Ref.       James 5:7-9 - Patience and Endurance

7 Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. 8 You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

 9 Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door!

 

 Ref.   Acts 2:17-18

17 In the last days,’ God says, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions,  and your old men will dream dreams.
 18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike -  and they will prophesy.
 

Ref. Isaiah 11:11-12, 14

11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people—
   those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt;  in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam;
   in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
 12 He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles of Israel. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.

 13 Then at last the jealousy between Israel and Judah will end. They will not be rivals anymore.
 14 They will join forces to swoop down on Philistia to the west. Together they will attack and plunder the nations to the east. They will occupy the lands of Edom and Moab, and Ammon will obey them.

Ref. Isaiah 43:5-6

5 “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
      I will gather you and your children from east and west.
 6 I will say to the north and south,
      ‘Bring my sons and daughters back to Israel
      from the distant corners of the earth.

Ref. Isaiah 40:31

31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
      They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

 

Ref. Jeremiah 31:8-11, 

 8 For I will bring them from the north and from the distant corners of the earth.
   I will not forget the blind and lame, the expectant mothers and women in labor.
      A great company will return!
 9 Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care.
   They will walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where they will not stumble.
   For I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my oldest child.

 10 “Listen to this message from the Lord, you nations of the world; proclaim it in distant coastlands:  The Lord, who scattered his people, will gather them and watch over them
      as a shepherd does his flock.
 11 For the Lord has redeemed Israel from those too strong for them.

Ref. Jeremiah 23: 7-8

7 “In that day,” says the Lord, “when people are taking an oath, they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt.’ 8 Instead, they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the people of Israel back to their own land from the land of the north and from all the countries to which he had exiled them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”

 

 

Jesus will not return until these prophecies are fulfilled…….

 

The reasons why we are in the time of the end:

  1. May 14, 1948 – Israel is a nation
  2. Jerusalem – is the Capital of Israel, 1967.
  3. Jews returns to there country.
  4. Ability to reach the world with the Gospel. Technology is here.(Matthew 24:14)
  5. Empires to coalition of Nations ex. E.U. over 30 nations, Turkey maybe joining soon. Ref.  Rev. 16:12, 17:12
  6. Merging of Christians and Jews. (Romans 11:11-36)

 

 

So what does this tell you....

The only thing left is the "Rapture"  - 1 Thess. 4:16-17

and then the 7 year tribulation - Daniel 9:27

and then the Second coming of Jesus Christ. -  Matthew 24
