The Bible offers great hope and promises.
II Peter 3:9 says that God is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Imagine you are standing in front of a judge, GUILTY of serious crime. All the evidence has been presented and there is no doubt of your guilt. Your apologies and good works cannot erase your crimes; therefore you must be punished. The fine for your crime is $250,000 and you have no money.
The judge is about to pass sentence when someone you don't even know rushes in and pays your fine for you! The court accepts the money and declares that you are free to go.
That is exactly what God did for you on the cross 2000 years ago.
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus loved you so much that he paid the penalty for your sin, so you wouldn't have to!
God has provided a way of escape. And that is through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
What must I do?
Repent of Your Sin - That means turning away from your sin and asking God to forgive you for breaking His law. Jesus said in:
Luke 13:3
"Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
NEXT ...
Refuse Your Own Self-Effort, Realize that there is no way you can work your way to heaven or somehow be "good enough" to earn heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by GRACE ye are saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT of works, lest any man should boast."
Trust in Jesus Christ as Your Only Hope. Trust in Jesus, like you would trust a parachute if you were jumping out of an airplane. You wouldn't just believe in the parachute, you would put it on (trust it) and jump (act on it).
That is how we must put our FAITH and TRUST in Jesus as our only hope of heaven.
Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Receive Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Lord - Turn your life over to him!
II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Today with all your heart, turn away from your sin, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Please don't put it off. You may die today and then it will be too late. Put your faith and trust in Him today.

The Key Signs
The most important signs are the ones that relate to Israel
because God uses the Jews throughout the Scriptures as His prophetic
time clock. By this I mean that very often when the Lord is revealing
an important event that will take place in the future, He will point
to the Jewish people and state that when a certain thing happens
to them, the important event will also occur.
A good example of this principle can be found in Daniel 9 in the
famous "Seventy Weeks of Years" prophecy. The prophet tells us to
watch for a decree to be issued that will authorize the rebuilding
of Jerusalem. He then says that the Messiah will come sixty-nine
weeks of years (483 years) after that decree is issued to the Jewish people.
There are two key prophecies which relate the return of Jesus to
events that have occurred in Jewish history since 1948. These two events
clearly established the period in which we are now living as the season
of the Lord's return.

THE TEMPLE WILL BE REBUILT !!!
The request reads: "Children wanted for Future Temple service.
Ultra-orthodox Jewish sect is searching for parents willing to hand over newborn sons to be raised in isolation and purity in preparation for the rebuilding of the biblical temple in Jerusalem.
Only members of the Jewish priestly caste, the Kohanim need apply..."

