Introduction & Are We in the End-Times?

Speaker 1

When you think about the end times, what do you see? Because the way you see it will shape how you live and navigate in the days ahead. In this episode, we're sharing three special paradigms, three ways of seeing correctly that can dramatically change how you view the end times. To do this, we'll look through a biblical and prophetic lens to reveal an end time picture that's different than most people think. Stay with us, you may never see the end times the same again. Welcome back to the Shekinah Today Podcast. We're your hosts, Darrel and Cindy deVille.

Speaker 2

Oh, welcome everyone. We are excited about bringing you this episode number four, right?

Speaker 1

That's right. It's going to be a great one.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

Well, with everything going on in the world right now, people are asking, are we in the end times? Is the tribulation about to start?

Speaker 2

You know, there's so many voices out there, and you're hearing all kinds of things. But it's so important in the days that we live to have the right perspective of the end times. Because if we don't and we just hear different things and different voices, it can lead to a lot of confusion and actually for our understanding to be darkened. And we need to see through the eyes of God, through the eyes of destiny. And He God has a plan and a strategy for his glorious church in the days ahead. Yes. And we need to know what that is.

Speaker 1

That's right. Well, before we get started, honey, can you just say a quick word of prayer as we get into this?

Speaker 2

Yes, yes. Well, Father, we just pray today that for all of those, for you that are listening to this podcast, we pray for you. We pray that God would speak to you by his spirit. We pray that you would begin to see the end times in a whole new way. That God would open up your eyes to see all the possibilities and your God-given divine destiny and how he desires for you to walk in these days. We pray that you will rise up in the days we live, glorious and victorious, you and your family moving forward. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Speaker 1

Amen. All right, so we're going to continue going through chapter one.

Speaker 2

I'm looking forward to this.

Speaker 1

That's right. It's a great chapter. So, chapter one, as we started going through it last time in our previous episode, we started sharing how an end-time shift has begun and that church as usual is coming to an end. That the ark of God's presence is going to lead us into a new day, paving the way for the glorious church to rise.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

We also talked about a kingdom transition has begun that was shifting from a church age to a kingdom age focus.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

We encourage you to go back and listen to the previous episode because it really sets up this episode that we're about to go through now.

Speaker 2

It does. And that was episode three, right?

Speaker 1

That's right.

Why These 3 End-Time Paradigms Matter

Speaker 1

All right. So now today we are sharing the three right in-time paradigms to help you navigate the days ahead. And we're going to share first about why these are so important.

Speaker 2

Yes. Amen.

Speaker 1

Many today are living in fear, dread, and uncertainty of what's ahead. And really, regardless of your in-time beliefs like rapture timing, etc., we believe adopting these paradigms, they will help you and your loved ones to see the end times correctly. You can navigate the days ahead in great faith, hope, peace, and even a grand sense of destiny when you see the bigger picture.

Speaker 2

Amen. And that's why God's word and seeing things from God's perspective is so critical. Because if you look at the landscape right now, you look at the news, you look at the reporting, and you look at the things from day to day, your mind, your heart, everything could be filled with fear, with dread, with hopelessness, with discouragement, and with just wanting to leave and run and hide. And this is why we wrote this book, and we believe it's a it's critical for God's people to be able to see correctly.

Speaker 1

That's right, because if you can see correctly, you can then navigate correctly.

Speaker 2

That's right.

The “Night Vision” Revelation

Speaker 1

In fact, that reminds us of a prophetic word the Lord spoke to us years ago that as the days get darker in the times ahead, that the church would have to have night vision.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

Operate in night vision. And by the way, listeners, did you happen to tune in to President Trump's press conference about the miraculous Easter rescue of two pilots downed in Iran?

Speaker 2

There's so much that is amazing about that. But one thing that stood out to us was they were talking about the night vision goggles. That's right. And how they would they preferred to actually work at night because they had so perfected those night vision goggles that they could actually see better at night than they could during the day. And just think of that. We were pondering that as we listened and realizing the Lord gave us a word called night vision. We shared it everywhere. It was a blog. And in that, we shared how important it was for the church to have night vision. But just think about this. God wants us, no matter how dark or light it is outside, but when it is dark out there, as we see in many places, God wants us to so tweak our vision, to have it to where our vision is so clear and clean at night, just like our military, to have those kind of night vision goggles that we can see better at night. And that's where when the Spirit of God, when we are walking by the Spirit, we're staying at high levels with the Spirit of God, we we start seeing really correctly.

