[Music] I want you to watch out for a few things over the next few months the first is that more and more technology will be geared towards laying the foundation for the Antichrist and a one world system but let's pause for a second rewind time to 2019 in an interview patriarch kill said smartphone users should take care using what he called the worldwide web of gadgets because it represented an opportunity to gain Global control over mankind it would be the Antichrist he warned who would end up at the head of the worldwide web controlling all
of human kind one article quoted him as saying every time you use your Gadget whether you like it or not whether you turn on your location or not somebody can find out exactly where you are are exactly what your interests are and exactly what you are scared of patriarch cill told rece a one if not today then tomorrow methods and Technology could appear that will not just provide access to all information but will also allow the use of this information do you imagine what power will be concentrated in the hands of those who gain knowledge
about what is going on in the world such control from one place for boess the coming of the Antichrist end quote Now isn't that an interesting observation think about it how close are we to having your driver's license on your phone your passport your health record and your entire banking ecosystem all on your phone some countries are further than others with reports stating many countries are now modernizing their ID databases to include biometric identifiers that authenticate or verify identity based on physical characteristics such as fingerprints Iris face and palm prints gate voice and DNA end
quote from a Biblical perspective how can we interpret this well we all know that one day a Mark will be required for any individual to be able to buy or sell according to the Bible not many believe that when the Antichrist appears on the world stage he's not going to run around and begin setting up a system for people to buy and sell with his Mark that system will already be in place he will just enforce it he's not going to begin coordinating with the various governments of the world these systems will already be there
so beware of this development my second point is that Hollywood secular music and entertainment will continue to promote and parade a satanic agenda we've already seen multiple movie directors talk about involving real witches on set for a more authentic experience for the viewers we've already seen a growing number of musicians who openly use satanic lyrics and even go as far as to glorify evil and in a addition to this we've clearly seen the growing trend of evil imagery and symbolism award shows music videos and movies there's a trend we are seeing and we will continue
to see AR rise in demonic activity in mainstream entertainment the third point is to do with people in society second Timothy 3 talks about the last days and I feel as though the theme of the chapter is captured in the first verse because the Bible says but Mark this there will be terrible times in the last days second Timothy 3 then continues to tell us for some things we need to watch out for there will be a time when people will want to have their ears tickled they will want a gospel that gives the blessing
but doesn't require repentance they want a gospel that preaches Prosperity instead of sacrificial living and there's a lot of this now a lot of people prefer to have their ears tickled instead of receiving the pure gospel that will penetrate the heart and challenge every sinful behavior in your life now to add to the corruption that will be in the world 2 Timothy 3 tells us that there will be a total breakdown of society because people will be treacherous rash slanderous brutal disobedient to parents abusive and without self-control no rules no moral absolutes no restraints of
any kind everyone will do that which is right in their own eyes and woe to the person who dares to question anyone's lifestyle choices now verse 5 says that people will have a form of godliness but denying its power have nothing to do with such people in this age of religious Rebels men and women who have the outward appearance of godliness but deep down in their hearts they're filled with sin and deceit religious Rebels will ask all of the right questions but watch their actions because they will follow all of the wrong answers religious Rebels
may go as far as quoting scripture but they're hard Hearts will be far from God and even further from his word and so for the Christian who is listening what are you to do how will you survive the conditions described in 2 Timothy chter 3 well the chapter ends in verse 16 and 17 saying all scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching rebuking correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work the truth of the word of God can save you forgive you justify
you sanctify you purify you transform you regenerate you and one day it will take you all the way home to heaven for all eternity everything we need to know about life with God can be found in the pages of the Bible if we had needed to know anything else God would have told us the Bible is complete as it stands a finished product that will produce in us a new life a Godly life a growing life a fruitful life a loving life a Christlike life eternal life the very life of God God himself in Titus
2:3 the Bible tells us about the Blessed hope what is the Blessed hope you may ask well in Titus 2:13 the Bible says waiting for our blessed hope the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ The Blessed hope for us as Christians is the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ Saints let me tell you that we are on a collision course with Destiny there is coming a day when those who have been born again will be caught up in the air to meet Jesus personally I look forward to the
Rapture the Bible tells us that we will be given glorified bodies in heaven we will be in the presence of God Almighty for all eternity now salvation is a personal decision meaning that it's your decision alone to accept Jesus Christ or reject him just as you came into the world alone and you will leave this world on your own you will stand before Christ as an individual there will be a day where you can't point to your mother or father it won't matter what your last name is or who you're related to the only thing
