HOW CAN WE KNOW--IF THIS IS THE FINAL GENERATION?

The FINAL Generation: Psalm 83 & God’s Plan for the Future.

Prophecy points us to Christ, the author of history and the theme of Scripture.

God's Word is, at its very center, prophetic.

The God who recorded the beginning that no one but Him witnessed in Genesis is also the God who recorded the ending that no one but Him could have ever written in Revelation.

Isn’t it amazing that God devotes 1/4th or 25% of the Bible to the inseparable union of the world’s destiny with God’s Chosen People of Promise, Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews? Always remember: THE CENTRALITY OF ISRAEL IN THE BIBLE.

Using just an ordinary Bible with no study notes (my Bible is 1100 pages long), you find that:

600 pages (Genesis to Song of Solomon) are Israel’s origin, history, wanderings away from God, and worship (that is 600/1100 pages or) 54%; and

250 pages are devoted to the prophets (Isaiah to Malachi) that speak of the doom coming first to Israel then and the world in the future (that is 250/1100 pages or) 23%; and then we get:

-110 pages devoted to the Life of Christ (Matthew to John) that lasts for (110/1100 pages or) -10% of the Bible; and then

-120 pages devoted to the record of Acts to Jude that explains Christ's Church’s birth and mission for 120/1100 pages or 11%; and then the

-20 pages of Revelation describing the centrality of Israel and Jerusalem at the end of the world take up almost (20/1100 pages or) 2% of the Bible.

So, just a simple glance at the Table of Contents of God's Word would make a reader conclude that Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews are very important to God.

Also, just the layout of the Bible that opens and closes with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jews with the Church’s 21 % of the Word sandwiched importantly, but intentionally between the opening and closing.

God, who engineered the Scriptures, has chosen to devote fully (4/5ths or) 79% of the Bible to Israel’s origin, calling, chastisement, return, and future troubles that engulf the world.

Each time the Old Testament prophets explained the future, they universally began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem and the Land.

Each time Jesus explained how the world would end, he started with Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21).

Each time Paul explained how the world would end, it began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Romans 9-11, 1 & 2 Thessalonians (II Th. 2:4).

Each time John explained how the world would end, he began with Israel, and all details revolved around Jerusalem in Revelation 11, 13, 16, and 19.

Israel is the 3rd largest topic in the Bible.

Listening the message when you mentioned Shabbat, I thought to my self, we don't have Shabbat, but yes, we live in a Shabbat, Jesus is our Shabbat

[warriophecy]

In figuring out the year of the pretrib rapture, going backward in time is problematic, as the calendar was messed with such that they could not even correctly determine when Christ was born, nor when He died. Christ knew this and gave us a way to determine when He is coming back by looking forward in time, not backward. The answer is found in the following:

1) Understand the Parable of the Fig Tree and Psalm 90:10 = A Spread of Years
2) Understand the Meaning of the Days of the Son of Man = Like Days of Noah
3) Understand the Lord's Feast Days: Feast of Trumpets = Day of Pretrib Rapture (First New Moon after fall equinox), giving one the day; Day of Atonement = 2nd Coming; Feast of Tabernacles = Temporary Tabernacling w/ Christ for 1, 000 years
4) Understand the Jewish culture = "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" = Jewish informal idiom/colloquialism = a specific time of day, every day, giving one the "hour".
5) Understand Hosea 6:2, as it relates to the pretrib rapture (On the third day He will raise us up)
6) Understand there are 2, 550 days between FOT and Day of Atonement, the seven-year trib, not 2, 520 days as erroneously taught by Awe and the Church.
7) Understand the pretrib rapture will occur on both, Saturday and Sunday.

Understanding all this will give you the year of the pretrib rapture.


USA is in end-times Bible prophecy but not in a manner that USA citizenry would like. One must first understand that in the Old Testament there are three parts to humanity: the saved, the wicked and the nonbelieving Gentile nations. Read the Psalms; it's all in there. The saved are those who follow the Lord's laws, statutes and commandments. The wicked are those who do not (scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees and their followers). This also applies to todays' church leaders and their congregations and nonbelieving secular society. So knowing this, this lens, one can more easily read and understand the Bible. Of course, you will have to overcome many of your traditions that make the Bible of no effect. For example, here are a few lies (Psalm 58:1-3) that you espouse against Scripture:;

