With the ongoing, exponential advancements in technology and media today, the language/ culture/ geography barriers that are restraining the global unification necessary for Lucifer’s godless, global state are eroding right before our very eyes. Global unification and a New World Order is not just a delusional “pipe dream” anymore - it is fast becoming a REALITY. We are at the very doorstep of Satan’s global, fascist state ruled by his lawless minion, the Anti-Christ (Dan. 2:41-43; 7:8, 19-21, 25; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13).
It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences.
It is a fact of history that as societies, cultures and nations become more base (degenerate) and hardened against the living God, they become increasingly vulnerable to godless and demonic (evil) influences. (Luke 4:5-6; Eph. 2:1-2; 6:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Rev. 16:13-16). This trend is a driving force that is setting the stage even now for the world’s final showdown against Almighty God, His sovereign authority and ETERNAL reign on earth and in heaven. This final showdown is called the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2; Dan. 2:43-44; Joel 3:2; Zech. 14:2; Rev. 16:13-16). Once the Rapture of the Church takes place, Almighty God’s restraint will be removed (2 Thess. 2:3, 6-8). The dam - as it were - will be removed and the godless, base practices and the unbridled passions of man will be unleashed to flood the world with godlessness and lawlessness. As these awesomely turbulent times of global calamities come to pass, the world will look for a scapegoat. Feelings of anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel will intensify as never before (Matt. 24:12; Rev. 12:17). .
As the Anti-Christ rises to power, he will seek to exalt himself over all and will accomplish his despotic goal (2 Thess. 2:2-4). He will use the massive devastation, the fallout from global wars and natural disasters inflicted on this earth by Almighty God to seize unlimited power and authority over all the earth (Rev. 13). The Beast (Anti-Christ) will seek to change the times and the seasons (Dan 7:25). He will seek to rewrite Almighty God’s ETERNAL spiritual and natural laws of creation, and enact his own secular, godless agenda upon the masses of humanity. He will lead a global assault on Almighty God, decimate all ideologies tending toward truth, and eradicate the followers of Christ/ Messiah (God’s lovers of reality and truth) - Rev. 13:7; 17:12-17; Rom. 8:36.
This has always been Lucifer's agenda since the Garden of Eden. His desire has been to go "back to Babel" and insert his demonic minion and to rule over the physical and spiritual world.
The Anti-Christ will dissolve all nations and all national identity (cultural and social) and impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause ALL to worship both himself and his “father,” a.k.a. “Lucifer, the son of the morning” (Isa. 14:12); “that old serpent” (Rev. 12:9; Gen. 3:1-4); “a great red dragon” (Rev. 12:3-4); and “the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). In this, his mad attempt, Anti-Christ will ULTIMATELY SUCCEED! (2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 16-18). This has always been Lucifer's agenda since the Garden of Eden. His desire has been to go "back to Babel" and insert his demonic minion and to rule over the physical and spiritual world (Isa. 14:12-15). . Anti-Christ will impose on the world his mark, his idol-image and his will. In so doing he will cause all to worship both himself and his 'father,' a.k.a. Lucifer....
This vile act will indeed constitute a great insanity. The whole world will reject their Creator to follow and worship this lawless one (Satan’s Anti-Christ) with great passion and zeal (Rev. 13:3, 8; 17:16, 17). They will do so with the veritable understanding that they are fully rejecting Almighty God and His saving grace for their lost souls (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 14:9-11). These doomed "Haters of Reality" will be quite willing to follow their delusion through to the end. They will be thus damned for all ETERNITY in Almighty God’s prison and “junk yard” called the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14-15). This fate would they choose rather than to repent and honor their Creator and Savior (2 Thess. 2:10-12; Rev. 9:20-21). This “Abomination of abominations”, which the world of that day will choose to worship, only brings these Haters of Reality to an absolute and ETERNAL desolation (Dan. 9:27; Matt 24:15, Rev. 14:9-11). ,
In the end - for a human being marred by Adam's fall - it is absolutely hopeless without Almighty God our Creator's saving solution.
