Signs in Sun, Moon, Stars 00:05:04
So much is happening.
And the kickoff events, I think that's your word.
What are some of the kickoff events?
Go ahead.
Well, let me share something.
God gave me a new insight from the, we call it, it's the Olivet Discourse, found in Matthew 24, found in Mark, found in Luke.
Yes.
And I found something in here, it was yesterday, day before, that just kind of hit me with a little bit of freshness to it.
Good.
And in Luke 21, starting at verse 25, it says, And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars.
Yes.
Okay, we've seen signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Yes.
Okay?
And on the earth, distress of nations with perplexity.
We're seeing distress of nations.
Unbelievable.
Like never before.
The sea and the waves roaring.
Take a look at the news right now.
The seas and the waves roaring.
Men's hearts failing them for fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth.
You know what?
The expectation means they see it coming, but it's not here yet.
We got three major hurricanes forming off the east coast that are not here yet.
And I believe it's possible that we're only seeing a preview today.
That this Florence is just a taste of what's coming.
Yes.
Yes, you're right.
Ricky, what scripture did I give you as we just going on the air?
What did I do?
You were talking about the seas and the waves, excuse me, roaring and men's hearts failing them for fear.
And that's the existence of the existence.
And you just read it.
What causes men's heart to fail them for fear?
Hurricanes, tsunamis.
Yes.
This is where we are now, people.
And when this ends, when Luke 21 ends, Matthew 24 comes in.
Jesus is coming back.
Believe it there, people.
Listen to this.
I can't wake you up.
I can see that.
Listen, listen to this.
Now, when these things begin to happen, have it already, have they begun?
Yes.
When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads because your redemption draws near.
Amen.
It doesn't say that when these things begin to happen, that I'll go and reset the clock and I'll give you a few more years.
It doesn't say that.
And in fact, listen to this further.
This is powerful.
It talks about the fig tree.
Okay?
It says, look at the fig tree and all the trees, when they are already budding, you see, you know that summer is near.
Now, near.
Well, the fig tree represents Israel.
And the Old Testament talks about the fig tree budding and putting forth new leaves.
And previously, it talked about the fig tree dying and its bark was white because it was dead.
And it came back to life in 1948.
So when it says in Amos, I will plant Israel in their own land, never to be uprooted again.
That was fulfilled in 1948.
Yes.
Wow.
And when it says right here, it says, That generation shall not pass away till the coming of the Son of Man.
This prophetic year, I keep talking about 70 years.
The prophetic prophetic year that I keep talking about that started last September to this September, it was in the middle of that prophetic year, was the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of Israel.
Yes.
Now, let me show you something because I'm still getting down to this new insight.
It says, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Now, here's the new insight.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
God is not going to change his mind and delay his coming.
We are there, and he's saying right here, my word will not by any means pass away.
That's a good word, Sean.
Listen to this.
That's a good insight.
I love it.
There says, there will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Cares of This Life 00:00:52
God's calendar is written in the sun, the moon, and the stars.
God's calendar is written in the event of the rebirth of Israel, and God is not going to reset his calendar.
And then, listen to the next part.
It says, but take heed to yourselves, least your hearts be weighted down with carousing, drunkenness, and the cares of this life.
That's what happened because I believe, I'll share a little later, I believe that when nothing happened in 2015, the church went to sleep.
And they have gone back to the cares of this life.
That's why people are not preparing today.
Because they've been re-caught up with the cares of this life.
And what does it say?
