A Kingdom Revolution for the Final Hour

While We Wait - The Final Hour

Jesus told His disciples plainly: “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36). For two thousand years, Christians have lived with the reality that His return could happen at any time. Yet the Bible also points to signs that would mark the season of His coming, and for the first time in human history, we are seeing all of them converge at once.

Israel, the clock of prophecy, is back in her land after centuries of exile, fulfilling promises given through the prophets (Ezekiel 37). Jerusalem is under Jewish control, setting the stage for end-time events foretold in Zechariah, Daniel, 1 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, Revelation, and more.

Technology now allows global surveillance, economic tracking, and even the possibility of a cashless system tied to buying and selling — realities unthinkable until our generation. Meanwhile, moral darkness deepens across nations. What was once shameful is celebrated; what was once righteous is mocked. Jesus Himself warned that “because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold” Matthew 24:12.

But perhaps the most urgent sign of all is the spiritual and emotional collapse of a generation of young people. Despair, anxiety, and suicide rates have reached levels never before seen. Children are not only dying physically but are perishing spiritually, cut off from the hope and truth that only Christ provides. Their plight reveals not just a social crisis, but a spiritual emergency that demands the attention of the Church.

We are not here to indulge in idle speculation or to chase end-time theories. This is not about charts, dates, or sensational predictions. This is a call to readiness. The words of Jesus ring clear: “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). While we wait for that trumpet sound, we are not called to fold our arms and look to the sky. We are called to Kingdom action.

This series is not about living our “best life now.” It is about preparing for eternal life with Christ, rescuing those trapped in darkness, and advancing God’s Kingdom with urgency. We are living in the final hour, and while we wait for our Bridegroom, we must be found faithful.

The Crisis: A Generation in Despair

When we open the pages of Scripture, we see that life and hope are always bound to the presence of God. In Genesis 2:7, “the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” True life comes only from God. Yet when humanity turns away from Him, death follows. We are witnessing this reality in our own generation.

The statistics should stop us in our tracks. In Utah alone, nearly 700 precious souls took their lives in 2023. Among high schoolers, 37% report feeling persistently hopeless, 23% have seriously considered suicide, and nearly 10% have attempted it. These are not just “numbers.” They are children, created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), yet suffocating under despair so deep that death appears more desirable than life.

This crisis reveals more than a mental health problem; it reveals a spiritual famine. Amos 8:11–12 prophesied of a day when there would be “a famine... not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.”

Children today are starving for truth. They are fed performance-driven religion, counterfeit revelations, and the lies of secular psychology, but none of these can give them the hope of eternal life. Jesus said plainly, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing” (John 6:63). Human wisdom, no matter how sophisticated, cannot replace the life-giving Word of God.

For those in Mormonism, this crisis strikes close to home. The burden of a works-based gospel—where God’s love is equated with one’s performance—crushes young people beneath expectations they can never meet.

Galatians 3:10 warns, “For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse.” When a teenager believes that God will only love them if they attend every meeting, perform every ordinance, and remain flawlessly obedient, the weight of despair becomes unbearable. No wonder hopelessness is epidemic.

For non-believers, the hypocrisy of Mormonism—and of cultural Christianity—only deepens their disdain. They see young lives destroyed by systems that promise light but deliver bondage. Jesus condemned such hypocrisy, declaring to the Pharisees, “You shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in” (Matthew 23:13). Hypocrisy drives many away, but it also testifies that false religion cannot save.

For ex-Mormons, the scars are real. They know the crushing burden of a false gospel. Many walk away bitter, wounded, or skeptical of anything labeled “Christian.” Yet to them, Jesus whispers, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). True rest is found not in abandoning faith altogether, but in discovering Christ’s finished work on the cross.

For carnal Christians, this crisis is a rebuke. While pulpits preach self-improvement and life-coaching slogans, children are perishing in darkness. James 1:27 reminds us that “pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” The Gospel is not about comfort but about sacrifice, service, and truth.

Finally, for the remnant—God’s chosen and faithful—the crisis is a call to arms. The Bridegroom is coming, and the Bride must make herself ready (Revelation 19:7). The Great Commission is not optional; it is the mission of every true disciple (Matthew 28:19–20). While the world crumbles in despair, the remnant rises with the light of Christ, proclaiming hope in the darkest places.

