Many Christians today are looking for the return of the Lord and the rapture to bail them out of the troubles of this life, but God’s word reveals He is not returning for a frightened, powerless Church running for their lives, but a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle, holy and blameless. (Ephesians 5:27) It’s not hard to see the Church today is not there yet.
There is a popular teaching the return of the Lord is imminent, that He could come back at any moment, but that contradicts many Bible prophecies that must be fulfilled before He returns. These unscriptural teachings are popular because they tell us what we all want to hear, heaven is near and all our troubles will be long gone. We could avoid being misled by this foolishness just by reading the Bible.
Some take it even a step further by setting specific dates for His return. There seems to be a new date set every year. I’ve given up wasting my time debating these people here on Z3 News because so far, none of them have shown any interest in what the Bible says. Then, when nothing happens on their big date, instead of humbly repenting of their errors, they continue stiff-necked, setting another date a few months later. They make the Church a laughingstock to the whole world. Many of us have seen their ridicule posted on social media and it’s well deserved.
According to the Bible, there are many major events that must happen before the Lord returns. Here’s a list of 15 of them.
- A major world war must happen after the antichrist receives his first crown. (Revelation 6:1-4)
- A major worldwide economic collapse with hyper-inflation must happen after the world war that follows the antichrist receiving his first crown. (Revelation 6:4-6)
- One fourth of the earth must suffer famine, pestilence and more killing with the sword after the events listed above. (Revelation 6:7-8)
- Great earthquakes powerful enough to move mountains and islands must happen in various places. There are prophecies about a 12.2 hitting the west coast of the United States, which would be far greater than any earthquake in history. (Matthew 24:7, Revelation 6:12-17)
- The third temple must be built in Jerusalem. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, Revelation 11:1-2, Daniel 8:11-14) This would require major political changes and a lengthy construction period.
- The kingdom of the beast must be established. (Daniel 7:23-27, Revelation 13) Today we see the United States standing in its’ way, so the rise of the beast kingdom would require major changes in global currencies, governments, economies, and militaries.
- The antichrist must make a seven-year covenant. (Daniel 9:27)
- The antichrist must pretend to honor the seven-year covenant for the first three and a half years when he ultimately violates it. (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15)
- The power of the holy ones must be shattered. (Revelation 13:5-7 and Daniel 9:27)
- A great falling away from the faith must happen. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Matthew 24:9-10)
- The man of lawlessness must be revealed to the world. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3)
- The Gospel must be proclaimed throughout the whole world. (Matthew 24:14)
- The Church must become holy, righteous, without spot or blemish. (Ephesians 4:11-16, Ephesians 5:25-27) Today, the Church is filled with compromise with sin.
- The Church must be built on the foundation of the ministry of the apostles and prophets. (Ephesians 2:20) Today, the Church is built on the ministry of pastors, teachers, and evangelists while apostles and prophets are mostly treated as outcasts, too spooky to even talk about.
- Believers must do greater works than Jesus did. (John 14:12) Many have done some of the works He did, but what about greater works?
For a more in depth study of these events, please see my post, Ten Things that Must Happen Before the Rapture.
How long will it take for all these things to be fulfilled? Considering their magnitude, many of these events will take years, so we still have a long way to go.
Although we don’t know the day or the hour of His return, He said we would know the season. Jesus compared it to how we know summer is near when we see leaves budding on a fig tree. (Matthew 24:32-33) So, God wants us to know where we are on His timeline and has given us many clues, not only in the Bible, but also prophetically.
In the 5-minute video shown at the bottom of this post, the late prophet Bob Jones shares a hundred-year prophecy he claims he received from God, which starts back in the 1950’s. The video was published September 26, 2009. The following provides a transcript of his comments.
“Years ago, he gave me a hundred year prophecy.
The 1950’s revealed the power of God… William Branham, AA Allen, Oral Roberts, and Jack Coe.
The 1960’s revealed the Spirit of God. That’s when the baptism of the Holy Spirit began to come into denominations.
The 1970’s was the Word of God. That’s when really inspired teachers began to be raised up and showed us new understanding of the written Word.
The 1980’s began to reveal the prophets of God, people who get the inspired word of God.
In the 1990’s, we began to get a revelation of the government of God.
