Know the Times and the Signs

Matthew 16:3

He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

When the Lord Comes, Signs Occur. It Is So That People Will Know Through Seeing the Signs

Many people don’t believe when a new time period starts because they have not received the person sent by God nor have heard the Word through that person and taken action upon it. These people cannot believe or feel the time period to be real, although they acknowledge that a new time period has come. When the time comes, God carries things out and performs the appropriate signs of the time period on a national and international level. These signs could not possibly be done by people, and through such signs God makes people believe. Jesus told people to believe by seeing the signs of the time period if they can’t believe in the person sent (John 10:37-38). Those who have received the one sent are the ones who will rejoice for a lifetime in their bodies and eternally in their spirits.

Diligently Take Action Following the Time Period and the Times

The person who receives the one sent for the time period lives with all their heart, will, and life as much as they acknowledge it, while the one who fails to receive the one sent, lives receiving according to their deeds. The ones who hear the Word of the time period and take action are the ones who have the blessing of the time period. History belongs to those who wait for it, know it, and receive it. Even after receiving the Word and time period, if you do nothing, it will not feel like you have received it. Only through taking action will you feel the joy and happiness of the new time period.

 If you deny the time period, you will assert your own thinking and pride, and as a result, cause yourself to miss the time due to ignorance and arrogance. When the right time comes, the witnesses must testify about the one sent by God. Those people must open the eyes of the blind and let them see. It is for your own sake that you set strong conditions and manage yourself in faith. The tribulations you face along the way cannot be compared to the things God gives you.

Be strong during the times of hardships by uniting strongly with God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. You need to value what you have. Those who take action strongly will receive even more and testify with greater conviction. You must always take action with thanksgiving, love, and joy. In any time period, if you hate the person who came to save you and find fault with him, you will cause yourself to go to ruin.

God Is a God of the Living. Repentance Is Key

If you sin but don’t repent, you are a dead person and have nothing to do with God. By repenting, you get out of the suffering of the domain of death. That is the reason the Lord came to save His people (Matthew 1:21). God lets people achieve salvation in which they come out of the domain of death by sending Jesus and working through the Lord. The Lord tells you about sin and about judgment. Listen to His words and repent because then you will not pay the price of the sin. Through prayer, you must let go of your thoughts and your way of life and live only according to the Will that the Lord God gave you.
