Prophecy and current Events

The Last Days Vs the Endtimes

We are in the Church Age- the God always moves on the earth through People-

Judges were people

Kings were people

prophets were people

The Church is the church group through which God moves on this earth-

Break it down even further:

Moses was a man who operated in the office of Prophet and Shepherd

Daniel was a Prophet

David was a King

Aaron was a priest.

Ephesians 4:11–13 ESV

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

Each Role is filled by a person who is anointed for the office that they ministry in

What times are we living in?

We are living in the Last Days-

Biblical Definition: The phrase "last days" refers to the time period beginning with the first coming of Jesus (His death, resurrection, and ascension) and continuing through the church age.

✅ Summary:

Started with the ministry of Jesus.

Characterized by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and moral decline.

Refers to the entire Church Age until Jesus returns.

Acts 2:17–21 NLT

‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

We are living in the Last Days- Which is the time of the Spirit

It is a Time where salvation is flowing to all who call on the name of the Lord

John 16:7–9 NLT

But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.

For the World

1 John 2:18 NLT

Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come.

The Last days are a time of the world aligning itself to the antichirst system

One world Government

One World Religon

One World Ruler

The Spirit of the Anit-Christ is already in the World

1 John 4:3 ESV

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

This is the great tension- God’s Kingdom coming, and the Antichrist system trying to establish

The World is currently aligning itself with Rev 13

2 Timothy 3 ESV

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2. Satan cannot overcome the Church

The Anti-christ is totally controlled by Satan

Matthew 16:18 NLT

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 NLT

And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.

NKJV 1 Thess 1:10

1 Thessalonians 1:10 NKJV

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
