    Good, our hope is not of this world. If you are assaulted by the evil you hear and see, good, you are awake. If these evils feel like they are robbing you of your love and enjoyment of this life, good. You were not meant for this life or any of the worldly carnal distractions of this life, seemingly good or evil.

    Turn off the noise of this world, spend your days in quiet prayer with Jesus, and in that silence grow in unity and Love with Jesus your sure Rock and Salvation.

    Jesus brings Love, order, peace, confidence, rest and strength. In the quiet time of prayer and the mundane duties done with Jesus are you restored.

    Turn off the world and it’s chaos, let Jesus calm your waters.

    I am meant for this world. If I wasn't then God would not have created me and placed me here.
    God does tell us that we are here as exiles in a foreign land.
    God does tell us that we are Ambassadors to this foreign land calling out to all the citizens in this foreign land that they need to be reconciled with the King of Kings or they will be utterly destroyed and eternally damned by the just judgment of the King of Kings.
    Salty has already shown, in his verse reference, that we are to go, make disciples, and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

    So, we are meant for this world, to do the will of our King.

    What does the Word of GOD say? The Word is GOD, self-executing.
    Revelation 11:15-18
    15
    ... The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. (Compare with Luke 20:35-36 and Romans 8:18-19, and 1Corinthians 15:24-26&51-55, and Philippians 3:20-21, among other biblical references).
    ...
    18 - And the NATIONS were (will be) angry, and thy wrath is come (GOD's WRATH is come), ... and should DESTROY them which destroy the earth. (One of the 7 heads of the Beast of sea it will be wounded to death)
    By the way, the WRATH of GOD just has begun, I mean, it is in the beginning of SORROWS-Matt.24:3-8, it just is in the beginning, yeah, and it WILL NEVER END, the GOD's WRATH and punishments OF THIS WORLD will be without interruption, it has begun with this current period of sorrows and continues for ever and ever. The PERDITION is ETERNAL.

    Get ready -Matthew 25:6-13- , the days will be shortened.
    Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days,i.e. 45 days after the period of 1290 days, Yeah, day 1335, the Ineffable, Wonderful, Indescribable, Unspeakable day, the day 1.335. Hallelujaaah!!!

    Get ready

    Indeed, Jesus is returning and all enemies of the King will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
    Meanwhile, until He returns, we are called to be the Kings ambassador and call the world to reconciliation just as the angel shows us.

    Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
    (Revelation 14:6-7)

    We have a purpose for being here so let us run the race well.

    And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    (Romans 8:28-39)

    Yes, the hour of His Judgment has come. The time came that the saints shall possess the kingdom, Judgment shall be given to the saints of the most High, as prophesied Daniel.

    Daniel 7:26-27

    26 - The Judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
    27 And the Kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

    Paul Apostle prophesied, saying: " Do ye not know that the saints shall Judge the WORLD? and if the WORLD shall be JUDGED by you, are ye unworthy to Judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall JUDGE angels (angels of the Churches)? how much more things that pertain to this life?

    Revelation 5:10
    And hast made us unto our GOD kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth.

    This world of the Devil is full of violence, but our Lord JESUS promised, saying: " Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth - Matthew 5:5.

    When Jesus returns He will reign and we will be with Him.
    Until then, we are Ambassadors.
    Oseas3, you need to live in the present and call on the people in this world to be reconciled to King Jesus before it is too late. You can quote all of Revelation, Daniel and all the Prophets all you like, but if you aren't doing your ambassador duties, you are building with wood, hay, and stubble and the fire of God's judgment will burn up everything you've ever done because you used worthless materials.

    Opinion is good for nothing, what matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, self-executing, understand? According your own words you still are sleeping deeply.

    I must announce to you a very important message-Matthew 25:6-13-, you need to wake up, wake up from your sleep, and soon, get up quickly, and be ready to meet the bridegroom, instead of meeting the oil sellers (evangelists, pastors, bishops , among other preachers of the Gospel, angels of the churches), otherwise, the bridegroom cames and you,and all like you, that go to meet the oil sellers,including the oil sellers themselves, every one will search to meet the bridegroom, but the door is/will be closed for them all, by the way, JESUS is the door, only and only those which are ready shall enter in with Him to the marriage.

    Revelation 19:7-9 - a prophetical message for this current time of Apocalypse
    7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

    8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

    9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of GOD.

