Time Has Come (Pt. 1)

I couldn’t be more excited about my new book, “Time Has Come.” This book has been many years in the making, and for me personally, it’s the most significant work of my life in print.

Almost 25 years ago when I was in prison, I studied every word of the book of Revelation and God illuminated things to me that I had never seen before.  I hadn’t seen them because I was too busy building and expanding Heritage USA.  I loved Jesus, but it took a prison experience for me to “come away” with Him and get still long enough to develop a deep relationship with Him – deeper than I had ever had before in the spotlight of celebrity renown – and deep enough that He could trust me with the mysteries He wanted to reveal to me.   

When I came out of prison, I had over 400 typewritten pages of study on the book of Revelation, and a new perspective on the emphasis of my teaching ministry for the rest of my life.  Where I had previously taught a regurgitated prosperity message, I now knew that not only was I wrong, but the Revelation message was diametrically opposed to what I had been teaching. 

These studies and this perspective are what I now share in my new book, “Time Has Come.”  The book of Revelation is a mystery to most people, even those who are within the Church, but it shouldn’t be – especially not now because it is happening right before our eyes.  If the Church is asleep and cannot see that this age is about to come to an end and that Jesus is coming very, very soon, and its leaders do not preach the return of Jesus (in favor of a much more upbeat message), then the consequences are almost too terrible to ponder. 

I received a few invitations to preach shortly after I was released from prison, but I was shocked and appalled when I heard time after time, “Jim, you can preach anything but the Revelation.  We don’t want to scare our people and the Revelation is such a heavy topic.”

  2. There is one thing more that has been laid on my heart to say. Nobody can change the word of God. They cannot add to it, and they cannot take away from it. The last page of Revelation quotes this exactly and says what will happen if anyone adds or takes away from ‘this book’. There are many religions out there who distort the faith. There are those who only believe in the New Testamant,those who only believe in the Old Testament, those who believe in a combination of the Bible and other faiths combined, and some who just plain don’t believe at all. Most of all, to anyone who thinks that Jesus Christ is only a prophet, you really need to change your mind about that. Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Therefore, he is God. You must believe that, in John 3:16, and that the entire Bible is the word of God, and to be saved by his grace in order to be able to enter into Heaven. Jesus said, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” So this is also very important. I know that you know all of these things, and I hope all who are contacting you realize this too.

  3. Dear Jim
    Revelation is what it’s all about right now, and has been since Israel got some of their land back in 1948. We all know that they do not have near the land that the Lord gave them, and it’s very important that they get it, including the city of Jerusalem. Of course, we know that won’t happen until Christ comes back. They will have to agree to give up more and more of it, until the anti-christ makes them sign the 7 year peace treaty that will be violated within the 7 years, (42 months after the signing of it), to cause the most bloodshed that the world has ever seen. The anti-christ will be responsible for that as we all know. But before he can totally finish off the earth and the rest of the righteous people on it, Jesus will come back with all glory and power, and on that day the devil, his anti-christ, and all of his followers will be defeated. The ones who will end up suffering the most in the end, are those who are thoroughly going against God’s Holy Law and not asking for any forgiveness. It will be those who do not believe in the holy sanctity of marriage. It will be those who do not follow the plan of the traditional man and wife for forever that God set up from the beginning. It will be for those who follow false religions and not the one that was planned for their salvation. It will be for those who kill the innocent who don’t deserve to die. It will be for those who do not help in spreading the word of God. It will be for anyone who goes against the Jewish State of Israel as in the Bible it says, he would bless those who bless them, and curse those who curse them. He would also curse those who take away any of the Biblical lands which they originally inherited through his promise, or who do not recognize that land as being rightfully theirs. We as Christian believers are grafted into the line of God’s chosen through our faith in Jesus Christ. We are supposed to take the fullness of his word back to them as a remnant of them are supposed to be saved for the glory of God. In the meantime, many horrible things are going to happen to us here on earth. Many will have to die for their faith. These are just the true facts. People need to be scared. They need to be scared enough to wake up, evaluate their lives and their faith, and they need to get physically ready for rough times that we’re gonna face, and also they need to spiritually be ready for when their time comes to meet God face to face. Don’t be afraid to scare people. If that’s what it takes to bring them home, then it’s better to be a little scared now, then eternally damned and doomed forever. Lately, I have felt the need to stand up for this message. However, most will not listen at this point, and many don’t feel the need to listen to me. But a few do who really know more of what this is all about. I still need to learn more myself, but God has made me aware of many things even though I am not worthy to know of them. I feel the need to help in some way.

  4. Pastor Jim I have been a follower of your ministry (ministries) since the late 1970’s. I truly enjoy your preaching. Looking forward to acquiring your new book. You are truly a great man of God.

  5. Jim, I have pre ordered your book, I can’t wait to read it! I’m so ready for Jesus to come back and bring my loved ones back to me. I watch your show plus Jack Van Impe, Irin Baxter, and Hal Lindsay everyweek and you are all saying the same things. But Jim is the only one to tell everyone we should prepare which I agree with. We live in dangerous times but it is a great honor also to be here for the last days of Christ Return. God Bless you Jim, Lori, Tammy Sue, Jay, always. You have inspired my faith and been such a blessing in my sad world.
    Hugs,
    Heidi

  6. Pastor Jim, I have enjoyed your teaching and preaching of Revelation along with the end times too and how to get prepared…it sadden me when trying to tell my family and well they ask where I get the information, then I tell them; then they think about what happened in past tense.
    I guess that I do not understand why people can not open their hearts and minds and forgive? after watching the series on John Lynch’s GRACE it came to mind why people could not forgive and forget then be open minded, so instead of fighting I used GRACE on the situation along with PRAYER too!
    I would like to thank you for building a place to save GOD’s babies for they are so precious in his sight! plus thank you for getting the word out on Revelation and how to prepare and eat healthy too!
    Please keep on bringing the messages and prophets too for we do need to keep on hearing the word until JESUS COMES BACK!!!
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart and hats off to you and Lori too!

  7. great to hear from you
    and the great things going on with you
    I pray for the success of the many terrific things
    that HE has called you to do

  8. Jim,
    Keep preaching this…despite whether people want to hear it or not, they need to be warned. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 “I charge [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom:

    2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.

    3 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold,

    4 And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.

    5 As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry.” (AMP)

    We are called to be the watchmen…we are called to warn the people.

  9. Time Has Come
    Dear Sir,
    This is a great title for Revelation.
    The people need to know the truth.
    Your experience I’m sure brought you revelations that not many people on this planet know about!
    Sir, your study of every word of revelation in your prison years, and the wisdom you had to ‘put the word of god on paper’, and now a book is a must for people to read and be aware of ‘Time as Come’.

    Revelation chapter 22:10 says:-
    And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. (KJV)

    The truth needs to be told to the people!

    Thank you very much for your inspiration.

    We thank you Jesus for the liberating truth of your word. Amen.

    God bless.
