End Time Living End Time Living A. The Signs of End-Time End-time refers to the last days/period of time/history on earth before the 2nd Coming of Christ Matt 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying “Tell us when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and the end of age?” End Time Living 1.Deception of Believers and Falling Away Many false teachers will arise. Many will be deceived and fall away Matt 24:4-5,24-25 False teachings and doctrines of demons will be taught to believers 1Tim 4:1-3 And Jesus ..said to them” Take heed that no one deceives you .For many will come in My name, saying, ”I am the Christ,” and will deceive many…”Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many…For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even elect . Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. E.G-Prosperity gospel End Time Living 1.Deception of Believers and Falling Away Many believers will be deceived and fall way because they did not love and hold on to the truth. 2 Thess. 2:2-3, 9-12 Let no one deceive you by any means ; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first …because they did not receive the love of the truth , that they might be saved. And for the reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness 2 Tim. 3:2-5 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! End Time Living 2. Wars and rumors of wars, disasters, diseases and fears. Mt. 24:6-8 Lk. 21:26 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled ;for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. …men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Heart problems and mental disease are two most common sicknesses today. End Time Living 3. The coming of the Anti-Christ world ruler, tribulation, persecution and betrayal 2 Thess.3:3-4 Mat.24:9,12,21 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake… And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold… For than there will be greater tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Lk. 21:16-19 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience possess your souls… End Time Living 4. The second coming Mt.24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken…and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. End Time Living B. The Mark of True Believers At His 2nd Coming, Jesus will separate to Himself those who are His true believers according to these marks: End Time Living 1. The Leaders who are Faithful and Wise (Parable of the Two Servants) Mt. 24:45-51 “Who than is a faithful and wise servant, whom his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing… the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, Leaders who faithfully and wisely lead and feed the flock under His care. End Time Living 2. The Disciples who are Spirit-filled (Parable of the Ten Virgins) Mt. 25:1-13 Spirit-filled disciples are those who can live and serve God by the Spirit acceptably. Eph. 5:18 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps… the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut… “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, Gal. 5:16-26 End Time Living 3. The disciples who are faithful in using their gift to harvest souls Parable of talents-Mt. 25:14-30 Jesus is not looking for material return of our God given gifts, but spiritual returns of souls. John15:1-2,16 4. The disciples who are faithful in doing good works Parable of sheep and goat. God is a God of the fatherless orphaned, widows, poor and disadvantaged. Though disciples were similarly share His compassion and reach out in good works. Mt. 25:31-46 We are save by faith, not works. However, saving faith is never alone- it always comes with good works Eph. 2:10, Titus 3:8, Js 2:26 End Time Living C. Exhortation for end time living. 1.Watch and pray Jesus and the apostles warned believers to always live in view of the end time and eternity. Lk. 21:34-36, 1 Pet 4:7, 5:8 Be like Job- Watching, praying and interceding regularly for his household for God’s hedge of protection Job 1:45,9-10 Pray unceasingly , put on and live according to the armor of God .Eph 6:10-20 2. Be holy-Be separated To be holy is to be set aside Wholly for God and separated from the whole world and anything unclean.. 1 Peter 2:9, 2 Cor 6:17-18; 7:1 There are very few things and activities in the world that is clean and undefiling and acceptable to God- 1 John 2:15-17 One of the main signs of unpreparedness is when we live our lives like the rest of the world : Matt 24: 36-39 Drawing near to God means an increasingly “ Narrow” walk and simple live. Matt 7:13-14 . 1Tim 6:6-10 ,Col 3:5 Beware of covetousness the OT focus on material and temporal blessing is like silver compares to the Gold of the NT promise of spiritual and eternal blessing EPH 1:3-14 End Time Living C. Exhortation for end time living. 