JESUS SAID

In

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. This is the condition that would exist just before Jesus returns and is found as you can see in Matthew 24 in answer to the question asked by His disciples. Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Jesus begins His answer to the question regarding both the signs and the social condition that will exist in the world just before He returns.

The Signs

1. DECEPTION worldwide: Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Is friend, deception a problem in the world today? Has there been a new phrase coined called "fake news?"
2. APOSTATE FALSE MINISTERS: Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Has there been in the 20th century the rise of the "Mega Church" prosperity preachers who are in the ministry for the financial selfish benefit for themselves?
3. VARIOUS WARS: Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. In 1775 in America the Revolutionary war between England and early America began, and since that time America has been involved in one way or another in over a 187 various wars.
4. RACIAL, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, INTERNATIONAL UNREST ALONG WITH VARIOUS PESTILENCES, FAMINES, AND EARTHQUAKES ALL OVER THE WORLD: Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. In the Greek the phrase "nation shall rise against nation" is rendered "ethnos shall rise against ethnos." Are we seeing this today all acoss the American soil and even International because of the death of a single individual? Are politicians fighting among themselves today and have been for the last 40 years since 1980 and even before that time? Is the American society one against another as the Democrats and the FBI calls for the mantra "If you see something say something" wanting people to rat out their neighbors and many millions are actually doing that? Are Protest taking place in America and around the world today? Has Ebola, Sar's, Mer's, Covid-19, Measles, Tuberculosis, Malaria etc. become common place? Are Earthquakes the world over increasing today? Just since 1/7/2020 when I began to monitor worldwide Earthquakes with magnitude 6.0 and above. Just in 151 days into the year as of today June the 5th 2020 there has been worldwide some 25 Earthquakes 6.0 and above some above 7.0 many below 6.0 take place is a very short time.
5. Jesus said: Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
6. Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. This verse spans many years from after the Crucifixion in 31 A.D. and will run through time from that time until Jesus returns. It was a warning to the early disciples and it's a warning to the "end time" disciples of Jesus during the time of the Mark of the Beast.

· Mat 24:10-12 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Just as the original 12 Apostles were ratted out to the authorities and murdered in their day, so too will the same situation appear again at the "end of the world" just before Jesus returns. People will be offended "such as the current protest against "police brutality", people will betray one another "i.e. the If You see Something say Something" mantra. Racial hatred will be present and people will hate one another simple because of their "skin color" or because they are perceived to be uneducated and inferior. Fake phony ministers will rise to prominence and deceive many in the church i.e. the presidents "faith advisory board" is currently deceiving the sitting president to believe that he is the "chosen one" yet he himself has denied the title. Talk about deception!

Then comes the final sign Jesus gave us. He stated: Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Iniquity can be translated here as "selfishness" that will abound among mankind just before Jesus announces His next few statements found here in Matthew 24. Mat 24:12 And because "SELFISHNESS" shall abound, [Be DOMINANT] the love [Fod GOD and MAN] of many shall wax cold. Real love motivated through compassion will grow cold of become absent from the mind i.e. the hearts of humanity. We are seeing this today played out before our very eyes in these national and international protest, within politics, within the main stream media, the social media.

Back in the 60's when I was growing up it was illegal to even mention the word F*ck in public and considered shameful. Today it's plastered on "T" shirts through media cameras on every T.V. screen tuned in to watch the rioting. It's an everyday occurrence on social media, shouted from the top of the lungs for those with no shame, no conscience, no desire to do good either physically or verbally let alone socially. The world has become just about totally "godless" and it won't be long before the Son of Man intervenes in this world. You have heard it said that "Jesus is Coming Soon" you and I have heard this all our lives, just as everyone has heard it since the days of the Apostles in the first century A.D.

Now think for a moment, think back a generation before you, before that generation all the way back to the time of the Apostles in the first century A.D. We are now (two thousand twenty) years closer to the Coming of Jesus. The scripture says: Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Since God is NOT bound by time 10,000 years to Him is only 10,000 days or 27 human years. Peter stated: 2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Hebrews date the creation as 3761 B.C.E. but as their record shows they have always been wrong and didn't even know the time of their visitation. When speaking of the coming destruction of Jerusalem Jeremiah the prophet stated twice the following: Jer 10:15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. Again in Jer 51:18 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

TWO exact statements worded in the original without the cursive words added by the translators as: They vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. Jeremiah could have said: "at the time of their deserved destruction" as that is what the word "visitation" means. God has a "cut-off" point with humanity and that "cut-off" point that will bring about the "end of the world" is nearer than you might think friend. God stated to Moses: "Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Exactly a 120 years later God using a flood destroyed wicked humanity. Mankind today is trifling with God just before their destruction. They know NOT the time of their visitation! It happened with the antediluvians, to Jerusalem, and it will happen to the entire world when Jesus arrives back to gather His own.

