God is supreme. He is omniscient, knowing the future and everybody better than they know themselves (Psalm 139:1-16; Matt. 6:7-8) God is the one who has made all things for His pleasure (Col. 1:16). Once He has not initiated something, He will not take pleasure in it. That is why the Bible records that His will must be done on earth as it is in heaven. That’s where the knowledge of His purpose for you and His creation comes in, so that we can Choose correctly, all the time. The book discuss this, bringing out the nature of God in different dimensions, what hinders our choosing right and the things God would like us to do, if we are seeking to please Him, all the time.

Chapter 1: Why Purpose and Choice
Reasons why the topic is being discussed in the face of the popular topics in vogue. Chiefly, is the issue of Purpose fulfilled in your life; being how God measures value and success. Others: The Omnipotent and Omniscient God is in control; failure to abide by His will (purpose) for a man will lead to trouble and ultimate judgement. Therefore, the man who want to run and finish his course like Paul needs to find out God’s purpose for creation; God’s purpose for him and how to pursue it.

Chapter 2: Seed and Harvest
Starts with the original purpose of God for man, in terms of provision and how man lost out at the garden of God . But the nature of God demands that God redeems man and continue with His original plan. It goes forward to show the constituency of God using the numerical structure of the number 10. Illustrations used are the 10 statements that brought forth creation with emphasis on the 10th statement: Seed and Harvest. We are then told how God had given us the power of volition and told to sow so that we can harvest. 7 principles guiding Harvest are then presented to show how to sow and harvest.

Chapter 3: The Ten Generations of Corruption
There is evil in the land; just where did it come from? This is addressed as we see the 10 Generations of Cain: what they did and their lifestyles. This is compared with the godly line started by Seth up to Methuselah whose name was discussed using the meaning to fore-warn the judgement that came upon the generation of Noah. The chapter closes with a warning that as we are seeing the deeds of the evil generation again, the judgement that once ended it may just be around the corner for this generation.

Chapter 4: Ten Generations of Promise
The issue of consistency on the part of God comes to play again as we see here the 10 generations that led to the birthing of the Messiah. As moral conditions worsened, God began to warn of judgement in the names, Methuselah, Lamech with the promise of comfort in the meaning of Noah. How Noah chose to walk with God also set the standard for us in terms of intercession and acting on God’s instructions. The separation of the seeds of Noah in Genesis 10 is presented next with a linkage to Abraham who also featured in the next 10 generations.

Chapter 5: Manifesting The Glory
Different Facets of the Glory of God is discussed with the purpose also highlighted: Glory is the full expression of this nature which He wants to impart on His children. The 10 statements that declare God when Jesus was on earth further shows the nature of God. The chapter ends with 4 principles that tells you why you must choose to manifest the glory of God.

Chapter 6: Dwelling In The Presence of God
This chapter shows that the glory of God can only manifest as you choose to stay in the presence of God. Eden with it’s Hebrew meaning confirms this – only in the presence of God can a man function in the fullness of what God has made him to be. We are told how Moses understood this and sought His presence. Holiness as the condition for abiding in His presence concludes the chapter.

Chapter 7: Freedom and Security
To conclude the book we look at indices that influence our decision making processes. To highlight the importance of choosing right we look at the lifestyle of 2 animals – the Oyster and the Eagle; they describe two sets of people who are out looking for freedom and security – that is the bottom line of our choices. Righteousness is defined as right standing that produces right doing while the pursuit of security outside of God’s will brings us into unrighteousness. This is living in darkness like the Oyster, while the hardwork in the place where God has put you is the life of the Eagle. God likes little beginning, which HE displayed in the instruction HE gave the Israelites to gather manna only as they needed. Obedience to this rule shows you are humble like God is. Nature confirms this in the ants, the conies and the locusts. The conclusion is: seek wealth and the things that give you security only in the Lord – in righteousness, that when you will have liberty.

