Our Saviour, Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ) is coming soon. 2000 years ago, He told His disciples the signs which would precede His Return to this world, so that we would know when the time is near. Among the Signs Elohim (God) Yahushua prophesied are:
SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH!!
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Matthew 24:29 (KJV)
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring… Luke 21: 25 (KJV).
There are historical records that signs have already occurred and can be found on:

NATIONS AGAINST ONEANOTHER AND TROUBLES UPON THE EARTH!!
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom . . . Matthew 24: 7 (KJV).
During the 20th Century there were many wars, including the 1st and 2nd World Wars. The wars have continued now in the 21st Century. It has been said that there are more than forty wars being fought in various parts of the world at any given time. Today, there is the threat of Chemical Warfare and Weapons of Mass Destruction. In addition to the other conflicts in parts of the world, there is global Terrorism (a most sinister and dangerous war); the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the ongoing conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as the threat of Hezbollah, and also Syria, concerning the Golan Heights.
… and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24: 7 (KJV).
There have always been disasters but in more recent times they have escalated greatly throughout the world, especially since 2007. Among these disasters are:
The devastating Tsunami in S.E. Asia on December 26, 2004,
Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans and other places in the USA and else where.
Other severe hurricanes in the West Indies and parts of North and Central America.

Severe famines in parts of Africa and droughts in Europe, Australia and parts of the USA.
The raging fires in parts of Europe, including Greece, California and Australia.
Severe floodings in Europe, Central and South America, England, Indonesia, Australia, Africa and many other parts of the world.
The devastating earthquake in Southern Pakistan in October 2005 and Peru in 2007, among other places, as well as the earthquake which shook the United Kingdom in February 2008.

