What In The World Is Going On?
What In The World Is Going On? Selected Scriptures In light of current global events, are we seeing signs today that something different is going on? Our world is in an uproar and we have been commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to discern the times (Luke 12:54-56). As we near the end of the post-resurrection age, and the world as we now know it, we should evaluate the Scriptures and attempt to understand prophecy of the coming of Christ. Our only reliable source of information in these turbulent times, and our only reliable standard of discernment, is the Bible. Did you know that over one third of the Bible talks about the end times? As such, we should be aware of the events that develop in our times, for the return of Christ draws near (Matthew 24:32-41). There are three questions about the end of the world that should help us to understand what to expect regarding end times events to come. 1) What nations will probably be involved? 2) What is the natural understanding of the events of End-Time prophecy? and 3) What do we need to do in response to the message given throughout the Bible concerning the End Times?

God with us (Matthew 1:22-25)
Jesus Christ is utterly unique. He is the Name above all names. He alone is the God-Man. This is, in theology, known as the “hypostatic union,†which simply states that Jesus Christ is One Person with two distinct natures, One fully God, one fully human residing together in the one Person of Jesus Christ unmixed, unconfused, and undivided. 100% God & 100% Man, in the one Person of Jesus Christ, who from the point of the virgin conception and birth exist eternally as the God-Man. This is a mystery that exceeds the capacity of our minds to fully grasp. So here we enter into Matthew’s purpose: To establish Jesus Christ as the God-Man who came to Save (His people from their sins), Fulfill (OT prophecy), and Reveal (God to men).

A Savior from Sin (Matthew 1:18-21)
The announcement of the appearing of Jesus Christ came with the greatest news a sinner could ever hear, "He will save His people from their sins." From the unique circumstances of His birth to the three fold announcement of the purpose of the incarnation, Jesus Christ is the name above all names. He is the One who will Save His people from their sins, Fulfill all that the prophets spoke about, and Reveal the Father. This week we examine the unique circumstance of the virgin conception and the first purpose of His appearing: to "save His people from their sins!"

This Could Be The Year
I don’t know about you, but the return of Jesus sounds a little mysterious and scary. Even Jesus’ disciples were interested in what His return would look like and what it would mean. Certainly, some of the prophecies sound foreboding and ominous. On the other hand, Jesus’ return means He will bring Paradise with Him. That means everything needs a major, miraculous, make-over, including you and me. Let’s find out more about it.
