When does the END come
Created | Updated Aug 2, 2006
We are told many in that day will say were is this promised presence of his why from the time our forefathers have fallen asleep in death all things continue the same. (2Peter).
So being anxious to see the end of this system of things has for many been a long wait, which at times appears futile in the extreme. Then we could ask if wickedness were ended tomorrow, would we be counted in among the survivors? If we read on, Peters statement says as much when he tells us that we should be grateful for the patience God has shown us, so that we have the opportunity to turn around and join those that will be left over into a cleansed earth.
(2 Peter 3:8-10) However, let this one fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered. NWT
The early disciples had many strange expectations of how God or Jesus would set up the Kingdom that had been promised in Daniel 2: 44. So while on the Mount of Olives he tried to put them in the picture, so that they could comprehend God purpose in this regard. Most of them were expecting to see Jesus rise up one day as a new Joshua or David, and through off the Roman yoke, but Jesus new that was not to happen.
(Matthew 24:3) ..While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
(Matthew 24:4-14). And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. Then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.
[[But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. ]]]
And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
Nothing was further from the truth but if they were patient and followed the new teachings, then one day in Gods due time they would see the most spectacular events take place. The Messiah would move under the direction of his Father to rid the Heavens and the earth of the cancerous growth, caused by one of the most prominent angels, who’s egocentric ideas had lead him into the most foolish of actions against the ruler of the universe.
(Ezekiel 28:13-15) In Eden, the garden of God, you proved to be.
Every precious stone was your covering, ruby, topaz and jasper; chrysolite, onyx and jade; sapphire, turquoise and emerald; and of gold was the workmanship of your settings and your sockets in you. In the day of your being created they were made ready.
You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you. On the holy mountain of God you proved to be.
In the midst of fiery stones you walked about. You were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created until unrighteousness was found in you. NWT
The beginning of the end times the first thing that we would see this one cast from the heavens
(Revelation 12:7-10) And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan,
Who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God
And the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! NWT
Christ had to sit at the right hand of God till his time for these events were to take place.
(Hebrews 10:12-13) But this [man] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God,
From then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet. NWT
For many years now there have been those that have been made aware of the outworking of these final prophecies and in line with Gods will they have been warning those that would listen. But just as it was in Noah’s day Jesus told his disciples that it would be the same in this day also, ridicule’s coming with their ridicule. Regardless of these ones the day has arrived and the events of this day have been carefully documented. There is no mistaking the arrival of the King of Gods Kingdom, and the rulership that Jesus is about to set up even though there will be many opposing that will
(Psalm 110:1-3) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, [saying:]
Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.
Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force. In the splendours of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have your company of young men just like dewdrops. NWT
So what is to happen now? The Revelation tells us.
(Revelation 18:21) And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again. NWT
(Revelation 11:16-18) And the twenty-four elders who were seated before God upon their thrones fell upon their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king.
But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great,
AND TO BRING TO RUIN THOSE RUINING THE EARTH [[NWT]]
One of the prophets that gives insight to the last days of this system of things.
(Jeremiah 23:19-20) Look! The windstorm of Jehovah, rage itself, will certainly go forth, even a whirling tempest.
Upon the head of the wicked ones it will whirl itself. The anger of Jehovah will not turn back until he will have carried out and until he will have made the ideas of his heart come true.
In the final part of the days you people will give your consideration to it with understanding.