3. Be filled with His word Col 3:16 God’s word must be engrafted into us through memorizing and Meditation of whole passages/ chapters. Before the invention of Gutenberg press in the 15 century ( 300 years after Moses received the Law of God ), the word of God was orally Transmitted and retained through memorizing and meditating Josh 1:8 Obey the word! James 1 :21-22, John 15-7, Luke 6:46 4. Surrender wholly to follow and serve God Luke 9:23-24 ,Luke 14: 25-27, 33 Do not waste anymore time! Rom 13:11, 1Cor 7:29-31 D.Promise of Preservation and eternal inheritance. God promised to preserve and reward us as faithfully and perseveringly follow and serve Him. 1 Thess 5:23-24 ,Rom 8:37-39 , Rev 21:7 120 Years Max Life span on Planet earth Infinite Years…. Eternity either in Hell or Heaven Sequence of events-(One of the school of thoughts) Now Rapture End time living Ready Christians be caught up in the Air to be with Jesus HeavenFor true believers of Christ Pure heart and obedient Christians Coming of the beast (666) and Great tribulation for those who are left behind 2nd Coming of the Christ and Final Judgment Period of End time What profit a man if he gained the whole world and looses his soul?

Choo Nam first encounter with Jesus: On 19 th January 96 She saw a figure dressed in white garments in her bed room, radiance was so brilliant that she could not see His face , but in her heart she knew that she had been blessed with a special visitation from the Lord Lord Jesus said” My daughter, Choo Nam ,I am your Lord, and I want to talk to you. You have been My special daughter for a long time.” “You are such an obedient child, and I want to give you special Gifts. These gifts are going to serve Me greatly. I want you to Be happy about these gifts Transformed body On 19 & 20 January 96 , the Lord took me walking with Him “Daughter, I must show you some things,” He stated as He extended His hand in my direction. Next, I felt the strange sensation of my body being lifted from the bed . My mind was clear and I was groaning in my spirit. Then I recognized that I was with the Lord, wearing a white robe like His. My body was new. I was like a young girl again. Even my hair was long and straight. I realized I was walking along a deserted beach with the Lord. Transported from my bed, home and body and had given a new body that enabled me to FLY and walk with Him. The lord of Heaven and Earth had suspended the law of gravity, life and space to show me some things that I will never forget Overall Graphical Presentation of Earth, Heaven & Hell Earth Heaven-Kingdom of God Hanging room, robe crown Heaven Food Fish & Fruit Pearly Gate Beach Tacoma Bed, Trees ,Flowers & fruits Animals Winding Road Orchard Mountain Golden Bridge Crystal Clear River Bible Babies Fence Marina Hell Dark Tunnel PitFumes Flame Golden Beach Beach Houses Castles for Choo special Nam Children Heaven Doves Disobedient Christians New Jerusalem-City of David Heaven Beaches Crystal Clear Sweet Water Rapture 13 May 1996 Jesus revealed a vision to Choo Nam The biggest surprise the Lord had ever shown me. It was the most awe-inspiring things I’d ever seen- human beings flying through the air like birds. They soared upward with rocket-like speed. Some seemed to be soaring like kites in the wind on a clear, beautiful day “I saw my I year old grand daughter. She was wearing a white robe, and her hair had grown to shoulder length. She looked pretty grown up. At first I saw her at her house in normal clothing, Then suddenly she was wearing a white robe and flying through the air. I was dumb-founded by the vision, Its certainly seemed to confirm that the Lord would be returning in the very near future. Then I saw my daughter’s ten month –old daughter. She does not have much hair right now, but in the vision her hair was down to her shoulders and like my other granddaughter, she was flying through the air, Rapture will be soon – 1996 – Choo Nam Grand daughter is about 10 months Grown up teenager- 13- 19 years old so the range of the period of time is from 2009 to 2015. Could be earlier or later depending on His grace as He wanted to save as many as possible . He did revealed the season but we do not know the exact date as Jesus coming will be like a thief in a night so be prepared. Its better to be save than to be sorry like the 5 virgins. Heavenly throne of God Heaven a land of eternal joy and Happiness A place that you will never grow old New Jerusalem – city of David is ready. Are you ready to be with Jesus when the last trumpet sound? Heavenly Marina a place of fun and Joy Heaven – kingdom of God ,a place many time better than planet earth a place we like to be after our lives on earth is over . A decision we need to make while on earth . Accepting Jesus as personal Saviour and Lord is the only way to Heaven Jesus said” Every believer must stand before Me at the end, and many of those who don’t live by My words will be very disappointed I want all of My children to come to My kingdom. Whoever reads this book, I want them to believe and realize how they have to live in this world in order to enter the kingdom Heavenly Orchard Fruits ,trees and flowers Persistent Prayers Jesus said” I love persistent