With a global agenda unfolding right before our eyes, how can one be a believer in God's word and think the world is going to be saved from itself?
Something this massive and far reaching, you'd think our Creator would have told us or shown us.
But rather He has told us what will come and it's judgement and wrath, not revival.
So I ask you Christian, how can you put so much hope in man to save you and revive your country and the world for that matter, and believe God is going to save this evil and wicked world?
Many believe this is the end or at least the beginning of the end. Yet so many have their faith intertwined with their politics and their leader(s).
My Bible tells me to separate, sanctify, watch, and repent, among other things. It doesn't tell me to be a disciple for man and show everyone how our country and values are coming back and in greater reverence than the times of old.
As much as our flesh wants to hold onto this world. We must as believers be ready to let go of our flesh.
So it's one or the other. Either God almighty forgot to mention this great revival so many are caught up in at the moment. Or this is the final test for us all. Do we heed His warning and separate from the deception or delusion as it's mentioned? Or do we hold onto our flesh and deny what our eyes, spirit and His Word is telling us?
Because this isn't the first time these exact same signs have been shown in history? WW I and WW II are a pretty good example of this. They tick off every box for the end times just about.
WWI in particular was about as close to the actual end times as we've ever been. Pestilence (spanish flu)-check, War and rumors of war-obvious check, Poverty and destitution (great depression)-check, societal breakdowns (first wave feminism and civil rights movements)-check. Etc. etc. By the logic you're using this should have been the end times, and the third and fourth great awakening's should have never happened.
There have been four "great awakenings" in the history of the United States, and every time, God brings our nation back to him and cements our status as a special nation for his gentile children adopted by the blood of Jesus. God never allows us to go to far away from him. There's historical precedent for this, and this time is no different from God's view.
Besides, a lot of people overlook several of the key points about the end times that you can't really fake. For one, the temple has to be rebuilt so that the abomination of desolation can take place. And yes it has to be a physical place, because the antichrist is going to make a mockery of ancient Israel's religious ceremonies in the temple by replacing God with himself.
Second of all Wormwood has to hit the eart and cause a third of all waterways to "turn bitter" or dry up as most modern interpretations put it. Kind of had to fake a meteor hitting the earth and drying up a third of all water on the planet, Which hasn't happened yet, ergo, there's still the possibility that we're not in the "end" end times (since technically it's been the end times since Jesus died).
And finally, and this is the one I'm baffled most on HERE of all places don't recognize. The war of Gog and Magog requires Israel to exist. ACTUAL ISRAEL, as in actual real Jews, brought back to their ancestral lands organically by the Lord. Not a bunch of fake Khazarian JINOs.
Without the existence of a Biblical Israel, pretty much every other "sign" falls apart since none of the end time's occurrences can happen. Gog and Magog, the raising of the Witnesses, abomination of desolation, etc. etc.
There's also the fact that people often forget how the Bible describes the Tribulations. The first 3.5 years are supposed to basically be heaven on earth. This is how the antichrist gains the trust and faith of the lost on earth. Whether you believe in a pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation rapture, this is one fact that most agree on. The first half is basically heaven on earth, but it's all only surface level. So have the last 3.5 years been haven on earth? Not hardly. Even under Trump (which was 4 years total mind you), it wasn't heaven on earth. People still suffered all over the world in various ways.
So combine all of this, and the end isn't as close as it seems.
Sounds like someone needs to read their Bible again, since you've missed so many obvious requirements that have not, and cannot be met yet for the end times to truly occur.
You're conflating too many things here that don't match up. The end times will come when God wants it to happen. And literally no one else (not even Jesus) knows when that is. In the meantime, it's more tha possible (extremely likely and pretty much certain actually), that God will have at least a few more "mass revival" events to bring his lost sheep and children back to him in massive numbers before the end finally does come.
well said. I have been asking this question: Why do people read the bible and either see the end as far in the future or unfolding before our eyes? On one hand it seems many signs are too massive and strange to happen any time soon. On another hand the Fourth Beast is clearly establishing its world dominance.
I think this is because most people are overlooking the wilderness period that is coming. Look at Hosea 2: The woman goes into the wilderness and is comforted by God for a time (3.5 years?) and during this time there is a purification that must occur. This is a reflection of the wilderness time of the Exodus.
That Fourth Beast is trampling people already. I'd say the Pale horse is already riding. Jesus talks about the tribulation time as a time like never before or ever will be again. Yet he also likens it to the "days of Noah" when people are living oblivious about the coming judgement.
Much of the world scale events described in Rev happen in a delusional clown world that is fully depending on the Beast - except for those who reject the Beast and flee into the wilderness.
We are in a time like never before. Think Tower of Babel. The language barrier is gone. All the past signs of the end times were valid (in the prophetic timeline of thousand year days) but the moment we are entering into is unlike any before.
Good summation of scripture and world events.
I think there was a flood once. That was pretty serious.
