The Fig Tree and Jerusalem
The most obvious of all the signs of the times is the restoration of Israel to their own land, and particularly also the restoration of Jerusalem as their capital. The Lord Jesus clearly refers to these signs in His Olivet Discourse:
“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near… For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled… And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near. And He spoke to them a parable: Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you, likewise, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things are fulfilled” (Luke 21:20-32).

The Afrikaner are a Cowardly People, says Theologian
An article titled, The Afrikaner are a Cowardly People, by Prof. Yolanda Dreyer of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria, was published in the newspaper Beeld on 26 Nov, 2007. In this article she says:
The nation that crossed the Drakensberg barefoot has become anxious and faint-hearted. And an anxious cat makes anxious leaps.
I sat dumbfounded in a recent church meeting (synod) and beheld the commotion. I listened to my fellow-Afrikaners. They are afraid of fellow-believers. Not those far away – no, those who share the same confession of faith with them. The World League of Reformed Churches wants to “destroy the Afrikaner nation,” they say.

The Marriage of the Lamb
The true church of Christ is also described as the bride or wife of the Lamb (Matt. 25:1-13; 2 Cor. 11:2; Rev. 19:7-8). It is important to realise that after having been saved we should not lapse into spiritual idleness as though we have already reached our destination. Every Christian has a high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Phil. 3:14), and salvation is only the beginning of a long process of sanctification and spiritual growth. We need to increase in holiness to appear before Christ without blemish. Appreciate the fact that Christ gave Himself to save and sanctify us: “Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:25-27).

The Millennium

Only very archaic terms have been substituted, between brackets, with correlating terms from the New King James Version (NKJV). All pronouns referring to the Godhead are capitalised.

Dispensations in the Bible
The Bible clearly teaches a future, one thousand year reign of Christ from the restored throne of David in Jerusalem. This coming dispensation is referred to as the Millennium. It will be the sixth dispensation in the divine history of humanity, to be followed by eternity in the completely new heaven and new earth, which will be created after the Millennium.

Vigilance in the Midst of Great Apostasy
A vigilant Christian is someone who is fully conscious of the spiritual realities of his life in Christ, and derives the motivation and strength for his life from this divine source. He is also conscious of the spiritual dangers posed by the opposing kingdom of Satan and actively resists them. This battle occurs in the spiritual realm of our life since we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against a hostile spiritual power and its wicked principles (Eph. 6:12). The more we are mindful of the reality of the other, unseen world, the more vigilant we will be. The more secular we are inclined, the lesser we will consider spiritual realities and consequently neglect to order our lives accordingly. To be vigilant in a biblical sense demands that our eyes are open to certain realities and that this knowledge will determine our decisions and actions.

The War Between Two Kingdoms
The two great spiritual realities which face all of us are God’s kingdom and Satan’s kingdom. The Triune God has supreme authority over the universe, and He is served by a large number of angels and humans. The devil’s counterfeit kingdom arose from a prehistoric rebellion against God’s kingdom, and in its composition it shows clear signs of imitating the kingdom of God. The following is a comparative table of the two kingdoms:

Israel in the Last Days
On 14^th May 2005, modern Israel was 57 years old, and in August this year it will be 25 years since Jerusalem was declared to be the eternal capital of Israel. Why is the restoration of Israel and their capital city, Jerusalem, so important to us? The reason for this is because Israel is God’s prophetic clock for end time events. He said that we must look at the fig tree (Israel; cf. Hos. 9:10) if we want to know when the summer of His promised kingdom is near (Luke 21:29-30). With Israel’s restoration, the fig tree started budding but when the Messiah comes the whole remnant of Israel will be saved and bear fruit for the kingdom of God (Isa. 27:6; Zech 12:10).
