The evidence of the last day

The evidence of the last day IN Taiwan, a girl knew God by accident. She was so fond of hearing God’s gospel that she often went to church to hear pastors’ sermons. By doing so, she hoped she could get much closer to God. A pastor once preached the sermon on “The Last Day” and it was all about a variety of prophecies, shown signs and how God had been admonishing people in this world that the last day is approaching. This girl could hardly come into understanding what the pastor said; even worse, she felt shocked and puzzled greatly because she just came to God for a short while and it was the first time for her to hear about the message regarding “The Last Day”. She wondered “Is that really true? Are human beings about to confront God’s judgment?” She was so eager to know about “The Last Day” that she got started to pray to God with all her heart, asking God to let her understand what “The Last Day” is all about and how the judgment mankind will confront is like. She firmly believed that God would tell her or reveal her. For several consecutive days, she kept praying to ask God to clarify the puzzlement in her mind. One midnight, while she was having dreams, all of a sudden a clear voice came to her: “68 for sure, 68 for sure, 68 for sure.” The words are spoken for three consecutive times and the girl knew it was God who imparted

this revelation to her; however, she was born from a poor family and she was not that educated so that she could not understand what “68 for sure” really meant. All she could do was to keep praying and ask God to let her understand the contents of this revelation more. Two more days passed away, while she was praying, in the air the exactly same voice came to her, clearly saying “Open your Bible.” No sooner had she heard such a clear revelation than she rushed to open her Bible to page 68 (the Chinese Bible). All she could see was that it is clearly written: (Some parts of the contents in page 68 of Chinese Bible go as follows.)
Get started from Mark 13:15 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 13:2 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 13:34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house

cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
This girl felt much touched on account of the revelation God imparted to her. She knew this was God’s feedback to her; that is, God answered her plea. From then on, she was getting more devoted to God and she believed in God was more firmly. However, she didn’t know she should share this testimony with others to make more people hear the gospel and receive God’s salvation. She’d just been bearing it in her mind and on her guard all the time that she should trust in God and by no means leave God. Two years passed by, there was a Malaysian pastor coming to Taiwan to preach the gospel. This girl headed to listening to his sermons. As soon as the pastor saw her, he asked her: “How come you didn’t speak out God’s revelation for you to be God’s witness?” This girl could grasp what the pastor meant on the spot. After going home, she meditated on this for a long time and it suddenly dawned on her that what the pastor indicated was the revelation that she’d asked God about “The Last Day” and that God wanted her to delve into page 68 in the Bible. She’s just not known she should be God’s witness so that she never mentioned it. Later, this girl worked for Ploughman Association by chance. Ploughman Association is right specialized in studying about “The Last Day.” The girl came to understand this coincidence is God’s arrangement for her. Therefore, she began dedicating herself to all sorts of ministries in Ploughman Association and learning how
6
The evidence of the last day

to be God’s witness. Owing to her understanding about “The Last Day”, she kept spreading various information concerning “The Last Day”, hoping that through God’s revelation for her, people in this world could understand the last day is approaching, there’ll be a judgment after death, and people can receive God’s salvation through believing God. The girl’s testimony mentioned above testifies God’s revelation. 1. Through all Bible verses, only the verses of the phenomena and revelation about the last day written and illustrated in Make 13: 15~37; namely, page 68 were the most clear. There is no other clarifying chapters or verses like this. 2. While God was revealing to her, He said “68 for sure, 68 for sure, 68 for sure.” For three consecutive times. Why God didn’t say one time, two times, four times? Why he said three times instead? It’s because “three” is God’ s number for completion. There are a lot of illustrations of God’s three-time revelations written in the Bible. 3. Not until did the Malaysian pastor come to Taiwan to preach the gospel, saying “How come you didn’t mention what God revealed to you?” that it dawned on her after long meditation that what the pastor indicated was that God revealed “68 for sure” to her two years ago. She just didn’t know she should be God’s witness, so she didn’t mention it to people. Is that an coincidence? On no account is a coincidence. It’s God that imparted this revelation to this Malaysian pastor. Through him, people who have received God’s revelation are reminded to be God’s witnesses.

4. There are one hundred thousands of companies in Taiwan, but the girl just came to this group, Ploughman Association, which specializes in studying “The Last Day”, to work for. Dear readers, do you think it’s amazing? Not at all is this coincidence just a coincidence. It’s God’s arrangement! It’s God’s will. 5. Why didn’t so many pastors. Leaders and doctors receive God’s revelation like this? Instead, why did God impart this revelation to this ordinary girl? According to our tracing back and understanding, in order to believe in God, this sister can’t acquire her families’ recognition and consideration and she was even persecuted to give up this faith by her families. To be able to continue believing in God, she could but leave home temporarily so God rewarded her with this revelation, just as it is written in the Bible: “ The Last Day is revealed to the little and worthless, but is hidden from the wise and learned. 6. Why did God use her? To insist on the faith, this girl was forced to leave home, as it is written: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for there is the kingdom of heaven.” * Only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21~27) "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Dear friends, getting into the kingdom of