TIME OF TROUBLE!!
We are living in a time of trouble, so that many are afraid, as the Scripture says:
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21: 25, 26 (KJV).
21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24: 21 (KJV).
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time . . . Daniel 12: 1 (KJV).
This world is passing through a great time of trouble, which is evident by the things which are happening throughout the world. Unfortunately, THE CONDITIONS WILL ONLY WORSEN!!
These severe conditions will only be brought to an end by the return of Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ) to this world, as we are assured by Daniel:
. . . and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Daniel 12: 1 (KJV.
THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL WORLD-WIDE!!
14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24: 14 (KJV).
The preaching of Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the world, is one of the last signs to be fulfilled prior to the Return of Yahushua (Jesus). Through the various Christian Satellites, Television, Radio and other means, the Gospel of the Good News of the Kingdom has almost been preached throughout the world.
DECEPTION AND PERSECTION OF THE FOLLOWERS OF YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST)
There is great deception today, which has blinded so many in this world, and has led them to worship and serve whatever they wish, instead of the true and living Elohim (God), the Creator of Heaven and Earth and the Giver and Sustainer of life here upon Planet Earth. On the other hand there is great persecution and martyrdom of Christians in many lands, by those who have rejected Yahushua as their Saviour due to the terrible deception which is in the world.
Likewise, Yahushua pointed out the deception of false christs. There have been many persons claiming to be Christ, including Jim Jones and David Koresh.
Our Saviour, Yahushua, knew what Satan would do to the peoples whom he could deceive. Thus in love, He gave the warning:
Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24: 4, 5. (KJV).
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24: 24 (KJV).
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9.
(KJV).
THE CITY OF EAST JERUSALEM - A SURE SIGN OF YAHUSHUA’S RETURN!!
The City of East Jerusalem was under Gentile rule from 70 A.D. until 1967, when it went back under the control of the Jews. Yahushua declared that after that time, He would return to this world. It has now been decided that Israel is to be partitioned into two States, and the Old City of Jerusalem is to go back under Gentile Rule.
According to Yahushua’s word, Jerusalem is the city of the great King (Matthew 5:35) and it is where the New Jerusalem will be located!! Therefore, according to the prophecy of Yahushua in Luke 21: 24, He will be the next Ruler of Jerusalem.
His words are unchanging (Malachi 3:6), therefore, we can now look for Him to return and fulfil His Word and put an end to Satan’s evil reign upon this earth, and bring an end to this present world and to all the evils and wickednesses, which have plagued it over the past 4000 years. Concerning these things, Yahushua, said:
24 . . . and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Luke 21: 24 (KJV).
36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24: 36-39 (KJV).
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24: 30,31 (KJV).
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21: 27,28. (KJV).
UNBELIEF AND SCOFFERS IN THESE LAST DAY!!
In these days, as in times of old, although this Planet is ‘raging’ and all around there is great change and decay, and it is evident that this old world is groaning and coming to an end; there are scoffers who ridicule the Coming of our Saviour. Thus Peter in his Epistle, warned against such persons. He says:
3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 2 Peter 3: 3-6 (KJV).
Then Peter spoke of the certainty of Elohim Yahushua’s Sure Return, and the End of this World:
7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3: 7-10 (KJV).
Peter’s Encouragement and Admonition to Us:
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 2 Peter 3: 11-14 (KJV).
Dear Friends:
King Yahushua Ha Mashiach, who shed His blood upon a Cross for you and me, WILL RETURN!! And we are living in that time of earth’s history. The Questions before you are:
Should He come today, tonight or this moment, How will it be with your souls?
Will you be ready to meet Him and to go home with Him to His Kingdom of Glory?
Or:
Will you be among those who will be running to the rocks and the mountains and asking them to fall upon you, in order that you will be hidden from the face of Yahushua, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?? (Revelation 6: 12-17).
Now is the time to think personally and seriously about these questions and upon Yahushua’s Words, because they affect you directly. You cannot rely on anyone’s righteousness, to save you. Neither, can you make excuses or blame others if your are lost.
PLEASE REALISE THAT YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOURSELF!!
Therefore:
YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION ABOUT YOUR OWN SALVATION!!
At this very moment, Yahushua extends His invitation to you, and says:
20Behold, 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. 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3: 20-22 (KJV)
If you have not yet fully accepted Yahushua as your Saviour and Adonai (Lord), and would like to accept His Invitation, so that you will be ready to meet Him at all times, including when He Returns to the world in the near future, please say this simple prayer:
Dear Yahushua (Jesus): Thank You that You that out of Your love for me, You came from Your throne in Heaven, to this world; where You suffered and died on a Cross for my sins. I am sorry for the wrong things I have done. Today, I accept Your Invitation of love and mercy and I give myself to You.
Please forgive me of my sins and please come into my heart, and be my Lord and my Saviour. Please save my soul by Your grace, then please baptise and fill me with the Ruach Ha Kodesh, Your Holy Spirit, so that I can live a life like unto Yours and also help to lead others to know and accept You as their own personal Saviour.
Please help me each day for the rest of my life, to live a life that is pleasing in Your sight, so that whether I die before Your Return; or I am alive at Your Second Coming, I will be ready and waiting to go home to be with You in Heaven, Your throne and dwelling place. Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer, please get a Bible (if you do not have one) and prayerfully read it each day with the help of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit). You can begin with the Gospels, reading the Book of Mark or John to begin with, so that you can learn more about Yahushua, the King of Heaven, who loves you and shed His blood to save you. Please also pray to Yahweh (God) our Father, each day, in Yahushua's name.
SPEND TIME IN PRAYER
Each day please spend time with your Elohim (God) in prayer. The best time to pray is first thing in the morning when you wake up and before going to bed at nights. However you need to pray as you go through the day. This you can do by lifting your thoughts up to Yahweh,our Heavenly Father, as often as you can.
Prayer is talking to Yahweh, as you would speak to your friend.
Thus whenever you pray, just reverently call His name and then in Yahushua's name, tell Him whatever is on your heart. Yahushua tells us in John 14: 13-14, that whatever we ask the Father in His name, that He will do it for us.(An example of one of Yahushua’s Prayer, is found in Matthew 6: 6-13).
You will also need to join yourself to the body of Yahushua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), where you can be nourished spiritually; asn where you will grow and fellowship with like believers in Him, as we are admonished in Hebrews 10: 24-26.
24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10: 24-26
Therefore, I admonish you to find a body of believers, who love and serve their Elohim (God) and follow the Word of Yahushua. Please also ensure that the group, ministry, fellowship or church which you will choose to make your spiritual home, is a place where the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit) is in control and manifest His power.
May you, by Yahushua’s grace, realise the serious times in which we live, and so make your calling and election sure. Thereby, you will be ready to meet King Yahushua in peace when He comes in the near future. Thus, along with all His children, you will go to be with Him in Heaven, His throne and dwelling place.
May the blessings of Yahweh, our Heavenly Father; Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ), our Saviour and Adonai (Lord); and the Ruach Ha Kodesh (the Holy Spirit), our Comforter be with you always.
Please remember Friends, that:
YAHUSHUA LOVES YOU!! THAT HE DIED FOR YOU!! THAT HE ROSE AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN FOR YOU!! THAT HE IS COMING SOON TO THIS WORLD!! THAT HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU IN HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GLORY!!
Yours in the blessed hope of the soon coming of our Saviour Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ).
Ellisa (servant of Yahushua Ha Mashiach).