Speaker 1

That's right. So as the days get darker, the church must have night vision. Amen. So important to see correctly. And again, that's what these right in-time paradigms help us to do, to see correctly and navigate the days ahead.

Wrong vs Right End-Time Mindset

Speaker 1

And this is very important because if you have the wrong paradigms, you're gonna see incorrectly and you could get off track. And so in our book, we highlight the importance and seeing the difference between the wrong and the right paradigm.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And so we talk about the Western church's view of the end times right now, for the most part, has been, I'm not gonna be here, so why do I have to worry about it?

Speaker 2

And that's actually sad.

Speaker 1

And we submit to you, regardless of your rapture timing belief, that is not a biblical mindset to have.

Speaker 2

Well, God, we need to have God's mindset and heart. And we know his mindset and heart is all about souls.

Speaker 1

That's right. The Lord's commanded us to go, not to run and hide. Exactly. Or think about, okay, when am I going to get out of here? See, that's the wrong mindset to have. We need to have a kingdom of God mindset. We're here to occupy it. Just like Jesus said, I'm about my father's business. Yes. That's what he wants us doing. Until he returns, he wants his church, his people, about his father's business, doing kingdom business in the arts.

Speaker 2

He wants us really to have a warrior mindset like Joshua and Caleb, who had a different spirit. Let's go up at once. Let's take the land.

Is Jesus Coming Back Any Day Now?

Speaker 1

That's right. And we're hearing this from many people. So many are thinking Jesus is coming back any day now. Without getting into a lot of details, because we have a whole book we're going to devote to the end times itself. It's going to be great. We don't believe he's coming back right now. He has too much to do. He has too much planned. If you look at our book, you'll see he has a lot of big plans. And it's going to take some time to do that.

Speaker 2

That's right. We need to understand this. There is an intense battle right now going on. It's for souls, salvation, and the destiny of nations. And you and the Church of Jesus Christ, we are in the midst of that battle. And this is something this goes into the whole paradigm of having, of not escaping, but we're here and we'll share this in these three paradigms. We'll go into this deeper.

Speaker 1

Yes. Amen.

Right End-time Paradigm #1

Speaker 1

Well, all right, listeners, are you ready to get into these three right end time paradigms? Okay, let's dive in. Right end time paradigm number one. Many see the end times as the end of the world. Well, we have good news. Right end time paradigm number one is the end times is not the end of the world. It's a new beginning.

Speaker 2

Amen. And that's exciting.

Speaker 1

That's right. See, the end times is not about the end of the world, but rather the end of an age, a transition from this current age to a new kingdom age, like we talked about last time, that Christ is going to be returning to set up his millennial kingdom. And ultimately, that'll eventually bring heaven to earth and restore everything to God's original plan that he created mankind for.

Speaker 2

Amen. And that is great news.

Speaker 1

It is great news.

Speaker 2

It's great news. We that's why seeing the big picture here is so important. It's not just about, oh, what's happening today, it's what God is all about, as I've said before, the long game, right?

Speaker 1

That's right. So the end of this age includes a clash of two kingdoms, the kingdom of darkness versus the kingdom of light. And this will be the time for the glorious church to rise, greater than we've ever seen before. The end times will be the end of the world as we know it. When Christ returns, he's gonna bring forth and begin a whole new world. Yes. Just as he said in Revelation 21:5, behold, I make all things new.

Speaker 2

Yes. Amen.

Speaker 1

And

Consider What Jesus Said It’d Be Like…

Speaker 1

listen, consider this. Jesus also described the end times as a woman in childbirth, as in Matthew 24, 8. Did you catch that? Jesus described the end times as a woman in childbirth, having labor pains. Jesus calls the end time signs not death pains, but birth pains.

Speaker 2

Amen. I mean, think about that.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

That word birth is huge. That's new life. That is new life.

Speaker 1

That's right. He's going to birth a brand new age, a whole new world is coming. So right now, the world is experiencing labor pains, birth pains to bring forth a new age, a new kingdom age. How exciting is that?

Speaker 2

That is exciting. I know the labor pains aren't fun, right?

Speaker 1

No, they can get pretty intense.

Speaker 2

Yes. And that birth pains actually come as you get closer to the delivery, more frequent and more intense. And so that's kind of where we're at. And that's where we see things intensifying as we move forward.

