Maybe.

And maybe not.

Ask me again in fifty years.

My thoughts are we should worry more about our closeness to our Lord and our spiritual hygiene so as to not be deceived as Christ warns us.

But most important we should be witnessing to the world to spread salvation.

Talk of prophecy is best done in the company of mature Christians and with a very cautious approach, not seeking to find dates or use such study to avoid engaging in the world.

Nope, it will be a Technocracy. The new Global Religion.

It could be.

Being beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast certainly fits with typical muslim behavior.

Islam is just one of Satan's tools. Another very obvious one is Leftism (take a look at the faces of the Democrat Party). Secularism, tribalism, idol worship, and racism (particularly reverse racism) are others.

The list is almost endless.

It’s Sharia law, not sheria law.

Satan’s False Prophet will likely look like “christianity” - small “c” on purpose - someone like pope-a-dope Francis with worldwide influence and aberrant liberal “theology”

There will also be a significant number of liberal churches who will fall right in line - I oughta know - I worked with these people - the LAST thing some of them wanted to hear was what the Bible had to say

No it isn’t.

Look up who said the phrase “new world order” most recently.

John MacArthur gave a sermon where he states that the Antichrist in the Bible is the Mahdi of the Quran, a spiritual and temporal leader who will rule before the end of the world and restore religion and justice.

So there well could be that clash at The End.

~~~ IN THE BLEACHERS ~~~

We can see Psalms 2 and 110 in accelerated demonstration. Soviet Communism came from nothing to ruling over 1/3 of the earth’s population in one generation — then collapsed, imploded in on itself. The Great King added that that fairly significant point to the scoreboard, and the game resumed. Players in the game, such as Bulgarian scholar and leader Bojidar Marinov, were ready for their opportunity, and took advantage of it. His flavor of Christians (Reformed, post-millennial) became known as the people who had credible answers and hope for real-world issues.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched.

In China, as the flaws in the Communist gospel became obvious, faithful Christians multiplied. House churches thrived and multiplied under persecution, and a few tens of thousands became more than a hundred million in a single generation. One small American church (Reformed, post-millennial) launched a teaching ministry that equipped and encouraged Chinese leaders who were responsible for 20 million people.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched.

In America, the legal culture, taking its cues from the fundamentalist disregard for the future, cut off America’s future by forcing human sacrifice on on all 50 states. The catalytic case happened in the backyard of Dallas Theological Seminary, and they completely missed the significance of the event.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched.

In America, soon thereafter, a new reformation began, quietly, under the radar, as millions of parents applied God’s Word afresh to a neglected sphere. People suddenly realized that attendance at the American state churches was NOT mandatory, and not even particularly helpful. And maybe it was a sin to render unto Caesar that which is God’s, the children entrusted to their care.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched.

In Iran, thousands upon thousands of Muslims saw what an Islamic republic looked like, and decided that they liked the Great King’s game much better.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched — when they weren’t screaming for war with Iran, while giving a free pass to the one power in the area that has a nuclear arsenal.

In Africa, more than a million Muslims a year walked away from Islam and became Christians.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sat and watched. Some desperately pinned their perverted hopes upon a yearned-for upsurge in Islam, since the Soviet Union had so disappointed them.

Today, wise Christians in America deprive the state church and the state religion of the resource it most desperately needs, the hearts, minds, bodies, and souls of their children. They work to strengthen local and personal alternatives to federal programs, and imagine a day when the power centers of America’s state religion (smarmy militant humanism) lose all power.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sit and watch.

Wise Christians in America study the languages of Muslim nations, reach out to Muslim neighbors, and pray for God to raise up people movements in those regions. After all, the Great King is still in the game, and Islam is in His sights, perhaps before, perhaps after, He takes out America’s state cult. Either way, wise Christians want to be in on what God is up to.

Meanwhile, in the bleachers, the soothsayers sit and watch. And die out, never achieving anything, because they never get into the game. Or maybe they’re just too busy playing with their crossword puzzles while sitting in the bleachers to even notice the game going on right under their noses.

(I lost a five-year chunk of my life to apocalyptic hysteria, so my impatience with “prophecy teaching” might show!)
