WHAT TIME DO YOU HAVE?

I recall several times in my life getting an injury, an illness, a military deployment, some accident, mechanical breakage, or mishap and saying, “well, it could have been much worse.” I was thankful that it was not as bad as it could have easily been.

The above came to mind as I looked around at geopolitical events and the loss of freedoms and rights in many Western nations and globally. I am not trying to scaremonger because these things must come to pass, leading up to the Tribulation and one-world government. Everything is escalating downhill faster than anyone can analyze or predict today. The exception is our Lord, who knows the beginning from the end.

The laundry list of what our Bible predicts for the end-time generation is so long it would take a book to mention most of them that are now coming to fruition. For example, I’d like to stick only to dangerous times, and wars and rumors of wars.

The apostle Paul said: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1).

Jesus said: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (Matthew 24:6)

Admittedly, there have always been wars and rumors of wars historically. What is the attention-grabber distinction of what Jesus and Paul stated above? I submit global wars and conflicts, and plenty of them.

Much could be discussed and commented upon with WW I & WW II; the relationship with the valley of dry bones coming to life, the Holocaust implications, and Israel becoming a nation again in one day, May 14, 1948.

The invasion of Ukraine aside, which I believe to be supplementary to the forthcoming Gog-Magog invasion of Israel.

I am omitting all the embarrassing debacles of Benghazi, Afghanistan, and many other failed actions and inactions of recent democratic administrations. America has become insignificant, untrustworthy to its commitments, promises, and international obligations. It has abandoned and deserted military members and American citizens to fend for their lives in hostile environments. In my opinion, this is the worst president and antisemitic administration in United States history.

Because of these weak and inept administrations blunders, enemies of America have become emboldened and poised to take advantage of the situation. I believe China will invade Taiwan anytime now. North Korea may try to take back the South and menace the world. Pacification has never worked in the history of the world. Iran will attempt to make good on its constant threats toward big and little Satan. Terrorism will be revitalized, to name a few.

Civil war and rebellion may be on the horizon for the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other nations because of despot governments and dictators? At any additional time in history, has there ever been such perilous global times, wars and rumors of wars, division of nations, and loss of national sovereignty? Their goal is to be enacted; global citizenship.

I wonder how much the Lord will allow us to witness before He calls us home?

 

Good question. How much will we see before the rapture of the Church? God knows and His timing is perfect.

Yeah, it makes me wonder why Jesus would tell them to watch and pray as He unfolded all that would happen if they would not be here to witness it?

Semantics. I pretty much agree with your thoughts, with little disagreement with the content, other than maybe the timing of events. 

If I didn't make it clear, the Lord alone is going fight and destroy Gog-Magog for his glory. Apparently, Israel will not even mount a defense. The whole world will know it was the God of Israel that did it. He is not doing it for Israel, but for His glory and keeping His covenant. 

I suspect the name or title "Gog", is something like a leader, president, or king, it could also be a demonic name or title? Right now, I have thoughts of Putin?

Five-sixths of this invasion force against Israel will be destroyed. The way I read scripture, each nation that participated with Magog, their homelands will also be severely punished. I have an interest in who these faraway isles could be?

Time to get ready for Sunday School and church. Later.

Yup...this is just one of the keys I have adopted for more consideration and a discarding of many assumptions.

Why do you think they're not here and don't watch it?

The Pre-Trib believers will tell you that they will not be around to see the times of the tribulation.  I am not of that camp.

I lean toward thinking we are hede as we are now, until Christ returns for fhat Last Day, when all things change and final judgement occurs. I may be wrong. No seperate rapture.
