Strong in the Faith (BD51)

              'Book of Daniel'

Dan 11:32  “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”

know their God shall be strong
  These knowledgeable Christians are true disciples of Jesus who love Him, and they are strong in their faith in God for:

a) They have understood His everlasting gospel: His sufferings, death, redemption, resurrection  anointing.

b) They were baptized with the Holy Spirit of truth by keeping His words,

c) With truth, they have a good understanding of end-time signs and prophecies,

d) They had witnessed His faithfulness in fulfilling His  many recent prophecies shown below:

1. Fig tree put forth leaves – Unbelief of Israelites in PLO-Peace Treaty in 1993.
2. Second Seal – Rwandan Genocide killed half a million within 3 months.
3. Third Seal - since the Asian Financial Crisis, the poor are still poor but the rich have become richer and richer - millionaires in 1990s to multimillionaires in 2000s, billionaires in 2010s and now the multi-billionaires in 2020s.
4. Cast Down Fallen Angels or Demons  – causing great havoc and sufferings worldwide with natural disasters and diseases. Their deceptions have filled churches with unbelief, heresies, lies, hypocrisies and abominable practices.
5. Y2K – Unlearned Christians thought Jesus has delayed His coming.
6. Rise of Tares – since 2000 (Y2K - the false alarm of rapture) many church leaders’ faith were affected and these displayed their flesh in their untransformed lives: heretic, rich, covetous and worldly pastors, televangelists, Christian leaders, etc. gay and lesbian bishops and pastors, etc.
7. Persecution of Christians – For their faith godly Christians are persecuted in so-called Christian nations US, UK, EU (homosexuality and Woke culture).
8. As in the Days of Lot – Depravity of Christianity in the West with the approval, acceptance and propagation of homosexuality and same sex marriage.
9. As in the Days of Noah -
Christians in the last days are selfish, wicked,carnal, merciless, covetous, worldly, etc. 
Gen 6:5  Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
10. Knowledge has increased especially in science, engineering, medicine, IT, holograms, AI, etc. 
Dan 12:4. “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.”
Note  End-time Mysteries are sealed up until the time of the end when God will give us the understanding. 

Prelude to World War 3
   When our Lord Jesus directed us to read the book of Daniel concerning the end-time Abomination of Desolation, they know that the end time events will begin from Dan 11:29 onwards, and as follows:-
1. When Iran (king of the North) attacks Israel (king of the South), the warships of the West will help Israel to bring down some of the missiles and drones - fulfilled in 2024
2. Iranian Nuclear Facilities obliterated - fulfilled in 2025

Next Signs
3. Iran will be overrun by the West
4. Ayatollah Ali apprehended and killed
5. Satan will use his corpse to incarnate into the Antichrist 
6. With Satanic power he will annihilate the invincible fleets of the West and overrun Israel and Jerusalem to start World War 3.
John 14:29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.”

Brethren, as you witness the above prophecies being fulfilled one by one before your very eyes, your faith will increase. You will start to crucify your flesh and be the light of the world - helping the poor and needy, preach the gospel and pray and love for one another. 
   Before World War 3 begins, your faith has helped you to overcome the world.
1 John 5:4  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
