The Sign of Jonah (55 min)

The story of Jonah, who is a picture of the end time church, is essential to understand. If we want to see the storms calm where we live, we have to jump out of the boat...not try to save our lives, but be willing to lose them:
 
Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus said to His disciples,"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
 
This is connected to "coming out" of the culture we are immersed in:
 
Revelation 18:2-5 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
 
This is the end time Sign of Jonah:
 
Luke 11:29-33 And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign,and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. 33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
 
Jesus didn't want the son of Jonah to claim to be readyto die...He wanted Him to feed His sheep the truth:
 
John 21:15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

Practical Realities of the Great Tribulation: Part 1 (48 mins)

For the next weeks, I amgoing to be teaching into the Great Tribulation...why it happens, what it is,what it will accomplish, and how we can practically prepare for it.
 
I believe the GreatTribulation will begin unfolding in about a year.  The leaders of theearth are making preposterous claims that are literally counterfeit realitiesof what Jesus will bring in his return.  These claims must beanswered...and when they are, great trouble will erupt.  False peace WILLfail, false promises of health WILL fail, false promises to renew the earth inclimate change WILL fail, false promises to make everyone prosperous WILLfail...these will all fail simultaneously.  It is simple to get ready, butit takes time.  Make peace with God now, while there is time...
 
Ecclesiastes 12:6-8 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the goldenbowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken atthe well.  7  Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, Andthe spirit will return to God who gave it.  8  "Vanity ofvanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."
