WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT???
Do you keep hearing those of faith talking about “end times” and “last days?” Me too. But I understand what they mean.
No, the world isn’t going to end, not according to God. It is going to go through some tougher times though, maybe even with nuclear war wiping out a large percentage of the world’s population. Prior to that though, there will be a peace plan signed, maybe it will even state it’s for “7″ years, but regardless, at halfway point, 3 1/2 years, one party will break it and take over.
Take over? Take over what? The world. Yeah, scary eh?
Here’s what the Bible says, very basically, about how to know when this is coming.
In the book of Luke, chapter 21 and in verse 32 Jesus said, “So likewise you, when you see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” What things?
It’s in the Bible, and the generation of people that see ALL these things is the generation of the “rapture” when Christ takes the believers out of the world and to heaven with Him, and literally all hell breaks lose on earth, called the “tribulation” and then the battle of Armagedon.
Here are the 7 things that the generation that sees all 7 will be the one where the believers are taken away:
See the chosen people (the Jews) become a nation. The State of Israel was recognized in 1948.
See the City of Jerusalem go under the control of the State of Israel. This happened in 1967.
See the revival of the 7th world empire. This happened in 1948 also. It’s been renamed the European Union.
See the European Union take control of the finances globally. (Revelation 13:16-) The Wall Street Journal JUST published the plan of how the EU is planning to do this!!! (Article titled: EU to pick global oversight of top financial firms.)
See a power named Russia be in existence.
See a power named China be in existence.
See a power named Iran be in existence, and declare it’s hatred for Israel. (Psalm 83:4) Anyone with a tv and who catches the news knows of Ahmadinajad’s declaration to “wipe the nation of Israel off the face of the earth.” (He included USA too.)
So there you have it, the 7 signs required to be experienced in one generation, all together NOW.
There are many, many other signs that God has given us in His Word, pointing to the beginning of the 7 years of tribulation on earth before Christ’s battling the forces of evil in Armaggedon, which occurs after the 7 years while the believers are not in the world. ( The majority of us, that is. There will be Jewish evangelists protected by God’s angels, left here to witness to those of you who failed to believe, having never heard this word. But you personally? You’ve heard so you need to decide if you will accept Christ’s love or not, now.)
Some of the signs that point to the after time of the rapture, 3 1/2 years of peace and the then 3 1/2 years of terror are:
Increase in wars, nations, earthquakes in many new places, famines, rise of false prophets who show signs and wonders to sway those on earth that they are God’s and you haven’t missed Christ’s rapture. The sun will be dark, the moon of course can’t give light either. But there are many concrete signs too, such as the war path the Chinese are building, with Russia, so they may march in battle across Asia. You can read about that in secular papers. The coming war where the Chinese and Russians move down to battle Israel with 200 million soldiers, well, that’s in the Bible. The road they are building is not for public transportation, but for their army only. Why would they need that, if not war?
But I don’t wish to overwhelm you. I really just want you to focus on the 7 signs for the generation that will experience Christ’s taking us up and out of the impending trials on earth. Now I don’t personally know if just the EU’s planning to take over the finances is the prophecy, or if they actually have to begin to do it, but it’s close enough. That really seals the deal. Nothing else is required at all for Christ’s return and rapturing out of the believers.
If you aren’t a believer yet, you might think seriously about it. God loves you. That’s what it’s all about, God’s love. Accept His love, His Son’s payment at Calvary on the cross for your sin (my sin too, I did this…accept Christ, God’s love.) You can do it secretly if you wish, just you and God. He’ll hear you. Why not ask Him?
Peace.
