sendai, Japan2011 Earthquake and tsunami

On Saturday, March 12, 2011, at 3:14 mid-after-noon, a great earthquake of 9.0 magnitude struck Japan; producing a very powerful tsunami.

A massive wave of water, in excess of thirty-feet high, struck the northeast coast of Japan. The focal point became the city of

Sendai and its adjacent nuclear plant. The immense destruction is almost immeasurable. The death toll, as of this writing, is estimated in the thousands.

This is the third “great” earthquake in the past six years. All three were powerful enough to actually move the axes of our planet. This particular earthquake has moved the north-south axis eight-to-ten inches. The same axis was moved approximately three inches in December 26, 2006 by another 9.0 magnitude earthquake, which produced the tsunami that took approximately 250,000 lives in a very brief time.

In February 27, 2010, the earthquake that struck the coast of Chile registered a magnitude of 8.8. It moved the east-west axis approximately 3 inches.

All three great earthquakes have slightly shortened our 24-hour day and have begun to move the earth’s axis toward perfection, as prophesied by Isaiah 13:13. Notice, this movement occurs on the day of the Lord’s fierce anger, which is the last day of the Tribulation. It is on that day the earthquake of Revelation 6:12 will move the earth and restore both of the earth’s axes to perfec-tion for the 1,000 year reign of our Lord Jesus.

Jesus prophesied: “And there will be great earthquakes in various places” (Luke 21:11). A “great” earthquake must register eight or above on the Richter magnitude scale. In the past six years, we have witnessed great earth-quakes in Indonesia, Chile and now Japan . . . where next?

I am convinced Christians worldwide should begin to pay attention to the prophecies of Holy Scripture; especially those set forth by our Lord. In reality, these upheavals of nature are not only fulfillments of Bible prophecy, but forerunning events of the appearing of Jesus and the beginning of the Tribulation.

God, our Father, has always provided forerunning personalities and events to announce a greater one. The ark of Noah was a forerunner of the Flood. How tragic that no one paid attention. The prophet Jeremiah prophesied well in advance of the coming of the Baby-lonians, and very few listened to him. John the Baptist was a forerunner of the first coming of Jesus. God is merciful and everyone needs to awaken and pay atten-tion. We are witnessing all kinds of announcements declaring Jesus is coming soon. Right now, not many are paying attention, including preachers.

During the seven-year Tribulation Period, there will be times of tremendous upheavals of nature. The first upheaval, which occurs at the very beginning of the Tribulation, is a great earthquake as described in Ezekiel 38:19-22. Notice the effect.

The second massive upheaval also involves an earth-quake (Rev. 8:5). This upheaval takes place at the middle of the Tribulation when the Antichrist invades Israel.

The third and final upheaval of nature begins, and ends, on the last day of the Tribulation. The complete description of this upheaval is found in Revelation 6:12-16. The upheaval is so powerful that the events of Isaiah 13:13 are fulfilled and the topography of the earth is changed: “Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of her place, in the wrath of the lord of hosts and in the day of His fierce anger.”

What is happening to our planet? Nature has joined other voices to declare: “We are in the season of the appearing of Jesus, we do not know the day and hour, but forerunning activities are everywhere.”

The time has come for many in the Body of Christ to repent, be filled with the Spirit, and become a living

Nature’s Upheavals

What is happening to our planet? Nature has joined other voices to declare: “We are in the season of the appearing of Jesus, we do not know the day and hour, but forerunning activities are everywhere.”

image of Jesus. Preachers must stop being hirelings and become Holy Spirit anointed shepherds of God’s flock.

The apostle Paul, in his Roman letter, provides insight and understanding of the end-time unrest of nature. Read carefully this passage from the Amplified version of Romans 8:16-23:

“The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. [But what of that?] For I consider that the suffer-ings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!

“For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expec-tantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it–[yet] with the hope. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corrup-tion [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

“We know that the whole creation [of irrational crea-tures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our mani-festation as God’s sons).”

From these inspired verses, we learn that nature is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God and its release from all that has been imposed upon it. Notice the most intense labor pains begin on the day you and

I step into the final phase of salvation – the glorification of our physical bodies. The event of glorification occurs at the moment of Christ’s appearing so states, John (I John 3:2-3) and Paul’s teaching in First Corinthians 15:51-53 where we are “changed in the twinkling of an eye.”