Speaker 1

That's right.

End-Time Waves & Surfing

Speaker 1

And even the end times can be likened to waves coming in.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

We talked about this all last episode. Yes. You know, when COVID hit, a lot of people were asking, is this the end of the world? Is this the end upon us? And we said, no, we we believe this is just a new end time shift. Yes. It was an end-time wave that was coming in. And as we move forward in the years ahead, there's going to be end time waves coming in that will get more intense and build in intensity. Yes. And I, when I was younger, I used to surf. One thing we learned as surfers, the waves would come in sets. And typically the larger waves are always towards the end of that set. We let the first waves go by and wait for the bigger waves to come before we go.

Speaker 2

So these last days are going to be an adventure, right?

Speaker 1

Yes. All right. So right end time paradigm number one is the end times it's not the end of the world, but it's rather a new beginning.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Right End-time Paradigm #2

Speaker 1

So now we see the end times is leading to a new beginning. But what will the time leading up to this new beginning look like? What would they be like? Well, that leads us to right end time paradigm number two.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

So let me ask you this, listeners. How do you see the end time days ahead? Do you see it as many do? Do you see the days ahead just as we talked about getting more intense and darker, even filled with times of judgment? Or do you see, as others have, the days ahead being glorious and the greatest revival happening, the great end time harvest coming in? Which is it? So we believe God reveals that it will actually be both. That leads us to the right end time paradigm number two. In the future, we're going to see both great darkness and great glory.

Speaker 2

And that is so accurate and true according to scripture, as we see in Isaiah 60, as we shared in our last episode.

Speaker 1

That's right. Isaiah 60 talks about deep darkness or great darkness covering the earth, and not just the earth, but the people. But it says, My glory will rise upon you and will be seen upon you. So we see right there both great darkness and great glory. And really, the deeper and darker the darkness and the end times get, the brighter the glorious church will rise.

Speaker 2

That's right. And that's what I love about the message and the book, the fullness of the message there is it's really about the church being filled with the glory, the presence of God, and operating at a higher level. And that's what we lay out really in the book is how do we get there? How do we do that? So that these days,

The Right Focus (What Jesus Told Us)

Speaker 2

as things get darker and more intense, where it's not we're not overcome by evil, but we are overcoming the evil. That's right. So instead of looking out and thinking, oh my gosh, it's so dark, I can't take this. Instead, we are overcoming it, overtaking it because of the glory of the Lord.

Speaker 1

And again, it's what you focus on is so important. And we just want to share a little secret with you, I think that will help you in this. Is the Lord spoke to us personally, and during our prayer time, as we were praying, and he spoke to us and said, Don't focus on the darkness, everything going on, focus on me. Yes, focus on the light, focus on Christ. When you do that, everything else, as the song goes, fades in comparison to the heart.

Speaker 2

This is when your eyes are filled with light, your whole body will be filled with light. That's right. And what he said specifically, he said, keep your eyes on me and on my glory. That's right. And if we don't, church, if we don't keep our eyes on him and on the glory, and we're gonna fixate and and just listen to all of these things that are going on in the world, the darkness, then your eyes are gonna be filled with darkness. And it starts filling your heart and your life. And that's where the hope and the courage and the faith and the life is zapped and drained. That's right. And God wants you filled. He wants you filled, not with darkness, he wants you filled with light.

Biblical & Prophetic—Great Shaking + Greater Glory

Speaker 1

That's right. So this second paradigm is about the future, seeing the future as both having great darkness and great glory. As we just spoke about in Isaiah 60, another place that speaks about this is Haggai 2. It talks about great shaking. He says, Once again, I'm gonna shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. That's pretty intense. I'm gonna shake all nations, and they'll come to the desire of all nations. Yes. And he says, I'm gonna fill this temple with my glory. The glory of this latter temple should be greater than the former.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

He has saved the best for last.

Speaker 2

Amen. That's so true. That's so godlike, isn't it? That's right.

Speaker 1

That's right. You know, Hebrews also, Hebrews 12 talks about this. It actually, Hebrews 12 points back to Haggai too and declares, everything will be shaken, but the kingdom of God, that the kingdom of God will not be shaken but arise.

