What Will The End Times Actually Look Like?

And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. Matthew 24:14

And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams. Acts 2:17

 

The first thing that most people think about when it comes to the end times is war, sickness, diseases, death, and destruction. But our Father has told us something different, He has told us that the Gospel of our Kingdom will be preached everywhere and that He will pour His Spirit out on mankind as He never has before.

 

And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not get alarmed (troubled and frightened); it is necessary [that these things] take place, but the end is not yet. Mark 13:7

 

There is only one sign that it is the end and that sign is the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached as it never has before. So that begs the question: what exactly is the Gospel of the Kingdom?

 

And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. Matthew 9:35

 

And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], 1 Corinthians 2:4

 

Many of us believe that the Gospel of the Kingdom is going and telling people about Jesus, but the Gospel of the Kingdom is not that. We absolutely will tell people about Jesus, but the Gospel of the Kingdom is the Holy Spirit using us to serve the world. We will be used just as Jesus was used to serve people. Now think about the people Jesus served by healing them, raising them from the dead, feeding them, and miraculously creating wine so that their party could continue. They did not believe in Who He was and that did not stop Him from serving them, this is the Gospel of the Kingdom.

 

So the end times will be filled with miraculous works and demonstration of our Father’s Spirit. His power will be flowing through the whole world and through all people, even people who do not deserve it, will be benefiting from it.

 

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. John 14:12
