The verse Joel 2:28 holds profound significance, especially in a world yearning for hope and renewal. "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh," begins a promise of divine empowerment and spiritual awakening that resonates deeply with those seeking purpose and connection in their lives. This powerful declaration invites us to reflect on the transformative nature of God's presence among us and how it inspires us to live with intention and faith.
The meaning of Joel 2:28 transcends mere words; it encapsulates a divine promise of inclusivity and empowerment. The phrase “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh” signifies a radical outpouring of divine presence that extends beyond a select few to encompass everyone—men and women, young and old. This verse emphasizes the egalitarian nature of God's Spirit, breaking down societal barriers and inviting all people into a relationship with Him.
In biblical times, prophecy was often reserved for a chosen few, but Joel’s message heralds a new era where everyone can receive divine revelation. This promise is not just about foretelling the future but encompasses the broader idea of living under God’s guidance, being inspired to speak truth, and acting as vessels of His will. The mention of “sons and daughters” indicates the crucial role of the next generation in God’s plan, highlighting the importance of spiritual mentorship and legacy.
This verse is a source of hope, especially in tumultuous times. It serves as a reminder that God is actively involved in our lives and desires to communicate with us directly through His Spirit. In a modern context, believers can find encouragement in knowing that they are empowered to share wisdom, inspire change, and pursue their divine calling.
The context of Joel 2:28 is rooted in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, specifically during a time when the nation of Israel was facing significant challenges, including famine and spiritual desolation. Joel, a prophet, addressed the people of Judah, calling them to repentance and warning them of impending judgment due to their disobedience.
This verse appears within a larger prophetic narrative that speaks of restoration and renewal—after the people turn back to God, He promises to restore what was lost and pour out His Spirit. The chapter emphasizes the importance of collective repentance and returning to the Lord, establishing a framework for understanding God’s grace and mercy.
Historically, Joel’s prophecy also connects with the events of Pentecost in the New Testament, where the Holy Spirit was poured out on the apostles, fulfilling Joel’s words. This continuity between the Old and New Testaments highlights the unchanging nature of God’s promise to be with His people and to empower them through His Spirit.
To be fulfilled on The Day of the LORD: The Spirit poured upon believers amidst a world in calamity
At the same time, we notice that Joel 2:29, and Peter’s quotation of it in Acts 2, also speaks to us about a seemingly apocalyptic scenario: where the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood. How should we understand such an apocalyptic scenario?
In this, we see a reminder of what is to come. By quoting these same verses in Acts 2, Peter emphasizes how the prophecy of Joel will come to pass. In the same way that God has truly poured out His Spirit on His people, Joel’s other prophecies about coming judgement and destruction will also come to pass. God surely has the power to achieve His plans. It’s also helpful for us to consider that other portions of Scripture also speak of the nature of coming judgement and destruction. In Matt 24:39-41, Jesus Himself describes the “coming of the Son of Man”, where natural cycles are all disrupted. And previously, we learn that the day of the Lord will be a day of deep mourning, as Christ is revealed to unbelieving people.
The day of the Lord is therefore the great and awesome day, where Christ Himself appears. Sometimes we dismiss these descriptions in Scripture as another outlandish myth, but perhaps we ought to pause and consider: what does this mean for us? We are people who have received of the Holy Spirit, but have not yet experienced the wonderful and terrifying nature of the day of the Lord. Joel’s prophecy therefore leads us to consider: what do we do, if this will come to pass?
If we know that the day of the Lord is a reality that will come to pass, then we can’t dismiss this prophecy as a short-sighted myth; as something irrelevant to our lives, as sometimes we are tempted to do. Rather, if this day is indeed coming, then we ought to consider how we lead our lives. In these past months, how have you spent your time? In Joel, we are shown how we lament, how we repent. In light of these truths, we ought to consider: are we preparing our hearts for the inevitable day of the Lord? Do we end up living lives without reference to God?
In this current season where many of us are spending more time on video-calls, without much ability to gather due to COVID-19 restrictions, it becomes easy for us to shut off a zoom call, leave a Bible study or our care groups and cell groups, and live as if God did not exist. In this time, our tendency can often be to fixate on other things apart from God: to distract ourselves with entertainment, hobbies, games, and even things that the world considers as productive, like learning new skills. We can do these things without reference to God, entirely.
