Lots of signs. In spite of the crimes, you and me ..we be in the end times!

Lots of windin' it up signs these days -- walk on through. Stick with the Lord, and with a healthy Bible teaching church. No time to wander away.  

Listen, for the believer, there are only two options for his or her departure to heaven.. it's either death or the Rapture. Restudy your biblical eschatology. We don't know which one comes first for us, so let's put Jesus first.

Two options for the lost? Nope, not so for the unbeliever, he or she will depart by physical death. We all each decide in this life where we will spend eternity in the next -- in either Heaven or Hell. God doesn't send people away -- the prideful, unrepentant rebellious send themselves to hell. I would say come to, or come back to Christ so you can be ready and know in your knower. 

"Return, O faithless sons; I will heal your faithlessness.” Jeremiah 3:22

Am feelin' so grateful that God doesn't say get yourself all fixed up alone and then come, or dig yourself out of that ugly hole that you've made dude and then approach Me. He simply says Return Just As You Are.. With a Humble Willingness to be Changed from the inside out. He works in us both to will and then to do of His good pleasure. Doesn't for anyone. He'll make you more you than you've ever been before. 

Our duty is to simply cooperate with the Holy Spirit leading the way. We come faithless to him because he is faithful to forgive us when we ask Him to and then follow. We return with nothing, he gives everything. We turn, trust, believe and wisely apply God's word.

If we will open the door of our heart to Christ while here, then He will open the door for us to enter into eternal life with Him there in heaven. Which do you prefer for the next life, what'll it be.. smoking or non-smoking? And remember not to choose in these last days.. is to choose.

"Le coeur a des raisons que la raison ne connait pas." ~ Pascal

Means - the heart seems to have reasons that even reason doesn’t even know about.

Have you been a bit concerned about different things happening in the world around you. Have you wondered why your heart gets distracted after things of the world at times and you've got to say "No" to it and temptations? Perhaps you need a refill of the Spirit. Perhaps you need to sow to the Spirit in the word, prayer and fellowship and reject what your old man a.k.a. fleshly nature demands of you. It's time to be awake and strong in the Lord, focused on Christ and ready for anything that comes your way.  

Been trying to stay focused on what really matters and on what I can do. Have ya been a bit distracted lately? Have you seen some signs lately that clearly say we're in the end times? How's your heart, thoughts, attitude and human spirit? 

The Apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 1:7 said, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

That's cuz God wants us to exercise this regarding things that matter. With Christ as Lord and the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us, we each are able to have self-control and demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit as good witnesses in this corrupt world. We can live it and tell It--the Message and our own story. None who are born again need live as hypocrites, or periodic hypocrites!

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23

What did Jesus mean -- He said the Kingdom of God is inside of you.

Yeah in Luke 17:20–21 Christ said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you” (nkjv).

They were always trying to trap him with words. A pointed question was put to Jesus by the Pharisee detractors (puffed up religious haters) who had asked Him when the Kingdom of God would come  to earth (see verse 20). That was the context. 

When people sincerely repent of their sin, and believe in Christ, inviting Him asking Him to freely forgive them and to come inside to rule as Lord.. then guess what! Where the King of kings rules is where His Kingdom is. It starts in each heart that chooses Jesus the Father's only Solution for our sin prob. 

God knows what he has planned for believers here and for us later on too. So why go back to Egypt so to speak, why get distracted only to return to dumb idols.. to feeding your old nature.. or to be gullible regarding this world system? 

He sure knows all about those things, how they're not good for us, and about the excuses and reasons people give for doing what they do. He know the way, when and how. Please let Him have your whole heart today cuz He’ll keep it safe through the last days and for all eternity.. even if there's some suffering here. Wander not away, give your heart now.  

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart
Oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above ~ Christopher M. Rice (Blog)

So many signs in our day. Have you been keeping your eyes open with a biblical worldview? 

Worldwide plagues (ie, makes me wonder about Covid, and this Delta Variant). 

Remember when Israel became a nation again in a day (that was a super sign). 

Now with bitcoin and cryptocurrency aren't we right on the verge of becoming a cashless society? Bible open and think about it.  

Europe United! Won't the antichrist emerge and rule from there? 

God more questions about the end times? What should we watch for? 

The Temple Being Rebuilt In Jerusalem. They been collecting all the tools and utensils for this. Yes, the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem is a sign. The increased hostility toward Israel, and advances toward a one-world government are too. The most prominent sign of the end times, however, is the nation of Israel. In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, essentially for the first time since AD 70.

What About The Rise Of A World Dictator. Seems like so many politicians are starting to act like that, but one become the top dog so to speak.

War In Israel -- so many still hate the Jews and want to attack them

The World's Bloodiest Conflict is Ahead.  

What is the battle of Armageddon? 

That name is from a Hebrew term Har-Magedone, which means “Mount Megiddo” and has become synonymous with the future battle in which God will intervene and destroy the armies of the Antichrist as is clearly predicted in biblical prophecy (Revelation 16:1620:1-3). Will soon happen! 

Currently China has a self imposed role in our current US White House with Joe and Kamala (puppets), but does China have a role in the end times? 

 What is the significance of Megiddo in the Bible?

Throughout the centuries Christians have anticipated the glorious return of Christ to this earth. It's really near. Yes, it looks to me like we are closer than ever before. 

How about from your perspective? Present day events during our life time might very well be leading to that climactic Event of events. Please live informed, prayerful, awake, refilled, ears open, compassionate and totally encouraged to live in word of God. Let's all go tell and live in the light of Christ's return.

"The greatest weakness in the church today is that it no longer believes that Scripture is where God invests His power. Everyone is looking for power in a program or a methodology—everywhere but where God has placed it, in His Word." — R.C. Sproul

End Times People and Nations.. who all is involved? 

