Dear Doves
A true Christians life bears fruits.
True love manifests in real works.
Faith without works is dead.
I believe that one of the fruits and also blessed works is
to study and understand the word of God (and to bless others
by sharing it):
So let me list some of the most tasty fruits:
- to study the word of God seriously, including the topics
related to the end-times!
- to have a desire to work out a possible chronology of events
in the end-times!
- to understand why (or why not) to believe in a rapture
and if yes, when (within the chronology of events) it may
happen!
- to differentiate with the precision of a double-edged
sword between the rapture and the second coming of Christ!
- to understand for each parable Jesus gave regarding the
end-times, if the end of the parable is the rapture or his
second coming!
- to understand that the letters to the 7 chruches in
Revelation chapters 2+3 are not only addressing historic
churches of the past, but most importantly span out the
prophetic timespan from Jesus first coming 2000 years ago
until his second coming, hence addressing our time!
- to see the amazing parallels between Matthew 24,4-14 and
Revelation 6,6-11
- to realize that Matthew 24, 15-28 speaks about the
abomination that causes desolation - the only true marker of
the "beginning of the great tribulation"!
- to see the amazing parallels between Matthew 24,29-31 and
Revelation, 6, 12-15
Of course there are many other fruits of a Christians life
and other works to do too, but some of us have been assigned
the responsibility, joy, (but also burden) to distinguish the
times and to really UNDERSTAND it.
Here is a little analogy: Once of my little hobbies is to
solve the Rubiks Cube. It's that 3x3x3 Cube with different
colors on each side that gets mixed up so quickly and then
can't be solved anymore by most people. For me it is a true
pleasure to just solve it, and to always find new ways of
doing it, in fact it is easier than you may think once you
have understood some fundamental "laws of the cube". Towards
the end of solving it, everything becomes 100% predictable
(but for those who have no understanding about it it still
looks like a total mess) because all pieces must fall into
place simultaneously. It is the same with the end-times: most
Christians just think it is an unsolved and completely mixed
up puzzle, they don't even dare to think that it COULD be
solved or that the final pieces are all just about to fall
into place anytime soon within just very few moves.
With the current events on the horizon, I can't stop
thinking about the analogy of the Rubiks Cube. Any serious
Rubiks-Cuber will know when the Cube will be solved within the
next few moves and 100% foresees it, while others have
absolutely no clue and are simply unable to see or understand
it.
Watch out for Obama in Jerusalem, the election of the Pope,
re-read Matthew 24,15-28 and be ready to see all the pieces
fall into place very quickly!
Watch & Pray!
Maranatha!
