(From the
Book - Final Warning)
The
Back Cover
If God's plan is to bring the Church through the Great
Tribulation, are you prepared to stand firm and not worship the
beast, his image, and take his mark? Reverend Daniel Blair
writes Final Warning with passion and conviction that time is
running out and the time to prepare for the Great Tribulation is
now. Blair gives compelling evidence that the new Global City is
already being built by the beast of worldly power to enslave the
nations by teaching them to follow his godless agenda. Reverend
Blair asserts that the image of the beast is already being
worshiped and the mark taken by millions who are completely
unaware of their eternal consequences. You are invited to join
him in an unforgettable journey to the edge of extinction to
witness all the plagues, woes, and wrath of God as they are
being poured out upon the Global City. And then he carries you
to the threshold of hell to imagine the horror of eternal
torment. This is a whirlwind of a book that will keep you on the
edge of your seat from beginning to end. A must read for anyone
concerned about the future.
Introduction
This is a final warning to everyone living in the world
that the hour of His judgment is coming and the wrath of God is
being poured out on all ungodliness. For years this has been
referred to as the Great Tribulation. Many tell us that the
Great Tribulation is future and that born again Christians can
expect a secret rapture that will deliver them just in the knick
of time before things get too bad. Things are already bad and
getting worse by the minute. The world is swirling around going
ever deeper into an abyss of wickedness and depravity. The
church has long since stopped its influence and has sat idly by
watching the world's decline into a depth of gross immorality.
Many in the church have taken on the mantle of the world,
following its teachings, its entertainment, its enjoyments, its
personality and its attitude toward life.
It is the believe
of this author, and I believe the most biblical position, that
the rapture will not be secret because every eye shall
see Christ when He magnificently returns in glory. The Bible
says," For the Lord
himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with
the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the
dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still
alive and are left (at the conclusion of the Great Tribulation)
will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (I
Thess. 4:16-17)Friends, this
return is anything but secret! I can only imagine the fear that
will strike the hearts of the unbelievers as they gasp for air
and fall to their knees in submission. For Christ's galactic
return to earth is to punish those who have not remained
faithful to Him during the Great Tribulation and to cast the
beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire.
Many Christians
are duped into believing that all they need to do is sit
leisurely by and wait for this secret rapture to occur. They are
completely blind to the fact that they are living in the midst
of the Great Tribulation and the forces arrayed against them are
formidable. The pressure to capitulate our faith is intense.
And as we shall see many of these attacks are subversive and
under the cloak of deception. The Bible says the powers of the
beast (or the Anti-Christ) are so strong and powerful that if
possible the very elect will be led astray (See Mt. 24:24). This
is a warning for both the Christian and the pagan who live
amongst us, for everyone will be judged and all will go through
the Great Tribulation coming upon the world.
The
outline of this little book is taken from the book of Revelation
and specifically from the final warning given by the three
angels to all those living on the earth during the Great
Tribulation. The Final Warning of the First Angel is covered in
the first section of the book, which gives the initial
preparation for standing firm during the Great Tribulation. In
the first chapter a plea is made to believe the eternal gospel
before it is too late. A gospel planned from eternity past to
translate you from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of
light, to make you into a new creation, and give you the gift of
eternal life. In these confusing days the simple gospel and the
way of the cross is a breath of fresh air. Especially to those
who are suffocating from all the voices of other world religions
and vain philosophies.
In
the next two chapters a final warning is given to respond
properly to the eternal gospel by fearing God and giving Him the
glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. A description
is given of the plagues and wrath of God being poured out on all
ungodliness. This will generate a new godly fear while
discovering a renewed strength in His providential care. We
live in an amazing day where fallen humanity glories in his
accomplishments. In this next chapter we re-discover many
practical ways to give God the glory through such things as our
spiritual growth, personal relationships, and worship. This is
a call to live our lives in such a way as to glorify the Father
in the midst of the Great Tribulation.
In
Chapter Four we will discuss why it is imperative to worship God
as the Creator. To do so leads you to develop a biblical
worldview that completely sets you apart from the rest of the
world. It opens your eyes to the unseen world and the powerful
forces arrayed against God's good creation and how God's
sovereign control currently restrains lawlessness until the time
He decides to remove the restraint.
In
the next section of the book the Second Angel proclaims his
Final Warning to the new Global City, “Fallen! Fallen is
Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the
maddening wine of her adulteries” (Rev. 14:8b). A convincing
argument is made that the Global City of man is already being
built and is headed up by the beast of worldly power to enslave
the nations by teaching them to follow his godless agenda. We
meticulously detail the characteristics of the new Global City,
showing how it is being built on the same crumbling foundations
of Ancient Rome. As the Great City goes global it produces a
new world economy, a new philosophy of tolerance, a new secular
worldview, a new world democracy, a new world religion in
disguise, and a new world order linking the entire world
together in a common collective using the Internet.
In
Part II of the Destruction of the Global City a detailed account
of its destruction will be unveiled. The final bowls of God's
wrath and His ensuing plagues are unleashed upon the Global City
to such an extent that, 'When the kings of the earth who
committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke
of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her' (Rev. 18:9). Christians are warned to flee Vanity Fair and the
conforming influences of the Global City.
The
Third Angel sounds his Final Warning to those who worship the
beast, his image, and take his mark. In Chapter Seven we see
that the stage is already set for the beast (or the Anti-Christ)
to cause every tongue, people, tribe and nation, whose names
have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, to worship
him, his image, and take his mark. The shocking
description of the beast, his image and his mark will
surprise even the devout Christian. It is demonstrated that
many in the world, completely unaware, are already worshiping
the image of the beast and taking his deceptive mark. This is
the final warning, because the hour of His judgment has come!
In
the next chapter the Angel continues his Final Warning of the
pending judgment and eternal torment. A graphic description of
eternal torment is given which is both terrifying and chilling. During the Great Tribulation fallen humanity will experience a
small measure of this eternal torment as a foretaste of things
to come. Not everyone will heed the warning in this little book,
but will continue to worship the beast, his image, and take his
mark. By doing so there will be irreversible consequences.
In
the Final Section of this little book a final word is given to
the saints who are faithful and obedient to remain patient
during the Great Tribulation. These biblical instructions will
help you to stand firm and to come off victoriously from
worshiping the beast, his image, and taking his mark. In the
final chapter a special blessing to those who endure the Great
Tribulation along with a description of the eternal City of God
coming down from heaven will delight your heart and have you
crying out - Victory, Victory at last!
My hope and prayer is that once your
eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit through the reading of
this little book you will pass it on to those who need to be
snatched from the flames of the coming judgment.
The book,
"Final Warning," was primarily written to help God's people
survive the Tribulation force that is sweeping the planet. A
force so powerful as to cause "days of distress unequaled from
the beginning, when God created the world, until now - and never
to be equaled again.” (Mark 13:19)