But as we read Joel 2:29-30, considering how the Day of the Lord as a terrible day, we are confronted with the triviality of these other things we use to distract ourselves. May we be reminded that we cannot live each passing day as just another day, to do whatever we please. But we must live each day with reference to this day of the Lord, this great and awesome day, which will one day come.
Knowing this helps us to see what truly matters, in a world where many things call for our attention. Has God placed in your life people who do not yet know Him? Has He placed in your life people who need help to see more of Him? May we have the urgency and care to share the Gospel with them: because this great and awesome day, this terrifying day, will one day come.
Perhaps some of us who are reading this might also not be a member of a local church. If so, we ought to consider: if God’s judgement is to come, how might you best apply your time in a church that makes Christ known to others?
These are challenging questions to grapple with, and perhaps we might feel weak or discouraged to reflect on them in our lives. However, alongside this depiction of destruction and judgement is also the promise of God’s Spirit that works in our lives. Even in a sinful world, God still strengthens and empowers us to obedience, to do what pleases Him, through His Holy Spirit.
Our considerations about the day of the Lord have been rather heavy, so far in Joel. We consider how it will not just be a day of joy, but a day of deep sorrow and judgement and destruction: a day of foreboding. But thankfully, this passage does not leave us with a mere sense of doom and gloom. Rather, from this passage, we learn about the powerful assurance that God brings to His people.
In Joel 2:32, we learn that “anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved”. We learn from this statement that there is a hope for salvation. Judgement will come, and God is fully righteous to judge; but we know from this verse that if we are to call upon the name of the Lord, salvation is there, and he will save.
What are we being saved from? In the rest of Joel 2:32, we learn about how those in Mount Zion will be those who will escape. In the context of the previous verses, we learn here that there is an escape from God’s wrath, poured out upon unrighteousness and ungodliness. There is a refuge from the storm that will come. And this refuge is not found in us trying in vain to construct some escape for ourselves. This refuge is found in God Himself, the just One who also saves undeserving sinners like us.
We get a sense of the greatness of this salvation in the final lines of Joel 2:32: “among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.” In other words, those whom God saves are also those that He calls. And this is deeply encouraging for us: to remember that our salvation is not dependent on how fall we’ve fallen, to call upon God’s name. Our salvation is not by chance: not a result of a complicated web of human factors that would bring us to God. Rather, we are saved because a gracious God has called us to Himself.
Reading this passage, we might feel weighed down by these descriptions of coming judgement. In a world that often downplays the reality of God’s judgement, these are truths we ought to grapple with prayerfully, rather than sweep them aside. However, if we feel insecure, lost; wondering if this Christ we profess can truly save us from this coming judgement, this passage grants us a deep encouragement. We can know that our salvation is secure. We can know that this God has called us out of our sin, from our cycles of rebellion and disobedience. We once searched and failed to find joy and sustenance in everything else: but we learn today of a God who calls, and is surely able to save us and keep us, until we see Him face to face.
Therefore, even before we called out to God from the depths of our sin, God called out to us first. Before we even knew what to say to this God, this God was active and reached out to us first. There is no way that we can appease a perfect and holy God, not even us calling out to Him in our own. But we rest on the assurance of a God who calls us, who accomplishes salvation for us, in the person of Jesus Christ. (NFS international Bible Study)

AMERICA/WORLD IN CRISIS
Matthew 24:3-8
"And as he (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers' places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
We are living in the beginning of sorrows!
THE WORLD, AMERICA ARE IN CRISIS! There are wars, famine, pestilences, apostasy, deceptions from the highest government in the land to many church houses. Throughout our world and America, we are in crisis! In Afghanistan, Africa, so many nations, countries are dealing with the sacristy of food, availability of work, living necessities, constant violence, pestilences, corruption, children trafficking; America's prisons, homeless population, many churches and their leaders morally failing; In every corner of our land, society, and the world; We are in Spiritual CRISIS!
These are just a few signs that the world is in crisis. AND WE ARE MOVING CLOSER TO THE FULLFILLMENT OF REVELATION! Pay attention.
SO, THE PROPHET DANIEL SAYS, " PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMING RISE OF THE "MAN OF SIN"/ LAWLESSNESS/ ANTI -CHRIST/ ECONOMINC CRISIS IS COMING/ we must stay in prayer and watch, these are the beginning of sorrows!
