Introduction (UE00)

'Understanding Endtime'

As Christians, we must ensure that we are caught up at Rapture (1st resurrection). To be able to be part of Rapture, we must keep His words, believe and obey His warnings concerning the last days, and also understand the Endtime Signs of Jesus, so that we can overcome the final persecutions, temptations and deceptions of Satan.
    Without the understanding of Endtime truth, we will likely be deceived and loose our salvation for :-
1. bowing down and worship the Antichrist as god, when he is seated in the new temple of God build by the blind and misled Jewish Priesthood,
2. the desire to be implanted with the Micro Biochip (mark of the beast '666'), which can monitor our blood system and detect and destroy harmful viruses and cancer cell, thereby giving very long lifespan with healthy bodies.

Rev 14:9-11 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."

Beware Brethren - All those who have worshipped the Antichrist as God and have been implanted with the biochip (666) will be left behind and then condemn to the Lake of fire.

To us, anything after Rapture is for educational purpose and also for the complete understanding of endtime signs and prophecies.

Endtime Chronology (UE01)

  'Understanding Endtime'

In order to be able to interpret or understand Endtime Signs and Prophecies, it is utmost that we identify the chronological order of Endtime Signs from our Lord's Endtime teachings.
    We pray that this U-series will guide you from Scriptures how you will be able to understand and teach Endtime signs and prophecies by your submission to the Holy Spirit and your zealous dedication, research and meditation of His words.

Mat 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
    When the disciples requested the Lord to teach them the signs of His coming, I believe that He taught the signs in chronological order. Below are some of the signs as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ for our knowledge and salvation.

1. False Christs - without God's anointing.
Mat 24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
     These are deceivers - man appointed or self proclaimed apostles, prophets and teachers. They teach distorted truth and heresies and prophesy lies for material gains (rich televangelists, pastors and leaders).

2. World War 3
Mat 24:6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."
    Christians must not be troubled though the wars will be so intensive, destructive and deadly as though it is the end of the world (World War 3).

3. Persecution of Christians
Mat 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake."

4. Gospel reaches all Mankind
Mat 24:14 "And *this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world* as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

5. Antichrist in Temple of God
Mat 24:15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),
    The 'abomination of desolation' is the Antichrist in the book of Daniel and the holy place is the coming temple of God.

6. The Great Tribulation
Mat 24:22 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be."

7. Great Heavenly Blackout
Mat 24:29-30 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
    After the great tribulation will be the great heavenly blackout followed by the coming of our Lord for His saints at Rapture.

The signs of Jesus coming in Mat 24:4-30 is similar to that of Mark 13:5-27 and chronologically identical. This is our Lord's confirmation that the Endtime signs in Mat 24:4-31 is in chronological order.

Brethren, please memorize the above signs in the proper order for they will help you to recognize and expose false prophecies, wrong interpretations, lies and deceptions.

Rightly Divide Truth (UE02)

         'Understanding Endtime'

Our Lord Jesus Himself personally taught His disciples the complete Endtime Signs of His coming in 3 only places - Mat 24, Mark 13 and also in Luke 21.
From these we have identified only Mat 24:4-31 and Mark 13:4-27 as His Endtime Signs in Chronological order. However, in Luke 21:7-28 the Endtime Signs are different and confusing for they are not in Chronological Order.

Why is Luke21 not in Chronological Order

Luke 21:11 "And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven."
Luke 21:12 "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake."
   Luke 21:12 starts with this phrase But before all these things, which indicates that the signs of the following verses must precede signs of Luke 21:11. This immediately reduces Luke 21 to be non-chronological.
    Our Lord Jesus purposely taught us His Endtime Signs in Luke 21 in non Chronological Order as a warning, so that we must be careful with what and how we read His words and understand His truth.
2 Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
    But when we use these signs in Luke 21 to synchronise back to Mat 24 or Mark 13, we find that the word of God is perfect, with these signs complimenting one another by revealing further truth. Similarly, we can get further understandings, revelations and knowledge of similar events from other scriptures by synchronizing them to Mat 24 or Mark 13.

Revelation is not Chronological
The book of Revelation and many prophetic writings in both OT and NT as a whole, are not in Chronological Order, but within these writings, many topics (seals, trumpets, etc.) are in Chronological Order by themselves.
    If these topics are rightly synchronized with Mat 24, they will indeed compliment our understanding.

Act 17:11 These (Bereans) were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
    Brethren, just like the Bereans, we need to spend much time with the Lord and His words for enlightenments and revelations in order to understand His Endtime Signs and Prophecies. There is no shortcut getting His truth and revelations through the Holy Spirit, unless you are prepared to risk your salvation believing the teachings of men. Unfortunately, majority of these so-called Endtime teachers and prophets are unlearned, covetous and wicked opportunists, who display their ignorance of Endtime knowledge.

