World Refugee Sabbath to be celebrated June 20
What do you think the kingdom of God is like? What do you dream of when you think of the kingdom of God?
As Seventh-day Adventists, we long for a kingdom of peace where there is no pain, no fighting, and no sin. What an image and contrast that is when we compare that kingdom with our world today!
So, we turn to God and plead for help. We ask Him to change the circumstances here on Earth; we pray for His kingdom to come on Earth as it is in Heaven. But, have you ever thought about how you and I…

The Second Coming of Jesus: The Bible Reveals COVID-19 is a Sign
Is Covid-19 one of the signs of the second coming of Jesus? Do you wonder if the rise of natural disasters is a warning that the end might be near? This masterclass will give an in-depth look at answers that may surprise you. This study will explore Matthew chapter 24 which focuses on the signs of the end-times. In addition, it points to the hope of the second coming of Jesus Christ. This is the second episode in the AWR Masterclass series called Unlocking Bible Prophecies. You can follow the series and interact LIVE at: http://awr.org/bible Ten years ago, Cami Oetman had a real encounter with God that would change her life forever. She was a successful entrepreneur at the time, and the transition wasn’t easy. However, the truth Cami will share in this series was so compelling that she knew every human being in the world should experience the love of Jesus as she had. Within three years, she had preached 350 Bible presentations. Today, as a vice president for Adventist World Radio, Cami travels the world documenting the miracles that take place when people give their hearts to Jesus.
It may seem difficult to imagine yourself understanding Bible prophecy. Cami couldn’t either. She had spent two decades in the modeling world — in front of and behind the camera. She had also used her master’s degree in social work to care for hospice patients. She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God! THE SIGNS
This question has perplexed thinkers throughout history. In fact, right before His death, Jesus’ disciples questioned Him about this very thing. In Matthew 24:3, they asked, “When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?” The disciples were gathered on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the temple of Jerusalem. In their minds, the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world would happen simultaneously. Jesus had talked about the destruction of Jerusalem, and they wanted to know more. As Jesus answered their questions, He shared events that would transpire before His return. Don’t be scared by the signs of His soon coming. Jesus offers hope. He offers salvation. He offers you a relationship with Him that will protect you from deception. His heart longs for you to make the decision to choose Him. He came to this earth and became the Son of Man to show us the way to live so that we could join Him for eternity. As you discover Bible prophecy and discern the signs of Christ’s soon return, would you like to acknowledge, “Yes, Jesus, I believe you are coming soon”? Do you want to be ready for the great day of His coming?
Is there anything in your life that would keep you from being ready? It’s time to surrender that thing to Jesus. It’s time to accept His invitation of hope and peace. Have questions? Need prayer? Visit us at awr.org/bible Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTk_bGfHVjE
