after the 1948 refounding of the nation of Israel in her ancient Homeland even Bible believing Christians often wondered what would draw the attention and animosity of the whole world to that little Nation have you ever thought about the things that will take place before Jesus Christ returns to this planet up until now we have discussed so many things regarding Christ's return but the topic is so vast like a sea that so much of it still needs to be covered the second coming of Christ is mentioned numerous times in scripture with approximately 1,500 Old Testament passages
and one out of every 25 New Testament lines mentioning the messiah's return and the events linked to that the abundance of information devoted to this significant event emphasizes What God Says in Amos 3 7 surely The Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets so what else is there that we need to know about Christ's return according to the Evangelical Christian author Dr David Jeremiah let's find out that have been fulfilled in the past with pinpoint accuracy for instance take the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ born of a virgin
born in Bethlehem to be our savior take that event did you know that in the Old Testament there are 300 prophecies concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ an important message according to David Jeremiah the old test is full of promises of a global Gathering of people and Nations into God's kingdom as it says in gen 12 23 PS 2227 and Isa 496 the New Testament commemorated the beginning outworking and fulfillment of these promises it stands to reason that Christ's return would occur after his Harvest had been fully ingested mission complete in Matthew chapter 24
Jesus answered the three questions asked by a group of his disciples as Jesus Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately tell us they saidh will this happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the End of the Age Matt 243 the first question that was asked by the disciples was when will this happen which according to David Jeremiah referred to the fall of the temple as mentioned in verses 1 and two of the same chapter this occurred in ad70 when Roman general Titus and his
troops sack Jerusalem and destroyed the temple to these inquiries Jesus responded with indicators of his impending arrival that is the beginning of birth pains such as Wars and famines followed by the sign of his arrival the gospel being spread throughout the world and serving as a testimony or witness to All Nations and groups of people this would bring the task to a close M 24:14 according to Apostle Peter when critics claimed that Christ's return had not yet occurred the apostle Peter responded in a similar way the Lord is not slow to keep his promise as
some perceive it he is patient with you Desiring no one to perish but all to come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9 clearly the return of Christ is linked to global evangelism Peter reiterates his point several verses later adding bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation 2p 315 there are 300 prophecies in the Bible concerning the first coming of Christ but there are three times that many prophecies in the Bible concerning the second coming of Christ if almighty God prophesied his first coming over here and now time has passed and we say you know
everything he said what happened happened and now he's prophesying another coming with the same kind of verbiage in the same prophets what do you think he will do I think he'll fulfill them don't you I think the things that he says will happen will happen the second coming of Christ what must be known according to David Jeremiah the second coming of Jesus Christ is such an important topic in the Bible that is emphasized more than the first coming of Jesus Christ and we can understand why many of us are looking forward to Jesus Christ's second
arrival to Earth where he has anticipated to rule for 1,000 years as the end of the centuries approaches the church continues to live in great hope for the coming King King who is both Israel's Messiah and the savior of the Gentile race but what's in it for us to understand according to David Jeremiah there are around 300 prophecies which are related to the first coming of Jesus Christ but there are almost double the amount of prophecies which are related to his second coming if the prophecies were being fulfilled when it was the time for his
first coming so will the prophecies related to his second coming according to David Jeremiah Jesus wants us to know what things will take place before puts his feet back on Earth and that's something very important in some Christ's return ushers in what scripture refers to as the kingdom of God God's absolute authority over all of his creation including Humanity many of the answers we seek for future events are given in Bible prophecy the word of God declares shall a trumpet be sounded in the city and the people not be terrified will there be evil in
a city if the Lord does not do it surely the Lord God will do nothing except expose his secret to his servants the prophets Amos 367 only God knows what tomorrow brings however the scriptures give a glimpse of what is ahead for those who know God Almighty as we study his written word and seek him with all our hearts he will reveal tomorrow's Secrets but of that day and hour knoweth no man no not the angels of heaven but my father only Matthew 24:36 when I was 7 years old something happened in our world that
has forever changed the landscape going forward it almost happened off the radar screen as far as many people are concerned it was 1948 so you do the math and you'll figure out how old I am the year 1948 when everything changed on May 14th 1948 Israel proclaimed freedom and established itself as the state of Israel today Jews from all over the World continue to return to their motherland and this is something that changed the history of the entire world so the first very important thing that declared the truth of the Bible was this when Israel
became an independent state the Bible recognizes this restoration as the first event that must take place before the coming of the Lord and it has Jeremiah 16145 therefore behold the days come saeth the Lord that it shall no more be said the Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt but the Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands wither he had driven them and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers according to Bible prophecy when the people return to their Homeland they will be using the same language they did when they left Jeremiah 31:23 thus saith the Lord of hosts the go God of Israel as yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof when I shall bring back their captivity the Lord bless thee o habitation of justice and mountain of Holiness the Israelites had been scattered for 2,000 years despite the fact that they did not live in their Homeland for two centuries the Jewish people maintained their
native language the restoration of Israel resulted in the restoration of a people who had been nearly extinct thus according to David Jeremiah the reunification of Israel brings about the Fulfillment of all Endtime prophecies because Israel is God's time clock everything that happens in Israel has an impact on the entire world when the most high divided the Nations by their inheritance when he separated the sons of Adam he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel Deuteronomy 328 going to be a ruler who comes upon this Earth he will
