Today’s topic is on the
awakening of churches.
I have some friends who are
truck drivers. A few weeks ago, when I was preparing for this sermon, I
overheard some of them talking amongst themselves. One of my friends said,
while he was on the road, he saw a lot of people carrying ammunition and
travelling with guns, because he was driving for work across the United States from California
to Michigan .
He said that he saw a lot of mobs travelling, he was also worried they would
come and rob his car. He said to me on the phone that we, Canadians should get
ready to protect ourselves too, in case of riots breaking out. And look at
today’s North America , it is so different from
how we’ve known it before. The media is filled with news about murders every
day. If not that, then it is something else that has to do with terrorist
attacks. Crisis is everywhere.
Us, now on the other hand,
though sitting in our seats at church, we always avoid talking about Jesus’
return. But listen, it is near. The day of Lord Christ’s return is near. Yet,
we avoid talking about this, because more of less, we have this fear within us.
We fear to talk about the end of the days, because if we do, people might start
leaving church. We all seem to find ourselves at ease at church, but little do
we know that the end of the days is near. We are in deception thinking that
everything around us is just fine, but in reality, the truth is, unless you walk with God, then nothing, I
repeat, unless you walk with God Lord, nothing would be as fine as you think!
Not only emotionally, but also
spiritually, we will suffer from depression (the wicked will become ever so
more vicious, and the righteous will become more righteous). Why’s that? Well,
because those ones have never came to understand the true warnings. They don’t
know what’s about to happen to them and their family, and yet to their
churches. I’ve always been hearing that as long as we believe in God, trust
God, as long as we fulfill those, everything else can be taken out of the
equation. This sounds good right? But it is truly naïve. Just by pure belief
and submission, there is really then nothing else we need to do? Hosea 4:6
says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected
knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your
children.” In fact, we need them both, faith and preparation. We cannot say
that all of our days on earth are null and void, because they are directly
related to our life, the promised, and the destined. You have to
understand the importance of them!
Hebrews 11:7 tells us that, “By faith Noah, when warned about things not
yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he
condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping
with faith.”It did not just say here that Noah needed not to do anything
because of his pure faith, he had to build an ark. Likewise, Joseph, being
warned in his dreams about the 7 years of famine and the 7 years of harvest had
to prepare himself as well. If it weren’t for preparation, you see, none of
them would have been able to survive.
And this is very important. Not only would you have to be able to receive the warning, but you’d also
have to act upon it. If it weren’t for the warning of God, his family, his
church and himself would all be in crisis.
So we see that because of faith, because of the warning Noah has received, he’d
prepared an ark, allowing his family to be saved in the crisis. On the other hand, Joseph
was able to save himself and his family because of his faith.
Now after all this, if all you
knew how to say was, “Oh God will be preparing everything, God will lay out the
way for me, all we need to do is to believe”, then I tell you, that is very ignorant. Indeed, I don’t mean to say that believing
and praying are not important, they are! But even more so, action is more
important! We are right now at a very important turning point, unlike 20
years ago where we had the luxury of these 20 years elapsing, but what now?
I saw in my dream where I was
taken high above the skies. That night in my vision, I saw the current status
of churches these days. In a church the size of 200 to 300 people, only 10
people were chosen to rise with the Lord. And the others will continue on with
their lives, eating, drinking and carrying on as usual, unaware of what’s about
to come. Luke 17:28 tells us that, “It was the same in the days of Lot . People were eating and drinking, buying and selling,
planting and building.” Jesus said, “It will be just like this on the day the
Son of Man is revealed.” But yes, there is nothing wrong with eating and
drinking and enjoying ourselves. If only we had 100 years to live, 500 hundred,
or more…but unfortunately, that is not the case. And most people are unaware of
that, of the days that we live in now. Now, how many churches, we ask
ourselves, are suffering in this very circumstance?
I will tell you of another
story of a lady in Holland .
