Jesus said in Luke 21:28, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Jesus did not tell us to be terrified; He told us to look up. Bible prophecy was not given to make believers afraid. It was given to make believers alert. It reminds us that history is not random, nations are not moving outside the knowledge of God, armies are not gathering beyond His control, and political leaders are not changing the future in ways God never expected. God already knows the end. Isaiah 46:9–10 records the Lord saying, “I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,” and then declaring that He is “declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done.” God does not guess about tomorrow. He declared the end from the beginning. That should give us both urgency and confidence: urgency because the world is not standing still, and confidence because God has not lost control.

The 27 Characteristics of the AntiChrist
The Judgment Seat of Christ
“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire” (1 Cor. 3:10-15).