rule the whole world he will be the ruler of the whole world I thought at one time that would be impossible it's becoming more and more possible all the time is it not through all of our technology through all the things we're able to do the Bible says he will agregate power to himself and he will rule the whole world now what the scripture says is this the falling away and the man of lawlessness other important events that David Jeremiah talks about here here are the falling away and the man of lawlessness or the son
of predition so what are these events and how are they going to be fulfilled in the end of times which is right now the falling away is a statement that shows that there will be a significant end time apostasy or departure from the religion in 1 Timothy 4 and 2 Timothy 4 Paul indicates that this will be because some will depart from the Faith by adopting teachings originating in Hell the falling away May signify not only a decrease in church attendance but also that godlessness and warped gospels will win over the hearts and minds of
those who have itching ears and refuse to follow God's written word now let me tell you something interesting here apostasy includes the concept of revolt against God as a result it most likely has two applications in terms of falling away one is theological apostasy which is the rejection of the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints which requires Allegiance separation and obedience two is the moral apostasy which refers to the abandonment of all moral norms and absolutes inside the church this is becoming more clear by the day it appears that church members will find
it simpler to follow the man of sin than the Savior Jesus Christ according to David Jeremiah Paul is referring to the fact that there will be a small group of faithful Believers in the last days who will not give up their faith in Christ but will stand firm and persevere to the end the rest will adopt popular theology which will ruin their souls Jesus Christ will return to a world where most of so-called Christianity will be powerless Luke 188 when the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the Earth but those who overcome
will be welcomed into his kingdom this world ruler will come out of the reunited European Coalition in other words out of the old Roman Empire revived in the last time this ruler will emerge he will come from there he's not going to come from the United States the Bible says that the Antichrist will not be revealed until after the Rapture the man of sin the man of sin is another term for the Antichrist who will appear in the final days of human history according to scripture this person will be announced as the ruler of the
one world government based in Rome his power will be both political and religious and because of this he may emerge from the Vatican the Lord Jesus Christ will not establish his Millennial Kingdom until the Antichrist 7-year Reign has ended according to Daniel 9:27 the world ruler will establish a 7-year peace treaty with Israel after 3 and A2 years he will break the treaty and declare himself as God in the rebuilt Temple of Jerusalem opposing and exalting himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sth in the temple
of God showing himself that he is God 2 Thessalonians 2:4 he will persecute those who are faithful to to the Lord the Bible also tells us that this man of sin is going to be worshiped by all who do not know the true God of the Bible the man of sin is empowered by Satan to work all kinds of deceiving signs and wonders which the inhabitants of Earth will believe to be of God the Bible also talks about it in this way even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they received not the love of the trth truth that they might be saved for there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in so much that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect 2 Thessalonians 29 Matthew 24:24 however he is going to be defeated when Jesus comes again thus it is important for us to stay watchful no matter when the mentioned events take place but we can read the end of the
book to learn about the up coming Victory which is another great event that will occur before Jesus Christ returns we are going to witness the greatest Revival since Pentecost and Acts 3 vividly describes this astonishing event as follows acts 31921 repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord and He Shall send Jesus Christ which before was preached unto you whom the Heaven Must receive until the times of restitution of all things which God has spoken by the mouth
of all his holy prophets since the world began according to David Jeremiah the greatest prophetic sign of our wonderful Lord's eminent return will be an unparalleled outpouring of the holy spirit's Revival fires upon the world Isaiah 613 arise Shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee for Behold The Darkness shall cover the Earth and gross dark n the people but the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory shall be seen upon thee and the Gentiles shall come to thy light and Kings to the brightness of thy
Rising we are witnessing this unfold before our eyes God is unlocking doors we never thought imaginable and as the hour of his coming near The Cry Of Heaven for Souls grows louder As We rise shine and allow the Lord's Splendor to touch and transform Our Lives we shall reflect his qualities presence and person as the church experiences an enormous Revival the planet will be covered in darkness the Bible warns of gross darkness which is nearly physical while profound darkness fills the globe God's holy presence and Splendor will expand and fully saturate sanctify and invade the
believer's life but in the meantime while we're waiting for the return of Christ we need to be gathering with one another you say I can worship God on the golf course you cannot any more than you can play golf in the church building you can't do it you need to be with God's people if you listen to Turning Point you hear me say this every Friday night you need to be gathered Jesus said the kingdom of God had come in order to inform the people that the Lord God was governing in their midst many Jews
in those days expected and hoped to see the kingdom established via violence and bloodshed they were hoping for a leader who could defeat the Romans once and for all however they were unaware that the true king was already among them as he was teaching and preaching to them jesus carried the kingdom of God in his heart everywhere he went he shared it with everyone he met Jesus's tremendous Acts were also living proof that the kingdom of God was operating in the midst of the people while walking among the Jews Jesus performed many healing signs wonders
and miracles in addition to teaching and preaching to them about God's kingdom many individuals who witnessed the miracles of Jesus were amazed so just like the way Jesus healed others according to David Jeremiah the same is expected to be done by us who are the true followers of him we need to be gathered with each other love each other and forgive each other so that when the time of his coming arrives we can be saved and we are with him in the heavens where each and every one of us wants to reside for eternity let
