Good morning and welcome. We're so glad that you're with us online. This is our first service.

We have two services on Sunday mornings, the first of which is the Bible prophecy update

that we do weekly. And then second service, which will be live streamed at 1115 a.m. Hawaii

time is our verse by verse study through the Word of God. We are currently in the book of James

And as such, it makes people so uncomfortable and so much so that they unfriend us on social media. Just saying. But it's just avoided and ignored entirely

because no one wants to talk about this elephant in the room.

Well, the elephant that I need to talk with you about today is that of the seriousness,

and I mean seriousness, and the swiftness with which Bible prophecy is unfolding.

Namely, as it relates to what's now happening in the world, being exactly what we're told will happen at the end of the world.

I realize I'm being somewhat generic, but if you'll hear me out, I will be more specific.

Scripture is replete with prophecies about the time of the end.

And one of the most encouraging of all comes from the Savior himself in the Gospel of Luke,

the 21st chapter. In response to a question from the disciples concerning the signs of the end
