Where Are We In Mat 24? (MA14)

  'Beginning of Sorrows – 3 Seals'
 
Mat 24:3  Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tellus, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
     Our Lord's disciples enquired about the signs of His coming so He taught them endtime events primarily for the consumption of those living in the last days.

Important Events since 1993
Mat 24:4-5  And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many."
   Endtime will only begin with the appearance of the false anointed christ who will deceive the whole world and also Christians as well. This happened in 1993 when US President Clinton formulated the abominable PLO-Israel Peace Treaty, which was signed by Israel and approved by all UN members and almost all Christians and churches. Coincidentally, this Treaty also initiated the Last Generation and the First Seal.
    This treaty ruined the faith that Christians had in the Bible and indirectly their faith in Him. Giving away Jericho; and Gaza strip, where David killed Goliath, showed the faithlessness of the Jews and Christians in the Bible. It is as good as denying the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus or the Word made flesh.
    With this great deception, misled Christians lost their fear of God, and without that fear, we see an alarming rise of depravity in Christians and their leaders, with many becoming agents of the Devil as false christs.

Many False Christs Arise
These false christs have brought all types of heresies into churches and have destroyed the faith of many Christians. Some of these heresies are:
1. Secret rapture – Jesus can come at any time without any warnings or signs, thus negating all endtime teachings of our Lord.
2. Prosperity gospel – encourages Christians to be worldly, covetous and conniving.
3. Born again Christians – can be demon possessed.
4. Accepting homosexuality – some bishops and pastors are found to be gays, an abomination to God
5. Same sex marriages – are held in churches making them the dwelling place of demons, and prisons for every foul spirits.

These false christs are so successful that abominable churches are favoured over God- fearing churches. Incidentally, during this time, three Seals had been opened:
1993 First Seal, PLO-Israeli Peace Treaty
1994 Second Seal, Rwandan Genocide
1997 Third Seal, Asian Financial Crisis starting the disparity of rich and poor to widen faster.
_ 2000 Y2K computer bug was not an issue, and also no rapture as expected by many unlearned Christians.

Mat 24:6-7  And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

Rumors of Wars
Rumors of Israel backed by the US and Saudi Arabia attacking Iran are rampant.

Fourth Seal - Awaiting World War 3 to start
    World War 3 will kill so many, it is like the end of the world (the end is not yet). Along with the natural calamities, a quarter of all mankind will be killed (fourth Seal).
