Part 11. The Wilderness of the End Times.
Romans 9:28. For he will finish the work, and cut it short
in righteousness: because a short work
will the Lord make upon the earth
Luke 21:26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken
Isaiah 65:13. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed
In addition to horrific full-scale wars and nature
disasters, even greater trials await humanity in the final seven years of the
Antichrist's reign.
This article will discuss the global famine and the persecution of Christians, their nature, and their interconnectedness. There is a direct correlation between the global famine and the terrible persecution and harassment of Christians, which is why this period will be called the wilderness of the end times.
Mass famine is a social disaster caused by a prolonged
food shortage and leading to mass deaths of the population in large regions.
In addition to its physical effects, hunger has a
significant impact on the psyche and behavior. The senses become dulled, memory
declines, thought processes slow and become impaired, control over one's own
behavior is lost, willpower is suppressed, various visual and auditory
hallucinations occur, and apathy increases, alternating with short-term bursts
of increased irritability and aggression.
Will there be famine on earth in the end times?
Yes, it will. The Bible confirms that.
Luke 21:11. And
great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs
shall there be from heaven
Revelation 6:5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine
- the third horseman of the Apocalypse with a measure
in his hand, food supplies in the world are running low, prices are
skyrocketing
7. And when he
had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and
see. 8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth - The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is the beginning
of wars, famine, and disease.
Revelation 16:8. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun;
and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9. And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory
Solar activity exceeds all acceptable limits. Intense heat will irreparably impact harvesting; trees, fields, grass, and everything planted will be destroyed by the heat.
Isaiah 9:20. And
he shall snatch on the right hand, and be
hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied:
they shall eat every man the flesh of
his own arm
Isaiah 24:3. The land shall be utterly emptied, and
utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4. The earth mourneth
and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of
the earth do languish
Isaiah 42:14. I have long time holden my peace; I have been
still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will
destroy and devour at once. 15. I will make waste mountains and hills, and
dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up
the pools
Jeremiah 7:20. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine
anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon
beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it
shall burn, and shall not be quenched
Jeremiah 14:3. And
their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found
no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and
confounded, and covered their heads. 4. Because the ground is chapt, for there
was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.5.
Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 6. And the wild
asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons;
their eyes did fail, because there was
no grass
Hosea 4:3.
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall
languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the
fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Joel 1:9. The meat offering and
the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the
LORD'S ministers, mourn.10. The field is
wasted, the land mourneth; for the
corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.11. Be ye
ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the
barley; because the harvest of the field
is perished.12. The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and
the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is
withered away from the sons of men.15. Alas for the day! for the day of the
LORD is at hand, and as a destruction
from the Almighty shall it come.16. Is not the meat cut off before our
eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?17. The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate,
the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.18. How do the beasts
groan! the herds of cattle are
perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made
desolate.19. O LORD, to thee will I cry: for
the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath
burned all the trees of the field. 20. The beasts of the field cry also
unto thee: for the rivers of waters are
dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness
Ezekiel 7:14.
They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the
battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 15. The sword is without, and the pestilence
and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword;
and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.16. But they
that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of
the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity
Ezekiel 12:17. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 18. Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and
drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; 19. And say unto the
people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and
drink their water with astonishment, that
her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of
all them that dwell therein. 20. And the cities that are inhabited shall be
laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the
LORD. 28. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of
my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done,
saith the Lord GOD
Here is perhaps
the most horrific description of famine in the Bible.
Lamentations 1:8.
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured
her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and
turneth backward. 11. All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given
their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider;
for I am become vile
Lamentations 2:11.
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon
the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings
swoon in the streets of the city. 12. They say to their mothers, Where is corn
and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when
their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.19. Arise, cry out in
the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water
before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy
young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.20. Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done
this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall
the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Lamentations 4:7. Her
Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more
ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: 9. They that be slain with the sword are
better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken
through for want of the fruits of the field. 10. The hands of the pitiful women
have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the
daughter of my people
These verses are difficult to read; it's a terrible grief
to see your own children starve, then die in your arms, and you're powerless to
change anything. Panic, anger, hopelessness. Jeremiah writes that there is no
worse grief than hunger; it's better to be killed in war than to see and endure
such a thing.