In the 2000’s, we got the glory of God, a lot of these gold flakes and gold teeth and everything, it’s on the verge of revealing the glory of God.
The 2010‘s will reveal the faith of God. It’s not having faith in God, but having the faith of God.
The 2020’s will reveal the rest of God. We as the body will come into a place of resting in God where God will rest in us. In this rest, the enemy will not be able to do warfare because we are resting in God and He is resting in us and He will accomplish the things He means to do in a people that is at rest. He has always wanted a people that would come into His rest, but there never has been one, but it’s on the way.
The 2030’s will reveal the family of God. There will be such a unity. If you pick on one, you pick on them all. And intercession, where if you’re picking on one, intercessors are mediating all over. They come right in. It’s a family.
The 2040’s will reveal the coming forth of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom authority, Kingdom sons, sons of the Kingdom.
The 2050’s will reveal the sons of God. They’ll grow into where they have a light on and a likeness to the Son of God.
I saw up to 2060. That’s as far as I saw. And the church was here. It wasn’t beat down. It was walking in the glory of God. It had the power of God on it. It had power over death. It had power over weather. It had power over everything.
We are in a time of growing. I don’t know what season it comes in there, but there will be a season in those last 30 years to where death will have no part over those that are the sons of God. There is a generation, they won’t know death and I believe these youths that are getting ready and these youths that are being prepared now and those that are not yet saved, they won’t be afraid of death because they will go everyplace in the world. They’ll take it. They won’t be able to stop them. We know in the last days, some of these, that if you take their life, they have the power to raise it up again. I was seeing that kind of resurrection power in the Church in the last days. I don’t know when it will begin, but I really felt that it will begin in the 2030s.”
Bob Jones was not given a specific date or year for the Lord’s return. He was only shown events leading up to 2060 and did not even mention the Lord’s return, so perhaps some of what he saw happens after the return of the Lord. He even said, “there will be a season in those last 30 years to where death will have no part over those that are the sons of God.” Death will have no part over those that are the sons of God? That sounds like the millennial reign when the sons of God will be living on earth in our new glorified bodies.
Prophecies recorded in the Bible include events after the Lord’s return, so perhaps some of what Bob Jones saw also happens afterwards. Just because he described themes for each decade does not necessarily mean it all happens before the Lord’s return. The world does not end when the Lord returns. So, perhaps when Bob Jones saw Kingdom authority coming in the 2040’s, he was seeing the fulfillment of what Jesus said,
26 “He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations;
27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father;” (Revelation 2:26-27)
Then Bob Jones said, “The 2050’s will reveal the sons of God. They’ll grow into where they have a light on and a likeness to the Son of God.” God’s people don’t stop growing or developing after the Lord returns. Our lives will continue forever and ever with Him and we will continue learning and growing forever too. So, perhaps he was seeing our continued development during the millennial reign.
If everything he saw happens prior to the Lord’s return, it would mean we still have another 43 years to go, which sounds like an eternity. Many people living today will still be alive then, but many others won’t be. For example, Barack Obama, whom many of us believe will play a key role in end time events, will be 99 years old in 2060, which is old, but sounds possible.
The promise of the Lord’s return gives us great hope for the future, but we still have much important work to do while we’re waiting. So, regardless of the timing, we must stay focused on our current assignments while resting in the awesome promises for the days to come.

I feel like we should be ready and have our houses in order regardless of our stance on pre-trib, mid-trib, or post trib simply because people die, it’s a fact, and for many there’s just no escaping that.
Totally right one sister. For we must respect the different stances many people hold on the timing of the rapture. Part of having our houses in order is being always ready to share the gospel “the hope” we have within. Soul winning has gone out, and been replaced by the self help gospel it appears.I believe in “self improvement” but not total self focused teaching which has invaded the churches. It seems we all have become “experts” in a lot of christian psychological techniques and tactics. Meanwhile the lost are perishing.
Believe it or not, there is no reason for a Christian to die. I know that the scripture says: “it is appointed unto man once to die”, but if “our old man is crucified with him”, then that is fulfilled. Christians have eternal life – a life that cannot die. It is only sin that kills a person. “Therefore brethren, if you live after the flesh, ye shall die. But if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”.
