A well written article about what should be every true Christian's Blessed Hope and our anticipation. The Apostle Peter accurately described today's cynics in 2 Peter 3:3-7. Scoffers are everywhere, rolling their eyes at the thought that these "End Times" are upon us...Again!

News Flash for you: All of the *signs* described in Scripture are here and we have been witnessing them for decades as they all begin to incrementally increase. Daily.

There will always be naysayers and always have been. They claim Christianity, but are far removed from it in reality. After all, what kind of Christian claims to love Christ, yet doesn't want to be with Him? Or even hope to be with Him?

If you think this world is going to last on this course, I've got beach property in Oklahoma on sale.

There's a Black Swan Event coming that will catch this world with it's pants down. You're probably going to get caught in it, and you won't survive.

All this world and those of it only understand these 3 things:

1. Lust of the Flesh 2. Lust of the Eyes 3. Pride of Life

(1 John 2:16)

If you're holding out until you 'live your life' to get right with Christ and repent, might I remind you of the Rich Fool in Luke 12:20.

Time is short and it's late. Only Christ Saves!

The Bible says a military alliance that includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel “in the latter days”

No, it does not.

Anyway, why would such a large alliance be needed to take on tiny Israel? Why would they bother? What does Israel have that these nations want or what power do they have that must be destroyed

I think that the globalists took notice of the end time nonsense, which has been quite successful, and decided they would get in on the act with the approaching doom of climate change. There is no difference.

Matthew 24:3-22 (NLT):

3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?[a]”

4 Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.[b] 10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11 And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations[c] will hear it; and then the end will come.

15 “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration[d] standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!) 16 “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. 17 A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. 18 A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. 19 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. 20 And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.

Regarding the “sacrilegious object that causes desecration” (v15) - what could be more of a desecration that a muslim mosque, a temple to Satan, built where the Temple should be?

The reason that it was obvious that Christ was not returning in the first two fad endtimes events was the complacency had not set in.

First Apostasy and “The Great falling away”, THEN Christ returns. NOT Revival.

I don't necessarily disagree, but you have to admit that the constant drumbeat of teachers proclaiming Jesus' return is near and when it does not happen does make a mockery of their claims. This has been going on for 2,000 years and quite frankly, I am tired of it.

The Bible also teaches no one knows when the rapture will be, so why not simply preach that fact and since no one knows when the return will be, preach that everyone needs to be prepared.

That will increase the integrity of the preachers. Poor Irvin Baxter. Anytime someone clears their throat near the Euphrates River, it may occur any second. Poor guy, he keeps saying it could be this year for the last 20 years. One year he will be right, though.

The Late Great planet earth was just another one of the very many people since Scofield who try to make money from their never-ending future fapture when Jesus was very clear about “this generation will not pass until it see’s”

I tell such people that...”While there have always been those who’ve declared that the signs of the end times are simply things that have always gone on for 2000 years, that there are 2 notable differences. Israel stands as a nation as predicted in prophecy and the 2nd is the explosion of science and knowledge without true wisdom as to what to do with that knowledge(”the people will travel to and fro” depicts a world wide restlessness of spirit of the peoples of the world) as predicted in Daniel.
