Apostle Paul encouraged the saints who were persecuted in Rome saying, “Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Romans 13:11). Encouraged them.
Unlike the religious people at the end time, they were waiting only for the Lord. They were able to endure all their hardships through waiting only for the day of Christ, the Rapture, as revealed through Apostle Paul. In addition, when the Lord is returning to the earth, there was nothing but the desire to wear the crown of righteousness and to reign with Christ in the kingdom of Christ. Also, at this time, small group of North Korean underground church members who are suffering under communist dictatorship, and the Chinese underground church members, and those who are suffering in the Islamic world are living in the same hope.
Apostle Paul, when speaking to the persecuted Saints at that time, compared the present world as the night after Jews crucified Jesus Christ, the Sun of righteousness, having him set to the west. But the enemy devil has used the Roman Catholic that is the Whore Church to set the first day of the week as Sunday to worship the sun in the sky so that the world may serve the devil himself. In ancient times when Japan ruled Korea, even Korean churches were deceived by them and stood up and worshiped the sun at twelve o’clock during the Sunday service. The red sun on the Japanese flag tells the world that they are the nation of devil. They are under God’s judgment.
Night time is divided into four; 6-9 o’clock, 10-12 o’clock, 1-3 o’clock, and 4-6 o’clock. The time that Jesus walked toward the disciples at night on the sea was fourth night, which implies that the Lord would appear to the world at the end as the night.
That’s right! Now we are to put on the armor of the armor of Light that is the word of God, which is spirit and life, by putting off the works of darkness walking in the Word of light. At this time, we have to walk honestly as in the day, and to be separated from the life following the lusts.
Jesus also said very concretely that it would be a time for the beginning of sorrows regarding what will happen when this time is near:
We cannot deny that what the Lord said is what is happening in this age. In particular, the Corona Virus, which is now giving threat even to LA Korea town at the front of our noses no more safety for us. But the Lord said it is not the end yet with these things. When the Lord said it is not the end, He meant the end of the world. The “end of the world” is the day the world ruler Devil is taken away from the world. Sooner or later, the rapture takes place and the whole world is to face with the seven years of great tribulation. Seven years later, when the door of heaven is to be opened, Jesus will appear down to the earth with the saints raptured to throw the antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire to judge them, and to seize the devil and throw him into an bottomless pit. He will also judge by fire all the nations that not believed in Him. After that, he establishes his millennial kingdom on the earth. This is the end of the world.
The Apostle Paul testified of this to the Saints in Thessalonica
In addition, he witnessed in detail the scene of His judgments of the nations, the war of Armageddon and the judgments of the Antichrist and false prophets:
Finally, Apostle John also saw and witnessed the wonderful scene of judging the world ruler Devil to end the world that he had ruled for six thousand years:
Finally, God is going to end the present world that the devil has been ruling illegally by force bringing sin, death, and curse to the world. After that, God will take the earth over again that he created to establish the kingdom of Christ resting himself. And he will let people born on the earth as the time of King Solomon as the number of the sands of the sea for a thousand years. But at the end of a thousand years he will release the devils to the earth for a short time and let them finally to be tempted by the devil again/ But they shall not keep their faith unto the end, and they shall eventually burnt by the fire from heaven. God always endures to the end and gives people opportunities to be saved. Therefore, God also is giving all nations living in last days the opportunity to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is giving them the opportunity to repent even during the Great Tribulation, but only a few shall be saved as if picking up the grains after the harvest. Therefore, today is the day of grace and the day of salvation.