Massive, horrific wars, natural disasters of
unprecedented proportions, terrible diseases - all these are the main reasons
for the onset and intensification of global famine. Countries destroyed and
plundered, cities deserted and burned, fields devastated. Naturally, in such
conditions, it's difficult to talk about any kind of agriculture, raising
livestock or crops. Even potable water will be a rarity in those days. Everyone
will save their lives as best they can to feed themselves and their families. Thus,
society will disintegrate. Murder, robbery, looting - anything to get food for
themselves and their children.
As a result -
Zephaniah 1:2. I
will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD. 3. I will consume man and beast; I will consume
the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks
with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD
Zechariah 13:8. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein
Two-thirds of the planet's population will perish from
war, famine, and disease. One-third will survive.
Zechariah 13:9. And I will bring the third part through the
fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold
is tried: they shall call on my name,
and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The
LORD is my God
These will be the people whose repentance the Lord
will hear and accept. These people will begin to live in a new era the
millennial kingdom of the saints.
Famine is one of the Antichrist's main weapons for
achieving total control.
Famine fundamentally affects a person, their behavior,
psyche, will, ideas and priorities. Famine will enable the Antichrist to
control people, suppress and subjugate them to himself, his regime, his ideas,
and force them to act (war).
Revelation
13:16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name
We've already discussed in previous sections the mark
(seal) of the Antichrist and its consequences, mass microchipping, and how this
will be the point of no return to God. After receiving a chip, barcode, or any
other image on their body during the reign of the Antichrist, such people will
forever lose the right to pardon and forgiveness. There will be no forgiveness for
such people, and their destiny is hell, and then the lake of fire, eternal
torment.
People will agree to any terms, just to be able to buy
food, avoid being fired from their jobs, and earn enough to feed their
families. They will think they will be saved this way, but at that very moment
they will lose everything they have, and even more – they will lose their souls
forever. Such people will face more intense and terrible, endless, eternal
torment in hell than the brief, earthly torment they will experience during
that time. Few will understand that it would be better to die of hunger or
illness then, but ask God for forgiveness, repent, be forgiven, and then begin
their lives anew in the new era, than to sell their souls to the devil for a
piece of bread for that short period.
Luke
12:29. And
seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your
Father knoweth that ye have need of these things
Luke 17:33.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose
his life shall preserve it
Here is a God's secret. All those who accept any of
the Antichrist's conditions just to stay alive will perish, without exception.
The Antichrist is Satan's servant; he will teach everyone a lie, speaking of
protection and confidence in the future for everyone who accepts his mark on
their bodies. This is a 100% lie, and millions of people will fall into its
net. They will never escape from this snare! A piece of bread in exchange for a
soul is too low a price, practically nothing.
The second important point as a strong trump card in
the hands of Satan is hunger as a weapon during the period of persecution of
Christians.
Will there be persecution of Christians on earth
during the reign of the Antichrist?
There will be. The Bible
confirms this:
Revelation 6:9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled
Revelation 12:17. And
the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went
to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 13:7. And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations
Revelation 20:4. And
I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I
saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years
Daniel 7:21. I
beheld, and the same horn made war with
the saints, and prevailed against them; 25. And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time
Daniel 11:32. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he
corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong,
and do exploits. 33. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil,
many days. 34. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but
many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35. And some of them of
understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white,
even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed
The book of the prophet Daniel (Chapter 7:33-34)
contains a secret, subtle and seemingly insignificant. But this secret is
profoundly weighty and significant for all believers who wish to preserve their
souls and not submit to the Antichrist and his regime - “yet they shall fall by the sword, and by
flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days” - murders, robberies,
exile, imprisonment. This is how Christians will suffer. But one important
note: the Bible doesn't mention at all that believers will suffer from...
hunger or disease! On the contrary, there are numerous biblical confirmations
that believers will not be left without food in times of famine; hunger and
disease are the fate of sinners.
Job 5:20. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from
the power of the sword. 22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither
shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth
Psalms 9:9. The LORD also will be a refuge for the
oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.10. And they that know thy name
will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek
thee
Psalms 33:18. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy; 19. To
deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine
Psalms 34:7. The
angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth
them. 10. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 15. The
eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry
Psalms 37:18. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be for ever. 19. They
shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be
satisfied
Isaiah 30:20. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and
the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine
eyes shall see thy teachers
Isaiah 33:14. The
sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who
among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with
everlasting burnings? 15. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;
he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding
of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes
from seeing evil; 16. He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the
munitions of rocks: bread shall be given
him; his waters shall be sure
Isaiah 58:11. And the LORD
shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy
bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not
Isaiah 65:13. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be
hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold,
my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed
Luke 12:29.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30. For all these
things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye
have need of these things. 31. But
rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you
The question is how will believers get food during
famine, war, and constant plunder all around? There will be no food anyway, and
people will die en masse, but what will believers eat? After all, the Bible
doesn't lie, and God's Word says that in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Jeremiah 32:27. Behold, I am the
LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Proverbs 3:5. Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all
thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths
Believers should not rely on their own minds at all
during that terrible period of time, figuring out how and where to get a piece
of bread.
