Well I posted the first two so I might as well post the third one.
I hope people have a chance to watch the video. As I have said before, I don't agree with everything Dr. Hagee has said. But I do agree with the general outline he gives here.
So, FWIW.
A clickable link in the thread body:

Video length: Just over 37 minutes.
I just watched it and I don’t recall that it offers any products in the middle of the sermon like the first two.
As always, watch at your own risk (hehe).
God’s blessings upon all awaiting the Lord’s return.
I’m just pinging a few since I think several people will see this in the Religion section anyways.
Has there ever been a time in history when signs of the “end times” were not in play? Jesus mentioned the signs as things going on as usual. The signs he singled out were the stars falling, etc.
I don’t think he meant that the end time was a period of time longer than the period of time it was supposed to be the end of.
Very clever. I like it.
That said, there are some things about our times that provides good reasons why now might be the real "End Times."
One, for the first time in the history of the world, we have the capacity to complete destroy human life on the planet (and not just with nuclear bombs, but also with lab designed bugs). And given the nature of human beings, some nuts--scientists, military generals, or both--are going to try.
Two, we are on the verge of being able to transform humans into an entirely new species via genetic manipulation. Toss robotics/cybernetics into the mix and we get an even more complicated array of species.
None of this is mentioned in the Bible except for perhaps the "times of Noah" comment (when it is thought by some Biblical scholars that the Fallen Ones were creating hybrid humans and animals).
” As I have said before, I don’t agree with everything Dr. Hagee has said. “
Will you do us the favor of writing a book explaining what you do believe? Please ping us when it’s out!!! That would be so Kool. Or maybe a YouTube video talk.
“...thought by some Biblical scholars that the Fallen Ones were creating hybrid humans and animals...”
Reminds me of one of those lost books referred to in the Bible. One was supposed to have been discovered, in Italy, in the 1600s, and scholars think it is fake. However, it mentions what seems to be DNA manipulation, a concept that certainly was not extant in the 1600s.
“Very clever. I like it.”
From The Parousia, J Stuart Russell, 1878
Even the false prophet Balaam said a lot of things that were true.
captmar-vell summed it up nicely on another thread. Worthy of a repost.
[We’re told that Satan gives them their seat, power and great authority, they are servants of corruption:
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19]
I’ve considered both, actually.
Some of this is on my FR home page though it’s pretty short.
I’ll just kind of throw this out there. I know not everyone agrees with me and that’s OK.
There is a final 7 years to run. It will be the 70th week shown in the prophet Daniels 70 x 7 heptad (sp). Before that 70th week starts, I believe the Church escapes that (Luke 21:34-36). This is a hot topic that many disagree with. Yes, it is escapism. Well, time is gonna tell the story.
For shorthand, some of us call that the tribulation. It is NOT specifically called that in the Bible anywhere. It’s just a shorthand. Like “Holy Trinity” which you won’t find anywhere in their either (But Matthew 28:19 shows it).
During that 7 years you have the Antichrist. And maybe shortly after his debut, the false prophet (he arises following the Antichrist - how long afterwards, dunno).
The Antichrist shows who he is by “confirming” (somehow) the 7-year false peace deal that divides Israel. Yes, it will bring a false peace. Except for the two witnesses (Revelation 11) who wreak havoc on the world. They preach and the unbelieving world hates them. Somehow, the Antichrist kills them at the end of their 3-1/2 year ministry.
Their bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem. For 3-1/2 days (not a typo) the world celebrates their deaths. The whole world looks upon their dead bodies with great joy. This was not possible before TV and the internet. The world sends gifts to one another (Amazon next day! or same day).
God raises them from the dead. They rapture (ascend) into heaven while the world watches in fear.
Now the last 3-1/2 years are about to run. For me, this is when Jesus marks it as saying then shall be great tribulation. The mark of the beast is deployed. The false prophet forces people to take the mark of the beast or refuse it. Those who refuse it are killed and live forever. Those who take the mark of the beast live, may buy and sell and burn in the lake of fire forever (Revelation 13 and 14).
Even more severe judgments from God come during that last 3-1/2 years. But the big one is yet to come.
The world’s armies gather at Megiddo. They intend to destroy Israel and do tremendous damage. The Second Coming happens - Armageddon’s last battle. Jesus defeats them very quickly. The birds eat their body parts.
Sometime before all of this I expect a world war; at a minimum a regional war. Iran, Russia, Turkey, Libya and more try to destroy Israel. This is Ezekiel 38. Left Behind had this happening near the start of the tribulation. I think it can start no later than that and I think even that may be too late. With Iran’s nuclear work, it is a genuine threat to the state of Israel. How much has Iran accomplished? Don’t know. Lot of activity over there the last few weeks.
And of course the most important part: Jesus is Lord. Jesus is the Messiah. There is no other Messiah. His blood atones for our sins. Our Salvation is a gift from God, regardless of works. Jesus was born of a virgin (Mary) by the Holy Ghost’s miracle.
Jesus will reign on Earth for 1,000 years after Armageddon. There will be peace and the animals will not harm one another. A child will be able to play with a snake and a scorpion (if memory serves).
At the end of that 1,000 years, Satan is let loose again. There is a second Gog-Magog war but this time it comes from the four corners of the Earth. They are defeated quickly then, as well.
Then, it’s time for eternity and the new Jerusalem.
Well, that was a quick summary. Yeah I’ve considered doing what you suggested. Maybe this will push me farther along, LOL.
I know it’s not exactly what all believe. So there may be comments. I can’t please everyone but I WILL say the mark of the beast and globalization both seem to be coming rather quickly.

I agree. Not all do, of course. No one can set a date of course. Pretty much around the time of Israel’s rebirth, yes, the nations of the Earth can now kill every human on Earth (if not by nuclear detonation, then by radiation). And then there’s chemical and biological warfare.
For that reason alone, these are perilous times. Add in the Democrat rioters in the cities. Even more so.
I think this is a run to desensitize for the big run. The church has to leave or die. Both of us know Jesus won’t let His Holy Spirit warriors die so th eharpazo and then after all that “peace” and killing the real mark comes for everyone on earth?
Nevertheless, as we’ve discussed before, the Babylonian system has little time left and their prairie fires are out of control. These are the beginning of the days of the quickening for lack of a better word? I’m putting question marks here because I just don’t have an inside line on God’s final dispensation but these days are worse than the days of Noah.
Psalm 2 is right now but will get worse. You and I know this.
Crazy times, brother. Happening rapidly, too.
Given what the Democrats did since 2016, I had a feeling 2020 was going to be something.
It’s been far crazier than I would have imagined possible.
Yes, could see something coming but I had no clue after the impeachment they’d shut down all trade with a virus and enter in the contact tracing. Social isolation kills as does the fallout. Never in the history of the world has it been so evil.
[ Yes, could see something coming ]

I’m holding on the God’s promise to Abraham, Gen 12:3( etc) blessing the nations that bless and cursing those who curse. For now, maybe four more years( maybe) we’ll hand on by our proverbial short and curlies. But things are happening so fast now it’s more a hope and a prayer and a promise.
We are not much a Godly nation, nor is Israel but a promise is a promise and the prophecies will be fulfilled in mighty wonders
I pray the Democrats are not successful in their next coup attempt (massive voter fraud and voter suppression).
Yeah, fraud. They really want blood. There is no grey with these earth people
