There are certain things we are all familiar with that tell us with certainty that something is coming in the near future. When a family begins boxing up all their belongings and stacking them in one room, you know there is a move coming in the future. When two weeks worth of clothes are being crammed into suitcases and loaded into the car, you know someone is soon leaving on vacation. There are also some other things that are a bit more ominous than these commonplace things. When troops begin to amass on the border or military equipment begins to move en masse, you know an invasion or military action of some sort is near.
Luke 21:29-33 KJV – “And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Jesus makes it clear that, as with everyday life, there are also prophetic precursors that tell us something is in the not too distant future. Today we see, for the first time in history, a coalition of nations working together that were identified by Ezekiel over 2500 years ago. Three of them, Russia, Turkey, and Iran, all have troops on the northern border of Israel, the very direction from which the Bible says they will invade.
Ezekiel 38:15-17 KJV – “And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?”
Ezekiel 39 tells us that God will destroy the invading nations with an earthquake, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (Ezekiel 39:18-22) This will bring an end to Russia and the radical Islamic countries and pave the way for the beast of Revelation 13 to rise to power out of the revived Roman Empire.
Three of the five nations of the Ezekiel war are already in coalition with the other two, Sudan and Libya. They are positioned on the northern border of Israel. The protesting nations to the invasion, Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf States, are developing relationships with Israel. When you combine all these facts, it is like seeing your neighbors box up their belongings or load camping gear on top of the car. You know what’s coming soon.
Europe is about to rise to power, and the man of sin will rise up from Europe. This, too, tells that something else is going to happen soon:
2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 KJV – “And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:”
When Jesus said in Matthew 24 that no one knows the day or hour of His coming, He meant exactly that. No one knows the day or the hour, but that doesn’t mean nothing can be known. We know that before the lawless one can be revealed, the restraining force of the Holy Spirit through the church must be taken out of the way. Then the Spirit will allow the lawless one to rise to power.
If we are seeing the nations that the Lord will destroy gathered and poised to strike Israel from the north, the protesting nations developing relationships with Israel, and Western Europe rising to power, then we know what is about to happen, even though we don’t know the day or hour.
We’re about to go on a trip to the Father’s house in a moment and a twinkling of an eye! Remember, the only thing you can take on this trip is other people. So, tell someone about Jesus today! Our new bodies and our forever being with the Lord is coming soon!
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.
Amen.

The Lawless One is definitely coming
Confirming 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’
Daniel 8:23-25
King James Version
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

I am just waiting for the AI-Christ to come online
Ezekiel
Chapter 38
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
hmmm .... unwalled villages? ... them that are at rest? ..
...that dwell safely?
Yup that sounds like the Israel of today /not
The times are definitely upon us.
Jesus warned there would be few with faith at this time, look around and here we are!
Keep looking up brother!
“I am just waiting for the AI-Christ to come online”
Hmm. AI-Christ/AntiChrist? Only the n is missing.
Hadn’t noticed that before.
Good time at Church Wednesday night
I actually made it!!
🙏🛐✝️⛪⛪⛪
Still sore a bit but getting better
Amen!
Wake me when the shuttle lands.
I have my Samsung buttoned in my shirt pocket so I can text people on the way up.
OK, I'm kidding. Since I'm not convinced of the pre-Trib rapture, I'm preparing myself for Tribulation martyrdom by trying to live in such a way that the Antichrist will want to get rid of me among the first to die. If I find myself rising without benefit of motorized power, however, I won't complain.
(I’m preparing myself for Tribulation martyrdom by trying to live in such a way that the Antichrist will want to get rid of me among the first to die)
Just believe that only Jesus is the Christ, the only Begotten Son of God and refuse the Mark of the anti-Christ Beast in the middle of the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’.
Having made those decisions, then everything will be on automatic after that.

I always assumed that that was during the first three years of the tribulation.

I wonder why he never brings up the Revelation 12 sign.
“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
——————-
I’m pretty sure that everyone in the generation that Jesus was speaking to at that moment has long since passed away. So, given that, what good is the rest of what is in that passage?
Also, Western Europe isn’t rising to power. It is a declining power by every measure imaginable, starting with population. It’s military strength is minuscule, to the point where President Trump had to threaten NATO to spend 2% of their GDP’s on the military. Germany got lucky that last winter was extremely mild, otherwise they would have frozen have to death. That’s not the sign of a powerful nation at the center of a powerful continent. If this winter is cold, Germany will freeze. They are economy is really hurting, because the same natural gas that they need to heat their homes, powers their industry, and they have had to make a choice between the two… and Germany is supposed to be the single most powerful nation within Europe.
On top of these two logical inconsistencies in Tsarfati‘s piece, I find it hard to take seriously religious arguments from someone who gave up the faith that his fathers had clung to dearly for 3500 years.
Awesome, sounds like you are on the mend.
Prayers up for you regardless. 🙏
Main thing is to know that Jesus is your Savior and only remedy for your (all of ours) sin state.
Prayers much needed and much appreciated!
Feeling 95% better than Monday night.
My pastor prayed with me right in front of a local gas ⛽ station Tuesday afternoon.
He’s a tremendous Biblical resource.
More than that, a faithful brother in Christ to me for more than 35 years.