Who are these Opportunists?
Most recent opportunists, false teachers and false prophets are those involved in prophesying the end of age by teaching the 4 blood moons, Jewish Feasts of 2015/17, unusual happenings and disasters, etc.
   These are completely ignorant of the chronological order in the Endtime teachings of our Lord Jesus, but unfortunately many Christians are deceived by their lies and false prophecies.
Mat 24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many."
  
Brethren, (from U01) remember that the prophecies and teachings which contradict the Chronological order of Endtime Signs taught by our Lord Jesus Christ in Mat 24 or Mark 13 are false, lies and possibly heretic.

Synchronizing Rapture (UE03)

        'Understanding Endtime'

When we start to synchronise the various signs and prophecies, which compliment one another, we should be able to understand that event better. The most important event for Christians is the Blessed Hope or Rapture which, surprisingly is the easiest to synchronize.

What do we learn by synchronizing the signs of Rapture?

1. Great heavenly blackout herald in the Lord coming as stars falling from heaven with the powers of heaven shaken
Mat 24:29-30 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
    The great heavenly blackout will herald the coming of the Lord. As the stars start to fall from heaven, the power of heaven will be shaken. As the stars get bigger and bigger, all mankind will see our Lord Jesus and His angelic hosts coming in power and glory to gather His elect.
Mark 13:27 "And *then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds*, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven."

2. Trumpets herald His coming
1Thess 4.16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
    At the sound of the last trumpet, the dead will rise first followed by those still alive to meet the Lord in the air in their newly transformed glorious bodies.
1Cor 15:51-53 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be c hanged. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

3. Great Earthquake
Rev 6:12-14 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place."
    There will be great earthquakes throughout the whole world and man will feel that the ground has given way. Even mountains and islands will move out of their places. Everyone will run to open ground where they will witness the great heavenly blackout and the coming of our Lord. The saints will be raptured and then possibly half if those left will be killed by these great earthquakes and huge tsunamis.

Events of Rapture
Immediately after the great earthquakes worldwide, all mankind will run to the open  areas. They will see the great heavenly blackout. Without the sunlight, the moon will turn blood red and then to black. Trumpets will sound to herald our Lord Jesus and His angelic hosts coming down to earth as stars falling from heaven. As the stars draw nearer, all mankind will see our Lord Jesus. All the dead in Christ and the elect (still alive) will meet the Lord in the air in their new glorious bodies.

Confusing Eschatology (UE04)

        'Understanding Endtime'

Why are there so many different types of contradictory Endtime teachings (eschatology) in churches today?

Acts 1:7-8 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
    Since the NT church, Christians were fervently preaching the word of God for they believed that our Lord Jesus cannot come back at Rapture until His everlasting gospel has reached all mankind. Though there were some deviations but in general they still followed the Chronological order of His Endtime teachings in Mat 23 and Mark 13.
    The revival in the last century brought many Christians to read, study and search the bible instead of just accepting the messages from the pulpits. Since many believed that the end was near, eschatology was a favourite topic since the 1960s.
    In 1970 Hal Lindsay produced the best selling book entitled 'The Late, Great Planet Earth' with false prophecies of the Antichrist coming in the 70s and pre-trib Rapture in the 80s. This book completely ignored the chronological order of Endtime signs in both Mat 24 and Mark 13 as taught by our Lord, thus setting the trend for pastors and church leaders to teach and write all types of false teachings and heresies in eschatology.
    This book was made into a popular movie in 1976 and together with another movie 'A thief in the Night produced in 1972 were so destructive that many Christians still hold the view of the 'Secret Rapture', i.e the coming of our Lord Jesus is imminent or He is soverign and can come back (making our Lord Jesus Endtime teachings as lies)
      Our Lord Jesus and His disciples spent so much time teaching in great details Endtime prophecies so that Christians living in the last days will not be deceived by Satan (Antichrist) masquerading as an angel of light. But unfortunately, unlearned and worldly pastors acting as the Devil's agents teach the heretic 'Secret Rapture', which prevents Christians from His end time truth.

Why was truth not preached?
Dan 12:4, 9-10 "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."... Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?" And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
    These two thousand years, God has sealed up the Endtime mysteries which will only be revealed in the last days or last generation. There is no wonder that after our Lord Jesus' resurrection, He told His disciples not to worry about the endtime signs but to go into the whole world to continue to make disciples, for the Endtime mysteries were sealed until the last days.
    So if we are living in the last days, the end time mysteries will be revealed to all Christians, who love Him and believe and obey His words and commandments.

Are we living in the last days?
Mat 24:32-34 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near- at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
    The last days or last generation will begin when the tender fig tree puts forth leaves.

