Amen and Hallelujah! My heart flutters at the thought of the birth pangs quickening and accelerating rapidly toward labor. I praise and thank the Lord for tarrying in His return, for His mercy toward us that more might be saved, but my heart yearns to be with Him!!
I pray for the salvation of the lost in my family and in every nation and land. I pray for boldness in my life and for His light to shine through me to reach those who are lost and hurting. But mostly, I pray, Maranatha, come quickly Lord Jesus.

3) Fall of AntiChrist. ( Revelation 19:19-20 )
4) Devil (aka Satan) cast into bottomless pit for 1000 years so that he may not deceive the nations anymore. ( Revelation 19:19-20 )

11) New Jerusalem as a Holy City is formed for God and His children to dwell in peace and happiness forever and ever. ( Revelation 21:10 )
We need to be spiritually and mentally prepared for the above expected events. We need to pray, be rooted and grounded in the Word of God, have a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and be watchful always. During all the above events true Christians are bound to be persecuted for their faith. We are given a hope that during these times “Not even a hair on our head shall perish” ( Luke 21:18 ). We are urged to exercise a lot of patience ( Luke 21:19 ). Some others may have to become martyrs. Let us be bold for whether we live, it is for Christ and whether we die, it is for Christ. ( Philippians 1:21 )
May the Lord our God grant us unwavering faith, wisdom, discernment, endurance and courage to live as Witnesses and Overcomers for Him until the end. Amen.
