It Is the Last Time, the Last Chance

Scriptures

Psalms 23:4-6 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 

John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

John 12:48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

 


Hallelujah! 

I bid you the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son Jesus. 

 

If you look at people around the globe who have survived the final moment of death when it appeared before their eyes, they survived because they took action at the time when they had the final chance. When various disasters and judgment came down in various places around the Earth, typhoons, floods, earthquakes, bombings, attacks, fires, tsunamis, etc. those who knew that it was the last chance fled, so they survived. But other people kept trading, running businesses, eating, drinking, enjoying themselves, and being idle and engrossed in worldly love even though the final warning had been given to their hearts through various signs and even though they were made to feel the imminent end. So they failed to grab the last chance and died. 


Before death, all people are given a forewarning of death, and a signal is ‘felt.’ Certainly, the last chance is given. In the past, God gave all of us a last chance, through which all of us escaped crises of death and suffering. If we pray, God, the Holy Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit let us know when the last chance is. At such a moment, the Trinity makes us realize by giving hints using even rocks and all things in creation.

 

When someone says ‘the end,’ people always think only of the destruction of the Earth or the end of the Earth. When they hear ‘the end of the world,’ they only perceive it to be the world completely disappearing and people dying as a result of great natural disasters. Even when the end time came, the world has never completely disappeared. So they don’t believe it even if they are told that it is the end time.


‘The last’ has nothing to do with creation, but it means, ‘the last days when the old time ends.’ This is the end of the world in relation to ‘the death of the bodies and spirits of human beings.’ What is more dreadful than the destruction of the Earth is ‘the destruction of your spirit.’ It is about your body and spirit ending in death. Even if one side of the globe crumbles, as long as you are living, it won’t matter to you. 


But when people hear ‘destruction’ or ‘judgment’ they only perceive it as being disasters and the creation and the Earth disappearing. In the past, even when wars broke out and tens of millions of people were dying around the globe, all of creation was peaceful. Even when a tsunami swept through a certain area, it was only people there that died. But the the rest of creation was quiet. 


At the end of the world, God judges ‘the spirit.’ In other words, God renders ‘judgment in regards to faith.’ It is not a judgment upon creation. Therefore, at this time, I tell you that you must escape judgment by praying, focusing on your spirit and body, and you must escape for the last time by becoming united with God and the savior.


At the last time, ‘your own body’ must come to its senses and take action. Only then, will ‘your spirit’ turn from the path of death and come to the path of life. 


'The body’ dying because of war or because of various natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, etc. is nothing more than ‘a warning’ like the collapse of the Siloam watchtower in the Bible, which was referred to as a mirror and a wake-up call for people to return to their senses upon seeing those deaths.

 

Now is the time of the last chance. The time means God and the Holy Son Jesus. Now is the last chance, so pray and bless all of you to take action through ‘prayer’ and take action with ‘the body.’
