Time Text
Signs of the End Times 00:07:13
Where are we right now, Rick?
On the prophetic timeline, people wonder, where are we?
And people are being locked in their basements and, you know, just not going out.
The world is really confused right now.
Where are we in the prophetic timeline, do you think?
And what's going to happen next?
Well, you know, we're, you know, the Lord said that this would be a time of deception.
First thing he said when his disciples asked him about the signs of the end of the age, first thing he said was, don't be deceived.
Because we are in a time of major deception, and it is bizarre, some of the deception that comes out in our news and everything else.
Deception is almost a hallmark of the times.
The reality of truth of what's going on is almost the opposite of what much of the secular media is talking about.
But I think the biggest news of all is the news that's going on in God's kingdom.
And, you know, his kingdom is far bigger than the earth.
I mean, the universe is his kingdom, but it's coming to the earth.
And to me, we're going to start now to focus more on the good news.
That's what gospel means.
The gospel of the kingdom has not yet been preached.
And one of the things Jesus said had to happen was the gospel of his kingdom had to be preached everywhere throughout the world.
And I think we're about to start to see that good news of his kingdom preached.
We're in the time of Isaiah 60 where darkness is covering the earth and deep darkness the people.
But he also said that's the time when his glory would come and his glory would appear on his people.
And then in verse 3 there, he says, and the nations will come to the brightness of your rising.
The light is going to win.
The nations are going to come to the light.
And he goes on, next few verses, your sons and daughters will come from afar.
Everything is going to be restored.
But we're going through this transition time.
Paul said in Acts 14, 22, he said, through many tribulations shall we go enter the kingdom of God.
Now, I believe that speaks of first in every tribulation or every trial, a tribulation is a trial, there's a gateway to the kingdom.
There is, you know, trouble in the world.
You have tribulation.
I think in America, we're facing the ultimate issues.
We're in an ultimate battle against either tyranny.
We're going to have either the ultimate tyranny or a greater liberty than we've ever known.
I think we're, you know, Jesus said one of the signs of the end of the age would be racism, the battle with racism.
And the way he said it was nation would rise against nation.
And of course, the Greek word translated nation there is the Greek word ethnos from which we derive our English word ethnic.
He wasn't talking about countries fighting each other, but about ethnic conflict.
And that's what we're seeing.
We're seeing it rise in our country.
It's rising all over the world.
It's a sign of the end of the age.
But he said his house would be a house of prayer for all ethnos.
When he said all nations, same word, where we're going to see his house be the place where people from every tribe and every nation, every culture come together in unity, and it's going to be such a unity of diversity that the whole world, as Jesus prayed in John 17, his last, the prayer before he was crucified,
where he prayed that for the unity of his people so that the world would know he had been sent by the Father, that kind of unity is going to start coming in the body of Christ.
As the clash and conflict in the world grows, you're going to see an increasing unity in God's people.
I think we're starting to see some of that.
And again, I am just shocked.
I didn't know this program was going to air on 9-11.
I wasn't even thinking about it, but how fitting this tower that meant so much to the kingdom.
And I think it's such a symbol.
For many, it was a symbol of the failure of God to finish what He starts.
But God always finishes what He starts.
He does not begin a work in us He will not complete.
I think the completion of that tower is going to be a major symbol, a major prophetic sign.
And it's happening on the same day that two of the most famous towers that men have built were brought down by the conflict among peoples.
Well, we're going to see the opposite in every way start to manifest: God's kingdom versus what's going on in the world.
But in the world, things are going to get really tough for a while.
They're going to get increasingly difficult.
But I think the things that God is doing is going to be so wonderful, so exciting, so fulfilling.
The other, we're just going to hardly be able to pay any attention to.
Oh, that's just some tribulations, some troubles going on.
Look at what God's doing.
And so we're entering those times.
I think the greatest, most exciting times we could have ever been on this earth, here we are.
We get to be here.
I think many people, and I'm believing it for you, when they get to their 80s, they're going to start getting younger and younger and younger.
And, you know, one of the gifts of healing I would like to have is healing old age and give to heal old age because nobody likes going through it.
But guess what?
The Lord called it a glory.
He said our gray hair was a glory.
And that we would, I think we're going to start to be so thankful that we got to this age.
We're this age now.
And we get to do this.
But I also, he says his spirit will quicken our mortal bodies.
That's what happened to Moses.
I think we're going to start seeing a quickening of our physical bodies, our mortal bodies, as we get older.
That's what we're praying for those who live in our heritage tower that we're going to complete or towers and the community here where people don't come here to retire and just fade away.
Refirement Center Vision 00:00:37
They come to refire.
That's why we call it a refirement center, not a retirement center.
They're going to get younger, stronger.
They're going to live longer with vision and purpose and accomplish many of their greatest things in their senior years.
But also, our school is growing.
Our schools are K through 12, our Morningstar University.
And we need elders for those schools, for all the kids that are here.
