EHC September 2019

September 2019

My beloved EHC friend, I'm writing to you as one of the Every Home for Christ friends and supporters, one who is very committed to God. I sense these days are like the days that Jesus spoke about when he said in Matthew 24:14 "This Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

It's amazingly true but in the midst of all the world's trouble, the gospel is going to the whole world and in Every Home for Christ we have a plan to take the Gospel to the whole world and we are doing something we have never done before; we are striving to get the Gospel to every house in the entire world as quickly as possible and we are asking our staff across the world to map out every house in the world so that we can take the Gospel to them soon because we believe the end is near!

We are doing as Jesus told us, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Matthew 28:19-20 Thank you so much for your prayer and concern in getting the Gospel to everybody.

Jesus is coming!

Eric Leach Executive Director Every Home for Christ

In 1970, Hal Lindsey published “The Late Great Planet Earth”.The book sold millions of copies and introduced a generation to the miraculous fulfillment of end times bible prophecies in our day and time.

Coming on the heels of World War II, the rebirth of Israel, the Six Day War, and widespread societal upheaval, many were convinced the rapture would take place before the end of the decade. But the 1970's came and went and Jesus did not return.

Then, in the 1980's and 1990's, numerous bible prophecy books with titles like "Countdown to Armageddon" and "Final Warning" sold all over the world. Again, many people were convinced Jesus would return before the end of the century. Yet Jesus didn't come.

Then the world experienced Y2K, the September 11th terrorist attacks and the phenomenal success of the “Left Behind” series. Once again, it seemed as though Jesus would return at any moment. But once again, he didn't. And then something happened. Complacency set in.

Because Jesus hadn’t come, many Christians began to openly doubt whether He ever would. Why? I believe there are at least two reasons. First, we live in a culture that demands instant gratification. We don’t like to wait as little as two minutes for a microwave to cook a meal it took our grandparents half a day to prepare. We’re impatient, and we’re used to getting what we want when we want.

End Times Burnout The second reason is the errant predictions of date setters. False prophets told the world Jesus would return on specific dates - even though Jesus said “no one knows the day or hour” (Matthew 24:36). The media gives widespread attention to these predictions. When these days come and go, the false prophets are exposed.

This leads to ridicule of bible prophecy, and in some cases, even Christian leaders publicly dismiss bible prophecy as a playground for crackpots and the ignorant. But these critics forget false prophets made these claims, not the Bible. The Bible’s track record remains perfect. In fact, the Bible predicted this complacency long ago.

The Bible Said This Would Happen Almost two thousand years ago, Peter issued a warning. He said in the last days people will deny the signs we see today. He said they'll mock the idea of Jesus returning. They'll make fun of those who believe in the Second Coming and say the exact things we hear today things like, "I thought Jesus was coming back? What happened to His promise?”

Generation after generation has said He's coming. Yet, since the beginning of the world, everything has remained the same! (2 Peter 3:3-4). You've probably heard variations of this complaint yourself. Maybe you've heard it in church. But is it true? No. It's not. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Are Things The Same As They've Always Been?

To say the world is the same today as in years past - that we don't live in unique times is just not true. More than any other generation, ours has reason to expect the Second Coming. Jesus and the prophets said to look for specific signs heralding the end times. For over 1,800 years, you couldn't find one of the signs they said to look for. Today, in one form or another, you can find all of them.

Here are just a few examples: The Jewish People Back in the Land - God promised to bring the Jewish people back into the land of Israel before He returned (Jeremiah 23:7-8). He said He would call them from “among the nations” (Ezekiel 39:28), from “the farthest corners of the earth” (Isaiah 11:12), and from “north, south, east, and west” (Psalm 107:3). He promised to welcome them home from the lands where they were scattered (Ezekiel 20:34). When they did, He promised to return and establish His everlasting kingdom (Isaiah 11:11-12). For 1,878 years (A.D. 70 to A.D. 1948), the Jewish people lived in exile. On May 14, 1948, they re-established the nation of Israel, fulfilling God’s promise to bring them back into the land.

