Isaiah 60:1-5 quoted below is an especially important prophecy for our times:
"Arise, 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. Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come... -

Last week we focused on the mark of the beast and how it will reveal the true worshipers of God, distinguishing them from those whose hope and trust is in this present world, more than God.

If you would rather have the money, then make it your primary pursuit. If you would rather have the authority that the Lord demonstrated when He walked the earth, then pursue Him.

For the last three weeks we have been addressing one of the more popular Scriptures of our time, Proverbs 13:22, “...the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” This is a true promise that is corroborated by many other biblical prophecies. It will come to pass for those who are prepared for it, and should be part of our preparation for these times.
In Proverbs 8:18 wisdom personified says, "Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.” It is apparent from the Scriptures...
