KEY Signs of the END TIMES

by Guy LaMar

MAKE no mistake about it, we are closer to the END TIMES today than we were yesterday. And each day more and more biblical prophecies of the END TIMES are coming together!

In the end-time Satan the devil will release his fury because he knows that his time is short –

“Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time” – Revelation 12:12.

Mankind is going to turn far more wicked and evil in these end times.

People will reject God the Father and Jesus Christ for false gods and will MOCK God and His living word – the Holy Bible.

Haters of men will spew their hatred for God as they rebel against the position that was designed for them – which God has placed for them.

The same goes for men – they will also rebel against God because they won’t accept their God-designed position.

The majority who claim to be Christian will continue to cling more and more to what their church leaders teach them while overlooking the errors that they are being taught that contradict the Bible. Sadly, our peoples are grasping hold of mainstream Churchianity, and spackling over what the HOLY WORD of God actually says!

They twist Scripture in order to fit their religion.

The majority THINK that they have God in their life, while in reality, all that they have is THEIR TAKE on what the Bible says and DO NOT even have God’s Spirit working within them.

Children (regardless of their age) will look down on their parent(s), believing that they are better. The whole concept that children are “better” than their parent(s) is a worldly concept.

King Solomon was by no means “better” than his father – King David.

God the Father is above Jesus Christ – the Son of God

Whether one likes it or not, there is an order of rulership with God’s design.

In the household – the father is the head of the mother and the children. He is the head of the household until he breathes his last breath. The mother is to be HONORED until her death by her husband and children.

In fact: the HONOR of parents DOES NOT END! Just because parents die doesn’t mean the HONOR ends.

When they are alive, they are to be respected with awe-like attention.

Sadly, do children (again, regardless of their age) in this 21st-century world do this!? No! Which does clearly show us how deep Satan the devil’s hooks are in our peoples of today!

The Amish – a group of traditionalist Anabaptists – are the rarity in which their children (no matter what age they are) are, for the most part – respectful and are in awe-like of their parents.

A 50-year-old son or daughter will still be in great awe-like attention to their 70+-year-old parent(s).

This is a GODLY HONOR.

Yet, this present evil age’s way is DISRESPECT.

This present evil age’s way is of Satan the devil!

Our peoples can easily be identified as to who it is they serve by how they react and treat their parent(s).

If one acts and treats their parent(s) as if they are beneath them they are certainly serving Satan the devil. Yet, if one acts and treats their parent(s) with respect, dignity, and awe-likeness, then it is certainly pleasing to the LORD our God!

LOOK TO JESUS!

What did He do!? How did He treat His parents!?

He showed GREAT HONOR and RESPECT to His Holy Father. He says that He follows His Father's RULES, not His own, but His Fathers.

He DEARLY LOVES HIS FATHER, and God the Father loves His Son!

God the Father has placed all things under His feet – giving Him the power to rule over us in His glorious Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit grows in a new creature in Christ.

If we OBEY God’s Way then we MUST do what He says in order to be of Him.

1. Reflect on our life, come to terms with things, agree within ourselves, reject the old and give self over to living for Jesus Christ … THUS we MUST REPENT! Turn from the old and FOLLOW JESUS! Which is OBEY!
2. Be properly BAPTIZED! Which represents burying the old self and coming out of the watery grave as a NEW person following JESUS CHRIST! This act is showing God that you are dedicated to doing His will.
3. Have a minister of God LAY HANDS upon you to pray over you to receive the Holy Spirit. This is when you become a begotten member of the family of God.
4. ENDURE until the end of your life to stay the course in service to God. Your salvation is accepting Jesus Christ and enduring. Not ever denying or giving up on JESUS CHRIST. How you apply yourself to DOING GOD’S LAW builds your rewards in the soon-coming Kingdom of God.

Sadly, there are those who push the Spirit of God away and even deny the Spirit.

There will be those who will MOCK the very Word of God, Truth of God, and Plan of God, and of God’s holy righteousness.

Now, if a good person is constantly around an evil person then the good person will be influenced by this evil person – thus making them fall into the trap of becoming evil themselves.

There are far more “bad” influences in this world than there are “good influences in this world (the definition of what is “good” and what is “bad” as defined by God in His living word)!

The god of this present evil age – Satan the devil – is also the ruler of this world’s religions, the ruler of this world’s ways – which have been set up to beguile mankind.

“But even if our gospel [the good news of Jesus Christ, of the promise of salvation, and of the soon-coming Kingdom of God] is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4) whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, who is the image of God, should shine on them” – 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

Satan Blinds People To the REAL JESUS

If a man has FAITH IN GOD and his spouse (or vice versa) does not, she can spew her hatred and disrespect for God to make the man fail in his faith.

Which can certainly be his downfall.

Just as ADAM allowed his wife to guide him into his downfall.

In the beginning, Satan the devil went after the “weaker” vessel in order to destroy mankind. It has been this way since the beginning of mankind’s creation.

WITHOUT GOD we are sure to fall each time! This is why we MUST stay in the Word of God, the Truth of God, and the Plan of God – staying CLOSE TO GOD!

Have the Armor of God upon us always!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might [the Holy Spirit]. 11) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13) Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” – Ephesians 6:10-13.

Similar to how a bully will always target a seemingly weaker person. A bully will beat a person into submission in order to have them submit to their will. A bully will beat the person to make the person a type of slave. This is what makes a disciple of Satan the devil. Satan has his minions work against the “good” people so as to destroy them.

