Introduction
Welcome Back, Family!
I’m so glad to have you join me again. We will continue exploring the profound mysteries of God’s presence and purpose throughout history.
In our last post, “Living Beyond Time: When is the End of Time?” we explored how God is drawing His people beyond the limits of earthly time. He is inviting us to live in His eternal likeness.
Today, we go deeper into that mystery with a vital question: What exactly is the End of Time?
In today’s reflection, we step into a profound mystery in Scripture. It is the End of Time — The Revelation of the Son.
This subject carries deep spiritual and prophetic weight. We will explore it in two parts.
Part 1 — “When the Remnant Returns to God” and
Part 2 — “When Time Ends and Eternity Begins.”
The End of Time does not begin with the collapse of the world. It begins with the awakening of the Church. Scripture reveals a consistent pattern. When darkness rises, God awakens a remnant. This is a small, faithful people who return to Him with renewed devotion and holy urgency.
This is the first sign of the End of Time.
- Before Christ is revealed in glory…
- Before the Kingdom descends…
- Before time gives way to eternity…
A remnant returns.
In this post, we explore how passages like Isaiah 7:15 and Isaiah 10:21 prophetically illuminate a pattern. When many fall away, a remnant rises again to return to their first love.
This post ends by pointing us toward the next major event: the unveiling of the Son of God.
Before we go deeper, Scripture must frame our understanding. God’s Word does not leave us guessing about the End of Time. It prepares, guides, and anchors us. Let us start where every revelation begins: in the prophetic Scriptures that unveil His purpose.
Key Scriptures That Prepare Our Hearts
To ground our understanding, we start with foundational prophetic verses:
- Isaiah 7:14-16 — The sign of Immanuel
- Isaiah 40:5 — The revelation of His glory
- Revelation 1:7 — The universal unveiling of Christ
These passages remind us that the End of Time is centred on the revelation of Jesus Christ Himself.
With this foundation laid, we can now approach the central question with clarity and reverence. What, then, is the End of Time?
What Is the End of Time?
Prophetically, the End of Time is the Revelation of the Son
It is the moment when all creation beholds the glory of the risen Lord. It is the unveiling of Jesus Christ in His fullness.
The End of Time, prophetically speaking, is when the resurrection life of Christ is made visible to all creation. This marks a significant moment. It is when His victory over sin and death is made complete in all who believe.
The End of Time will come when the Lord enters our chaos with revelation and glory. It is when darkness blinds the world, and confusion fills the nations. It is then that He will reveal Himself to us again.
Until that divine moment, humanity continues to wrestle in mystery and wander in brokenness. Yet even in our waiting, His presence is near. He is shaping us. He is purifying us. He is preparing us for that glorious revelation. This revelation will occur when time gives way to eternity. Then the Son of God is seen for who He truly is—Lord of all.
“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” — Romans 8:19
If the End of Time is the revelation of the Son, then Scripture also shows us how God prepares His people. This preparation is for that revelation. It does not begin with external signs. Instead, it starts with an inward turning. This is a prophetic pattern of return found throughout the Word.
The Prophetic Pattern of Return
The End of Time is the day when the Lord Himself will come to us. Spiritually speaking, it is the day when His remnant returns to Him. It is the day when the Lord will once again appear to His sons and daughters. He will reveal His glory and restoring His people to their rightful place in Him.
Isaiah 7:15 gives us a glimpse of this divine turning point:
“By the time He knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right…”
This verse prophetically points to a time when the Church, having collapsed under the weight of compromise, will make the decision to return to its first love (Revelation 2:4). Though many will fall, a few will rise again. A few will return.
“A FEW WILL COME BACK.”
Isaiah 10:21 confirms this pattern:
“A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.”
The End of Time begins not with spectacle, but with repentance, awakening, and return.
Before the remnant returns, Scripture shows us a necessary breaking — a season of “crumbling” that precedes renewal (Revelation 2–3). Let’s look at how God restores what has been shaken.
The Crumbling Before the Rising
Isaiah’s prophetic imagery suggests a season in which many will “crumble”—spiritually exhausted, morally shaken, or spiritually asleep.
This will be a season when hearts once hardened will soften, when faith once crumbled will be restored. The people of God, though broken and scattered, will rise in repentance and renewal.
The word crumble conveys:
- collapse
- relapse
- fragility
- breaking into pieces
Yet even in that collapse, God begins His rebuilding work. The End of Time will not simply be an ending, but a reawakening. It will be a divine moment when God gathers His remnant and breathes life into His Church once more.
The End of Time is not simply a date on a calendar. It is the moment when the Lord returns to His people. This is a divine encounter, when His remnant will rise and return to Him.
Only a few will rise—a faithful remnant who responds to His call. But in their rising, the End of Time will begin to unfold. It will be a season of return, restoration, and revelation. During this time, the Lord will once again be revealed among His sons and daughters.
This small group, responding to God with tender hearts and renewed allegiance, becomes the first sign. The first sign that God’s timeline is shifting.
But every move of God awakens a counterfeit. The enemy will always distort what God reveals. To fully understand the glory of Christ’s return, we must also recognize the enemy’s counterfeits. These are false lights that imitate but can never reproduce the true glory of the Son.
The Enemy’s Counterfeit Glory
Why does Satan attempt to imitate the glory of Christ? Because imitation is his only strategy.
The image of Jesus Christ appearing in the clouds is something the enemy desperately tries to imitate. However, the enemy can never truly reproduce it. Symbolically, it represents the one thing the enemy cannot do: live by the principles of God.