Her name was Kelly Peng. Kelly’s travelled to a couple of countries where she
witnessed Christians being prosecuted. Before the Cultural Revolution, Chinese
Christians were being told that they will rise with the Lord before the day of
the tribulation. However, not soon after, the tribulation had begun. Even till now,
there isn’t an exact calculation of when will the tribulation be. It was
estimated that millions of Christians were prosecuted during the Cultural
Revolution. However, among those people, those who were warned by God got
saved. A Chinese pastor later on told Kelly that the large number of sacrifice was due to the lack of preparation in
crisis, instead Chinese Christians were simply told to await the coming of Lord
Jesus. The pastor said to Kelly to go out there and make sure that
disciples knew how to stand in and face time of crisis. Stand firm that we may
not stumble.
As for those Christians who
were prosecuted, they blamed their
churches and held their pastors responsible for not letting them on to knowing
the truth. I think yes, as for some pastors, we are ought to be deemed
responsible for not being able to share of word of truth. Jesus might well
return while we were eating and drinking. Not everything will be fine, there
will be difficult times ahead. And you will only be prepared if you had received
warning prior to that, hence Matthews 25:6, “At midnight the cry rang out:
‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’” Here’s the question for us
today, are you the bridesmaid who is alert at night, or the one who does not
have the oil to the lamp?
At the world’s last phase, we
have come to witness the last blood moon eclipse. Have you noticed its warning
for us from the Bible? The 8 occurrences of the lunar eclipse have all taken
place throughout 2014 and 2015 in a total of 4 series, with the last one taking
place September 28, 2015. That would have been the very last one in the Jewish
calendar or the year of the Jubilee. Scientific research tells us the next one
would be 600 years later! Now, where would the reference of that be?
Revelations 6:12-13 says, “ I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There
was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair,
the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as
figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.”
Now, taking a step back, a lot
of church leaders are opposed to teachings such as observing the stars and the
constellations. They want people to focus on the teachings of God’s words, don’t be distracted by the stars and
formation of the moon eclipse. Well let me share with you this scripture in
Psalm 19:1-4, The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they
reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is
heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to
the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.” If you still think now we should just focus
on the plain teaching by Words and ignore these celestial signs, then you’re
ignoring God’s words, then you can carry on with your own eating and drinking.
Not sure if you all know, not
too long ago (this was in the news), when Jesus Christ was born, there was a
great astronomical phenomenon, the appearing of the star of Bethlehem in August 2016. On August 27, 2016,
a great phenomenon appeared in the skies, the Biblical star of Bethlehem . It was also the celestial
phenomenon of the overlapping of two major stars, Venice and Jupiter, each travelling in their
own trajectories and missing each other by an acute angle of 0.07 degrees. The
overlapping of the two stars in the sky almost appeared to be what can be
mistaken by the naked eye, a perfect unison. And not too far from these two,
there as the King star. Did you know that this occurrence could be so rare that
the next one is predicted to be in 2065! This ‘perfect overlap’ of Venice and Jupiter is a
phenomenon later explained by astronomers ‘the Star of Bethlehem’. This is also
what according to the Bible, described as ‘the Star of Bethlehem’. Now the
progression of the two stars travelling in its trajectory to create this effect
dated back to June 30, 2015, and finally was able to meet each other on August
27, 2016.
The most recent occurrence
prior to this was in year BC2 to BC3. Two thousand years ago, Magi from the
east went to Jerusalem
to see the Star of Bethlehem, hence Jesus. By scientific definition, the
forming of the Star of Bethlehem was the first appearance of Venice and Jupiter. Shining brightly in the
skies, people did not even need a telescope to be able to see it. Not only that, as the Gregorian year 2016
is also known as the Year of Julibee in the Jewish calendar, 5775, it marks the
return of the Star of Bethlehem to be even more significant! Yet, we are
anticipating that the return of Jesus Christ would be just as glorious as his
birth was!
Luke 21:25-28, There will be
signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and
perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint
from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly
bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming
in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take
place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing
near.
All the stars in heaven are proclaiming his glory. The
book of Revelation is filled with such scripture, describing the majesty of
heaven and the constellations in them. Chapter 12:1 in Revelation tells us
that, “Now a great sign appeared in heaven”. Now this other thing I want to
share with you is the observations from the skies by some astronomy fanatics.