Nahum 1:7. The LORD is good,
a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him
No believer who has disobeyed the Antichrist will be
left without God's protection.
Malachi 3:18. Then shall ye return, and discern between
the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth
him not
Hunger and disease are the fate of sinners, not
saints. The Bible denies that Christians will experience famine during the last
days of the Antichrist's reign. Believers will not suffer from the terrible
diseases (epidemics) that will take place soon.
Daniel 11:34. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them
with flatteries
In these difficult days, believers will receive some
help, and that help is a daily food. Even many sinners as fake believers will
join Christians for a piece of bread to satisfy their hunger. While this food
will help them to survive for a while, it will not save them from hell.
During the preaching Jesus Christ faced the same
problem: multitudes followed Him, not because they sought truth and salvation,
but because they saw Jesus and his disciples feed thousands with a few loaves
of bread and fish. Many of the them followed Him to get food. For them, it was
a good opportunity to feed themselves, but nothing more. They had no thought
whatsoever of the Kingdom of Heaven or salvation.
John 6:26. Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the
miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27. Labour
not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God
the Father sealed
How will God provide food for those who believe in Him
during a famine?
Fortunately, the Bible is replete with evidence of God
feeding His people in the most desperate and hopeless situations. Take a look
at those miracles, a real ones!
Matthew 15:32. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I
have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days,
and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint
in the way. 33. And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34. And Jesus saith
unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little
fishes. 35. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36. And
he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and
gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37. And they did all
eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven
baskets full. 38. And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women
and children
A miracle – 4000 people, not counting women and
children, were fed from seven loaves of bread and a couple of fish!
John 6:10. And
Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So
the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11. And Jesus took the loaves;
and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as
they would. 12. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13. Therefore they gathered
them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley
loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 14. Then those
men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth
that prophet that should come into the world
More than 5000 people were fed with just a few loaves
of bread! How can this happen in our modern world? Isn't it a miracle?
1 Kings 17:5. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD:
for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6. And the
ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the
evening; and he drank of the brook
Isn't it a miracle – birds brought bread and meat to
the prophet! Where and how? It boggles the mind!
1 Kings 17:13. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou
hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and
after make for thee and for thy son. 14. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until
the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. 15. And she went and did
according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many
days. 16. And the barrel of meal wasted
not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD,
which he spake by Elijah
Because of the prophet Elijah, the house where he was
temporarily staying never ran out of flour and oil during a period of
widespread famine in that country. Isn't that a miracle?
1 Kings 19:5. And
as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him,
and said unto him, Arise and eat. 6. And he
looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water
at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again 7. And the
angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too
great for thee. 8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength
of that mea forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God
While in the desert, God supernaturally provided food
for the prophet Elijah.
God also fed his people when they wandered in the
desert for 40 years.
Exodus 16:13. And
it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in
the morning the dew lay round about the host. 14. And when the dew that lay was
gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing,
as small as the hoar frost on the ground. 15. And when the children of Israel
saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was.
And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to
eat. 16. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every
man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of
your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. 17. And the
children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 18. And when they
did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that
gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
31. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like
coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 32.
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it
to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you
forth from the land of Egypt
Psalms 105:39. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light
in the night. 40. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places
like a river. 42. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant
Nehemiah 9:20.
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy
manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 21. Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the
wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their
feet swelled not
Psalms 78:23.
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the
corn of heaven. 25. Man did eat angels'
food: he sent them meat to the full
Manna from heaven, quail – all this was a daily
miracle for 40 years! Just think about that number. 40 years of feeding a
fairly large number of people in the absolute desert.
The Lord knows the needs of believers. He will not
leave them without protection and sustenance.
The only condition is faith and -
Luke 12:29. And
seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of
doubtful mind. 30. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:
and your Father knoweth that ye have
need of these things. 31. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these
things shall be added unto you
All who seek the Kingdom of God and hold fast to their
faith and trust in the Lord will receive support even in the most severe times
of famine, and this will be a truly ordinary, supernatural miracle, every day!
