Are You Ready? | Elder Terence Atkinson

You're listening to a message to go from acts Church. We hope this message

will light up your day. Anyway, this morning, I'm going to share

with you a message that usually when I share a message, I try and

be very encouraging. Okay, Now, every word that comes from the Word

of God is encouraging, but you must recognize that some words are not milk.

Some words are meat, meaning that some words are for us to grow.

Some words are for us to have a change in our lives. And

it's not, you know, the kind of thing that we always love to

hear, but sometimes the things that we don't like to hear are also necessary.

So I pray that this morning you will find a peace with what I

got to say, because it's a tough one. And the message is are

you ready? Are you ready? You know there's a song. Are you

ready? Are you ready to sit by his throne? Are you ready not

to be alone? Someone's coming to take you home? Are you ready?

He will carry you home? And that's a song that was I think forty

years ago. Okay, Anyway, towards the finish line, Heaven Rules,

Are you ready, We're going to be reading from Luke chapter twenty one,

we'll start with verse seven, but pay attention to what these words are going

to be about. Okay, So I read verse seven. So they asked

him saying, teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign

will there be that when these things they are about to take place? You

see, this was the time when Jesus said the temper was going to be

destroyed. Right scripture Jesus told his disciples told the temple is going to be

destroyed. And in verse seven they asked him, and what signs will they

be? And in verse eight he says, take heed that you not be

deceived, for many will come in my name saying I am here and that

the time has drawn near. Therefore do not go after them. What sign

will they be? You know, his disciples asked him for a sign.

Now when you read English, it's not very clear because what sign are you

a policeman? See my patch? Okay? What sign? Is it going

to rain? The clouds are dark? You see that that's a sign.

But the word that they asked Jesus was and it means distinguishing mouth that authentic

kids and establishers, who Christ is? You know, when they asked him

for a sign, you know what. They were actually saying, who do

you think you are? What gives you the right to make this statement?

How do we know you have the authority to speak these words. They were

not questioning or show us what sign. They were questioning Jesus. They were

questioning his authority. They were saying, do you have a right to speak

these things? So English is not very clear sometimes, so we have to

understand the sign which indicates that the Messiah will shortly or fought with come from

heaven in visible manifestation. They were saying, can you show us proof?

That was what they were asking. And what did Jesus say? Take heed

to yourselves and don't be deceived. In other words, he's saying, guys,

many people are gonna come in this world and try and deceive you.

Many are gonna come and try and get you off track. Do you know

that in Russia there's this guy called Sergey Anatolovich Toro. He is a long

haird former traffic policeman, and he is a leader of a sect described by

many as a cult called the Church of the Last, also known as the

Siberian Jesus. If you see his picture, he looks like how you see

Jesus. You know, long robes, long hair, beard, mustache,

and would you believe he has two thousand followers, Jesus says her. Don't

believe it. Many will come saying that I'm he Let me tell you how

Jesus is going to come. When Jesus comes, the Bible says, everyone

in the world is going to annoy it. Not because there is satellite TV.

Now when something happens around the world, we can see it right because

of satellite TV. That's not how it's going to be when Jesus comes again.

Every person, whichever part of the world they are, are going to

see all of them at the same time. Jesus coming down from heaven.

How is that possible? Don't ask me. This is what Jesus said.

But you will know it is Jesus because everybody who believes or don't believe will

know it is Jesus. Oh. I just saw a testimony yesterday. I

don't know whether you saw it on the internet. It was a lady who

was dying. She was on her deathbed and she was taking her last few

breaths, and she was talking to her daughter and she told the daughter and

the daughter was crying and you know, and she was like, I see

the gate and I see them opening the gate for me, and it's such

a pretty place. It's so beautiful. And she is struggling because she was

her breath was slowly going away, and as she was going she was saying,

tell so and so, I love them. Tell the children, I

love them. Then she started to name them one by one. Tell this

person I love that, the person I love and it's so beautiful and it's

so wonderful, and I see him coming. It's so pretty, it's so

wonderful. And then as she's talking gently, she falls into a sleep and

she passes away. Do you know there was another testimony that I and I

think I told you this about this man when he died, he had never

known who Jesus was because nobody ever told him. But when he saw Jesus,

he just knew that was Jesus. The world will see Jesus come like

that. So if if your friend in another country hasn't seen Jesus come at

the same time you had in the clouds, that's not Jesus. Very simple

Bible says, do not be deceived. Take heed. They were calm in

my name, saying I am he. You know, the first thing to

watch out for is the trueness he means to us will be attacked and mimiced.

