Matthew 7:21-23 21 "Not everyone who says to Me,

'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who

does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you

who practice lawlessness!'

1. The Cosmic Signs

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in

the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and

let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

 

The Hebrew word for signs is OWTH, meaning (in the sense of

appearing) - a signal

The Hebrew word for seasons is MOED, meaning properly - an

appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season; specifically, a festival

What is Hanukkah? (The Feast of Dedication)

The miraculous victory of the Maccabees, when a ragtag band of

dedicated Israelites rose up to defend their tiny nation against

the Selucid army — the mightiest in the world. It was a time of great miracles, celebrating the courage

that forever shaped the Jewish future.

The Maccabees, the heroes of the Hanukkah story, were Jews of faith. The Jewish people today

celebrate Hanukkah in their homes by lighting the menorah (the

Jewish candelabra symbolizing the eight nights of Hanukkah), and

adding one new light with each of the eight passing days.

This ritual commemorates the other Hanukkah miracle — the

miracle of oil. To crush the Jewish spirit, the Selucids defiled the

sacred Temple and transformed it into a palace of idolatry. After overthrowing the Selucids, the

Maccabees returned to the Temple

to discover one unbroken cruse of oil to light the ancient menorah,

enough for only one night of light. Yet instead of waiting for more oil to be made, the Maccabees lit the

menorah and rededicated the Temple that day, and the oil miraculously lasted for eight

nights.

This Jewish celebration of light commemorates a miracle seemingly insignificant in

comparison to the victory over the Selucids, but in truth, it is the

same miracle.

John 10:22-2322 Now it was the Feast of

Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the

temple, in Solomon's porch.

Luke 21:25-2825 "And there will be signs in the

sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of

nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things

which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be

shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with

power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to

happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption

draws near."  

Luke 21:34-3734 "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and

cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole

earth.

36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things

that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

3. The Last Shaking

Haggai 2:6-76 "For thus says the LORD of

hosts: "Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and

earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All

Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of

hosts.

Haggai 2:20-2220 And again the word of the LORD came to Haggai on the

twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: 'I will shake heaven and earth. 22 I will

overthrow the throne of

kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I

will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The

horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of

his brother.  

Hebrews 12:25-2925 See that you do not refuse Him

who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who

spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away

from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then

shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." 27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of

those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which

cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by

which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a

consuming fire.

God said in the last days he was going to shake the earth

including the Church!

1 Peter 4:17-1917 For the time has come for

judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18

Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the

ungodly and the sinner appear?”

19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God

commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

 

2 Timothy 3:1-131 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving,

slanderers, without

 self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong,

haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this

sort are those who creep into households and make captives of

gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to

come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and

Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of

corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they

will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as

theirs also was. 10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith,

longsuffering, love, perseverance,

11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at

Iconium, at Lystra--what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ

Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and

being deceived.

Galatians 5:19-2119 Now the works of the flesh are

evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not

inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 5:9-139 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually

immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or

with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would

need to go out of the world.

11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually

immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a

drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are

outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil

person."  

4. There are those who are Lost in the House!

Matthew 7:21-2321 "Not everyone who says to Me,

'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who

does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out

demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

1. Never been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are not

Born Again. 

John 3:3"Jesus answered and said to him,

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he

cannot see the kingdom of God."

2. No Prayer Life

3. No Hunger for God's Word 4. No Desire to live right

5. They love dark places like clubs, casinos, drinking, smoking, viewing pornography and doing drugs  6. They won't obey leadership always trying to justify all things

7.They love pleasure rather than love God 8. They sow discord amongst the brethren

Matthew 13:36-4336 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him,

saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." 37 He answered and said to them: "He

who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom,

but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who

sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and

the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His

angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend,

and those who practice lawlessness,

42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be

wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear,

let him hear!
