dear children of God it has already started with Jerusalem as the first stop the chosen one what I'm about to say isn't meant to scare you but this is what God has boldly said and it will actually affect millions of people around the world get ready because God told you ahead of time what was going to happen the Lord will Roar from Zion and Thunder from Jerusalem Joel 3:16 Says the earth and the heavens will shake but the Lord Lord will be a refuge for his people a stronghold for the people of Israel recently Israel
got attacked the country of God where Jesus Christ the savior of the world and the Son of God was born is being attacked by evil people who go against God's Will and back evil ideas this is not just a chance fight between two countries this is what the Bible said would happen the world is coming together just as God said it would in his book written thousands of years ago every sign like the lightning hitting the Statue of Liberty the solar eclipse making some of the world dark the red moon the red heer prophecy and
the attack just one week after the eclipse do you think that's all just a chance or a story God's children wake up there is no way to know for sure if we have reached the end of the world we're not sure if this means that Jesus Christ is coming back we know for sure that God is still in charge even with all of these problems suffering chaos and fire Christ is coming soon so if you love God read the Bible all the way through and share what you've learned share it with at least 11 people
you love the most remember God is watching his people and his righteous judgment will prevail very soon God says in Ezekiel 38:18 to19 this is what will happen in that day when enemy attacks the land of Israel my hot anger will be aroused declares The Sovereign Lord if in my Zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel these are the words of God we are witnessing the same right now Israel is being attacked by different nations and this is not a time to
rest for all of us millions of people are going to suffer due to these events happening worldwide but we all have a hope yes there is still hope God is still in control of everything and he will not let the the enemy win but as Believers we need to wake up before it is too late God is giving strong signs all across the globe and telling us what is about to come he is commanding us to share the gospel and he's telling us that anyone who has ears to hear Let Them hear this in Matthew
11:15 Jesus says let everyone who has ears here recent events make it even more important to share the message with our people both in Israel and around the world no matter what we can only depend on God and not on our own power although Israel is once again in the middle of a lot of trouble we can take comfort in God's promises everyone should hear that Jesus Christ is coming soon and that now is the time to get ready now is the time to welcome him with Open Hearts and think about how we live it's
not the right time to be cooled off let us instead be consumed by our love for God and his kingdom let's look at our hearts and lives and make sure they always show the love and kindness of Jesus Christ are we showing his love to the people around us the Bible says that the end times will be like the time of Noah back then there was a lot of violence and sin and things were so bad that God chose to start over with a big flood the Bible says it will be like those times Matthew
24: 36-37 says he talked about it and said we should always be because we won't know exactly when it will happen this subject is important God stepped in to fix things just like he did when things got really bad for Noah he wants us to know that his coming back will be big and we need to get ready for it what does it mean to be ready it means not getting too relaxed or caught up in everyday things focusing on Jesus and being ready for anything that comes our way is better we want to be
ready to meet him with faith-filled hearts and open arms when he comes back back now let's look into what this all means for us right now look at the world around you were there a lot of fights and sin I'm afraid so yes people like Noah stayed true to God even when everyone else was doing wrong things we can do the same there is no need for us to change the way we live to serve God no matter what is going on around us also Before the Flood Noah taught repentance all the time but not
many people listened in the same way many people today reject the gospel even though it's easy to find ask yourself if we are like Noah and are we being mocked and attacked for our faith in God that's a scary thought right even though Noah tried very hard to tell his people about the coming judgment they didn't believe him made fun of him or even rejected him outright even though there was a lot of resistance Noah stayed strong in his faith and determined to follow God's rules in the same way people who are strong in their
faith and openly preach the gospel today are often pushed to the edges of society made fun of or even killed for their beliefs in a society that supports atheism and moral relativism people look down on the morals and values of Christians more and more however dear friends let us have hope because Jesus himself tells us that we will have trouble in this world he also said that he would always be with us until the end of time because of this let's not let the hostility and resistance we Face bring us down instead let's be glad
that we get to suffer for Christ's sake this is because just like Noah's loyalty saved his family in the end our faithfulness in hard times can be a source of Hope for those around us also know that Jesus made it clear in Matthew 5: 11-12 blessed are you when people insult persecute and say all kinds of bad things about you because of me enjoy your happiness and praise because they treated the prophets who came before you the same way your reward in heaven is great now that we know that the pain in this age is
only temporary let us face persecution with patience and Grace for the glory that awaits Us in the next age will last forever be brave my friends and keep going on our faith Journey we know that our efforts in the Lord are not in vain now as we come together in prayer let's lift our voices to the God who hears and answers our prayers so let us pray together right now with all our faith dear heavenly father and gracious Lord we come to you with Humble Hearts to ask for your holy protection and guidance during these
hard times we know that the signs of the time show that you will be coming back soon Lord in the same way that Noah did we know how important it is for your saving hand to be on us right now Lord we ask ask that you watch over our lives our families our neighborhoods and our countries protect us from the physical and spiritual storms of life keep us safe from the enemy's plans and the tempter's tricks gather your heavenly host around us and make a strong safe fortress out of them Father we're sorry that we've
strayed from your road so many times giving into the Temptations of sin and the world's distractions Lord forgive us for being lazy and uncaring make make us love your kingdom even more and want to walk in Justice and truth even more Lord we pray for those who are being hurt because of their religion help them through their Hard Times give them the strength to stay strong even when things go against them and let your light shine through them and Light Up The Darkness around them Lord we pray that our leaders both religious and secular will
be wise and know what's best give them the strength to make choices that are in line with your will and will bring bring peace and Justice to the world may they be led by your spirit and follow your love and kindness as their rules father we pray for those who are in pain and need your help help those who are sad heal those who are sick and feed and house those who are poor Lord use us as your tools of kindness and mercy to heal and give hope to people who are hurting Lord as we

do something about the signs we see because they tell us that our time here is limited and that we have big duties as Christians it's not enough to just see the signs we have to act on them and share Love and Truth everywhere we go let us show others the kindness and forgiveness that Jesus taught us by being like him kind words Helping Hands and prayers from the heart are all acts of love and kindness that help God's kingdom grow on Earth remember that small acts of kindness can have big effects on the people around

open mind and let the Bible's lessons guide and change you Also let's remember to help each other out in our neighborhoods as Christians we are to be a source of strength and comfort for each other with strong faith and hope we can face the problems that lie ahead when we talk about the word of Christ with other people let's do it with love and humility people all over the world need Jesus hope and salvation more than anything else by being true to our faith and living it out we become strong witnesses to his truth and
kindness may God bless each of you as you take this step peace come from being with him power from his promises and Joy on your faith Journey keep asking him for help have faith in his plan and share his love with others fear not for God's kindness and mercy are always with you go out into the world in peace
