Converging Signs and Birth Pangs: How Much Closer Are We Now?

We hear so much about "converging signs" today.  The Bible speaks about end-time signs that will increase like birth pangs near the end. I think we have passed the birth pang process, frankly. 

As a popular TV preacher said, "We're no longer in Kansas, nor the Land of Oz." Like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", we're looking around and seeing that everything is different. Everything we once took for granted and considered normal has been fundamentally transformed and usually not for the better.

But God is allowing it all, even if He isn't orchestrating chaos, as He is not a God of chaos.

Have you noted recent major stories and how they confirm the words of those of us saying that things aren't falling apart, they are falling in place. Stories like . . .

• Russia and Iran co-operating and conspiring (Ezekiel 38-39).
• Gog is stirring. Russia has been relatively quiet for decades, but now Vladimir Putin is on the move.
• With ISIS marching towards Damascus, Syria is begging Israel to fulfill Isaiah 17.

We are indeed in Oz, if you are referring to the TV series set in a prison.

I read in an article some time ago that Pope Benedict was told to step down and let Pope Francis be appointed Pope while praying to God. Thats when it hit me - Satan thinks he’s orchestrating this but God is lining up the chess pieces. God is in control. He is teaching Man a great lesson - what evil is and why it must be destroyed if men are to live in harmony.

Christians who predict that the end of the world is imminent have been 100% wrong for the past 2,000 years.

I resent that.

Wellll ... you said it ... I only read it .... /8^)

2 Peter 3:3-9

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”....

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Drudge had this story up a few hours ago.

Makes you really think.

Well the Shemitah came and went and turned out to be a nothingburger. Glad that nonsense is over.

Instead of listening to flawed men, read the scriptures which describe the time of the end. You will probably abandon that argument.

The purpose of prophecy is not the when and details. The purpose of prophecy is TO REPENT NOW.

The UN may recognize a Palestinian state soon. They are already flying its 'flag'.

One World Religion on its way (Francis is helping this along.)

2 Cor. 11:3-4:

"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."

I have had this mulling over in my head. It appears that Donald Trump phenomena, the Islamic refugees flooding into Europe, and severe economic times just ahead of us, are the most prophetic significant events to develop recently.

History repeats itself, Europe has quite the history of dealing with real or perceived threats. With Trump setting the strong leader precedent from across the pond, we can expect a strong leader to arise in Europe to follow Trump’s precedent. Like Trump, he will deal with their demographic problem, their Islamic invasion. Europe’s “solutions” tend to be drastic, in the case of Hitler, even genocidal.

Throw severe economic times into the mix, and we have another Hitler type in our future. Daniel’s prophesied “little horn,” who morphs into the antichrist.

And that makes us wrong by default now?

I was watching the Pope coverage on CNN and Erin Burnett on OutFront said she is proud to be a Catholic and will be baptizing her daughter(s) into the Catholic faith since this Pope has “liberalized” the Church. She actually said that...

We scoffers have been right for the past two millennia. The Bible says that no one knows the day that the Lord will come.
