The End Game

The End Game

by Ron Wilkerson

As men we tend to relate a good number of our experiences to some type of sporting event.  Typically you need a good plan to finish the game and be victorious.  However, as hard as you might try, sometimes the game goes into overtime.  When this happens the game plan is tossed out and you must make an adjustment.  

This is where you stand at this point.  We on earth are in the overtime period of Satan's reign on this Earth our Lord created.  He will not sit by idle for much longer tarrying with man; nor will He continue to allow Satan to have rule over what was once given to man to subdue and rule.  The Earth is God's and when His Son Jesus begins to open the scroll with seven seals in Heaven, then WOE to man kind and Satan because your end is drawing near.  

Here is what I know to tell you right now.  Isaiah 63:4-6 "For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come."  "I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So my own arm brought salvation to Me, and My wrath upheld Me.  I trod down the peoples in My anger And made them drunk in My wrath.  And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."

Raise your hand right now if you think God is playing games in the passage above?  That is what I thought, even if you don't believe you know its true.  You can feel it in your gut that God is about to let loose the seals on that scroll in Heaven.  This scroll is His title deed to the planet Earth which He bought back with His own blood.  Man gave it Satan because He could not obey.  Sadly, we still can't obey.  

Matthew 24:32-41 "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these ting, recognize that He is near, RIGHT AT THE DOOR.  Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.  But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.  For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.  For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came (Emphasis Added Here) and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.  There there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.  Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.

Notice here the Lord is telling His disciples/true Church what to be on the look out for just before His IMMINENT return.  What were those things He said would be happening?  For that we must back up just a bit to see...  Jesus has just been asked by the disciples in private when the end would come and what would be the signs.  Matthew 24:4-14  And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.  For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Christ, and will mislead many.  You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars.  See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.  For nation shall rise against nation (Greek word for nation is ethnos which means people) and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be FAMINES and EARTHQUAKES.  But all these things are merely the BEGINNING of BIRTH PANGS.  Then they will deliver you to tribulations, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.  At that time MANY WILL FALL AWAY and will betray one another and hate one another.  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many.  Because lawlessness is increase, most people's love will grow cold.  But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.  This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the END WILL COME.

What you see above is God's own Word.  Think of a time in your life where there was not war or famine, or pain and suffering.  Exactly, you can't think of that time because it is non existent.  So question, has it become worse in 2012 than say 1990?  Do we see more signs with greater frequency than in 1990?  Yes, we do, be it by technological advancement or the many statistics I could quote you, there has been a monumental increase in every single descriptor above.  Notice that it was all likened to BIRTH PANGS, which right at the end when DELIVERY is near become VERY FREQUENT and MUCH MORE PAINFUL.

Folks, this is your trumpet call.  God is about to intervene into the affairs of man once again, so what is your overtime plan?  Once we True Followers of Christ are gone, will you be mislead by the many false prophets?  

I say now, pray to the Lord while He is near and may be found.  Then you will know beyond doubt that you will be victorious.  

Matthew 10:27 "What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 

The passage above is why I have spoken to you.  If you read Matthew 10, you will find instructions for all God's disciples.  He told them to heal people, to greet their homes, to bless their homes if they were worthy of the blessing of peace.  Most of all, HE said FREELY YOU RECEIVED, SO FREELY GIVE.  

Don't keep sitting on the sidelines.  We need to be out shouting that the Lord is Coming Soon!!!  Praise God, Hallelujah we won't have to live in this old bag of bones any longer for our Lord cometh and brings with Him our new bodies.  Praise Jehovah!  Who is like Him?  NONE....

May God bless you all and keep you in peace!

Shalom