Speaker 2

Amen. Well, that's what scripture tells us that we are of a kingdom. You listening, are of a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and a kingdom that will never end.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

So when we are in the kingdom of God, part of the kingdom of God, everything else can be shaken. This reminds me also of a vision I had back in, I believe it was 2010, about the pulpit shaking. And what I saw in that vision were pastors, they were clinging, they were literally on the floor, clinging to their pulpits, the bottom of their pulpits, the base of their pulpits, and everything was shaking in the church, in the nation. And it's amazing because we've seen that play out with many uh pastors that actually fell, compromising because things were shaking. That's right. And so that's why it's so important, which we share in the book as well, how important that our foundations are strong.

Speaker 1

That's right.

What God is Building & Wants You to Know

Speaker 1

So listen, as things get darker and start shaking, it's not a time to fear, just to understand God is working in the midst of it to advance and build his kingdom. Amen. His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. That's what the glorious church is going to help bring. So as a shaking increases, King Jesus will raise up a new kind of church on the earth, the glorious church. And it will be built upon the rock of Christ. It will be unshakable.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 2

And so we see this paradigm that we are going to see both darkness and light. But as as we shared, that God wants the church so filled up. That's right.

Speaker 1

And during the greatest days of darkness and shaking, and the greatest message of hope will be carried by the glorious church and be heard by all nations. Amen. The gospel of the kingdom.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

During prayer, the Lord also spoke to us and said, My people need to know what's coming and what's ahead, because he wants his people ready. He wants his people to see the big picture and what's ahead. So next, we're about to share a prophetic glimpse of what the days ahead will look like. Then we'll get into right end time paradigm number three, which is so important.

Speaker 2

And so close to God's heart.

Speaker 1

That's right. And then towards the end, we'll share one more prophetic word of what's coming. God's glorious end-time arty, what that looks like.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

So stay with us, we'll be right

Break: An Invitation

Speaker 1

back.

Speaker 3

Decades ago, God began shaping within Darrel and Cindy a grand vision, revealing his end time plans and blueprints for what he's about to do in his church and in the nations. And now the time has come to share these from their new book, Rise of the Glorious Church. To learn more about all this, we invite you to watch our engaging and prophetic trailers and inspiring shorts on our new Shekinah Today YouTube channel. Then subscribe, share, and see more details on our website at shekinatoday.org.

Speaker 1

All

Prophetic Context about the Nations and America

Speaker 1

right, welcome back. Now we're going to give you a prophetic glimpse of what the days ahead will look like. We're first going to give you a little background of when God started speaking to us about the nations in 2007.

Speaker 2

That's right. And these are some prophetic words that were very heavy, very weighty, and hard. And so what I want to share here a moment are two words. I'm not going to share the words fully here, but just give you a glimpse of where we are and how this relates. It's very much about America and about the nations of the earth and what God spoke starting in 2007. But I want to encourage you as I share these and after the podcast to go to our website and look these words up. So in the first vision that I had was called Judgment is running. And what I saw was four horses running. And they were running to the nations of the earth. I knew that. There was a chariot behind them, and in the chariot was someone with a whip that was driving them, and they were being driven so fast. As I saw that, I heard the Lord say, and I spoke these words: judgment is running, judgment is coming, judgment is coming, judgment is running. And it was running to America and the nations. And so it was real weighty, and there were some other things the Lord spoke, but um, in that word, and again, just think of the things that have transpired since that time. And then shortly after that came the America America prophecy. And there were several things, and that one, I was standing in the living room in prayer, I couldn't sleep that night, and I kept seeing the streets of America, and there was just this groaning in this deep intercession. The Lord began to speak, and I just began to write. I was writing so fast I didn't even hardly know what I was writing. But he said, Enemies, enemies, they all want in. America, America, you are filled with sin. And then there were several things he said, but one thing he said, he said, that I can cause your markets to fall in a day. All that you trust in will dissipate. There were several things he said, but it was shortly after that, a few months later, when we saw the big market crash and everything spiraled in the nations. But this is the main thing that came away from that America America prophecy was the call to pray. And so what happened is out of that 2010, we birthed and started uh the Pray America Pray Campaign based on that prophecy because it drove me to my knees. And um it was really it was a hard word, and but I knew it was from God. I knew it was, and a lot of people had a hard time with it, but I knew I knew it was God. And so drove us to our knees, and that's what caused us to spend the next several years devoting our life and time to writing the book, God's Answer for America. That's right. And it was a call to repentance and prayer, beginning in the pulpits, going from the pulpits to the pew. But here's the the great news, and what I want to say is God began to birth across our nation prayer movements, and there were already some, several going, but God began to birth it across the nation. We sent that book to Washington, D.C. We sent it to leaders, we sent it to pastors, we sent it everywhere. And um, it really was a call to national repentance and to prayer, beginning with the church. And so I believe we are where we are today, and I believe God's mercy, God has been merciful, and that's what we've been crying out for, is that because of that, our nation is still standing. And I believe that's why we're we're actually seeing in some place, we're seeing awakening, we're seeing reformation, we're seeing the youth and God moving in a powerful way. But this is critical and why the church has got to take her place and rise up as the glorious church, and why God has been cleansing and purifying and making ready the bride. And so that leads us to where, so there's so much hope here and so much faith and so much. But see, God is working in nations, he's working in America and throughout the nations of the earth. And the more the church engages, the more we rise up, the more we set aside the several words the Lord has spoken in the great visitation. Lay aside every sin and weight that would hold you back and pen you in. He's calling us um into that place of glory.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Prophetic Word: The Day Ahead Will Be…