Presently, the earth is experiencing and revealing premature pains of labor designed to pronounce the return of Jesus and the birth of the Millennium. During the seven years of Tribulation, the earth will undergo the true pains of labor. Let me introduce some of the intense labor pains that occur during the Tribulation:

Wars (Rev. 6:3-4); shortages of food (Rev. 6:5-6); increased death (Rev. 6:7-8); rain comprised of hail, fire and blood (Rev. 8:7); one-third of the Mediterranean Sea becomes blood (Rev. 8:8-9); rivers and springs of water in the areas controlled by the antichrist become blood (Rev. 8:10-11); natural light from sun, moon and stars short-ened (Rev. 8:12-13); five months of demon-controlled locusts released (Rev. 9:1-12); Oriental army begins its thirteen months of military conquest (Rev. 9:13-19); murder, sorcery, sexual immorality and theft become unchecked among the wicked (Rev. 9:21); worship of the image of the Beast introduced (Rev. 13:14-15); mark of the Beast introduced (Rev. 13:16-18); both the antichrist and False Prophet are skilled in awesome deception with lying signs and wonders (Rev. 13:12-14); last seven plagues (Rev. 16); Battle of armageddon (Zech. 14 and Rev. 19:11-21).

I do not believe anyone looks forward to remaining on the earth and undergoing these labor pains. They are coming; God’s Word cannot be changed (Matt. 5:18).

Thank God for the gift of His Son, Jesus, and the Holy

Spirit. Accept Jesus and let the Holy Spirit come and abide in you so you may manifest God’s love and mercy toward others. This will allow you to stay “ready” for the Rapture.

The revealed wrath of God and words of the Antichrist are terrifying pains of labor, leading to another age, the reign of Christ. Once Satan has been cast into the bottomless pit and it is shut, he will no longer be the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2), or the god of this world (II Cor. 4:4).

NATURE will respond to restoration without any further upheavals, nothing harmful, and the whole earth filled with the glory of the Lord. The earth’s axes will once again be perfect, as will the four seasons (Gen. 8:22). No more Daylight Savings Time. Each month will be 30 days in length, totaling 360 days in a year for 1,000 years of peace and righteousness under the Lordship of Jesus. There will continue seed time, harvest time, and no crop failures unless people (mortals) refuse to worship the Lordship of Jesus (Zech. 14:16-17).

Our heavenly Father has planned the future of every man, woman and child who receive His Son and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, daily maintains their relation-ship. Our Father’s ways are the best and cannot be super-seded.

Trust explicitly the Father, our Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God. Until the beginning of the millennial reign of our Lord, He can still calm the raging waters of life and cause the winds of the storm to lie still.

The Day of the Lord (4-CD Set)Although many well-meaning voices may tell you otherwise, Jesus is Lord over the Tribulation Period, not Satan. The Day of the Lord begins with the Rapture of the Church (II Pet. 3:9) and continues through the Tribulation and the Millennium. Prophecies are leading up to the day when Jesus will shout, “Come up here!” Find out more through this series by Dr. Sutton.

The Importance of Bible Prophecy

PROPHecy IN PROGReSS

t the moment, prophecies are a dime a dozen. Never in my more than sixty years in the ministry have I

witnessed so many professing to be a “prophet” or “proph-etess.” One would find it difficult to discover a truly called prophet among them as deception is rampant in their camp. Much too often their motivation is control and money. Here are biblical instructions designed to protect you from “wannabe” prophets:

“’But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’–when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him” (Deut. 18:20-22).

“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’ –which you have not known– ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him” (Deut. 13:1-5).

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many . . . For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matt. 24:4-5, 24).

“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedi-ence . . . Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise” (Eph. 5:6; I Cor. 3:18).

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition . . . But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived . . . Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness

is righteous, just as He is righteous” (II Thess. 2:3; II Tim. 3:13; I John 3:7).Christians must get their eyes off of “personalities” and

once again upon Jesus. Christians who run after a gift are like the religious who sought for a sign in Jesus’ day. Learn to judge what is being spoken or done without judging the person. Here are excellent biblical instructions, which if not used, leave one open to deception:

“But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one . . . Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (I Cor. 2:15; I John 4:1-2).

If one is truly spiritual, they follow instructions. The Importance of Bible Prophecy. Prophecies contribute a good thirty percent of the Bible’s content. They are of great importance to every believer or God would not have given this subject such a commanding position in His book. God did not add the prophecies of the Scripture just so His book would be a big thick one.

The prophecies of Holy Scripture provide the only accu-rate insight to one’s future, and the future of the world and mankind. If God had not wanted us to know the future in detail, He would not have placed the information in the Bible.