Amen! You should be writing articles! Jesus is coming soon and now is not a time to sleep, but be ready and always looking up. Jesus will come back for those who are in the light, but He will come back as a thief in the night for those who just want to eat, drink and be merry (Matthew 24:37-45)….Moses was given 7 days notice before the storm, God told Him before hand when the flood would happen. It is REALLY important to not reject God’s prophets and watchers at this very time. We ARE in the season and right now the wise virgins eagerly await the king. Don’t fall asleep and just assume that “oh, I got more time”…stay awake! Jesus loves you, be blessed brothers and sisters. The plane is about to take off, don’t miss your flight….it leaves at midnight, at the twinkling of an eye.🐑💞
Megs: Have you ever considered that the parable of the ten virgins is only talking about Christians? Five were wise and five were foolish. Nowhere in the Bible are the children of the world referred to as “virgins”. Most Christians today don’t even know what the “door” is, much less how to open it unto the Lord. When Jesus said “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man will hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him and sup with him”, he was speaking to the Church. The backslidden Church!
I am well aware that they are Christians, with the Holy Spirit. Thanks for looking out😇🐑💞
Where I live, I don’t know anyone who claims to be Christian that is aware that the five foolish virgins are Christians! It is good to know that there are others, like yourself, that know this is so.
Very well put Isabelle. Excellent.
Hi mate. Just wondering why you think our mate Titus was rerering to a rapture and not the physical return to earth of Jesus when he mentions the blessed hope. Thanks.
The rapture and the physical return of Jesus are simultaneous events
But that would be like me living on the opposite side of the street to Jesus and He calls me over to His house and as I get to His front door He comes out and walks me bsck over to my house.
Isabella , actually you’re over looking many passages. To say its James opinion that things written in bible haven’t transpired yet is both incredibly naive & wrong. Its laid out very clear for eyes that want to see. !!
Thank you James for tour website and all you do…you and z3 readers are in my daily prayers….but unfortunately I don’t believe many Americans will be here till 2060 and the removal of God’s protection on our nation….Our nation is ungrateful to our God and we do deserve the judgement that will come upon us. Personally speaking I had to fall in order to be close to God I had to suffer before I repented and hunger to be with Christ. …unfortunately our nation has to go what I went through on a national level….the writing is on the wall Harvey irma Las Vegas burning of the western States earthquake in Mexico hurricane Nate the immigration of Muslims without being checked into our nation for some reason building the wall that trump wants is to late the wolves are in our country….a few months ago I read 500 propane tanks were stolen…..I have not heard a follow up for those propane tanks…..it is only a matter of time before the false economic belief in the almighty dollar collapses and the citizens of our nation will all be suffering. ….I am starting and learning to Praise God durinf the good and bad times and to depend on him to show me what way to go….Now is the time to be united with our maker now is the time to read the Bible…I am starting to memorize verses because one day I may not have a bible……
Phil Titus… amen brother! Folks always say God postponing judgment is a good thing, as it gives people more time to repent. Well, they won’t (in my opinion) for the very reasons you stated. People will only regard God when they are in deep troubles, such is who we are. Scripture tells us when God’s judgments are in the earth, the people learn righteousness.
Yes, to be thankful in all things is truly the will of God. In Christ we will never ever have a bad day again, if we understand Romans 8:28 in the depth of our spirit. ALL things, even shipwreck will work together for our good – because we have Abba for our Father! Who can be against us?
Anastasia: Very true. There is one way that the Church can avoid the judgment of God. “If we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged”. This doesn’t mean simply acknowledging our sins, but of bringing our bodies under subjection to the Spirit. Either we can do it with fasting, or God will do it for us. And the scourging of God is something terrible! Most of Gods people will go by way of the grave, unfortunately.
Thanks Phil. Glad to hear you are back on track with God.
After examining the list…….It’s clear that many of those things are a result of the other and can happen within a short period of time. Even the building of the Temple will not take that long, for they have the blueprint and materials prepared in readiness with modern cranes and technology. The rapid succession of the list can easily happen in near time of seven to ten years. In my view, by 2060 the Millennial Reign will have already been in place for a good many years.