People will always attack our belief in our understanding of Jesus. Do you

know that? You know how you know these guys are fake? He's got

two wives and then he has groomed a thirteen year old girl until the age

of nineteen so he can marry her. Make it the third wife. Hey,

there will always be some funny thing when when you look at these people

who say that dear Jesus, there will be always something that's off. You

will know it because they want to attack your understanding of who Jesus is.

Because if the Bible, the Bible says, if they can even try and

get the elect to change, they will. The enemy will attempt to take

control of who you think and who the world thinks Jesus is. And if

you don't have a relationship with him, guys, and this is the key,

if you don't have a relationship with Jesus, you might just well fall

by the wayside. You see, your relationship with Jesus is not based on

somebody else's faith. Somebody cannot be a strong Christian on your behalf. You

know you have to be a strong Christian on your own behalf. There's a

reason I'm telling you this unless you've been living under a rock. Do you

know what's happening in the world today? Verse nine says, but when you

hear wars and commotions, wars and rumors of wars, Hey, what's happening

in the world today? I remember about two months ago I shared with you

about what the Bible says about men's thinking going crazy because they have rejected Jesus.

And so now men can become girls, girls can become men, boys

can dress up as girls, go to the girls toilets. And do you

remember I told you all that a few months ago? And do you remember

I told you that this change it took a matter of five years. Do

you know that it was still quite unsure as to a sign. It is

a sign pointing to Jesus return, but it wasn't quite the sign yet because

there were so many other things that were supposed to take place. Guess what,

man, all those things that were supposed to have taken place has taken

place in the last month one month. One of the last prophecies is that

the whole world will turn against God's people. He's chosen people who are His

chosen people. There's a little little country in the Middle East. The Bible

says that everyone's going to be enemies with this little country. So you think

the US are friends, You think the Economic Union are friends? Did you

see the protests going on around the world. They won't be friends for very

long. They won't be friends for very long. And when they switch allegiance,

be ready. I always tell my children. I got two girls,

both married. I always tell them I believe Jesus is coming soon. How

many of you believe Jesus is coming again? Okay, that's a lot of

you. How many of you believe Jesus is coming soon? Okay? There's

about a sixty or seventy percent dropout rate when I became Okay, I'm going

to ask this question now, how many of you, and I think there's

only one or two people other than me. How many of you received the

Lord in the seventies nobody? Okay, I was saved in the seventies.

Okay. How many of you received the Lord in the eighties? Wow?

Okay? How many of you received the Lord in the nineties. I'm just

born again two thousand and Okay, I've been a Christian now for forty thinks

say it will be forty five years. When I became a Christian in the

seventies, the church was only preaching one thing. Jesus is coming again,

and Jesus is coming again soon. And do you know you can go to

any church. That's the message that they were sharing. Get your life in

order. Jesus is coming soon. Get your life in order. Jesus is

coming soon. And that's what they shared in the eighties. When something happened

in the nineties, things began to change. You could see it in the

music. You know that that vulgar language appeared in music in the nine mid

nineties. Suddenly four letter words and songs became normal mid nineties. Then something

else happened in the turn of the millennium. It changed, Remember, and

I told you that the reason people's changed the way that they think from guys

to girls and girls to guys happened because they started believing in one important thing.

It starts with the letter I and nothing after it. What is it

I I, nothing after it. There's another word starts with a letter M.