This is the Lord's promise! This is His Word, and He fulfills His Word.
Therefore, Christians have a way out to save
themselves and their families during the famine and not submit to the
Antichrist, not accept the mark of the Antichrist on their bodies and thereby
preserve their faith and soul for the Lord, for the eternal kingdom.
As with Moses, who led the people through the desert
for 40 years, this period will also be called a wilderness. A desert is a place
where, for the average person, seems there is nothing - no water, no food, no
money, no clothing - nothing at all that could help them survive. The exodus of
God's people from Egypt into the desert was a monumental step of faith. There
was no turning back, and ahead was the scorching desert. Everyone knew this,
yet they took a crucial step forward, seemingly with death both behind and
ahead. But they focused all their thoughts on how they would survive in the
desert and where to find food, and they entrusted it all to the Lord. And they
were right. God was faithful and kept His Word, His promise, for He is
righteous and never breaks His promises.
This is a test of faith! There is no turning back, and ahead is a seemingly hopeless situation and certain death. So it will be in the last years on the earth. God will lead His people into the wilderness to deliver and save them, so that they may inherit the promised thousand-year kingdom. The remaining inhabitants of the earth, the unbelievers, will be completely destroyed.
The same desert awaits us believers in the last days.
Each of us will have to take (or not take) a step into the desert, relying on
our own wisdom and strength, or relying solely on the Lord. God's promise tells
us that He will not leave any of His people without help in the wilderness.
Sinners will rely solely on their own strength, succumbing to the temptations
of the Antichrist and accepting the mark on their hands and foreheads, thinking
that no evil will befall them and that they are completely safe. Unfortunately for
them this is the worst choice they will ever make. They will have no other
chance.
Believers, however, will have to overcome their fears and
doubts… and step into the wilderness. In this way they will save their souls
and avoid the harm of hell. God will provide food for His people, those who
believe in Him, even in times of extreme famine. Whether it's by natural or
supernatural means—don't dwell on it. It's not our concern. The Lord will work
on this, and there are countless ways to feed His faithful.
Just remember, when you receive food, don't rush to
eat it right away. Following the example of Jesus Christ, who fed thousands,
thank your Heavenly Father first. Share with your neighbors without fear of
running out. You received freely, so give freely. Don't exchange this food for
something else or save it for later, lest it spoil. Each new day you will have
new, fresh, and delicious food from the Lord.
Believers will not be exterminated from the earth.
Many of them will survive until the coming of Christ the Savior. Of course, there
will suffering for for faith. The Bible makes no secret of this. But we must
fight for the future. This is a life-or-death struggle against evil. A believer
must be prepared for death, if that is their destiny.
This is a struggle, not a joke, not retribution for
some idea... This is a war, a war for one's family, a war for life unto death.
Satan wants to buy people's souls for a piece of bread or the promise of a
short-lived peace.
Matthew 10:28.
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but
rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 39. He
that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it
If you want to see your children again, to live again
on earth in the new millennial kingdom of the saints, you must step into the
desert, reject the conditions of the Antichrist, his total control, and not
fear death or imprisonment. All those who suffer and are killed for their
faith, for the Word of God, for Jesus Christ, will return to earth safe and
sound. God will resurrect them all and grant them the right to live on a new
earth in a new millennial kingdom, where there will be no more sin, tears,
sickness, or death.
The Antichrist will fully exploit the growing famine
on earth. Under the pressure of hunger, people will be easily manipulated.
A hungry person loses common sense and willpower,
their behavior changes, and apathy, aggression, and irritability appear, all
signs of an animal instinct, the instinct of self-preservation, the strongest
of all is to save one's life at any cost, even at the expense of another. It is
difficult to fight the hunger without food and at the same time think clearly,
behave with dignity, not lose your humanity, and not turn into some kind of
beast that is ready to do anything just to feed itself.
The Antichrist will put people to a choice: live or
die. He will launch his global program to control humanity. Chipping, the mark
of the Antichrist, without which a person essentially loses everything - jobs,
money, any means of subsistence (housing, transportation, communications, food,
etc.). At that time, it will seem madness to refuse the mark of the Antichrist,
as for ordinary people, it leads to starvation. Therefore, many will be easily seduced
by the conditions of chipping and the promises of the Antichrist, thinking they
are completely safe, will be able to live, work, and buy food and clothing for
their families. But only believers will be aware of the main pitfall of this
system - the bribery of a person's soul. Such people will never see God again,
and their future destiny is eternal torment in hell. Then they will all regret
that they agreed to the insanely short-term conditions of the Antichrist, that
it would have been better to die of hunger, to be killed, to suffer for a short
period of time, but to preserve their soul (life) in the new era and avoid
hell.
