End Times Prophecy Report

“…remember the poor…”
—Galatians 2:10

Jesus reminded his followers that the poor will always be with us, regardless of the grandiose words which proceed from the mouths of men.

“For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good”
—Mark 14:7

Many wonder “WHY does God allows men to suffer want?”

For those deceived into believing this world is all there is, a life without wealth and/or power no doubt seems cruel.

But for those who know the truth: that this world is only a probationary period to determine where eternity will be spent, a life without wealth and/or power is practically a prerequisite for eternal joy.

But during the sojourn here, believers are asked to remember the poor; 1) to make the journey of the poor a bit easier; and, 2) to ensure that believers keep in mind “There but for the grace of God go I.”

God determines our fortune.

No, rather God IS our fortune.

Men who exalt themselves make grand proclamations about “ending poverty.”

This is nothing more than mere words uttered by mere men.

The poor will always be around.

Remember the poor.

“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.”
–Deuteronomy 15:11

Another reminder: strive to be poor in spirit.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
–Matthew 5:3

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
–Proverbs 16:18

Remember the poor.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

“Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”
–Proverbs 26:12
