A Positive Mindset Before Jesus Returns

8.10.2025

Review

Daniel 7:9-10 (NLT)

I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, His hair like purest wool. He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire, 10 and a river of fire was pouring out, flowing from His presence. Millions of angels ministered to Him; many millions stood to attend Him. Then the court began its session,

and the books were opened…

Daniel 7:13-14 (NLT)

As my vision continued that night, I saw someone like a Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into His presence. 14 He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey Him. His rule is eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed.

Jesus WILL return just as the angels promised and just like the scriptures reveal.

Acts 1:9-11 (NLT)

After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. 10 As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”

Matthew 24:32-35 (AMP)

From the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near. 33 So also when you see these signs,all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation (the whole multitude of people living at the same time,in a definite,given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place. 35 Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

We are living in the time in between!

We are right at the end of the church age where we have been for 2000 years, and are entering an age of judgment just before the Second Coming Of Christ and his 1000 year rule we call the millennium or the millennial reign of Christ.

This is a volatile time, and God has given us Grace to deal with it!

Ephesians 1:10 (JB Phillips)

For God had allowed us to know the secret of his plan, and it is this: he purposes in his sovereign will that all human history shall be consummated in Christ, that everything that exists in Heaven or earth shall find its perfection and fulfilment in him.

Jesus coming is a singular event that contains a series of things that happen.

Jesus return is a series of events:

Parousia

From – para – with

and – ousia – being.

Conveys the idea of an arrival, and a continued presence with…

It indicates a sequence of events.

His second coming will include the rise of the antiChrist, the birth pangs spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24, the great tribulation after the antiChrist desecrates the temple, the resurrection of those who have died in Christ, the rapture of the church, the Day of the Lord, Judgment on the wicked with the trumpet and bowl judgments, His physical return to Jerusalem in glory and power, and His establishing His millennial kingdom.

The Rapture of the church is included with Jesus Second Coming.

There are many different views as to the rapture of the church.

Pre-tribulation, Mid-Tribulation, Post-Tribulation.

I am Pre-Wrath. Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Make certain you are walking with Jesus, that you are born again, and not just going through the motions of going to church with a close relationship with Him.

Here are a few things that are happening in real time that point to Jesus’ soon return!

Here are some things that will keep you as the world changes:

Live by Faith

Take the Bible at face value!

Isaiah 33:6 – Isaiah 55:11 – Psalm 119:89

Set feelings and emotions aside and act and live as though God’s Word is true!

Listen to the Holy Spirit.

John 16:13

John 14:26

Pray in Faith! This takes care of worry!

Mark 11:24

Matthew 21:22

Philippians 4:6

Say out loud what you believe. Words carry faith from your heart to God!

Mark 11:23

James 3:6

Matthew 12:34-35

Words overcome negative thoughts every time!

Proverbs 18:21

Guard your health!

Jesus’ sacrifice for us provides both forgiveness of sin and healing and health!

Resist the devil!

His road into your life is thoughts and feelings.

Colossians 1:13

James 4:7 Resist the devil!

Walk in love.

Refuse to be offended by anything!

1 Corinthians 13:5 – thinks no evil – takes no account of the evil done to it, pays no attention to a suffered wrong!

Expect to be blessed!

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed with all spiritual blessings

2 Peter 1:3 – all things that pertain to life and godliness!

Philippians 4:19

Six reasons we need to prepare for Jesus’ soon return:

1. A treaty of some kind will signal the beginning of a seven year period typically called The Tribulation.

Daniel 9:27 (NKJV)

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.”

Daniel 9:27 (NLT)

The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”

This could be a treaty, or some kind of agreement that creates a peace between Israel and her enemies.

This treaty will signal the beginning of the last seven years of time that God showed Daniel 2500 years ago of God dealing with Israel.

It is called the time of Jacob’s trouble.

It is called Daniel’s seventieth week.

It is called The Tribulation, even though this term is NOT found in the Bible.

Daniel 12:1-4 (NKJV)

At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine

like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. 4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Daniel 12:1-4 (NLT)

At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued. 2 Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. 3 Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever. 4 But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.”

2. A Two State solution – the creation of a State of Palestine – is in the process of being brokered by the nations of the Middle East.

This would create a nation for Palestinians within Israel in Gaza.

Joel 3:1-2 (NKJV)

For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.

President Trump just met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu recently and it is suggested that they are talking about how to broker a peace agreement with the Middle Eastern nations.

I think that Trump being president is by the Hand of the Lord.

July 13 last year, his life was spared.

He is being used by God to set the world up for scripture to be fulfilled.

Once a peace agreement comes, there are seven years of hardship for Israel and the world.

3. The World is preparing for a digital currency, which will usher in a more specific control of finances here in the USA and worldwide for those who participate.

Artificial Intelligence will be used in a great way to steer world economics, world politics, and world oversight.

Digital currency will at some point replace the physical dollar and physical money may at some point be phased out.

Revelation 13:16-18 (NKJV)

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Revelation 13:16-18 (NLT)

He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. 18 Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.

4. A one world ideology of leadership will eventually come to the forefront. Scripture says it will.

Revelation 13 mentions two beasts that arise in the time just prior to Jesus’ return.

The Beasts here are two people controlled by the satanic kingdom.

The first beast, The beast from the sea (representing people), is the person we usually call antiChrist.

This is the world leader of a global system (AntiChrist).

