Five Questions Forerunners need to answer in the last days...

1) Who is Jesus at His second coming? Psalm 2:10-12

We need to develop understanding of who Jesus is so that we will welcome Him and not resist Him (out of ignorance).

2) Why is the judgment of God so severe?

In Matt 24:6, Jesus says that "these things must come to pass..." and many will die through the tribulation in the End-Times (Rev. 6:8; 9:15). We cannot 'pray these away'. Do we understand why the judgment of God is so severe?

3) How does God administer His justice?

Do we know the way of God as the righteous Judge and thus partner with Him?

4) What does God want (as He shakes the nations in the last days)? Haggai 2:6-9

Are our lives aligned to what God wants and is looking for? God will use the least severe means of judgment (shake all that can be shaken) to bring about the greatest amount of revival on earth (turning to Him).

5) What will happen to the Church? Can we endure?

There will be great deception and tribulation and revival in the last days. Isaiah 2 talks about the glory and the terror of the day - glory for the saints (overcomers in Christ) who stand with God, and terror for those who are not on God's side. There will be great demonstration of God's power (Joel 2:23, 28-32; Hosea 6:2-3). Will we stand?
