THE HEART OF GOD CONCERNING THE ENDTIMES
When we speak about the heart of God in these end times, it is important to understand that the end times are not only about judgment, tribulation, or prophetic events. At its core, the end times reveal God’s deepest desire for humanity. Even as the world grows darker, the heart of God remains the same: to seek, to save, to warn, and to prepare a people for His Son.
1. God’s Heart Is Still Salvation
The first and foremost desire of God in these last days is the salvation of souls. God is not eager to destroy the world; He is patient because He desires that people repent.
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” — 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The delay of Christ’s return is actually an expression of divine mercy. God is giving humanity time to turn to Him. Every day the gospel is preached, every missionary sent, every soul won reflects the heartbeat of God for redemption.
2. God’s Heart Is to Prepare a Pure Bride
Another central theme of God’s heart in the end times is the preparation of the Church. Christ is coming back not merely for a religious institution, but for a holy and prepared people.
“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” — Ephesians 5:27 (KJV)
God is calling believers to deeper holiness, repentance, and spiritual awakening. The end times are therefore not only prophetic events; they are a call to purification and consecration.
3. God’s Heart Is the Great Commission
Before Jesus ascended, He gave a final command that still echoes powerfully in these last days:
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” — Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
The heart of God in the end times is global evangelism. The gospel must reach every tribe, nation, and language. The end will not come until this mission advances.
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” — Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
This means the Church must rise with urgency. Evangelism, missions, and discipleship are not optional—they are central to God’s end-time agenda.
4. God’s Heart Is Warning and Mercy
Throughout Scripture, before judgment comes, God always sends warnings through His servants. Prophets, apostles, evangelists, and pastors are raised up to call people back to God.
Just as Noah warned the world before the flood, and Jonah warned Nineveh, God is still raising voices today to call humanity to repentance.
These warnings are not expressions of anger, but expressions of mercy. God warns because He loves.
5. God’s Heart Is Restoration and Revival
Even though Scripture tells us that darkness will increase in the last days, it also reveals that God will pour out His Spirit.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh.” — Acts 2:17 (KJV)
Before Christ returns, there will be waves of revival, global harvest, and supernatural move of the Holy Spirit. The harvest will be great, and many will come to the knowledge of Christ.
In summary
The heart of God in these end times can be seen in five powerful desires:
a. Salvation for the lost
b. Purification of the Church
c. Urgency of the Great Commission
d. Warning to a sinful world
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit and global harvest
For believers, the end times should not create fear but responsibility and urgency. We are living in a generation that must pray more, evangelize more, and prepare the Church for the return of Christ.
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me…” — Revelation 22:12 (KJV)