Speaker 1

The reason we share those prophetic words about judgment trending in America, America, and how those have always started coming to pass, even back when they were spoken. It also lends weight to this next word we want to share. Yes. About the days ahead, what the Lord spoke to us and showed Cindy again. It actually was uh something that happened over a couple days.

Speaker 2

It did. It came as what's interesting is sometimes the Lord will just uh be praying in the spirit and it'll just come as a song. And Holy Spirit, these songs were like utterances just coming over two days. And I could hear these words days of wonder, days of dread. These are the days that lie ahead. And I'm just gonna read this if that's okay. It says days of wonder, days of dread, these Are the days that lie ahead? Great engrave things will be happening all at the same time, intertwined, all in line with the seasons and the time.

Speaker 1

Great and grave things happening at the same time also again points back to Isaiah 60.

Speaker 2

Yes, it does.

Speaker 1

Great darkness and great glory, both happening at the same time. Intertwined.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

We're going to see that theme here through this second end time paradigm.

Speaker 2

That's right. Then the rest of the word he says, great and mighty shakings, even great awakenings, great and grave things all at the same time. Great things in my church and grave things in the earth. I want to say something about the church too. When he says great things in my church, people are like, What? Great things? No, we're just seeing scandals and all this. But you need to understand, God is all about the big picture. What we're actually seeing is a cleansing and a purifying.

Speaker 1

That is a great thing.

Speaker 2

We're actually seeing the church, God is doing a work in his church. He's cleansing and purifying. Getting you ready. Exactly. And it may not feel like something good, great happening, but actually, when we see the big picture, see, God, remember, God's about the end game, right? That's right. And so this is a great thing. But he said grave things in the earth. He said earthquakes and floods, famines and wars, so much more than you've seen before.

Speaker 1

Which we've been seeing.

Speaker 2

Yes, we have. I mean, the floods, the I mean, it's yeah. But no, know this, church, and we want you to know this personally that I am preparing you. I'm preparing my church. I'm preparing you, my bride, to rise up and to be a light, to rise up in great darkness and night. And he says, She will arise, she will arise. I mean, that is so important because God is preparing us, but the only way he can prepare us is when we surrender to the process.

Speaker 1

That's right. And preparing the bride to rise up in great light. That's the glorious church.

Speaker 2

Yes, it is. Isn't that amazing? To rise up. He said, She will rise, she will rise. And then he said this again: great things, grave things will be happening at the same time intertwined. Glory, judgment, and wrath. He spoke that three times. He said, Those glory, judgment, and wrath. Glory, judgment, and wrath. You know, people, when you look at the word wrath, they're glory, judgment, and wrath. Pump some people might say, Well, no, the wrath isn't, it's not poured out to the end. But there is a different level when we see Romans 118. Let me just read this to you. Romans 118 tells us that the wrath of God is revealed. It doesn't say will be, it says is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. And I just want to say this. What is one thing that we have seen? We've watched the truth being suppressed on many sides. And that is why the church has to speak the truth. We cannot allow the truth to be suppressed.

Speaker 1

That's right. Just like you were sharing, honey, there are different levels of God's judgment and wrath.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

Of course, the more several ones we towards the very end.

