Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...
Before the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, HE told us some things to expect to see upon this earth before the second coming of Jesus and the great tribulation and the end of this world.
Jesus said:
Matthew 24:6-8 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.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes ... which we have seen for centuries.
Two other things which must happen before Jesus returns:
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
In 1982, God said to me: The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures. (This we have seen for many generations as various denominations are set up by men and doctrines other than those in New Testament Bible become a part of their church groups.)
Matthew 24:14 Jesus says: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(Hasn't Internet been a very big factor in fulfilling this with both blogs and podcasts?)
I believe we have seen all these things happen.
No one knows exactly when Jesus will returns and the great tribulation will come, but we are told to "be ready".
Most of the people of this world are oblivious to these things that are approaching, but we, the church, know these things are coming and many of us think they are coming soon, perhaps in our own lifetimes.
