Well let's start with faith....our faith....now you may be wondering what does that have to do with it. Well we know faith starts with believing in Jesus but it doesn't end there. Its also believing in what he says about end times and to go further what God has revealed through the books of the apostles and paul.
Here's the question.
Seeing these events unfold rather suddenly has it change your mind on things you once thought to be true.
Example
Some believe in the rapture...some dont. Some believe the reign of Christ is thousand yrs ....some dont.
Some believe many prophecies are of the past.....some say future.
Some say false Israel....some not.
So as the events unfold has anyone been on the fence sorta speaking seeing what taking place .
Are they dogmatic on there beliefs or has there been a change in their view.?
You expressed your personal opinion where I said you need to own it.
What have the scriptures and teachings you've heard and read shown you...us?
1. Jesus' Instructions to Us
First and foremost, Jesus instructs us to endure. That's is really the most important thing for us to do. He may have individual instructions for each of us, but to endure is to everyone who belongs to Him.
Matthew 24:13 "But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Mark 13:13 "And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
And He says this because our faith will be tested. Will we belief God when He says He will provide for us when the mark of the beast is imposed and we are no longer able to buy and sell when we say no to that mark? Will we still say no when threatened with execution by beheading? Do we believe God when He says He will resurrect us and clothe us with immortality?
That is the kind of faith we need to build up in Christ - to be able to say no to the antichrist and the beast system. We must have strong faith in Christ just like my signature says
"so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." (Ephesian 6:13b)
With that said, we are going to go through the great tribulation. Jesus said Himself that He's going to collect us on the last day. He said,
(John 6:39) "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day." I belong to God and I believe Him regardless of what anyone else says.
2. Two Wars That Seem to Head Towards Fulfillment
As I have mentioned before, the October 7 war resulted in the whole world officially turning on Israel and demanding a two-state solution. The two-state solution could very well be the agreement that the antichrist confirms with many. We'll see.
Daniel 9:27 "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Also Russia has allied with many Muslim countries. And that really hasn't happened before. That whole scenario seems to set up for the
Ezekiel 38 war which hasn't happened come to pass yet. It will show how God will deliver the nation from that enemy in front of everyone.
Ezekiel 38:16 "You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes."
3. River Euphrates Estimated to Dry up by 2040, but Predicted to Dry Up Supernaturally Sooner.
Revelation 16:12 "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East."
The
Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources warns that the river could be dry by 2040. So given that if left to itself that it will dry up by 2040, and the Bible says the sixth angel will pour out his bowl on the river, then the angel could very well be pouring that bowl on the river well before 2040.
4. The Technology for the Mark of the Beast is a Reality.
Some people in Europe are already using this technology - this is currently NOT the mark of the beast because it isn't tied to worship of any one world leader. But it is to show that the technology is already here. The mark of the forehead or hand, I believe, isn't an embedded chip, but a tattoo - maybe of a QR code or something.
Revelation 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads....
The Greek word used in Revelation 13:16 for "mark" is
charagma, which literally means an
etching, engraving, stamp, or scratch.
I would go with a tattoo over a chip because then updating the software, if needed, is easy.
5. The Third Jewish Temple Will Be Built
Revelation 11:1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
I think the two-state solution will allow the third Jewish temple to be built to the north of the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa mosque. We have to keep in mind that the antichrist wants the third Jewish temple built just as much or even more than the Jews do.
How about you? What do you think? How does the current events mesh with the end time prophecies to you?
