Preparing for the Coming of the Messiah

People today are striving to find the truth about why they are here, what is their calling , who is God and what does He expect, and most of all, what comes next. They thirst for the answers to life's most important and elusive questions. Many people have forgotten the message of love Jesus gave us. They don't realize that His second coming will soon be fulfilled, revealing the answers to all these questions.

Perry Ennis, author of Prepare for the Coming of Messiah: A Message of Love, Restoration, Warning and Hope says, "We are in the last generation, and the world events that are fulfilling end time prophecies are happening very quickly. It is very important that we understand what is going on, so we can prepare for the difficult times ahead."

During the 1960's, Ennis lived a hippie lifestyle, partying, experimenting with drugs, and losing all faith in God. He became depressed and suicidal, not knowing where to turn for help. A stranger found him during these desperate times, giving him love and compassion, reintroducing Ennis to God and His words of hope. Ennis asked Jesus to come into his heart, and his ministry as a teacher of the end time prophecies was revealed to him.

He is passionate about bringing God's truth about the end times to the people of the world, helping them prepare for the fulfillment of the greatest prophecy of all time.

Ennis says, "Know more than anything that our creator God loves all of us more than we can comprehend. He has great plans and kingdom ministry work for each of us to do." In order to prepare for the end times and undertake God's plan for us, we must develop an intimate relationship with Him: believe in Him, love Him, respect Him, worship Him, and follow God's instructions. Accept Jesus as the Messiah, and our loving relationship with God will endure throughout eternity.

The truth about the end times is revealed in scripture. The proof that these prophecies and scriptures are true can be seen in the accounts written by various prophets, Kings, and disciples.

An example of such proof is from Psalms22:16, 16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. King David wrote this psalm 700 years before the Romans used crucifixion as an inhuman form of execution, yet David knew the details of this form of punishment.

Another example demonstrating the truth of prophecies is seen in Psalms 16:9-11. 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Here, King David speaks in the words of Jesus, thanking God for protecting him and not condemning him to the world of the dead. This prophecy reveals the truth of Jesus' resurrection.

The confirmation of these readings is seen 1070 years after King David wrote the psalms by John 20:27-29. 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

The Bible is filled with such confirmations and fulfillments of prophecy recorded by eye witnesses. The scriptures are right in front of us, waiting to reveal the truths human beings have been thirsting for since the beginning of mankind.

The signs of the end times are found in the scriptures:
- The most prominent prophecy to be fulfilled will be the coming regional war on the Middle East in which Israel will be the first to strike. They will defeat the enemy with the help of the USA and Yahweh. This war fulfills the prophecy in Isaiah 11/17. 1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Damascus is one of the most ancient cities in the world and the capital of Syria.

- Watch for men claiming to be the Messiah. Be aware of the prophecy of false Messiahs to guard yourself from belief in their falsehoods as revealed in Matthew 24:4-5. 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

- Be aware of the rogue asteroid scheduled to impact the earth in 2012. This would be the fulfillment of the four trumpet prophecies. Revelations 8. 8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

All of these prophesied events will lead to the great war mentioned in Ezekial 38-39. Take a proactive stand and educate yourself in what the scriptures have to say about the end times. Find the way to prepare and be ready, understanding the truth of the approaching tribulation.

Find the faith to get closer to Jesus, believing that He will be there for you. He will never abandon you, but be with you forever. We can experience the peace He offers by walking with Him, and following his word.

Act in a proactive way, praying all the time. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your mission in the world. Pray for Jesus' love to come into your heart, so you can administer to His people. Follow His word and you will reach God's kingdom.
