😇 Introducing the Sermon Topic

The pastor introduces the sermon topic, which is about end times events, Russia, and Israel. He notes that everything discussed links back to Israel and Satan's hatred of Israel. The goal is to talk about end times events to prepare people, not scare them.

05:00

📖 Providing Background on Russia in the Bible

The pastor provides background on Russia's mention in the Bible under the names Magog and Gog. He explains that Magog refers to Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus and that prophecies state they will unite against Israel. Putin has argued for reunification of Russia and Ukraine due to shared heritage.

10:03

😲 Recent Events Confirm Russia's Rising Power

Though Russia lost superpower status after the Cold War, recent events like the Ukraine invasion show Russia is gaining strength and could fulfill Ezekiel's prophecy. Russia continues allying with Muslim nations that oppose Israel.

15:08

🤝 Russia Leading a 10 Nation Confederacy

A hugely significant but overlooked development occurred with 10 nations - the BRICS plus Egypt, Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Argentina - forming an economic coalition more powerful than the EU or US. This fulfills prophecies in Revelations and Daniel.

20:10

🌎 IMF Reveals New Global Currency

The IMF unveiled a new global digital currency called the Universal Monetary Unit (UNICORN) to replace the USD as the global currency. This currency will enable tracking of purchases and restrict financial liberties. Only Russia has admitted to being involved.

25:10

💸 Cash Payments Being Phased Out

To enable tracking and control, the EU plans to restrict cash transactions above 7000 EUR by 2025. This will force adoption of digital payments and buying/selling will be contingent on not being financially blacklisted.

30:13

😵 Russia Leading Interfaith Interreligion Movement

In a shocking development, Russia is investing millions to build a headquarters for interreligious dialogue and unity. This center will include various religious buildings including a temple. Russia has also cut ties with all other Orthodox churches.

35:13

⏳ We Are in the Last Days Before the Rapture

In light of all these developments - formation of 10 king coalition, new global digital currency, restrictions on cash, Russia's interreligious agenda - the stage is clearly being set for the Antichrist. The next event is the rapture when Jesus returns for his church.

40:14

✈️ Key Facts About the Rapture

The pastor highlights key facts about the rapture: Jesus will descend with a loud command, dead Christians will be resurrected, living will be transformed, it will happen instantly, we'll reunite with Christ and loved ones, all pain/stress/persecution will end, the church is spared from God's wrath poured out after rapture.

45:15

😃 Jesus Can Come At Any Time

Considering how so many end times signs are already unfolding, Jesus could come at any moment in the rapture to take believers to heaven before the 7 year tribulation under the Antichrist's reign. We must be ready!

50:17

💒 Call to Commit to Christ

In closing, the pastor appeals to anyone unsure of their salvation to commit to following Jesus Christ. An invitation is given to come forward and pray a prayer surrendering to God for assurance of salvation. Rapture readiness requires being born twice through faith.

Keywords

💡rapture

The rapture refers to the event described in the Bible where Jesus will return to take believers up into the clouds to meet him, removing them from the coming wrath of God on earth. It is discussed extensively in the video as the next major event on God's prophetic calendar, with details provided about what will happen and who will experience the rapture.

💡Russia

Russia is identified biblically as the land of "Magog" that will lead a military alliance to attack Israel in the end times. The video analyzes current events involving Russia to show how prophecies related to Magog could soon be fulfilled.

💡Israel

Israel plays a central role in end times prophecy, often as the target of hostility and attack. The video emphasizes that world events really center around hostility toward Israel, especially from Russia, which wants to remove the U.S. as its protector.

💡antichrist

The antichrist is an evil figure that will gain control of the world after the rapture of the church. His rise and dictatorship are discussed as major end time events that believers will escape via the rapture.

💡tribulation

The tribulation refers to a 7 year period after the rapture where the antichrist dominates and God pours out judgment on the earth. The video depicts it as a time believers will view from heaven after being removed by the rapture.

💡false religion

False religion and interfaith movements will facilitate the antichrist's power. The video notes Russia's push toward interreligious centers as evidence this global, unifying apostasy is accelerating.

💡mark of the beast

The mark of the beast is the name/number identification system the antichrist will implement for buying and selling. The video warns this mark could soon be tied to digital payments and currency being developed to displace the U.S. dollar.

💡persecution

Increased persecution of Christians is noted as one end time sign already unfolding globally. The video contrasts this with the eternal peace believers will enjoy in heaven after the rapture.

💡prophecy

Prophecy refers to biblical predictions of future events. Analysis of prophetic passages provides the framework for the video's discussion of end times and the rapture.

💡apostasy

Apostasy refers to abandonment of true faith, evident in false religions and acquiescence to the antichrist. Russia's interfaith agenda illustrates the accelerating spiritual apostasy characteristic of the end times.

Highlights

The Bible talks about Gog and Magog four times - Genesis, 1 Chronicles, Ezekiel, and Revelation.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (White Russia) make up the area the Bible refers to as Magog.

Last year, 10 economic "kings" aligned that now have more power than the EU or US - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates.

A new global digital currency called the "Universal Monetary Unit" or "Unicorn" was unveiled to replace national currencies and reduce the dominance of the US dollar.

Europe is phasing out cash payments starting in 2025, with restrictions down to 7,000 euros for cash and 10,000 for crypto, moving towards a controlled digital system.

Russia has become the center of an inter-religious alliance, spending 100 million on a center in Moscow representing 17 religions, all except Christianity.

The next major event on God's agenda is the rapture, when Jesus comes to take believers away before the tribulation period.

The rapture will happen fast, "in the twinkling of an eye", and we'll be given glorified, resurrected bodies.

The unfaithful church will be left behind when Jesus returns for his faithful bride, the church.

After the rapture comes the 7 year tribulation under the Antichrist's rule. The last 3.5 years will be the worst time ever on earth.

God told us these end times events not to scare us but to prepare us, so we can have confidence in his plan.

To make sure your bags are packed for the rapture, simply say "Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again so I can have eternal life with you."

If you see someone sitting alone in church, go sit with them - there are so many people who come but don't know anybody.

If the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, come forward so we can pray together to make sure your heart is right with God.

It's not the words of a salvation prayer that matter, it's the attitude of your heart towards God.