The first prophetic utterance from God was to the serpent (Satan) after he deceived Eve. It was, “The seed of the woman will bruise your head” (Gen 3:15). Four thousand years later, the seed of the woman, Jesus, did that very thing. Satan has opposed Bible prophecies from that day until this one.

Old Testament Prophecies. In the Old Testament, proph-ets were the choice vehicle through which God spoke to His people. There were forty-one known prophets and prophet-esses used by God during the 4,000-year period of the Old Testament. Of the forty-one, only six were women, includ-ing Anna about whom we read in Luke 2:36-38. She was the last of the Old Testament group. Sixteen prophets, beginning with Isaiah, gave us books of the Bible. The Old Testament prophetic books not only develop the future of Israel, but also lay the groundwork for the coming of Jesus and the Church.

Old Testament prophecies foretold the birth of Jesus and the city in which the event would happen. Isaiah chap-ter 53 reveals the suffering Jesus would undergo in order to provide salvation to us all. The study of the Old Testament, all thirty-nine books, establishes a foundation for the New Testament and its twenty-seven books. Without the founda-tion supplied by the Old Testament, one is never quite the servant they could have been.

The Old Testament prophecies not only reveal one’s future, but the majestically wonderful plan of God for all mankind, provided they accept His son, Jesus. New Testament Prophecies. The New Testament begins with Jesus standing and ministering in all the offices of His anointing: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. From the office of prophet, He prophesies: (1) His ministry, (2) the coming of the other helper (the Holy Spirit), (3) His death and resurrection, and (4) the beginning of the Church.

Jesus’ Olivet Discourse prophecies found in Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13, and Luke chapter 21 cover a time frame from the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. to the end of the Tribulation. Paul, James, Peter, John and the book of Revelation provide the prophetic insight in the continuing of the New Testament. The apostles occasionally stepped into the office of prophet to continue establishing the Word. Once the canon of the Word, no one since John and the Revelation is permitted to create additions to the Holy Scriptures (see Matt. 5:18; Rev. 22:18-19).

One with an insight to Bible prophecy is able to discern the “signs of the times.” Such discernment is vital to being ready for the appearing of Jesus and meeting Him in the air. Any believer who cannot discern the signs of the

times is usually lukewarm (Rev. 3:14-19). By yielding to their fleshly nature, they will be left behind at His appearing. Soul winning is the result of discerning the signs of the times. One who understands God’s plan and timetable is lovingly motivated for the salvation of others.

Studying the Bible, paying close attention to the prophe-cies of Jesus, Paul, James, Peter, John and the exciting book of hope, Revelation, causes one to live and walk by faith; thus, serving the Lord, winning others to Jesus, and remaining ready for the Rapture. Presently, the Christians in our nation, for the most part, are asleep, dull of spirit, self-centered and unexciting, which reveals they are not discerning the signs of the times.

The majority of our Bible schools do not offer a course in eschatology, which is the study of the end times. The few seminaries that offer courses too often emphasize the doom, gloom and fear version. Only small companies of preachers are comfortable with Bible prophecy. When it comes to the event of the appearing of Jesus to cause the resurrection and the Rapture, most ministers are not sure about their personal theology. Such uncertainty causes them to seldom preach on the subject. Discerning of Spirits. One of the gifts of the Spirit provided for our benefit is the discerning of spirits (I Cor. 12:10). Discern-ment is of great importance to the individual believer and, especially, the Body of Christ. Every pastor should desire this gift for the benefit and protection of his congregation. Discernment of spirits is extremely necessary at this present time. “Winds of doctrine” and abuse of the gift of prophecy makes discernment absolutely necessary.

This gift, which enables a believer to try the spirits and properly judge what is being taught, works by the Holy Spirit so states Paul in First Corinthians 12:11. The gift of discern-ing of spirits is not designed to cause suspicion. It is moti-vated by love and will keep one from following a wrong spirit of a person who is preaching a false doctrine. Truly it was designed, by our heavenly Father, for our protection and to enable us to stay on the path of righteousness.

Notice the perfect order of Holy Scripture. The gifts of the spirit accompanied the initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The early church enjoyed and benefited from the proper use

of the nine gifts of the Spirit. Today, there is seldom a true manifestation of any

one of the gifts. Many have been taught that the gifts either passed away or are no longer needed. How tragic!

As we, more rapidly than ever, approach the appearing of Jesus and the Rapture, Satan has pulled out the stops and released every form of deception. Remember, Jesus and Paul both prophesied these things to put you and me on guard. If smart, we stay filled with the Holy Spirit, pray in tongues, and use the gift of discerning of spirits.

