This week in Prophecy
We are seeing more and more signs of the times, they are happening at an amazing speed now!
I saw a headline a couple weeks ago that really caught my attention, it was a picture of the Pope saying that the "Vatican calls for a Central World Bank". On the outside you may say, well what’s wrong with that? The entire world economy is in trouble, we hear of the European Union (which is its self a sign of the times) having serious financial issues, along with our country.
In the book of Revelation it shows us of a time to come that there will be a global government and one world currency, so it is very interesting that the Catholic Church mentioning that we need to move to a Central World Bank.
The signs we are seeing should not surprise us if we believe in God's word, it is laid out plainly in prophecy, look at Revelation 13, and Daniel 7:16-24 and Daniel 2:41-42.
We have also been seeing what the media is calling the Arab Spring, in which many countries in the Middle East rebelling against their leaders. I certainly do not blame them, but unfortunately this will give a door for the radical Muslims to take over, we already see that in Egypt and Libya. Syria is certainly in the news these days with President Assad killing his own people, and Syria plays a big part in end time prophecy, as it says in Isaiah 17:1 that Damascus will no longer exist.
We see Israel talking about taking out Iran's nuclear capabilities, and if they do so Syria and all the other Arab countries said they would attack Israel if they attack Iran.
We also see people in our own country protesting because of our economy and other social ills. We see a lot of angry people out there. Just look at Occupy Wall street, we are seeing violence, anti -Semitism, anger, pushing socialism, they want to destroy capitalism etc....
There are so many people out there that want a change; they really think a world global economy system is the way to go. There are many so called Christian leaders saying this also. There are hurting people out there; there are millions out of work, so something has to give.
The USA is not mentioned in the End Times, and I can see why, I really believe we will be absorbed in the European Union. Even though we see in Europe that socialism in not working, just look at the problems Greece is having along with the other European countries.
But there will be a person coming soon, the Anti Christ, that will seem to have all the answers. All you have to do is look back in the early 20th century, Germany lost the first World War, everyone was going through a global depression (sounds familiar doesn't), and a man named Hitler seemed to have all the answers, and we all know what happened after he came into power.
We are going to see a lot of unrest, it is getting bad now, but it will get a lot worse.
So what is the Church doing about this, very little!
We see a seeker friendly, seeker sensitive, social Gospel, tickling your ears, weaned off the word of God, many Pastors will not speak on the conviction of the word of God, as they do not want to hurt someone’s feelings. They want to be politically correct as they do not want to lose people in their congregation.
We see the emerging Church, new age movement; they add programs such as yoga, etc.... Why don't they have a program on the word of God!!!!!!
Do you know that 1/3rd of the Bible is prophecy, and most Churches will not even talk about the end times? That in itself is mentioned in prophecy!
We always talk about His first coming, but very rarely about His second.
Jesus came the first time as a lamb; He will come a second time as a lion!
As Jesus said in Matthew 24:4 "Take heed that no man deceives you", well there is a lot of deceiving going around in the world and the Church.
Again things are happening at an amazingly fast rate; Jesus said in Matthew 24:8 that it will be like a birth pains, the contractions will get closer and closer together as we get closer to His return.
Jesus is coming soon, are you ready?????
