Last week, I talked about many of the recent prophesied events that have already taken place, or are now in the process .... So what's left to come? .. What prophesies are 'just around the corner' prior to the fast-approaching Day of the Lord? ... The following is a list of these soon-to-be-fulfilled events. .. It certainly isn't everything, and the 'order of events' may be slightly different, but it will give you a quick glimpse of many of the main events. ... Here goes ....
*Psalm 83 Wars - There will be more battles to come between Israel and her Muslim neighbors which will include Palestinian refugees, Jordanians, Saudi Arabians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, northern Iraqis, etc. ... These series of wars will also include the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah & more ...
*The Destruction of Damascus - Isaiah 17:1 tells us that Damascus will be utterly destroyed before the Lord's return. .. Even though the country of Syria is in complete chaos, & parts of Damascus has already been destroyed, the fulfillment of 'utter destruction' is still to come. ...
*The Continuing Rise of Anti-Semitism Across the Globe & Israel's Isolation - Zechariah 12:2-3 tells us of these things ... Israel will become the 'pariah' of the world's nations, but the result will be the destruction of the nations because of this. .. Also, more & more Jews will continue to 'come home' because of the worldwide hatred toward them. .. Again, prophecy fulfilled ....
*The Rebuilding of The Third Temple in Jerusalem - As we already know, the Second Temple was destroyed by Titus & his Roman Legions in AD 70. .. We also know that there has to be another Temple because in Daniel 9:27, it tells us of the coming Anti-Chrtist & his entering it in the middle of the final 7-year Tribulation period .. the 'abomination that causes desolation' teaching ...
*The Battle of Gog/Magog - This teaching is found in Ezekiel 38 & 39 and tells us of a coming coalition of nations that will come against Israel just before our Lord's return. .. This coalition is led by none other than Russia (Magog) which will be allied with Iran (Persia) & several other nations. .. Interestingly, Russia & Iran, for the first time in history, are now friends & allies. .. Coincidence? .. I think not! ...
*The Rapture of the Church - Some believe the Church .. the true believers in Jesus Christ .. will be taken home just before the 7-year Tribulation begins (Pre-Tribulation teaching). .. This, of course, has become a more controversial teaching as of late, but after much research & prayer, I have come to believe this Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church to be true. .. Because of length, I plan to cover this subject next week in detail. .. I believe that after you review these facts, you may also become a believer in this event. .. So until next week .......
*The Fast-Approaching One-World Government - We are seeing signs of this reality daily! .. Even our own President supports this 'global order' of things wholeheartedly! .. You won't see too much about this fast-evolving event in America's presses, but you will in European & Israeli news outlets. .. Basically, most of America is oblivious to this coming reality. .. Soon, will will see a charismatic figure rise up out of the 'Revived Roman Empire,' which is mostly modern-day Europe, that will begin to gain worldwide attention. .. He will appear to have many of the answers to all the troubles that face the world. .. Long story short, he will ultimately evolve into the Anti-Christ. ... See Daniel 8:23-25 & Revelation 13 for starters concerning this fact. ...
*The Fast-Approaching One-World Religion - One has to be blind not to see this taking place right before our eyes! .. World religious figures, including the Pope & many of America's top leaders, are working hard to make this one-world religious entity a reality. .. Revelation 17 talks about 'the great whore' that will 'ride the beast' .. simply, the church becomes partners with the world government & its leader. ...
*The Salvation of The Nation Israel - Revelation 7 tells us of the coming of 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, that will be witnesses to the world concerning Jesus Christ & His soon return. .. This will take place during the 7-year Tribulation period, of which Israel is at peace in the first half, but will be persecuted during the second half. ..
*Continuing Series of Judgements, both Natural & Super-Natural - These are the 'Birth Pains" that Jesus Himself spoke of in Matthew 24:8 .. It is a confirmed fact that natural disasters in the form of earthquakes, volcanoes, weather events, and so on are increasing in both numbers & intensity by the day. .. Even secular scientists do not deny this fact. .. Also, we are seeing a rise in Satanism & other spiritually deceptive practices. .. One examples is this. .. In just three days, June 6th, Satanists are holding an event on 6/6/16 to celebrate the rapidly rising interest & awareness of their religion. .. But once again, we should not be surprised .. it is prophesied. ... Oh, and one more ... Luke 21:25 says there will be 'signs in the sun, moon & stars' ... Don't forget about Planet X! ...
That's enough for now. .. These are just some of the coming events that are soon to be a reality in our world. ... And why do I think that this is all about to take place? .. Once again, Jesus Himself tells us how we will know. .. Matthew 24:32-34 says this ... "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33) Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34) I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until these things have happened." .. We are NOT to set exact dates, but Jesus did tell us that we would 'know the season' of His return. .. He also tells us that the generation that experiences all these prophesies 'will not pass away' before He comes back for us. ... This is the season, people! .. One has to be blind not to see it! ...
And after all this, guess what happens! ..........
*The Return of Jesus Christ ...
*The Battle of Armageddon ...
*The Destruction of the World's Nations (sorry nationalists) ...
*The Judgement of the Sheep & Goats ...
*The Establishment of the Millennial Kingdom ...
*The Binding of Satan for 1,000 years ...
*The Loosing of Satan & Yet Another Worldwide Rebellion ...
*The Destruction of the World ...
*The Creation of a New Heaven & The New Earth ...
It's all in 'The Book' folks ... All one has to do is look to God's Word for all this information. .. And what it can do for you is give you peace to know that GOD IS IN CONTROL & that all this craziness that is going on all around us is just part of His plan! .. Do I understand it all .. and why? .. Absolutely not, but I believe it, simply because HE SAID SO! ... Bottom line? .. It gives me peace to know that this is the way it will be.... And I also know this .. the coming eternity that our Great God has planned for us is way beyond our comprehension .. but I know we will be joyous, healthy, & loving every moment of it ... again, for eternity!... Hallelujah! ...
OK .. I'm outta here for another week .. and again, next week, Lord willing, I will bring you a teaching on the pre-Tribulation rapture that I think will convince you that it is, in fact, a reality. ... so ....
Until next time,