The Jewish People Back in Jerusalem - Jesus prophesied armies would surround Jerusalem, destroy the city, and enslave its citizens. In A.D. 70 the Roman legions fulfilled this prophecy. In the days that followed, Jesus said Gentiles would control Jerusalem until “the times of the Gentiles are over.” Then the Jewish people would once again take control of Jerusalem. When they did, Jesus promised to return (Luke 21:24-28). In June 1967, the Jewish people retook control of Jerusalem.

The Gospel Preached Throughout the World - When the disciples asked about the end of the age and the signs of His coming, Jesus told them to look for a very specific sign. He said the Gospel will be preached throughout the entire world. Every nation will hear it. Then, the end will come (Matthew 24:14). For centuries after the crucifixion, the Gospel mostly reached a small area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. But in the past two centuries, Christians carried the Gospel to every country on earth. Today, missionaries live in every nation. The Bible is translated into hundreds of languages and the message of Jesus is sent around the world by radio, TV, satellite, and the Internet. Our generation is the first one on the verge of spreading the Gospel to every last person on earth.

Increased Travel and Knowledge - Six hundred years before Jesus, an angel gave Daniel a special message. He said “travel and knowledge” will increase in the end times (Daniel 12:4). For centuries of human history, dramatic gains in travel and knowledge did NOT take place. Yet the last two hundred years have seen explosions in the speed and frequency of travel as well as the amount and availability of knowledge. For example, up until around two hundred years ago, a man could travel only as fast as a horse could carry him.

Today we can travel faster than the speed of sound. Many consider the Library of Alexandria to be the greatest collection of written knowledge in the ancient world. While we don’t know for sure how much knowledge was housed there, some estimates say it was as many as 500,000 papyrus scrolls. Two thousand years ago this was the height of human knowledge. Today, you probably have a bigger library in your pocket. Your smartphone can download almost any book that’s ever been written in a matter of seconds. Our generation is experiencing an exponential increase in travel and knowledge.

Israel Surrounded by Enemies - According to the Bible, enemies will surround Israel in the end times. Those enemies will say “Come, let us wipe away the nation of Israel. Let’s destroy the memory of its existence” (Psalm 83:4) and “Let us take for ourselves these pasturelands of God” (Psalm 83:12). Ezekiel said Israel’s neighbours will say “God has given their land to us” (Ezekiel 11:14‐17), and “Israel and Judah are ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care if their God is there?” (Ezekiel 35:10). Ever since the rebirth of Israel in 1948, the daily headlines have included these exact sentiments. Israel’s Muslim neighbours claim the land of Israel for themselves, and they have no regard for the God of Israel.

4

Israel’s Exceedingly Great Army - Ezekiel said, in the last days, Israel will field “an exceedingly great army” (Ezekiel 37:10). Zechariah said Israel will be like a fire among sheaves of grain, burning up the neighbouring nations (Zechariah 12:6) and even the weakest Israeli soldier will be like David (Zechariah 12:8). Since 1948, Israel has fought no less than four conventional wars against its neighbors. Despite being outnumbered more than 50 to 1, Israel has achieved overwhelming victory every time.

Rise of the Gog of Magog Alliance - The Bible says a military alliance that includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel “in the latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8) when God brings His people home from among the enemy nations (Ezekiel 39:27).

Today, we see those exact nations coming together. The alliance they form today is an alliance that has never existed in world history.

Rise of a United Europe - The Bible says a revived Roman Empire will come to power in the end times (Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17). According to Daniel, it will be a ten nation alliance of weak and strong nations. Some parts will be as strong as iron, while other parts will be as weak as clay (Daniel 2:42).

We see the initial stages of this alliance in the European Union - the legal and culture inheritor of the Roman Empire’s legacy. The EU today is a coalition of both weak and strong nations. A volatile alliance, it struggles to stay together.