    Revelation 22:11-12
    11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

    12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.(work of unjust; filthy; righteous and holy)

    Many shall be purified, and made white(Rev.19:8 above), and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand-Daniel 12:10.

    Get ready

    If this world sickens you, we are just pilgrims passing through... Brother Glen:)

    Hebrews 11: 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

    You have no clue who I am and moreso, you seem to have a very poor grasp of the Book of Revelation.
    I love the commission of my King to be an ambassador of reconciliation and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
    When Jesus returns, may He find us faithful.

    Opinion is good for nothing, what matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, self-executing, understand? According your own words you still are sleeping deeply, and is not discerning the current time, time of the righteous Judgment of GOD, the Judgment Seat of Christ. It is Jesus who is in control of history, nothing happens by chance or at random.

    Matthew 24:v.1-2
    Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple: and His disciples came to Him for to show Him the buildings of the Temple. (Oh how great, how admirable, were the stones of the Temple of Jerusalem!!!) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here ONE stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down-Matthew 24:1-2.

    Jesus left His disciples disappointed with his answer, evidently.
    What JESUS prophesied about the Temple it fulfilled LITERALLY in the year 70AD. So, in LITERAL fulfilment of the words of JESUS, the Temple was destroyed in 70AD,
    and the people of Israel was banned from their land and scattered around the world for 1.878 years, from year 70 to 1.948AD, more than 100K died.
    Israel was punished severely from year 70 until 1,948 AD, they suffered severe and great punishments in LITERAL fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:v.15 to 68. 53 verses of severe punishments and curses. Take a look. By the way, the WORD IS GOD and is self executing, understand?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Then JESUS went to the Mount of Olives,
    and the disciples still perplex with the destination of the Temple of Jerusalem according JESUS had spoken prophetically, then they made more two important questions to the Lord JESUS, saying privately: Matthew 24:v.3 -
    (1st) What shall be the sign of thy coming?
    ;
    (2nd) and of the END of the world? (the current Devil's world)

    Well, the testimomy of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy. So He LISTED several events linked (1st) to His coming and
    (2nd) to the END of this world - the current Devil's world-, as follow:


    JESUS SAID TO THE DISCIPLES, AND FOR US TOO, HOW WOULD BE THE START OF THE END TIMES; HE LISTED SEVERAL EVENTS, THE BEGINNING OF THE SORROWS -

    Matthew 24:v.4 to 8 -
    And Jesus answered and said unto His disciples:
    v.4 - Take heed that no man deceive you;
    (this was the first concerns of JESUS). It seems that many have not kept the warning of JESUS and are being deceived by false and devilish theories spread in the world mainly through internet.

    v.5 - For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many;
    (Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb, actually a false lamb, a false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR, as said JESUS -John 5:v.43 combined with Revelation 13:v.11-18. Check it out).

    v.6 - And ye shall hear of wars and RUMOURS of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the END is not yet.

    v.7 - For NATION shall rise against NATION, and kingdom against kingdom, ...:
    (Will be G7, and G20, and EU, and UNO, among others Entities, DISSOLVED from now on? Day after day, the happenings of the current satanic World will run in this way /according 2 Peter 3:v.7 and Revelation 11:v.18 and Micah 4:v.3).

    ... and there shall be famines;
    (the prophecies are already fulfilling literally, this is literally being fulfilled in this current time;

    - and pestilences ;
    (this is literally being fulfilled in this current time);

    - and earthquakes, in divers places. -
    several of them ;

    But,

    8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    Get ready

    In sequence and continuation of the above prophesied by my Lord JESUS will LITERALLY be fulfilled Matt.24:9 to 27, (and it without any gap or break).

    Awake and Get ready

    Sir, your judgmental spirit is noted.
    Please note that every child of God IS ready. We cry out Abba Father everyday as we persevere through tribulation.
    The verses you share are happening...now!

    And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

    “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

    (Matthew 24:4-14,29-31)

    We are SO ready for the return of the KING! It will be GLORIOUS!

    Do YOU believe this? You should. This is what Jesus tells you in His Word!

    There's nothing worthless about the book of Daniel, Revelation, or the prophets. It troubles me that you're complaining about this! I agree with taisto that you are judgmental. What makes you think he's not living in the present?

    The difference is being "in the world" vs being "of the world".