Here is a simple word of advice from a “father in the faith.” Although someone may call himself or herself a prophet, and prophesy by the gift of prophecy, DOES NOT MAKE THEM A PROPHET. According to the teachings of Paul, all may proph-esy in divine order. John writes in Revelation 19:10 this very interesting truth: When you or I share our testimony with another, we are prophesying. Was Nostradamus a Prophet? Often via television, there is a program about Nostradamus. I never cease being surprised that many have come to believe he was a great prophet. I have heard him discussed by Christians and, occasionally, by a member of the clergy. Here are the facts concerning Nostradamus.

He was born in 1503 as Michel de Nostredame and died in 1566. He assumed the name of Nostradamus and was a well-known French astrologer of Jewish origin. After study-ing humanity and philosophy, he took the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He acquired great distinction by his labors during outbreaks of the plague. In 1555, he published a book of rhymed prophecies entitled Centuries. The book received the attention of Catherine dé Medici, Queen of France, who shared Nostradamus’ interest in astrology. In 1588, he

published a larger edition with a dedication to Catherine’s husband, King Henry II. The seeming fulfillment of some of his predictions increased his influence. The Centuries of Nostradamus have been frequently reprinted (This informa-tion courtesy Encyclopedia Britannica).

Please notice he was not a prophet of God, but an astrolo-ger. Astrology is forbidden by God (Isa. 47:12-14; Deut. 4:19; 5:7-9). any form of astrology is witchcraft. Anyone can make predictions based on the activities of nature, world affairs, or the economy and be somewhat accurate on occasion; however, an astrologer is one possessed by a familiar spirit, a demon.

Unless God calls one into the prophetic office of His son, Jesus, they have no right to the title of “prophet.” Anything such a person says or does must be examined. Should it not stand up to testing and judgment by the Holy Scriptures, God had nothing to do with the so-called proph-esy. Too often men or women who declare themselves to be a prophet, and are not called, are into “charismatic witchcraft.”

Charismatic witchcraft is the improper use of one or more of the gifts of the Spirit in order to create a following and, certainly, raise money. It boils down to control of people, which is a major characteristic of witchcraft. The two gifts excessively used and abused are the gifts of prophecy and healing.

I recently observed some of their advertisements and noticed the emphasis on healing and prophecy. I offer this word of warning: When gifts of the Holy Spirit are abused, people who do not know the Scripture can be deceived. Do not be among them. Study to show yourself approved (II Tim. 2:15).

This series ties all three accounts together and answers the three questions posed by the disciples for our understanding.

Understanding Bible Prophec y ( 2 - C D S e t o r D V D )Sound interpretation of Bible prophecy requires knowledge of some basic interpretive principles. You will be uplifted and edified as you learn what you have been missing.

By Ron JutzeThere are certain events that, as a result of their occurrence, have a profound impact on our lives, culture and history. The ripple effects from these certain events have generational

waves, which help to shape our modern way of life. Consider, for example, the birth of Ben Franklin and his delivery of elec-tricity, or, Thomas Edison and the light bulb. A more contem-porary example is when man touched down on the moon in 1969. Technological development exploded in our world as a result of that unprecedented occurrence. We are still experi-encing generational waves from that event. Just think of the satellite capability we have access to today. Can you imagine functioning without your cell phone, satellite dish or GPS?

The birth of Jesus Christ was a prophesied event. The Scrip-ture declared His being born of a virgin as a sign from God (Isa. 7:14). His birth in Bethlehem was a fulfillment of prophecy (Mic. 5:2-3; Matt. 2:5-6). When the angels appeared to the shepherds, they spoke of Jesus’ birth as a fulfillment of Isaiah’s proph-esy; it was “good news of great joy for all people” (Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 2:10-13). The sign would be finding a babe wrapped in swad-dling clothes lying in a manger. You see, when Jesus was born into this world, all of humanity was going to be profoundly impacted. God was confirming His Word by walking among His creation: Immanuel – God with us.

Although Jesus’ birth and life was a sign from heaven, the people of that time did not recognize the day of their visita-tion. This brought sorrow to the heart of God as seen when Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44) because they did not discern the sign of the time as prophesized by Isaiah.

What does this mean to us today? Jesus describes certain signs as the beginning of labor pains as in childbirth. “All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matt. 24:8). A woman has certain signs that indicate the beginning of the labor process. These are typically referred to as “labor pains.” The Hebrew definition for the term “beginning of sorrows” is “birth pains.” It denotes pregnancy and employs the metaphor of child-birth. These labor pains are those birth pains that precede delivery; the fulfillment of the pregnancy term to give birth to a new life.