Since with God a thousand years is as a single day, and since the Creation took only seven days to complete, could it be possible that those seven days specified at the creation consisting of "one week" signify the existence of humanity's probation period of 7000 years? Since Jesus is believed to have been born between 3-2 B.C.E. is it possible that His birth year marked a time period of the elapse of 4000 years which would then place the Creation beginning at 4003.5 B.C.E.? If that's the case we take 4003.5 B.C.E. and add since we are in 2020.5 A.D. we would get 4003.5+2024.0 the end of May 2020.5 taking into account the perceived birth year of Jesus beteeen 3-2 B.C.E. and we get to the year 2024.0 instead of 2020.5. We then use these years 4003.5 add 2024.0 and to date we get 6027.5 total years since the creation began. Into that 7000 year time frame. When we subtract from 7000 the number 6027.5 we get 972.5 years left for the 7000 years to complete. However, God says that He will shorten those days here: Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

This means that the most this world as we know it today could exist would be to the year 2996.5. Let's see if my numbers calculate? 4003.5+2996.5=7000 exact years from 4003.5 to 3-2 B.C.E. would then be 4000 years elapse from creation to Christ. The new era we call "Anno Domini " or A.D. began then in mid 3 B.C. and NOT at the supposed time accounting. Therefore we should reckon time as A.B.C. "After The Birth of Christ" instead of the now used "A.D." thus making the year we are actually in today 2020.5 the end of May plus 2.5 years B.C.E. time at the birth of Jesus thus we are in 2020.5+2.5 which makes us actually in the year 2023.5 and NOT 2020.5

4003.5 adding 2023.5 and we get 6027.0 from creation day one. 7000 minus 6027.0 is 973 years. 6027.0 plus 973.0 is 7000 total years or the year 2996.5 A.B.C. 4003.5 B.C.E. plus 2996.5 A.B.C. totals 7000 years from Creation day "ONE" to the "END of the World" originally intended by God. But Satan intervened through Adam and Eve in the FALL and God had to change His plans. He first made a change in the time of Noah and He wiped the world slate clean and started over with the family of Noah. This did not, however, change the original allocated time for humanity that continued from 4003.5 B.C.E. to today in 2023.5 A.B.C. (After the Birth of Christ). Because Jesus stated that no, no not the angels of heaven would know the hour nor day of His return. Mar 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

What do you see in the differences between these two verses? In Mark 13:32 the word "that" is added before the word "hour." In Matthew 24:36 the word "man" is added between the two "no's". Mark would read in the original "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. In Matt. 24:36 the verse would read: But of that day and hour knoweth no,no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Since the word "man" is not in the original text of Matthew 24:36, where did Mark get his record using the word "man?" He got it from Matthew 24:36 and wrote the word "man" in that he understood the phrase found in Matthew 24;36 which was specific "but my Father only." Therefore Mark's account reads "no man," based on the phrase "but my Father only" in Matthew's account where the word "man" is not found in the original text.

`It's so true that no man will know the day nor the hour of the coming of Jesus. Even if Jesus chose to reveal it to a specific single man, that man still couldn't proclaim the exact time of the arrival of Jesus. WHY? Because of Matthew 24:22! God is once again going to change His mind on the allocated time for humanity for the sake of His people just as He did for Noah. This is a second connotation of the words of Jesus when He stated here: Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. What began in the beginning to be an established 7000 year timeframe, was interrupted by the "Fall in Eden" when Lucifer turned Satan's "INIQUITY" i.e. selfishness entered into humanity and man became "only evil continually." Then God changed His mind about mankind and said: Gen 6:6,7 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.INIQUITY which is SIN at its roots permeated the entire Creation NOT just man.

This is the primary reason Jesus said that His FATHER would know the day and the hour. Jesus was NOT saying that He didn't know, He very much knew as He Himself stated that: Joh 10:15(a) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father. Then He stated: Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. Jesus knew well the very moment He spoke Matthew 24:36 that He knew the exact day and hour that He would return back to this Earth. Many use both Mark and Matthew to preach that not even Jesus knew the time He would return and that is to preach a lie and take scripture out of context totally. Even God the FATHER called Jesus God and if Jesus is GOD and we know that He is, He knew well the day and the hour of His Second Coming back to this Earth before He ever died. Hebrews 1:1-7 and this statement by God the FATHER: Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

No folks what I have done in the essay is NOT to try to predict the Second coming of Jesus. NO one but the FATHER and the SON is privy to that information! All I have done here is layout the condition that will be present in the world just before that time arrives, and to give you some timeframes to consider. The most this world could stand as a created inhabited world would be to the year 2996 if God chose NOT to change His mind, but as He said for the "elect" His obedient servants in order to redeem them from off this wicked world, HE will shorten the days. How short we don't and can't know that is why Jesus told us to watch and pray. Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The WATCHMAN !!!