Read one letter after it. Okay, one more there also starts with

a letter M myself. Do you know that when that happened in the year

two thousand onwards, the church stopped sharing about Jesus coming again. How many

of you have really heard a message on Jesus's coming again? Can I see

a show? Hence that's less than fifteen percent because the church now wants to

share with you on how to get rich, how to look good, how

to be successful. But somewhere along the line, the church has forgotten that

Jesus Christ is coming again. And when he comes again, will you find

you in I as friends of four? Very important? And if you think

that just because you said Jesus come to my heart as Lord and Savior,

it's all okay. Let me just tell you one verse Scripture says many have

come in my name, saying, Lord Lord, I have healed in your

name. I've cast out demons in your name. What did he tell them?

Depart from me? I never knew you, which means being a believer

is much more than just saying the words your heart. Your life has to

change, whether you believe it or not. Jesus is coming again. And

I tell my children, if I read what's happening. In scripture, Jesus

Christ will come again real soon, most probably, of I would say most

likely in your lifetime. I may see Jesus return or I may just miss

it. But I tell my children, definitely in your lifetime. When you

hear wars and commotions, do not be terrified, for these things must come

to pass first. But the end will not come immediately. Scripture first tells

you don't be afraid. Look, if you are going to be afraid of

the things around you, you will be lost. Because the Bible says that

the fear of God, the fear of the Lord, is the beginning of

wisdom. There's only one person you should fear, and that is God.

And if you fear God, you'll be all right. If you fear God,

it will set your thinking straight. But if you fear the world,

you're in for a big, big letdown. Guys. I know it's very

quiet. In fact, I was kind of smiling to myself when John prayed

today. You know, let everybody you know respond. You know, when

the message I'm thinking to myself, he doesn't know the message I'm going to

share, They're going to be very quiet. So I was smiling myself when

he was saying that. You know, in verse ten he says nation will

rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. What happened on October seventh was

truly despicable. But the world calls the terrorists freedom fighters. Hey, guys,

look at what's going on around the world today. Those same people who

fight to advocate that that boys can be turning to girls at the age of

ten and go for operations are the ones who are saying these things. I

say this, Okay, you guys, you have children, Praise the Lord.

Be very careful when you send them to Australia, be very careful when

you send them to Europe, be very careful when you send them to the

US. Because the universities have all gone crazy. They no longer teach you

how to think. Universities during my time taught you how to think. Universities

today teach you what to think. It's a big, big difference. So

you send, as I say, your son to Australia as a boy and

he comes back as a girl. I just saw a video of a pastor.

He went to school board meeting, school board meeting, and he opened

up a book that the school board says should be taught in schools, and

as he read passages from the book, it was so vulgar. The school

board says, please, don't read vulgar things in the school board meeting.

And he said, are you insane? You won't allow me to read this

in this school board meeting, but you're telling us that this book should be

read in school. This is the world today. It has no moral compass.

What the scriptures say, I've given them over to their own thoughts because

they have rejected me. You know, one of the worst things that anyone

can do is to reject Jesus. Because when they reject Jesus, the only

one who keeps them thinking sanely removes his presence from them. And what happens

They begin to think like fools. They lose track of what's important. So

nation will rise against nation and kingdom against king. And guess what in verse

eleven says there will be earthquakes in various places. Militia is not in earthquake

territory. But how many of you remember the earthquake that took place in Sabah.

You know there were two peaks on the mountain, right, do you

know the one broke off that never happened. It has not happened in but

it happened that you know, our sister Grace, not this ister Grace,

but Sister Grace from ten to thirty service. She was stuck up the mountain

for a few days. And when they came down, they were told to

look certain because on the left hand side were all the dead bodies of the

Singapore students who had fallen. So as they were brought down by the guides,

they okay, at this point, please don't look that side. Just

look on this side, because all of them were there, and they had

already been there for a few days. It can even earthquake can happen in

Malaysia. Guys, we have to wake up. Jesus is coming soon.

Famines and pestilence, Okay, Famines are still happening in the world today.