Speaker 2

Yes. Glory, judgment, and wrath. He said, My word shall come to pass, it shall come to pass, for we are in the last, the very last times. And listen to this, he says, You'll see my plans unfold, then you'll see the doors close. The end of time, my church will shine. So get ready to shine.

Speaker 1

Amen. You can actually go back and read that full word on our website, shekinatoday.org. And the name of that prophecy is called Days of Wonder, Days of Dread Ahead.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And so again, that ties in with the second in-time paradigm. And I

Confirming Word by a Well-Known Minister

Speaker 1

want to share a confirmation here. Some years after this, the Lord gave us that word. We saw a video of John Kilpatrick from Browns Hill Revival. The Lord showed him this about what was going to be happening towards the last days. I will pour out my spirit again, but it will be in conjunction with end-time events.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

Just think about that. God's going to be pouring out his spirit in conjunction with end-time events. That's great darkness and great glory, all intertwined at the same time.

Speaker 2

So I want to ask you, those that are listening, are you ready to go to new levels? Because that is what God is calling you to. That's what he's calling us to. That's what he's calling his church to, is higher levels to where, as I think we shared in the previous episode about the eagle flying high above the storm.

Speaker 1

It doesn't just fly above the storm, it first flies into the storm. It doesn't fly away, running away from the storm, it flies into the storm. That is so amazing. And then the wind, the powerful winds of that storm, as it flies into it, will rave will actually lift up the eagle above the storm.

Speaker 2

So that is so amazing. Because you know, Satan will, and the kingdom of darkness will come out you and you can actually use, take it and actually use it to help propel you forward. Yeah, so you know up on the wings as eagles. That's right. And see, that that's the thing. You win. If I can tell you that again, you win.

Speaker 1

That's

Key Truth + Two Kinds of End-Time Waves Coming

Speaker 1

right. And see, as the in-time waves and storms come in and intertwined with those ways will be ways of glory rolling down too. That as the church prays and engages, God will bring forth his glory and his grace upon his church.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

And the key truth is this God doesn't show us what's coming to scare us, but to prepare us. Amen. So when you think about this word that Cindy just read, it's not, he doesn't share these kind of things to scare us, but to prepare us. Amen. He wants his people ready. He also spoke to us in prayer. He said, My people need to know what's coming, what's ahead, because he wants his people ready.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

As the end time shaking and waves come in and intensify, the greater those intensify, the greater God's grace is going to increase upon his church. Yes. For those that are staying close to him. That's a key. That's right. Staying close to him. That's one thing he's spoken many times to us. Tell my people to come very close, stay very close to me. It's like Psalm 91, under his wings, a protection. And so God is preparing his church for the events ahead. To not be taken by surprise or not shaken, but rather to arise and shine.

Speaker 2

That's right. And also reminded of, I've shared before, is if we want to win, you got to be all in. There's one thing we can speak to you today is the church. And personally, you have to make that decision. God, I I'm all in. I'm all in. Because you can't have one foot out and one foot in and expect to win and expect to to rise up. You gotta say, God, I'm I'm all in. Here I am.

Speaker 1

That's right. So the greatest and most exciting days of the church are ahead. So it's not a time to fear, but a time to draw near and prepare in joy and great expectation for what God's about to do.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

You, we have been privileged to be born to such a significant time in history that we get to see Bible prophecy unfold before our eyes.

Speaker 2

I know it's happening now. I know it.

Speaker 1

That's right. It's amazing. So, end time paradigm number one, it's not the end of the world, it's a new beginning.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And then end time paradigm number two, that in the future days ahead, we'll see both great darkness and great glory intertwined.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

Waves of darkness, waves of glory.

Speaker 2

But in the midst of that, the paradigm is that we overcome the darkness.

Speaker 1

The light always overcomes the darkness. Yes, it does.

Speaker 2

And that's why we have to be filled with light, the light of God's word.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Right End-time Paradigm #3

Speaker 1

So that leads us to the final right end time paradigm, number three. And again, I want to emphasize this. Regardless of the timing of the rapture of the church, that should not be our main end time focus. It should be. When is the Lord coming to get us out of here?

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

That should not be our main end time focus. Like in Thessalonians, Paul had to address the believers that had their suitcases packed, just hanging out, waiting for Jesus to come get. Exactly. No, that's not what's going to happen. That's not how it's unfolding.

Speaker 2

You need to go get a job.

