Armageddon is Coming Soon

Let's consider some END TIME EVENTS:

At the close of the seven year reign of the Anti-Christ here on Earth,known as the Great Tribulation Period, there will be a great war known as the Battle of Armageddon.

The Saints have all been in Heaven during the seven year period. All the believers in Jesus Christ,( The Church) have appeared before Jesus Christ our Saviour. This is called the Judgment Seat of Christ. Next comes the Marriage supper of the Lamb. The Lamb takes His Bride (the Church) for His wife. Revelation 19:1-10. Those present for this wedding are: Old Testament Saints from Adam to Jesus, they are the wedding guests: The 144,000 are the witnesses; The angels are attendants: and the New Testament Saint’s is the bride. There is another group, the Tribulation Saint’s (Martyrs) that could be included with the bride or they might be guests with the Old Testament Saints. It is unclear where they fit in.

There are many different views about all of this. We can only say that looking at the information we have, and looking through Earthly eyes at Heavenly things, this view seems logical. I don't like to use that word with Scripture, but I will this time.

I. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST: Rev. 19:11-21;
Matt.24:29-31; Daniel 7:13,14.

II. THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON BEGINS: Rev.19:17

3. The first action: Rev.19:20; Daniel 7:11,8:25; 2 Thess. 2:8,9.
a. The beast and the false prophet take a SWIM in the LAKE OF FIRE. This swim will last through out eternity!
b. Next the fight. V-21 Jesus only has to speak a sound from his mouth and every person’s heart STOPS. They are ALL DEAD! THAT’S ALL , IT’S OVER!!!!!!
c. The fowls immediately start to eat the flesh.

My friend, in order to be on the winning side you must receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of your life. The Bible says no one can come unto the Father but by Jesus Christ the Son of God. I want to see you in Heaven but only the Saved will be there. You can hear many other so called ways to get to Heaven, but the Bible makes it simple and clear. Believe and repent as the Scriptures have said and be saved today.

Just a simple prayer can do it if you will believe in your heart. Ask Christ to come into your life today. You will never be sorry. If I can help you write me. dgr31@yahoo.com

John prayed: EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS!This is my prayer, can you pray this? Are you ready for the Lord's return?   Dave
