Preparing for the End of Time

The Lord is Coming!   Are you ready?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-uh-oo-uh) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of the Lord. This is the 4th day of the 3rd month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6013 Anno Mundi.

It is about three months until the Fall Sabbaths begin with Trumpets Sabbath on the evening of the 1st day of the 7th month (Sunday, September 20 on the 2009 Gregorian calendar, beginning sunset on Saturday, September 19).

This year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination agree with my understanding of the Gregorian Calendar dates for God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the apostate Jewish Calendar are two days earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall.

I was a bit depressed at Pentecost because I wish I could participate in a "holy convocation" with other believers. So it was just my wife and I, which is of course very good company. There are a few in this area who are interested and considering observing God's Holy Days but are not quite there just yet. I am so excited and eager to share these truths I have been studying with other people. I keep my eyes open for opportunities to witness to those who are willing to listen though I feel a dark cloud over me because I have been ordered not to speak openly of my studies both at work and at the church by the highest authorities at each location.

I believe very strongly that God will direct and provide more opportunities for me to witness to His truth. I feel like this is a time of preparation for me to develop the understanding that I will need to more openly help people to understand God's purpose. Censure and persecution are teaching me patience and gentleness in my presentation style.

I am also a little down because with Pentecost past and no sign of the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit in power it definitely means the Messiah is not returning this year. I am not surprised because I am still waiting for the work of the Third Elijah. This is the very next event I suspect from my study of prophecy.

I dabble in an interesting online social gathering called "Yahoo! Answers". I read some of the questions and answers that people have written in the "Religion & Spirituality section. This is a recent related question and my answer.

Question:

Fellow Christians, How much time do you think we have based on Revelation?

As you may or may not realize, according to prophecy, several events that were to take place have already come to pass. Unless I'm mistaken, a global war has yet to be fought. And there are several other events that have yet to take place before the world as we know it comes to an end. By what we see on the News and the chaos that is taking place as we speak (which will no doubt continue to worsen as time goes on), how much time do you think we have til the main event occurs?

Ok. I'm not looking for an exact date or anything of that nature.

What I'm asking is, is there one main event to look for that has yet to take place? As far as time goes, would a lifetime be stretching it?

My answer:

There are a very few things left to happen which are hidden in the deepest corners of prophecies, which are still not well understood.

One of the most specific of these prophecies is not even in Daniel or Revelation. Many Jews have a better understanding of this than Christians, despite their rejection of the Messiah. In Malachi chapter 4 verse 5, God in His own voice is clearly recorded as stating, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord".

The Saviour validated this concept in Mat 17:11 and introduced the idea of a future (Third) Elijah which "shall first come" and the (Second) Elijah, John the Baptist, which had come already. You can read more at the website, if you are interested.

There are a couple of other significant things at the very end but that will do for now. I doubt that we have more than a couple of years in this "stable" (Hah, what a laugh) period. Our personal end may come today for any of us but it is not long before it comes for all of us.

So many people seem to be overly focused on things like the economy, the government, Rome, Israel, and other similar things. These things are valuable and they do give signs but I think there is a more important focus. There is a point I make in my book that I want to emphasize. Preparing for the end of time is primarily a spiritual preparation. A more critical focus is to watch for spiritual developments. We need to be preparing ourselves by deep Bible study to witness in the end of time. We need to know the events that are part of the spiritual preparation for the end of time. The final gospel message has not even been presented to the whole church yet much less the whole world. This is what we expect:

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

These are the major spiritual events I see:

1. The first phase of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the spread of doctrine, highlighted by the appearance of the Third Elijah, with the message for the church. I strongly suspect this will begin on one of God's Holy Days. Possibly the second yearly Sabbath of Unleavened Bread.

Malachi 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Any final message other than this is a fraud and distraction. I know these are strong words but I am increasingly and strongly convinced of this truth.

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Acts 17:30-31
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

2. The second phase of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with power on Pentecost. The beginning of the sealing starting with the 144,000 who will lead the proclamation of the message of the Fourth Angel to the world.

Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

3. The close of probation and the final sealing on the Day of Atonement.

Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

Is your study of the Bible leading you to see specific important spiritual events to come?

I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-uh-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
