Jesus said two of the signs of His second coming would be; “Nation would rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” Comment: So what is the difference between a nation and a kingdom? When you look the Greek words up it becomes clear! The word nation means the non-Jewish nations warring against each other! The word kingdom is very different! It means a dominion or realm of people living in a territory under political leadership. So this would describe an internal fight between a peoples within a nation. It would describe a civil war! Like Syria or American civil war over slavery. Is America heading for another civil war? We hope and pray not but the good news is that Jesus predictions of His second coming is really about the bad news bring the good news! Look up for your redemption draweth nigh!

Job Knew! Do You? Job 19:25
“For i know the redeemer of my kinsman is living and He shall stand at the last day on earth.” A redeemer is one who will pay a ransom to free you from death! A day is coming when God will vindicate Himself of all of life’s suffering! Not only was His promise fulfilled in Job in the restoration of all that he had lost but has given us all the same promise for the present and the future for those that put their trust in Him! Jesus birth, death and resurrection and His second coming is fulfilling this Old Testament Prophecy made through Job about 3800 years ago! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Signs of Jesus Second Coming! Matthew 24:9-10
Verse 9 “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and kill you and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” A report yesterday said 90 thousand Christian’s were killed in 2016! These numbers are beginning to equal or exceed the early church persecutions! Is Jesus screening out the fakes before His return? That is those still standing? In the next verse 10 as a consequence many shall leave the Faith! Today in America i can skip Sunday services and cheat on my tithes and no one will know except God! However if i have to choose Christ or my life this is a very different test! Most will serve Christ if the benefits are good such as an income tax deduction and a favorable view from friends and family. What Jesus said would come before His second coming is here and also coming to America! We need to make up our minds today what we would do when this comes so we can be prepared! Like today you will either confess or deny Jesus! If we practice today to confess Him then it will be much harder to deny Him in the future! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Jesus Second Coming! Matthew 24:36
Be careful about naming dates! I want to list the dates in our church history that were set by some respected people in the Body of Christ! I will list the dates and some names behind these dates you may recognize? Here are the A.D. dates: 500, 793, 1000, 1260, 1370, 1504, 1524, 1526, 1533, 1673, 1694, 1700, 1757, 1795, 1814, 1829, 1836 (John Wesley), 1840, 1844, 1847, 1861, 1863, 1864, 1874, 1901, 1914 (Jehovah Witnesses, 1915, 1917-1930, 1935, 1930-1939, 1943, 1972, 1975 (Herbert Armstrong), 1982 (Benjamin Creme), 1988 (Edgar Whisenant, Harold Camp), 1994-2009 (Jerry Falwell), 2000 (Ed Dobson, Timothy Dwight IV, Edgar Cayce, Isaac Newton, James Harnuston), 2011 (Harold Camping, Ronald Weinland), 2012 (Jack Van Impe), 2015 (Mark Blitz), We would all like Jesus to return during our lifetime! Do not let desire get the best of you! We have to stay with the scriptures for a balanced Faith! At one time the Apostle Peter with emotion cut a guy’s ear off! Passion is important but must be balanced with the Word of God! To know the scriptures is our best offence and defense! The scriptures declare Jesus is coming back again but the date even He does not know but in the Father’s plan! We cannot be greater than God! Jesus did give us some signs of his second coming! We will look at these in our Blog posts for 2017. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Lawless One! 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Have you noticed over the past 8 years that lawlessness has increased in America? If have not then your head is stuck in the sand somewhere? Remember Obama proclaimed America is not a Christian nation? What does all this mean? Just as the wise men were looking for Christ’s first coming so we as wise men are looking for His second coming! One of the signs of Christ’s return according to Paul is the promotion of lawlessness! I want to translate this verse three from the Greek back to the English. “Do not be moved out from the (truth) and be cheated! The day shall come towards you when defection from the (truth) and wicked men who error from the (truth) who is also an illegitimate son in whose destruction shall come through corruption.” Did you notice the word truth appearing throughout this verse? What or who is the truth? Jesus Christ is the truth! So as in America or any other culture when truth or Jesus Christ is suppressed then lawlessness increases! In fact they are inversely proportional to each other! As one decreases the other increases! As one increases the other decreases! The bad news brings the good news! So the signs of Christ’s second coming presented to us by our Bible are all around us! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
A King In Zion ! Zechariah 9:9-17
Zechariah predicts a coming King of Zion, the Messiah! It begins with the scene of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Remember Zachariah made this prediction 520 years before it happened! Remember there is no evolution with God! God does not get better with time! He made time and all history revolves around His plans for the redemption of man. His plans are revealed through His Word The Holy Bible. Jesus entry into Jerusalem and the people’s rejection of Him marks the end of Daniel’s 69th week. Briefly Daniel’s 70 weeks is a period of 490 years. This period of time began when Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem with the Jews from Babylon after 70 years of captivity. We have a gap of over 1900 years between the 69th and 70th week which is the Church Age. The 70th week will begin with the Rapture of His Church and the 7 year tribulation period and consummated by Christ’s second coming to earth. Zechariah’s prophecy then continues with a discussion of God’s dealing with Israel in the 70th week of Daniel. During the tribulation period Israel will no longer rely on military power but on the Prince of Peace who will exercise worldwide dominion over the entire earth. Conclusion; God stopped the clock so that during the Church Age gentiles would have the opportunity to accept Christ as Savior. This window will not remain open long for long! Why you still have time do not reject Christ but accept Him so you can spend the remainder of your life here and all eternity with Christ and a peace that this world can never deliver to you! When you look back your entire life will boil down to either accept Him or reject Him! Your life here and hereafter spent in Heaven or Hell rests with your choice! Be wise! Thankyou.
