For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like
a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Peace and safety"
destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains
on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
Most of us ask the question
"How much longer O' Lord?"
As each day drags on we wonder just what He is waiting for.
I personally really have no clue.
Now I realize for some readers
these last couple of blogs "Signs of the Times"
really just sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo,
maybe you think it's some sort of wishful thinking or fairy tail.
I ask you, was Christ a fairy tail? surely he was not..
The Old Testament is full of prophecy about a coming Messiah..
a Savior, and through Him a new covenant would be born.
He would be pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him.
That Messiah the Old Testament talked about..
who prophet after prophet spoke about,
that Messiah, was Jesus Christ.
The son of God, who was nailed to a tree for our sins, and rose again.
He promised he would return again, and He spoke of the signs to watch for.
So Christ was Sacrificed once, and he will return a second time
not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:28
So what is my point you ask?
In these times we live in, it would seem that we are closer then ever to His return.
We need to WAKE UP! Shouldn't we be ready at anytime?
Didn't Jesus tell us not to fall asleep? To always be ready..
for the Master of the house to return?
That we should know the SEASON?
Many in a twinkling of an eye will disappear from this earth..
Two men will be in the field: One will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; One will be taken
and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you
do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this:
If the owner of the house had known at what time of the night
the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not
have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready,
because the son of man will come at
an hour when you do not expect him.
Matthew 24:40-44
So what does that mean for those who are left behind?
It means 7 years of Tribulation..
7 years of triba...what?
Tribulation..in Daniel it says..
There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning
of nations until then.
Daniel 12:1
It's pretty much described starting in Revelations chapter 6.
Like i've said in the past couple of blogs...
a False Prophet will come, his job is to awe and amaze you,
not so you worship him, oh no,
he will turn your attention to the Anti-Christ..
who is to be worshipped. He will come with false hope,
and he will come in peace (At first)
You see if you think about it, The Jewish people
(the ones who don't believe in Jesus)
They are still waiting for their Messiah,
and they along with everyone else
will be tricked and deceived into believing Satan aka the "anti-Christ"
is that Messiah they've been waiting for.
What better way to be praised by this world then through peace hmm?
like for example bringing peace to the middle east.
You see during the beginning stages of this "Tribulation"
it's not going to seem bad at all. However it's all just an illusion
because quickly it will take a turn for the worst.
He also forced everyone, small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one
could buy or sell unless he had the mark,
which is the name of the beast
or the number of his name. His number is 666
Revelation 13:16-18
Yes indeed, the mark of the beast...you will be forced to have it,
that is of course if you want to eat, shelter yourself,
pretty much do anything, you will have to have this mark.
There will be no bibles of any kind allowed,
no religion except for the worship of himself.
If you happen to be in this time, you will see some horrible things..
scratch that, you will see a lot of horrible things.
This is the famous "four horsemen of the apocalypse"
that pretty much everyone has heard of.
Pestilence, War, Famine and Death..
Followed by 7 trumpets being blown, and the 7 vials
All this is in the bible, and although it may seem like
crazy nut job kind of stuff.
I feel the time is upon us,
for if the Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled,and they were.
What makes you think that the New Testament prophecies wont?
Now I'm sure you have been asking yourself this whole time..
"Why do so many think we are so close?"
Well...with the world economies struggling as they are,
and the talks of a "Global currency" a "New world order"
it just seems, to me..
like a perfect time for someone to rise up and take control
It just seems to be building to that direction.
Not to mention the threats of nuclear arms, terrorists attacks...
Israel surrounded by enemies, Starvation around the world...
earthquakes,famines, it's all there.
A church that I keep telling you
has become nothing more then a money machine,
A lack of care for human life(Abortion is genocide)
A lack of respect for God and his laws...
We have become a generation of filth disgust and a generation of ME..
It's become about what's good for ME.
"Yeah so...what does that have to do with anything?"
Listen, I'm not claiming to be a prophet..
I'm not claiming I know when he is returning.
I'm just prepared and ready for His return,
and personally I can't see how he wont return in my life time.
In fact, I can't say He wont return in the next five minutes.
Lets look at this in common sense terms...
So..the economy sucks big time..
Not just in the States but around the world.
As I said they want to solve this issue in a global way,
pretty much like this whole "Global Warming" go "green" deal..
with everyone in distress and panic
it's only obvious a downed economy brings more crime,
anarchy creating chaos. Right now the government
is acting like they are the savior, however they are the problem,
and they have been for a long...long...long time,
So don't think I'm just bashing Obama, Oh no...he's just a puppet.
This country was built on morals that we have lost.
The whole point I'm trying to make is this...
when everyone is down and chaos is abound
The time is right for a "savior"
and remember I said the Anti Christ will come in peace.
Because of him things will be better,
this is so people will believe in him, put there trust in him,
and when the world falls in love with him,
when the world follows him blindly
chaos and tribulation begin
...which we will cover next week..
"Peace...Peace..he cries, bringing the world united,
As all become blinded
corruption and destruction are his first love."

A lot of end time believers have their eyes on the middle east,
looking for a rebuilt Babylon(Iraq)
and keeping their eyes on Israel which is the promise land.
Israel is the hot spot/capital of the world...
It is where the final battle will be fought against God and Satan,
and many believe it will be the starting point for Christ return/Tribulation
God said in Genesis 12 he would bless those who bless you(Israel),
and curse those who curse you(Israel).
Some believe Jesus will return before any action happens against Israel,
others believe Jesus will return after Israel is attacked by Iran/Russia.
Either way...with what is building up over in the middle east,
and what is happening in this world today, His return can't be far off.
Here is Joel Rosenberg's view on Iran/Israel
