God Wants Us Seeing Clearly Where Things are Headed:
END OF DAYS PREP—How Do I Protect Myself from Coming Mega Deceptions?
End of Days Preparation Lessons
Segment 1: Understanding the End Times
Lesson 1: The Call to Prepare
These challenging times, believers are urged to prepare for the end days by focusing on spiritual growth. The Bible warns against deception, emphasizing the need to stay rooted in God’s Word. Global events—political unrest, economic instability, wars, and weather changes—signal the nearing of prophetic times. Romans 11 highlights God’s enduring plan for Israel, showing that current events align with biblical prophecy. Rather than fear, believers should respond with purpose, understanding that Jesus’ return could happen at any moment. Preparation involves living faithfully, not stockpiling resources, but maximizing our time to fulfill God’s calling. This mindset shifts our focus from worldly concerns to eternal priorities.
Lesson 2: Joy Through God’s Word
To combat deception, immerse yourself in Scripture for joy and clarity. Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart.” Matthew 4:4 reinforces that we live by every word from God. Studying and memorizing Scripture brings joy, a byproduct of the Holy Spirit’s work. This joy strengthens believers against fear and despair, enabling them to stand out in a troubled world. By internalizing God’s promises, you gain hope and peace, which provoke curiosity in others. Share how God’s Word sustains you, fostering opportunities to witness.
Jeremiah 15:16
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
Matthew 4:4
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Lesson 3: Accountability in Community
Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages believers to gather, provoking one another to love and good works, especially as the end approaches. Joining or starting a small group fosters accountability, mutual encouragement, and spiritual growth. A local church is vital, but small groups replicate the early church’s intimacy, where believers exhorted one another while awaiting Christ. In a small group, you share burdens, discuss Scripture, and grow in the fruit of the Spirit while reducing sin’s influence. Accountability helps you live out biblical truths, ensuring your faith is active and visible. Seek or create a group to stay grounded in these prophetic times.
Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Lesson 4: Protection Through Study
Protect yourself from deception by studying Scripture diligently, as 2 Timothy 2:15 instructs: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Use a study Bible and systematic theology to grasp the big picture of God’s plan. Hard copies ensure access if digital resources fail. These tools clarify complex doctrines, like God’s promises to Israel in Romans 11, helping you discern truth amid global chaos. Regular study equips you to answer questions and live confidently, knowing God’s Word is your shield against mega deceptions.
2 Timothy 2:15
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Lesson 5: Understanding Global Events
Recent news—Israel’s bombing of Hamas in Qatar, Houthi retaliations, and NATO’s clash with Russian drones—reflects the unrest prophesied in Scripture. Romans 11 explains God’s plan for Israel, central to end-times events. These conflicts signal Israel’s growing isolation, setting the stage for the Antichrist’s covenant. Rather than fear, believers should see these as reminders of Christ’s imminent return. The Bible, not headlines, provides clarity. By studying prophecy, you align current events with God’s timeline, avoiding deception and focusing on your calling. Stay vigilant, not as a sign-watcher, but as one who understands the times through God’s Word.
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
