Title: The end of the apocalypse {終末}
Today, we will study together about the end.
Everyone has an instinct to want to know ahead of time what is to come.
But what to do... Unfortunately for me
It is our frail people who cannot know what will happen in an hour.
From here, people acknowledge their limitations,
With a humble heart, our 'life-and-death happiness'
We need to live a blessed life by relying on God who is in control.
He has received a revelation, prophesying that the end is coming.
Isn't it funny to see people making a fuss on the street or on the subway...?
If anyone could foretell what will happen in ten minutes in this world...
The whole world will worship him, and he will probably rule and rule the world.
However, since the sin of Adam, man has lost all such powers.
The '9/11' incident in the United States as we know it well, or the 'tsunami' disaster caused by the earthquake in Japan not long ago.
If we had known just an hour ago, we would have saved thousands of lives... tens of thousands of lives...!
What will happen in just an hour like this
How can we, weak and unknown human beings, be proud of knowing what the end is?
In the Bible, there are answers to the beginning and the end of this world.
There is a 'secret of the next life', where a thousand years is like a day, and a day is like a thousand years.
The end is... when a person's lifespan ends and he leaves this world
It can be divided into personal things and the end of the Lord's promised general Second Coming.
As the Lord said today, the hour and the hour are only
He said that only God knows, so we should aim for a personal eschatology.
In these last days, especially, the gift of discernment of spirits
It is necessary, but if you study the Word deeply, you will receive the 'gift of discernment'.
“The word of God is alive and has power, sharper than any two-edged sword,
It pierces even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and 'sees the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'
There is nothing that has been made that does not appear before him, but all things
We appear naked before the eyes of those who have dealings with us.” (Hebrews 4:12-13)
Because the Word is the Lord and the Holy Spirit
Everything in the world is revealed in front of him without being able to hide it...
Therefore, we who are united with the Lord and become one spirit,
In the Word, we have the ability to discern the world and see through the forces of darkness. {1 Corinthians 6:17}
The word of the Bible is the way.
If you don't find a way in the Bible, there is no way anywhere in the world.
The divine oil heals the body, but the Word saves the soul.
Even those who fall into heresy... People who are pessimistic about the world and commit suicide because everyone doesn't know the way.
It's not important to know when. Deeply understanding the words of the Bible
When you know the world, he will naturally let you know the path of my soul and 'the time and time...' in this temporary world.
The words of the Bible are full of the secrets of heaven and the spiritual treasures of heaven.
This is only given by God to his children who long for grace.
"He answered and said to them, 'To know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven,'
It was granted to you, but not to him.” {Matthew 13:11}
With the help of the Holy Spirit, I pray that you can discern the beginning and the end of the world.
We speak of this, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in what the Holy Spirit has taught, so that 'spiritual things are distinguished by the spiritual'. {1 Corinthians 2:13}
