A local pastor says that the unprovoked attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists is a fulfillment of scripture, ushering in the end time.
He did not want to be named since he says it is a sensitive topic for many denominations, not just in Solomon Islands but the World.
The local pastor leads a sizeable congregation in Honiara, and is calling on Christians to pray for Israel, and to prepare their families spiritually.
“This is a once in a generation war, and if you look at the scriptures this was predicted thousands of years ago. This war will usher in the end times, and very soon the antichrist will show himself, all the signs are there.
“There will be a peace treaty, because that is the only way this war will end, and that is when the antichrist will take center stage, he will lead negotiations and will appear as the peace maker.
“But that is a mask, and it will be over in 7 years when he will show his true colors, so we must be ready.”

I suppose I should go to Confession...soon.
Right? There has always been a “The End is Near” crowd.
Could be. Or maybe not.
When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t even know when this would occur. “Like a thief in the night…”
>It’s gonna get a lot worse first<
Yes, that’s what it says in the Bible.
Not going to be easy either!
What is interesting is that literally you could see people dancing in the street celebrating a massacre. Masks came off of a lot of people.
Matthew 24:27 ESV
For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
> I take this as meaning a war from middle east coming to us.<
Thoughts?
I had friends back in the mid 80s who cancelled plans because 1988 was the year. Jesus told US it would come when we least expect it.
The first two and their followers would beg to differ with you.
I agree it’s premature however it could be possible we’re seeing how it will shape up....
Amazing is how much of the world is supporting Hamas. Hard to believe so many haven’t a clue about who and what they are supporting -—are blind in both eyes! They are in lock step with Islamic Jihad.
I think it’s fair to say we’re living in prophetic times...however we do not know the timing of how things will happen but we do have a blueprint of what it will look like - I don’t think we’re there yet ....too many things aren’t in place.
Prophtically the next event would be Jesus coming for belivers, though his feet do not touch the ground, we go to him.
Some believe there are two great wars....the Gog Magog war first then Armagddon own the line.
Agree completely
From the article:
“”Greg Laurie, the head of California megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship, made similar claims in a sermon he delivered on Sunday, shortly after the attack.””
“”I actually get distracted by trying to read every single tea leave “”
Absolutely agree with you - we have to find out for ourselves that all the energy put into the “end times” will stress us no end...
