THE CHRONICLE OF THE END-TIME EVENTS - PART 1 The years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 12/21/2012 aroused widespread fear, speculation, predictions, excitement, terror and bewilderment in the hearts of men all over the world - the fear of a spectacular occurrence that will terminate the current age and unveil the eternal old mystery of God's plan for the future life of mankind. Eyes were fixed on the skies, ears were gummed to the strange sound of nature while hearts were in violent palpitation of the unknown dread, but yet the Sun had continued its daily circuit from the East to the West. The moon had remained unperturbed in its normal movement, the galaxy of stars was showing nothing un-usual and the entire Celestial Order had maintained an uneasy silence. Are we, therefore, to conclude that these anxieties, fears, and predictions were simply mischief of alarmists. Certainly they were not false alarms but divinely inspired trumpets to arouse and stimulate the world's preparedness for the pending outburst of heavens. Our awareness must be aroused to understand that all things will soon pass, earthly glory, honor and fame will fade away, wealth and riches will become meaningless, and all world ambition a self derision and mockery. Pre-occupied with earthly pleasures, we ignore our eternal destiny. As natural disasters in various forms and magnitude continue to plunder the world and ungodliness in the cloak of civilization continue to rise into crescendo let no wisdom attribute these collective negativities to Global warming but rather a Global Warning that heavenly focus and not temporal enthusiasm must henceforth guide all that we think, say, or do. It is convenient for the ignorant world to expect that rapture and the second Coming of Christ will be accompanied by prior signs and wonders, but no signs will be shown to this perpetually back-sliding world (Matth 24: 26-42) ( II Peter 3:10) except the current alarming rate and intensified frequency of natural disasters, strange happenings, ravaging wars, and heightened level of ungodliness everywhere. Like in the time of Noah (Gen. 7-8) the world will continue to rejoice in the glamour of civilization: in trans-gender, homosexuality, abortion, body desecration, evil fraternities, and all sorts of ungodliness with social, political, and atheistic humanism driving God away from public places and from the hearts of men. Yes, there may be no signs shown to this terminal age of perversion, but the secret of God's plan

will not be with-held from those who fear Him and from His servants. (Psalm 25:14). Unto His faithful servants, the veil of heaven has been opened and God's mystery of eternal consequence revealed about the advanced level of preparedness of Heavens for Rapture. 1. The harvesting angels have been called into a state of red alert to mark every member of the Body of Christ - not the religious people, but the faithful doers of the word of God. 2. The angels in charge of the four winds - the four cardinal points of havens (Paradise) and earth have been summoned into a state of preparedness for the collection of all the elects from paradise and the earth (Matth 24:31). 3. The great convocation arena in the sky - the gathering point to join the Lord - an innumerable number of believers - the redeemed from all tribes, tongues, nations and people of the world has been measured & mapped out. 4. The convocation track already well adorned, heavily decorated, and paved with the finest gold. 5. The centre of the great banquet at the fourth heaven where the great Convocation will be led with dancing, drumming, trumpet, flute, timbrel, harp & clashing cymbals - a great celebration of the marriage of the Lamb. The redeemed body of Christ remains the bride and the Lord Jesus Christ is the groom. The great reception and its lavish entertainment on the evening of the rapture is known as the Banquet for the marriage of the lamb( Rev 19:6-9). The stage is set. All the cutleries are pure diamond. All the redeemed are arraigned in glazing white robes and turbaned in white. (Rev 7: 9-17) 6. Houses where the redeemed will reside are seen spreading out beyond the visible horizon. Some are mansions, some duplexes, some flats, some multi-occupiers room by room, depending on individual's level of giving: investments in the Treasury of heaven in form of spending in houses of worship, for destitute, orphans, widows, clergies, and the poor (Luke12:33-37) 7. The raptured body of Christ will first enjoy 1000 years of rest/Sabbath doing absolutely nothing but rejoicing, relaxing, enjoying, and feasting on the best delicacies and wine (Heb 4:4-11, Rev 20:4-6) And it is said in Isa. 64:4 and 1 Cor. 2:9 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of men, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 8. The raptured body of Christ has no portion in the second death, but like the angels, they will sit with the Supreme Judge of the universe to execute judgment on the world 1 Cor 6:2. But when exactly is the rapture taking place? Certainly during this very generation, and very much at the door, as revealed by His divine Majesty. "But of that day and hour no one knows not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only" - Matth 24:36. A number of devoted believers will, however, regrettably miss the rapture because of Compromise of the TRUTH, unforgiving spirit, hatred, bitterness, malice, pride, and that very possession they treasure above Jesus Christ. Biblically, compromise is a shameful, disreputable or unfaithful concession to the pressure of the world or flesh. It is a subtle detour from the instruction of God; partial obedience. There is an intoxicating misconception nurtured by this terminal generation that the culture, and indulgence of everyone should be tolerated to make the world a free place to live. In the process, darkness is paraded as light, evil is embraced as talent, homosexuality is decorated as civilization and all forms of idolatry and ungodliness are blessed as testimonies of freedom. The world is definitely at the precipice of doom. It continues.
