The Gatherers For Christ is a fictional series based on the End Times. The main characters find themselves left behind after the rapture and they must face the Tribulation. I have been writing this series since 2006.

In this installment we’ll see the awful fate of the nations as foretold in chapter 34, followed by the glorious restoration of Israel in chapter 35. The contrast couldn’t be greater.

In this installment of The End Times According To Isaiah, we’ll look at chapters 26-27 which will complete the four chapter prophecy we began last time.

This time we begin a very descriptive four chapter passage devoted to the destruction coming upon the Earth at the End of The Age. Before we’re finished we’ll see the Earth judged, Babylon destroyed, the Messiah revealed, the Church Raptured, Satan judged, Israel restored, and we’ll even get a glimpse of Eternity.

This installment of the End Times According to Isaiah takes us to Isaiah 17 and the never fulfilled prophecy of the destruction of Damascus.
In the past couple of years it has become even clearer that Isaiah’s prophecy of the destruction of Damascus may soon come to fulfillment. If so, it would explain why Syria is not included among the coalition of Moslem nations who will gather against Israel in the Battle of Ezekiel 38.

This installment of the End Times According To Isaiah is all about Babylon. The fact that I’ve included Isaiah 13-14:23 in this series demonstrates my belief that Babylon has never been destroyed in the manner Isaiah will describe for us here, and that there is a major role in the end times for this ancient city. In all the Bible, the only city mentioned more often is Jerusalem. In fact some have gone so far as to characterize the Bible as “A Tale Of Two Cities,” Babylon, the city of Satan, versus Jerusalem, the city of God. Not surprisingly the two are always in contention.
Babylon is the origin of every counterfeit religion and mythology, every attempt to deny and defeat the truth of God’s word. It’s the place where man rebelled against God at the beginning of the Age. Why then is it so difficult for people to believe that Babylon will rise to prominence again for man’s rebellion at the end of the Age? Is not Satan the motivating force behind man’s rebellion? Those who want to allegorize the End Times references to Babylon simply don’t understand the spiritual significance of this great city. Just like the one whose city it is, Babylon was, now is not, but will come again and go to its destruction. (Rev. 17:8)

The next view Isaiah gave us of the End times is found in chapters 11-12 and concerns the Messiah.
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD - and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. (Isaiah 11:1-2)
We wouldn’t know this except by looking back, but Isaiah was foretelling that the royal line of David, from whom all of Israel’s Kings came, would be cut down like a tree, lie dormant, and then be restored. The process would begin about 150 years after Isaiah wrote this when the Lord pronounced a blood curse on the Davidic line, saying no more would these sons of David ever rule over Israel. (Jeremiah 22:28-30). The line would languish, like the stump of a chopped down tree. All during the Babylonian captivity and for 500 years afterward, there was no King over Israel. And then one day a shoot would spring forth, a Branch that would bear fruit. Since Jesse was David’s father and David was not the Branch, this is a reference to the Messiah, the ultimate Son of David.
Several saturday morning's ago in the Mens Ministry at Pine Knolls, we were told we would be discussing Prophecy. On the sheet we were given was something about America...Is America in End Times Prophecy?
America in the End Times...There are four possibilities.
