May 18, 2024 – Watchman River – Prepare for the future: Rapture and tribulation.

Tom says he us going to give end times signs, more than ever, to impress how close we are to the rapture and coming tribulation.

The signs –

1. Israel is a nation, 1948, 76th year this year.  Isaiah 66:8. 1st major prophecy fulfilled.

2. War of October 7, 2023.  Israel in war at end times to bring a peace covenant.  Daniel 9:27.  Makes sense it leads to the rapture.

3.  Israel troubles.  World agains Israel.  Zachariah 12:2-3

4. Increase in Christian persecution.  More that has ever been, all over the world.

5. Apostasy in the church.  Not a Biblical world view.  Don’t talk about sin, blood of Jesus.  Majority of churches talk about God, not Jesus.  

6.  Wars and rumors of wars.  Threaten nuclear war, major powers.  Russia, China, Iran, US, North Korea.

7.  Riots, protests – unrest, violent, especially in the big cities.

8. The spread of Gospel has gone out, even to remote areas.  Have the phones, internet.  The Gospel will go everywhere during the tribulation.   Matthew 24:14

9. Increase in immorality and sexual perversion as Lot.  Luke 17:28-30.

10.  Failing economy all over the world.  US has a fake economy, that won’t last.

11.  Increase in natural disasters, unprecedented floods, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, lead to famine.

12. Pestilence and plagues.  2020 was very significant.  More is forecast.

13. Strange things in the sky.  Seen it.

14. Mockers and scoffers.  2 Peter 3:3-4 – predicted “where is the promise of His coming?”  Tom gets many mockers and scoffers on the comments. 

15. Increase in deception, lies.  “New truth”, add to Word of God.

16. Increase in knowledge.  Daniel 12:4 – Daniel seals until the end.  Until knowledge increases.  It has, in  all aspects including what we can know from the Word. 

17. Lawlessness, see on the very top.  Elite down to everyone, increasing.

18. Love of many grows cold.  See attacks on each other.

19.  Increase of false prophets .  Many on YouTube, beware when they say they have a “new word.” 

Listen to the Holy Spirit and the Word.  John 10:27-28.  My sheep hear My voice.

20.  Technology for Mark of the Beast.  Chip or mark, is here.

21. One world monetary system.  CBDC, control people through money.  Can start anytime.

22. 3rd temple.  Everything is ready.  Read about one in the Middle of the Tribulation.  Red Heifers are here.

23. AI that is satanic, in entertainment, fake.  All ramp like birth pains, more frequent and intense.  Very last days.  

Gospel – 

How serious  the times we are in, need to know Jesus, don’t be left behind.  Those left behind can accept Jesus but would be beheaded for it.

The Gospel is the most important thing.  We all have sinned and sin and are headed for death.  Is why Jesus had to come, to die to remove sins so we can live.  He loves us.  He is calling each one to be saved.  Only need to believe He came from heaven, perfect, God and man.  Fulfilled the law.  Gave His life for us. 

Admit we sin, believe He took all of our sins on Him. Believe  and receive His salvation, forever.

Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”

Psalms 103:12. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Micah 7:19 “He will again have compassion on us and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depth of the sea.”

Must come to faith or will not have sins forgiven and go to hell forever.

Pleads – Be saved today – time is short.