This is the crisis of our time: a generation dying without truth. And this is the challenge to the Church: will we continue in silence, or will we rise with prophetic urgency to proclaim the only hope that saves—the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The Mission: Saving the Children

In every age of history, God has called His people to rise in defense of the innocent. Psalm 82:4 commands, “Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.” Today, that divine call has never been more urgent. A generation is perishing in despair. Children are enslaved by lies. And the only hope is the eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ, proclaimed with clarity and lived with courage.

The mission of this series can be summarized in three words: Save the Children. Not through political reform, social programs, or human philosophies—but through the transforming power of the Word of God.

The Gospel is not self-help. It is the announcement that Jesus Christ has conquered sin, death, and hell through His finished work on the cross. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel,” Paul declared, “for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

Exposing the Roots of Despair

We must be clear about why so many young people, especially in Utah and throughout the Mormon corridor (the Great Basin Region), are drowning in hopelessness. False religion tells them that God’s love must be earned. Secular psychology tells them they are nothing more than a bundle of chemicals and trauma. The government tells them that identity can be legislated. Each system replaces truth with deception, and the fruit is despair. Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”

Proclaiming the Gospel of Grace

The antidote to despair is grace. Grace announces that God loves us not because of what we do, but because of who He is and what Christ has done. Ephesians 2:8–9 proclaims, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” This is the truth that shatters chains, lifts burdens, and rescues children from darkness. The Book of Mormon is a fabrication, do not believe “After all you can do!” It is the biggest lie ever told.

Equipping the Church for Action

But saving children requires more than good intentions. It requires spiritual discernment to recognize deception, biblical courage to confront false systems, and Kingdom strategy to build communities of grace where children can thrive.

James 1:22 reminds us, “Prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” We must move beyond sentiment to REAL sacrificial action. Be prepared to deny self, pick up your cross, and follow Jesus–go love the unlovable. Share the Gospel.

Looking Ahead: The Series Roadmap

This introductory post is only the beginning. Over the coming days, we will publish five in-depth articles that unpack this mission in detail:

The Foundation of Stewardship — rediscovering God’s ownership of all things.

The Failure of Human Wisdom — exposing the collapse of secular psychology.

The Counterfeit Gospels — comparing Mormonism, Islam, and other false systems with Christ’s Kingdom.

The Enemy’s Strategy — unmasking Satan’s rebellion and tactics in our generation.

The Preparation of the Saints — building grace-filled communities and preparing for the days ahead.

Each of these articles will expand on the themes introduced here, offering both a biblical diagnosis and a practical roadmap for Kingdom action.

A Kingdom Mandate

We cannot overstate the urgency. The King is coming. The trumpet may sound at any moment. But if He tarries, He must find us working. Jesus said, “We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4). This is our mission. This is our mandate. This is why this series exists.

The Foundation: Biblical Stewardship

Every great work of God begins with a foundation. Jesus said, “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). Without a firm foundation, every structure will eventually collapse.

For the Church, the foundation is not human wisdom, tradition, or culture — it is the recognition that Jesus Christ is Lord, and everything belongs to Him.

Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the LORD’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it.” This single verse dismantles every false claim of ownership. Nothing belongs to us — not our wealth, not our families, not even our own lives.

Christ is the true Owner; we are merely stewards. Stewardship is not a metaphor; it is a spiritual reality. To be a Christian is to live as a faithful manager of what belongs to God.

Why Stewardship Matters for Utah and Beyond

In Utah, where Mormon culture often equates God’s favor with performance, stewardship re-centers everything on grace. The false gospel of works tells children, “God will love you if you do enough.” But true biblical stewardship declares: “God already loves you, and everything you have is His gift. Your role is to manage it in obedience, not to earn His affection.” This contrast is not small; it is the dividing line between despair and hope.

Jesus illustrated stewardship in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30). The master entrusted his servants with varying amounts, expecting them to invest wisely. The faithful servants multiplied what was given, while the unfaithful servant buried his portion in fear. The lesson is clear: what we do with God’s resources reveals whether we trust Him.

