Jesus and Paul were explicit in their warnings to the believers. Jesus told His disciples that they would not see these things, but gave us the warnings in scripture. Once Israel became a nation, we would see the events leading up to the Rapture and Tribulation. Wars and rumors of wars all over the globe. Famine, technological advances as never before, rampant homosexuality and fornication, drunkenness, licentiousness, greed, lack of love, disobedient children, and on and on.
Matthew 24:9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
24:10 Then many will be led into sin, and they will betray one another and hate one another. 24:11 And many false prophets will appear and deceive many,
24:12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold.
Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Since Israel has become a nation in 1948, these have grown exponentially in our world. The rising food prices and shortages world wide, gas prices, real estate crashes, technology....you get the picture. So why would people say that Bible prophecy is a farce? They simply do not want to believe they will be reaping the harvest of their own sin.
We see the nations against Israel exactly as stated in Ezekiel 38, Psalm 83, and other books. The Bible says they will be calling for the extermination of Israel. We see Russia will be backing the Persians ( Iran ) and that the Arab nations will be united together against Israel. Never in history has this happened before. And tell me, how could someone call these nations and alliances out thousands of years prior to their taking place? It cannot be possible with men, but with God all things are possible. He gave us these signs so we could accept His mercy and covenant for life, and not death.
We see Israel become a nation, retake Jerusalem, we see that more earthquakes have been recorded in the last 10 years than in all prior history combined. Every day another war, conflict, police action, or act of terror takes places. Each day the news tells us that Iran is threatening nuclear destruction again. North Korea, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, India, South and Central America, there is death and war all over the globe. In America we have prison systems filled to capacity with murderers and rapists, pedophiles and thugs.
Things are going crazy everywhere and little makes sense any more. This was prophesied as well and I will be including those passages as I update this site.
2 Timothy
3:1 But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
:2 For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good, 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.
:5 They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.
3:6 For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.
3:7 Such women are always seeking instruction, yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people – who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith – also oppose the truth.
3:9 But they will not go much further, for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.
And now we have the peace deal that was prophesied that HAS to take place at the beginning of the Tribulation. Though we as Christians will NOT see the full confirmation of this, we ARE seeing the stage set up for it all to be confirmed. Including the man I believe to be the Antichrist, and the nations as assembled in Biblical prophecy.
