00:35the word of god reveals that there is an event coming sudden glorious and unannounced when christ will call his church to himself this is the rapture and while the world mocks and many in the church have grown silent the signs are unfolding now with unmistakable clarity
00:53we are nearer to his return than we've ever been this is not speculation this is not hysteria this is truth it's unfolding in real time and the clock of divine prophecy is ticking god's word is not silent about the times in which we live

01:20keynote i the imminence of christ's return it was a quiet night in jerusalem nearly two thousand years ago when a group of disciples stood with the risen christ on the mount of olives
01:34just moments before he ascended into heaven he gave them a promise that has echoed through every generation since if i go and prepare a place for you i will come again and will take you to myself john
01:48this promise wasn't vague it wasn't poetic it was literal it was certain and it was imminent the early church lived in light of that imminent return paul wrote to the thessalonians urging them to comfort one another with the hope of christ's return one this
02:05four thirteen dash eighteen he didn't say if christ comes he said when and the tone of his letters reveals he believed it could happen in his lifetime that's the essence of imminence no prophecy must be fulfilled before the rapture occurs
02:22unlike the second coming which is preceded by specific events in revelation the rapture could happen at any moment imagine a soldier suitcases packed
02:35boots by the door always ready for deployment that's how the church is called to live not predicting dates not scanning the skies for signs but clothed in righteousness and actively doing the lord's work but the modern church has forgotten this urgency
02:53we've grown sluggish we've grown sluggish we build kingdoms here decorate temporal tents and forget that our true citizenship is in heaven fill
03:03three twenty god never told us to speculate on when christ will return but he did command us to be ready
03:12therefore stay awake for you do not know on what day your lord is coming
03:17matt 24 42 this is not alarmism it's obedience the king is coming and his coming is not delayed it is imminent the trumpet could sound tonight
03:31are you ready keynote two biblical signs pointing to the end times a farmer walks through his field and glances at the sky
03:39the wind has shifted the air is heavy he knows a storm is coming he doesn't need a calendar he knows the signs
03:48likewise god has not left us blind in these last days he has given us clear indicators signs that while not directly pointing to the rapture
03:59signal the nearness of the tribulation and therefore how close we truly are
04:05jesus spoke plainly you will hear of wars and rumors of wars nation will rise against nation lawlessness will increase and the love of many will grow cold matt
04:16twenty four six dash twelve look around these signs are not future possibilities they are present realities
04:25we see spiritual deception rising false teachers multiplying and entire denominations
04:33and that's abandoning biblical truth in favor of cultural relevance paul warned of this
04:40in the last days there will be times of difficulty for people will be lovers of self having the appearance of godliness
04:49but denying its power to tim 3 1-5 israel god's prophetic timepiece is back in the land that single event in 1948
05:02revived dozens of end time prophecies jerusalem is once again at the center of global controversy
05:09just as zechariah foretold zech 12 2-3 meanwhile the world rushes toward globalism a cashless economy
05:18ai control and moral collapse what revelation warned about is no longer science fiction
05:25it's news headlines these are not coincidences these are not random god is shaking the world
05:31and every tremor is a trumpet to the sleeping church these signs tell us something loud and clear
05:38we are racing toward the tribulation and if that's true the rapture which precedes it is even closer
05:45no we do not set dates but we are commanded to discern the times luke 12 56 the signs are not coming
05:55they're already here and god is calling his people to be alert to be sober minded and to look up because
06:05our redemption is drawing near luke 21 28 keynote 3 the church must awaken spiritually
06:14it was a small church in sardis that received one of the most sobering rebukes from christ in the book of
06:20revelation though they had a reputation for being alive jesus said bluntly you are dead wake up revelation
06:303 1-2 that's a word for us today the modern church especially in the west is asleep we sing we gather we
06:41live stream but spiritually we are drowsy numb to holiness dull to doctrine obsessed with comfort
06:49we are like sardis in danger of appearing alive while being spiritually lifeless paul's words in
