Sunday Service: Speed Up!

(09-04-2022) Ptr. Lynard Molo

=Speed Up!=

Four Categories of Judgement:

First Coming of Christ --> Church Age --> The Rapture (Removal of Age Saints) --> Seven-Year Tribulation (Seven: Seals, Trumpet, Thunder, Bowl) --> Second Coming --> Millenial Kingdom (1000 years)

The Rapture
*1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
"16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

*Revelation 6:1-8
"1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!"

Seals: It contains the judgement of God.
> The seven seals are one of a series of end-times judgements from God.
> This will be the start of great Tribulation.
> The first four seals are known as the four horsemen of the Revelation.

Who are these horsemen?

2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

+Horsemen: Revelation 19:11,16 ; 6:2

*Revelation 19:11,16
"11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

**JESUS CHRIST

*Revelation 6:2
"2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

White horse: peace

**THE ANTICHRIST will come under the deception of bringing peace to the world.

**The Old Testament pictures the bow as a sign of military power (Jeremiah 51:56)

**The Anti-Christ has great military power.

**Indicates that the Antichrist will exercise great authority.

**The symbolism of the rider being a conquerer, but having no arrows makes us think that the Antichrist will be a peacemaker.

"The Antichrist will make himself out to be a savior, a Messiah, and a god, conquering through deception by claiming to solve the problems of the world."

The Anti-Christ will:
1. Appear Christ-like:
*Revelation 13:11
"11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

+The Antichrist will imitate Christ, but its lying words expose its real nature.

*Matthew 24:4-5
"4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.

2. Work miracles
*Revelation 13:13-14
"13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.
14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

3. Deny Christ 'coming in flesh".
*2 John 1:7
"7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

4. Reject God's Law
*Daniel 7:25b
"25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.

5. Persecute true Christians

FIRST SEAL: The Anti-Christ

3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

+Great warfare will break out on the earth.

*Matthew 24:6-7a
"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.

SECOND SEAL: War

5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

Scales: The pair of scales represents food being weighed and controlled.

6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

+Famine will be experienced worldwide.

How will this happen?
•This lack of food could be the result of nuclear weapon fallout spreading over fields and destroying crops.
•It could also be the consequences of globalist control of food and raising the prices to manipulate and control countries on the Antichrist's food supply and grain.
•The famine might also be the result of using the control of food to force people to take the Mark of the Beast.

THIRD SEAL: Famine

7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

+The Greek word for the color of the pale horse is "chloros"
+In English, words as chlorine, chloroform and chlorophyll.
+The term describes a greenish-yellow color that is characteristic of a decomposing corpse.

FOURTH SEAL: Death

*John 9:4
"4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
