It is our misfortune that part of Muslim world is convinced that current times are the end times
New World Standard Critique ^ | December 23rd, 2015 | Bernard Lewis

For the first time in a millennium, as I said, the Arabs are in charge for their own affairs, responsible for their own affairs. (...)Khomeini in one of his writings talks about the need to drive out the Americans and that little protégé, the illegitimate offspring, he calls it, in the region.(...) In much of the Islamic world the defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union is seen as an Islamic victory.

it is hard to find anywhere such an eloquent answers on the crucial issues regarding our, Western, situation in relation to Islam. West has been thrown (or threw itself) into the Islamic world also through its not perfectly designed immigration policies.

They may be right. The signs point to the end times being nigh. Only problem for them is, I have read the book and it does not go well for their side...

Obviously this includes all sorts of terrorist attacks. And Iranian offensive if not stopped.

Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is becoming more clear every day. The Iron part of the fourth kingdom (Roman Empire) split into two legs (Catholic and Orthodox). Then the desert clay (Islam) mixed in and is now invading the feet and toes. The stone cut from the mountain without hands it coming. Look up, your redemption draws neigh!

Daniel 2:40 “And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.
41 “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
42 “And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
43 “As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 “Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”

We are in the Last Days. Just not how they perceive it by their false prophet.

But the Tribulation must run through its seven years first. No, it has not arrived yet and can’t set a date when it starts.

Read Brian Kilmeade’s new book, “Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History”; no Muslim’s should be allowed to become citizens of America...and limited visas.....Dearborn MI is “the enemy within” spring-boarding into all America through Political Correctness spreading their vile form of government.

You will know that the Tribulation has started when you are caught up in the Rapture.

It kicks off in 2016.

Can you tell me which part of the Bible talks about this “Rapture?”

Sounds darned important, but I can’t seem to find it in mine.

In the 70s I got so tired of all the pop religion and end of the world false prophets that I wrote it all off, deciding Christ had waited 2000 years, and He might very well wait another 2000, but now I’m starting to rethink the whole thing. The way things are shaping up in the Middle East, and the speed that this world is being turned over to a reprobate mind has me convinced we are teetering on the edge of the second coming, the new Jerusalem and the end of Islam.

In order for these to be the end times, they’d have to think these were the end times, by my reckoning. So...

It’s interesting because while there are many things that have happened that can convince someone Scripturally that the end is near, like Israel becoming a nation, it’s the other developments that have me more convinced that it’s close.

Our world is primed for a lying deceiver and sin and immorality are running rampant in ways they never had before.

Technology has come to the place where it’s almost beyond our control, and it is making it more than possible for one powerful leader to take absolute control over even remote areas, in ways that were not possible a couple decades ago.

You might enjoy this video. It is certainly a different take than what has come out of guys like Hal Lindsey, but it does seem to follow scripture closely.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at it later.
