“What will Happen Before the Rapture”

Pastor Joey Anjiki

1. Signs of the end of the world

* (1) The appearance of false Christs

Mark 13:6 (See above)

* (2) Worldwide war

Mark 13:7-8 (See above)

The 10 laws of war propaganda

(1) We don't want war, we are only defending ourselves!

(2) Our adversary is solely responsible for this war!

(3) Our adversary's leader is inherently evil and resembles the devil

(4) We are defending a noble cause, not our particular interests!

(5) The enemy is purposefully committing atrocities; if we are making mistakes this happens without intention

(6) The enemy makes use of illegal weapons

(7) We suffer few losses, the enemy's losses are considerable

(8) Recognized intellectuals and artists support our cause

(9) Our cause is sacred

(10) Whoever casts doubt on our propaganda helps the enemy and is a traitor

* (3) Earthquakes and famine

Mark 13:8 (See above)

2. In difficult times

* “A person’s true nature is revealed when he or she is in difficulty.”

* The power faith has

* The testimony of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Thoughts to share at mini church:

1. Review what will happen at the end of the world.

2. Why can Christians pursue justice in the midst of difficulties?
