In Reelation, mankind falls to its deepest depravity before the Lord comes to rule and restore. He said it would be like \u201cthe days of Noah,\u201d which saw the worst corruption and evil the world would experience until the end of this age. In His parable about the wheat and the tares, Jesus said,&nbsp;<strong>\u201cthe end of the age is the harvest\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;(see Matthew 13:39).<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In this parable, Jesus was speaking of how the wheat and tares would grow up together. The harvest is when all the seeds that have been sown will come to full maturity, so both the good and evil sown into man will come to full maturity at the end of this age. Then, we will experience evil in its fullness\u2014the full maturity of the sin of man personified in \u201cthe man of sin\u201d\u2014and the full maturity of the nature of Christ will be manifested in His people. This is predicted in Isaiah 60:1-3:&nbsp;<strong>\u201cArise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most of the books I\u2019ve read and messages I\u2019ve heard preached on the book of Revelation focus on the evil, the antichrist, and the tribulation. By far the most exciting and wonderful thing about the end of the age is what is being done to prepare the way for His kingdom and how the glory of the Lord is going to be manifested in His people. The light and glory of the Lord are going to overpower the deepest darkness, the worst evil. As we see in the prophecy above, the light wins, and the nations will come to the light.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/publications.morningstarministries.org\/word-for-the-week\/book-revelation-part-9?lang=en&amp;_kx=GhgqhNfviHFNBdC9RexkbdzTRT3H3zwgnzdTrn5yWhmfxDsa0cfTPMvMH10Ffb1r.U4gNJ5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2024-12-03 17:09:50","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2024-12-05 13:45:28","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2024-12-05 13:42:22","publish_up":"2024-12-03 17:09:50","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":6,"ordering":"1","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"1","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
