Three Reasons Why Now Is the Biblical “Time of the End”

Three Reasons Why Now Is the Biblical “Time of the End”

Ever since Jesus promised His followers that He would come again, Christians have been longing for our Savior’s return. And in every generation, people have believed theirs was the time, that the events occurring in their generation were fulfillments of biblical end-time prophecy.

The apostle Paul spoke of the gospel being taken to the known world in his day and believed that Jesus’ return was imminent. Many saw the persecutions of the Dark Ages as fulfillment of Bible prophecy and evidence of Christ’s soon return. In the 19th Century, Baptist preacher William Miller’s study of Daniel and Revelation led him to proclaim that Christ would return in 1844. His preaching led to a great revival—but also to a great disappointment when his prediction did not happen. Some of his followers eventually formed the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which makes the second advent of Jesus central in their beliefs. During WWI and WWII, many Christians concluded that the events were surely evidence of the forming of the beast of Revelation and the soon coming of Christ.

Ever since Christ’s resurrection, Christians have believed His second coming would happen in their lifetimes, yet again and again it hasn’t been the case. Why should the events in our day be any different? What reasons do we have to believe that events today make our generation distinctly different from any other in human history? I will give three.

  1. No safe haven left on planet Earth. While there has been religious persecution throughout human history, at every other time there has always been some place on the earth people of conscience could flee to and find religious liberty. The Americas were a haven for those fleeing religious persecution in Europe. The United States of America was formed upon the principle of religious liberty, the separation of church and state, and freedom of conscience. Since its inception, the USA has been a champion of religious liberty, not only protecting individuals within its borders, but advancing the cause of liberty around the world. During WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, the USA fought to hold back forces that would destroy individual liberties, including freedom of worship.

But today, the USA is betraying its founding principles. Today, the USA is about to remove the protections of liberty. Laws (the Equality Act is one example) are before congress that would make it criminal to speak one’s conscience, to preach one’s religious views, to practice one’s beliefs in their own business dealings. When the USA throws off its core principles of liberty and becomes a persecuting power—a nation that will use power, force, fines, economic pressure, revocation of business or professional license, imprisonment to restrict freedom of speech, assembly, and religion—then the last safe haven will be lost and, for the first time in human history, there will be no place left on the planet for the people of God to flee to and establish a new government of liberty.

This is why many people identify the second beast of Revelation 13, the beast that arises with lamblike horns but eventually speaks like a dragon, as the United States. The lamblike horns represent civil and religious liberty—the Christlike (Lamblike) principles of freedom. These are the founding principles of America. If this beast does in fact represent the USA, which I believe it does, then the Bible predicts it will eventually speak and act like Satan, the dragon—imperially, coercively, and through the taking away of our liberties. Then there will be no safe haven left on the earth, and this will surely mean that we are in the last days and Christ is coming soon.

  1. The United States blasphemes God. The second beast of Revelation 13 exercises all the power of the first beast before it, and one of the main offenses of the first beast is that it blasphemes God. Blasphemy can be claiming power or authority that is only God’s, like claiming the power to forgive sins; blasphemy can also be disparaging, insulting, or showing contempt for God.

The USA was founded on the belief in a Creator, upon the principles of God-given inalienable rights, which were written into the Declaration of Independence. America was established as a land in which God was honored and respected, in which we put “In God We Trust” on our money and proclaim to live in “one nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. The United States was founded as a nation that honored the Creator and enshrined this belief and the lamblike principles of liberty and justice for all into its founding documents.

Yet, over the past century, the belief in God has been replaced with godless evolution in our schools, universities, and research centers. Government research grants are denied to research that advances evidence of creation and the Creator. Prohibitions have been ordered to restrict prayer at various public events. Businesses have set policies against sharing one’s faith in the workplace. God’s design for marriage has been replaced, God’s design for human gender supplanted, and those who present biblical values are accused of hate speech.

The impact is that faith in God is being supplanted with a godless worldview and that we are blaspheming God as a nation. According to Pew Research, the number of Americans who identify as Christian has steadily decreased with each generation:

“More than eight-in-ten members of the Silent Generation (those born between 1928 and 1945) describe themselves as Christians (84%), as do three-quarters of Baby Boomers (76%). In stark contrast, only half of Millennials (49%) describe themselves as Christian” (https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/).

As the Silent Generation and the Boomers die off, the population of the USA will become dramatically less Christian. It’s already happening. The values of godlessness are becoming dominant, and the citizenry and government are increasingly denying the founding principles of liberty and blaspheming God by denying His existence and perverting His design for human relationships.

Worse, these same godless leaders, believing we evolved from lower life forms, deny that we were created in the image of God. As a result, they are advancing genetic and cybernetic manipulation of the human being. Through unrestrained genetic engineering and cybernetic augmentation, they are seeking to “evolve” humans to the “next level” of civilization. They don’t believe in a future with a new heaven and new earth recreated to sinless perfection by God; rather, they believe that we humans must save ourselves, save our planet, and create our own future without God.

The second reason why we are in the last days is that the USA is exercising the power of blasphemy against God, fulfilling the prophecy of Revelation chapter 13.

  1. The USA takes away civil liberties. The third reason is that, in addition to the righteous having no place on earth in which to flee from religious persecution; in addition to the USA turning away from its founding belief in the Creator to godlessness and blaspheming Him, the USA will take away civil liberties. The two lamblike principles (civil and religious liberty) will be replaced with the principles of Satan. Free speech, free assembly, freedom of commerce, freedom over one’s own health management, and freedom of travel will all be restricted and is being restricted. And the USA will lead the rest of the world to follow its dragon-like methods.

The third reason why we are in the last days is that the USA is now advancing policies that restrict civil liberties, and with its restriction of religious liberty is denying the lamblike principles of God and is now speaking like the dragon. There is no land left on earth to which the righteous can flee, and thus the biblical time of the end, the rising of the beastly powers of Revelation, is upon us.

But Jesus told His followers: “On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:25–28 NIV84).

For the righteous, for those who trust Jesus with their lives, for those who have had God’s design law of love written upon their hearts, they have nothing to fear—for Jesus is coming soon to put an end to all the pain, all the suffering, all the abuse, all the injustice, all this sin and to restore His universe to sinless perfection. I encourage you to recognize the time in which we are living, the privilege God has granted us to be part of His end-time people, those commissioned with taking the final message of mercy to the world to prepare all willing people for His return.

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”
