Prophecy and
2016 Capt.
Kelly Durant 1-10-16
Matthew 24: 4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 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.
2. Do you want
to know my future predictions for 2016? One, I predict that many so called
self-ordained “prophets” will predict that the end will arrive in 2016! One
reason is because 2+0+1+6=9 so it must be a bad omen since 9 is a mysterious
number! (Do you see how people can invent anything?) And the passing of planet X (Nibiru) near
earth must mean that the anti-Christ will come to power! Have you heard of that
and other strange predictions already?
Well, I
predict that everyone of us will get older this year… (ha!) so that this means
that Jesus return is closer than it was before, thank God! But in the meantime
it is no laughing matter how we as true sensitive compassionate Christians with
alert minds, worn out bodies, and perturbed spirts ache due to all the pain we
see the world in! So much deception, poverty, and murder! The suffering is as
Jesus described as ‘birth pangs’ that get more and more frequent!
Well, you know
enough Bible by now, due to the great Bible teachers we have around here, to
know that I and no one is qualified to add anything to what we already know
from Jesus predictions and revelations! If you or I put an exact timeframe on
predictions then we become as a false prophet because… Matt 24:36 But of that
day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But
many have tried, and nothing has happened yet!
3. In the
Salvation Army colleges no one is taught to adhere to any certain
interpretation of the signs of the endtime. Take into account most denominations
are not totally clear on “how to” interpret certain events so I think it is
wise to read all the current accepted interpretations in the Christian
community so come what may, one is at least informed as much as possible. We
need to know as much as possible so you and I can preach this gospel prophesy
from Jesus to warn others so their souls can be saved. The end of man is not
good, but Jesus has a place He is preparing for us in heaven! As the prophecies
happen, God will reveal more truth so we know.
In William
Booth’s day many thought that the 1900’s with the sudden futuristic leap in
progress of the industrial age, with all the new technology of railroads and
factories, for sure meant that man had reached a new progressive plateau.
People over one hundred years ago thought that for sure Jesus Kingdom was going
to be established on earth then and today we refer to those of this belief as
Postmillenialists. I will share with you a definition from Wikipedia on its
deeper meaning.
“Postmillenialism
was a dominant theological belief among American Protestants who promoted reform
movements in the 19th and 20th century such as abolitionism[2] and the Social
Gospel.[3] Postmillennialism has become one of the key tenets of a movement
known as Christian Reconstructionism. It has been criticized by 20th century
religious conservatives as an attempt to Immanentize the eschaton”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmillennialism
4. Contrary to what certain religious groups accept (that
Christ returned to earth in the 1900’s and we ignorant people just don’t see
Him because it was a spiritual, not physical event) I find we should just
adhere to what people have accepted for two millennium; that His return will be
a major invasion from space! His return will change everything locking in the
destiny of souls.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
How and when Jesus return will occur has been the debate for
centuries. I look at His return as a merging of our physical world with the
spirit world, a combining of our universe with the God’s Kingdom universe in
our multiverse universe. Scientists, with their mathematical multiverse
theories, prove what we already knew, that several worlds (some say 11, others
an infinity) currently coexist at the same time. This collision of universes will
bring about an eternal kingdom, which is a variable not well understood in our
current temporary existence, but with God, all things are possible!
5. The end is near but
not for any man (woman) to know the day and hour or the exact year for that
matter. How many times has the exact year of the predictions of Jesus returning
failed already? Probably thousands! Trying to be wise, people become fools!
Despite this clear message by Jesus Christ, many Christians
ambitious for undeserved attention, predict times and places of destruction.
When they predict, you should reject. I have watched several YOUTUBE videos
lately that are very convincing that the soon to come nuclear war will hasten
the return of Jesus and these wars may even start by April of this year! Just
thank God today no nuclear war began, and we must choose to live day to day
praying for peace!
Apart from timeframes, many evangelical groups, and even the
History Channel predict the places of destruction in the United States. The
assumption is we are long overdue a major hit of destruction, so possibly it
could even happen this year. Despite blanket forecasts, it is a reality that a
volcano such as Krakatoa, a mega 10 earthquake, a comet crash on earth, an
economic meltdown, or a possible nuclear war could cause all the world’s
systems to collapse and bring about mega destructions as described in
Revelation. Here is verse that confirms
the effects of nuclear war. Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague
wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against
Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and
their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth.
