End Game
The concept of the end game is the coming age of the end of this world as we know it. It had been decided by God a long time ago how all things would end. Several scenarios have been in play since the beginning of time that had set in motion the end from the beginning. Jesus said, “I am the Alpha & Omega, The Beginning & The End. To prove this, Jesus created the world and all of the Universe we know. It is the unfolding mystery of this creation that all of mankind has to come to understand. Man was created with specific intentions by Jesus for His glory. We began a journey in a garden called Eden on earth and we will end it in heaven beyond this earth, if we believe.
To many, this is a fantasy. However, people who scoff at the idea of the existence of God or Jesus being God and Lord, should think about what was said in the Bible. They should then match it up with the events of the world and see if there has been any truth behind what was said in the Holy Bible. Furthermore, if God is real and Jesus is real, He should be manifested to them in their lives. He said to prove Him.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If the answer is yes that God is real, He has been proven and we are at the end game according to the Bible. There are many more things that must happen before the world as we know it will be destroyed. These events are unfolding before our very eyes right now and we should pay heed.
The journey ahead for us is filled with danger because we believe and hold fast to the truth. Our enemies who comprise of satan and human beings who do not believe in Jesus will most certainly do all that they can to keep us from believing. They will also attempt at not allowing the end game to happen. The demons know that there is an end game. That is the reason they are doing everything to delay the coming of the Lord.
Mat 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. Mat 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
The signs of the times tell us that Jesus is coming back soon. Rev_3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
First of all, He will come back for His Church the bride. Then He will come back to destroy those who stand opposed to His rule. He will destroy both evil spirits and human beings who are in league with satan. He will also destroy the unbelievers (sinners) who may have once believed and turned their heart away from Him and those who never believed (sinners) in God at all.
After this, Jesus will set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. During this time, He will bring peace upon the earth like never before. He will also establish the government by which He will rule for a thousand years. Those who are involved in this millennium will be blessed to be partakers of this government. They will rule and reign with Jesus.
After this, satan will once again be loosed from his imprisonment in the bottomless pit. At this time, he will seek to gather the forces once again whom he will convince to go against Jesus. At this time, God will destroy the earth by fire. After this, a new heaven and earth will be created. This begins the final dwelling place amongst His creation for God. This also ushers in eternity and all mankind who believed in Jesus, will be with God forever. The evil forces, satan and those who did not believe will end up in the lake of fire.
So, what does all this mean for us who are alive right now? I believe it means we should endeavour to be prepared for our stage of the end game. This requires us to prepare our hearts to meet our Lord and Saviour and be busy doing what He asks us to do. For this to happen, we must be praying, hearing, and doing, instead of going about our lives as though nothing matters.
We see a world devastated by war, famine, plagues, natural disasters, and the loss of love between people. This has resulted in much death and sorrow upon this earth. The current miserable state of the earth should tell us that the end of the end times is at hand. Added to this, the great deception that will come is the peace accord. This will lull almost everyone into believing that there is nothing wrong. Yet, we know through scripture that this is a prelude to world domination by the antichrist who will seek to destroy everything associated with God, especially the Church. Man would not have seen such death, sorrow, and pain since time began. Mar 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
We are warned and forewarned by Jesus Himself to be ever so watchful. The cry of the hour for us is “Watch and Pray”.
I am constantly concerned about the Church as she does not know the end game is about her right now. She is the bride of Christ and the devil seeks to make her an example of his wrath upon all those who believe in Jesus. Many in the Church do not believe the way that they should believe and are in a lot of confusion because they lack the knowledge of God and Jesus. They do not read their Bibles, pray, or watch for the signs of the times. This is the sad truth. Such people are being decimated by satan daily and many have lost hope. They do not know their God because to them He does not answer. So, they do not press in to find out His love, mercy, will and grace.
If the elect themselves could be deceived, they would be, except that God has shortened the days for our sakes. Be strong and of good courage. Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Hold onto your faith as the journey ahead is about to be tested like never before.
Lots of love
