We should have the knowledge of this truth so that you will be free from any entanglement that tends to destroy; rather you will become a serious minded person, doing everything in the Lord to make heaven at last.

2 Tim 3:1-5 says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Matt 24:3-6,11-14, “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

God has deemed it necessary for you to read this message, so that no Christian all over the world would be taken unawares or have the cause to say ‘I did not hear.’
All the scriptures you have hitherto read are facts that, indeed, it is the end times and things, which characterise the end times and all that, will help us understand that the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is at hand. This is more so because of the dangerous times that lie ahead of all believers in the faith, due largely to the increase of wickedness of the wicked promoted by the devil; the increase of materialistic items and their pursuit and if care is not duly taken, many believers would be made to lose their focus, which may make them to attempt to copy the fashion of this world and thereby mar their future in the Christendom.

Those who have the grace or the ability to read and understand the Bible should do so now to discover the times we are all into. It is the very last times and shortly after, Christ will appear in the skies to rapture the saints and only those who are ready like the wise virgins, who are constantly maintaining purity both inside and outside will make it.

Believers should be watchful, prayerful and never go to sleep like the people in the world or in darkness. Believers are in the light and we know that almost all the signs of Jesus coming are in evidence all over, and so we must never be distracted or lose sight of the Lord’s coming, having received the grace via our salvation and followership of Jesus.

The apostles were spiritually minded believers and as a result, were eager to know the spiritual things and timings. It was in their quest for such knowledge that they enquired from the Master Jesus Christ the signs of His coming and of the end of the world as we have seen in Matt. 24:1-3. We, too, should follow after their steps, if we are truly born again and desire to make heaven at the end of our sojourn on earth. We must, therefore, never be ignorant of the spiritual timing and programming of God Almighty and if the reverse is the case in your life as a believer, it will gravely endanger both your life and soul.

We should have the knowledge of this truth so that you will be free from any entanglement that tends to destroy; rather you will become a serious minded person, doing everything in the Lord to make heaven at last.
