Final Redemption is at the Door

Can you imagine what a blessing it will be IF we are the generation that Paul spoke of in 1 Thessalonians?  Think about it, there have been some 40 generations since Jesus ascended into heaven...and what if WE are the generation that never sees death but instead get to hear the trumpet blow, see the dead in Christ rise and then in the twinkling of an eye we get new bodies and get swept up into the clouds to meet Jesus!!

Seriously....how exciting is that?!?

As my readers know, there is no shortage of people pointing to reasons they believe that we are in the last days of normal, business as usual, human history....and that something BIG is on the horizon.

Many religious Jews think something big is coming.

End of Days Expert Declares: “The Final Redemption is at the Door”

Geula (redemption) is exceedingly near and we need to make others aware of its impending arrival. These are two core messages delivered last week in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel by prolific author and End of Days expert Rabbi Pinchas Winston to an audience of English-speaking olim (immigrants to Israel).

Rabbi Winston compared the urgency with which people need to focus on the forthcoming redemption to having a plane reservation. When a person who has to board a plane at a certain time, everything that day is oriented around the awareness that the most important task of the day is being on that flight at departure time.That’s how concrete becoming focused on geula should be. That’s what it means to have geula-consciousness, he explained.

In his lecture, Rabbi Winston made a clear connection between chaotic current world events, such as extreme weather and Islamic terrorism, and the urgent necessity for redemption.

“Today, it is so much easier than, let’s say, 10 years ago, to want Moshiach (messiah) to come, because things are out of control… If you step back and look at all the events of history, everything is so ‘Armageddon-ish’. It’s actually quite bad. The world is actually tremendously unstable.”

Rabbi Winston gave credit to God for the fact that the world hasn’t already imploded on itself.

“The only reason why we are sitting here so calmly right now is not because the world has stability. It’s because HaKadosh Baruch Hu (The Holy One, Blessed Be He) has His finger in the dike.”

In addition, Rabbi Winston’s study of Judaism’s mystical tradition, known as Kabbalah, helped him recognize “how much of a role human will plays in actually creating and building the realities we want and often need.” Later, he studied Quantum Physics and was captivated by the discovery that “human observation plays a role in determining the outcome of experiments, and life in general.”

These ideas, along with his impressive command of Jewish history and Torah sources helped propel his thinking. “What I realized, and what I came to understand, compelled me to produce an entire seminar based upon these ideas.”

“I no longer had any choice,” he shared with Breaking Israel News, “at least with respect to these ideas. I had to get out there and do my part to energize our national will for redemption, while there is still time.The Final Redemption is at the door. It will be our collective national will to let it in that will let it occur peacefully.”

Now ask yourselves a question....have these Jews looking for redemption accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?

Nope.  If they had they would be watching for the RETURN of Jesus as Messiah.

But please remember that the Jews and Israel are God's timepiece.  As we watch what is happening there we can get a sense as to what time it is on God' prophetic clock.

The Jews are back in the Holy Land for the first time in 2000 years, they have an "exceedingly great" army and now a large number of those Jews want to build the 3rd Temple and many want to do it to usher in the savior.

Sadly, they will be expecting someone....but it will be a false Messiah that the New Testament calls the Antichrist.

But as Christians we can see the convergence of ALL THESE THINGS happening at once so we can reflect on Jesus and Paul's words and say, "Even so, Come Lord Jesus!"

1 Thess. 4
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
