Signs of the Times, Part 1

Every day, signs are unfolding right before our eyes. The question is: Why don’t we recognize what they mean?

In last week’s message, we discovered that we are responsible for understanding the signs of the times. Proverbs 25:2 tells us, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” The original Hebrew reveals something powerful about the verse: God is not trying to hide His truth from us. On the contrary, He longs to reveal His goodness and deliver us from danger. When truth seems hidden, it is often our own hearts that keep us from seeing what is plainly before us.

Take Pharaoh, for example. When the Scriptures say God hardened his heart, the Hebrew indicates that it was Pharaoh’s own pride and fear of losing power that blinded him to God’s message. In the same way, many today close their hearts and miss what God is showing them.

But God wants us to see. When He prepared to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, He asked, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” (Genesis 18:17). Why? Because Abraham was God’s friend, and God knew Abraham would use this revelation to guide his children and bless the world.

This week, I’d like to share with you some powerful keys to help you recognize and understand the times we are living in. Don’t miss this message—it could change the way you see everything happening around you.

Are you a Christian concerned about the coming tribulation? While the Bible presents three options for believers—die for your faith, barely endure, or become an overcomer—this book is for those who choose the third path. It’s not enough to simply prepare for tribulation; we must prepare for the return of the Lord. An overcomer focuses on the solution, not the problem.

In this fresh, yet scriptural, look at Jesus’ return, you will discover the spiritual history of the world and understand how we’ve reached this point of darkness. You’ll finally see past Lucifer’s actual strategies, uncover the truth about ancient myths and legends, and learn how legalism has taken hold of the entire world. This book will help you identify the spirit at work in both the world and the Church, understand how world governments will be seduced by Mystery Babylon, and recognize the apostate religion, the false Christ, and the false prophet. Ultimately, you’ll learn the only way to prepare for what lies ahead. This book offers a straightforward, biblical plan for the future, with practical application sections in almost every chapter to help you live as an overcomer.
