- He spoke of the last days being like the days of Noah.
- He said all signs will be fulfilled in this generation.
- He said therefore there would be prophets to warn us (we would not be left to ourselves), like in the days of Noah.
- He discussed the significance of being "sent." Saying that is who we should listen to, and them only, if you want to hear a message from God.
Very straightforward, and almost apologetic.
- Then he proclaimed he was "sent" by God. This was him "unveiling" himself, in my view.

I'm going to listen to the whole thing. But thank you for your summary, Underdog. If Denver is telling the actual truth (reality), then all of these things will be plainly observable in the next 20-40 years (this generation), including the signs, wonders, miracles, and great fulfillments of prophecies throughout all the scriptures. Events such as rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem will be particularly visible and news-worthy. Many of these things, I would point out, cannot happen if the entire fabric of civilized society unravels. Apparently all of this is balanced with the natural disasters, cosmic catastrophes (asteroid impacts, etc.), wars, and worldwide shake-ups. Hurricanes/storms, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., while "signs of the times" in a way, have been going on all along. Jerusalem Temple rebuild would be historic and unprecedented. Major asteroid impact likewise. Super-volcanic eruption likewise. So we would expect to see unprecedented events.underdog wrote: ↑September 21st, 2017, 9:45 pm Major prophesy was uttered, IMHO.
For interested people who missed it, the highlights were as follows:
- He spent time on discussing what it means to "be sent."
- He taught the doctrine of Christ.
- Invited all to be baptized.
- Said read Matthew 24, which is about the signs immediately preceding the Second Coming.
- Said the signs have begun.
- Referred to verse 34 saying ALL the signs will be fulfilled in THIS generation. Big time prophesy.
- Said to be of good cheer, that prophets will be among you. As in PLURALITY of prophets.
- Said that if you're going to listen to a preacher who says he has a message from God, you should only listen to one who has been sent.
- He bore testimony at the end that he knows Christ lives, for he has seen Him, as Paul saw Him.
- He compared himself to Noah.
- Said the end times will be like Noah's day. That's the scary part. But said the good news is that there will be prophets sent, just as Noah was sent.
To put it in perspective, for example, let's take volcanic eruptions: there have been huge, locally destructive volcanic eruptions throughout recorded and recent history. I'm sure people living near them, like Mt. Vesuvius, when they went off felt like it was the end of the world (and it may have been the end of theirs, for all practical purposes) but they weren't global and did not mark the beginning of the end-times, etc.

My point is precedented vs unprecedented events marking the actual "end of the world" will be markedly different and undeniable. The purpose of these unprecedented end-times signs, wonders, and catastrophes is to stir people up to repentance, not just slap everyone in the face and tell them "ha, ha, it's too late and you missed the boat." Does The Lord really try to "scare" (use fear) to inspire people to repent (and exercise faith/trust in Him)? That seems weird.