Does it have to be an actual temple mate. They can just wack a tent up in minutes like they did in the desert with a holy of holies and all that. Although I have heard unconfirmed reports that they have the stones cut in Haifa and all the utensils ready. It will be a sad day when the Jews slaughter that first sacrifice.
The Scripture does say “sitteth in the Temple of God”, so it matters not to me if it’s a tent or a building. The first animal sacrifice will be sad indeed, but not for the animal, for in the Law, the Priests are not suppose to waste it, but to eat it……so the lamb, goat or ox will not be a victim. But it will be sad to see it because it will represent that the Natural Branch is still blinded to the true “once and for all” Blood atonement sacrifice of God’s dear Son……of which you know very well for yourself. And in regards to the Holy of Holies…….if indeed they locate and trot out the original Ark of the Covenant…the presence of God will not accompany it as He did the days before Jesus……So the term Holy of Holies will seem a little hollow………..Shalom mate.
Indeed mate. I only meant from the point if view that it doesnt matter how late in the daty it gets a tent can be erected much quicker than a stone construct. Personally I believe the Israelis gave the ark. Amen mate.
Can you imagine what the response of the world will be when the Jews rebuild the temple and actually sacrifice an animal! The modern world will be horrified. “Such cruelty!” I wonder if that isn’t when the prophesy of Zech.14:2 won’t come to pass. “I will gather all nations against Jerusalem..”
around 2030 – 2033 , Jesus ‘s second coming
our are in the 6986 , there is 14 years to 7000
I believe you are right. Jesus was resurrected most likely in either 29 or 33AD, and that was at 4000 AD. Therefore His return is somewhere between 2029 and 2033. If 2033, then the Rapture happens before the last 3 and a half years (great tribulation – wrath of God), which is Feast of Trumpets 2027, plus or minus a few years.
Oops- I meant 4000 years from the beginning of man.
I mean 5986 . 14 years to 6000
“God wanted me to be more focused on getting my House in order”. . . I have to smile because, for several months, I have been frantically sorting out and cleaning my home because I felt this urgency to get it my house in order. Then one day it dawned on me: get my SPIRITUAL house in order. 🙂 Thank you so much for your words because it is a confirmation to me. I have been somewhat upset at all the date setting because I have been fearful of the effect on the baby Christian and the unbelievers. There is so much prophesy to yet to be fulfilled that we don’t need date setting, we need focus! That focus must me on God.
Getting one’s house in order is key. I encourage all to do so.
Amen Matt. Another point to consider is that is doesn’t HAVE to be the “official tribulation period” to experience financial collapse or war. If the Lord is telling you to (physically and spiritually) prepare for either of those situations in order that you may be set up to bring others to safety as well, do so without being concerned that it has to line up with end time events. It doesn’t have to be part of the end time scenario for those things to take place.
Amen! One could lose their job in a booming economy, and go through a Job moment. One could be in war or under a oppressive regime like N. Korea. Many forget the tribulation hasn’t happened yet, and those Christians in N. Korea, Syria, Iran…etc are going through right now, more concerned about their own personal rapture, than the big rapture.
They want to make sure their house is in order, because they could be killed by persecution at any time, more quicker than those in other nations, such as America.
We don’t think of death as much in America, as other Christians in other oppressive nations do. We have a whole lot more freedom in this nation, compared those in oppressive nations. They only time death hits home, in this nation is when a: celebrity, close friend, or family member dies. Then we are ready to call the life insurance agency for quotes, and talk death.
Other oppressive countries they talk death all the time. Because their spouse/parent/child could walk out the door, as a Christian, with a higher probability of never being seen or heard from again. They could be dead and never find out. This is the reality of many martyrs. Their love ones leave out, and they speak to their family regularly this could be my last time.
Many in this nation can take a lesson from those oppressed, because when real tribulation hits this country, they will have taught their family to be prepared. Also, it will teach to have their spiritual house in order, even if they never see oppressive tribulation here in America.
Spot on, as always Matt.
Matt,
Well said!
Great point Matt.
In a way saying it won’t happen for another 40 years is date setting. If others feel that were in the season. Who is anybody to judge! And no I don’t agree when people set actual dates. But you also can’t say it’s another 40 years.
