The Lion Has Roared

Christ is getting ready to return to Earth. But how bad will events become before He arrives? The most powerful part of biblical Israel is compared to a sheep that has been attacked—and only two legs and a piece of an ear remain! Only one tenth of these nations’ inhabitants will survive. There is no stronger prophetic message in the Bible. Of the one who delivers it, Amos says, “The land is not able to bear all his words.” This is a prophecy for today. God must supernaturally protect His very elect from what is coming. Thankfully, all of these horrifying events lead to the return of Jesus Christ to rule this world forever!

Excerpt

There is bad news, and there is good news—but the good news lasts forever!

Sinners who deny God’s prophecies will be plunged into the Great Tribulation. People who heed God’s warnings shall be protected in a place of safety. Even physically, the stakes are enormous.

Amos tells us that even many of God’s own people will fail to heed His warning.

The message of this book revolves around a specific prophecy against two end-time nations and God’s Church. “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. … Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light” (Amos 5:15, 18).

The “remnant” refers to the end-time descendants of Joseph—particularly those of his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:13; 49:1, 22). Ephraim is comprised of the British nations, like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, while Manasseh is the United States. These nations comprise the birthright nations of end-time Israel, about which the biblical prophecies speak—not the modern-day nation called Israel, which is comprised primarily of the descendants of ancient Judah. Herbert W. Armstrong’s book The United States and Britain in Prophecy explains these truths in detail. (Request a free copy if you don’t have one.)
