There's been a lot of talk in recent days about the end of the world. From movies about the Mayan calendar, to R.V.'s driving around the country warning people about the end, we have become fascinated and intrigued by the possibility of knowing when it's all going to end. There are even people warning us that May 21, 2011 will mark the beginning of "Judgment Day" and that the end of the world will come 5 months later. Most mainstream Evangelical Christians say that you can't know the time when the end will come. I, on the other hand, being what I would consider a mainstream Evangelical Christian, believe that we can know when the end will come. I would even dare to say that I know when this is all going to end.
In the 24th chapter of the Book of Matthew, Jesus is having a conversation with His disciples. His disciples, like most people, were curious to know when the end would come and what signs there would be to mark the coming of the end.
“As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Matthew 24:3
At this point, Jesus goes on for 48 verses explaining the signs that they can expect to see before the end. Now, this passage is often used to defend the position that no one can know the hour or the day in which these things will happen (Matthew 24:36). However, at a closer reading, we see that Jesus actually gives us a sign to determine when these things will come to pass.
Matthew 24:14 says "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Jesus clearly gives his disciples a time frame as to when these things would happen. The coming of the end is not based on some unknown event or whenever God feels like it. It is actually dependant on us. Jesus says, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Emphasis added) The coming of the end is dependant on the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached throughout the whole world. For centuries we have been waiting on a move of God and God has been waiting for us to move.
God left the timeline for these things in the hands of His church. We are commissioned to take the Gospel of the Kingdom into the whole world (Matthew 28:18-20). This has yet to occur. There are still people in the world who have yet to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom. God has given us all authority to do so. So what are we waiting for? We have an obligation to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the Earth. I may not be able to tell you an exact day or time when these things will happen, but with 100% certainty I can tell you when it’s not going to happen. May 21, 2011.

dutiful introduction
A Dearest Readers,
The messages Jesus is dictating to me these days and that will be published in the next months, definitely trace the path towards the events awaiting us. Therefore, I felt I had the duty to write this introduction, to help you enter more deeply in the subject you will be reading.
Up to today I shared with you the revelations I received from God. In my first book, Beyond the Great Barrier that ends with the 15th chapter entitled “The new Creation”, I amply presented to you the central message of the revelations received, that is: recapitulate in Christ all things in heaven and on earth. I tried to lead you to the events that have to do with the Earth and the universe. These days, Jesus told me that in the next months He wants to prepare us to face those events awaiting us in the immediate future.
How to face such events? I believe that in these years, through the many explanations I received and I communicated to you, we obtained the grace of understanding the interior walk which prepares us to enter the mind of Christ and to understand the mystery of God and of life, to elevate and transform us to the point of becoming new creatures. I spoke to you about this spiritual walk in particular in the book Writing History Anew – Vol. 1 In the mind of God. Furthermore, you have been accompanied by the messages published every month on this site; these messages continue and they introduce us, more and more, to a serious phase of preparation and decision making.
I cannot comment on these messages. Jesus Himself and His Holy Spirit will explain them to you in your heart. An answer is expected from you to understand the words that you will read. universe, so that the promises of God may be realized.Finally, it is up to each one of us to commit ourselves, for the Earth and for the whole

“My Father is at work until now, so I am at work”
(John 5:17)
“I bless you my children! Today I wish to speak to you about God’s work in these times and about the general picture in which your life and your mission is inserted.
“Try to understand, above all, that you did not happen to be in the reality in which you are by accident, but you are here because of a precise divine project. Whatever you might think about yourselves or others might think about you, know that your life is precious and irreplaceable in the time and place in which you find yourselves to be, according to God’s projects. You have been preordained for this reality, and for this reason God gave you irreplaceable and original potentialities. No one in the universe is equal to you, because God’s creativity is unlimited and inexhaustable, and because each one of you is absolutely unique in his being and in his way of acting.
“Unfortunatly, many on Earth live below their potentiality, because they do not make of themselves a gift to Me. I am the only One to know pefectly the Father’s project for each one of you, because from Him I received the order to bring to completion His work in every person. I am acting in you by the power of the Holy Spirit, who enlightens you, cloaks you, constantly inspires you pointing out the avenue towards Me, so that I might reveal to you the Will of the Father for each one of you.
Without me you shall never truly be able to know yourselves, nor to be able to understand what is asked of you to do in this life.
“The Holy Spirit and I are constantely at work in order to realize the Father’s project in each one of you, but we can do this only with the help of your freedom, that is, only when you willingly and freely choose to love and serve God and you offer to Him your life. This is the indispensable condition so that your potentialities activate and are at work. In fact, by the moment you decide to live for God and to be totally abandoned to His will, within you the action of the Holy Trinity starts working, and little by little, transforms your life and your thoughts. Thus, you are beginning to become conscious of who you are in God and to make a mark on reality, a creative mark, because it is divine creativity working in you. I wish you to be conscious about what I am saying to you, because the knowledge that God is active in you, independently from your human limitations and frailties, is determinant for your mission in the time in which you live.
“Yours is a grand time and a difficult time for the entire universe. Grandiose for the power of the events that the hand of God is preparing, and difficult because it is a time of battle with the powers of evil, an always more open battle.
All this does not refer to the planet earth alone, but to the entire creation and all the people who inhabit many other planets. I have already told you that they are children of God as you are, and that I gave My life for them as well. They are your brothers in whom the project of My Father has to be perfectly accomplished, just as it is in yours.
“What is the project of the Father? To bring back the entire creation to the state of integrity and perfection it had before original sin; to bring back every person to the dignity and glory of a child of God. All men and every creature that exists in the universe must be made free from corruption and death which infiltrated themselves in the work of God because of the sin of your forefathers. Humanity must return to a correct relationship with God, by recognizing His authority and by submitting to His guide. How is the Father going to realize this project? By recapitulating all creation in Me, since He gave Me all power in the whole universe.
