Know the End from the Beginning
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
Knowing the end from the beginning means knowing the signs:
1. Ravenous wolves will seek to lead you astray. They are false prophets with lying signs and wonders. You recognize them by:
a. they have different sources (other than the Bible)
b. teach and elevate themselves and others besides Christ (Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.)
c. counterfeit actions covered in greed (asking for money for ‘oil’ that promises blessings)
d. they bear different fruit
2. Wars and rumours of wars will cause fear to be rampant (Mat 24:6); pray for leaders and peace in Jerusalem (Ps 122:6).
3. Nation rise against nation; kingdom against kingdom
4. Famine and earthquakes
5. Many will pay ultimate sacrifice (martyrs) Rev 12:11, Mat 24:22
6. Gospel must be preached in all corners of the globe. Those who endure to the end shall be saved. Mat 24:13
