Biblical Prophecy
Good morning everyone.
Welcome to week 4 of our series Asking for a friend.
I am Chris Wiley lead pastor here at LWF.
This series was birthed out of our survey done at Easter time.
We want to know those tough questions that your friends keep asking you.
But we want to go to God’s word in order to get the answer because that is where the answer is found.
So let’s look at some of these #askingforafriend questions that have come in to us via facebook and twitter.
We have a couple more weeks of this series so send in your questions from your friend that we can highlight during the series.
(Insert slides)
Those are too good right there.
I love receiving all of them.
Keep them coming.
We have talked about thus far in this series How to know the will of God, we have talked about how to overcome fear and stress, last week we discussed how to get up from rock bottom.
If you havent seen any of those are you weren’t here, please go to our facebook page they are right there on it.
Listen to them and share them.
I want people to be free from this stuff and I knw your friends are asking it.
Because mine are too.
Next week we will be talking about religions and denominations.
Why so many?
Who is right?
Today is a bit different for us.
Today we are discussing a topic that is a bit taboo and has gotten a lot of attention as of late.
It is on all of our minds for sure.
I have heard statements about it and of course it came up on our survey a few times.
Truthfully for centuries this topic has been discussed and people have been trying to figure it out.
They have written books about it.
They have created whole movements about it.
People have died because they believed one thing or another about it.
Have I built up enough anticipation yet?
The topic is this.
Is the World Coming to an END?
Now not all of my firends are saying it the same way.
Some say how close are we to the rapture?
Some say I am ready for Jesus to come back.
Some say did you see that blood moon?
Then there are others that simply ask how close are we.
Like I said earlier for 2000 years Christians have been looking at the signs of the times and wondering is this the end.
Is this the sign we have been waiting for.
And with good reason because the bible isn’t silent about the end.
Look at this.
There are 216 chapters in the New Testament.
Over 300 references to “End Times.”
Its a big deal.
Of the 27 books of the New Testament, 23 of them talk about the “End Times
Some major authors talk about the end times.
Peter, James, John but really Jesus put the “end times” on the radar and really spoke in prominence about it.
One of the most famous references comes in Matthew.
So go ahead and open your bible Matthew chapter 24 and let’s look at what Jesus says here.
Starting in verse 3.
Matth
So here is what the disciples were really asking.
They were wanting to know about the clock of the world.
If midnight is the end, when it is all over, how close are we.
And really that is a smart question to ask.
Because the further away the end is the less urgency you have to get things done.
So throughout the new testament people were asking this question of how long do we have.
You know it and I know it the way you live your life with plenty of time is way different then with little time.
We all know the idea of the bucket list.
Things you want to do before you…kick the bucket.
This idea usually doesn’t take affect though until you reach this time before your midnight.
People are thinking about the bucket list back here.
We should be.
Becuase when you wait until the time is alomst up, you don’t get thet choice of how you want to live it.
I mean whether it be old age or some form of a disease, when it is within your last week of life it isn’t a party for you physically.
There is no energy, there is no motivation, it is a sad place.
Why?
Because we live our lives thinking that we have plenty of time to get all of these things done before we die.
The truth is, you have to live every day as though this could be the very end.
Right now I could reach midnight.
Which is why if you ask me I believe Christianity has been so powerful and world changing.
Because if you go back throughout church history, the greats in the kingdom, thought at any moment the Lord could return.
That this coud be the end of the age.
We are living in the end times.
They would right about it, preach about it, and more importantly live it.
It made them look at each moment of their day in their life as precious and valuable and needed to be used to further the kingdom of God.
They lived with urgency.
They got married early.
Why becuase they weren’t going to go to heaven before eating of the marital fruit.
And they were right.
It wasn’t the end of all time but it was the end of their time.
They were closer to that everyday they were alive.
When it comes to the time clock, then end of all time doesn’t really matter.
What matters is your time clock.
And listen to me…it is ticking.
So let’s answer the question that your friends are asking of you.
Is the world about to end or another way we put it is
The New King James Version.
(1982).
().
Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
When is Jesus coming back?
I have NO clue.
I don’t have the inside track.
I don’t have a book to tell you 18 reasons why Jesus is coming in 2018.
I didn’t read the 88 reasons he was coming in 1988 because I was only 7. I can’t tell you who the anti-christ is whether it be putin, trump, obama, or even one of you watching.
All that I can do and offer you is a look into the scripture.
The place of God’s truth.
If you want to know somehting he is talking about, you have to go there.
So I want to give you the answer that Jesus gave the disciples when they asked this very question.
They said when is all of this going to happen.
Jesus didn’t give a date a time but he gave some signs for us to look at.