Revelation 13:5-8 (NLT)

Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months. 6 And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering His name and His dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8 And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.

The second beast is a religious leader (It may be the Pope!) He tells people to listen to the global leader!

Revelation 13:11-17 (NLT)

Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching. 14 And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life. 15 He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.

16 He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.

This could be the Global Reset that is being pushed by the elites of the world that control nations with money.

35 years ago it was spoken of as the New World Order.

World leaders are pushing for this and want America to join in.

Some political leaders in this nation want us to join this reset. They are paid under the table to sit back and allow our freedoms to be given away.

Others resist pointing to our constitution and bill of rights.

If globally minded people had been elected to the office of President, and control our Congress and Senate, then we would have participated fairly quickly in a global reset. We may have been given a short period of time to get ourselves ready and to evangelize our friends!

And that is where we are right now.

Financial freedom will continue to slowly dwindle away.

One world themes will emerge with urges for us to participate in global law and governance that does not involve our constitution and rights as US citizens (with an embrace of any lifestyle of your choosing); a global economy will emerge, with an eventual digital currency for the world; and global religion will come that reduces every religion to serving the same god. This will bring great persecution to Christians and Jews.

The WHO is pushing an agenda they want the US to enter into that will bypass our Constitution and Bill of Rights and force US citizens against their will to participate in certain things for the health of all!

There will be a LOT of pushback!

Donald Trump’s election may create a delay before the USA joins the global community in all the ways I just mentioned.

Some people are really mad at Trump because he is not a globalist. He puts America first. He is a Constitutionalist. He is a nationalist. He believes in a country with defined borders, a clear history, and a set of autonomous governing laws ( our Constitution) And that is why so many of the elites in our country, including the news media, do not like him.

There will continue to be lots of fighting between two groups. God has called us in this time to be peacemakers.

Satan and his kingdom desire instability in America so that they can easily propagate their one world ideology!

Resist the tendency to respond in anger right now.

Prepare your family for a time of relative instability.

Get close to your fellow Christians. We need each other now more than ever.

Nonetheless, the antiChrist spirit is prevalent worldwide right now, and will eventually gain traction. It is only a matter of time before the person that is the antiChrist appears on the world scene in the Middle East.

Some countries will resist.

Daniel 7:25-27 (NLT)

He will defy the Most High and oppress the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change their sacred festivals and laws, and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time. (26) “But then the court will pass judgment, and all his power will be taken away and completely destroyed. (27) Then the sovereignty, power, and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be given to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will last forever, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.”

Lawlessness is ruling without the background of God’s moral law, the Ten Commandments.

Daniel 8:23-25 (NLT)

At the end of their rule, when their sin is at its height, a fierce king, a master of intrigue, will rise to power. (24) He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy people. (25) He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will destroy many without warning. He will even take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power.

This is eventually coming, nothing can stop it.

5. The last generation before Jesus’ return will have something in common with Noah!

Luke 17:26-35 (NLT)

When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 27 In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 “And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business—eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building—29 until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home. 32 Remember what happened to Lot’s wife! 33 If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it. 34 That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.”

During Noah’s time, there was a proliferation of wickedness brought on by the intermarrying of angels and humans.

(Genesis 6).

This created a race of giants that literally filled the earth and began to dominate the human gene pool.

This is what precipitated into God sending a flood to kill man and animals and start over with Noah and his family.

The human gene pool had been corrupted.

Rick Renner – The world before the flood.

The Book of Giants.

The Book of Enoch.

Dennis Lindsay

The fallen angels propagated perversion and occult practices to the human race.

They taught the human race different kinds of warfare technology and introduced instruments of war.

They filled the earth with lust, sexual perversion and violence.

As it was in the days of Noah. What we see now is just the beginning of this all over again.

Sexual perversions are increasing.

Violence is reaching a fever pitch.

New technologies are seeking to integrate the human with implants that change DNA to increase wisdom, mobility, and longevity.

Artificial Intelligence is now being used to change DNA in mankind. Cures of all kinds of diseases will draw people to trust AI.

We are going in the same direction as Noah’s day!

Keep yourself and your family!

Seek God and pray!

6. Ask for a fresh move of God in your life, in your family, and in the world.

Matthew 24:14 (NLT)

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.

James 5:7-8 (NKJV)

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

James 5:7-8 (NLT)

Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. 8 You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.

Along with all of this, the Holy Spirit will be poured out one more time to produce the greatest harvest of people being won to Jesus that the world has ever seen.

It will be accompanied by signs, wonders, and miracles!

Joel 2:28-32 (NLT)

Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. 29 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. 30 And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives. 32 But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the LORD has said. These will be among the survivors whom the LORD has called.

God spoke to me on October 6, 2019 during our Sunday night prayer meeting at the time, and told me that there would be an event that would shake the nation, and after this event Joel 2 would be fulfilled!

We are on the edge of this right now!

Isaiah 60:1-3 (NKJV)

Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you,and His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your rising.

Now is the time to give your all to Jesus if you are planning to do so.

Don’t wait.

Time is short!

Action Points:

1. Are you preparing for the changes that are coming by dedicating yourself completely to the Lord?

2. Are you spending time with the Lord first thing in your day, by reading the Word and by praying?

3. Are you actively praying for the salvation of those in your life that are not born again?

4. Are you actively looking for God to use you every day to share Jesus with people in your life?
