NOW ARRIVING
ARE TIMES OF THE SIGNS
LOOKING AT THE CURRENT GLOBAL AND BIBLICAL EVENTS
AND HOW THEY MIGHT APPLY TO OUR LIVES AND OUR FAITH.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Test all things; Hold fast what is Good.
Media Reference JH556 Wednesday, February 15, 2023
THE TITLE OF THE MESSAGE:
“Now Arriving”
In light of the current global issues and tensions that are before us,
what does the scripture say about these things and the days in which we live
SUBJECT TOPICALLY REFERENCED UNDER:
Prophecy, End Times, Last Days, Readiness, Wrath.
Our Title is referring to something current and very timely!
This “Now Arriving” could very well describe what the
world is seeing right now.
On a Global Scale the world is seeing:
(1) trends (2) actions (3) manifestations (4) political activity (5) religious apathy
(6) spirituality (7) environmental issues (8) natural disasters (9) and the ever-present
specter of war.
John 14:29
“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.
A night of Informed Encouragement
Matthew 24:1-4
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him
the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things?
Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.” 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying,
“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of
the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them:
“Take heed that no one deceives you.
2
Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes
upon the sons of disobedience.
Jeremiah 29:8
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners
who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
Colossians 2:8
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition
of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes
first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
1 John 3:7
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He
is righteous.
There are Fundamental Foundational Facts
that are outlined in the scriptures that must be obeyed when
studying the Bible.
Acts 1:4-11
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for
John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days
from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You
at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know
times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 Now when He had spoken these
things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by
them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into
heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner
as you saw Him go into heaven.”

1) The Missionary Call of the Church (the great commission)
2) The Church’s Response to The Call (the last 2,000 years)
3) The Final Hours of Church History (the events of our day)
All current events must to be viewed in-light of the #1 most important biblical
prophecy in the Bible regarding the Last Days – if you miss this one, you’ll miss
them all. It is the re-existence or the re-birth of the Nation of Israel.
Today – The Modern State of Israel
Is the single most important “Time Stamp” regarding the future.
Now Arriving
1.) Israel’s re-birth and existence at The End of Days
For the first time in world history Israel as a nation is back in her land while at
the same time the church is yet still on earth – both together.
This could not have been said prior to May 14
th, 1948.
Isaiah 66:8
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth
in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to
her children. Iranian Leaders Call for the Destruction of Israel

Now Arriving
2.) The rise of international tensions among the nations
I want all of your attention for this next observation.
A week and a half ago there was quite a stir regarding the Chinese balloon that
floated across the entire North American continent and once it was out to Sea,
off the Carolinas, was shot down.
What do we know for sure? China issued a statement of clarification
stating that it was a weather balloon gone off course. We know that our
government said it posed no threat whatsoever to our national security.
4
We now know that it was a balloon rigged with high-tech capabilities of
intelligence gathering, mapping and reconnaissance.
Subsequently, we know that there have been numerous sightings of other
devices that also have been shot down.
Over the course of this past week – talk of balloons and spying and finger -
pointing has been epic - - - BUT LOOK HOW FAST THE U.F.O. VERBAGE

3.) The increasing openness to the UFO factor
Why are we seeing so many UFOs over America all of a sudden?

https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20210527-no-longer-confined-to-the-fringe-ufo-theories-move-into-themainstream
The Media Jumped to a Conclusion;
The Demonic Nature of the Conversation went to UFO quickly. But I
believe that someday the ultimate reality of Demonic Deception in the
Skies will be an excuse for maybe even the Rapture.

4.) Debilitating emotional and mental stress
Perplexity and hopelessness due to frustration and fear.
During the Tribulation Period…
Luke 21:20-26
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her
depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the days of
vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are
pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in
the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led
away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the
Gentiles are fulfilled. 25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and
on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s
hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the
earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

5.) Interpersonal divisions between one another
6
The Destabilization of the Divine Pattern (family)
Hatred and betrayal will mark the End Times with
The dissolving child parent relationship.
Matthew 10:21
“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up
against parents and cause them to be put to death.
Now Arriving
6.) Unhinged lawlessness and violence
It’s one thing for a thug to rob you or assault you,
it’s another thing when your own government, its judges & Law Makers,
unite to do evil.
Isaiah 10:1
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees.
Matthew 24:12
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
This “lawlessness” means deeds done against
the Righteousness of God or God’s right-order
Now Arriving
7.) A systematic assault against the nature of God
Gender-Fluidity, Male and Female, It
Genesis 1:24-28
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and
creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God
made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything
that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God
said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
7
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in
the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed
them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have
dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that
moves on the earth.”
Matthew 24:4-5
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will
come in My name, saying, “I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed
to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own
conscience seared with a hot iron,
2 Timothy 4:1-5
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the
dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of
season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they
have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears
away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Now Arriving
8.) The increase of cultural / moral depravity
Romans 1:18-28
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of
men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is
manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew
God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts,
and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and
changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and
birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who
exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than
8
the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile
passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one
another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty
of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

9.) A remnant of true believers in the End
A scarcity of true Christ-centered followers
Revelation 3:7-11
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, “These things says He who is holy, He
who is true, ‘He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no
one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can
shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9
Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie
- indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved
you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour
of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11
Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

10.) Knowing that today could be The Day that Jesus appears
All of these world events are announcing the most
documented time in all of human history – it’s so very close.
In the Olivet Discourse Jesus Informed All
Luke 21:28
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your
redemption draws near.”
9
But for Us – Today, Jesus’ Appearing for His Church is
even Closer.
1 Thessalonians 1:10
For we wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers
us from the wrath to come.
The true follower of Jesus Christ in these days feels more like a
weary traveler that has been away from home for too long, and cannot
wait to get back home to all of the comforts and the familiarities
of what is called “home”
Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait
for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2,4
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to
you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the
night., 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
John 14:1-3
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house
are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where
I am, there you may be also.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest
you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the
word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no
means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will
rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
10
1 Corinthians 15:49-53
And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly Man. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed - 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.
Titus 2:13
Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