Speaker 1

Get to work and be ready for his be ready, you know, get to work, occupy.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

Be stand firm in a faith and keep pressing forward. Exactly. Basically, and that again, too many in the church are trying to hold on till Jesus comes. And that's the wrong mindset. And that leads us to right in-time paradigm number three, what our in-time focus really should be. This is it. The church's end time focus is not an escape, it's a rescue.

Speaker 2

Amen. Wow. Just think about that.

Speaker 1

That's right. Let that sink in. Our main in-time focus is not an escape, but a great end-time rescue mission. That's right. Let that sink in.

What God is Waiting For His Church to Do

Speaker 1

So, see, many are waiting for the rapture to go up. God is waiting for the church to grow up. Let me say that again. Many are waiting for the rapture to go up. God is waiting for the church to grow up. God is needing his people to grow up and mature into Christ-likeness and arise and shine with the glorious gospel of the kingdom.

Speaker 2

Amen. Amen.

Speaker 1

See, as the end-time storms roll in, our end-time mission is to arise and shine, not hide or escape.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

See, the glorious church is not looking to be rescued in an escape. The glorious church is going to be doing the rescuing and the saving, not the escaping.

Speaker 2

You know, and and that really is the heart of God when you look at scripture, is he so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son. That's right. I mean, think of the price that he paid. And he wants everyone to be saved. He desires that all men would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. And so that is our mission here.

Speaker 1

That's right.

The Church’s End-Time Focus & Role

Speaker 1

And so, see, the glorious church again will be doing the rescuing and the saving, not the escaping. Because the reality is, we're not going up just yet. There's too much to do. Things are just getting warmed up, people. The church's finest hour is yet to come. Yes. We must be ready for it. We're here for a purpose, not to run and hide, but to rise and shine.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

God is preparing us to go long and go strong. That's right.

Speaker 2

That's right. And so you know, the glorious church, she's not going to back down, but she's going to stand her ground. She's not only going to stand her ground, she's going to take ground. I mean, just think about this. The church that God creates, the church that God has built, his people are called to be ever advancing. When you look at this throughout scripture, you look in the Old Testament and then you look in the New Testament. First, you see in Genesis, be fruitful, multiply, in other words, advance. And then he in the Old Testament, too, he says, go, go, take possession of the land. That's forward. That's advancing. And then you see in the New Testament again, go make disciples of the nations. Does that look like hiding and escaping? Does that look like running away? No, that looks like go and take go. And if we are going to push back the gates of hell in the days ahead and that ahead, then and take precious territory, then we need to realize there will be conflict. But we're, if we are armored up and we're ready for that conflict, we're prepared for it, then we overcome.

Speaker 1

That's right. We're like an in-time glorious church aren't. That's right. And we need to see from a strategic kingdom of God mindset that this is like a military kingdom operation. That's right. We're on our in-time rescue mission to arise and shine with the gospel of the kingdom, first to rescue souls, then make disciples, and that starts even with our families.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And then advance the kingdom of God in the earth as it is in heaven. God wants His goodness and glory demonstrated and to have great influence and impact throughout all areas of society. Amen. Like we say in our mission statement, to transform and impact lives, families, cities, and nations.

Speaker 2

Amen. Amen.

Speaker 1

Wow. And

What God is Setting Up—a Great End-time...

Speaker 1

so the church's in-time focus is not an escape, it's a rescue. And the reason is because God is setting up a great end time net. Yes. Just like Isaiah 60, we talked about before, talks about Gentiles shall come to your light, kings to the brightness of your rising. Then it goes on to say, and the abundance of the sea shall be converted to thee, as it says in the King James Version, converted to thee. Well, abundance of the sea can be interpreted as fish, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for souls. That's right. Just like Jesus told his fishers of men. You'll be fishers of men, right? His disciples. He told them, You'll be fierces of men. God is setting the stage for the church to cast her nets into the sea of humanity and rescue souls and multitudes for eternity.

Speaker 2

Amen. Amen.

Speaker 1

And so the world will be drawn to Christ and the glorious church, especially in times of disaster, people are going to be looking for answers. And the church will rise with the answer of Christ, the desire of all nations. That's right. And his glory will be seen greater than there before, as we were speeding about in the Hague.

