\"\"“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”<\/em> (Dan 12:1-4)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(1) The “time of distress” has to do with the great tribulation period. Cf. Dan8:17; Mat24:32-34 (the fig tree is a symbol of Israel); Rev4:1 may well speak to the rapture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(2) “Those with insight” has regard to end time believers who are given spiritual understanding and prophetic insight into the end times and are thus able to turn many to the Lord. (Includes a great gospel movement into Islam.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(3) Parts of Daniel would be sealed for the last generation. Not even Daniel understood some of what he was given as prophecy. (1Pet1:10-12) Paul was also given special insight into the end time but was not allowed to share what he heard and saw. Cf. 2Co12:2-4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the rabbis placed a curse on anyone who tried to calculate the times by using Daniel. Daniel not only set forth the timing for the first coming of Jesus, he also set forth the timing for the second coming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(4) “Knowledge will increase” has to do with the flow of revelation and understanding given to God’s end time people from the prophetic writings. It likely allows for an increase of human knowledge on all levels including communication and technology. The revolution in Egypt can largely be traced to Tweeter and Facebook and other forms of communication.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ournal,<\/p>\n

I want to encourage my readers to preview the two preceding entries on ‘Egypt and the World of Islam.’ (#1 and #2)<\/p>\n

The whole world is in wonderment at what is happening in Egypt now. Of course this is only the forefront for the continual unveiling of God’s end time program of redemption. Muslims have been in upheavals for a few years; war in Iraq, in Afghanistan, disturbances in Iran, in Pakistan, in fact all across the Isl?mic nations.<\/p>\n

I shared in an earlier entry how Satan raised up Mohammed to create an antichrist religion that has held untold millions of souls in the bondage of darkness. What is happening in Egypt and the middle east is merely a precursor to prophetic events that are unfolding in the days ahead.\u00a0The end time battle lines have long been drawn. The clock is ticking.\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that God’s time clock of redemption did not begin with this revolution in Egypt. God’s time clock was set in motion on May 14, 1948, when Israel became once again a nation among nations. (Isa66:8) It is likely that God\u2019s prophetic seventy year wrap for this age as we know it began on that date. (Go to the entry prior to this one for how the principle of seventy figures into prophecy.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a quote from my last entry:<\/p>\n

The place to begin is to understand the role that Islam plays with regard to the second coming. Here is the scene \u2013 Satan has always known that God\u2019s plan of redemption completes itself with the second coming of Jesus to Jerusalem. Therefore his major line of defense has been to create a false gospel that would get around the true gospel. This false gospel would honor Jesus as one of the great Messengers of God. However, it would disallow how the gospel of Jesus saves people. This false gospel would find its center in the nations surrounding Israel. Herein you have Islam.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/p>\n

Leave room for adjustments<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With regard to end time events it is important not to nail things down too tightly. Leave room for adjustments. In some prophecies you will see both the first and the second coming of Jesus. Prophecy is not always laid out in an exact time sequence. The Holy Spirit is the One who helps us see how things are falling into place. However, we are seeing the end time prophetic picture unfold in a way never seen.<\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019ve tried to stress in these entries is how very important the Old Testaments prophets are with regard to God\u2019s plan for the ages. They often prophesied far beyond their own experiences. As I shared earlier, the New Testament church was not some upstart religion. The Christian faith is literally a fulfilling of what had been spoken by God\u2019s ancient servants.<\/p>\n

Consider these Scriptures:<\/p>\n

“I sent you [apostles] to reap that for which you have not labored; others [OT prophets] have labored and you have entered into their labor.”<\/em> (Joh 4:38)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd He said to them, \u2018O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?\u2019 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.\u201d<\/em> (Luk 24:25-27)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c \u2026 that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, \u2018Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.\u2019”<\/em> (2Pe 3:2-4)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are two things I want to discuss more fully In this entry. One has to do with what is commonly called the ‘catching away of the church.’ The other has to do with how God’s people should view the events that are now taking place.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin with…<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The People of Christ<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Believers who struggle the most over their salvation are generally those who come from a \u2018works-righteousness\u2019 background. What they don\u2019t understand is that their salvation is wholly of the Lord. No person will ever be saved because they became good enough. We are saved by grace alone.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much I can add to what this dear sister recently wrote. It took a revelation from the Lord to bring total peace to her life.<\/p>\n