When Mormons equate God’s love with flawless performance, they live in fear of failure. But Jesus calls us to faithful stewardship, empowered by His grace, not paralyzed by the burden of works.

The Fruit of True Stewardship

If God’s people embraced biblical stewardship, the transformation would be radical. Imagine if families viewed children not as burdens, but as God’s heritage (Psalm 127:3). Imagine if time, money, and influence were invested not in self-advancement, but in the expansion of the Kingdom. Suicide rates would plummet because worth would no longer be tied to performance. Addiction would lose its grip as people learned to surrender desires to the true Owner. Communities would shine with Kingdom life, demonstrating to the world that Christ reigns even now in the lives of His people.

Paul reinforces this in 1 Corinthians 4:2: “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” Stewardship is not about comfort or accumulation; it is about faithfulness. Carnal Christians must hear this. To use Scripture as a self-help manual for “your best life now” is to miss the very essence of discipleship. We are not owners but managers. Our lives are not ours to keep, but God’s to use for His glory. Get to work, by Grace working through love.

Looking Ahead

In one of the upcoming in-depth articles, we will dive deeper into the Revolution of Biblical Stewardship — exploring how living as faithful stewards dismantles false religion, restores broken families, and equips God’s remnant to labor with joy while we wait for Christ’s return.

For now, let us remember: we are not building our kingdoms, but His. “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

The Failure of Human Systems

When man rejects God’s Word, he always substitutes it with something else — and that substitute always fails. Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Every false system, whether religious or secular, promises hope but delivers despair. Our generation is living proof.

Secular Psychology’s Broken Promises

For more than a century, secular psychology has claimed to hold the answers to human despair. Entire industries have been built on the promise of mental and emotional healing apart from God. Yet despite endless theories, therapies, and medications, suicide rates are climbing, not falling.

Anxiety and depression are epidemic. Families are fractured. The evidence is undeniable: human wisdom cannot heal the human soul, but it can clearly destroy it.

Paul confronted this in Corinth, a city filled with philosophy and human speculation. He wrote, “Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” (1 Corinthians 1:20).

The world’s wisdom is powerless because it cannot deal with the root of our problem: sin. Human systems can analyze behavior, but only the blood of Jesus can cleanse the conscience and restore life (Hebrews 9:14).

The Burden of False Religion

At the same time, false religion heaps unbearable burdens on its followers. Mormon doctrine teaches that salvation is dependent on performance — temple ordinances, genealogical work, priesthood duties, and endless striving. Yet the Bible declares, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

When young people are told that God’s acceptance hinges on flawless obedience, they are driven to despair before they are old enough to cope with lies and deception and to fight back with truth. This is not the Gospel; it is slavery.

Jesus confronted this very thing when He rebuked the religious leaders of His day: “They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger” (Matthew 23:4). Legalism crushes the spirit; grace gives life.

Grace Supplies, Law (works) always demands and never lifts a finger to help.

Government Solutions Without God

Governments, too, promise solutions. New programs, new funding, new policies — but none can address the heart of the problem. Jeremiah 17:5 declares, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD.”

At best, human systems can restrain behavior for a season. They cannot change hearts. Only Christ can.

The Only True Hope

Psalm 146:3–5 reminds us, “Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation… How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” Our hope does not rest in therapy, in religion, or in government, but in Jesus Christ. When He said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), He left no room for substitutes.

Looking Ahead

In the next article of this series, we will look more deeply at the collapse of secular psychology and the futility of human wisdom. We will examine why decades of human-centered solutions have not only failed but worsened the crisis, and how the Church can recover a truly biblical model of healing through discipleship, grace, and the living Word of God.

For now, let us take this truth to heart: every human system apart from Christ will collapse. “Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it” (Psalm 127:1).

False Gospels and Deception

Jesus and the apostles gave repeated warnings that deception would be the hallmark of the last days.

In Matthew 24:24, Jesus said, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

Paul warned in Galatians 1:8, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!” These warnings were not idle.

They were prophetic — and we are living in their fulfillment.

Mormonism: A Counterfeit Gospel

For those within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the claims of Mormonism can feel inseparable from family, culture, and community. Yet when examined by Scripture, Mormonism fails every biblical test of truth.

