END-TIME PROPHECIES REVEALED

​末世預言啟示錄  -  作者: 潘志明医生

Excerpt from:

Foreword

I have known Dr. Jimmy Poon as a valued member of our Catch The Fire Toronto congregation for many years.

Additionally, he is a practising physician specializing in family medicine and cosmetic medicine, and both Carol and myself have on occasion had him remove a blemish here and there. He is also a deep man of prayer and spirituality who persists diligently in the things of God, pursuing a deep and intimate relationship with the Lord.

Equally, he is a deep lover and researcher of the word of God, and has of late turned his attention to a profound study regarding the soon return of the Lord Jesus both for His Bride, and then His final return to establish His eternal kingdom on the earth.
 
In reading Dr. Poon’s book, End-Time Prophecies Revelation, I was overwhelmed with two aspects of his work particularly. His scholarship is so deep, detailed, and thorough that it leaves little or no wiggle room. Additionally, his information and math are so compelling that the conclusions he draws are difficult to dispute or refute.

For example, a key piece of information uncovers the exact year of the Passover when Jesus died on the cross. Scholars have speculated anywhere between AD 28 and AD 32. Dr. Poon creatively finds that the exact year is AD 32, based on NASA’s moon phase charts which demonstrate that only the interval between 445 BC and AD 32 can accommodate 5,888 moons plus the eight days required  by having an 173,880–day interval, as stipulated in the prophecy in Daniel 9, keeping in mind that the firstfruits of barley must be available to be offered to the Lord on the Sunday after Passover.

Dr. Poon continues on by saying that our Lord’s final return will take place in AD 2032. Scripture is clear that no one knows the day or the hour, but we are expected to know the season, and I think most of us would agree that there are serious changes, events, and considerations happening continuously in today’s world. It would appear that the birth pains of the second coming of Jesus have begun.
 
End-Time Prophecies Revelation is not light reading. It is worthy of consideration by the most serious scholar as well as those who are acutely interested in eschatology, the study of the last things. He’s not asking that any of us agree with him out of hand, but that we consider his profound conclusions.
 
This very important subject about the return of Jesus is exactly that: very important. So important, in fact, that we need to hold our current opinions about it loosely and be teachable, realizing that most of us have adhered to what we have been taught over the years. Acknowledging that fact, we should be ever so keen to uncover new facts and biblical truths that point to this game-changing event, even if it challenges our current beliefs about it.

There are several things we know for sure. The Bible is absolutely the inspired and infallible word of God. You can prove that to yourself by considering the study of archaeology and, for example, the Dead Sea Scrolls. Scholars have found many ancient manuscripts, including the complete scroll of Isaiah, word for word as we have it today, yet more than two thousand years old. It was miraculously preserved and has only three or four extremely minor variances, amounting to a letter or two different from today’s text.
 
Then there is the matter of fulfilled prophecy, both those that foretold the first coming of Jesus and His death on the cross, and those that foretold events leading up to His second coming, such as the rebirth of the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem once again becoming Israel’s united capital. Additionally, the gospel of the kingdom must be preached and declared among all the nations, which is now also being fulfilled.
 
The experiences promised in the Bible are still true for us today, as is testified by multiplied thousands of living Christians who can attest to having a transformed life and experiencing personal encounters with the living God of the Bible.
 
Very importantly, we have the resurrection of Jesus Himself from the dead. He really died, and He really rose again, as is testified by the hundreds who served as eyewitnesses of these things and were willing to die for the truth. 

 
Finally, there is the evidence of the equidistant letter sequence Bible codes, as well as Ivan Panan’s Bible numerics. Each of these hidden codes offer compelling evidence for the authority and authenticity of the entire Bible.
 
These evidences prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the message of God’s inspired word is unquestionably true.

Throughout Scripture, many hundreds of prophecies point to the soon return of Jesus Christ as the ultimate king and ruler of this wayward planet. He will establish His kingdom here and reign in righteousness and in truth. And it will not be a democracy but a kingdom ruled by a good and righteous king with perfect justice and truth. It will be the most climactic event since creation, and the righteous will delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
 
Dr. Poon brings many of these thoughts to the minds and hearts of his readers. May it prepare your mind and heart to be ready and expecting the soon, perhaps very soon, return of earth’s King.
 
          Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
          Let earth receive her King;
          let ev’ry heart prepare him room
          and heav’n and nature sing,
          and heav’n and nature sing,
          and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
 
          He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
          come, Lord Jesus.   (Revelation 22:20, KJV)