Tina is from a Pentecostal background.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From a sister in the Lord<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I just thought I’d share something that happened a few days ago.\u00a0 I was thinking about death and having to face Jesus.\u00a0 I was feeling really scared and wondering if I’d done enough.\u00a0 All of a sudden, I had an image come into my head of Jesus standing there with his arms open.\u00a0 Every time I started to tally up my good vs bad deeds, the image would return.\u00a0 I finally got the message….\u00a0 He is WAITING for me to come home. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All the good, bad, and ugly will stay here on earth.\u00a0 My Savior is standing there waiting for me to come home.\u00a0 Jesus already completed his mission here on earth, now it’s my turn.\u00a0 He is here in spirit (Holy Ghost) helping me through this journey.\u00a0 And when it’s over, I’ll be with him…period, end of sentence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My physical flesh acts like a prison.\u00a0 It keeps me in the shadows where things sometimes become fuzzy and confused.\u00a0 I am living in the domain of evil. The lures of the flesh are almost like being tortured.\u00a0 Sometimes we do things that are wrong before we even catch ourselves or realize that it’s wrong.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Father knew that, and he planned for that, and sent his Son to make a way for us to be made clean.\u00a0 Jesus went back to heaven, but he left the Holy Spirit here to act as a guide through the many pitfalls in life. \u00a0The HS keeps us on the right track.\u00a0 When life is over, I will shed this flesh and go be with HIM!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What a blessing when God puts peace in our hearts and lets us know that we are his!\u00a0 I didn’t speak in tongues or become hysterical, it was just the sweet, presence of God’s spirit that spoke to my heart.\u00a0 That’s what it’s about. That’s what Paul and the apostles tried to get across over and over and over again in the New Testament.\u00a0 Men get tripped up over doctrine, and when they do, they completely miss God’s plan for Salvation and life with him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Catching Away<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The removal of all who belong to Jesus Christ is well taught in the Scriptures. Regardless of the time element involved, and regardless of what a person believes about Pre-trib, Mid-trib, or Post-trib, this truth is well established.<\/p>\n

I’ll share just a bit in brief. Note carefully:<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

\n
“<\/em>For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be <\/span>caught up<\/span><\/strong><\/span> together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”<\/span><\/em> (1Th 4:14-18)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The expression<\/span> ‘caught up’<\/span><\/span> is the Greek word ‘<\/span>harpazo<\/span><\/span>‘ <\/span>[har-pad’-zo<\/em>]<\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0This word is used fourteen times in the New Testament, with the sense of sudden removal from one place to another. In this case it states that believers will be instantly caught up to meet the Lord in the clouds. Notice how Paul said that we are to comfort one another with these words. The second coming of Jesus and all that it entails is a time of glory for the Church. Our being caught up has to do with the marriage feast of the Lamb.<\/span><\/div>\n
x<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Jesus spoke of this in John 14. Many don’t realize that what Jesus shared with the apostles in this setting has the Jewish wedding as its motif. The Ancient Hebrew wedding had two parts. The first was the espousal and the second part was for the bridegroom to actually come for the bride. Here is the setting:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”<\/em> (Joh 14:1-3)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Did you catch it? Look closely. Jesus ascended into heaven and thereby through the cross He has prepared a place for all believers. He is returning at the proper time to receive us to Himself. Because we are already espoused to the Lord, our placement in heaven has already been decreed. Positional we have already been seated with Jesus. Now we are waiting for our full glorification with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is so much more I would like to share but I’ll leave off for \u00a0now. Here is a wonderful song that will minister to your heart. It is titled, <\/span>‘There’s Something in the Air’<\/span><\/span>, by the Lanny Wolfe Trio.<\/span><\/div>\n
