The Second Coming of Jesus Where We Are on God’s Timetable By Chuck Kennedy, Pastor Bradenton, FL — Jesus said, “Oh ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Matthew 16.3B Jesus was referring to the people of that day having skill to forecast the weather but a rebuke for their inability to recognize the spiritual season. Today we are also very skillful at natural things, forecasting weather, studying and predicting financial markets, psychology of behavior, body language and the like, but are we overlooking the most important thing? The spiritual season we presently are in.

Where are we on God’s timetable today in regards to the Second Coming of Jesus? Now I am not a money grubber predicting we can know the day or hour of the Lord’s return. I am however of the firm belief that we are to know the season of His return. Consider these prophetic events to help you determine where we are on God’s Prophetic Timetable today. 1.

land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. Despite having been exiled for many centuries, many Jews returned to Israel and reclaimed sovereignty over a portion of their ancient homeland. Although the Arabs and nations bigger than them were angered and warred against tiny Israel, they did not prevail
Ever since the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Arab nations have refused to accept Israel as an independent state. In spite of catching the Israelis off guard by attacking on a Sabbath day in June, 1967, and in spite of outnumbering them by at least 50:1, the Arabs suffered complete defeat in just six days. The most significant fact of the war being that the Old City of Jerusalem, which was until then in the hands of Jordan, came into Jewish possession. Thus, once again, amazing Bible prophecies were fulfilled. Luke 21.24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be Continued on page 8

But even after visiting many temples, there was no improvement in my son. “In the month of January 2013, we took him to a hospital, and it was diagnosed that my son was affected with leukemia. “There is a woman named Pavitra working in the same hospital where my son was admitted; she happened to be a Christian. She came to know about our condition and shared about Jesus as the only healer. She also asked us to listen to a GFA Radio program broadcasted in our language. “One morning in January, I tuned my radio to the station and listened to the GFA Radio program, which

Within a few weeks of time, he started to walk, play with his friends, and eat food. Again, we took him to the hospital for a checkup, and he was found cancer-free after the diagnosis. We praised God for that, and we [decided to follow] Jesus. Daily, we are praying to God, and this is our desire: that we will serve the Lord Jesus. Now we are attending a church nearby. “Please pray for my son continuously, and also pray for our family.”