The seal of the Antichrist is a deception. People will
think that evil will not touch them, that they will live peacefully, work, buy
things and goods - in short, that they will be socially protected. But,
strangely enough, everything will be the opposite. They will suffer hunger,
suffer terrible diseases, and violence and looting will not pass them by, as
they will kill each other due to hunger. Most people will be forced to go to
war and fight on the side of the Antichrist in the third and the last world
war, where he, the Antichrist, will subjugate all nations.
There is another very important point that is strongly
emphasized by Jesus Christ in the Bible.
Luke
21:12. But before all these, they shall lay their hands
on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 16. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and
brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to
be put to death. 17. And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake. 18. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19. In your patience possess ye your souls
Matthew 24:9. Then shall they deliver you up to be
afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my
name's sake. 10. And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another
Mark 13:12. Now
the brother shall betray the brother to
death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13. And ye shall be hated
of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved
This is the Antichrist's terrifying condition: to find
and betray Christians in exchange for money or food. What must happen for a
brother to betray his own brother to death, for a father to kill his children,
why would everyone begin to hate each other with a singular rage, despite the
fact that they are your closest and dearest, once loved ones? Hunger, which
breaks a person in half, their moral values, family ties, feelings, will,
priorities, changes behavior, increases aggression, anger, hatred, and
resentment.
Believers will be betrayed by their loved ones for a piece
of bread and temporary protection, just to feed themselves and survive. Why
will the Antichrist specifically conduct, support and encourage the persecution
of Christians?
For him, and same for the Lord, every lost soul will
be important. Satan has vast plans for harvesting souls destined for hell.
Therefore, at that time, Christians will be extremely focused on saving souls
for the Lord, not for Satan.
Daniel 11:33.
And they that understand among the
people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
by captivity, and by spoil, many days
Daniel 12:10. Many shall be purified, and made white, and
tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall
understand; but the wise shall
understand
Many ordinary unbelievers will be taught the truth,
and many will understand who the Antichrist really is and what his plans are
for the entire world. Many will be saved through the sermons and teachings of true
Christians, who will be the target of the hatred and malice of the entire world
and hell.
John 15:25. But
this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their
law, They hated me without a cause
Matthew 13:21. Yet
hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by
he is offended.
This will be the harvest of the last days, the
gathering of human souls. Blessed will be those who accept the truth and hold
to it to the very end.
Ecclesiastes 8:11.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the
heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 14. There is a vanity
which is done upon the earth; that there
be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again,
there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the
righteous: I said that this also is vanity
In those last times, it will seem to everyone that
evil knows no bounds or end, that sinners will rule the earth forever, that
sin, violence and injustice will never cease. Many will laugh, watching the
torment and abuse of believers.
2 Peter 2:9. The
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the
unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished
Jesus endured this when He was beaten and nailed to
the cross. God the Father also led His Son, Jesus Christ, into the desert. He
was tempted by Satan and endured, endured hunger and thirst, endured beatings
and death - and endured, and prevailed. He conquered Satan, conquered sin,
thereby enabling others to be saved through Him, His sacrifice.
Why would the Lord allow Christians to be persecuted
in the last days?
This is a test, a true test,
a final test, a trial by fire and sword. This is how the truth will be revealed
to those who truly believe in God and stand firm in their faith until death,
trusting solely in the Lord, and not succumbing to Satan's deception.
1 Peter 1:7. That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might
be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ
1 Corinthians 3:13. Every man's work shall be made
manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by
fire; and the fire shall try every man's
work of what sort it is
Zechariah 13:9. And I will bring the third part through the
fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is
tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear
them: I will say, It is my
people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God
1 Peter 3:17. For
it is better, if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing
What will the righteous receive in return for their
faith and the suffering they endure? An inheritance, a new life in the
millennium and in the Kingdom of Heaven in the following centuries, deliverance
from death and hell.
James 1:12.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the
Lord hath promised to them that love him
1 Corinthians 2:9. But
as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him
Psalms 58:10. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth
the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11. So
that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a
God that judgeth in the earth
Malachi 3:18.
