If you are a Bible-Believing Christian (as opposed to a
Leftist propagandized diluted Christian), you must recognize the tyranny
experienced on a global scale (more and more also in the USA) smacks
glaringly of Last Days Signs.
End Times Prophecy is hardly an exact science with all kinds
of disagreements on timelines and occurrences. With the only agreement Jesus
the Christ wins and transforms a New Heaven and a New Earth that looks NOTHING
like the despotic transformation envisioned by a Globalist-Dem-Marxist new
social order.
I believe I have discovered an insightful essay by Britt Gillette
observing today’s similarities to some Last Days scenarios.
Even with the uncertainty and too often squabbles of prophetic
timelines and prophetic occurrences, here is some certainty from the Word of
God as excerpted in the Book of Revelation to John the Apostle (Rev. 20: 9-10;
21: 1-8; 22: 1-5 NKJV):
Revelation 20
9 They went
up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the
beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured
them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone where[a] the beast and the false
prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever.
Revelation 21
1Now I saw a
new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed
away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from
heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself
will be with them and be their God. 4 And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more
death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former
things have passed away.”
5 Then He
who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He
said [b]to me, “Write, for these words
are true and faithful.”
6 And He
said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of
the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He
who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I
will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the
cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part
in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death.”
Revelation 22
1And he showed
me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear
as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In
the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the
tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its
fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing
of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more
curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and
His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see
His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There
shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun,
for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and
ever.

Why The Stage Is Set For The End Times
By BRITT GILLETTE
OCTOBER 27, 2021
As a student of bible prophecy for almost 30 years, and
specifically end times bible prophecy, no other time has seemed as close to the
end times as right now. Why do I say this? Because, particularly in the past
year, the geopolitical and economic stage has been set for the fulfillment of
several end times prophecies.
We now have several potential crises on the horizon. And
those potential crises are the same ones the Bible says we'll experience either
in the Tribulation or the days immediately preceding the Tribulation. Below are
just a few:
The Gog of Magog War
The Bible points to a future attack on Israel known as the
Gog of Magog War (Ezekiel 38-39). It says a military alliance that includes
Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel
"in the latter days" (Ezekiel 38:8) when God brings His people home
from among the enemy nations (Ezekiel 39:27).
Today, we see those nations forming an alliance for the first
time - an alliance that has never existed in world history. Russia, Iran, and
Turkey all have an active military presence in Syria, meaning they're right on
Israel's northern border at this moment. Why is this important? Because Ezekiel
specifically says this alliance will attack Israel from the north (Ezekiel
38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). In addition, the ancient territory of Magog covers a
number of modern day nations, one of which is Afghanistan.
Up until recently, it was difficult to imagine U.S. occupied
Afghanistan joining the Gog of Magog invasion. But now? With the Taliban back
in control, it would be odd if they didn't join this invading alliance. The way
nations are aligned today, the Gog of Magog invasion could take place tomorrow.
All the pieces are in place. Even just a few years ago, that wasn't the case.
Global War Prospects
While "rumors of war" have been common since the
end of World War II, the current situation is different. The world is in the
midst of an energy crisis. Europe has seen natural gas prices surge in the past
month. China and India are experiencing rolling blackouts of electrical
service. Not only will this create problems in an already broken global supply
chain, but these are the conditions which often give rise to war. And energy
resource issues could provide the spark that ignites the next world war.
For example, China threatens to invade Taiwan on an almost
daily basis. If China does invade, the United States claims it will defend
Taiwan. If it occurs, such a conflict will devastate the world. Both China and
the U.S. are nuclear powers, and both likely have high-tech space weapons,
cyberwarfare capabilities, and innovative weapons never before seen on a
battlefield. Such a conflict could easily erupt into World War III. Even if it
doesn't, the global economy would collapse and the global supply chain would be
irreparably broken if the two largest economic powers went to war.
The same is true in regard to Israel and Iran. Both nations
have been engaged in a type of "cold war" for years, and with each
passing month, the prospect of all-out war only increases. A conflict between
the two could pull the Middle East and the entire world into a cataclysmic war.
Throw in India's border disputes with China and Pakistan as
well as North Korea's belligerence toward its neighbors and the United States,
and the prospects of global war are probably the highest they've been in the
post-Cold War era. At any moment, a flare up in any one of several hotspots
could cascade into a global war. Yet, contrary to popular belief, the world
will survive World War III.
The death toll will be enormous, but the human race won't be
annihilated (Revelation 6:4). The Bible says a global war will kick off the
Tribulation and precede the global rule of the Antichrist. Right now, the odds
of a devastating global war appear high.
