Please pray with me before I get into my talk. Dear L-rd Yeshua, Jesus, It is our blessing Dear L-rd to be able to hear a word from you today. I pray that you will anoint the ears of each listener to hear and understand. I pray L-rd that you will continue to bless those that tune in and lead them with wisdom. Thank you for using me as your vessel. In Yeshua, Jesus’ holy name I pray, Amen.

We are living in the Day that I believe that our L-rd Yeshua, Jesus Christ wants the Church turned towards preparation and focus for His return. I say that based on scripture references and the specific things that are happening in the Church today including the Restoration of Israel and the identification of its original people and their descendants, the Black people throughout the world. I’m going to share scripture with you today and tell you what G-d has put on my heart concerning these things.

In the book of Matthew chapter 24 verse 3 the disciples asked our L-rd, what shall be the sign of His coming and the end of the world? Yehsua went on throughout the rest of the chapter to tell the disciples and us what to look for as evidence that He is coming very soon.

I shared some of those things with you in a recent sermon about the latter days. What we discovered is that most of the signs that our L-rd told us to look for are present in the world today.

To recap on some of those things that we see that are going on throughout the world that our L-rd warned us about are in Matthew 24:4-25. The earthquakes and other natural disasters including the great tsunami that happened a couple of years ago are evidence of the sign of the times. We are hearing about the wars and rumors of wars and nations rising against nations. We see famines, diseases and pestilences like not ever before. People hate one another like never before and murder is rampant. Pregnant women and children are being killed at staggering statistics. False prophets and false Christ’s are on the rise.

The world is in a horrible condition and it is precisely this condition that the L-rd told us to look for as the sign of His coming. Matthew 24:8 describes these things as the beginning of sorrows. Surely, we are in this time of the beginning of sorrows.

Many Christians are being deceived today or are in denial about whether Christians will go thought the Great Tribulation. I have news for you, my brothers and sisters. We are already there. We are experiencing the beginnings of the Tribulation. These are the Days of the L-rd’s wrath.

Matthew 24:29-31 tells us clearly that it would be immediately after the Tribulation that our L-rd Yeshua will come. This scripture tells us clearly that the L-rd will come after the Tribulation. This scripture challenges the theological thought that there will be a rapture of Christians before the Tribulation.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, we must get prepared, realizing the days we have come into. All of the current knowledge coming forth today concerning true Israel, the Black descendants of the original Jewish people and their/our restoration is all pointing to the same thing—Christ’s return.

The fact that this knowledge is coming forth today is evidence of the nearness of Christ’s return. There is much instruction throughout the New Testament to help us to know what to expect and how to prepare for our L-rd’s return.

Let’s get into the scripture to find out more about our L-rd’s return. I’m going to focus on just a couple of passages. Please read with me out of 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12. Now please read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:1-11.

Scripture also calls this time in the history of the church, the L-rd’s Wrath. As I mentioned earlier, this is sort of a bittersweet thing because it is this time that starts the restoration of our people at a time of great wrath, trials and tribulation. What this restoration means to the descendants of the original Jewish people, who are Black people of the world, is that we must learn our heritage and learn to observe the Holy Feast days and Sabbath, as was originally instructed to our ancestors.

I believe that it is the L-rd’s will that all of His people will obey His holy commands that were given by Moses to Israel. At the end of time when our L-rd comes back and gathers all of His people, Jews and Gentiles, Isaiah 56 indicates that He will want all Christian people to be obedient to Jewish Law.

Revelation 21 tells us that there will one day be a New Jerusalem and all of G-d’s people will dwell there. I believe that in this New Jerusalem we, all Christians, Jews and Gentiles will live the Jewish way of life with its customs and Feasts.

These are such perilous times. I do not know how any one can make it without the L-rd in their lives. It is our Saviors call to us today to get right; to live a holy life. This means purging ourselves of the evil and impure things that we have given ourselves to that are not holy and Christ like.

The L-rd says that He is going to separate the wheat and the tares…those who worship Him and those who do not. I believe He has started that process today.

What is G-d’s instruction to us in these latter days that we are living in so that we can cope and prayerfully make it through the perilous times?

1. Luke 18:1 says to always pray and not faint.

2. Thess 5: 6&8 says be watchful and sober; put on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

3. Thess 5:11 says for us to comfort each other together

These are just a few of the instructions that our L-rd gives us to follow as we go through the days of Tribulation. Let us heed the L-rd’s commands. I will add to these things also that pregnant women need to be extra careful and parents need to be over protective of your children. Murder is the number one cause of death to pregnant women today and our children are being preyed upon. Our L-rd told us that these things were going to happen. If we ignore the warning signs and do not take extra precaution knowing these things, we are basically disrespecting Yeshua, Jesus and ignoring Him.

People are also extremely stressed out over their jobs, money problems, etc. and as a result, committing heinous crimes against their own family members. We are seeing whole families murdered by one of their own members.

Let us remember that the most precious gift that G-d had given us is life. A life is for more important and precious than any material thing. Our L-rd Yeshua tells us not to worry about tomorrow for today has enough worries for itself. He also tells us not to worry about what we will eat or wear because He will provide for us. He tells us that He will never leave us or forsake us. Often times it is us who leaves Him but He never leaves us.

Let us keep our priorities straight and realize what is most important in this life and it is life. Truly, these are stressful times that we live in but if we continue to put our hope and trust in our Savior Yeshua, Jesus, than He will bring us through.

Sometimes the things that we are going through are for the testing of our faith. I want you to pass your test. G-d is constantly testing us to purify us and build our character. Learn to realize when you are being tested by

G-d….and pass the test. Often times when we are going through great lack financially, or trials with other people on our jobs, in our families etc, G-d maybe testing your faith.

Let us continue to hold onto, trust and hope in our Great L-rd and Savior Yeshua for truly He is able to keep us, bless us and protect us. Amen