1) The pretrib rapture is imminent; no other signs prior to its occurrence (FALSE; A few pre-pretrib rapture prophecies yet to be fulfilled)
2) Christ does not know day/hour of pretrib rapture, misinterpreting/misapplying Matt 24:36/Mark 13:32. (FALSE: Christ does know the day/hour as He knows all things [John 16:30, 21:17])
3) Christian cannot know the day and hour of the pretrib rapture. (FALSE: Yes one can: Feast of Trumpets = New Moon = the day; Twinkling of an eye = the hour; the Parable of the Fig Tree and Psalm 90:10 gives you the spread of years for possible rapture time period)
4) of Rev 12:1-5 such that you use the OT to define the meaning in the NT. (FALSE: Rev 12:5 and Rev 4:1-2 are sister pretrib rapture verses. This is the nexus/connecting point. All before Rev 12:5 occurs before Rev 4:1-2. Likewise, all after Rev 12:5 occurs after Rev 4:1-2)

Setting the stage: Just as prophesied, a worldwide blackness and darkness will envelop the Earth (Matt 12:39-40), as His Bride/Body will be birthed after being in blackness and darkness just as my Lord was in the heart of the Earth, in blackness and darkness before He was resurrected. With this blackness and darkness as a backdrop, the great fiery red dragon will appear in the heavens, as if hanging over the Nation of Israel, a truly terrorizing sight. (Rev 12:3, Isaiah 66:7-9) For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her Children (Isaiah 66:7-9). This great fiery red dragon will bring with it an immensely long trailing asteroid debris field. Christ will bring it in just at the right time at the right distance from the Earth, such that Satan will use his tail to draw a third of these asteroids from heaven to the Earth (Revelation 12:4a) on the Feast of Trumpets, a New Moon. The asteroids will fall upon the New World (minus possibly Alaska) and possibly a small part of the Old World (Possibly Spain/Italy), incinerating the New World (Ezekiel 20:47), such that the West is astonished and the East is frightened. (Job 18:20) Just before the asteroids strike the Earth, the pretrib rapture of His male Child/children will occur, being caught up or raptured (Isaiah 66:7-9; Rev 4:1-2, 12:5) just in the nick of time when all hope seems lost. (Acts 27:20 [prophetic pattern]) So, His children/the male Child (He) are/is saved from out of it (Jeremiah 30:7). However, His accursed children (2 Peter 2:14) are rebuked and chastened (Rev 3:19; Psalms 6:1, 38:1), being left behind on the Earth to die in writhing pain (Joel 2:6) from a burning wind (Psalm 11:6, Rev 12:4a, 1 Kings 19:11-12). This is the meaning of one is taken (aboard the ark) and one is left (behind on the Earth to die). (Matthew 24:40-41, Luke 17:34-36) This reaping of the wicked, , heretical, evil, apostate, traitorous tares, after being cut off (Psalm 90:10), is also graphically described in the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares and in Joel 2:1-11. The reaping of both wheat and tares happen at different times (split-seconds apart from each other) but occur so close together it seems in the parable that they are reaped simultaneously.

As you have told the above lies against Scripture, against the Lord, you need to pay close attention to the following:

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). This applies to both one's physical actions as well as one's verbalizations, as they relate to the Word of God (John 12:47-48). So, don't worry, we have all gone astray (Psalm 119:176, Isaiah 53:6). It's what you do with this information that is important. One can approach the Lord with a broken/contrite heart/spirit. (Psalm 34:18, 51:17) Or one can proudly say, I have done no wrong and continue in sin, as the wicked do not see what makes them stumble (Pro 4:19).

So, if you say one thing wrong regarding Scripture (which you has) on at least 3 occasions, you is a liar (Pro 30:5-6) and liars do not enter heaven (1 Timothy 1:9-11), as they have separated themselves from the Lord, forsaken the Lord (2 Kings 22:17; Jer 2:13, 5:7, 5:19, 15:6, 16:11, 19:4). Therefore, guard the door to your mouth (Micah 7:5, Psalm 141:3), lest you also be found to be a liar when your words are compared to the word of God. (John 12:47-48) For, by one's words we will either be justified or condemned. (Matt 12:37)

Thus, take the steps in Rev 3:18-20 and exit from the fallen Church of Laodicea: Ask Christ to anoint your eyes with eye salve such that you see Him again (as Satan blinds you [2 Cor 4:3-5]). Then, be zealous and repent of any lies that you've said against the Lord. Then, say a new salvation statement to the Lord such that the Lord comes in and sups with you and you with Him.

