The 11th Hour

So what’s special about the 11^th hour? What is the 11^th hour? How is the phrase 11^th hour use in the bible?

The church was birthed at Pentecost, after the resurrection of Christ. 2000 years have passed since Pentecost, and the church has ventured into its 11^th hour. When we look at history, we see 2000-year cycles of important events taking place.

·         2000 years after creation was the birth of Abraham.

·         2000 years after Abraham Christ was born.

·         And now 2000 years have gone by since the birth of Christ.

We are entering into the pinnacle of the next greatest event the Bible talks about. 'The 2^nd coming of Christ'. The Bible says this event will take place in our generation. in Matthew 24: 32-36 which we call the backbone of End Time Prophecy reveals what will take place in a time such as this.

Matthew 24

³² Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

³³ So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

³⁴ Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

³⁶ But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Jesus talks about this generation, the word used here is ‘genea’, and can be translated into ‘age’. We know the sun, moves backward along the ecliptic very slowly every year, and dawns every 2000 years in a different house or age. It is interesting Jesus’s terminology points to the current age since his birth that will not pass away till all this things have taken place. It is also important to point out that many end time scholars regard this verse as reference to Israel, the ‘figtree’. Even along this argument 100 years have not passed since the rebirth of the nation on May 14^th 1948.

In Matthew 20 Jesus talks about sending labours into his vineyard.

Matthew 20 King James Version (KJV)

20 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

² And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

³ And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

⁴ And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

⁵ Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

⁶ And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

⁷ They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

⁸ So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

⁹ And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

¹⁰ But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

 He finds labourers in the 11^th hour idling around all the day and sends them in the 11^th hour to the vineyard. Jesus concludes in verse 8 stating that when evening was come the Lord of the vineyard said unto his Stewart to call (rapture) the labourers and give them their hire (rewards). This is a kingdom parable where Jesus refers to a natural phenomenon to explain a spiritual truth or a kingdom principle.

The vineyard is the world. He is the Lord of the vineyard and the Lord of the harvest. We are the labourers in the field. In verse 6 says that Jesus goes out looking for labourers in the morning, in the 3^rd hour, in the 6^th hour, the 9^th hour and then the 11^th hour. At the end of the parable Jesus returns to reward his labourers.

We are the closest generation to the final hour, and the dawning of this hour will bring forth his return. As workers in the 11^th hour we need to make sure we operate our lives, our families with understanding of the times. The Lord expects us to be more watchful, more alert for the days are drawing short. These are also the days satan knows his time is at hand, and therefore wickedness and unlawfulness upsurge all around us. But as Isaiah 60 states,

Isaiah 60 King James Version (KJV)

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

² For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

When darkness covers the earth, we arise and shine for the glory of the Lord overshadows us. Glancing around at world events is the church at large aware of the world drawing to its end time climax? More than that is the church ready for battle in this final hour? Does the church know the will and the heart of the Father for this hour?

Jesus said, ‘Watch and Pray’. Watch the signs of the times.

·         Increase of nuclear weapons

·         Formation of one world government and religion

·         Cashless societies

·         Rise of satan worship

·         Believers of aliens and extra-terrestrial beings

·         Alienated from the doctrines of the Word of God

·         Rise of witchcraft and magical doctrines in the church

From the point of view of the church the Lord expects the ‘true Sons of God’ to arise grounded in their mantle, and shine as the church reaches its climax.
