The Last Days\nPart 2: Pastor Michael Dascoli \n11-8-2020\n\n \u201cThis is what the Sovereign LORD says: \u2018On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, \u201cI will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people\u2014all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.\u201d \n13Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, \u201cHave you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?\u2019\u201d Ezekiel 38:10-13\n\nFour Prophetic Signs on the Last Days Highway\n\nSign #1: In one day, Israel becomes a nation again\nSign #2: Jerusalem reunited under Jewish control\nSign #3: This issue of Jerusalem causes the world to unite against Israel\nSign #4: The land of Israel is divided\n\nSign #1: In one day, Israel became a nation again\n\nIn that day the Lord will reach out His hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of His people from\u202612 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. Isaiah 11:11-12\n\n\u201cBefore she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. 8 Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Isaiah 66:7-8\n\nSign #2: Jerusalem reunited under Jewish control\n\n\u201cWhen you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.\u201d Luke 21:20-24\nSign #3: The issue of Jerusalem causes the world to unite against Israel\n\n\u201cI am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.\u201d Zechariah 12:2-3\n\nA day of the LORD is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.\n2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as He fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with Him\u2026 Zechariah 14:1-5\n\nSign #4: The land of Israel is divided\n\n\u201cIn those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:1\u20132\n\nWhat does it all mean? \n\nIt means, 1: We are the final generation of this age\n\n33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:33\u201334\n\n2: We\u2019re experiencing the birth pangs that will usher in the return of Jesus.\n\nAs Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. \u201cTell us,\u201d they said, \u201cwhen will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?\u201d\n4 Jesus answered: \u201cWatch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, \u2018I am the Messiah,\u2019 and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. Matthew 24:3\u20138\n\n3: It\u2019s time to live for God and stand up for our faith in Jesus! \n\nLet\u2019s Pray:\n\t-What is God\u2019s Spirit saying to you today?\n\t-How must you respond?