Daniel 7:25 states: “And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time” (KJV)
This scripture reveals the intent of the coming anti -christ, man of sin, the lawless one. He will rise and come to power. We don't know who he is today; but the season we are in, it is safe to say, we are in the window of his appearing. There are individual(s) having the "signs" and "foreshadowing" of the " spirit of the anti-christ", spirit of the anti-christ, spirit of apostasy, proudful, arrogant, self-righteous, and spiritual blinded by power. We are living in the last days!
Future Eschatological Fulfillment
Daniel chapter 7 records a night vision in the first year of Belshazzar (mid-550s BC). Four successive beasts symbolize four Gentile empires. The final, dreadful beast spawns a “little horn” that usurps authority, blasphemes God, persecutes the faithful, and is finally destroyed by the Ancient of Days. Verse 25 summarizes the horn’s program of sedition: speech against God, war on the saints, and the intent to “change times and law.”
Revelation 13 describes a beast (ANTI CHRSIT/KINGDOM) given “authority to act for forty-two months” (3 ½ years) and to “make war with the saints” (vv.5-7). Paul notes the “man of lawlessness” who “opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). These texts converge with Daniel 7:25: a future global ruler will institute a counterfeit calendar and legal system to erase God’s revelation, yet his reign is strictly limited (“time, times, and half a time”) by divine decree. After the church is raptured " caught out" of the coming calamity, the 7 yrs of tribulation, judgement on earth will begin with a satanic, devil, man empowered by satan, to rule over all aspects of society, and world. (Dan 9/11: Rev 12/13/17)
He will change times and season, Laws to fit his agenda:
The Meaning of “Changing Times”: Meaning of “Changing Laws”
1 – Moral Law: Redefining good and evil; legalizing what God forbids and criminalizing obedience (cf. Isaiah 5:20).
2 – Civil-Religious Law: Centralizing global authority, national constitutions, persecuting conscience.
3 – Covenantal Law: Targeting Israel and the Church, echoing Antiochus’ edicts that banned Torah observance, removing religious freedom.
THIS SCRIPTURE reminds us we are moving towards the opening of the 4 seals in Rev 6, which is called THE TRIBULATION. All the signs in Matt 24 are active today. Wars and rumors of wars, pestilences, apostasy, civil and domestic fighting/conflicts, civil unrest, the beast/anti-christ, will be revealed at the appointed time and move to fulfill all that God has disclosed by His prophets -Daniel, John, Ezekiel, and in the book Revelation. THIS COMING MAN OF SIN will change times and season, laws and governments to rule the entire world. THE REALIGNMENT OF NATION- IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE COMING ONE-WORLD GOVERNEMNT/ RULERSHIP OF THE BEAST;
We must be prepared, repent (turn from willfully sinning/unrighteousness to God) and trust Jesus for the saving of our souls by His death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus is coming again, so the question is , are we ready for the soon coming king?
The "atmosphere " we are witnessing in America are the changing of laws, constitution, voting liberties, removal of DEI, affirmative action, and democracy on a national crisis scale. America is moving AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY TOWARDS A TOTALITARIAN NATION! Any time a sitting president, bypasses congress to enact laws that are favorable to the wealthy and billionaires, regional oil business partners, and Gulf Nations oil allies. This type of signs, behaviors, acts are not in the best interest of America nor her citizens; but it is suspected behavior as breaking the laws of the land and the constitution, and above all, breaching God's spiritual laws, Word of God, by which America was established?
We are witnessing - " anti-Christ" spiritual, lawless behavior, dictator mindset, someone wanting to be worship, respected, idolized, and called a god in the eyes of men. Crisis!!!
Remember: " Signs of the coming anti-christ timeline/ actions:
• Daniel 2:21—Only God rightly changes times.
• Daniel 9:27— “In the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.
• Daniel 12:7—Persecution of the holy people for “a time, times, and half a time.”
• Revelation 11:2-3; 12:6, 14; 13:5—Parallel 42-month/1,260-day periods.
• Matthew 24:15—Jesus identifies the “abomination of desolation” of Daniel as future. The Messiah’s endorsement validates Daniel’s predictive inspiration
We must be in prayer and " pay attention" to the signs before us, as we seeing the day approaching of Jesus return. We are closer than we think!
America is in a downward tailspin! In a dream, God said to me, "I'm going to pluck the wings of Babylon, America!" God is plucking the " wings/favor" grace. God is bringing judgement to America! America and the world are in a crisis! Repent, and call out on the name of the Lord for the saving of our souls!

. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE CHURCH?
In Revelation 17:1 “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, come hither; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:”
In this scripture, this church is the apostate-church, the spiritual prostitute in Rev 17 that sits on many water-meaning nations, tongues, and peoples. This false church rises during the years of the tribulation and has great influence of control of all what call themselves a " church" or "place of worship"; BUT IT IS AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD!
WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY ARE THE PRECURSORS OF THIS COMING ENDTIME APOSTATE-SATAN LED CHURCH. Today, the church is in decline, infiltrated by apostasy, confused, and compromised; She shall be tested as by fire to see what sort it is. There is coming a great day of shaking and only the born again, Spirit filled, blood washed church; Bride of Christ, will come forth and out of the coming judgment. In our scripture, the apostle John was shown the " great whore", apostate church, the lost church, the blind church, the worldly church rising in the last day. This is OUR PRESENT DAY!! We are living in the emerging " apostate church". Yes, the Church of Jesus Christ/ body of believers will be raptured out before this time of judgement. Our modern-day church will transform into a place of ungodly worship (worse than what we see today) Here's a few points to help us understand what's happening to the modern-day church, and what's coming very soon.
Who is "The Whore" described in Rev 17? The Whore is- Greek porne - Meaning “prostitute,” “harlot.” Porne probably goes back to a word meaning “to sell” or “to export for sale” such things as slaves. In Greece prostitutes were usually purchased slaves. The Old Testament prophets often compare apostate Israel, which repeatedly went “a whoring” after heathen gods, (Ezekiel 23:30; cf. Isaiah 23:17; Ezekiel 16:15) with an adulterous woman. Concerning mystical Babylon as a harlot see notes on Revelation 17:5. (cf. verses 2, 4; Revelation 19:2) For Old Testament passages whose thought or wording is similar to that of chapter 17, see Isaiah 47:1; Jeremiah 25:12; 50:1; Ezekiel 26:13. This church is lost, died, and apostate. Its reach is universal, all races, all economic makeup, all demographics, it will impact everyone in the world. She is a "whore" because she abandon her "first love" and went after other lovers. She abandons GOD who birth her, gave His life for her, and she denied Him AND turned to other gods, methods of worship, IDOLS! THIS WILL BRING SEVER JUDGEMENT UPON THE FALSE CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS!
This church /she sitteth upon many waters - Exercises power over many “peoples” and “nations.” (see verse 15) The form of the verb in Greek presents the “great whore” as in power at the time and as continuing to exercise power. As the ancient city of Babylon was situated upon the literal waters of the Euphrates (see Jeremiah 50:12, 38) and dwelt figuratively “upon many waters” or peoples, (Jeremiah 51:12-13; cf. Isaiah 8:7-8; 14:6; Jeremiah 50:23) so modern Babylon is represented as sitting upon or oppressing the peoples of earth. (cf. Revelation 16:12) Revelation 17:2 “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
The Church is at a critical dispensation, junction, why? because God told apostle Paul to tell Timothy, in the last days there will be deception and a great falling way from the truth and God. In 1 Timothy 4, says, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons". Multitudes have walked away from church, the organization, the building, the structure; but now we see many walking away from sound doctrine to doctrines of demons, the flesh, the world, and the devil. This is why the church seems to have no power, no revival, no immediate change in lives. We have rejected truth/Jesus and accepted a lie of the devil; The lie the Satan is telling is, no matter who we believe or how we live, all will have eternal life/go to heaven. This is the greatest lie told to humanity. 21st century church is mobile, global, AI infiltrated, worldly-motivated, and lost its first love.
This whore/apostate church in Rev 17, is the compromised church, sinful, demon possessed and will be ultimately led by the one called the anti-christ/ satan; and many shall be deceived in the last days; This church will be the main stream church during the coming tribulation period; The whole world is " watching and drunk of her wine" influences, teaching, power; somehow the church and the state/power of the beast kingdom will joined as one- creating an unholy union in the last day/ great tribulation-leading many straight to the gates of hell.
I know we love our churches, but the truth is, most have compromised their message, methods, and ministry for money, attendance, and popularity. The emerging apostate church will not have a reference point, she will be different from all other preceding churches, it/satan/ the false prophet will attempt to destroy all who exalt the Lord Jesus Christ; but he shall fail-Jesus shall rule and reign forever more, as King of kings and Lord of Lord!