What does it mean for a society to be post-Christian? It's like that for so many here in my nation, the USA. 

1) Parents are not making Bible teaching church time a high priority for their kids. 
2) Kids that have grown up are doin' what seem right in their own eyes. And they are now making it less of a priority for their kids. 
3) Those kids then grow up and make it no priority at all for their kids. Not smart at all. We had a drug problem in my home -- my parents drug us off to church weekly. Glad they did.  
4) Those kids grow up with no concept of God or what's of real value or even moral according to Scripture. How will they learn what's right and wrong? All their gaming won't tell them.  

Did ya know that the average age in American churches today is 51 years old.  

But some families are praying the price on their knees -- prayin' the promises and believing God! There are over 900 young students in our healthy local church's Prestonwood Student Ministry today. Yay God!  

I love it -- wonderful! Jesus said, “My command is this: love each other as I have loved you.” John 15:12

I ain’t gunna set a date and time for Christ's return, because too many have foolishly done that. The Bible says we can’t know the day or the hour and that's exactly what God means for us not to do. He’ll return like a thief in the night. 

Here's a Last Days Sign.. Many false teachers and false prophets even inside some so called churches have been saying “I am the Christ” and they have been leading many people far astray. The Mormons have their Jesus, the Muslims have their Jesus too.. who ain’t God and didn’t rise from the dead. The Jehovah Witnesses have their Jesus. The New Age movement has their own cut and paste Jesus. Dead religion often has theirs that saves everyone no matter what they opt to believe.  

Today wars and rumors of wars have been happening even with the Taliban again. My two sons fought hard with the Taliban for years over in Iraq and my second son, Nathan-Michael just died. Now we see that the Taliban has taken over in Kabul again. 

Things that “must take place” are taking place yet the end is not yet. Kurt, is it the end? Nope not yet, but we can see it from here can't we. Sure. Nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. it's all going to end down here with the Battle of Armageddon. So true. 

Christian’s will be hated by All Nations. That’s been happening and is happening more. 

There have been famines. 

Many believers will fall away in the last days.

Many people are hating one another. "Lawlessness will be increased the love of many will grow cold" -- that’s happened and is happening more. 

Listen believer, the one who endures the end in Christ will be saved so go on with Him leading you. 

There have been earthquakes in various places. These are the beginnings of birth pains as the Bible calls them. 

Computer knowledge is increasing exponentially and people are traveling like never before even civilians up into space now. Daniel 12:4 said, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." (kjv)

This Gospel the Kingdom shall be preached throughout the whole world (as it has been getting out far -- I see this daily working with Global Media Outreach,, just love Love LOVE to hear from people from all over the globe regarding the Gospel Message) .."and then shall the end come."  

What's next? Die Entrückung - the Rapture is. 

The church will be snatched away in a moment (one sixth of a nanosecond, in the blink of an eye), the Restrainer is removed from her (the Spirit in the Christians. After the Church goes up He will be here as He was during the Old Testament times, yes in the Old Covenant sense. 

How will you buy and sell? The Antichrist will be on the scene here (he might already be but we don’t know who that is yet) and there will be many people getting saved during the Tribulation years. See Revelation 7. 

There will be 144,000 anointed Jewish evangelists doin’ their thang on earth. They will be sealed by the Holy Spirit, and then comes God’s wrath like never before. 

People will become lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. Personally, I ain’t gunna live for pleasure, for self, or for travel, or for bucks cuz listen.. all that’s most un-pleasurable to live for. 

I say Live all out for Christ, on-fire. Know and worship Him alone. Follow Him real close -- He loves you and has a good plan for your life.  

The Bible says, “..she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.”  1 Timothy 5:6



Take some time to check out Matthew 24:5–8. He gives us some important clues for discerning the approach of the end times: “Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” 

An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, and increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters—these are all signs of the end times. In this passage above, we are given a clear warning: we are not to be deceived, because these events are only the beginning of birth pains; the end is still to come.


Yes, the Apostle Paul warned that the last days would bring a marked increase in false teaching. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). 

These last days are described as “perilous times” because of the increasingly evil character of man and people who actively “oppose the truth” (2 Timothy 3:1–9; see also 2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Again, what's the next sign that could happen at any day now? The Church being snatched up and out of here. Forget this not. 
Q: When will that be? 
A: At any time. Get on ready even if you don't believe in it -- let's stay together through it all.


Exciting times of opportunity for witnessing. We can live ready and help others get ready because of the Cross. God has given us enough information that we can be prepared, and that is what we are called to be as our hearts cry out, “Come, Lord Jesus” (See Revelation 22:20 and the context). Fish4souls.org

Yeah, even if you don’t believe these are “the last days” as you should (cuz the Bible says these be them and it said it some 2000 years ago).. guess what.. you and me are in our last days. You know life here is pretty dog gone brief. One day when we leave this planet Earth, we’ll leave everything behind. All the stuff. Someone will one day have to come and clean it all out for you.

Why live for perishable possessions or property you’ll end up leaving to someone else? But listen.. what we’ve invested for the glory of God will be waiting for us as an eternal reward. God wants you most, wants your whole heart, wants your obedience. Give you as a gift to God -- “you were bought at a price.”

Let Jesus be both Savior and Lord of all. Today, everyday. He loves you and has a good plan and He cares about your friends and family. You can’t take it with you, none of that stuff, but in one sense you can send it on ahead. Think about the eternal stuff, and that temporal too. What’ll will rust, what will soon be obsolete. It sure gives ya a different perspective on buying stuff. Do I or someone near me ..really need this or will it soon be in a garage sale of sorts? People often fight for the junk in the end. My father-in-law Cecil used to say, The ones who tend to win in the end are the lawyers.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body. “ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 fish4souls.org
