle that is called you, and that fuel
of His Spirit mixed with your God-given design should equal maximum output of something.
It's probably going to do with two things, right?
Your area of service most likely is going to have to do with your hands, your hands serving the King, your hands cleaning, building, doing, making,
doing something of service for others, right?
That's how you serve God.
Or number two, your mouth, your spirit, your soul, your mind, your body, your mouth.
We serve God with our voice, our whole being, our intellect, and maybe both.
Maybe your hands could serve to provide, to lift up, be there, make them available. Take a look at your hands and say, “Dear God, could You infuse my hands with your Spirit of power? Could You use my hands to do something better than sin? Could you make my hands clean and holy and pure, and make my hands go toward the work. Lay hold on eternal life. Put your hands on the distaff. Find that which is good and do it with all thy might! Include your fingers.
Grab hold of the thing God wants you to do and do it with a smile and a song.
I don't know how God has gifted you, but I do know there are many gifted to help others.
Uplifting.
When people ever listen to you, do they say, “Man, that’s so positive. That’s so uplifting. That’s do encouraging. I’m so glad I listened. Thank you. That was good.
What they mean when they say, “That was good”, they mean, “God flowed through you! I could smell and tell it was not the stench of body odor of humanity, but there was the God of the universe flowing His funnel of power through your silly soul in such a way that I could tell that God loves me.
When somebody ever says to you, “Thanks for that”, just say, “God is good” or “It was a partner deal.
You know, God helped me.”
You know, I went and shook the hand of the Sunday School teacher this morning and I essentially said, “Thank you for preparing.”
He said, “Yeah, every morning I would wake up and I'd have a new point, a new thought, a new arrangement.
I wanted to add something to it of how God was getting David ready.”
I said, “The love, the love was evident in the preparation,” and he smiled.
I don't think he took it personal.
I think he took that and sent it to God and said God help me.
Thank you.
Thank you God for preparing.
Thank you God that somebody felt love because we felt love preparing in the prayer closet.
All I'm telling you is serve somebody somehow.
It could be as simple as absorbing truth if you've truly heard truth …
It must go through you, not just to you.
It cannot, it cannot, it cannot stop and just be held in the pocket of your brain.
It's got to come out of your everything, come out your soul, your heart, your mind.
You've got to put it into existence.
You've got to speak to others.
You've got to record it.
You've got to broadcast it.
Love enough to love others.
Let God love you.
Did you hear any truth recently?
What truth is transforming your life and who else is being transformed by that same truth?
Anyway, we should not be able to go to sleep, especially on Sunday after hearing all the truth and serving with all the people without just …
a significant chunk of prayer, thanksgiving, harmony, resonance with God, reviewing what we've learned, being so excited about the truth we heard, and then passing it along.
You don't have to be the greatest at nothing.
You don't have to be polished.
You just have to be sincere.
God uses humble bags, humble buckets,
humble bowls, humble cups, anybody that'll carry anything.
Just take the water of life to anybody.
Use your bag.
It could be a recycled, old, dirty grocery bag.
Just let the truth be carried by you to the next.
Did you really get it?
Was it worth?
Was the truth awesome enough?
If it's not awesome enough to give to someone else, maybe you dropped it.
Maybe you didn't intake it.
Anyway, Jesus is coming soon.
That's awesome.
Let's be ready.
Let's be sharing.
Let's be serving.
Let's be diligent.
Let's be anticipating.
Let's be excited.
Let's be ready.
Let's be clean.
Let's be close.
Let's be really, really, really close to Him.
Amen.
Jesus Returning Shortly, So What?
