Remember this children of God, no man knows the day, nor the hour that Christ Jesus shall return. For the children of darkness the day of Christ shall come as a thief in the night. But, for the children of light, that day shall not come as a thief in the night. Let me read the scriptures concerning his return,

1 Thessalonians 5:1 but of the times and the season brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. 4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

So, brothers, and sisters in Christ, we the children of God know about when Christ shall return. Therefore I would like to share with you when I believe that Christ will return. Let me first lay the ground work for my belief. There are false prophets that are saying that the church shall be raptured before the tribulation, but that is heresy. For the first to be gathered are the tares of this world, the children of Satan.

St. Matthew 13:24 another parable put he forth unto them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field; 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, an enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29. But he said, nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until harvest ; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.

Saints of God, did you notice that the first to be gathered, are the tares; the children of Satan shall be gathered first and burned, then we the children of God shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of God. When you hear a man preach, or teach that the children of God shall not go though the great tribulation, mark that man as a false prophet. Let no man deceive you, for the day of the lord shall not come, except there come a falling away from the church, and men renouncing their faith. And then that man of sin shall appear, the son of perdition.

11 Thessalonians 2:1 now we beseech you, brethren, by the c0oming of our lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5. Remember ye not, that, when I was; yet with you, I told you these things? 6. And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8. And then shall that wicked be revealed whom the lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. 10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 12. That they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Brothers, and sisters in Christ, the wheat and the tares are becoming full grown. The wheat, the children of God, are becoming day by day more like Christ. And the tares, the children of Satan, are becoming more like Satan day, by day. If you view television, the programs that are being transmitted to day, by law, could not have been transmitted thirty years ago. Think on this child of God, Satan is the prince of the power of the air. What am I trying to say, just this, harvest time is drawing very near. Soon the falling away shall take place, then shall appear the antichrist. It is my belief, that the Christians in Europe, in the 1930‘s and 1940's thought that the antichrist had come. There have been many massacres in time past. But nothing to compare with what is to come when the antichrist wages war again the saints. His reign shall last for three and one half years. The apostle st. John was inspired of God to record these words about the antichrist.

Revelation 13:4 and they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? 5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindred's, and tongues, and nations. 8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9. If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword, here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Beloved of God, the antichrist is coming. He shall make war with the saints, there shall be a slaughter of men, women, and children as never before in the history of the world. The antichrist shall try to annihilate every man, woman, and child that worship God the father, and his darling son, Jesus the Christ. And we, as children of God, will not be able to wage war against him. The antichrist's reign shall end when Christ Jesus returns; for Christ shall kill him. Therefore it is my belief that if you will count three and one half years from the time that the antichrist begins to reign you shall be very close to the day of the lord. Let me summarize what I have been saying, there is in this present world, both wheat, and tares. Both the children of God, and the children of the devil. Harvest time is drawing very near. The wheat is becoming more like Christ Jesus day, by day. And the children of Satan a becoming more like Satan day, by day. If you watch television, it is very easy to see, that the children of Satan are becoming full-grown. When you hear all the cursing, remember those people that do the cursing are giving a testimony, that they are the children of Satan. It is very easy to tell the children of God, from the children of Satan, the children of God do not transgress the commandments of God. For God's seed is in us, and we cannot sin, because we are born of God.

1 john 3:7 little children, let no man deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Let me point out at this time, that the number of people that are children of God, that are traveling on the narrow path that leads to the strait gate, are few; in comparison to the multitudes of people that are children of Satan, that are traveling on the Broadway that leads to destruction. I base my opinion on these verses of scripture. In these verses of scripture Jesus Christ, the son of God is speaking, and he says,

St. Matthew 7:13 enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. 14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Let me also mention that the antichrist is coming, but the system is already here. If a man believes in God the father, but denies the son, he is antichrist. If a man believes in Jesus, but denies he has a father, he is antichrist. Except a man believe in both God the father, and Jesus Christ the son, he is antichrist. The apostle St. John was inspired of God to record these words.

St. John 2:22 who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ he is antichrist, that denieth the father and the son.

Remember this children of God, that two men shall be in the field, one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding in the mill, one shall be taken and the other left; the first to be gathered are the tares, the children of Satan. Jesus Christ, the one that created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and placed them in space in one day said these words.

St. Matthew 13:30 let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.

Holy children, when the tares of this world are gathered out and burned, then shall the children of God, shine like the son in the kingdom of God.

St. Matthew 13.36 then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.37. He answered and said unto the, he that soweth the good seed is the son of man, 38. The field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43.then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father, who hath ears to hear let him hear.

Beloved of God, when Christ Jesus returns for his bride the church, the first to be resurrected, shall be those saints that have lose their lives, beheaded, for their faith in Christ Jesus ;during the great tribulation. Let no man deceive you child of God, for there shall none be born from the dead, never to die again before those that are in the first resurrection.

Revelation 20;4 and I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them, and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

When Christ shall return, we shall rise to meet him in the air, and the lord Jesus Christ shall lead us to the Mount of Olives. And when his feet shall alight upon the Mount of Olives, the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof.

Behold, the day of the lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle ; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