children. People’s persistence proves their faithfulness and by this I know that they believe I hold the answers to all their prayers. I also want My children to know that even though I answer prayers, I may also remove answers if they are not faithful. Daughters, when some of My children need something, they pray night and day and spend time with Me . They strive to be obedient and to live according to My words. Then ,as soon as I bless them, they change, moving far from Me and going back to their old ways. They continue doing the things I do not like. That is why I sometimes remove My blessing” Jesus had shown to Choo Nam that He has prepared a place for His children and that His coming is very soon Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Have you shared the Goodnews to many so that they can be with us in heaven and escape Hell ?when their times on planet earth are up or the last trumpet has sound Heaven is so real.Hell is just as real- Reality of Life after death Jesus said ”I am showing you this things, so that you will let everyone know that it will happen soon. Many people do not believe My word that is why I need you Choo Nam to write My book to describe what you have seen. I want the whole world to see this book I want them to realize that I am ready for them. I love all my children but I cannot bring them to My Kingdom but in this Pit of Hell if they have not accepted Me or Not ready for me. I will never forced My children to anything if they don’t have the heart for Me. Jesus said” The reason I am showing to you My daughter , so that you will truly understand ,no matter how God’s people are, they will go to Hell if they do not accept Me Pit of Hell - Lake of Fire ,second death-horror of Hell Fire- burst with flames-Naked without protection-moving like worms .Doom to spend eternality This group of people did not know or rejected Jesus while life on earth. Nothing Jesus can do for those who do not know Him the process irreversible. Jesus said” Must include in the book, warn the people of the world of the reality of Hell. I want to see as many souls saved as possible before I returned to gather the Church unto Myself Eternal Death ,Eternal sufferings-Human torch Jesus said” Some people’s punishment will be worse than what Mary has said ,Mary’s revelation book is very important for everyone to read, because this punishment could happen to anybody, even many believers Jesus said” Heaven Is So real will be the last chance for people to realize how soon I am coming for My people . I must purify My people before I bring them to My kingdom. Unless they are pure-hearted, they cannot see My kingdom” Matt 5:8 “If the disobedient people don’t wake up, they will not hear the trumpet sound, and they will have to go through the Tribulation “ “I have given enough warning for people to know what I want them to do for so long. I cannot wait forever for those who don’t want to be ready for Me. I am coming for those who are ready for Me, and this will happen sooner than they expect. “ Jesus said” Most churches are trying to spend so much money for the church’s beauty, but not many of them are trying to please Me. I want every church to train the people for preaching the gospel and sending them out to the mission field. “Only about 20% of the churches are putting Me first ;the rest of them are worrying about what people say and how much money they will have. Many churches are not concerned about reaching out to the lost souls at all. That is the most important thing to Me I must tell you daughter, that many pastors will go into the valley I showed you, then their congregations will follow. Any pastor who mistreats My special anointed servants and My prophets will not be blessed. But someone with special blessing from Me can bring blessing to the entire church . You must put all these in your book, Choo Nam.” Jesus said” Many Christians are poor and have many problems in their lives because their hearts are not right with Me and they don’t tithe. Any Christian who doesn’t tithe will not be blessed because they love money more than My word. Those who love money more than My Word will never see My kingdom. You already know where they will be at the end. If anyone comes to Me with an open heart and tries to live with My words, they will be blessed right away, and they will have peace and joy continually. Whoever loves Me and wants Me to bless them must have their heart right toward Me and put Me first in everything in their lives and have a kind heart towards others ask Me for whatever they want I will give it to them if I know they are sincere and if they persevere. I will answer their prayers Many of My children , however, do not pray sincerely or long enough. If they do not have patience, they cannot receive a blessing. My daughter, you are so persistent. You never give up. You keep on asking Me for what you want in prayer. I hear your every prayer. Whoever wants to be changed will receive My help. Jesus said” Daughter, I know in your heart that you always want to help the