This
will be my attempt, to bring realization to the fact that the Revelation of the
Bible tells us about the actual End Times.
There will be wars and
rumors of wars. “For nation shall rise against nation, ethnos against ethnos and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in diverse places.”[1]

Earthquakes
in diverse places
“151 Significant Earthquakes - 2019
2019-04-06 21:55:01 UTC539.0 km 6.494km NNW of
Visokoi Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
What makes an earthquake ‘significant’
Here is the
equation:
mag_significance = magnitude * 100 * (magnitude /
6.5);
pager_significance = red is 2000 : orange is 1000 : yellow is 500 : green is 0;
dyfi_significance = min(num_responses, 1000) * max_cdi / 10;
pager_significance = red is 2000 : orange is 1000 : yellow is 500 : green is 0;
dyfi_significance = min(num_responses, 1000) * max_cdi / 10;
significance = max(mag_significance,
pager_significance) + dyfi_significance;

The falling away of the church and the great deception
”The following are the biblical basics of the true Christian
Church:
1. There is one true and living God. He has three parts – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. There is no other God.
2. God is all knowing, all seeing, all powerful and always present.
3. Jesus was born of a virgin.
4. Jesus was all man and all God.
5. Jesus taught what He wanted us to know, and saw to it that these things were recorded in the New Testament (new testimony of witnesses to what was taught and what took place).
6. Jesus is the Messiah, sent from the Father to be tortured, and die on the cross, so that our sins could be forgiven and we could have an undeserved personal relationship with Him.
7. The Holy Spirit is the personage of God that is in the world to inspire belief in the salvation available through Jesus. He dwells within us and is our comforter, if we are Christians.
8. The devil is real. By keeping you from accepting the free gift of salvation through Jesus, he seeks to destroy you.
9. Eternal salvation is available to anyone who repents of their sin and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This is the only path to Heaven.
10. In order to enter thekingdom of God
11. The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
12. Jesus rose again, after dying on the cross and being dead for three days.
13. Jesus is going to return in Glory.
14. The Lord is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
15. The heavens, the earth and everything else that exists were created by God.
If your church deviates from the above, it is in grave danger. The following are some of the things to look out for:
1. The sign of the cross being removed from the interior and exterior of the church building.
2. Music so loud that it can be ‘felt’. Its purpose becomes more centered on promoting a ‘feeling’ rather than worship.
3. “New” translations of the Bible are in use, which vary greatly from the accepted translations. “The Message” was written by Eugene Paterson who himself says, it should not be considered the word of God, and urges that it not be used in formal worship services.
4. There are many paths to Heaven. This is known as Universalism, Syncretism, or Interfaithism.
5. Social justice, the new code word for income redistribution. Much to the chagrin of some, Jesus was not a communist.
6. Making the church look like a night club.
7. Using the phrases churched and unchurched instead of saved and unsaved. A watering down of the Gospel, such as not talking about sin.
8. Basing your faith on experience, and or spirit guides, rather than doctrine.
9. Replacement theology, which is the belief that the Christians have replaced the Jews, in the covenants.
10. Adding to, or detracting from, The Word of God. Books like’ The Book of Mormon’. If someone tells you to read the Bible less and their book more, be very skeptical.
11. Denying the virgin birth.
12. Denying the bodily resurrection of Jesus
13. Denying the inerrancy of the Bible.
14. Denying the Lordship of Jesus.
15. Denying that the Trinity is the one true and living God.
16. Using wrong names for God. Example: Allah is not the name of the God of the Bible. Jehovah is not the same thing as Allah. God’s name is the name above all names, not Allah, Buddha, Mohamed, mother nature, mother earth or any other name concocted by man.
17. Attempts to combine religions. Example: Chrislam, which attempts to say that ‘Allah’ and ‘God the Father’ are the same personage. It denies the trinity of God, and the lordship of Jesus.
18. The teaching of evolution. The New Age manuscripts worship the creation rather than the creator. ‘Pantheism’ is the assertion that God is ‘in’ all things; again, the worship of the creation.
19. A serious red flag is known as “Conplemplative Prayer” which is nothing more or less than “Eastern Meditation” [1]
20. The assertion that there is no Hell and that everyone is going to Heaven.
21. The denial that Jesus is going to return in glory and bring God’s justice to the world.
There are even those who say that “fundamentalism is dead, and the number of remaining fundamentalists could be counted on your hands”[6] . One such person stated: “The word fundamentalist comes from a document in the 1920’s called the ‘Five Fundamentals of the Faith’. And it is a very legalistic, narrow view of Christianity.”[7] These five fundamentals are:
1. The inerrancy and full authority of the Bible
2. The literal second coming of Jesus Christ
3. The Virgin Birth and full deity of Christ
4. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
5. The substitutionary atonement of Christ on the cross for the sins of the world
“Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”[8] “[9]

Floods and Storms

“The Great Flood of 2019: A
Complete
Picture of a Slow-Motion Disaster
A Mississippi River mayor’s council estimated that the cost of
infrastructure damage and emergency response was at least $2 billion. That
number is likely to rise as the water recedes and officials can check the
extent of the damage. The full cost to repair homes and businesses has yet to
be calculated.
David Alexander, a professor of risk and
disaster reduction at University College London, said that typical recovery
times from major disasters are “in the range of 10 to 25 years.”
By the end of June, the flooding was so
intense and widespread that at least 11 states had sought federal disaster
funds for more than 400 counties. Forty-nine United States Geological Survey
gauges measured more water this year than at any time in at least 20 years.
Bryan Tuma, assistant director of Nebraska
Ultimately, the volume of water is only
one source of damage: What’s in that water also plays a role.
The waters of the Mississippi Gulf of Mexico , an area with too little oxygen to
support fish and other marine life.
NOAA predicts that this year's dead zone
will be 8,717 square miles — about the size of New Hampshire
The damaging slow-moving storms of 2019 were Hurricane Barry
(Louisiana, $600 million in damage), Hurricane Dorian (The Bahamas, Southeast
U.S. and Canada, at least $4.6 billion in damage), Tropical Storm Imelda (Texas and
Louisiana, $2 billion in damage), and Tropical Storm Fernand (northeast
