GOD'S FINAL WARNINGS BEFORE JESUS' RETURN (1)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) What warnings will God give man before the great tribulation occurs? What warnings to repent will he offer during the heavenly signs, plagues, and other painful events that happen before the second coming of Jesus? Who will give these admonishments to the entire world? Has man ALREADY been told he needs to change his ways and begin to obey the Creator of the universe?
b) God says there have been many witnesses already extant in the world. For instance, let us look in Colossians the first chapter and read about a witness the apostle Paul discusses.
i) "if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister." (Colossians 1:23)
c) Prophets came with another type of witness. A prophet would tell Israel, "Don't do this. Don't do this." The prophets and preachers of righteousness have their place but they are NOT the ultimate witness.
i) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them . . . " (Romans 1:18-20)
1. The Two Witnesses
a) The book of Revelation states that in the end time just ahead of us there are going to be two witnesses who will warn the world of what will happen if they do not repent.
i) 3 I will send my two witnesses dressed in sackcloth, and they will proclaim God’s For three and a half years these witnesses are going to be invincible. No one can kill them and they are prophesying the whole time. They are making statements, they are talking the whole time. But at the end of this period they are going to be killed. That is the end. And then there is going to be great deception. Revelation, however, reveals still other witnesses from God. message during those 1,260 days. (Revelation 11)
The End ...
