GOD'S FINAL WARNINGS BEFORE JESUS' RETURN (2)
(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. What is the SEAL witness?
a) In Revelation 6 we read of the sixth seal.
i) There was a violent earthquake, and the sun became black like coarse black cloth, and the moon turned completely red like blood. 13 The stars fell down to the earth . . . 14 The sky disappeared like a scroll being rolled up, (Revelation 6:12-14)
b) When the moon turns like blood, the sun grows dim, the heavens roll back, and a giant earthquake takes place - that's a pretty big witness, wouldn't you say?
The End ...