that will matter is do you know Jesus Christ have you accepted him as Lord and savior in your life that is all that will matter Jesus said in Luke 17: 34-36 I tell you on that night two people will be in one bed one will be taken and the other left two women will be grinding Grain Together one will be taken and the other left what the Bible is doing here is that it's giving us an illustration of how the Rapture will happen you and I could never tell who will be caught up and raptured
away because it's only God who knows the state of the heart but what will happen is that husband and wife will go to bed one night and one will be taken but the other will remain two friends will be walking and talking and in the twinkling of an eye one will be taken and one will be left behind in all of these occasions it's only the person who is pure in heart that will be taken it's the one who lives for Jesus and under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit it doesn't matter if
your wife prays or your husband is a big giver when Jesus Christ Returns the only thing that matters is whether you have a relationship with him not everybody is going up in the Rapture unbelievers will be left behind some Believers will have backslidden and will be left behind other believers will be left behind because they have secrets secrets that only they know and God sees you cannot afford to be ignorant concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ you should be looking forward to the second coming of Christ you should be longing to be caught up
in the air with the Son of God Romans 12:2 sayso not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect Saints do not conform to this world that's a clear word of instruction don't comply with this world don't become acclimated to this world Saints we are in this world but we should not become accustomed nor should we adjust to this world and so you may ask what exactly should we not be
accustomed to in this world well let me tell you that the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 in their case the God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God I want to focus on the first few words of this verse the God of this world has blinded the Minds Saints this world is lost and the Bible clearly says the God of this world the devil Satan he has a hold on the minds
of people who are not in Christ This Is Why We ought not to be conformed to the patterns to the values and the customs of this world have you noticed the heresy the blasphemy the lack of reverence for Godly Prin principles that this world has we need to be a people who are focused on Christ a people who are governed by the word of God a people who are regulated and directed by the holy spirit so that we can truly seek first the kingdom of God Psalm 1 verse 1 and 2 say blessed is the
man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked nor stands in the way of Sinners nor sits in the seat of scoffers but his is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night you are blessed when you don't sit an entertain scoffers don't sit with them or break bread with them of course do your Christian Duty which is to love all people and share the gospel of Christ but do not sit or get into a state of being relaxed when you are around a scoffer they will pull
you down the dangerous thing about a scoffer is that their sole aim is to make you doubt out they plant seeds of doubt that's their mission it's simply to spread doubt they want you to question everything about the Lord they want you to question 1 Thessalonians 4:17 which says then we who are alive who are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will always be with the Lord they want you to question Revelation 3:10 because you have kept my word about patient
endurance I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell on the earth they want you to question the word of God but we should resist such a person protect your faith protect yourself by not exposing yourself to people who purposely come to trip you up instead focus on living a life that is pure and pleasing to Jesus focus on doing all you can to put this flesh under subjection in fact the Bible tells us how to prepare for the coming of the Lord in
2 Peter 3:14-15 therefore beloved since you are waiting for these be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish and at peace and count the patience of Our Lord as salvation just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him we as children of God should be found spotless and blameless in peace that is inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence having lived a life of obedience to him we're all comforted by the thought of God being eternally loving which he is we get that
lovely warm feeling inside when we read of God being our Mighty protector our shield and defense he certainly is all of the above we love the fact that God is forever merciful he is kind and gracious however allow me to say this sternly God is not to be mocked often times we can deliberately sin we can deliberately disobey all because we think that the nature of God His Kind nature we think that his nature will Overlook our wrongs however this is not the case God hates sin the Bible in Psalm 5:4 says for you are
not a God who Delights in wickedness evil may not dwell with you he is is a God who doesn't Delight in sin he takes no pleasure from it that's why the wages of sin are death the Lord is too righteous and holy for sin to even be in his presence he's he's too pure for that and so what happens when God gets angry what happens when people sin day after day and mock him what happens when people forget that the Bible says in Exodus 34:14 for you shall worship no other God for the Lord whose
name is jealous is a jealous God what strikes me about the children of Israel is that they were set free they were LED cared for and blessed by the Lord but yet still found a reason to complain their hearts were ungrateful and they sinned with their unthankful attitudes as they murmured and complained now the Bible reads in numbers 11 verse 1 and 2 and the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes and when the Lord heard it his anger was kindled and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed
some outlying parts of the camp then the people cried out to Moses and Moses preached to the Lord and the fire died down the decision to overlook the goodness of God led to an outpouring of his wrath so you see God is loving but he is not to be mocked he is patient but he is not weak so we should not provoke him to anger you can't deceive him or think that you can pull a fast one on him he is omnipresent he is omniscent and all knowing [Music]