Then shall ye return, and discern
between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that
serveth him not
Galatians 6:8. For
he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that
soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
Philippians 1:21. For
to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain
2 Timothy 2:11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us
Revelation 22:1. And
he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of
the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner
of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were
for the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5.
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of
the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and
ever. 6. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord
God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things
which must shortly be done
The price of faith, suffering, and trials is great!
There is something to fight for and we must fight! It will be difficult to go
against the tide, but the result will exceed all expectations. Hold fast to
your faith and do not succumb to the false temptations of the Antichrist. Very
difficult and terrible times are coming. Every person on earth will be touched
by grief, trials, and a choice to live to die, or to die to survive.
Do not accept the Antichrist's mark on your body! Do
not join the Antichrist's army! Do not seek revenge! Do not blame God for all
your troubles, do not blaspheme Him in the most difficult times! On the
contrary, persevere to the end, glorify God in the most difficult moments. Pray
to the Creator every day! Do not think or doubt that He has forgotten you. Not
a single one of His souls will perish.
Of course, it's undeniably difficult to glorify God
when your own children are being killed before your eyes. There's no greater
grief. But at that moment, don't forget that, dying for the Lord and the faith,
you will receive your life and the lives of your family back. You will meet
again and live on earth, and your joy will be immense, indescribable that which
was worth fighting for, suffering for, and standing firm to the end.
Revelation 21:4. And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away
The Lord Himself will avenge you and your family. The
brief joy and jubilation of sinners, followers of the Antichrist, will soon be
replaced by indescribable sorrow, and this sorrow will last for eternity.
Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge
not yourselves, but rather give
place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the
Lord. 20. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil
with good
Not a single soul will be forgotten or lost. There
will be no accidents or misfortunes beyond the Lord's control. Everything that
happens to the righteous is by God's will. Remember, your life depend on your
choice.
Never ever forget
God's promise: Matthew 10:39. He that findeth his life shall lose it:
and he that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it.
Write this down in the most prominent place in your
mind, in your heart. It will come true soon.
This desert must be crossed to enter the promised land
- a new life with the Lord.
1. Do good. Don't lose your human qualities, help
those in need, share with others, have compassion and a righteous heart).
2. Do not sin. Give God the legal right to
help/protect you in ordinary or extraordinary ways. Don't lie, don't kill,
don't steal, etc.
3. Believe, be patient and love. It will all end soon.
4. Don't worry about food, clothing or illness. Famine
and epidemics for unbelievers.
5. Don't be afraid or terrified. Keep calm, strengthen
your heart, you have nothing to lose, everything will return and be compensated.
6. Don't judge or seek revenge (against no one, ever).
7. Overcome with patience. Stand firm to the end.
8. Don't save your body (threat of death or
imprisonment).
9. Don't save your property (land, house, car, money,
or anything else).
10. Watch out. Be wise and respectful, beware of
meanness, lies and betrayal from family, friends or people who consider
themselves as true believers).
11. Don't use any weapons. Don't kill anyone.
12. Wait for Jesus and prepare to meet Him (count the
days/years). From the day of the Antichrist's arrival until the return of Jesus
Christ, 2557 days will pass, exactly 7 years. Come out and worship Him on the last
judgment day.
13. Don't blame God under any circumstances or for any
reason. No complaints or grumbling!
14. Preach and help people without the mark of the
Antichrist if possible.
15. Pray and praise the Lord constantly, call on His
name. Sstrengthen your spirit and faith.
16. Listen to God. Trust Him, be guided by Him, and
immediately fulfill everything He tells you - through dreams, word or
revelation.
17. Do not accept the mark of the Antichrist on your
body. Even under threat of death for yourself or your loved ones - do not
respond to threats, accusations, ultimatums or bribery.
18. Speak not evil one of another (of your
authorities, enemies or neighbors).
19. Beware of false prophets and false preachers. Do
not listen or believe them.
20. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord. Trust God,
remain at peace with God and fear only the Lord Jesus.
21. Get rid of all things that tempt or remind you of
sin (sinful, cursed and unclean - alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, weapons, icons,
literature and electronic information).
22. Distance yourself from unbelievers and all who
refuse to acknowledge Jesus Christ as God, even family and relatives, so that
you will not be a partaker of their sins. The reapers - the angels of death will
come for them (a shell, a missile, a bullet, a fire, a flood, famine, disease an
earthquake, etc.).
Defeat evil with good!
