Where is the true Church?
Work Shop 1
Where is the Church?
This is not the time and moment to sit in front of our television sets and hope that all works out well and perhaps we will become better by controversy and war in the middle East. In a time of such great crisis in the East, is not the sign of prophecy very real and taking place before our very eyes. We must recognized that a new day has dawn toward the climax of history as we have known it.
Is there a National Crisis?
We have discerned that events of men are beyond our abilities to control, manage and overcome. As a great nation our crisis are beyond what we see in the news, experience in our daily walk as humans, in other words it is more than the outer. In this convention, we will focus a great deal on the contrast or difference between the inner and the outer in our daily living.
The Message of Prophecies given by Christ.
Jesus
prognosticated an end to this world system. Christ never indulged in fantasy. He
was truth. On one occasion His disciples asked Him, “Tell
us when shall these things be” (Matt. 24:3)? Immediately, Jesus began to
give them signs to look for. However, He warned them of pinpointing dates
and times. “It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons, the Father has put in His on power” (Acts 1:7).
Although we are not to know the exact time of His return, He assured us that we
could speculate by the signs that would appear and indicate the end is near. “When
these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift your heads up; for
your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).
Christ
mentioned at least 25 events that would indicate His coming.
When these events are all happening at the same time, we can be sure the
end of the world (age) is very near. Jesus spoke certain of “The
End.” In reply to his disciples’ question, “When
shall these things be and what shall be the signs of thy coming?” Jesus
answered in part, “And ye shall hear of
wars and rumors of wars, for nations shall rise against nation.” We are in
a world sick with doubt and wicked with repeated disappointments. In every
country we have a widespread of distress and perplexity. What does all this
mean? The ruthlessness, terror, and lawlessness of our world point to nothing
but anguish and misery? It adds up to one thing… It means the end is at hand.
“When you see these things, look up… your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke
21:28).
Jesus
will return to the earth during the time of unprecedented war and trouble among
men. It is true that there have always been war and conflict among tribes,
kingdoms, and nations but never until this generation has universal destruction
been on a world scale. Jeremiah was given a preview of our awful day when he
cried, “I am pained at my heart, my
heart maketh a noise in me, and I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard,
O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of the war. Destruction upon
destruction is cried, for the whole land is spoiled. I beheld and lo, the
fruitful place was a wilderness and all the cities thereof were broken down at
the presence of the Lord, and by His fierce anger” (Jeremiah 4:19, 20,
26).
The
Bible says, “as it was in the days of
Noah, so shall it be before Christ’s coming” (Matthew 24:38,39). Before
Christ comes, there will be a repeat of days of Noah.