6000 years of human history has overwhelmingly demonstrated that when Almighty God and His moral absolutes are left out of the mankind's "godless" equation: death, destruction, tyranny, violence, vice, greed, lawlessness, licentiousness, oppression etc. will reign supreme and knowingly or unknowingly they will be under the tyrannical domain of Lucifer and his fallen angels (Luke 4:6-7, Rom. 1:18-32, 5:12-21, Gal. 5:19-21, Eph. 2:1-2). In the end - for a human being marred by Adam's fall - it is absolutely hopeless without Almighty God our Creator's saving solution which is ONLY found in His Son Jesus Christ. He ALONE is the sole propitiation for ALL humanity (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 5:12-21, 1 John 2:2).
My friend, if you know not the Savior, may you pray to see the ETERNAL picture and understand your desperate need for redemption and deliverance from your transgressions against your Creator. As these days intensify and enter into the horrific seven year tribulation period which is at hand (Rom. 2:4, Rev. 6-19).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
12:7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12:12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
12:13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
12:14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
As I was driving this morning I thought how easily the American masses are persuaded by the pop culture and it occurred to me that there is pretty much no moral foundation left in people's lives so they are easily influenced by pop culture, by pop stars who themselves are often a chaotic mess.
I notice too that the speed of this decline is quickening in pace and at times my spirit witnesses to me that I may not need to consider my long-term future because I may not be here.
Gee, looks like the American media are trying to coronate Obama as the one for the job of anti-christ... they sure bow at his feet, they worship him as a Modern Man of The World.
Lovers of Reality and Truth... count me as one of those...
Once the Rapture of the Church takes place, Almighty God’s restraint will be removed
He will lead a global assault on Almighty God, decimate all ideologies tending toward truth, and eradicate the followers of Christ/.
Nothing wrong with preparing one's soul for the Day of Judgment, but claiming to know when is arrogant and foolish.
But Christ goes on to say be on the look out...
Mark 13
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Too many of those who reject end times ministry focus on the “no man knows” and ignore the “watch”!
We have been given the signs and prophesies so we can recognize the end when it is coming. Sure looks like it is beginning to me!
Again, nothing wrong with preparing one’s soul for the Day of Judgment.
ping for later reading!
After the slaughter of Christians & these 144,000 witnesses, there will be two witnesses raised up who are supernaturally protected from evil or harm, and then God will allow them to be killed, they will lay in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 days while the world watches & gloats, and then then will miraculously be raised from the dead & raptured. We are now in the 2nd half of the Great Trib, and the world is now rushing dramatically to the final showdown, the battle of Armegeddon. Christ will returned, plant his feet on the Mount of Olives and the final battle with Satan will take place.
Read again the book of Revelations & Daniel & Ezekiel 38-39. The end times are horrifying but also give us an absolute hope for eternity forever with Christ!
those on the fence will not be raptured and they will follow then, seeing their brethren spared the tribulation...
they will be left behind to cleanse themselves and fight evil and martyr themselves for God’s return.
t
We cant know the day or the hour OF THE RAPTURE, but its clear that we can know when it is near, even at the doors. The second coming at the end of the tribulation period CAN BE KNOWN, just count the days/years from the time the antichrist signs the peace treaty with Israel.
The spiritually mature regenerated believer-disciple-priest is not ignorant of Satan's devices. He/she ought to know when the hour is upon us, through watching, praying, and listening to the voice of the Holy Ghost which is The God's Immutable, Inspired, Infallible, Verbal, Plenary, Available-in-every-age, Preserved, and Present Word.
The God is omniscient but mute??? I suspect not, and have seen the scenario described by this article ripening in a way never before observed, whatever the preterists say.
As a commissioned immersionist disciple, pledged to teach and keep watchfully secure and complete (in the Gk 'tayrehoh') whatsoever He has commanded.
Keep in mind the Law of Double Reference
Come and see! (John 1:38-39, Luke 21:28-31)
Ping!

Read Isiah 17:1 where it talks about Damascus being utterly destroyed in one night, a nuke? We know that the street called straight still exists in Damascus, it is one of the oldest surviving cities in the middle east, God says it will be utterly destroyed, it has to happen before the 7 years begins.
Same with Ezekiel 29:9-29:21. Egypt will be desolate for 40 years? That is not prophecy during or after Armageddon right?
I have come to the conclusion after 30 years of Biblical research that both Damascus and Egypt's destruction seems like it will happen before the tribulation. These prophecies are not figures of speech.