When the seed of a man is conceived in a woman, a new

life is initiated (pregnancy stage). As that life develops and matures, it comes to the season of delivery, and labor pains are introduced. The labor pains indicate this life has run full-term and is now about to be birthed (birthing stage).

The Bible reveals that the Word of God is the seed of God (Luke 8:11; I Pet.1:23). Therefore, God’s Word has the very life of God in it (Heb. 4:12; John 6:63). The prophecies declared by God in His Word are alive; He is watching over them to perform them in their time and season. God has been proclaiming His Word over the earth, nations and generations for thousands of years. The earth is now pregnant with these “prophecies of the Scripture.” As this term continues, the developments of these prophetic Scriptures are causing labor pains to be experienced in the earth (Matt. 24; Luke 21).

Child of God, a new season is about to be birthed in the earth. It is the return of Christ, which gives place to His millennial reign. The millennial reign of Christ is the birthing of a new dispensation, a new era. However, before that can happen, Jesus said there will be definite signs (labor pains) in the earth. These signs are the prelude to the catching away of the follower of Christ. We know we are in that season because the signs of the times, to which Jesus referred, are recorded in the book of Luke.

Let us take a closer look at a few of these signs, or labor pains, and watch the chronological order of these events: 1. Jerusalem was controlled by Gentiles until 1967. “And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:24). Babylon, under King Nebuchadnezzar, rose up and captured the city of Jerusalem and Solomon’s Temple around 600 B.C. Jerusalem remained under foreign control until 1967. Even after Israel became a nation in 1948, Jordan still occupied eastern Jerusalem and its holy sites. Jerusalem was divided. Jews were expelled from eastern Jerusalem and barred from visiting their holy places. As a result of the Six Day War, the entire city of Jerusalem and its holy sites came back under Jewish control. The time of Gentile control ended with the Six Day War of 1967. 2. Man invades the stratosphere in 1968. “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars” (Luke 21:25). At the close of 1968, Apollo 8 orbited the moon for the first time. On Christmas Eve of 1968, the astronauts of Apollo 8 gave a surprising Christmas message to the people of the earth. Major Anders read the opening verses from the book

is experiencing labor Pains

8

of Genesis about the creation of the earth: “In the begin-ning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” Captain Lovell then read, “And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.” Colonel Borman closed the reading with: “And God called the dry land Earth; and the gath-ering together of the water called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.” God’s word being read from the stratosphere! This opened the door to Man landing on the moon in 1969, followed by the first Viking landing on Mars in 1976. The truth is we have discovered more of our galaxy in the past fifty years than any other generation in history. 3. Today’s distress and unrest of nations. “And on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25). Remember the Horn of Africa drought that claimed the lives of nearly one million people in 1983-85? How about the heat wave in Europe that killed over 35,000 people in the summer of 2003? This heat wave led to a health crises in several countries and, combined with its drought, created a crop shortfall in many nations in southern Europe. The United Kingdom, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany and Switzerland were all affected. When was the last time you heard of a heat wave sweeping through Europe?

What about the rapid occurrences of earthquakes and tsunamis in the earth? Most recently, of course, is the 9.0 earthquake last month off the east coast of Honshu, Japan.

The subsequent tsunami left the affected regions in a sham-bles. As such, Japan has sadly joined the large ranks of nations that have faced terrible earthquakes and tsunamis.

With the world’s eyes and ears on Japan at this moment, many are asking “Why did this happen and what does it mean?” Some have said this is the “judgment of God,” while others may comment that it is the “attack of the enemy.” However, these labor pains are neither an act of God’s wrath (judgment) nor an act of the enemy. These are among the upheavals of nature prophesied by our Lord Jesus in Matthew 24:7-8: “There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

The earth is experiencing labor pains. “For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time” (Rom. 8:22, NLT). There is a closing out of one dispensation to give birth to another. It is time for us, as believers in Jesus Christ, to be serious about our mission. We are to be about the Master’s business sharing the Gospel and extending the compassion of Christ to everyone in our sphere of influence. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come” (Matt 24:14).

Jesus is coming soon! It is time to be about the Master’s business before He returns.

The Signs of the Times by Ron Jutze (2-CD Set $15.00)Jesus spoke about the importance of discerning the signs of the times. This series reveals certain modern-day “signs” that are the fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecies. These signs point to the fact that the coming of the Lord is at hand. See page 10 to order.