Let us watch this video, about the King star. As we all know, Jupiter is the
largest star in the whole galaxy, it is also the sign representing Jesus
Christ. As you see in the video, the progression of the star is slowly moving
towards a group of stars called the Virgo’s womb, exactly like its name, which
looks like a woman’s womb at birth a child. On December 23, 2016, Jupiter
travelled in its counter trajectory direction towards the group of Virgin stars
and remained in its ‘Womb’ for 42 weeks, appearing as if the group of Virgo
stars was ‘pregnant’ with ‘Jupiter’. At its full ‘pregnancy’, the ‘Womb’ will
deliver its ‘baby’, then beginning Jupiter’s continued trajectory passing the
Sun, and positioning itself right above the Moon, accompanied by the 12 stars
(composed of the 9 stars forming Leo, along with Venus, Mars, and Mercury)
dazzling right above as a Crown on top. This is projected to take place all on
September 23, 2017.
This kind of astronomical
phenomenon had only occurred once 5932 years ago, which was B.C. 3915, August
5. It was around the time of Adam and Eve’s days. And this astronomical
phenomenon perfectly coincided with the Biblical description of the vision in
Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation. The exact scripture tells of how the King
Star will enter the Virgin’s womb, remaining for 42 weeks during its
‘pregnancy’ and prepares itself for ‘delivery’. Not anywhere else does the King
Star remain this long in one place during it trajectory in the skies, and not
anytime else does it also remain in one place for this long (for a period of
more than 10 months).
Keep in mind also that this
year is the year of the Jubilee, the year marking 50th anniversary
of Israel successfully
seizing Jerusalem
in 1967. I need to mention the significant timing of Jupiter’s trajectory
progression now, as soon after this year, 2017 will be the 5777th
year of Jewish calendar, and following that, 2018 will be the 70th
anniversary of Israel ’s
Constitution. This is quite remarkable, isn’t it, this phenomenon of Jupiter?
Revelation 12:1-6, “A
great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon
under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant
and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign
appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and
seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of
the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who
was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was
born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the
nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his
throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her
by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.”
This is describing the
movement of the Virgo stars (apart from this, it of course has its spiritual
significance). This group of stars will undergo another series of movement,
which will attribute to greater celestial events.
Now let me tell you, there’s
one thing that can be done to change this. Any ideas? Well, that’d be through
praying. To pray to prevent this, as how it was to Nineveh . If this is not sufficient proof to
serve as explanation that we’re in the last phase of our era, shall we wait
another 6000 years then? By then, we’d be convinced? After seeing the unnatural
phenomenon described in Chapter 12 of Revelation. The series of events in Syria
is the living proof also of demise of Damascus
in Isaiah 17. Likewise, the Arab war is a confirmation of events in Psalm 83,
and so on will the northern wars serve as confirmation for Ezekiel 38.
These are current events happening right now, while we’re waiting for the
return of Lord Jesus. They are drawing us closer and closer to the coming of
Lord Jesus Christ, He is near!
Revelation 12:4, “Its tail
swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The
dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth,…” Truth is,
without knowing the spiritual connotation of this scripture, we can verify its
validity by simply looking up into the sky and find these signs ourselves. So
what is this mysterious sign in the scripture? In the study of astronomy, it
has come to known in recent years the existence of Planet X – a ninth planet.
Though mysterious, it has been suggested that the Planet X is powerful enough
to travel towards earth’s orbit, with a tail of trailing comets. It was said
that its mass could be powerful enough to strike earth and cause mass
extinctions. Its tail is what resembles a dragon’s tail in this case.
Researchers have found that the Planet X was also the cause of the flood during
Noah’s time, for 150 days, as well as the 10 plagues during Moses’ time. This
will also bring forth the two witnesses dressed in sackcloth (Rev 11:3-4), with
of course the precise calculation of the occurrences of each natural disaster.
In any case, let us leave that in the hands of God. But what I want to point
out here is that these scientific evidences are the confirmations of the Lord’s
doing.
The NASA has discovered the Planet X since 1982. It is
known to be 5 times as massive as earth, which makes its magnetic force just as
far greater than it is that of earth.
Planet X is also known as
Nibiru, the extinction planet, the red dragon, the destroyer, etc. It travels
in the outer orbit of the Sun, posing a massive threat to earth’s extinction.
