tick tock

All my life I’ve been hearing the prophesies of revelation is coming soon. Been hearing these promises for a lot longer than all the bombshells of the last 5 years.

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Durham...”

Okay, I apologize to anyone to whom this is a serious topic. I’m just feeling extra cynical today.

Hal Lindsey said fifty years ago that the flying metal insects in Revelation were Soviet Helicopters. Who could possibly take any of this seriously?

It's lost on me.

Cynicism is the attitude one has when reality reflects impending doom.

I’ve been pretty cynical myself lately as well.

We all have my freep; but today is EXPONENTIALLY different.

Do a personal study on the EXPONENTIAL growth of all things since 1800’s and then you might see that we are moving lawlessly at light speed as a culture and society.

Friend;the EXPONENTAL equation to your theory.

Well I know what you are feeling but Christians will rather not express this, because of 2 Peter 3:4. And please understand that we apply this verse to our understanding of the pre-tribulational rapture.

At any point in time, there would be a plausible description of the Tribulation world. I consider this normal behavior among those of us who take a certain view of imminence. Plausible because Scripture prophecy is not written to satisfy curiosity. Plausible because at every moment the mystery of iniquity is already at work, and the only reason we do not have the world under the destructive power of the Red Dragon is because of 2 Thess 2:7.

Things are still falling into place.

Would you seriously expect us to go from what we knew the USA to be 40-50 years ago to agreeing to the mark of the beast overnight?

We are being conditioned to lose our freedom and accept the overlords and one world world everything while the technology to track and mark and surveil everyone is being put in place.

And it’s not about just one event, like one war, or one natural disaster, but the sum total of a multitude of factors coming together at the right time, with the key factor being the return of Israel to the Holy Land their recognition of being a nation.

The stuff doesn’t and can’t happen over night.