FAITH comes by hearing, and likewise, if someone is ONLY hearing negative things day in and day out then the person is subject to being spiritually deflated.

Brethren, as we approach these END TIMES there are those in this world that are easily recognizable by the ones who are able to discern the spirits – cf. 1 Corinthians 12:10.

“’ And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15) For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts, and turn, So that I should heal them.’” – Matthew 13:14-15.

“But know this, that IN THE LAST DAYS perilous times will come: 2) For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, PROUD, blasphemers, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, unthankful, unholy, 3) unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4) traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5) having a form of godliness but denying its power. AND FROM SUCH PEOPLE TURN AWAY!” – 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

This is certainly what sort of world we are living in TODAY! Even so-called people of God are being offended, and betraying one another over such petty and insignificant things! – cf. Matthew 24:10.

WHY!?

Because we are now living in an age where the majority of our peoples are SPOILED!

Spoiled people get out of sorts when they don’t get their way.

Our youth is now more DISOBEDIENT and DISRESPECTFUL to their elders than at any other time in human history.

They believe that they are “better” and more knowledgeable than their elders “back in the day.” And, in part, this may be true in regards to material matters, but not in spiritual matters.

I, personally, recall when I decided to stop being so “bull-headed” and began to actually listen to my Mother. I discovered that she was far wiser than I ever imagined. It was at that time that I very respectfully began “picking” her mind to gain more understanding of things that she knew without issue.

At some point, we all have become foolish. We won’t listen like we should to our elders. It is more noticeable in this day and age than at any other time.

There is a globe-girdling spirit that has taken over this world – even more so towards the end of this age.

Life Is Full Of Choices

It is written in the Book of Proverbs to “ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil” – Proverbs 4:26-27.

We seriously need to think about the choices we make and the consequences of those choices. They can lead to corruption (destruction), or to eternal life.

We reap what we sow.

“DO NOT BE DECEIVED, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8) For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap CORRUPTION, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life” – Galatians 6:7-8.

Sadly, even a great many so-called ministers of God are DISRESPECTFUL.

Men of God who have actually been called by Father God into the Ministry of Christ Jesus are swiftly rejected by their old friends, their hometown, their relatives, and their own family!

These men are looked upon and judged by what they had done BEFORE THEY WERE CONVERTED AND ORDAINED. They are refused to be seen as a NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST – the Spirit of God living within them.

People are too busy casting judgment stones at the one that they knew before their conversion and ordination. It is also a testimony as to how lowly they think of the one whom God has ordained into the Ministry of Christ Jesus.

Like it or not – a true minister of the LORD our God is a representative and ambassador of Jesus Christ!

Sadly, many people cannot accept someone being a true minister of God simply because it is someone whom they knew closely before their conversion and ordination.

This is why the true minister of God can do a far greater work in God when he is not around those judgmental people.

Just as our Lord Jesus removed the doubters from the room when He was performing a healing. The doubters were out of the room – cf. Matthew 9:25.

And, mind you, Jesus was God in the flesh!

“But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet [or even a minister] is not without honor except in his own country, among his relatives, and in his own house.’” – Mark 6:4.

THIS IS TRUTH!

Well, how long do we have until it is officially the END TIMES!?

Truly, truly, ONLY GOD KNOWS!

Something to consider –

The year 2027 marks TWO-THOUSAND years from when our Lord Jesus Christ began His ministry! Could this be the year of the beginning of the ‘great tribulation’ spoken about by our Lord Jesus!? – cf. Matthew 24:21-22.

Could we witness the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the year 2030 – which marks TWO-THOUSAND years since our Lord ascended to the upper heavenly realms!?

Is it possible that this present evil age only has another 50 years, another 100 years, 500 years!?

Because, as our Lord Jesus says, it will be a time which “’ has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.’”

And sure enough, there is a spirit which is roaming this earth - and it’s running amok globally!

We should ALL focus on life as though Jesus Christ was returning today!

Yet, as God’s begotten children, we are aware of certain signs to look for. A major sign: a third temple (whatever it will consist of) has to be built along with several other things that have to happen. Now, a great many things have happened already that are straight from biblical prophecy as signs of END TIME events.

And they have happened in the exact manner which God’s living word says!

Look at this world and how our peoples are so self-absorbed. There truly are so few people on earth that are truly humble.

An ever-greater number of women rule over the men, and their husbands cower to their wives!

So-called church leaders allow their flock to rule over them! Since when does a flock rule over its shepherd!?

THE WHOLE HEAD IS SICK!

Also, sadly, in this day and age, ever-more of our peoples are worshiping their political leaders than GOD!

The ‘beginning of sorrows’ is HERE!

Of all the saints of God that I have personally known in my life – that are now resting in their graves, without question they are far better off. They don’t have to put up with the utter insanity of this world!

Our Lord Jesus makes it clear: if we endure until the END of our lives FAITHFULLY, then and ONLY then, we are secure in salvation.

Our Lord Jesus has assured us that “ …’ he who endures to the end shall be saved’” – Matthew 24:13.

The process of our salvation begins by accepting Jesus Christ – no other name under heaven by which we MUST be saved – as our LORD (which means Master) and Savior!

And for JESUS to truly be our LORD, then He must be MASTER of our lives! We MUST apply to His will. His commands, His Way. Following His rules. To KNOW HIM! – meaning, know who He is and why He is, and to know who He was before He became known as our Lord Jesus Christ – cf. John 1:1, 14.

These are just some of the things that are noticeable to identify the END TIMES which is the pulse of this present evil age – in this ‘beginning of sorrows.’ □