From the beginning, Satan has wanted to exalt himself above God. He desires to claim glory that rightfully belongs to the Creator. Isaiah 14:13–14 reveals this rebellion clearly:
“You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly… I will make myself like the Most High.’”
But no matter how much he imitates light, he can never become it. Scripture reminds us in 2 Corinthians 11:14,
“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
The enemy seeks to surpass what Jesus did on earth—to deceive, to boast, and to draw attention to himself. Yet his imitation is empty because it lacks the essence of God’s nature: truth, holiness, and love. The devil cannot reproduce what is divine because he is separated from the life of God. The devil is a liar, and everything he creates or imitates is a distortion of the truth.
Jesus alone is the true Light (John 8:12). The One who came not to exalt Himself, but to glorify the Father. And just as He ascended into the clouds in glory, He will return in the same way (Acts 1:9–11).
So, when deception rises and false lights appear, remember this truth: Christ’s glory cannot be counterfeited. His return will not be hidden, nor will it be confused with imitation. Every eye will see Him. Every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10–11).
Until that day, stand firm in truth. Walk in the light of Christ, for His glory will outshine every false light.
In contrast to these empty imitations stands the unchanging truth of God’s character and His principles. To discern the true from the false, the Church must learn to walk in the principles of God. This calling becomes even more crucial as the days unfold.
Living by God’s Principles
Walking in God’s Principles:
God is a God of principles, and His principles are always just. Living according to the ways of the enemy leads only to struggle and deception. His path is built on rebellion. But living like Christ; that is an entirely different calling.
It is not easy to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Becoming a true son or daughter of God requires preparation, discipline, and surrender. It takes the will of God working within us to sustain us through the process.
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil His good purpose.” — Philippians 2:13
Living as Christ in the days ahead will be a test of faith—a proving of the heart. It is the testament of Christ written in our lives: to endure trials, to walk in love, and to reflect His nature in a world that resists His truth.
“Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did.” — 1 John 2:6
So, as we journey forward, may we choose not the ease of imitation. Let us embrace the endurance of transformation. Let us become more like Christ with every step.
Living by God’s Principles in a Difficult World:
Living in this world is challenging; not because the world itself is unbearable, but because the principles of God are not easy to live by. The laws of the Lord are within our reach. Yet, walking in them requires obedience. It demands discipline and a heart surrendered to His will.
That is why we must learn to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24
It takes the Word of God to live righteously before Him. It also takes the principles of God to guide our daily walk. His principles shape our character, refine our hearts, and teach us how to live as He commands.
Though difficult, living by God’s standards leads to true freedom, for obedience opens the door to His presence and peace.
These principles (obedience, truth, righteousness) lead us back to the One who embodied them perfectly. Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God with us. His first coming reveals the pattern — and His future revelation will unveil the fullness of His glory.
Immanuel: The Birth and Future Revelation of Christ
Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, fulfilling the promise of the Messiah’s arrival on earth. Yet the name Immanuel, meaning “God with us” (Isaiah 7:14), reveals an even deeper truth. It signifies the divine presence and purpose that covered His birth.
In the days to come, Jesus will be revealed again. He will not appear as the humble child in a manger. Instead, He will be the Son of God in glory. The fullness of Immanuel will be made known to all creation. He will return in the same name, Jesus Christ, but His coming will mark a greater resurrection—that of humanity. The ultimate revelation of God dwelling among His people in power and majesty.
“And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.” — Matthew 24:30
Christ’s return also places every nation and every people under God’s perfect justice. To understand the End of Time, we must recognize God’s dealings with individuals. We must also understand His interactions with nations and the world as a whole.
Interlude: God Speaks to Nations and the World
God speaks of nations and the world in different ways. He addresses nations as individuals, holding each accountable for its choices and actions. Yet He judges the world collectively; as one fallen creation in need of redemption.
Nations may rise and fall. The world itself, though corrupted by sin, still waits for its redemption under Christ’s reign. God’s justice moves through both—the particular and the global—for He is Lord of all the earth.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” — Psalm 24:1
“From one man He made all the nations… He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed.” — Acts 17:26–31
The foundation is set with the Scriptures, the remnant, the return, and the revelation. We can now see the End of Time more clearly. All these threads weave together into one divine conclusion.
Conclusion
Spiritually speaking, the End of Time begins long before the world sees Christ in the clouds.
It begins in the hearts of those who return to Him now.
- A remnant rises.
- The Church awakens.
- The Bride remembers her first love.
- And heaven watches… because the moment of revelation draws near.
The End of Time is not destruction but consummation—the divine fulfilment of God’s eternal plan. It is the moment when the Son of God is fully revealed to the world again. This revelation brings resurrection, renewal, and everlasting life. We live now within the boundaries of time. But that day will usher us into eternity, where His kingdom reigns forever without end.
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.” — Revelation 11:15
Understanding the End of Time is not meant to stir fear but to awaken readiness. With this revelation in our hearts, let us respond with faith, devotion, and expectation.
Call to Action
As you reflect on this message, take these steps to prepare your heart for eternity:
Reflect: Spend time meditating on God’s Word. Read Isaiah 2, Luke 24, and Revelation 21. These passages help you understand the hope of His coming.
Renew: Let the Spirit renew your faith daily. Ask God to help you live as a son or daughter of eternity — not bound by time. Instead be led by His purpose.
Respond: Share the message of Jesus Christ with others. Tell them of His resurrection, His ascension, and His soon return.
Rejoice: Live in the joy of knowing that His kingdom is coming. You are part of His everlasting plan.