In June 1992, in an effort to save the planet, President Clinton and leaders of 141 countries held an emergency conference on the Ozone hole in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Illustration: 111 There are three Ozone holes and each of them is as big as U.S. territory. 222 Ultraviolet rays increase significantly as a result of these ozone holes, and lead to the following problems: 333 An increase in the number of skin cancer patients; the United States alone has 4 million patients. 444 Blindness in sheep: 2 million cases in New Zealand; 3 million cases in South America. 555 Food, agricultural protein and starch synthesis function damaged. 666 Reduction in marine algae; whales engage in group suicide

due to lack of food. 777 Climate anomalies, significant increases in droughts and floods. 888 Greenhouse effect will cause icebergs in the South Pole to melt, leading to a 65 to 100 cm rise in sea level; most Pacific islands will become uninhabitable.
(2) Nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons, nuclear radiation 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Illustration: 111 The combined nuclear weapons in the world can destroy the earth 50 times over. 222 If the global nuclear weapons storage capacity is evenly distributed among the world’s population, each person is estimated to receive at least 150 tons of TNT (dynamite). 333 The sinking of the US-Soviet atomic submarine led to radioactive leakage, which caused major pollution, physical abnormalities of microbes, red tide, and gradual death of fish populations. 444 The harmful effects of radiation and radioactive dust from atomic and nuclear testing on biological life can last a hundred years. 555 Exposure to high levels of radiation from nuclear waste result

in harmful, genetic mutation. 666 Following the Russian nuclear power plant explosion, the atomic radiation released caused damage to all food and human physiological functions within a 120-km area. 777 The Soviet Chernobyl nuclear power plant reactor explosion and subsequent nuclear leakage resulted in an estimated death toll between tens to hundreds of thousands. Moreover, three years later, the aftereffect of radiation exposure could still be seen 300 kilometers north of Chernobyl: child anemia, exercise dysfunction, exhaustion, and vitamin deficiency. 888 A chemical explosion at a Russian nuclear weapon factory destroyed the waste storage tanks, resulting in pollution that covered a 1,000km2 area.
(3) El Niño Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 The biggest El Niño of the century brought major storms, droughts, forest fires and floods to many countries. The forest fire in Indonesia was the most destructive, burning for three months and creating smog that harmed Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. 222 El Niño has significant impact on climate, and can cause natural disasters such as droughts and floods.

333 The British Meteorological Bureau states that El Niño will cause the Pacific Ocean sea-temperature to rise to an all-time high, initiating a series of climatic disasters. 444 El Nino caused the weather in Australia to become more arid than normal, leading to a decline in wheat production.
555 The minister of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Philippines stated that as the El Nino weather is causing persistent drought, Manila City has started a water supply quota. 666 The 9.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Indonesia’s Aceh province on December 26, 2004, created a tsunami that devastated South Asian countries. Expert opinion states that this was tied to the El Nino phenomenon; the Arctic icebergs melted due to global warming, causing a rise in sea water level.
(4) Acid Rain Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 In 1980, statistics from the United States and Canada pointed out that more than 50,000 people have died of acid rain pollution. 222 Half of the 5,000 lakes in southern Norway have acidified, leading to the disappearance of aquatic life.

333 Over half of the 17,059 lakes in the US have been impacted by acid rain, and all shellfish have died out. 444 Acid rain is extremely harmful to water quality, soil, forest, and buildings. Acid rain cause cracks in man-made statues. 555 Acid rain causes the disappearance of tropical rain forests and endangers wildlife. 666 36,000 km of forest in the US and Canada are threatened by acid rain. 777 In China, 40 million acres of farmland have been damaged by acid rain, resulting in annual losses of over US$400 million. 888 More than 4,000 lakes in Canada have been declared dead due to the devastating combined effects of acid rain and other pollution.
(5) Dwindling tropical rain forests Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 China’s forest area decreases by 22.5 million acres every year, 43 acres per minute. 222 Global tropical forest acreage decreases by 17 million acres every year; it is predicted that the tropical forests will be completely destroyed in 50 years. 333 Over half of the tropical rain forests in Ethiopia only have 2.5 acres remaining, resulting in great famine.

