COUNTDOWN TO GLORY

COUNT DOWN TO GLORY & DOOMSDAY”     

(It Depends On the Divide You Are On)
1 Chronicle 12:32

1. We are in the times where we have gone beyond what Jesus calls the ‘’beginning of the birth  

     pangs’’ – Mt. 24:8.
2. Right now, there is a great tomfoolery going on, the wise (true Christians) have seen through

    it. As the “Man of Sin” is waiting on the wings ready to emerge or burst forth into the world

    stage. His structures are being put in place - primarily he will emerge from and be based in

    Europe. He is the Anti-Christ. There will be a new world order and “Super” power shift – 2  

    Thessalonians 2:3, 7, 10.
3. As the tail end of the very last days begins there will be a great out pouring of the Holy Spirit

    on God’s people particularly laymen, ordinary folks resulting in great expansion of God’s   

    Kingdom.
4. The church enters a phase of great prosperity, wealth and abundance. The Lord will prosper

     the church as an entity and individually.
5. We shall see a resurgence of the anointing of old, or former Prophets, former men and

    women of God in Bible and non Bible times.
6. This world wide scale gospel activity will prepare God’s people for the imminent rapture –

     many will rush into, apparently they will dive for their souls into the Kingdom of God.
