I am posting this message early due to having another funeral Saturday. This Message is a portion of Daniels account of the end times in Dan. Chot 12 verses 1 through 10 and Jesus account in Matt. Chpt 24 vs-1-24.

For years, many have said "The end is coming". Recently, I believe a fellow named Harold Camp said the world was going to end on May 21, 2010. It didn't happen and by the way, I believe his pledge line for money was still open the day before on May 20, so, if he really believed that, why would he need any more money? Just a thought.

In Sept. of 1994, this same gentleman, made the same prediction. Now, he has another day that he says it will happen. Truth is, if he lives long enough, and if fortunate enough to pick the exact day, he will be right but, God's word says that not even the Angels in Heaven know the day, only God does.

Another modern man theology statement is that the world will end at the close of the Mayan Indian calendar, which ruins out on 12-21-2012.

I am not here to mock this predictors of the end times. I know when the end time will be. That time will be when God says it is time and, not before!!!!!!!!

I would like to share with you some things to watch for as indicators about these "End Times"

I. It will be a Busy Time for People: Daniel 12 vs-4

A. People will be running to and fro like a kicked over ant hill.
Did you know that between 8 and 10 million people are traveling somewhere, everyday!!!!!!!
Everyone is on the move.
Back years ago, car dealers had an average annual mileage chart that they measured car usuage by,
1. It started out at about 5000 miles a year.
2. It then changed to about 10,000 miles a year.
3. Then, it changed again to about 12,000 miles a year.
4. Now, it is about 15,000 miles a year.

We are traveling more now, than ever before in the history of the world.
a Interstate Highways.
b. 2 lane highways
c. country roads.
d. airlines.
e. tour buses
f. High speed rail systems
Rewards for frequent flyers had been skyrocketing, our time between cities, towns, countries is getting faster and more often now than ever before.

Many are too busy traveling somewhere but, do not take time, to make time, for God.

II. It will briliant time for mankind: Daniel Chpt 12: vs-4

"knowledge will be increased"!!!!!
a. scientific knowledge
b. medical knowledge
c. technical knowledge

Did you ever dream of computers, what they would be, what they could do and how and where they would be utilized in society?

1. measurement
2. design
3. storace of information
4. farm equipment.
a. Have you climbed up inside the cab of a new combine lately? If you haven't do it sometime. It is like look-
at Gemini control. All the screens to watch, all the digital gauges, and computer controls.

5. Automobiles--"park assist". The computer parks the car for you by sensors of what is in front and behind you.
6. Air Planes-- these are computer controlled and the pilate is there as a human monitor of the flight systems
and basically, the computers control take-off, engine speed, and landing. Man is there to just overide the
computers in case of a malfunction or some other "out of norm" situation.

7. Animan chips----scariest of all. We are in the process of micro-chipping human beings now. They place the
chip in the wrist/hand area and in some cases the forehead. Does that sound like anything Biblical to you?
If it doesn't, read Rev. 14. vs-9-11. Are we headed there. Absolutely!!!!!!

Computers effect all areas of our life in this "modern world" we live in.
THEY ARE A PART OF PROPHECY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every field of live is conputer enhanced. Think not?
1. hospitals. 5. farm equipment
2. automobile industry 6. telephones
3. motorcycles 7. Airplanes
4. lawn mowers 8. military weapons

Just to name a few.

II. It will be a frustrating and a Stressful time: Matt. 24 vs 6-8 (Jesus speaking)

A. Wars will increase
B. Famines will increase
C. Pestilences will increase
D. Earthquakes will increase

I will comment briefly on each of these. We have had many wars since we became Americans.
1 Revolutionary war. 1775-1782
2. War of 1812----------1812-1814
3. Mexican American war--1846-1848
4. Civil War.--1861-1865
5 WW1--1914-1918
6. WW2--1941-1945
7. Korean war 1950-1953
8. Vietnam War 1961-1973 ( it started with French in 1955)
9. Desert Storm--1991------?
10. Iraq Freedom--2001------ongoing
11, Afghanistan-2003---------ongoing.

Now there are wars going on in Pakistan, Lybia, Egypt, and many other nations throughout the world. Have you ever seen so many different wars going on at the same time, in so many areas of the world before????

III. It will be a time of Mankinds Blindness: Daniel Chpt 12: vs-10

"None of the wicked shall understand"

1. Education does not promote moral living. As a matter of fact, most of our higher areas of Education, have teachers, professors who do not believe in God, Jesus, Judgment, Heaven or Hell. In many cases, these areas of "Higher Education erode moral standards of living, rather than promoting them.

A. Many a fine young Christian men and women have entered these areas of "higher learning" and they have been turned away from Biblical teachings and the morals of Godly living as stated in the Scriptures.

It all boils down to this, and I really don't care if it is politically correct or not but, IF GOD SAYS IT IS WRONG
IT IS WRONG AND, I DON'T CARE WHAT SOCIETY OR HOLLYWOOD SAYS ABOUT IT.

Paul says in his writings to Timothy in 2 Tim. 3; 1-7 that mankind will be ever learning but NEVER coming to the knowledge of the truth." Read 2 Tim 4: vs-1-4.

This world and this "educated society can look down on old fashion preachers like me, I don't mind. We have a lot of educated "cemetery students" in pulpits preaching today, that are more "moonna called" and "daddy sent:" than they are "chosen of God, to preach His word, truthfully, consistantly and boldly.

If the laws of society and their agenda, does not fit biblical standards for living, they are wrong!!!!!!

The world may Deny Him
The world may mock Him
The world may try to remove Him from society, off their money, buildings and off their court house walls but, He was, He is, and He always will be.

God is not Dead as some of these "higher living socialites promoted in the 70's and, here is how I know.
1. Who identified the deceased?
2, Who signed the death certificate?
3, Who claimed the remains?
4, Where was His obituary published?
5. Who presided over the funeral Service?
6. What cemetery was He buried in?
7. Why was I not notified, because I am a member of the Family?

I, am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. His is still the Great, I AM.

The end IS coming someday, for you, for me, and yes, for the whole world.

Are you ready, when that time comes?

May God use this message for those it is intended to Bless.

Have a great weekend.
