Special thanks to Pastor Ken Severa, Beam Fender Funeral Home, the Sardinia Life Squad, and the Pall Bearers Cameron McCall, Randy Mullins, David Sword, Chad Fuller, Tim Ralston, Clinton Hanselman, and Dylan Taylor. God Bless each and everyone of you, Eileen McCall and family.
PROPHESY #2 Last week I said that the second and third questions that the disciples asked Christ in Matthew 24:3 were still pending. I left off talking about the famines which the Bible tells us are coming. I said that it has been projected that by the year 2031 the world population could possibly reach 14 billion people. I raised the question: will we be able to grow enough food to feed the people. There are people today advocating that we do not eat meat. I Timothy 4:3-4 tells us of a time when it will be against the law to eat meat. It states: “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving.” In the future the antichrist will forbid people to eat meat. Therefore, it will create an even worse famine because the animals that can not be eaten will eat the food that the people would normally eat. Is it possible that the needs of animals will be put before the needs of people? It’s possible. Ladies and gentlemen, that is what Jesus is talking about is in Matthew 24:7. The prophecies in that verse are still future although nothing that I am talking about is new to your ears. If you have heard the news or read the papers you know that what I am saying is being talked about, only they are telling it in a little different way. Now I know that some say that all these famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places are things of the past or are things that always happen. However, these particular prophecies of this chapter have not yet come to pass. They did not happen in the time of Christ nor in any other time. We know that because of verse 15! “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand;)” That has not been fulfilled. We know that simply because there is no holy place. The temple of God in Jerusalem was the only place which was called the holy place. It was destroyed in 70 A.D. The abomination of desolation, which is the antichrist (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11; II Thessalonians 2:4), has not come yet; therefore he can not stand in a temple which has not
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com yet been rebuilt. He will stand in a future temple! The Jews are, even as we speak, planning to rebuild the temple. They even have a model of what the new temple will look like. They are saying right now that they have everything ready except the Ark of the Covenant and the temple itself. However, according to Jewish guide in Israel, they will not build the temple until the Messiah comes. We believe that the temple can not be built until the church is removed in the Rapture and the 7 year Tribulation period, which is called the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), begins. Then the antichrist, who the Jews will accept as their Messiah for the first 31/2 years (John 5:43), will give permission for the temple to be constructed (Rev. 11:1 is where we find this temple). At the end of that time the antichrist will reveal himself for who he really is and the Jews will flee into Petra. Matthew 24:16: “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.” Verse 21: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” This has never happened yet but it is going to happen. Believe me, you do not want to be here when it does! Unless you want to personally experience something far worse than the holocaust then you better get saved (Romans 10:9-13). Repent of your sins, pray and ask God to forgive you, and start serving Him. Listen, God will restore Israel after this Great Tribulation period and Christ will reign over them for 1000 years in perfect peace (Isaiah 11:6-9). However, Jew and Gentile alike will go into the Tribulation if they refuse God’s simple plan of salvation. Be ready for the Rapture (I Thessalonians 4:13-18) and miss the Great Tribulation. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour today!
