Time to Go Home Message July 2020
Turn in your Bibles to John 14:1-3.
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
John 14 Verse 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Heaven is a wonderful place according to the Bible. The following scripture details many precious stones. Turn to Revelation 21:15-20.
Revelation 21 Verse 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
Now turn to Mark 13:32
Mark 13 Verse 32 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Matthew Chapter 24 has many verses that instruct us on the time we are living in. Turn to Matthew 24:42-44.
Matthew 24 Verse 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Let us also look at Verses 32-33
The Parable of the Fig Tree
Matthew 24 Verse 32 Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
We see there will be deceptions in Religions in Matthew 24 Verses 4 to 8.
Matthew 24 Verse 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Look at the huge upsurge in Disasters since 1950.
Matthew 24 Verse 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
The world has been dealing with ongoing wars for a long time. Millions of people have been killed in wars.
Matthew 24 Verse 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Turn to Exodus 15:26
Exodus 15 Verse 26 He Said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Leviticus is a chapter that shares God’s Health Laws.
COVID19 is a disease from a bat which is labeled an unclean animal in the Bible. All diseases that spread from human to human are sourced from unclean animals. Moses is the father of infection control. All of the Quarantine rules can be found in Leviticus 13.
How will man act in the end times?
Turn to 2 Timothy 3:1-2
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
2 Timothy 3 Verse 1 3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
Love of money is the root of all evil. There is nothing wrong with having money, it is a problem when we are laying up treasures on earth and Jesus warned us to not lay up treasures on earth.
Turn to Luke 21:25
The Coming of the Son of Man
Luke 21 Verse 25 And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.
Revelation 6:12-13
Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances
Revelation 6 Verse 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon earthquake, occurred in Portugal on the morning of Saturday, 1 November, Feast of All Saints, at around 09:40 local time. In combination with subsequent fires and a tsunami, the earthquake almost totally destroyed Lisbon and adjoining areas.
Seismologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake had a magnitude of 8.4 on the moment magnitude scale, with its epicenter in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 km west-southwest of Cape St. Vincent. Chronologically it was the third known large scale earthquake to hit the city. Estimates place the death toll in Lisbon alone between 10,000 and 30,000 people, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history.
New England’s Dark Day occurred on 19 May 1780, when an unusual darkening of the day sky was observed over the New England states and parts of Canada. The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires, a thick fog, and cloud cover. The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It did not disperse until the middle of the next night.
On 13 November 1833, over 70,000 meteors were falling from the sky per hour for 9 hours. Our world has seen events that the Bible authors wrote about 2,000 years before.
Moral Decay
All around us, we see violence. Portland, Oregon has experienced nightly violent protests since May 2020. Some cities are calling for police departments to no longer be funded. Crime has gone through the roof with murders, thefts and destruction of private property.
Turn to Matthew 24:14
Matthew 24 Verse 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Turn to Revelation 22:12
Jesus Testifies to the Churches
Revelation 22 Verse 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.”
No longer will there be any curse, tears, death or sadness. Hope you have enjoyed reading the Time to Go Home Message July 2020. For more spiritual messages from Bible Teachers Around the World, please visit my link below.
