How The Saints Will Survive The End Times


The turmoil in world right now, and even in United States is bound to cause many to become emotionally overwhelmed. It seems that the antichrist could ascend at any moment and begin his campaign against us Christians (Revelation 13:7). Already the Lawlessness is at work against us, and we need to prepare for coming persecution (Revelation 13:7, Revelation 14:12). The answer to how to make it through Last Days is found in Scriptures. The apostle Paul writes, “For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.” (1 Corinthians 11:26). This is pivotal, because to endure to the end (Matthew 24:13) we will need to focus on Christ’s sacrifice. The enemy will be bombarding us with all kinds of mind games and spiritual arrows (Ephesians 6:16) but it is written, “And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, he who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.” (Revelation 12:10-11).  It is evident that weapon to survive the End Times is keeping our eyes and minds fixed upon Christ Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. Indeed, this is why elsewhere it is written, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV). Our faith is founded in Jesus (John 6:40), and His work on the cross and resurrection from dead. While we wait for Jesus to finish our faith with His return (Revelation 1:7) and be with Him in the New Jerusalem, “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.” (Revelation 21:3), we must remember His authorship that began on the cross in His Blood and with nails.  


While we await the Second Coming, and endure persecutions (Revelation 14:12) we must fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2), and remember His death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26), it is by remembering Christ’s sacrifice that will get the saints and all believers through the worse parts of the coming trials and sufferings of the Last Days (Revelation 13:7). We win and stand firm by Blood of Lamb and remembering His death until Jesus Returns, for by focusing on Christ’s redemptive act (Ephesians 1:7) and death on cross, we remind ourselves of His eternal and steadfast love (John 3:16), so that when enemy tries to deceive any believer into thinking God is not justice or cruel, we can point to Jesus Crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2) and say, “He bled for us, I will bleed for Him,” and “He so loved us He died on cross for our sins (John 3:16), so He will not discard us (John 6:37-39), but it with us until end of Ages (Matthew 28:20), and will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).” Christ Crucified is our confidence until He Comes Again. We must fix our hearts and minds on this remembrance, for it will get us through to His Return. In order to endure through Last Days we must fix our eyes on our Lord's Suffering, for then we can keep our hearts and minds soaked in His love. For every weapon in our enemy's arsenal will be used against us Christians, so we must keep our eyes on Christ Crucified, that He shed His own blood out of love for us, by watching this Passion we will have passion to get through the hard times to come.
To survive, keep you eyes on Jesus and His sacrificial love (Hebrews 12:2). We will be able to endure any mind attack, spiritual assault, and even physical harm (Revelation 13:7) if we remember that Jesus loved us so much that He died for us, leaving us a model, "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps," (1 Peter 2:21), "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children," (Ephesians 5:1), and "And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.
So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come." (Hebrews 13:11-14).

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III.

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
