The Latter Day Unveiling by Jesus Christ

 The Latter Day Unveiling by Jesus Christ - by Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/the-latter-day-unveiling-by-jesus-christ/ In a recent Lifeway poll they found only 2% of churches in the USA teach Bible prophecy. This is an amazing latter-days stat for several reasons: 1- Roughly 30% of the Bible is prophetic. They’re ignoring almost 1/3 of the scriptures. 2- 100% accuracy in past prophecies fulfilled literally separates the Bible from every other book on the planet. It not only claims to be written by God, it proves it by predictingthe future. 3- The entire Book of Revelation was prophetic when written. Today everything from Revelation 6 forward is still in the future and likely to be fulfilled within the next 7-14years. 4- The Book of Revelation is the only book that promises Believers a special blessing for even trying to read and understand it. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; Rev. 1:3a I once read comments on Rev. 13:16-17 (Mark of the Beast) in a turn-of-the-19th-century commentary. The writer explained that each bank could have a person standing insidewith a list of those forbidden to bank, and unless you got the OK-nod from him, they wouldn’t let you transact business. That is silly and naive to us, but it just goes to show you that people over a hundred years ago were studying the Book of Revelation, as best they could, and receiving God’sblessings for the effort. The Book of Revelation is a critical source to understand prophecy today. It’s sort of an organized outline of most of the major Old Testament prophecies of the latter days.Plus it adds critical info that helps make more sense of the 2600-year-old prophecies. The word “Revelation” in the Greek is “Apocalupsis.” This is why it is often referred to as “The Apocalypse,” which is from the verb “Apocalupto” which means “to unveil” andthe word “Kalumma,” which is “a veil.” Therefore Apocalupsis means “the taking away of a veil.” And because the book is primarily dealing with the seven years of Tribulation, it’s most important to those of usliving just before the Rapture. Jesus is pulling back the veil so we can see how it all fits together. The Book of Revelation is largely Jewish. This is seen in its “signs” and “symbols” like the Tabernacle, the Ark, the Altar, the trumpets and plagues, and of course the sealingof the 144,000 JEWISH evangelists preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. But the Church is in chapters 2 and 3, Israel in chapters 6-19 and the nations of the world in chapters 20-22. It reveals God’s ultimate plan, a new heaven and earth withoutdemocrats. Sorry, I meant sinners (Childers strikes again!). Just before Jesus’ crucifixion, His disciples asked Him when would the end of the age (not the end of time) come about? Jesus said no one knew the day nor the hour, not evenHim, only the Father. “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” Mark 13:32 That was obviously true when He told His disciples. But it’s not true today because in Revelation 6 we see Jesus having qualified to receive all knowledge through His sinlesslife and atoning death on the cross. Today, He can’t make that same statement because He DOES know. In the Book of Daniel, it says to “seal up” the words until the end of the Times of the Gentiles. In the Book of Revelation, which dovetails with Daniel, John is told to “sealNOT the words for the time is at hand”… meaning the Church Age. “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” Deut. 29:29 This explains that the Book of Revelation is Jesus revealing His wrath and purpose while shedding light on the time at hand. This is why the Book of Revelation means so much for Believers today. Jesus gave this book to all Believers, but the most important group to study would be those alive atthe very end of the Church Age with spiritual discernment. And God promises through Amos that He WOULD reveal to us what is going on. Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 And from Jeremiah: The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and until He has accomplished the intent of His heart; In the latter days you will understand this.Jer. 30:24 Yet only 2% of churches even attempt to try to understand the thrust of the Bible’s teaching in hundreds of Bible prophecy verses. I know one thing, Satan sure doesn’t want Believers to study prophecy because it gives people hope. Through prophecy we find out we can live boldly in the face of the approachingstorm because we know we’ll be rescued before the Wrath of God is unleashed on the earth. Avoiding teaching Bible prophecy is probably why so many churches today are dead as a doornail and/or woke. Good grief, we’re privileged to be living at the time of a hugedispensational change—the end of the Church Age and the beginning of the Tribulation. And most Christians have no clue. But you and I do have a clue. We are part of a Berean group who makes sure anything we’re taught is actually coming from scripture—steel on steel. So as we see things getting a little dicey before the Rapture, regardless of what year, stand tall on scripture. Be a witness by allowing people to see you trust Jesus andthe Bible above all else. Be a compass and point to Christ. And always keep in mind God is in control. We don’t know what He will allow in the future to be exposed to change the current direction. Remember Trump in 2016! For all weknow, the Bidens, Clintons and the rest of the scumbags could be massively exposed to buy us a few more years of witnessing in peace. CQLJ! BP but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVEHIM.” 1Cor. 2:9
