Men of God for centuries have prophesied or given several insights concerning the coming of
the Lord. Some of the messages are direct and some are not. Several come to individuals as
dreams and visions, pointing to some strange events that will come upon the world. Some will
occur before, and others after the translation of many people from the earth; who definitely were
expecting such to occur. The Lord will only appear to those looking for Him (Hebrews 9:28).
Daniel prophesied about the end time and the death of Christ Jesus. He talked about the ten
European nations, the little horn, the man of sin, the covenant of death with the antiChrist, the
resurrection of the dead and the judgment that would lead to the end. Daniel 12:13 reads, “But
go thy way till the end be: for thou shall rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” We are
now approaching the end of the days. Look around you and see, even the vast population of the
earth tells you that it is like the days of Noah, as Jesus prophesied in Matt. 24:37-39. Also,
Genesis 6:1-3 tells of the population increase that occurred in the days of Noah before the flood
judgment.
Apostle Paul wrote about the coming of the end in no uncertain terms. These included:
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-17 where he wrote about the end of days, which includes our gathering
together unto our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming, the falling away and the revelation of that
man of sin, the son of perdition. “And now you know what with withholdeth that he might be
revealed in his time” (v.6).
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken
out of the way and then shall that wicked be revealed; ——but we are bound to give thanks
always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God had from the beginning
chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth” (vs. 7 & 13)..
In 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 he wrote about the translation and how the Lord himself will come
and that the dead in Christ will rise from the graves and the faithful Christians who hold fast to
their belief in Christ will all be caught up together in the air to be with the Lord.
In 1st Corinthians 15:51-58, we see a similar admonition saying, “We shall not all sleep, but we
shall be changed: in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and mortals shall have put on
immortality.”
These are few of what God revealed to Paul about the last days and the translation of the true
believers. Brothers William Marion Branham, Neal Vincent Frisby and Charles Price spoke and
wrote about the people of God around the translation time and about the signs and events that
God revealed to them that would be in the world around the coming of the Lord and the
translation. Do yourself a favor; search and diligently study their messages and revelations from
the Lord.
Today, God is revealing His coming to different people. These revelations and the word of God
will judge the people who miss the translation at the end. Unfortunately, many people do not
believe the mercy of God to them, even in their personal dreams, about the warnings of God
relating to the end times. Many of us Christians cannot deny such revelations. A brother had a
dream, a couple of years ago, twelve years to be exact, this October. He was given the same
statement three consecutive days (in a row). The statement was simple, “Go and tell it is no
longer that I am coming soon, but that I have already left and on my way.” Simple, but that
changes the tempo of things if you appreciate the statement. Realize that this same dream and
statement repeated three days in a row.
After ten years, the brother was told by the Lord that every Christian should consider
himself/herself to be at an airport terminal, ready for departure and that making and missing the
flight has to do with the individual’s position about Galatians 5: 19-23. The scripture enumerates
the fruit of the Spirit and the works of the flesh.
Last year, while praying at about 3 am, a sister heard a voice that said that the train that would
carry the children of God to glory had arrived. A few weeks later a brother had a dream. A man
appeared to him and said, “The Lord sent me to ask you; do you know that the craft that will
carry the children of God to glory has arrived?” The brother responded, “Yes I know; the only
thing going on now is that those who are going are preparing themselves in holiness (separation
from the world unto God) and purity.” Where do you stand on this statement? Examine yourself.
This year was a different one because the Lord spoke to the brother in a clear language that
said, “Tell my people to wake up, stay awake, for this is no time to sleep.” Are we approaching
or in the midnight hour? The night is far spent the day is approaching. Wake up, those that are
sleeping now. If you do not wake up now, you may never wake up until after the translation has
come and gone. The sure way to keep awake is to lend your ears to receive the true and pure
Word of God. Examine yourself by the Word of God and see where you are standing. The Word
of God to the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:5 reads, “Remember therefore from whence
thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works.” Stay away from the works of the flesh; that
demonically lull you into spiritual sleep (Galatians 5:19-21); read Romans 1:28-32, Colossians
3: 5-10 and so on).
Three months later the Lord impressed on the brother to tell the people: be prepared [for the
coming of the Lord], be focused, do not be distracted, do not procrastinate, submit to the Lord
and do not play God in your life or in the lives of others. Believe every word of God and remain
positive. Study these with the stories of Daniel and the lions’ den, Ruth and her return to Judah
with Naomi, the three Hebrew children and the fiery fire furnace, David and Goliath.
Staying awake is important at this time, because time is running out. Remember, Matt. 26:45
where Jesus said unto His disciples, “Sleep on now.” Definitely this is no time to be sleeping.
Stay awake so that your light may shine, and you may be able to answer the door the first time
the Lord knocks. Stay awake by putting on the Lord Jesus Christ and making no provision for
the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof (Romans 13:14). Walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit
(Galatians 3:21-23, Colossians 3: 12-17 and so on). Be in expectancy of the soon coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. In an hour you think not the Son of man will come. Be ye ready, be sober,
watch and pray. Prepare, focus, do not be distracted, do not procrastinate and do not play God
but submit yourself to the word of God.