The Rise of Global Government - The Bible says a single government will rule the world politically (Revelation 13:7), religiously (Revelation 13:8), and economically (Revelation 13:16-17) in the last days. It will rule over “all people, tribes, and languages” on the face of the earth (Revelation 13:7). Its authority will be so complete no one will be able to buy or sell anything without its permission (Revelation 13:16-17). For centuries, a true global government was impossible. Today, world leaders openly discuss it, and the technology exists to implement and rule such a government.

Alone, each of these signs indicate the end times are near. Together, they prove ours is the end times generation. Jesus Himself said to look for these signs. He said when you see them, you can know His return is near (Matthew 24:33).

In fact, He said the generation that sees these signs will not pass away before He returns (Matthew 24:34). This convergence of signs is the #1 reason to believe our generation is on the verge of witnessing the Second Coming.

But instead of getting excited and ramping up our efforts to spread the Gospel, the Christian church is mostly silent on the issue. A large part of the church is complacent, and the Bible warned about this as well.

It’s Time to Stay Awake The night before the crucifixion, Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane. He went to be alone and pray. But before He did, Jesus asked the apostles to stay up and pray with Him. He warned them not to fall asleep. Nevertheless, they did. They were finally awakened when soldiers arrived to arrest Jesus.

In a similar way, Jesus warned us not to be caught sleeping when He returns (Mark 13:36). To illustrate, He told a story of ten bridesmaids. Of the ten bridesmaids, five were foolish and five were wise. The five foolish bridesmaids didn’t take enough oil for their lamps when they went to wait for the bridegroom. When they left to buy more oil, the bridegroom came and they missed out on the marriage feast. Jesus warned us not to be like the foolish bridesmaids. He said, “You, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return” (Matthew 25:1-13).

In another parable, Jesus once again commanded us to watch: “You, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know when the master of the household will return. It could be evening, midnight, dawn, or daybreak. Don’t let the master find you sleeping when he arrives without warning” (Mark 13:35-37).

Personally, I’ve written about the nearness of the Second Coming for over 13 years.

Obviously Jesus didn’t return in those 13 years, but none of the reasons to expect His return have gone away. In fact, the opposite is true. The reasons to expect Jesus to return at any moment have markedly increased.

Yet to great amazement, many Christians seem more complacent and ignorant of the signs than ever. Why? I don’t know. But I’ll continue to sound the alarm, and you should too. The Bible says if we recognize the signs and don’t tell others about them, we’re no different than a watchman who sees an invading army and doesn’t sound the alarm. If we fail in our role as watchmen, God says He will hold us accountable for all those who perish (Ezekiel 33:1-6).

All the signs Jesus and the prophets said to look for are present right now. For almost 2,000 years, no Christian could say that. Our generation is an eyewitness to signs previous Christians could only dream about.

If the signs are telling us the Tribulation and the Second Coming are near, then it means the rapture is even closer. Don’t fall asleep, and don’t let anyone around you fall asleep.

It’s never been more important to stay awake. Jesus is coming!

Jesus is coming!

Join Us on the Journey to the Last Home

by Dick Eastman, International President

In the immediate years ahead, Every Home for Christ is putting all of our strategies, our resources and our energy behind one rallying cry — to reach every home on Earth in 20 years! Yet the OIKOS Initiative does not belong to us alone, as we firmly believe the task of global evangelization can only be done in unity with the Body of Christ. Our conviction is that every Christ follower has a personal harvest within the OIKOS Initiative. So we invite you to link arms and join us on the journey.

The OIKOS Initiative is our strategic plan to reach every family on Earth with the Gospel by the end of 2038. This could be the most significant initiative I’ve been a part of in my 31 years as International President! Such an undertaking may seem intimidating, but the same Holy Spirit who empowered the Early Church to spread the Gospel across the Roman world is also empowering us.

The New Testament Greek word oikos signifies a house, a family or a household. In essence, it’s a word that means “home.” In Acts 5:42, Luke uses this word to describe the activity of the Early Church: “And daily in the temple, and in every house [oikos], they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.” The first Every Home Campaign took place in Jerusalem!

