Right now, we are standing on the shores of history watching the tidal waves of great glory, great harvest, and great trouble coming to the earth. Jesus’ teaching in John 13-17, at the last supper, was to prepare His disciples to walk in mature joy, supernatural peace, and enduring love in their most troubling hour. Just as Jesus used this to prepare the disciples for the three days of darkness and trouble, so the last supper is meant to prepare the end-time church for the events leading up to the last three and a half years of great glory and trouble. When we sit with Jesus at the table and engage in this dialogue, the result will be joy, peace, and enduring love.

In Matthew 24, Jesus identifies three global trends that will culminate in the generation of the Lord’s return, dynamically affecting the church and the missions movement. Wars, deception, and persecution are going to increase in frequency and intensity as we approach the return of Jesus. He is preparing His people now to walk through that hour with free hearts, alive in love, and anointed with power. It is those who will guard their love from growing cold that will take this gospel to the ends of the earth.