In fact, so much so that China is trying to put human bna into

cows so that they can produce a kind of milk that babies will readily accept

but has human genes in the cow. You know, all these kind of

weird experiments are going on the world today. Hey, in existence already,

you know, pestilence, I mean, we just went through COVID nineteen and

more or less just finish in twenty three. It took us three years to

get rid of that nonsense. I mean, do we need other signs to

tell us? And there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

What is this great signs from heaven? It is the environment. How many

of you know our weather pattern has changed? Not before it used to be

dry weather during June, July, August, but it's been wet all throughout.

Did you know that it snows in the Sahara? Why even snowed on

Mankinabaloo last year. I think these are weather patterns that are going in a

little bit crazier. So what do we do? Do we fall to pieces?

Don't believe this, this this jargon that they keep telling you about CO

two omissions, emissions and they're trying to control fossil fuels. Do you know,

actually what is the reason for that? Is? To control you?

In America? They wanted to do away with fossil fuels and change all cars

to electronic cars. Sounds good, right, sounds good right? But you

know what was the trade off? It made America week because now America needs

to rely on some other country for its energy. It cannot produce its own

energy. What has happened? The prices have gone up in the States for

everything food, the inflation rate. People are leave have to move out of

their house because they can't even afford their home rent. What is it all

about. It's to control. Oh. By the way, the other thing

that they're going to introduce in the cars is a chip that they can kill

the car any time they wish. You know, once you buy the car,

if the government feels you cannot drive it, they'll shut it off,

and it's nothing you can do to turn it on. It's all about control.

It's all about control. You will be brought before kings and rulers for

my name's sake, it says verse twelve. But before all these things,

they will lay their hands on you, persecute you. Oh, this is

the word we don't like to hear. They will persecute us, delivering us

to the synagogues and prisons. You know what that means, to the synagogues,

up to religious authorities. They will deliver us up to religious authorities,

and you will be brought before kings and rulers for my namesake. In my

house, I put up an eight foot Christmas tree outside. Yeah, I

mean, I mean I made it out of PVC pipes and then I put

led lights with a big star on top, so it looks like a looks

in the night. It just looks amazing. You know why I do that.

I have to make a noise. I'm a Christian. I will not

push my faith inside closed doors. I want the world to know I'm a

believer. You see, if you and I will not stand up for our

faith, guess what nobody else willt and then they will start to push you

and remove things away from you. Next thing, you know, you may

end up like BRUNEI. If you want to celebrate Christmas, you have to

do it behind closed doors. When you have the freedom, exercise it.

Use it. We Malaysia is blessed. We have freedom of religion. Use

it. Don't be lazy. I'm sixty two years old, going up the

stairs coming down. It's not easy. Okay, it's very tiring, but

I still have to do it while I have energy. I have to do

it. I have to make a statement because in my neighborhood, I'm one

of a very few Christian homes. So we have to do it. We'll

be brought before rulers for namesake. Hey, I want to tell you,

so we got earthquakes, famines, pessidens. I just talked to you about

climate change. You know who controls the climate. Jesus is his name.

Jesus is his name. If you study the world's pattern over the last few

thousand years, this business of the earth heating up and cooling down, heating

up, including now is a normal phenomenon, polar caps, men melting and

then freezing up again. It happens all the time. But now the agenda

has been pushed to controls, to control persecution. So you call, you

be called to account for your beliefs. What do we do? We don't

cower in fear. The Bible says fear only God, And I want you

to know. In verse thirteen, it says all this will turn out for

an occasion for us as a testimony. Hey, guys, we are meant

to stand up there, and we're meant to take it like the Lord's people,

so that we can testify they will be saved by the word of their

testy money Verse fourteen. Therefore, settle it in your hearts not to meditate

beforehand on what you will answer. Verse fifteen says, I will give you

a mouth. Isn't it exciting? God will give us some mouth? You

mean we don't already? We have a mouth that some of us do not

use it. I give you an example. Okay. My family always says

I was born with a mouth that when I came out of my mother's womb,

I was already talking. I came out of a womb talking I could

get out of any kind of trouble. So anyway, in my house,

I was the time living in Pja, and my father built in aviary.

