There are some passages in the scripture about the end times and the return of the Lord

that would have been difficult to comprehend, would have been difficult to even understand.

Only a few years ago, for example, in Revelation chapter 18, when it talks about a global,

worldwide economic collapse, you would have to say, what? I mean, Asia is Asia, Africa is Africa,

how can that be? The world was not interconnected, but it is now. As we study the Word of God,

we read about a number of signs that indicates the nearness.

Watching my words now, the nearness of the end of times.

For example, in Matthew 24, our Lord Jesus Christ said,

this gospel of the kingdom must be preached all over the world to every nation, as a testament to every nation,

and then the end will come.

Now, when you think about it, I am being watched right now, literally in every corner of the globe,

from the Philippines to Australia to Europe, to Africa, and we get messages from all over the world

right now. That would have been impossible 50 years ago. Among other signs, the Bible gives us

is the globalization which prepares the world for the Antichrist. The increase in knowledge. Knowledge used to double every

150 or 160 years. Now they're doubling every few weeks. Increase in knowledge. Ethnic tension.

The atmospheric change. Certainly it appears that we are the generation that are experiencing

all of these signs. Let me say this at the outset. I am not. I want to repeat this. I am not.

One of those stargazers. I really am not. I am not. I will repeat, I am not

advocate or ever advocate, and I'm going to show you why that's not biblical, ever advocate,

selling everything, putting on white robes and heads of the mountains. That would be absolutely contrary to the word of God.

That would be absolutely contrary to what Jesus said. The Lord Jesus tells us that those who

truly, truly believe in the eminence of the return of the Lord are compelled to work longer
