(Sermon Notes by John Mitchell)

MATT. 24:22-EITHER man’s way of life on this earth will have an intervention by what General Douglas McArthur titled “An Unseen Hand From Somewhere” in his farewell speech to the U. S. Congress, OR No Flesh will be saved alive. No Flesh means just that-every human being on the face of this earth will perish save for the return of Jesus Christ. No Flesh means NO Caucasian, NO African, NO Asian, NO Islander, No Eskimo, NO East Indian, NO Russian. NO Flesh means what it says!!

But-Man in his arrogant rejection of God, does NOT believe that. No, man knows better, and whether he is a “Religious” person or an avowed “Atheist”. The attitude is the same as described in 2 PETER 3:41-However I beg to differ and I submit to you that “There Is Nothing More Permanent Than Change”. And ALL THINGS do NOT continue as they have always been. For 6,000 years man has devised his plans for not just survival but for World Domination. This has been through man’s creation of “Empires” and “Kingdoms”. With an elite few controlling their subjects through fear & repression, each one rejecting God’s way of peace, harmony, joy and happiness. And when each one FELL and disappeared into the “Ash Heap of History”, it fell SUDDENLY, practically overnight when it thought is was at the zenith of it’s power, might and glory.

One other time in recorded history was the prophecy of future end time, end of days events applied. GENESIS 6:5-8 & 17-But for the 8 elect souls, God destroyed ALL creatures, NO FLESH was saved alive. This was the forerunner of Matthew 24:22, yet it was done by the hand of God Himself!! It was worldwide!! And God then established the rainbow in the heavens as a promise He would not destroy all flesh again by a worldwide flood. God would SAVE man from himself by the return of Jesus Christ to this earth in power and glory to establish the KOG, which will bring about world peace, joy and harmony to all flesh. But, certain events will come to pass just prior to Christ’s coming!!

Mankind will again come into a state of being that he would destroy himself. I describe this state of being as “sickness” for man has become so Godless under the sway and bondage of the god of this world that man is sick from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

MATT. 24:37-39-"Paid No Attention" as to how sick they were. What were those days like, why would 1 man heed God and by extension save his family from the destruction of ALL FLESH? After all, it was a great time to live!!!

LUKE 17:26-30-The days of Noah and lot were the same.

EZEKIEL 16:49-50-1) Pride 2) Fullness of Bread 3) Abundance of Idleness 4) Lack of Compassion 5) Perversion of Sex.

Because of these conditions, these “sicknesses” of man’s nature, they were subject to utter destruction-Suddenly-Like a Thief in the Night!!

Daniel 5-During Belshazzar’s feast, Darius the Mede was used by God to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon, the mighty kingdom that was secure with great military strength, wealth, land, and property. Destroyed, Suddenly, in 1 night!!

In Gibbons "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire", he gives great details about the "sick conditions" of mighty Rome. And by invasion from without by the Mongol hordes and the decadent perversion from within, Rome’s Mighty Empire Fell!

You can be a God rejecting, avowed Atheist and see the parallels, the same conditions of sickness that brought down the Antideluvian period of Noah, the Sodom of Lot, the Babylon of Belshazzar, the Rome of the Ceasars, the Greco-Macedonian Empire of Alexander the Great are extant in OUR WORLD TODAY. The same sickness afflicts the ENTIRE world today. It’s Empires and Kingdoms from Europe to Russia, throughout Asia, the Pacific Rim and through the U.S.A.

It matters not whether you look through the lens of religion or atheistic secularism—the end is the same "Except our days be shortened, No Flesh will be saved alive1" I will combine the 5 major conditions that lead to the destruction of past Empires and Kingdoms into this message as we go along, but we today and in the near future have a problem never before faced by mankind. I call it the "SICKNESS OF THE PLANET!!" I am NOT a Tree Hugging, Spotted Owl Loving, Green Peace Activist, or any such. But our planet (Earth) is struggling to stay alive and groaning under its burdens. The “Second Law of Thermodynamics” began at the fall of man in the garden and continues today with Ageing, Deterioration and Decay.

What do Deforestation, Flooding, Landslides, Desert Expansion, Urban Sprawl, Scarcity of Mineral Resources, Over Consumption, Excess Emissions of Greenhouse Gases, Peak Oil, Radioactive Waste, Water Scarcity, Oceanic Dead Zones, Fish Stock Depletion, Loss of Wildlife Habitats, Mass Extinction of Species, Pollution of Water, Land and Air have in common? Earth will approach a point where population growth will exceed the ability to sustain itself and mankind will cease to exist. Any Atheist can see that!! Only the return of Jesus Christ will salvage the earth. Mankind will not be allowed to destroy the earth, “But except those days should be shortened, not flesh would be saved alive. Any religious person can see that!!

The 5 conditions of man that have lead to the destruction of his Empires and Kingdom are summed up to day in what I call "THE SICKNESS OF THE WORLD."

I JOHN 2:15-These are Satan’s 3 “knockout” punches that he uses to tempt mankind with. He used them successfully with Eve in the garden, witness King David and his murderous affair with Bathsheba.

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5-Paul warned of the total deterioration of decency, morality and fairness in the “Last Days”. The same decadence and perversion that ruled in the days of Noah, Lot, Babylon, & Rome will rule just prior to the return of Jesus Christ. As we read Paul’s prophecy we see the same “Sickness that destroyed the ancient worlds” is the same "Sickness that is about to destroy OURS."

When Sexual Perversion becomes extant throughout the land to the point where it is condoned by legislation, that is the final act before God destroys that nation. When God led Israel into their land under Joshua, He specifically gave command to 1st-Kill all the false prophets, the wizards, and the witches that had turned people against God. 2nd –Kill all those engaged in sexual perversion-to wit-homosexuality and beastiality of all types as they destroyed the natural order of God’s human creation. Today, we have reached that point-WORLDWIDE!!

There is one final area that I want to speak on today that also embodies all 5 of the conditions of man and that will, unless Christ returns, cause NO FLESH to be saved alive. And that is "THE SICKNESS OF RELIGION"!!

MATTHEW 24:4-5-This deception has been going on since the very start of the New Testament era as far as the so- called Christian world is concerned. Once the curtain of church history that was closed about 100 AD was pulled back again in 325 AD, we find a church completely 180 degrees from the Church Jesus founded. The Christian Church was then and now is dominated by the great false church, The “Universal” or Catholic church, the great whore of Revelation along with her illegitimate daughters made up of the so called Protestant” churches. This church is sick through and through and its sexual perversions are daily news around the world. A time is coming soon when once again, after consolidation, a Christian will either accept this false church or face death. It happened before, it will happen again according to your Bible.

In Ireland, Catholic IRA kill Protestants, and vice-versa.
Hindu extremists war and constantly kill Muslims
Sheiks constantly war against and kill the Hindus.
Islam has as its goal the fulfillment of the teachings of the Koran—Bring about the final holocaust using any weapon at hand-Chemical-Biological and Nuclear and wipe all non -Muslims from the face of the earth. TODAY-IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO SO!

A person may be religious, or consider themselves an Atheist who denies God, one only has to look at and accept the evidence which proves that these are the conditions extant in the days in which you and I live. The same conditions that preceded the Sudden Destruction of the Empires and Kingdoms of history. Happily, in our time, an "Unseen Hand From Somewhere" will intervene and fulfill MATTHEW 24:22-"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved (alive): but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened."

THY KINGDOM COME