You know it's in avery. An aviary is where you keep birds. So

this was a big one, you know, where we had butgery guards,

you know, the very colorful little parrot kind of birds. My father was

rearing them and breeding them. You know, just a big avery. So

you had to enter one door, close that door, then you entered the

other door to go into the avery. Then you can put the feed,

you can clean. So it's really big. So I think it's about I

can't remember this morning or afternoon. My mother went in to feed the birds.

I was about three years old. I went and I locked it in

and she was there until my father came home from work. There's quite a

few hours in the bird gage. It was so terrible right now. My

father is an army manman. When he came back, he was furious,

Terrence, come here. Okay. My mother was now standing there and she

was looking my dad and mire. So my father asked me, why did

you do such a thing? Very angry tone, you know, very scary.

So my mom said, I looked him square in the face, and

I said, because the sky is so high and you are so low,

and the bird pooped in your eye. There was silence, and then both

my dad and my mother burst out laughing. They laughed and they laughed and

laughed. You think I got into trouble after that take away, I'll let

go. Why Because I had a mouth, I got out of trouble.

I want you to know, this is what God is in a way.

This is what the Lord is saying. When you get into trouble, he

will give you a mouth which all your adversaries, all your adversaries are,

will not be able to contradict or resist. We will be great testifiers during

the tough times. We will be great testifiers. We shall have a mouth,

not the kind of mouth we have now that talks a lot of nonsense.

But when God gives us a mouth, whatever we say, no one

will be able to refute, and no one will be able to stand with

stand. I hope you are getting something, because, like I said,

this is not a milk message. You have to be ready. Jesus is

coming again, if not in my life time, definitely in yours. Verse

sixteen. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends,

and they will put some of you to death. I want you to

know this isn't it The last time we talked about I think I explained about

how parents will betray their children and children will betray their parents. There's this

basketballer and his wife in the States. So the sun acts like a girl.

What have the parents done? They have sent him for gender reassignment means

that they will give him the drugs which they give to cast strade rapists,

and after that he will go for surgery to remove what is male about him.

Isn't that parents betraying the children? Think about it. The parent is

meant to look after and protect the child from harm. What has this parent

done? Has he not harmed his child? Has the mother not harmed the

child. Do you know how many of those that go through those surgeries,

when they grow a little bit older, regret it and they have come to

testify that there's nothing they can do to reverse it. But they hate what

they've done to their bodies because the people who were supposed to look after them

did not put sense into their head, but went in along with the nonsense.

Just because I say I'm a chad, does that make me a chad?

The most you can say is, yes, you're a chair. But

in your mind you're thinking I'm nuts. Correct. So just because I say

I'm a chair, does that make me a chair? Oh? I'm Chinese.

I can speak a little bit of manry Niehauma. Does that make me

a Chinese? No? But I am what I am, whatever I say

I am. In your mind, you're thinking, what's wrong with you?

That's exactly the case here. Parents will betray children, relatives and friends.

Hey, when I went to study in Singapore, I had relatives from here

called relatives from there saying, be careful of this guy, stay away from

him because he speaks these strange things. He talked strange. I'm talking the

Bible, I'm talking strange things stay away from him. Isn't that being betrayed?

I mean, I'm just going to Singapore to study. I'm meeting these

relatives in Singapore for the first time, and what have you done. You've

already given a bad report about me. But you know what, some relatives

fought with other relatives in Singapore because of me, because after meeting me,

they stood up for me, and you know they never reconcile. Isn't it

bad? But the ones who call from this side that side later apologized to

me and said, it's very we did a real injustice. After seeing your

life, we know that you are believing in the right thing. We're so

sorry what we've done. They will put some of you to death, and

you will be hated by all. For my namesake, if you ever wonder

why the most persecuted people in the world today are believers, and that has

been since since ancient times. But I want you to know, not a

hair on your head shall be lost by your patience possess your souls. Doesn't

it seem like a contradiction between verse sixteen and verse eighteen. They will put

some of you to death and then scripture saying don't worry. Not a hair

on your head will be harved. Have you ever read this verse before?