444 Annual deforestation in the tropical forests of Sarawak, Malaysia is equivalent to 1.5 times the area of Tokyo, Japan. 555 Biologists estimate that in tropical rain forests, 27,000 species become extinct each year. By 2020, 10 to 20 percent of 10 million species will disappear. 666 The tropical forest area is vanishing from the world at a rate of 1.5 acres per second.
(6) Water Pollution Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 Industrial wastewater and exhaust gas severely polluted the Rhine River, killing aquatic life. 222 In 1989, yellow phosphorus polluted a large area of the Yellow River basin, upriver of the Yangtze River, killing 220,000 kg of fish. 333 Major pollution of Russia’s Lake Baikal reduced aquatic life by more than 50%. 444 If water pollution is not controlled, 70% of China’s fresh water resources will become too contaminated to use by the year 2000. 555 In the 70s, Japan’s Seto Inland Harbor exuded egg-smelling sludge.

tide. The fishing industry was completely destroyed. 666 A section of the world-renowned Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Jiangsu Province has become black water, smelling of stench and void of life. 777 Because of water pollution, a group of 100 whales beached themselves onto the west coast of Australia. 888 China’s urban industrial wastewater and domestic sewage discharge amount to 36.8 billion tons, 97% of which is unprocessed and dumped into the rivers for irrigation purposes! 999 Every year, about 42.6 million cubic meters of sewage is discharged into rivers, streams and lakes around the world, causing 54 million cubic meters of water to be polluted. This polluted water accounts for 11% of the world’s water.
(7) Air Pollution Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 An explosion at a Swiss chemical plant caused several hundred tons of toxic substances to blanket the sky in thick, polluting smoke. 222 Denver, Colorado, USA: a hazardous yellow mist appears in mid-November each year. Denver has the highest level of carbon monoxide pollution in the United States.

333 Scientists have discovered that the air in heavily polluted regions in the world contain 25 kinds of harmful substances, which threatens the survival of human beings and other living creatures. 444 When the Kuwaiti oil fields were destroyed by Iraq, flaming smoke enveloped the sky. The wind further aggravated the air pollution by spreading the smoke. 555 The burning of bananas in Indonesia caused a forest fire that shrouded the skies of Southeast Asian countries in heavy smog. It led to frequent disasters and health problems. 666 Over 1 billion people in the world smoke. The harmful gases exhaled by the smoker not only increase other people’s cancer risks, but pollute the air as well.
(8) Population Growth and Food Shortages Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Illustration: 111 The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) stated that the world will be hit by a food crisis. 222 The death toll of the famine in Ethiopia is 48,400, ranked first in the world of deaths due to natural disasters. 333 In North Korea, drought caused the cracking of farmland and subsequent famine. 444 On average, one billion disaster victims are in starvation every year around the world.

555 UN Demographics estimate that by 2050, the world’s population could reach 10 billion to 12.5 billion. 666 Rapid population growth, especially in poor countries, and rising food prices push poor countries into further deficit. 777 China accounts for 22% of the world population, but only has 7% of the world’s arable land (95 million hectares). 888 The Population Research Institute in Washington announced that worldwide population growth is at a record high, while grain inventory is at its lowest since 1970.
(9) Noxious chemical contamination Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” Illustration: 111 At least one million fish were killed by chemical insecticides in 1991 in southern Louisiana, USA. 222 Every year, Western Germany produces 254 million tons of industrial waste, 10 million tons of which is toxic waste. 333 Japan’s generates 320 million tons of industrial waste each year. 444 A 1989 WHO report states that 100 million people are poisoned by insecticides each year.

beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. Illustration: 111 One third of the land on Earth has become arid land, and continues to expand as 700 million acres turn into desert every year. 222 1984 UNEP estimate: over 135 million people are victims of severe desertification. 333 Global desert area is expanding at a rate of 50 to 70 thousand km2 every year. 444 Rampant deforestation will turn the Amazon forests, known as the Earth’s lungs, into desert in an estimated 30 years.
(11) Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions Matthew 24:7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. Illustration: 111 January 17, 1995: A magnitude-7 earthquake reduced Kobe, Japan into rubble. 222 A 7.9-magnitude earthquake that struck near the Iran Ryan island of Indonesia created a tsunami that swallowed up more

Statistics reveal that there were only seven major earthquakes that resulted in fatalities before the 20th century. However, in the 20th century, earthquake frequency has risen sharply, and seems to happen almost every year. In 1920, 180-thousand people died in China’s Gansu province; in 1923, 140-thousand died in Japan; in August, 1976, 700-thousand died in Tangshan, China. A single

Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. Illustration: ď‚Œ 111 In the past 2000 years of human history, there is only a 30year period where there was no war. 222 According to the French War Study research, from 1740 to 1980 and over 240 years long, have had 377 armed-conflicts, of which 427 occurred between nations. 333 According to UN Secretary General Santos, since the inception of the UN in 1945, the world has experienced more than 100 major military disputes and has lost 20 million lives. 444 There are around 900 terrorist groups in the world. Hundreds of terrorist attacks happen every year, resulting in hundreds of casualties. 555 U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen announced that in order to protect soldiers from possible biological and

In 2004, within 3 months, the avian influenza virus has swept across Asia, including Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Taiwan. In its wake, more than 70 million chickens died or were culled, 16 people died in Vietnam, 3 in Thailand. 222 Cannibalism bacteria (MRSA) outbreak in America and Canada: severe cases led to amputations or even death. 333 March 12, 2003: the WHO issued its first official warning on SARS.