More Protestant churches are being closed in America than are being planted, and older congregations appear to be bearing the brunt of the contraction, according to data from a new Lifeway Research study. The study published Tuesday used data collected from 35 denominational groups that represent 58% of U.S. Protestant churches. The Tennessee-based research arm of Lifeway Christian Resources also cited information from the Annual Church Profile for 2023 and 2024 of the Southern Baptist Convention — America’s largest Protestant denomination.
While 4,000 Protestant churches were closed in 2024, Lifeway Research estimates that only 3,800 were started in that year. The estimated 4,000 churches shuttered in 2024 represent nearly 1.4% of the 293,000 Protestant churches highlighted in the U.S. Religion Census 2020. The analysis also found that 1.4% of active Southern Baptist congregations disbanded or shuttered between 2023 and 2024, while some 0.4% left or were disaffiliated over the period. "The immediate impact of COVID appears to have passed. Denominations have discovered those that closed during quarantine and never reopened. However, the typical church in America has fewer attendees than it did 20 years ago,” Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, said in a statement on the research. “These assemblies are often weaker than prior generations. But at the same time, new churches are flourishing and a subset of churches are growing.” (Chrisitan Post/Lifeway Research)
THE FALLING AND APOSTATE CHURCH - The Old Testament prophets repeatedly represent an apostate people as a licentious woman. (Jeremiah 3:1-25; Ezekiel 16:26-32; cf. Ezekiel 16:15-58; 23:2-21; Hosea 2:5; 3:1; etc) This “woman” the “great whore,” (Revelation 17:1) or mystical “Babylon the great” (verse 5) is guilty of “the blood of all that were slain upon the earth,” (Revelation 18:24) throughout history. Mystical Babylon constitutes the organized religious opposition to God's people probably from the beginning of time, but here particularly at its very close. (see notes on Revelation 17:5)
"Sitting upon many" - The form of the verb denotes continuing action. In verse 1 the “great whore” is represented as being in direct control of men as individuals religiously, and here as directing the policies of civil government. (See notes on verse 18) It has ever been characteristic of apostate Christianity to attempt a union of church and state in order to consolidate religious control over public policy. Compare the declaration of our Lord that His “kingdom” is not “of this world.” (John 18:36)
Scarlet - Or “crimson.” A brilliant color certain to attract attention. In Isaiah 1:18 scarlet is the color of sin. Compare the “great red dragon” of Revelation 12:3.
The Beast - In Bible prophecy beasts commonly represent kingdoms or political powers of satan. (Daniel 7:3-7, 17; 8:3, 5, 20-21; cf. Revelation 12:3; 13:1) The color of this beast no doubt representing a sinful kingdom, not just sinful but one that thought to change the law of God. (Daniel 7:25) The names of blasphemy with which it is covered indicate that it stands in opposition to God. Accordingly, the beast itself may be identified as Satan working through those political agencies in all ages that have submitted to her control.
In certain respects, this beast resembles the great red dragon of Revelation 12:3, and in others the leopard like beast of Revelation 13:1-2 (see respective comments) The context makes the latter relationship appear to be closer. The chief difference between the beast of chapter 13 and that of chapter 17 is that in the former, which COULD BE identified with the papacy, no distinction is made between the religious and the political aspects of Papal power, whereas in the latter the two are distinct. The beast representing political power and the woman a religious power. The anti christ in all power at the appointed time, and the false prophet/ religious system that will require all the world to worship the beast's image. This is where we are headed in the last days., until the Full - Apostasy and opposition to God are complete.
So, where are we in end times? In these last days, the church will experience increasing persecution. As the day approaching for the final 7 yrs of tribulation. The church may have to return to being an " underground church" during this hour. This underground church will be preserved, protected, because they are called and appointed saints, sealed for redemption during this hardship and judgments. The coming judgement has not been witnessed before in human history, nor shall it be seen again afterwards; and only a few will survive, a remnant, the tribulation saints: Those who repent, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who refused to accept the mark of the beast/anti christ, shall be saved.
The church, as we have known it, will/has changed; It will not return to its foundation, as the bible believing, blood washed, spirit filled church many of us grew up in. The deception of the devil has taken root, but God has a plan for those that will repent and confess Jesus is the Son of God. Roman 10:9-10, is still true; if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that God has raised Jesus from the died , we shall be saved. with the heart man believes and with the mouth, confession is mad unto salvation.
