Scriptural Checklist

      When God called Jeff to teach about the end-times with a message of comfort, hope, and victory, Jeff knew God would lead him every step of the way through all the confusion on the topic because we know that God is not the author of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33).  Jeff told God that he needed to see it for himself in several clear scriptural passages, as the standard of truth given in the Word. One of the earliest points He taught Jeff was that we have the same information and awareness as a pregnant woman concerning the birth of her child. That is, the Chronos time period, such as the typical 9-month pregnancy, and the Kairos, the corresponding signs that signal not only the pregnancy but the coming birth.
          God pointed to the “one thing” we need to know concerning the Chronos of God’s plan of redemption. “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8). All the false date-setting that the Church has endured over the years happened because we didn’t recognize the chronos aspect concerning the great prophetic week of God’s seven 1,000-year great Days and the kairos aspect of the corresponding signs. This is what brought part of the confusion. We need both the correct timing and the correct signs, both of which must come from God’s Word and not mankind’s speculations.
            We are the only generation that can say that God’s sixth Day or 6,000 years in our time are nearly spent. Which means we must now turn our attention to the corresponding signs. We are the only generation who can say for sure if the final signs listed in Scripture are seen or not. We know from 1 Cor. 15:52 that He is coming on the Feast of Trumpets. The question then becomes have we seen the necessary signs for this Feast of Trumpets to be the time of His coming? So what are the signs that we must see before Jesus comes at the end of this current Messianic or Church Age in the rapture?
            _____  The Jewish Temple rebuilt
            _____  The daily sacrifices resumed
            _____  The three “Horns” plucked up by the roots and replaced                             according to Daniel 7
            _____  The invasion of the Little Horn (the Antichrist) and his                                 coalition of 10 kings
            _____  The man of sin (the Antichrist) revealed in the Temple
            _____  The final sign of darkness in the sun, moon, and stars                                 that Jesus taught would be seen before He comes again
           This is really what we need in order to see that Day approaching (Heb. 10:25). Knowing both the Chronos timing and the corresponding Kairos signs gives us foolproof knowledge based on God’s Word and not mankind’s speculations, no matter how scholarly or influential the source. We simply stand secure in what is revealed in His Word for that gloriously Day.