Its large mass coupled by its powerful magnetic force, it has caused the earth
to tilt slightly outwards from its original orbital trajectory. It is not
until3600 years later since the plagues of Moses’ time that Nibiru makes its
appearance again. The Planet X (also known as the destroyer) is a Dark Star
containing huge quantities of iron. Due to its advancing approach to earth, its
iron particles and molecular ions inevitably make contact with the earth’s
surface, infiltrating into our water sources, diluting them into a red colour.
It also causes several other effects:
1.
Changing
the earth’s rotational axis
2.
The
acceleration of two magnetic fields, causing disruptions in seasons. We may see
a week of summer, the next week being winter. Volcanic eruptions, droughts,
heat, forest fire, earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions, sea eruptions,
displacements of continents (subsidence…), etc.
3.
New ice
ages, large floods
4.
Natural
extinction
5.
Human
extinction, wiping out two thirds of world’s population
No one knows exactly what’s
gone on during Noah’s time, when the great flood happened. (Video) The Soviet
Union has recorded that the Noah’s flood was due to the collision of the solar
system with another unknown planet, Nibiru (which is what we know now Planet
X), causing the natural disasters that followed.
In the solar system, the Earth
orbits around the Sun, while the Earth has its own rotational axis itself. In
the same fashion, in the X solar system, Planet X orbits around what’s named a
“Dark Sun” called “Nemesis”, which is also known as a orbital system on its
own, the X system. The Dark Sun or
Nemesis comes across earth once every 2600 years, and Planet X every 3657 years.
Planet X is a very massive and powerful planet found in the universe. It has
its own oval-shaped orbital trajectory
to travel on between the solar system and the two Suns.
The occurrence of the flood
that lasted for 150 days during Noah’s era is directly related to the orbital
activities of Planet X. Scientific studies tell us that because Planet X
travels on its oval-shaped orbit adjacent to the solar system, it can cross the
earth’s orbit at certain points, and this trajectory course takes exactly 150
days. This is confirmed by the flood in the Bible which lasted for 150 days. It
provides also evidence for the existence of the four seasons. Since Planet X travels with its trailing
comet stars causing meteor showers on earth, it explains why the earth is
tilted. Because of the impact of its
magnetic force due to its mass, it causes the earth’s tilt of 23.5 degrees. It
is also due to this tilt that we have the four seasons, and yet before Noah’s
days, the earth did not see seasons (left alone rain).
Chapter 12 of Revelation shows
us that we’d yet be able to witness another occurrence of these celestial
events in September 2017. What then follows? Indeed, the confirmation of
Chapter 13 that follows in Revelation – the beasts. We see by now the
decentralization of the European countries, what then, well I tell you,
everything has already been prepared for us in heaven.
In one of David Pawson’s
sermons, he said I’d rather tell people to prepare themselves for the great
tribulation than easing them that there will be none, then in the end, they’d
be unprepared for it when it comes. When tribulation comes, God’s judgment
follows, including onto the ones he’s already chosen, Canada , US, Australia ,
Great Britain …Why
you ask? Because they are the countries that have forsaken the Lord, they have
forsaken the commandments God’s has given them to keep. Who, then, is
responsible for their fall?
It is the churches! The churches are responsible for this. What you say!
The churches? Yes, the churches, it is not the fault of disciples, not their
government, it is the churches. We are the light of the world, says the Bible, John 8:12 says, “When Jesus spoke again to
the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” Again in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the
world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” If a light does not shine, “It
is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot
(Matthew 5:13). This is exactly what’s happening in North
America .
The time is running out,
judgment will begin from the house of the Lord. Yet many churches are
unprepared for what’s about the come. Since 2009, the Holy Spirit has been
working to separate out Lord’s “goats” from His “lambs”. We have been led to
start ministries in the forms of family fellowships, naming ourselves as
churches in the last era of the day. We’ve started to congregate in this way
thinking it will help us to avoid the last hour of tribulation, at the same
time that we’re been growing in numbers, we’re also experiencing some
difficulties in implementing changes.
According to Chapter 7 of
Revelation, the crisis will take place in Israel , followed by the revival of
the Jewish. In Revelation 14, this wide spread revival has extended to many
other nations, we can see this today in the news about the middle eastern.