Daniel 8:25 (King James Version)
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
The last 3 ½ years of the Great Tribulation period will be a time of intense persecution for the nation of Israel. It is at the midpoint of the Great Tribulation period that the antichrist will break his covenant with Israel (Dan. 9:27; Mt. 24:15). The upshots of what will follow will be both political and religious. For instance, the antichrist will make a stop of the Jewish sacrifices in the rebuilt temple (Dan. 9:27). At this point, the period of time called the “great tribulation” will begin (Mt. 24:15, 16, 21).
Daniel 12:11 adds the following: “from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolation is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.” In others words, from the time of the abomination of desolation until the beginning of the millennial reign of Christ will be 1,290 days. The extra 30 days after the time of Christ’s second coming is to judge the sheep and goats to determine who will enter into the millennial kingdom and who will be cast away into eternal punishment (cf. Mt. 25).
Therefore, the antichrist will stop both worship of GOD and the Jewish sacrificial system in order to declare that he is to be worshipped (2 Thess. 2:4).
Religion of the Last Days
The Bible indicates that the antichrist (or beast) will expand upon his rule from a revived Roman Empire (European Union) with his seat of power in the Vatican, to the entire world during the last half of the Tribulation period (Rev. 13:12-17).
Revelation 17-18 indicates that the antichrist’s one world government will focus upon economic, political, and religious concerns. The world today believes that the only hope for mankind will be a one-world economy, government, and religion. This would certainly make sense in an unstable world.
However, such attempts are a rejection of GOD’s authority and the attempt of mankind to build a 'heaven' on earth. A good example of that is in the ‘Tower of Babel’ event in the Old Testament. The beginning of Babylon.
The move toward a global religion is stronger than ever today. For instance, the New Age movement has infiltrated every area of Western thought in the business world, health profession, education, and even the church at times. Organizational religious unity and theological heresy are rampant in the current day. Islam is continuing to expand across the Globe with its history of pagan worship towards a moon god allah and the ‘falling star’ Lucifer
( ref: Isaiah chapter 14, verse 12 ).
Clearly, the stage is being set for the 'rise' of the antichrist from a revived Roman Empire. Only a few people of GOD, would debate that we are not living in the end times.
A Tale of Two Cities
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of darkness,” writes Charles Dickens in his classic A Tale of Two Cities. The Bible presents another tale of two cities from Genesis to Revelation identified as Jerusalem and Babylon. Jerusalem is the city of God and Babylon is the city of satan. Both stand at odds to one another.
The Bible depicts Babylon as the beginning and continual nurturing of the kingdom of man (Gen. 11:1-9). The satanic reign of antichrist incorporates all economical, political, religious, and social aspects that are identified with Babylon. Daniel describes Babylon as the beginning of the Gentile kingdoms that will dominate earth’s history during the “times of the Gentiles” (Dan. 2, 7; Jer. 30:7; Luke. 21:24). This period will not end until Christ returns to the earth in judgment.
Babylon will be revived in the end times to play a significant role in the Great Tribulation (Rev. 14:8; 16:19; 17-18).
Revelation 17-18 depicts Babylon as the fountainhead of all godless economy, government, and religion. Nearly all ungodliness during the Tribulation period is connected to Babylon.
The apostle John writes / speaks of “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth” (Rev. 17:5). Babylon, or antichrist’s harlot, is the “mother” of all false religion in the end times from Genesis 11 to Revelation 17. All the religions of the world, including an apostate Christianity, will unite with ecclesiastical Babylon during the Tribulation period (Rev. 17).
Nevertheless, GOD at the end of the Great Tribulation will judge these false religions.
The Satanic Trinity
The Satanic trinity will be a counterfeit of the true and living GOD. Satan (representing God the Father), Antichrist (representing God the Son), and the False Prophet (representing God the Holy Spirit) will comprise this false trinity.
The antichrist and the false prophet will work together to encompass a one world government and religion.
The false prophet (or “another beast”) will be the spokesperson for the antichrist (Rev. 16:13; 19:20; 20:10). It is written of the false prophet: “he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image” (Rev. 19:20). He deceives the world through “signs and wonders” to worship the first beast (antichrist).
It is near the end of the Great Tribulation that the antichrist grows weary of the counterfeit religion and makes “her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Rev. 17:16). Both the destiny of the antichrist and the false prophet are to be thrown into the Lake of Fire upon the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Rev. 19:20). satan joins them prior to White Throne Judgment in Rev. 20:10.
Conclusion
Great discernment needs to be exercised today in light of these future prophecies.
The responsibility of each and every Christian is to share the Gospel with the lost and to be looking for the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ. Prior to the Great Tribulation, the Rapture event will occur. I firmly believe the Holy Bible teaches in several passages that Jesus Christ will save His bride (true believers) from the "wrath to come", and then finally the Battle of Armageddon (the Great Supper of GOD) will end the reign of mankind. His Kingdom (Jesus Christ) will know no end. Forevermore. AMEN.
Are You Ready ? Don’t be Left Behind. GOD’s Wrath will pour down upon the earth with great famines, earthquakes, war, disease, and pestilence to name a few!
Anyone refusing the mark of the beast (antichrist) will be put to death. Anyone taking the mark will be damned to the Lake of Fire. These martyrs for Jesus Christ will enter the Kingdom of GOD and be honored. Search the scriptures in the Bible and secure your place in "His Kingdom" to Come!
Don't take my words (a man) for truth, but study the scriptures with the King James translation. The inspired WORD of GOD. The inerrant WORD of GOD will never fail.