Joseph Smith claimed to restore the true Gospel, but the Bible declares that the faith was “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). There is no need for restoration — only belief in the Gospel that Christ and His apostles already proclaimed.

Mormonism’s salvation system is works-based, tying God’s love to temple rituals, genealogical work, and lifelong striving.

But Romans 4:5 says, “To the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.”

True salvation is not earned; it is received as a gift. The tragic fruit of Mormon legalism is despair — children crushed under the lie that they must earn God’s favor.

Islam: Another False System

Islam follows the same pattern. Both Joseph Smith and Muhammad claimed angelic revelation. Both created systems of works-based righteousness enforced by institutional authority. Both contradict the simple Gospel of grace.

Paul feared exactly this: “I am afraid, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3).

The Pattern of Satanic Deception

When we examine Mormonism, Islam, and every other counterfeit gospel, the blueprint is always the same: question God’s Word, offer “new revelation,” demand works for salvation, and bind people under fear and control. It’s always feelings over Biblical doctrine, and submission to the prophet over Biblical doctrine.

2 Corinthians 11:14 reminds us, “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” What may appear beautiful, holy, and sincere is in reality a lie designed to enslave.

The Way of Grace

The true Gospel is radically different. It proclaims freedom, not bondage; grace, not works; relationship, not ritual. Jesus said in John 8:31–32, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Freedom is the mark of Christ’s Gospel. Bondage is the mark of Satan’s counterfeits.

Looking Ahead

In the upcoming article, we will carefully lay out the biblical tests for discerning true from false prophets and apply them directly to Mormonism and Islam. We will demonstrate how Joseph Smith fails every scriptural test and why no system that denies the finished work of Christ can offer salvation.

This is not hatred. It is love. To speak the truth is to extend rescue. As Paul wrote, “Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16). Our goal is not to attack but to set free, calling every hearer into the grace of Jesus Christ.

The Enemy’s Strategy

Every battle begins with knowing the enemy. Too often, the Church underestimates Satan, treating him like a myth or reducing him to a cartoon villain. Yet the Bible reveals a very real adversary who seeks to destroy God’s creation.

Peter warns, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). To ignore Satan’s strategy is to walk into battle unarmed.

Satan’s Rebellion

Isaiah 14 pulls back the curtain on Satan’s original rebellion. In verses 13–14, we hear his five “I wills”: “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God… I will make myself like the Most High.” His sin was pride — the desire to seize what belonged to God alone.

That same spirit of rebellion is at work today, replicated in every false system, every human attempt to replace divine authority with self-rule.

Ezekiel 28 further describes his corruption, once an anointed cherub, now twisted by pride. His downfall serves as a warning: pride always leads to destruction.

Proverbs 16:18 declares, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.”

When we see religious leaders claiming authority beyond God’s Word, when we see governments demanding absolute loyalty, we are witnessing echoes of Satan’s rebellion.

Satan’s Tactics

Satan has never needed new tricks; his original tactics still work. He lies, he accuses, and he destroys. Jesus called him “a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).

Revelation 12:10 names him “the accuser of our brethren.” John 10:10 sums up his mission: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.”

From Eden to our present day, these tactics remain unchanged. He whispers lies that undermine God’s Word, burdens people with guilt and accusation, and seeks their destruction.

Mormonism and Islam illustrate his craft. Both began with angelic revelations that contradicted Scripture.

Both promise salvation through works.

Both enslave their followers with fear and control.

These are not coincidences; they are evidence of a single enemy running the same playbook across centuries and cultures.

Victory in Christ

But while Satan’s strategy is ancient and relentless, God has not left His people defenseless.

Ephesians 6 describes the armor of God: truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer.

Revelation 12:11 tells us how believers overcome: “They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” Victory does not come from human strength but from Christ’s finished work.

Romans 8:37 assures us, “In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” We fight from victory, not for victory. The cross has already sealed Satan’s defeat.
Our task is to stand firm, resist the devil, and proclaim the truth that sets captives free.

Looking Ahead

In the detailed article to follow, we will expose Satan’s strategies in greater depth, examining how pride, deception, and rebellion manifest in false religion, secular culture, and even within the Church.

More importantly, we will equip God’s remnant with the full arsenal of spiritual weapons, training them to stand as conquerors in the final hour.
