The Most Important Thing Too Know For The End Times!

The Most Important Thing Too Know For the End Times!

There is so much talk in the Church today about the anti-christ, the end of times, the mark of the beast, about the rapture and when it will happen in relation to the Great Tribulation, even for a person who studies the Bible it can be confusing.

So what do we as believers think about all of the teachings and prophecies about the events taking place in the world and what the Bible reveals about the end times? What should we as believers think about all of it?

I have heard a few teach and I believe that we all need to take what is happening in the world today and what we see in the Bible and what people are teaching and prophesying about the end times, the anti-christ, the rapture, the mark of the beast and the Great Tribulation as a driving force to seek GOD in prayer, fasting, study of the Bible and fellowship with other believers.

In other words we as individual believers need to know what the Bible says more than what teachers and preachers say; we need to have a personal relationship with GOD that includes praying, fasting and personal time; so that no matter what happens, how it happens or when it happens our hope and trust are in GOD and not the teachings of others.

If we have a personal relationship with the True and Living GOD, if we know His Word the Bible and have a understanding of it’s teaching then we will not be concerned about whether the rapture takes place before the Great Tribulation begins, during the Great Tribulation or after the Great Tribulation. We will recognize the anti-christ and not worship them; we will not take the mark of the beast no matter the cost and we will be willing to die for our faith.

The teaching of Jesus is to know the times we live in and to be ready for His return because we do not know the day or hour of His return. We only know what the Bible teaches, that all believers are to be filled with His Spirit (Holy Spirit), to preach the gospel, lay hands on the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead until the moment He returns; that we are to resist the devil and stand fast in the liberty with which He set us free; that we are to be conformed to His image and have the mindset that He had; that we are to love each other and to love our enemies; we are not to worship anyone or thing other than GOD the Father, Jesus the Son and their Spirit and we are not to take the mark of the beast (true believers will know it when they are offered it). If we do these things we will be so busy the rest of the actually unimportant stuff that we get excited, worried and fearful about will not be a problem and He will be pleased with us upon His return.
