Many of God's people have a dim picture of the future when the subject of the end times
is discussed. What about the future of the world, and, more explicitly, the future of the children
of God who presently make up the Body of Christ and inhabit the Earth?
A few years ago, I felt impressed of the Lord not to book any meetings during the fall that year
in order to receive further spiritual direction from Him. While separating myself from all
unnecessary activities, I began to hear the voice of the Lord say, "My son, I want you to begin
teaching on the end times and the Book of Revelation."

This was startling news for me and most difficult to comprehend. It had been more than 20 years
since I last attempted to teach on the Book of Revelation. I recall vividly. It was in our home church
as a lay teacher that I had adequately prepared myself and even made drawings to illustrate my
message. As I approached the pulpit, the Lord spoke to my heart, saying, "Do not teach on the
Book of Revelation."
I do not remember what subject I taught on that night, but it was certainly not my prepared
message on the Book of Revelation! Now, some 20 years later, the Lord has instructed me to teach
on the end times and the Book of Revelation.

The Lord explained His purpose for this end-time message. It was to eradicate fear from His
children's minds. Many of the Lord's people are in fear concerning the end times and especially
the Book of Revelation.
The Book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ, and there is no fear in Jesus. Through
a proper understanding of the end times, fear will be removed from the life of the child of God.
Since the beginning of 1996, we have endeavored to fulfill the Lord's commission by shifting our
emphasis and devoting ourselves to the end-time message.

Our approach before going through the Book of Revelation is to discover and share what Jesus
said about the end times. If we understand and accept what Jesus taught concerning the last days,
we will have a sure foundation for our faith and a solid position to weigh what others say about the
end times.
How gratifying it is to see God's people come alive when they hear the message of the end
times and gain fresh insight from God's written Word.
We are committed to bringing revelation to the Body of Christ concerning these last days
through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. |