My brothers and sister, return, repent, surrender, and follow the Lord Jesus Christ now!!
For the saving of your soul. For this hour of apostasy is already here, and the anti-christ, 7 yrs of judgement, is upon us. Look up, our redemption draws near.
Watch, Pray, and Stay Grounded
It is tempting, in times like these, to look at the headlines and say, “This is it.” But God warns us to watch carefully, not carelessly. Prophecy is meant to prepare us, not panic us.
We must remember: God’s plan is perfect, His timing sovereign, and His wisdom far above ours. No leader, no treaty, and no board of peace will move one inch beyond what He allows. Yet Jesus also said, “When these things begin to happen, look up, for your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28).
So, we watch — not in fear, but in faith. We pray for Israel. We discern world events with sober minds and open Bibles. And above all, we stay ready — because the same Lord who warned of false peace will one day bring everlasting peace when He reigns from Jerusalem Himself. Until then, the headlines may keep coming, but prophecy will never change: the world is racing toward a covenant that only Christ Himself can truly fulfill.
My friends, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you shall be saved.... We are living in the last days. Be ready. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, unless a man is born again (saved), he cannot see the kingdom of God". (John 3:16/ Romans 10;9-10/ 1 Cor 15:1-4)

Adam & Eve's disobedience by eating the forbidden fruit caused sin to be inherited into all mankind. So, after sin was birthed by their disobedience, sin was passed down to all men, as well as death. (Romans 5:12) So by this disobedience, it birthed what God calls sin, which led us all to death, and ultimately leading many to judgment and condemnation of an eternal hell. In the court room of God, we are guilty and destined for a devil's hell. It's by the blood of His only son Jesus Christ atonement that, covers repentant sinners, that will satisfy God's righteous judgment for sin. Any man or woman who stands before God as a sinner, must be damn to a devil's Hell, separated from God for all eternality. This is why Jesus Christ salvation is so important to this lost and dying world. He died, but was resurrected three days later in victory. His victory over satan, sin, death, and the grave, provided us with the only opportunity to be saved from the wrath and penalty of sin. We all can have eternal life with God, we can all be saved by blood of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is repent, and believe the good news; Jesus, the Son of God, is able save us abundantly! Romans 5:19-21, John 3:16, Romans 6:23. Call on Jesus now, and thou shall be saved, "For with the heart man believes, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
Abba father, The eternal God, loves us so much, He sent his only Son-Jesus Christ to save everyone. Jesus said " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the father but by me". See the only way to be saved, is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus, sacrificed His life on the cross of a tree, His shed blood was placed on the mercy seat in heaven, so we can come before God and say we are sinners, we repented, and believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Jesus shed blood cries "mercy" upon us and for us. The blood of Christ covers the multitude of our sins,. There is no sin God can not forgive. Repent, turn from your sins, and believe in Jesus Christ, and you shall be save. Hebrews 9:12, Matt 27:27-44, Mark 15:16-32, Luke 23
Matt 24:32, " Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and put forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (near). Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till these things be fulfilled". First we must understand Israel is identified as the "fig tree" in Joel 2:22, Luke 13:6-9. In 70 AD, Israel's temple and nation was destroy by Titus from Roman, and took the Jewish people into captivity.. From 70 AD till 1948, there was not "an nation" or "state" called Israel. Israel's people wonder throughout the world for over 2000 years without a nation. In 1948, according God's promised in Isaiah 66:8 ,Israel would be reborn, and Israel fulfilled his prophesy "a nation will be born in one day" in May 14,1948. The prophet Isaiah said, "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children". In 1948, God kept His promise, Israel was re- born in one day. Since 1948 till today, it's been 73 years, Israel has continued to blossom, grow, and be restored in her own country. God has blessed them and placed His name in Jerusalem forever, and they are called " the apple of His eye". All prophesy, from Dan 9:24-27, Psalms 83, Revelation, Joel, the prophets, and one-third of the entire bible is dealing with prophesy, the return of Jesus, His kingdom, and God's plan of salvation /restoration for mankind. But the truth of it all is that it all begun, centers, and ends in Israel-Jerusalem. Israel is God's time piece for all prophesy, end times truths, Jesus is coming again, Are you saved? Are you ready? Are you born again?.
