ENDTIME SCENARIO   
 

     We are living in the last days of this earth's history.  This earth is waxing old as a garment and very wicked -- killing, lying, unfaithfulness at every turn.  (Hebrew 1:11; 1 Timothy 1:8 -11).  It will not last much longer.  Jesus will come to deliver His remnant of the remnant before man destroys himself totally.  "Trust in the LORD with all your heart.  Lean not upon your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. " (Proverbs 3:5,6)
     God has raised up a remnant who keep His commandments, have the faith of Jesus and the testimony of Jesus.  (Revelation 14:12; 12:17)  In Revelation 19:10, we read that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.  God has promised that He would raise up prophets in the last days to bring His people back to a "Thus saith the LORD".  (Acts 2:17, 18)  The Bible is the Word of God.  It stands fast forever.  (Psalms 33:8-11)  Stand in awe of God and His works (especially of the works of God in our heart and lives and the works of His creation of nature and our bodies which are fearfully and wonderfully made by this most loving God.)  Believe in the LORD God and He will settle and establish you.  Believe His prophets so shall you prosper.  (2 Chronicles 20:20)  Moses said it would be good for all to be chosen of God to be prophets and to prophecy.  (Numbers 11:29; 1 Peter 5:10)
      Why does God have to raise up "prophets" -- people to bring us back to Him and His Word?  Because many false prophets -- teachers have covered the earth with satan's lies about God instead of a "Thus saith the LORD".  (Matthew 24:11, 24)  We, ourselves, get meshed into worldly ways and need to make a paradign shift in our health (spiritual, mental, physical, relational, financial, educational) to come back to God in all areas of our lives.  The Word of God -- The Bible is foundational for us to develop principles of God's love.  He has designed His commandments so that when we study the life of Jesus, listen to and heed His words, we become like Him and understand the commandments better.  The Jewish nation fail and many nations, people and churches have fallen when God's Word was not upheld, reveranced. (Revelation 3:14 - 21)
     The true test for God's people to learn is that God is looking for Christlikeness to be reflected in the ones He will take into His kingdom.   These will go through to meet Jesus in the clouds of glory.  (1 Thessalonians 4:13 -18)  They will love the Word of God, have a personal  relationship with God and will share God's Word with others in the home, maket place and wherever they go.  They will choose to live as Jesus would live and do as He would because they know Jesus and they know the only true God, The LORD God, JEHOVAH, our Father.  (John 17:3)
