Review of the human heart

Matt 24:4-5
The days of preparation marked by;
False prophets
Lots of crimes . Next we will be the Rapture, 1Thes 4:13
Tribulation will then begin. Rev.6; Luk.21:36; 2Thess.2:7-8. Satan imitates the ways of God. He will come in the form a human being mimicking Christ. This Antichrist will control the world in 3main aspects;
*The economy
*Religion and
*Politics.
The great tribulation will follow the tribulation. Rev.11:1-2, Mark.13:14 then,
The glorious appearing of Christ. Rev.19:14-21.
Jesus highlighted and emphasised the following;
*Be careful do not be deceived (Matt.24:4) the gifts of utterance include prophecy, tongues, interpretation and these are being used by the devil. The power of miracles is not absolutely from God. But let's test the spirit. Sometimes God allows a false prophet to test our faith. (Deut.13:1-4).
  *Signs (Matt.24:32) biblical interpretation would be the restoration of the nation of Israel. (Amos.9:13-15)
*The need to be ready (Matt.24:45).

The Blessed Hope

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Titus 2:11‭-‬14 NIV

A blessed hope is the glorious appearing of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Death comes to us before this glorious appearing,  but we should look at this death with hope because our Saviour Jesus in whom we believe has conquered death. When we loose loved ones in the Lord,  we mourn with hope. 1Thess. 4:13-18 NIV

Our Hope is built on the gospel,  on sound doctrine laid down by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore we should watch out for the condemnation of the devil as Paul warns in 1 Tim. 3:6NIV
