The times in which we live in
It’s April of 2024 and the past 14 months or so I have been hearing and seeing Bible prophecy playing out right in front of me. You too if you have eyes that see and ears that hear. When Jesus was on the earth He used to make that statement often. “He that has eyes to see and ears to hear”. Jesus is referring to spiritual seeing and hearing maybe another way to say it would be “understanding the ways of God”, how God moves in and on the earth. Not everyone has this spiritual sight, hearing or understanding. The type of sight, hearing and understanding I’m talking about comes when you’re born again when you get saved, when you’re in the Kingdom of God.
John 3 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 2 (New International Version)
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
Navigating the times in which we live in, it helps when you have some Bible understanding of the things that you are seeing, hearing and encounter. But if you’re new to the Kingdom of God. God open the eyes of a newbie all the time, Bible knowledge is not a prerequisite of revelation. Revelation is available to all of us its God’s discretion how he passes it out. I have found that when you’re hungry and searching for the word and things of God revelation is revealed.
I want you to understand whether you’re new to the word of God or been following and reading the word of God for years. If you understand this concept it will help in understanding the times in which we live in. Here’s the concept “Ever since Adam sinned against God, God has always been taking mankind where He needs us to be”. God is sovereign in and on the earth and He is moving mankind to where He wants it to be Spiritually, intellectually, and physically. God has His own Plan and timing. I wrote a blog called “What is the Bible” I don’t want to repeat that information here so read that blog and add that information to this blog.
Doing Your Part
Ecclesiastes 3 (New International Version)
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
I need you to see that the Bible is telling us everything we need to know. If you read all of Ecclesiastes 3 it helps you gain a perspective of the parallels between natural worldly seasons and the seasons of mankind existence.
Proverbs 4 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, and pay attention in order to gain and to know intelligent discernment, comprehension, and interpretation [of spiritual matters].
Connecting the dots it’s going to take some Bible knowledge and understanding to piece together Bible prophecy. The things that are happening on and in the earth today. You must have some foreknowledge to be able to compare the things that you are playing out in front of you. I want to be totally clear I’m talking about reading the signs that the Bible shows will be taking place before the Christ Jesus returns.
Luke 12 New International Version
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?
I’m saying all of this to get believers to wake up and start paying attention to the spiritual voice that has been given to us to recognize what is going on in the earth now! You know that scripture that says, “you’re not of the world but you do live in this world” and you need to pay attention to what God is doing and how He want believers to respond.
John 15 New International Version
19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
People in the Kingdom of God are not supposed to be acting and reacting as the world acts and reacts to what’s going on currently. This blog is about lighting a fire in you to start seeking the word of God and studying the times that we live in. I know for myself I was ignorant to what the Bible says about the times we are currently in. Most of my years in the Kingdom of God I was taking the information that was given from the pastors, bits and pieces of books and movies that I’ve seen about Jesus returning to this earth. Now that I have studied it for myself, I have a much different understanding about the end of this earth age and the return of Jesus. My hope is that you will study it for yourself and get what the Holy Spirit has to say on the matter. We’ve been born for this time and God needs us to do what He’s called us to do, and in order to do that you have to be connected to Holy Spirit.

“The Bible” That's Who and What you Believe.
Colossians 1 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [[g]special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the [h]full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [[i]in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things—
Seek the word because the word works if you work it.
Never stop learning and growing