Speaker 2

Yes. Well, you know, I almost see that with the youth of our nation right now, as we're seeing so many young people. And this is something we have prayed for. Many have prayed for, the church has prayed for. So many young people coming to Christ. We're seeing such a surge in that on universities. We're seeing God move so much. But just think of it, the all they have been through. They walked through COVID during their high school years, during their and and so many other things they've been confronted with and dealing with, and just the assault on them, their identity, their everything. And so they realize we need, we, we need more. We need God.

Speaker 1

That's right. So we see the end times is not a time for us to look or wait for an escape or hide in fear or dread. It's a time for God's people to arise and shine in unprecedented unity, power, and glory with a gospel of the kingdom to help bring in a great end-time harvest.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

It's going to be epic. Amen. I really do believe that. It's going to be epic.

Speaker 2

Well, God kind of does sing in epic fashion.

Speaker 1

He is all into epic.

Speaker 2

I just love it.

Speaker 1

He's amazing. So the glorious church also will prepare the way of the Lord. Like we shared on our last episode, John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord's first coming. The glorious church is going to prepare the way for the Lord's second coming.

Speaker 2

Yes. Amen.

Speaker 1

We

Prophetic Word: The Glorious Church Army

Speaker 1

want to share this one more prophetic word as we begin to close. The God's glorious church army is coming.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And what that looks like.

Speaker 2

This is an amazing word we're about to share here. And actually, this didn't come from us. This actually came from a seasoned saint. Yes. A video that we saw on Facebook. And this word was so powerful, so resonated with us. We just knew, oh, that's that's the spirit of God. We don't know who this lady is. We tried to find her name. So we can't give credit to her, but we do want you to know it's out there and we did share it.

Speaker 1

Why don't you go ahead and read it for us?

Speaker 2

Yeah, and the anointing was just so on her, too. It was beautiful. Just listen to the words and let them resonate and stir your heart. Last time I came, I came as a lamb. I humbled myself and I walked as a man. But this time I'm coming like a mighty lion, and I will cause my church to have backbone like iron. I will move by my spirit and cause you to pray. You shall pull down the strongholds that stand in your way. For I am raising up a people never seen before, ready for war. This battle won't be fought with ammunition, but with songs of praise, you will take your position. Your ears will be tuned to the captain's command. You will take over cities, you will march through the lands. And women and children will take their stand. All colors, all races will walk hand in hand. This army will be filled with the Holy Ghost, and their commander-in-chief is the Lord of hosts. Everyone marching in one accord, all in this army, sold out to the Lord, all with their eyes on the crucified one, and everyone moving in unison. Wow. It just makes me want to cry. And what's so powerful about this? This came in 2020 during COVID when things were heavy and dark and people were being, there were lockdowns, and people were being forced to do things, and churches were being forced to be closed, and God just spoke into that situation.

You Were Born for This Moment!

Speaker 1

All right, listeners. Well, has this caused you to see the end times differently? With faith, hope, expectancy, and even a grand sense of destiny? We hope it has. It has for us.

Speaker 2

Yes, definitely.

Speaker 1

And we just want to encourage you with this, listeners, that you were born for such a time as this. That a shift has begun. God is repositioning his people for a great end time rescue mission, and you're invited to join him in it.

Speaker 2

Amen. Yeah, this is not a time to draw back, but it's a time really to attack. It's the time to prepare, to armor up, and to go in. And we do not do that in our own strength or power. We do that in the power of his might.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

That's how we fight.

Speaker 1

Amen. Amen. So,

Recap & Final Thoughts

Speaker 1

in quick review, we've covered in these three right end time paradigms to help you see clearly and navigate the days ahead. Right end time paradigm number one was the end times is not the end of the world. Instead, it's a new beginning.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

Right end time paradigm number two. In the future, we'll see both great darkness and great glory intertwined. And how the church will arise in the midst of great darkness with great glory.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

Amen. And then the right end time paradigm number three, the church's in-time focus is not an escape, it's a rescue.

Speaker 2

A glorious rescue.

Speaker 1

A glorious rescue. That's right. So as in-time storms come in in the days ahead, God is preparing his glorious church to rise with a gospel of the kingdom and in the greatest rescue mission ever seen. Amen. It's going to be amazing.

Speaker 2

And amen.

Speaker 1

All right. So

Speaker 1

listen, next episode, we get to share something so dramatic and powerful. A vision of Jesus opening up seven end time doors. He has keys in his hand, and every key opens up a certain door.