Global Inflation Prospects
Shutdowns, travel regulations, and other COVID restrictions
have wreaked havoc on the global supply chain since early 2020, and it's only
getting worse. Lack of shipping containers, global port congestion, and a lack
of workers to produce, transport, and stock goods have led to shortages in
everything from toilet paper and microprocessors to chicken wings and tractor
tires.
Meanwhile, central bank and government policies creating low
interest rates and instituting rent/mortgage moratoriums, student loan
moratoriums, stimulus checks, and tax credits have only added to demand. Basic
economics says if you lower supply and increase demand, you get higher prices.
We're seeing that right now, especially at the grocery store. Don't expect it
to get better.
The Bible says the world will experience an unprecedented
hyperinflation during the Tribulation. Following the global war outlined in
Revelation 6:4, the world experiences a time when an entire day's wages will
barely buy enough food to survive (Revelation 6:5-6).
Given the inflation and shortages we're already seeing, how
bad will it get if a major war breaks out anywhere in the world, much less an
all-out global war like the one foretold in Revelation 6?
The Rising Mark of the Beast System
Throughout the world, governments are pushing COVID
vaccines. Those who refuse the jab face a long list of penalties, including
loss of employment, healthcare, freedom of movement, and liberty in general.
Those pushing vaccine mandates and vaccine passports seek to coerce people into
compliance. The goal is to ostracize the unvaccinated from society.
If these coercive policies remain in place, they'll create a
mark of the beast system indistinguishable in impact from the true mark of the
beast (Revelation 13:16). In doing so, they'll pave the way for the rise of the
Antichrist and the actual mark of the beast as outlined in the Book of
Revelation.
The Bible says those who refuse the mark of the beast will
be shut out of the global economy. They'll be unable to buy or sell anything
without it (Revelation 13:17).
Today, we see the stage being set for the fulfillment of
this prophecy. In some places, vaccine passports are required to appear
anywhere in public, including grocery stores. Is it really hard to believe
they'll one day be required to engage in any buy/sell transactions?
The Days of Noah and Lot
Jesus said when He returns, the world will be "like it
was in the days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37). Jesus said, "In those days
before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings
right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn't realize what was
going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way
it will be when the Son of Man comes." Matthew 24:38-39 (NLT)
Is this what we see in the world today? I think so. Even
after 19 months of a global pandemic, a global supply chain crisis, and threats
of war, people are still enjoying banquets and parties and weddings. In other
words, much of life remains normal. After a series of events that should have
shaken the world from its slumber, most people continue to go about their daily
lives unaware of the times in which we live.
The times in which we live are clear to anyone who knows the
Bible. We are living in the days just before the Tribulation takes place. Jesus
will soon return to take His church (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians
4:15-18). How can I be so sure? Because Jesus says so. Jesus said when you see
all the signs He and the prophets said to look for, you should look up (Luke
21:28), and we see those signs right now.
The Convergence of Signs
So what are these signs? Jesus and the prophets pointed to
dozens and dozens of signs. This article only cites a few, but each one is
undeniable. Their convergence for the first time in history tells us the return
of the Lord is close at hand. In addition to the events already mentioned,
these signs include:
• Israel Back in the Land (Jeremiah
23:7-8; Ezekiel 39:28; Isaiah 11:12; Psalm 107:3; Ezekiel 20:34; Isaiah
11:11-12)
• The Jewish People in Control of
Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28)
• The Gospel Preached Throughout
the World (Matthew 24:14)
• An Increase in Travel and
Knowledge (Daniel 12:4)
• Arrival of the Exponential Curve
(Matthew 24:3‐8)
• Israel Surrounded by Enemies
(Psalm 83:4; Psalm 83:12; Ezekiel 11:14‐17;
Ezekiel 35:10)
• Israel's Exceedingly Great Army
(Ezekiel 37:10; Zechariah 12:6; Zechariah 12:8)
• The Rise of a United Europe
(Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17)
• The Rise of a Global Government
(Revelation 13:7-17)
• The State of Mankind (2 Timothy
3:1-4)
• Denial of the Signs (2 Peter 3:3‐4)
Stay Awake
Jesus commanded us to watch for these signs (Matthew 24:42).
He scolded the Pharisees and religious leaders when they failed to recognize
the signs of His first coming (Matthew 16:3). Will He do any different for
those who fail to recognize the signs of His second coming? Jesus warned us not
to be caught sleeping when He returns (Mark 13:36).
Now is the time to point out these signs to others and warn
them the end is near. If you've been waiting to share the Gospel with someone,
don't wait any longer. You may not have another opportunity. Jesus is coming.
The signs are all around us.
