The Great Awakening

About the Book

In this book, William D. Holmes talks about how Christians has strayed away from the way God commanded for them to live in the Bible. As the generations change, so has the way people live change. What the Bible teaches regarding holiness should remain the same throughout each generation. Although what has happen is Satan has enlighten some people to try to modernize the teachings of Holiness and the things that the bible say Christians should not do. They will say it is nothing wrong with it. By so doing, they will mislead the people back into the world dressing and acting just like the heathens. It will be that there will be no difference in the church people and the world. The church will turn into a social club. It is the job of Satan to lead as many souls as he can into the fires of hell. It is time to clean house and return back to God, serving him in holiness and righteousness all the days of your life. I will talk about the false prophets and their impact on the church and the coming of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast. I will talk about the end-times with the four horses and two witnesses with their impact on the world—the coming of the Son of Man in his glory, God’s wrath upon the earth. First and second resurrections with judgment at the great throne of the almighty and the millennium and a glimpse of heaven and hell. The final defeat of Satan and the demons with the new world order and much more will I go over in the power pack book. I am writing by leading and revelation of the Holy Ghosts. These events were given to me by God. We all should know no man knows the day or hour Jesus will return. Only God the Father knows. The immortal world is hidden from us on this side. But this book only gives you an idea picture of what is to come. May God speak to your heart as you read this book. It is time to live holy for Jesus and be ready for the soon coming king and rapture of the Church.

When he went to church he saw the saints of God acted the same as his mother and father.