Slowly but surely, all nations, all cultures and all people will start to enter
into God’s kingdom, their numbers far greater than what we can predict. It is
only the beginning. Our priority is to prepare ourselves for what’s to come and
how to prepare for it. Our job is to teach the churches how to survive these
crises, and how to stay equipped. Now you all, get up, and lay down your
burdens and your fear, because it is the time for preparation. God’s spirit is
doing great work!
There is one thing we need
clear understanding on, that is God is love, and He does all out of His love.
Even including in what He is about to bring to this world at the end of the
days. And when the judgment day comes, it is for us to turn to Him. We have to
know that. Yes, God has everlasting grace, just as how He was to people of
Noah’s time. His work was delayed and pushed back time after time. Genesis 5:27 says that, “Altogether,
Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.”Enoch knows that
the flood was to come after the death of his son, Methuselah. He could not and
did not let this poor person die, not before the flood comes. Methuselah,
hence, became the longest lived person on earth. This was all because of the
grace of God, because shortly after he died, only then had come the flood. God has timing for everything.
It is about to come, the
judgment day. We are in the tranquil before the storm. Revelation 8:1 tells us
of the “silence in heaven for about half an hour”, that the sinners will
indulge in, what seems to be a surreal moment of appeasement and tranquility.
No one on earth will know what would about to come, they will even mock upon
Christians who held strong to their faith. The people will carry on their
disbelief in God, ignorant of the great tribulation. But it will be at that
moment, it will come. It will come
without warning, without signs or precautions from the heaven…
So let us not test God, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom. Don’t underestimate either his patience, He is waiting for until
the end of the days when the world cannot contain all the sins. He will then
give no more warnings, as Revelation 12
is the last sign that we can receive through celestial warnings. It has far
greater significance than the Star of Bethlehem .
We are witnessing this year for the last time the return of the Star of
Bethlehem, regardless of if you belonged to Christianity, Catholic, Orthodox,
Protestant, or new Christians. This is
for everyone to see.
Two thousand years ago, only
Magi of the east knew of the birth of Jesus Christ, by their observation of the
Star of Bethlehem. Although it might have appeared to them all, some might have
missed it, you might have missed it, others might not even have known about it
until they died. What a tragedy then would that be. Though it has been all
recorded in the Bible, the people have missed it, in fact most have. The
history is about to be repeated.
It is clear that the celestial warnings are about to come
next year as well according to Revelation 12. It is of such great importance, do not, I ask of you,
miss it! It is our responsible to carry on the knowledge and pay forward the
truth. Then, it will be up to them to decide whether to believe, but they
cannot say by then that they’ve never heard of such things, because we are the
watchmen of God.
Revelation 2:7, “Whoever has
ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Ezekiel 33:5-6, “Since they
heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will
be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved
themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow
the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life,
that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the
watchman accountable for their blood.’”
Revelation 17:14, “They will
wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is
Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and
faithful followers.” The scripture describes the few requirements of a faithful
follower: 1) to be called upon 2) to be chosen 3) be faithful 4) to triumph –
only those who have these properties will be given to wear the fine linen,
bright and clean. (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy
people.) – Revelation 19:8. It is the time to look within us and reflect whether
we meet all of these qualifications?
There will be internal debates
within us. Doubts will fill our hearts and continue to spread throughout
churches. Words will confuse God’s people, breaking the promises that God has already given to its people. Remember the 12
spies who’ve went into the land
of Canaan (Numbers 13),
10 of them returned saying we are like grasshoppers
when we compare ourselves to them, we cannot do it. God then said, I will bring
you to it, they replied that they didn’t
believe in Him, they decided to go back, they wandered in the wilderness
for 40 years, until they died there. The people did in the end go to heaven,
but they were never been able to fulfill
the purpose God had for them. Let the history not repeat, not on you and
me. We have to be strong in belief and walk with God. We need to have faith
that He will guide us, only if we submit to Him. We must learn to clearly hear the voice of God, and ask for His
spiritual intellect, so that He may lead us through the flow of the Holy Spirit,
into an era of new Promised Land.