needy. I will bless you abundantly so you will be able to help anyone you want to help I want my children to read this book, because so many of them have doubts about heaven and to live pure and obedient lives so that can come into My kingdom. This book is about all My words and the kingdom I have prepared for whoever wants to come. Everything is already prepared. This book must be written by spirit –filled person. My daughter, if you were not under the special power of my Holy Spirit, I could never use you for this work. As I said before, I have been preparing you for a long time for this work, because I know I am coming soon and I want My children to know that soon I will be coming for them. Anyone’s heart that is not as pure as the water and does not live by My Word will not enter My kingdom Even faithful Christians doubt that there really is a kingdom of heaven, I want all My doubting children to believe My kingdom is real. This will lead them to be more faithful, obedient and pure of heart so that they can enter My kingdom. Word: Remember the Poor- Gal 2:9-10 1. According to Peter, James & John, why was it important for Paul and Barnabas to remember the poor while they ministered to the Gentiles? Paul also seems to feel the same way. Gal. 2:9-10 Consider how the early Apostles gave importance to ministering to the poor. How about churches today? 2. In God’s sight we are all special people, but the poor, weak and the underprivileged seem to be God’s very, very special people. Jesus refers to them as “the least of the brethren.” Do you agree that they are very, very special to God and why do you think He considers them as such? 3. The Mt. 25:31-46 passage tells that those who do not minister to the poor, needy and the under-privileged will go to hell. Do you think Christ was serious about this? Do you think He meant everything he mentioned here? Do you think the Church today believes the truth about the destiny of the goat and sheep believers as taught by Jesus? 4. Can we interpret the words, “faith without deeds is dead” as anyone having faith in God and does not prove it by good works is only showing that his faith is dead and as such his faith is useless and that faith cannot save him? 5. In what ways can you, or your Cell Group do something practically for “the least of the brethren” in your community? Have you personally done anything to the least of the brethren? 6. Helping “the least of the brethren” need not have to be financially only. What other ways can we as Christians contribute to the life of the poor and needy? What Will We Be After Death? 2 Corinthians 5:8~9 Introduction: To young people, fall is the season of romance when the sky is high, the air is clear, and the mountains and fields are beautifully colored. It is a pleasant and exciting season. However, to old people, the colorful trees, the various colors of fallen leaves, and the chilly wind bring emptiness and sadness. With the natural changes inside, they appear to be seeing the sunset of their own lives. Then they may ask themselves questions such as, "Will there be another world after death? Will there probably be nothing? What will happen after death?” Let us search for the answers to these questions. 1. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob (Mk 12:26-27) 1) Moses' experience in Horeb, the mountain of God (Ex 3:6). - "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." 2) The interpretation of Jesus - "He is not the God of the dead but of the living" (Mt 22:32). (They are all living in the presence of God) 3) What happened on a high mountain (Mt 17:1-3; Lk 9:31). (1) Moses died on Mt. Nebo about 1400 years ago (2) Elijah went up to heaven in a chariot of fire about 900 years ago They died or went up to heaven a long time ago, but they appeared before Jesus. 4) Two persons went up to heaven without dying physically - Enoch, the seventh from Adam, and Elijah (Ge 5:24; 2Ki 2:11). What Will We Be After Death? 2 Corinthians 5:8~9 2. The apostle Paul's view about life and death 1) Paul was caught up to the third heaven (2Co 12:1-4). - He didn't know whether he was in the body or out of the body. 2) Paul's conviction (1) 2Co 5:1 (2) 2Co 5:8-9 3) Paul's desire (Php 1:21-23; 1Ti 4:10). 4) Paul's expectation (2Ti 4:6-8). 3. 1) Jesus' teaching about the world after death (Lk 16:19) A rich man of influence who was a hedonist and secularist and his life after death (Lk 16:22-25). Lazarus, a beggar who had faith in God and his life after death (Lk 16:20-22). 3) The actual condition of paradise and hell (Lk 16:26-31; 1Th 4:13-14; Jude 1:14; Mk 9:48-49). 2) Conclusion: Jesus is the most trustworthy evidence for eternal life after death. He is God, and He was born of the body of Mary. As a man He lived, died on the Cross, was buried, and rose from the dead after three days. Jesus is our example (Eph 2:5-6). Share the Good-news of Salvation via Jesus as He is the only way back to Father God with great urgency . Spread the message of heaven is so real to all mankind on this planet earth.