6. Why do we hear about impending doom so much? Because the
majority of people in the world who do not know Jesus have an appetite for
destruction, they even long even for their own destruction! Some people want
the glory of bringing down the system as well! Kind of like how Nero celebrated
while Rome burned down, the world leaders today are just as despotic as him and
currently practically all governing
systems are being hurled into chaos! This recurring theme of destruction
affects you and me in one way or another; to either want to be on a more
heightened alert and prepared, or to just live in a denial sleep ignoring the
spiritual warnings being deadened with prophecy fatigue.
Concerning what could happen this year people are either more
fearful, concerned, and stressed, or more distracted, asleep, or indifferent!
We as Christians are to remain prayerful, patient, and encouraging despite the
pain and fear we experience empathizing and supporting those who suffer!
Those who want to see mega-destruction and death, who have a
Satanic hateful nature, who want to help usher in the apocalypse, having a
secret death wish to die and be killed are this way because their sins and
guilty conscience haunts them! Like the
serial murderer who the police can’t catch because he hides the evidence too cleverly
until finally he wants them to stop him from his own evil so he leaves evidence
behind to get caught. Millions of demon possessed psychos want to help usher in
the apocalypse hoping this will bring about a higher new world order of peace reducing
the population. The problem here is their spirit will remain forever incarcerated
in their disturbed hellish destructive state once they die and Jesus returns! A
spirit that rejects God’s love and ways is destined to be sent to the jail of
hell to contain that evil.
Rev.22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be
righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I
come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be.
7. There is heavy persuasion in the Holy Scriptures of
the Bible that there will be a nuclear war or a mega destruction of some kind in
the Bible. Act 2:19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on
the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; 2 days Act 2:20 the sun
shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord
comes, the great and magnificent day. Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass that
everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Nuclear power is
now in the hands of dictators in unstable nations such as North Korea, Iran, and
Pakistan.
It is tragic how there is evidence of a “falling away” from
the faith of our Christian fathers. Many people today are a living abomination
to God as they are carnal, sick-minded, destructive, prideful irrational
sin-justifiers, being worthless consumers, unrepentant, not honoring God and hateful
persecuting God’s saints, the Christian people of the world. Why will God judge
with wrath? Because men have insulted Him and disrespected the life he created
on earth! War is man’s invention due to his sins of greed, hate, prejudice, and
lack of obedience to God’s Word!
8. The reality is this, there is evidence of an ever
increasing universal world-wide apostasy. Godless materialism, prideful humanism, and
murderous cult religions seem to be the god of choice lately as people in many
nations mock and murder those of faith (in particular the Christian faith) deeming
them as fools. They are the real fools accusing us as fools…I Cor. 1:14 But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.
The good thing is most of you here in this Corps are wide in
the things of God and have the Holy Spirit and you have already studied
Revelation several times and are aware of the 4 horsemen and of the 3 major
events involving the 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 vials.
It is conclusive that these coming destructions will occur sometime
in the future and they will actually involve 1/3 or the entire world with
devastations that have characteristics of some type of mega nuclear
destruction.
9. So do not get disturbed by predictions! All things are on
God’s clockwork, so all we can do is warn others hoping they understand God
wants to be worshipped, obeyed, and served as the time is short. It is not our fault Satan wants to destroy it
all, the victory is God will save our souls!
So I recommend that you do not trust in books on numerology,
individual predictions, alarming scientific statistics, politically motivated charlatans, and
preachers who exclude certain parts of the Bible to make fit prophecies to
their likings when they are just carnal men and not worthy of interpreting
prophecy! We are going to live with peace in our souls, no matter what may
come!
There are more and more false Christs Jesus like warned us
about! And all the new radical religious people in the world that demand that
you worship their prophet (who is not Jesus) are false prophets as well! Any
teaching that distorts, adds to, or takes away from the entire teachings and
prophecies of Jesus Christ who sits on the right hand of God, who reigns
forever and ever, who will have every knew bow to Him, are heresy and
blasphemy! The offense of rejecting God’s son carries a consequence!
10. The time to study more about the end-times is now! The
time to wake people up is now! The time to feel time is short is now! More and
more prophecies are coming together to be fulfilled and more and more nations
are gaining nuclear power. We know that there will be Satanic despots launching
them one day.
'Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the
earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Come and pray and get serious with God! Don’t think we have 7
more years or 1260 days before Jesus comes as those are markers concerning the
ant-Christ, but consider this: When you die, that is when Jesus returns for you!
The end of man’s kingdoms will come to an end, but our end may be sooner than
the final end. If your end comes soon, you will be blessed because you will
escape the tribulations to come! No one is guaranteed tomorrow and men’s hearts
will fail for fear! As we continue in in this year, pray for strength from the
Holy Spirit, warn others, and live in holiness! Just live ready to go, or ready
to stay and serve even if earth becomes hell!
