It is amazing just how rapidly the world
is careening towards its final destination with God's promised conclusion. ...
I've been a 'watchman' of God's prophetic word for some 35+ years, and NEVER
have I seen such a confluence of events converging with such rapid succession.
... Let me for just a moment review some of the events so as to give you, the
reader, a more complete understanding of just what I'm talking about here .....
To start, let's just look at America's
rapid decline. .. Could any of you have seen such a catastrophic fall just a
couple of years ago? ... It is amazing to observe this current crowd of
'deceivers' in power right now! .. They stand before us and spit out their
blatant lies as well as instructing their minions to intimidate anyone who they
perceive as standing in the way of their ultimate agenda ... a godless,
socialist society with privileges for only the elite, and the eventual
evolution to a globalized form of government. .... The prophetic significance
of this of course is the ultimate demise of the remaining world's superpower so
as to allow such a world government to come into being. .... It is happening,
right before our very eyes!
Another significant sign of the times is
the rapidly increasing isolation of the State of Israel. ... Since their
rebirth as a nation in 1948, they have been opposed by much of the world, but
now even America, her longstanding staunch ally, is pulling away from her. ....
The prophet Zechariah said this would be the case in the final days. .. He said
in his chapters 12 & 14 that she would be surrounded by ALL nations in that
time. ... Well? ... Even the UN singles out this tiny state as the biggest
offender of human rights in the entire world, while disregarding hell-holes
like Sudan, North Korea, and most all Muslim-led Christian-persecuting nations.
.... It simply equates to 'spiritual blindness' by an unbelieving world. ..
What else .... Certainly the rise of
Russia & China right now is BIG. .. The kings of the East & North are
rattling their sabers more and more each day ... and interestingly, from a
prophetic point of view at least, is the increasingly friendly relationship
between Russia & Iran. .. Never in history have these two nations had any
sort of relationship .. until now. .. Why so important? ... Just read Ezekiel
38 & 39! ... Magog (Russia) and Persia (Iran) will come against the
Israelites in one of the final battles leading up to the last one - Armageddon!
... It can't be far off ....
And then there's the Pope. ... His
efforts to 'coalesce' the world's religions is nothing short of breathtaking to
us 'watchers' ... Who could have ever imagined to see such a quick reversal of
church 'tradition' in order to make this happen?! .... "We all worship the
same God? .. Atheists are going to heaven?" ... Once again, the Bible
tells us this would be the case in the final days. ... Just look at Revelation
17. .. It speaks of the world church coming upon the scene which is referred to
as the "Great Whore" or "Prostitute," which will be the
ultimate partner of the coming world ruler - the anti-christ. ... It is my
personal belief that a Pope & Vatican (Rome) will be the ultimate leader
and headquarters for this coming world church -- Remember, Rome is the City on
7 Hills."
Of course there's so much more happening
right before our eyes. ... For the sake of time., I will be brief in my next
prophetic 'reminders' .... *The destruction of Damascus - This has never
happened in history but it is now surrounded by civil chaos and war - It will
happen soon (Isaiah 17:1) .... *The rebuilding of the 3rd temple - If you
follow Israel's news sites at all, you will see quite a bit of discussion on
this right now. .. Why is this important to prophecy? .. The coming world ruler
is said to enter this temple in the middle of the Tribulation. ... That simply
can't happen unless there is one!
(see Daniel 9) ... *The Reviving Roman
Empire - This, of course, is the continuing cohesion of the European Union,
which encompasses most of the geography of the original Roman Empire. .. We
will continue to see the emergence of this organization as a more dominant
player on the world scene. .. Especially watch Germany. .. Also, the coming
world ruler will rise out of one of these nations. .. In fact, I believe he is
alive today. ... Just wait & see! ... *The coming Global Government - None
can deny that most all of today's world leaders are talking about globalization.
.. And then we have the likes of the UN, The IMF, Central & global banking
organizations, the list goes on & on ... It will be upon us before we know
it! ... Don't believe me? .. Just look at the only country that could have
stopped it .. US!
There's so much else I could share such
as the knowledge explosion prophesied in Daniel 12:4, wars and rumors of wars,
record-breaking weather events almost on a daily level, the incredible increase
in the world's earthquake activity, world-wide famine increasing,
super-volcanoes such as Yellowstone & Iceland coming out of dormancy, civil
chaos and moral decay increasing at unprecedented levels ..... You get the
picture, and yes, we are seeing it 'right before our very eyes!'
As scary and intimidating as all this may
seem to some of you, the amazing thing is that most of the world is in total
denial of these events! ... I know I refer to the "Days of Noah" a
lot in Matthew 24:37-39, but it is simply astounding to me that more don't see
what is happening! .... In fact, those of us that try and remind the world of
these events are rapidly become public enemy #1's! .... People just don't want
to hear about it. ... All they want is for all things to go on as before, and
refuse to be bothered by it all! ... How sad, and 'eternally' deadly!
While I realize the Bible is clear that
no one will know the exact time of our Lord's return (Matthew 25:13), we are
told by the scriptures that we will know the 'season.' ... 1 Thessalonians
5:2-6 says this ... "For you know very well that the day of the Lord will
come like a thief in the night. While
people are saying 'peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly,
as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness so
that this day should surprise you like a thief.
You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the
darkness. So then, let us not be like
others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled."
This passage tells us that yes, Jesus is
coming 'like a thief in the night,' but then it proceeds to tell us that this
will be true ONLY for the pagan world and Not for believers. .. His return
should be NO surprise to those of us who really know Him and His Word. .. We have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to
give us understanding of the nature of the times. ...
OK ... Enough for now. ... But please
just realize that these times are almost over and time is very short for
witnessing to the lost. ... We must stop 'putting off' what is clearly our most
important mission in life, and that is spreading the good news and saving grace
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! ... KNow that I love each of you and am
praying for you constantly ... for strength and endurance in these increasingly
difficult times. ... Hang in there and know that Jesus is right at the door!
... Hallelujah!
Until next time,
Red
Note: ... Even though we are getting
hundreds of 'hits' each week, we are NOT receiving any comments. .... So I
would like for some of you to please try and comment. .. We need to know if it
is too difficult, or if there is any other reason why they are not coming in.
... Also, if & when you do make comments, please ask me about anything you
may personally be interested in us talking about. ... Our only purpose is to
share what we know and hopefully help advance the Kingdom in these difficult
times .......Thank you in advance ....
