I came across this on Facebook and I thought how accurate!

With the incredible amount of time that I have due to the Covid lockdown, I have been studying the book of Revelation with Pastor Hamick’s Cornerstone Chapel. Now when I hear other pastors talking about this book, I listen/read rather than avoiding it. When I did an extensive bible study on the book of Daniel in my church small group, there was a lot of prophecy about the Antichrist which hasn’t happened yet. It’s really remarkable to see how these two books reveal this individual in sync and harmony.

So far three pastors that I respect and have listened to seem to agree with the theological viewpoint that the rapture of believers will happen before the Antichrist comes into power and then the seven years of the Great Tribulation will start. Pastor Hamick believes it’ll be God’s last call for people to receive salvation through Jesus Christ. I agree with him. As we have been reading through what will happen in those seven years on earth, it’ll be most extremely difficult. Of course it’s nothing compared to an eternity in hell.

There are other theological views that the rapture of believers will happen in the middle or at the end of the Great Tribulation. Whatever one’s view, it’s imperative that we never give up in our faith in Jesus Christ or receive the mark of the beast. I heard a story of a Syrian Christian mom amidst their persecution, telling her young children to never renounce their faith in Jesus Christ and that if they shoot at them, it’ll only hurt for a moment and that they’ll meet together in Heaven. I’d imagine this will be a necessary conversation to the new believers during the Great Tribulation.

I remembered my sister telling me about a movie called “Left Behind” by Kirk Cameron which is about the church rapture. I found it on Amazon Prime and watched it. This movie also had the rapture of believers happen before the Antichrist came into his power.

The second temple has to be built in Israel again too. It’ll be in this temple where the Antichrist will be worshipped by the world. In the movie, it’s going up right next to the sacred Islamic dome. I remember reading few years ago that recent archeological discoveries show that the first temple may not be where people think it is. The current wailing wall was not part of the original temple wall. The actual location is farther away and not in a disputed area. Therefore the third temple can be rebuilt. There is a growing number of orthodox and secular Israelites that are working together to rebuild the third temple. Of course, the orthodox rabbinical groups that control the wailing wall don’t like the new discoveries and claim. I wonder what’s happening to this controversy right now in Israel. Furthermore in the book of Daniel it was prophesied that in the last days, God will speak to His Jewish people again and gather them back to their land. We know that Israel was formed in a day as prophesied right after WWII. Additionally, One For Israel ministry has seen explosive viewing of their Hebrew ministry videos by the people in Israel during the covid lockdowns! That means the church will soon see Romans 11 promises! Wow! Anyway, the prophetic words in the books of Daniel and Revelation are unfolding right before my eyes! I’ll have to find these old articles again.

Here is Gary Hamick’s church website for their bible study on the book of Revelation. I started with their study in the year 2020 and he’s now on chapter 19. There’s about 26 messages so far. https://cornerstonechapel.net/?page_id=21

Other pastors who I mentioned are Pastor Greg Laurie and Messianic Jewish Pastor, Amir Tsarfati. I haven’t listened to Derek Prince or David Wilkerson yet but I plan to now.

This Q and A is with Amir Tsarfati and it was excellent if you want to subscribe to his weekly e-newsletters for Middle East updates. https://youtu.be/H-eiC7xhzbc

I like to re-read this mature Christian man’s visit to hell to remind myself about what is at stake. – https://soulchoiceministries.org/teachings/23-minutes-hell-8-minute-version/

One for Israel reports on the miracles in 🇮🇱! Wow this is incredible! https://youtu.be/TWdEguZBvEY

Romans 11:15
For if their [present] rejection [of salvation] is for the reconciliation of the world [to God], what will their acceptance [of salvation] be but [nothing less than] life from the dead?

1/30 – https://www.jewishvoice.org/read/article/update-building-third-temple (Jewish Voice ministry is a good messianic charity group. They did a nice job of putting together the latest update on rebuilding the Third Temple. Oh my the Sanhedrin group during Jesus’ days is back in the scene! I’m still looking for the resource that I mentioned earlier.)

2/1 – I found it!! Praise the Lord! https://youtu.be/oKTO8YYs29c Here is another one that I just watched which also says the same message. https://youtu.be/yTSCQgZirts
