Jesus' end time teaching.

 Shabat shalom!

This was probably Jesus' view of Jerusalem when He sat down on the mount of olives to teach on end times. Instead of a golden dome, He saw the Temple of the Lord.

Jesus' teaching on end times in Mattew 24-25 is the most important end time teaching ever! Why? Because it's directly from Him. So what did He warn against the most? Deception!

Matthew 24:4,5,11,24

[4] Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

[5] For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many. 

[11]many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. 

[24] For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect.

Jesus warns against deception more than anything else! More than He warns about the great tribulation or wars. Jesus warns against deception more than He talks about the days of Noah or love growing cold. This means we should really be diligent in seeking truth so that we will not be deceived. Jesus tells us even more times that we do not know when He is coming but He clearly commands us to see the signs and know the generation. We are that generation, and this should sound alarms in our spirits to make us aware that deception is at an all-time high right now! Deception is when you believe something is true but it's not. That can be about anything. Jesus warns us that the physical survival of humanity is at risk. If the tribulation is longer than 7 years no human flesh would survive! Thats the threat we are facing today. How will the devil manage to kill so many? Through deception! We need to TEST EVERYTHING. PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

We're not in the tribulation yet but we are in the most deceptive time in history and we might be here longer than we expected, that's why we are warned to get the oil of intimacy. Intimacy with Jesus is the only way to endure to the end and be saved. Don't do anything without hearing from God first. Seek truth. The Word of God is truth. Study the Word. He gave so much information about this generation. Know Jesus intimately. He is the way the truth and the life. He is the Word Who became flesh. Through the Holy Spirit and scripture God will show us the way we should go, reveal truth to us and so we will live.

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

John 16:13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
