Questions About the End Times


Sunday, January 13, 2012
Led by Eric Gintert


Question #1

Can prayer change or delay the outcome of the events foretold in the book of Revelation?

Answer

Matthew 24:3, 22
God will shorten the days for the sake of the elect, His people.

2 Peter 3:1-13
God doesn't take pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11). The end will come as a thief in the night, when you least expect it.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
We can't change it, but we can prepare ourselves for it. He will not delay it, but will come in His good and acceptable timing.

Question #2

If God says that we shouldn't add to or take away from His word (Deut 4:2 & Rev 22:18-19), why are pastors and churches marrying homosexual couples?

Answer

2 Kings 22-23
In this example, the Word of God was left hidden and dusty in the "church" building. The very place where it should have been studied and practices was where it was lost.
The bottom line is, churches are not repenting, and doing what they ought to be doing. They cover up the sin with "God is Love" but they do not understand what love is!
Luke 17:20-30
Jesus is suffering and being rejected of this generation.
Jesus prophesied that sexual immorality would be prevalent in the end as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.

2 Timothy 4:1-4
In the end times, there are those who will not endure sound doctrine but will error because of their own lusts.

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13
In the end times there will be wickedness abound: unholy, without natural affection, etc.
They have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. They are deceiving and being deceived!

Revelation 13:7
The saints are being overcome by the devil, they are giving up!

Daniel 7:25
Satan will speak great words against God (blaspheme) and wear out the saints, changing times and laws.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
In the end times, there will first come a falling away. This falling away could very well be the saints who have been overcome or worn out by the devil.


Read the book of Jude to read more about the end times and how we must prepare for His return.

Don't Be Naked! - Loins Girt with Truth

The Whole Armor of God This Week: Loins Girt with Truth Click image to enlarge. Sunday, October 14, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us. What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for? The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen. John 8:31-32 The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word. John 14:6 Jesus is the  way, the  truth, and the  life. He is NOT a  way, a  truth, or a  life. Hebrews 13:8-9 The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word.  How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not ca...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus: Darkness

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus This Week: Darkness Sunday, November 4, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Who is Jesus to You? Savior? What does that mean? Savior from what? Lord? What does that mean? What does it mean to be Lord? We need to be lightened! Psalm 34:1-5 "They" (in verse 5) are the humble who want to exalt the name of the Lord. "Him" is the Lord. They looked unto the Lord and they were lightened and not ashamed. On judgment day, some will look on Him and be ashamed but others will be able to stand before Him completely unashamed and justified. Are we asking and seeking to be lightened by Him in all issues: politics, relationships, etc? Darkness came before Light... Genesis 1:1-2 Before there was light, there was darkness. Before we can know and understand the great mercy and grace that the Lord has given us, we must first understand all the filth, guile, wickedness, and sin that we have taken part in. We must understa...

Cleansing the Leper

Sunday, January 8, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert Matthew 8:1-4 (also in Mark 1:40-44 and Luke 5:12-14)  -  Why did Jesus, being the way, the truth, and the life, tell the cleansed leper to go back to the priest according to the law in which Jesus was here to fulfill? Leviticus 13:1-8, 32-34, 43-46  -  According to the law, when a man had leprosy he had to go before the priest who would check on him every seven days to see whether he was clean or unclean according to the signs of the disease. Leviticus 14:1-11  -  If the priest found the man was clean from his leprosy, a sacrifice was to be made. A bird was to be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.  Jesus wanted the man to show the priest what He had done for the leper. The priest was supposed to come the the leper and pronounce him clean but instead the man went to the priest to show that he was clean, not only physically but also spiritually. Jesus was the earthen vessel... G...
