Issues That Matter About the End of Time

THE END OF TIME

Shalom family

There’s no doubt One End Time Truth, because God is True. I’m not coming to tell you about any Eschatological Truth or Truth about the end times. I just want to encourage us to have the right motivation. I have been encouraged by who you are and many other brothers besides you to have the right motivation.

What are the issues that matter?

Is it about whether I’m going through a great tribulation or not?

What will be the eschatology of a brother who suffers terribly at this moment in a country where Christians are legally killed?

What will our eschatology be, in a country where we can still talk about Jesus Christ?

Will our eschatological interpretation depend on us? Our circumstances? Our desires? Our fears? Our joys?

It is written:

1 John 3: 1 See what love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And we are. If the world does not know us, it is because it did not know Him.

1 John 3: 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

1 John 3: 3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

Everyone with the hope of the Perspective of seeing Jesus Christ, seeing His love Fully expressed, he will purify himself.

You cannot purify yourself because you were given the information that the millennium would be before or after the tribulation...

You cannot purify yourself because you’re taught that Jesus is coming on December 14. This has never purified anyone with such information.

You cannot purify yourself because you are aware of what Jesus will do when He returns.

You cannot purify yourself because you have discerned the prophecies of the destruction of Jerusalem.

The Only Thing that can Purify you is that Jesus is your Treasure, your Pursuit, your Hope, your Purpose, your Destiny, your Goal, your Life, your Project, your Arrival, your Desire, your Delight, your All…

If the Lord is this for you, then you are thirsty ...

You will thirst after Him, your soul will sigh with longing for His coming, His Presence, His Final Deliverance, His Eternal Company. Heaven will be Glorious not because it is Heaven but because you will see Jesus in Heaven for Real at all times....

You will thirst…you will thirst…you will thirst

Your whole being will cry: “O my Lord, Jesus Christ, my Savior, the Beloved of my soul, You are my Quest !!”

So, if there’s tribulation, it won’t stop you!

If there’s no tribulation, it won’t make you sleepy!

Your goal is not the absence or presence of Suffering, your goal is Jesus Christ!

The tears of your tribulation will be a cry saying: “O Jesus, I need You so much!”

The smiles of your joys will be a cry saying: “O Jesus, what is this earth compared to the Splendor of Your Presence!”

In tribulation you’ll say in tears: “O tribulation, you cannot hide the Glory of the Love of Jesus Christ!”...

In the absence of tribulation you’ll say, “I will not be weighed down because I want to stay in the Joy of Jesus Christ!”...

Let’s pray for each other to have the Hope that Purifies...

Ask God all sorts of questions about the things that will happen but in keeping the Joy that He gives us because He is our Joy...
