13 End Time Events Before the Second Coming of Christ

If you've been following this series previously, 3 Cosmic Messages, Earth's Final conflict.

The title of our series reflects the book of Revelation and 3 messages that God sent to John on the island of Patmos.

They're found in Revelation 14, verse 6 to 12.

Let's summarize what we have studied so far in this series.

This is a series of 13 separate presentations.

So far we've discovered the fact that all of the book of Revelation leads us to make eternal choices.

The book of Revelation is about the Christ who invites us to make these choices in the light of eternity.

We've also studied that the gospel of God's grace would go to the ends of the earth before the return of Christ.

That there would be a message that would leap across geographical boundaries.

A message that would penetrate every language group.

Here is something bigger and larger than any of the small plans that human beings make.

And God invites us to be part of something large for Him.

Also, we've studied the fact that this message that would go to the ends of the earth was pictured as being carried by angels, symbolically.

1 of those angels says with a loud voice, fear God.

It's an attitude of obedience toward God.

Giving glory to God is a way in which we express our faith in Him through our lifestyle.

We give glory to Him by what we eat, what we drink, how we live, our attitudes.

We give glory to God by the things we place in our minds.

Here is an urgent call in the light of eternity's judgment for a full, complete consecration to God.

Our message says, I saw another angel flying in the middle of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those that dwell on the earth, to every nation, kindred, tribe, and people, saying with a loud voice, for emphasis, Fear God, give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment not will come, but has come, and worship Him that made heaven, earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Here is a message that calls us in an age of evolution to worship the Creator.

As we enter into our presentation, let's pray.

We hear the voice of God through the Holy Spirit speaking to us.

And Father, as we come to this important topic, We pray that you would guide us by your Holy Spirit to see new things from your Word.

Help us see the importance and significance of creation in an age of evolution.

The title of this presentation is Creation Speaks.

Creation speaks to us of a God who will restore this world in its Edenic splendor.

Creation speaks to us of a creation in the past, a new creation in the future, and how God wants to newly create our lives.

Come back with me over the decades to the 1840s.

Economic, philosophic, and scientific movements were changing the world.

It was here in the 1840s, in fact in 1844, that Charles Darwin published his first draft of The Origin of Species.

That book, The Origin of species, focusing on evolution, would change the thinking of the world.

It was in 1844 that Karl Marx was working on his manuscripts of the Communist Manifesto, another movement of humanism and of dialectic materialism that would change the world.

In the 1840s, Samuel Morse made the first digital transmission, their Morse Code.

That instant communication method would again be part of a scientific movement that would change the world.

By 1859, Darwin's thoughts had fully developed.

And as they did when he published The Origin of Species, many believers in that theory of evolution sensed that we had come to a pivotal moment in the history of this world.

In fact, 1 wrote this, Darwin's Origin of the Species, published in 1859, remains 1 of history's most influential and talked about scientific papers.

It introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, a theory that became the backbone of modern biology.

On the origin of species changed the way people think about the world and the origin of the world.

The impact of evolutionary thought on science, on philosophy, on psychology and religion is incalculable.

And if you take evolution to its logical conclusion, there is no basis for a moral ethic.

We are simply enlarged protein molecules.

We're simply a random combination of genes and chromosomes.

Where is there a moral ethic if we are simply enlarged protein molecules and a more intelligent form of the animal species?

So evolution really changed not only science, not only philosophy and psychology, but it totally changed the way people think about life.

But at the same time, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels were writing the first drafts of the Communist Manifesto.

Evolution and the Communist Manifesto have something in common, and that is that life revolves around the individual, and that there's no hope for eternity, there's nothing beyond.

The grave becomes a dark hole in the ground.

The end of life becomes a nightmare without a morning.

So when you look at evolution, you look at communism, socialism in its extreme forms, dialectic materialism, they offer only 1 thing and that is self-gratification today because there is nothing beyond tomorrow.

In fact, Karl Marx said this, religion is the opiate of the people.

It's a fanciful myth according to Marx's understanding.

It is something for people that are intellectual ignoramuses, some people that don't have that thinking capacity.

As we look at the 1840s and we see the development of evolution, we see the development of Marxism and with Engels and Marx, and we see the origin of the Communist Manifesto, we have to ask a question, And the question we ask is this, would God leave the world without a witness?

These 2 movements developing simultaneously, evolution and communism, produced an extremely low value on all human life by dismissing the concept of a personal God who's the creator of the universe.

So if you accept communism, if you accept its atheistic view, if you accept evolution and the origin of the species and the survival of the fittest, You dismiss the idea of the supernatural.

You do away with the first 11 chapters of the Bible.

Immediately, you dismiss the Genesis account.

And essentially, life becomes a vain pursuit for pleasure.

God would not allow the world to be without a witness.

And amazingly enough, This message of the 3 angels was developing at the same time of evolution and communism.

He would raise up a divine movement of destiny.

A group of Bible students began to study the Word of God.

They studied the prophecies of Revelation.

And as they did, they sensed in this message of Revelation, the 14th chapter, verses 6 to 12, that God had a special message.

God had a message for this generation that is shaped, that is tailor-made to meet the challenge of evolution, to meet the challenge of atheism, a message for us today.

That message was given to John on the island of Patmos.

John was the last of the living disciples.

You come into its port called Scala, and it was there that John exiled on the island of Patmos, a prisoner for the Lord, sent there by the pagan Roman emperor Domitian because John would not sacrifice to the idols of Rome.

And there on that island, Jesus visited him.

There on that island, John had a vision of the future.
