1. 2/3 the population believes that "psychic powers" exist; 2. half the population believes in demons and ghosts; 3. 40% of people believe that "magnetic energy" in bracelets promotes good health; 4. 75% of pre-6-year olds believe in Santa Clause; 5. 90% of Christians believe that their faith guarantees they will go to heaven.
The amusing thing is that reality always trumps belief.
And the reality of Israel being a nation again, using Hebrew as Scriptures predicted amidst a host of other specifics about the end times in the same era . . .
THOSE REALITIES ARE IMPRESSIVE . . .
to those with ears to hear and eyes to see.
AND, the person who has had an EXPERIENCE with THE LIVING GOD is never at the mercy of someone who merely has an argument.
The amusing thing is that reality always trumps belief.

Yes, I just LOVE the realities affirming this era as the last days . . .
1. Israel a nation again in a day
2. Israel beset about by Russia, China (going into Lebanon), Persia, Egypt,
3. The whole world plagued by Jerusalem as with a millstone about it's neck
4. The technological means for the Mark of The Beast as never before in history the last 2,000 years.
5. The technological means for the whole world to see the 2 witnesses' bodies lying in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 days as never before in history the last 2,000 years.
6. Manmade and other signs in the heavens of multiple types and dramatic degrees--unreported at all in the last 2,000 years.
7. Record numbers of muslims turning to Christ as never before in the last many centuries.
8. Shell Oil discovering the Mt of Olives is increasingly cocked to split as the Bible declares when Christ's foot touches . . . as never reported before in the last 2,000 years.
9. Knowledge expanding and spreading far and wide as never before in the last 2,000 years.
10. Travel to and fro speedily upon the earth as never before in the last 2,000 years.
11. A truly global government to encompass every people group and geographic area on the whole planet is looming as never before in recorded history.
12. The global government is setting the stage to conspire toward the total destruction of Israel as predicted . . . and to a massive degree involving the whole world as never before in the last 2,000 years.
13. The global government is setting the stage as predicted to eradicate all other religions but the worship of its leader as predicted and as never seen before in the last 2,000 years.
14. Moscow is allied with the Arab world to eradicate Israel as never before in the last 2,000 years.
15. Israel has discovered vast reserves of oil and gas on the brink of being brought into production as Biblically predicted and as never before in the last 2,000 years.
16. The Biblically predicted population reduction is now horribly and methodically prepared and planned on a massive scale by various means as never before in the last 2,000 years.
17. At least One King of the East--China--has the means to field the military power--certainly via nukes--and somewhat conceivably by manpower--to impact the Middle East as never before in the last 2,000 years.
18. The United States has begun to loosen it's LIFE GRIP on Israel as never before since Israel's creation in 1948 but in step with Biblical predictions that God alone will be Israel's final protector and defender.
19. The stage is set for Israel as well as the planet to accept a deceptive man of peace who will wage war with peace as Israel's awaited Messiah--but as the Bible makes clear--the false Anti-Christ . . . all staged and ready as never before in the last 2,000 years.
20. A host of natural disasters appear to be primed, cocked, loaded, looming and clustered for an evidently not-to-distant triggering as never before in our awareness and certainly not in the last 2,000 years--including curioius things in the sun, itself.

Yes, such REALITIES can be very affirming of Scriptural prophecies about the last days in our era.
Of course, I don't expect most of the Mooselimbs or other blind and stubborn folk to be much moved by such facts and realities.