I am a watchman on the wall for my Lord Jesus Christ.

Hey, I believe that Jesus Christ is coming soon to rapture His Church so I wanted to reach out to as many as possible. Please remember that there is only one God that leads to Heaven, the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit) and it’s about having a personal relationship through Jesus Christ versus religion (John 14:6 ESV). Blessings.

During millennial kingdom Jesus rules and reigns from Jerusalem in Israel. I suspect Israel will be from Euphrates river to Nile river in size at that time as promised. Jesus sits on the throne of David which is in the land of Israel. Jesus will defeat all enemies treading the wine press of his fury, the lion of Judah. Those countries who don’t send people yearly to worship during millennial kingdom will not have rain on their land. There will be true peace on earth at that time. The thousand years day of rest for the world with Satan bound, after all these past many years of unrest with the devil roaming about. A child will be able to play with an adder without fear of injury, a zebra and lion could sit together safely during that time.

Excellent teaching! Thank you.🙏🏻📖✝️🕊️🌹

My mother was the first generation to witness the ability of mankind to destroy all life on earth, she's 81

[TheresaRule]

Only God knows when Jesus will return. Be ready at all times.

[michaelmorrow]

Most people seem to be counting on one meaning of the Parable of the Fig Tree...to set the timing for the rapture/tribulation, but there is another meaning as Jesus has an ace in the hole...the Elder Witness is anchoring the generation that won't pass away...and he has no expiration date like a normal person....so the waiting is going to be a lot longer then you expect as not everything is in place.
We are waiting for the rest of God's planned people to be born including the Younger Witness. Neither this century nor the next will be enough time.

[AlanPrifogle]

Its funny we get so bombarded that we become numb. Good to be reminded, Jesus Christ is coming back. The time it occurs really not all that important, He will come back second time at right time. Just like first time was exactly when Gid chose. But He will be back. Hopefully SOON!!? 😊

[befunkrn]

Well, this was the first time John disappointed 😢 me. As a Christian, I take ALL the promises of the OT as for BOTH Israel AND for myself.

[tiglath]

Minor point - he said all books of the Bible were written by Jews but Luke and Acts were written by a gentile.

[LarryTheCableGuy-tvjs]

I still don't understand the final generation reference. I just haven't ever been able to grasp it.

[julianafay]

I appreciate your teachings, but im confused. In this one, you say every one of the biblical authors was Jewish, but I thought Luke was believed to be gentile. And some authors are not known with certainty. Can you help me understand? Thank you.

[annonymous]

When thinking of a generation, it's easier for me personally to think of family generations

I doubt where the last generation, there's others who will be alive when we're gone, future Generations will replace us

We still have at least Another 1, 000 years of world history left Comma think about that 1, 000 years When those who lost their heads for Christ during the tribulation will rule with him on the Earth for 1, 000 years

Then you know when all hell really breaks loose during that 3 and 1/2 years God describes, which really is a total of 7 years from the time it starts

According to how God spells it out, he's nowhere near done with this Earth and won't be for a VERY LONG TIME

God knows how much time is really left between now and the time it all starts

Make those funeral plans, most people in world history will need them

God knows who he wants alive during those historical times that come on the Earth, so he knows who will live to see what and what life will look like during that 1, 000 years the martyrs rule with Jesus

If we're not meant to be here during that time, we won't be

If it's not meant for us to be here during those times, then we won't be here, because we'll be sleeping in the Earth until the last day in world history

God knows who it's for and who it's not for

You may want to get into the Book of John because God said he'll raise his people at the LAST day

God spells out he'll raise his people at the LAST day, NOT BEFORE

John.6 Verses 37 to 40

[37] All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

[38] For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

[39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

[40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Learn the parable of the fig tree and you will find out

[HolySon]

The number of ads throughout your videos is ridiculous. Could you speak to YouTube to stop them please?

[davidcuff]

Pastor Israel becoming a state in 1948 didn't gain it's biblical boundaries. Can you comment on this. Was 1948 fullfilling the fig tree prophecy? Are we truly the final generation? Help!!! Ty.

[kensmith]

watch the movie called, before the wrath, it will give you the understanding about the Bride of Christ, and when we are caught up,

[exitgalaxy]

33:35 I cannot find that psalm 83 phrase in Ezekiel 60 times, actually, not even one time. The word earth is only mentioned 11 times in Ezekiel. So how is it mentioned 60 times???🤔