The word also appears in Matthew 24:14, when Jesus says,“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.” The word translated as “the whole world” is oikoumene, or “every inhabited place.” Again, God is sending His people to every home!

Clearly, reaching every home with the Gospel is a goal that comes straight from the Lord’s heart — and it is our singular obsession at Every Home for Christ. Since 1946, Every Home for Christ has taken the Gospel to over 2.1 BILLION homes and received over 219 MILLION responses to the Gospel!

We’ve reached homes everywhere from high-rise metropolitan apartments to cardboard shacks in garbage dumps. We’ve even reached jungle pygmies who lived in trees by conducting what we affectionately called an “Every Tree Crusade.”

“This could be the most significant initiative I’ve been a part of in my 31 years as International President!”

I remember when Jack McAlister, the then President of Every Home for Christ, recruited me to be the EHC Director of Prayer Mobilisation in 1975.

We had been dreaming together about how mobilising a global prayer force to intercede for the field could lead to an unimaginable harvest. With excitement in his eyes and intensity in his voice, Jack leaned over his desk and said, “This will change the world, Dick. This will really change the world!”

How right he was! And we praise the Lord with grateful hearts for all He has accomplished through this amazing heritage.

But the task is not yet complete, and a new generation is taking up the baton.

So I invite you to walk with us — in every way possible — to “the last home on Earth!” We may not know exactly when we will reach it, but God does. When that happens, God can turn to Gabriel and say, “You’ve held that trumpet long enough. You can blow it now!” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

ETHIOPIA In its essence, the OIKOS Initiative is seen most clearly in the lives of one transformed household — a home like Wannaguta and Wahguy’s. When Wannaguta was a boy, his father used to come home drunk and violent. To escape abuse, Wannaguta dropped out of school and ran away. Soon he married Wahguy and started a family of his own. Wahguy’s parents welcomed him with open arms, and he felt as if he had a clean start.

But sadly, his father’s legacy had left its mark. Wannaguta drank a lot, and he spent most of his time away from his family, neglecting his kids.

When he thought about the direction his life was headed, he felt depressed and worthless.

“I became my father,” he says.

When Wannaguta met Pastor Brookti in the streets of their town, he cursed her openly. But against his better judgement, he read the EHC gospel literature she left behind. He remembers that it talked about a God who loved him so much that He had died to rescue him. Because Wannaguta lived in a small community, he kept running into Pastor Brookti, and she kept sharing the Gospel with him and inviting him to church. Finally, he gave in and went with her. He was compelled by the loving God he encountered there.

“I didn’t want Him,” he says. “I didn’t love Him. But He loved me. He showed me mercy when I didn’t deserve it. It was an unconditional love that I had never seen — not from my earthly father, not from my mother, not from anyone.”

This love started to change Wannaguta’s life, but he was afraid to tell Wahguy. He knew that his wife’s family was strongly opposed to Christianity and that he would risk losing his place in their family if he

admitted his growing faith in Jesus. So he started hinting at his conversion in roundabout ways.

“It was a process. I would maybe read her something from the Bible and share little bits of it. I phrased it like, ‘You know, I heard these things about Jesus…’”

But it was already too late. One of Wannaguta’s relatives spied him entering the local church and told Wahguy’s parents that he was a Christian. In response, Wahguy’s parents threatened to disown her unless she left Wannaguta.

“It was a really hard time for me,” Wahguy says. “I had to choose between my husband and my family.”

She trusted Wannaguta, even though she didn’t understand his choice to follow Jesus. In the coming days, they had many conversations about Jesus, and Wahguy started going to church with her husband. Even as her family followed through on their threats, she experienced a love that went beyond anything she had ever known. And the change she saw in Wannaguta was undeniable.

“I have completely changed,” Wannaguta says. “The attention that I didn’t get from my father, I give it to my kids now.”

Wannaguta has become a new father, a new husband. The Gospel transformed his entire household.