Have you ever wondered why you see English is? Let me tell it doesn't

give you the true picture. It means this. In verse sixteen death,

the word death is thanatos, very close to Thanos, the avengels Thanos.

I think that's where they actually derived his name from Thanatos. But it is

basically a hyperbol. It means it's exaggerated to mean a state of which you

feel like you're dying or you're finished. Have you ever say I'm finished?

I remember is the play the guy says I'm finished, deadler, you go

to work dreading because the report was not. Then you say I'm a dead

man. That's what this death means. That's what this word means. It

means that you feel as safe your life has ended. That's what it means.

But the second one, which says a not a heir on your head

will be harmed, means that is the actual no life finished death. So

basically what Scripture is saying is this, some of you will be put in

a state where you like you're dying, but don't worry about it. You

will not taste the physical death unless I say so. You understand that now

and verse nineteen, just be steadfast and endure and you'll be okay. But

verse twenty, this is the one I mean I've been reminding you about.

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation is

near. What do you think is happening? Now? Why do we pray

for the peace of Jerusalem? Do you have any idea why we pray for

the peace of Jerusalem? Because when that place is not at peace, where

we are will not be at peace. Also, did you know that our

peace is tiing with that piece. The world's peace is tiding with what happens

there. When the whole world turns against Jerusalem, and the whole world turns

against that little country, Jesus will return to defend it, and we will

all see him come. At the same time, they will fall by the

edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem

will be trampled by the gentiles until the time of the gentiles are fulfilled.

The situation is in the world today. You know that Middle Eastern country is

surrounded by its enemies. You just have to read what's going on every day.

They are going all out to destroy the terrorists, because if they don't

destroy the terrorists, the terrorists will regroup and come after him. And there

will be signs of the sun and moon and the stars, and on earth

the stress of nations with perplexity, the seas and the waves roaring climate change.

Scripture has already shown it said it these are all for us to know

what's about to happen. Men's hearts failing them for fear heart attacks. Men,

how common it is now? Thirty year old sportsmen are having heart attacks

and dying. There's another one who just recently passed away. If I'm not

mistaken, expectations of those which are coming on the earth, for the powers

of the heavens will be shaken faintings. This fainting is stressed and consciousness due

to lack of oxygen heart attacks. Powers of the heaven refers to the whole

world. Hey guys, this is scripture warning us Jesus is coming again soon

Verse twenty eight. Now, when these things begin to happen, what does

it say? Look up? Look up because yourself you're readmption draws near.

Do you know people who are sad and afraid do they look up? What

did they do they look down? What is Scripture saying, when you see

these things happen, look to Jesus, look out for Jesus, Look in

expectation for Jesus. Look up for your redemption draws near. But take it

to yourself, lest your heart be weighed down by carousing drunkenness and cares of

this life. And that day come upon you unexpectedly, for it will come

as a snare to those who dwell on the earth, those who face dwell

on the face of the whole earth. Keep your focus right, because if

you don't do it, the norms of life will keep your focus. And

when the norms of life keep your focus, it will be your trap.

You will not be ready. Hey, guys, things are happening in the

world today. Are you aware or we just bumbling through life? Watch therefore,

and pray that you may always be counted worthy to escape all these things,

which means that Bible is saying, pray that you can escape. It

means you have an escape. Who is that escape Jesus? Things will come

to pass and to stand before the son of men. We can pray that

these trials do not bring us down, but bring us up to Jesus.

I'm going to close very soon Matthew twenty four worse than he saven says.

But as in the days of Noah were, so it will be when the

sun of Man comes. For as it as in the days before the flood,

they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving into marriage until the day

that Noah entered the up and did not know until the flood came and took

them all away. So it will be. So will the coming of the

Son of Men be. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preaching the whole world as a witness

to all nations, and then the end will come. You know what the

scripture means. When the Ark was being built, and it took a few

hundred years for that arc to be, people were seeing Noah prepare for the

end of the world. And when they saw they were so caught up with

their lives, eating and drinking and given in marriage. And you know what

that means. They just carried on with life, and they did not see

this as a sign that they needed to repent. Maybe they might have gone

into the Ark with Noah. But no they didn't. When the flood came.