When are the Last Days? (UE05)

      'Understanding Endtime'

Brethren, if now, we are still not living in the last days, then please throw away all teachings, writings and theories of Endtime Signs and Prophecies because the understandings and knowledge of Endtime mysteries have been sealed until the last days when our Lord will reveal them to us (Dan 12:4, 9-10)

The Last Generation
Mat 24:32-34 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near- at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
    The last generation will consist of the fulfillment of Mat 24:4-5 (false christs), Mat 24:6-7 (World War 3), Mat 24:9-13 (Persecution), Mat 24:14 (Gospel preached to all), Mat 24:15 (Antichrist in temple of God), Mat 24:16-26 (Great tribulation), Mat 24:29 (Great heavenly blackout), and Mat 24:30-31 (Rapture).

The Last Days or End of Age
Mat 24.3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
    The signs of the Last Days (Mat 24:4-31) are the same as that of the Last Generation, therefore the 'Last Days' is also the Last Generation.

Fig Tree with Leaves only
Mat 21:19-21 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?" So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done."
(Read also Mark 11:12-14, 20-22 where our Lord told His disciples to have 'Faith in God')
    Our Lord Jesus cursed the fig tree for not bearing fruit though it was healthy and full of leaves.

Fruitful Branch or Tree
John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As *the branch cannot bear fruit of itself*, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me."
    In order to bear fruits, Christians must abide in Him i.e. Faith in Jesus by obeying and keeping all His words, teachings and commandments.
Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Faithlessness of Israel
John 11:47-48 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."
    The Jewish Priesthood and leaders displayed their greatest Unbelief in Yahweh by crucifying their Messiah, the Son of God for they feared the power and might of the Romans more than Yahweh. To them Yahweh was not the Almighty God but only a myth and the miracles in the OT were just fables.
     The consensus of theologians is that the fig tree represented the faithless Israel, for the Jews were cursed (no longer the people of God) for crucifying their Messiah.

Summary
1. Fig tree - Nation of Israel
2. Fruitful - Full of Faith in God
3. Leaves without Fruit - Full of Unbelief or Faithless.

Start of 'Last Generation' (UE06)

    'Understanding Endtime'

Mark 13:28-30 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near -- at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place."

Fig Tree - Nation of Israel
Put forth Leaves (no fruit) - Unbelief

So when we see Israel, while still a young nation (its branch is still tender) shows sign of Unbelief (puts forth leaves), then the time of ripening (summer) and harvesting (Rapture) is near.

In 1948, the British gave the wilderness and deserts to form the new nation of Israel. Since then the Arabs tried to drive the Israelites into the sea but God gave Israel victories after victories and against great odds. In 1967, God finally gave all the land (including West Bank and Jerusalem) to Israel in the six-day war.

Since Israel was once again a nation in 1948, when has Israel showed great Unbelief towards Yahweh, OT and His words?

PLO-Israel Peace Treaty
In 1993, Israel under the pressure of UN signed the abominable PLO-Israel Peace Treaty. This peace treaty required Israel to give away the land that God gave them again in the 1967 war. Israel must cede to the Palestinians:-

1. Jericho immediately
Heb 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
    God gave Jericho to the Israelites by causing the high walls to tumble down. Songs of the walls of Jericho tumbling down are sung while praising God. It is outright an abomination or unbelief to give Jericho away, for it reduces Joshua's conquest of Canaan Land as Myth. Jericho was the first (Alpha) place in Canaan conquered.

2. Gaza strip immediately
Jer 25:20b all the kings of the land of the Philistines (namely, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod);
   Goliath the Philistine giant from Gaza strip was killed by the lad David using a sling and a smooth pebble from the brook. Songs of David the lad killing the giant Goliath are also sung. To give away the Gaza strip is another great unbelief, making David and Goliath a myth. Gaza strip was the last piece of Canaan (Omega) to be conquered by David's men after 400 years entering Canaan.

3. West Bank by stages
The West Bank was the land conquered by Joshua during His conquest of Canaan Land. The land of Israel was given to the Israelites as their eternal inheritance and giving any part of it away is an abomination caused by unbelief.

The Greatest Unbelief
The PLO-Israel Peace Treaty in 1993 was the start of the last generation (Last Days). For Israel to give away Jericho and Gaza Strip was unimaginable for these two were the greatest miracles performed by God since the days of Moses. This abomination of giving away part of Israel was the greatest Unbelief in God and the Bible, reducing our Lord God Almighty to myth and all the miracles and events in the OT to fables.

Last Days begins in 1993 AD
Dan 12:4 "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
     Since the Endtime truth will be sealed (hidden) until the last days, so all teachings (before 1993AD) from books, writings, commentaries, etc. concerning end time signs and prophecies (without truth) might be worldly wisdom and deceptions. Brethren, throw away all those old erroneous Endtime doctrines so that the Holy Spirit can reveal to you the truth from His words.