Another thing, I don’t feel powerless and frightned, my life is not on hold. I’m just tired of all the sin in the world! Yes, I do want to escape. I long for Jesus to return, daily. This world is awful. Yes it gives me peace to know that Jesus will return soon. I can’t wait.
Jesus told us we would be able to recognize the season of His return just like knowing summer is near when we see leaves budding on a fig tree (Matthew 24:32). So we are encouraged and expected to recognize the season, but in the same passage, He said we would not know the exact day or hour (Matthew 24:36). So there’s a big difference between those who set specific dates for the Lord’s return versus the general timeframe Bob Jones shared. One is unscriptural while the other is right in line with what Jesus told us to do.
I’m glad you’re holding onto the hope of His return. That’s a great promise for all of us to believe and look forward to seeing. My only point was let’s not throw out the rest of the Bible in the meantime.
I think you have a point, and a good one at that. There must be a good reason that God does not want us to set dates.
Thank you.
As I sat and read this my heart which belongs to Jesus let me know that our time is up and the tribulation period is beginning shortly. We have the volenteering of many around the world taken the chip(dann their selves for easy pleasure). We see the fall of Babylon right before our eyes. We see even now Jesus name is no longer allowed anywhere. Jeremiah 51 is upon us sooner then we think. In a 100 years the world will be no humans here. We are truly forgetting the mysteries that danial had to seal up. Their now coming to light. I just can’t lead myself to look at dates setters. Jesus said if he didn’t shorten time there wouldn’t be any flesh left. Think about that.. Just pray and be watchful as Jesus said. Find your selves and your family worthy of is mercy and grace and protection for men hearts will fail them from things that will come UPON the earth (giants, fallen angels, nibru Satan’s army will literally walk the earth while we are still here)
I’ll add that I did a video on preparing for the tribulation, whatever your rapture position, if you are interested. I believe these times will soon be upon us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqSzxuqSerw&t=25s The peace of the Lord be with you. Christopher.
Interesting “calm before the storm” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awor60zz5wo
Brother, regarding the the prophetic timing, I believe all the prophecy timing from Terry, David Wilkerson, Church Young Brandt etc not really accurate already as Jesus mention He already shorten the days and the hours. The major events is still occur but not according to sequence of the prophecy. If we ares still 20-30 more years, why Jesus tell many that His coming sooner than we expected???
Christopher, I couldn’t agree more! You have the right heart and attitude, we must prepare ourselves in our heart for any hardships and persecutions that might come, even to die for our Lord, even if we believe, as I do too, that the Lord will come for his Bride before His wrath is poured out on the earth. And to continually work in His vineyard while we are waiting for our blessed hope, the joining with Him for eternity. I hope and pray to be accounted worthy to escape all things that are going to befall the world, but if I am not, I am still going to pursue Him and not deny His name, even if it means death, by the strength of His might.
God bless you and everyone who takes 1 Peter 1:13 to heart:
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
How does the 2060 year align with the Terry Bennett Angel Gabriel prophecy going to the 2020s and the 1 generation (70-80) years… since Israel became a nation in 1948? Also, how can we reach 2060 if this pope or the next is the final one aka false prophet and Obama is the Antichrist?
The only part that doesn’t fit with 2060 is Pope Francis being the false prophet. At 80 years old, he would have to live to 123, which is too hard to believe. Obama would turn 99 in 2060, so that could work. Terry Bennett’s timeline doesn’t tell what happens after 2028. That might be just the beginning of about 30 years of setting up the beast kingdom.
Reading this prophecy I can’t help but wonder about something. All of this is a process that has been ongoing since the beginning. Maybe Christ setting up His Kingdom after He returns is also going to entail a process. Take starting a business for example. The work isn’t done once you have the doors open so to speak. It’s actually just started. I can imagine once the King has returned, there is going to be a lot of work yet to do in regards to His Kingdom. I am by no means a Biblical Scholar or expert (I’m still learning) so this is just some food for thought and nothing more. Considering what Bob Jones said at the end of the prophecy I find it very interesting that the nwo went from Agenda21 to Agenda2030. Mr. Jones said, ” We know in the last days, some of these, that if you take their life, they have the power to raise it up again. I was seeing that kind of resurrection power in the Church in the last days. I don’t know when it will begin, but I really felt that it will begin in the 2030s.”
