Welcome, A Message To Our Readers:
All praises to the Most High and Jesus Christ, for bringing us
together in the spirit of love, respect, study, and fellowship.
Throughout our journey we have found that there are many liars and
deceivers (false prophets, teachers, and preachers) in the world. This
includes the so-called churches and Israelites groups!
This web site is set up to document our progress in the
understanding of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ found
throughout the Bible. It should be noted that we questioned every doctrine
that we were ever taught. We prayed and reread the Bible, in order
prove what was right, and/or wrong according to the scriptures. For
this web site we are obeying the words of Christ, as written in
Revelation 1:3, and concentrating our studies on
the book of Revelation. We invite you to follow our development, and study
this web site. In so doing, you will find scriptural proof that you
have been deceived.
Lord's will, we will continuously read, study, and update this web
site in accordance with the knowledge received from above.
Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Revelation 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come
in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Shalom,

Objectives:
After reading this report the reader should understand the following;
1. |
That the signs/prophesies in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, concerning the last day, coincide with the prophesies found in the book sealed with Seven Seals (The book of Revelation); |
2. |
That Christ foretold the signs/prophesies that would unfold before his return in the last day; |
3. |
That the generation/people who lived during the time period of Christ and his Disciples, would be brought back to live again in the last day before Christ returns. |
In Matthew 24, Mark 13 and
Luke 21 Christ explains to Peter, James, John
and Andrew, the signs/prophesies
that will occur in the earth before his return.
The aforementioned signs/prophesies coincide with the prophecies
found in the book sealed with seven seals, see
Revelation 5:1-2, 5 and Revelation 6:1. Additionally, he instructs them of the perils that will befall
them during their ministries. He explains that the same
generation, in their time period, will be brought back in the
last day before his return, see
Matthew 24:34. Matthew and Marks’ writings
focus on the end times/last day. However, Luke’s writings
include the time periods of the disciple’s ministry and the last
day.
Please note: This report (Matthew 24,
Mark 13, and Luke 21) will
concentrate on the prophecies concerning Christ’s return/the last day, these prophecies are also written in the
book of Revelation.
