A Sign the End is Near...

by Rand K. Walden

"Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” Matthew 24:1,2

A few years ago, the Lord spoke to me in a dream and he said the time of the traditional church is coming to an end; and I saw a pastor standing in the middle of a store-front church and he was distraught because the church was empty. Those who are going to follow the cloud, so to speak, are going to open their homes and have they will have "church" in their homes or something less conspicuous. Much of this is because of persecution that will come on the Church and many of the churches will be boarded up.

This looks like a bleak day for the church but no so. This will cause the Church of God to become more intimate with Him and each other and many souls will be saved and lives will be transformed as a result. And this is crucial to the plan of God because things will only get worse. But for the saints of God, the body of Christ will grow to be that Church the Apostle Paul talked about in Ephesians 5:27, where the Lord presents "her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless."

Yes, this will be a time of persecution as the dragon does his best to destroy the man-child of God but for the world, it will truly be unbearable to those who do not have this hope, this glory, which is, Christ in you. Just think, Apocalypse. Every movie you ever saw about the "End of Days" or the Apocalypse will pale in comparison for you will be living it. But for the child of God, there will be divine help for those who have abandoned all and followed Christ. In the coming days, you will see if you choose to, the end is very near. Give your life to Christ while you can and start learning to trust in him. God bless you! Have a great day!
