There are multiple signs of it getting closer. The problem is, it’ll hit like a thief in the night.
I think there was a consensus that the season started in earnest once nukes came on the scene, because before that it wasn’t possible to create an environment where no flesh would be saved.
You are right. And I believe that we are in the process of being prepared to defend Our lord. And, most of us don't even know it.
I have and still ponder what is being said in the warning Christ gave regarding 'time' Matthew 24:22 And except those days (of Daniel) should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Who saves we in the flesh? This does not read like a nuke is being prevented or allowed. It reads like an attempt to replace Christ is allowed, because it is in Christ any and all are 'saved' in the flesh. And deception is the first warning Christ gives when the disciples ask what are the signs of His return.
And Christ specifically says that 'war' and rumors of wars, is not the end, in Matthew 24:6.
Our dear leader this nation hired to rule over US, has much company in how to 'fix' US. How many peoples vote for liberals? Why the majority of voters. And the mindset can be broken down into three to four different thoughts. Some are flat out deceived that the democrat party is the party of God. Others believe in the idea of wealth redistribution or 'social justice' and the rest know darn well what they are doing is against God and they could care less. Then there are those that could care less about bothering to vote.
What conditions does a thief look for to steal. See it always sounded strange to me to think of Christ as a thief in the night. So what is being said? What mindset must there be for any to consider Christ a 'thief'. Why wouldn't it mean there is already on scene another claiming to be Christ?
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