The natural mind has a tendency to take the issue of God’s judgment with levity. But not Jesus; He took it with all seriousness and told His disciples in many parables to prepare for the coming of the Lord. He even gave them SIGNS to watch out for, which will tell them of the nearness of the Coming of the Lord. But as history has proved, the SIGNS are for us, as they are just unfolding. And this, perhaps, may be the generation that will see the coming of the Lord (Rapture) and the following judgments upon mankind. This may sound sacrilegious to some, but when one considers the facts on ground (Prophecies of the End Fulfilling SIGNS OF THE END), that statement may not be too far from being the truth. The book looks some contemporary issues, which may look ordinary but are actually SIGNS OF THE END URGING US TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD.

Chapter One: Intimacy with God
The whole idea behind “Preparation” – Getting ready for the coming of the Lord is knowing the plans of God. Jesus gave this promise to His disciples in John 15: and if any proves himself/herself worthy of the title, “disciple” God would open up to such a person. He did to Abraham. Intimacy with Abraham made God to tell Abraham His intention to destroy Sodon and Gomorrah. One of the significant scriptures that come to mind when we talk about the coming of the Lord is in Luke 17:26-30 where God mentioned Noah and Lot amidst people living the everyday life. And here attention is drawn to their intimacy levels with God: Noah was instructed directly by God how to escape the judgement while it took intercession from Abraham before God agreed to exclude Lot from the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah . Martha and Mary were then used to bring out how God sees intimacy: Service to the Lord cannot replace knowing the Lord. Jesus said, Mary who sat with Him had chosen the right path. Jesus is not just the fountain of life, He’s the fountain of knowledge. The greatest element bringing destruction at this end of time is the lack of knowledge or the disregard for it. And it comes only from an intimate relationship with God.

Chapter 2 YOUTH SIGNS:
We start with a dictionary definition who a Youth is and how the fact that they belong to God should warm the “wasters of God’s heritage” not to abuse children. The different forms of abuse that prevails today are then highlighted. How does God see children? They are instruments in His hands to bring Him glory so the need to train them right becomes important. This is discussed against the background of parents encouraging their children to go into prostitution for more family income, lecturers abusing the girl child and politicians turning them to things.

Chapter 3 Youth Sign 2
Mention is made of Youths in the Bible and that Youths today can be like them, but they must know that because they are instruments in the hands of God, the Devil will attack them – to derail them from the God given calling. Herod trying to kill the child Jesus is given as example. We are then enjoined to train the child to be godly – the instrument in the hands of God. Failure to do so is the same as the spirit of Herodias who taught her daughter to defile God’s heritage – She was taught to dance to please men for reward. The same spirit is breading teen-age sex slaves all over the world. Contrasting this is the story of the lad in John 6 who was where Jesus was and was willing to give up the 5 loaves and 2 fishes that fed 5000. The chapter concludes with the prophecy in Joel 2:28-29 which emphasizes the desire of God to use youths; hence the call for youths to give themselves to the Lord.

Chapter 4 The Youth With A Mission
This chapter lists youths from Williams Booth to Columbus as a challenge to the youths of today. The question raised: If they excelled in their various fields between ages 23 – 30, where are the Youths today not excelling?

Chapter 5 Unfolding Events In Iraq
Middle East in Focus: Iraq , Iran and how the happenings here affects Israel. Using Scriptures from Hosea 5:15 we begin to trace the linkage between Iraq and Israel . There must be a decay in Israel – God relationship which will lead to God’s judgement. The culmination of this judgement will witnessing coming of the Antichrist – the man from Iraq . The importance of Iraq in the Bible is then highlighted as the location of the Garden of Eden. This was where the earthly battle between God and satan started. This is where it will end.

Chapter 6 Unfolding Events in Iraq 2
The story develops from part 1 still dwelling on Iraq as the place of rebellion against God; this time Nimrod is highlighted as the rebel. This spirit – of anti-God is then linked to the Muslims, the enemies of Israel . Next is the importance of oil: the fuel for the crisis in this region and what the removal of Saddam portends for the region. Oil is given as the reason for Armageddon. China has become a major player in the world and has recorded increased need for energy-oil. Russia is also a prophesied combatant at Armageddon. They will come looking for The Dead Sea Resources to meet economic and social needs. Other Countries that will join them in this epic battle are also traced historically from the Bible. It closes with Iraq in the Holy Bible...