Great point Robert. Bob Jones might have been seeing beyond the end of this age and into the first 30 years of the next age.
Terry Bennet is saying we will see AC by 2028.
Period Three – The Rise of a One-World Religion
The final phase revealed to Terry occurs in 2022-2028. The predominant part of the governmental troubles will be in preparation for, particularly in Europe, the arising of the spirit of antichrist. What is coming is called the new world order, but behind that is the spirit of antichrist and the false prophet spirit with that. With that is coming a one-world religion.
Terry explained, “I was told it would be a combination of three world religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all brought together into a one-world religion. Those three would be combined as a compromise, a mixture. Each of those three religions believes in one god whereas other religions have many gods. The one-world religion will be presented as a solution that will bring peace, when in reality it will be a compromise and a mixture offered by Satan to turn the world away from the absoluteness that there is no other name under heaven whereby men can be saved than the name of Jesus Christ. Anybody who refuses to accept the new one-world religion will be labeled as a radical terrorist and a threat to world peace. As it goes forward it will move to murder. It will be declared by a religious leader in Europe that this person whom they will receive as their governmental leader is god, when in reality it is the antichrist”
I agree with what Terry Bennett saw because the beast kingdom must arise before the Lord returns, but Terry did not mention anything about the rapture or the return of the Lord, so I think it’s a mistake to assume it happens immediately after the beast kingdom is established.
I did not say everyone looking for the rapture is misguided, I simply pointed out one of the reasons why false teachings about the rapture are so popular is because they say what we all want to hear, all our troubles will instantly be gone. We must be able to prove it from the scriptures, not just believe it because it sounds good.
Regarding Obama, as I pointed out he would turn 99 in 2060, which is old, but surely not impossible. It is only 43 years away, not 60 years.
Dear James, Perhaps the teaching about the restoration of all things is how Bob Jones prophecy fits in with this discussion. When Rick Joyner was
considering building a physical building at Morning Star the Lord Jesus admonished him to build it so that it would last a thousand years. I appreciate that you require Scripture to be the foundation in these discussions. Blessings
Good point Michael.
Bible says people will seek death, but it will elude them. Makes me think extended life will be given maybe in the mark….that would mean age makes no difference. I’ll save my opinion on the timeline bc you’ve already gotten an ear full haha. I pray protection to both your heart and your time as both are very valuable
By the great grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, In May 2014, He showed me in a vision the third temple in Jerusalem. In a separate dream he showed me that He is the one who will give the Jews the blueprints ( I was a discussion with JPJ). Over one year later in July of 2015, the Temple Institute for the first time ever (in history) released designs of the third temple. It is exactly what I was shown in 2014. In the video what I saw is at the 21-23 sec mark.
https://youtu.be/A2IkxmwkayM
We have many souls to save for the Kingdom of God. For this gospel of the Kingdom of God will be preached in all the earth , then the end will come. When you see the foundations of the third temple being laid it is a sign post that we are in the last of the last days ( less than 7 years). Look up to the Lord Jesus Christ for our redemption draws nigh. I have heard 2025-2029. No one knows the day or hour, but the third temple is the final clock.
Rev 11:1-2..I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
Shalom
Hi Phanuel,
Dr. Robert Mawire suggested that 2026 will be the year – https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xgN0t4x67K0
Best,

*I was having a discussion with JPJ
Thanks for preparing this list…Personally I’d like to stick around long enough to realize some victory in my own life…to finally make it to a place where I’m overcoming sin and self centredness and actually living a genuine life based on actively loving others more than Im not…I need more time to begin building my retirement fund in heaven! …2060 sounds like a long way off for sure…but it wouldn’t be out of the question…the main thing is quality…I’ve wasted so many years on worthless pursuits…even a couple good years could net a huge return beyond my imagination…afterall look at what Jesus accomplished in a mere 3.5 years!!!
Robert M, you may want to check out some of the videos of Dan Mohler on Youtube. His teaching has been very instrumental in transforming my life into such an overcomer as you are desiring for yourself. Sometimes we just need a change of perspective, or to “see clearly” as Dan puts it. If your eye is single, your whole body is full of light.