06:55romans 13 11 ring out like an alarm it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep for now salvation
07:03is nearer to us than when we believed he wasn't writing to unbelievers he was writing to christians
07:10urging them to snap out of spiritual slumber to cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of
07:17light we must ask what has lulled us to sleep is it the noise of entertainment the endless scroll of
07:25distractions the comfort of worldly acceptance the fear of being too bold with the gospel a sleeping
07:32church will not see the signs a sleeping church will not cry out in urgency a sleeping church will
07:40be unprepared when the bridegroom returns in jesus parable of the ten virgins matthew 25 five were ready
07:50and five were not all ten fell asleep but only five had oil in their lamps when the bridegroom came
07:59that oil represents readiness and only those who were prepared entered the wedding feast beloved christ is
08:06coming he warned us not to be caught unaware luke 21 34-36 we don't need more church programs or flashy
08:18productions we need repentance reverence and readiness the hour is late it's time to wake up keynote four
08:27god's sovereign timetable cannot be altered when daniel knelt to pray in babylon he was reading the
08:33scroll of jeremiah he saw the prophecy 70 years of exile for his people and he knew the time was nearly
08:42fulfilled so he didn't panic he didn't speculate he prayed because he trusted the sovereign timetable
08:50of god daniel 9 1-3 that same sovereignty is at work today the chaos around us may seem random wars
09:00famines global agendas pandemics technological surveillance but none of it surprises god
09:08the events of history are not directed by politicians or media empires or elite secret societies they are
09:16governed by the hand of god unfolding exactly as he ordained before time began isaiah 46 10 declares
09:26i declare the end from the beginning saying my purpose will be established and i will accomplish
09:34all my good pleasure history is not drifting it is moving with precision toward its divinely appointed end
09:43every event every rise and fall of a nation fits into god's prophetic puzzle and we the church are not
09:50called to manipulate the timetable but to trust it some grow anxious why hasn't christ returned yet
09:57peter addressed this mindset directly with the lord one day is as a thousand years the lord is not slow
10:03about his promise but is patient not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance to peter
10:103 8-9 god is never early he is never late he will not delay a second beyond his will and he will not
10:20come a second before his purpose is complete the world stage is being set the pieces are in place and
10:28though we do not know the day or hour we know the god who holds time in his hand our job is not to
10:36predict the calendar but to proclaim the gospel until the trumpet sounds god's timetable is unfolding not
10:43in fear but in majesty he's not scrambling to react to world events he's orchestrating them and soon he
10:52will say to his son go get your bride keynote 5 the hope and urgency of the rapture years ago a young
11:01believer buried her father a faithful man of god who had lived for christ and longed for his return as
11:09she stood by the graveside her heart was heavy but not with despair she remembered the words he had often
11:17quoted from 1 thessalonians 4 the dead in christ shall rise first then we who are alive will be caught up
11:26together with them to meet the lord in the air and so we will always be with the lord that beloved is
11:35the blessed hope the doctrine of the rapture is not meant to cause fear for the believer it is not
11:42sensationalism it is not escapism it is the glorious promise of christ to his church that he is coming to
11:49take his bride before the wrath of god is poured out upon the earth titus 2 13 calls it our blessed hope
11:57the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior jesus christ it's not just a future event it's a
12:04present motivation why does this matter today because knowing christ could return at any moment transforms
12:12the way we live it makes holiness urgent it gives purpose to our trials it awakens us to evangelism we're
12:20not just marking time we're redeeming it jesus said be dressed in readiness and keep your lamps lit
12:28for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect luke 12 35-40 the faithful servant is not the
12:37one who guessed the timing but the one who was always ready there is no prophecy left to be fulfilled
12:46before the rapture the trumpet could sound before you finish reading this sentence and when it does in a
12:53moment in the twinkling of an eye we will be changed 1 corinthians 15 52 no more sin no more sorrow
13:04we will see christ face to face so we do not fear we do not speculate we hope we watch we warn because
13:14time is almost up and for the church of jesus christ that's not a threat it's a promise