It was just too late. That's what scripture is telling us. Yes

we have to feed ourselves, Yes we have to work, but Scripture is

warning us, do not let the cares of this world trap us into thinking

Jesus won't come again. Look seventeen twenty eight, it says likewise. Also

it was likewise as it was also in the days of Lot. They ate,

they drank, they bought the salt, they planted, they built.

But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and

brimstone from heaven and destroyed them. Or even so it'll be when the Son

of Man is revealed. Just remember this, sir. The other thing about

the Saul's time. What was prevalent during Lot's time? Sorry, what was

prevalent homosexuality? The I Me myself movement. We are free, we can

do whatever we like. And what I say, I am. All those

kind of pronouns and all this kind of nonsense that the world is speaking about

today as it was in the days of Noah, in the days of Lot.

So shall it be another sign? See you and I cannot be caught

unawares of because Jesus now will reveal all this back to us, and then

he will ask us how come you didn't know the signs were all there.

People were not bothered despite the signs. They carried on with life. You

know, I want you to know one thing, but the end will not

come until the Gospel is preached to all nations. You and I think,

well, we don't know what God considers the gospel being preached to all nations.

But when he he does come, he will if we are if He

has asked that question by us, he will show us proof that the world

had the Gospel of Jesus Christ being preached all around, and the an shall

come. I had this in my heart to share with your because the last

time I heard the scripture being preached was probably in the eighties. How many

of y'all have heard this scripture being preached Looke, chapter seventeen. Very few?

Right, How many of you, when you have read this, understood

what's happening. That's a danger we cannot answer these questions. It's a danger

that we have not paid attention to the science. Guys. I'm so sorry

if I made you feel uncomfortable this morning, but I'm actually not so sorry,

because I hope that it'll open your eyes and open your heart to prepare

yourselves, because you see, you make it to heaven, you get that

to be with the lorder. You know, I'll be very happy already,

be very very happy. But it's okay because I will be there. So

if you choose not to listen, it's okay. I will still be there.

So I hope that everyone of us will be there together. Jesus is

coming again soon. Look at what's happening in the world. There is talk

that we are on the brink of w W three. All the pieces are

in play. Do you know why Japan attacked Malaya and the rest of the

Southeast Asian countries? Did they ever teach you that in history? How many

of you can remember if they taught you that in history? Why Japan attacked

any history students here? No? Okay, let me make it clear to

you. Japan believed the emperor was a god. And because they believed the

emperor was a god, they believed they were subjects of a living god.

And they felt that everybody else in Southeast Asia were low, people were beneath

their feet. Why because they were people of their God, so they believed,

why should you have all the resources? We should have the resources.

So when the world was sidetracked with the war that was happening in Europe,

Japan took that opportunity to attack Southeast Asian countries to get control over all the

resources. Know how long it took them. In less than two months,

they control the whole of Southeast Asia because Southeast Asia is not prepared for them.

What do you think is happening when America and its forces are concentrating on

the war Ukraine and now in the Middle East, What do you think China

is doing about Taiwan? They think they're sitting on their hands. They are

preparing. They are forced us. Why because if anything happens in Europe,

China will take Taiwan back and no one will be there to stop them.

So you see when Scripture is talking about these things, we have to pay

attention. We cannot be half eyed, our eyes closed. I hope I'm

not scaring you. But if I do scare you, scare you put that

fear in the Lord. It will give you wisdom. Do not fear the

world. They cannot do anything against you. Jesus has got to give them

permission. You're all right, and guys, with that, come to the

end of the message. I'm I do want to leave you with some encouraging

words. And these encouraging words are trust in the Lord with all of your

heart, lean not on your own understanding, and now acknowledge the Lord in

all of your ways, and he will make your path. We hope you've

been blessed by this message. For more information on our church, please visit
