Christian nationalists are praying for a dictator to be our president. Aside from this a ten nation coalition has been formed to guard shipping in the Red Sea. This has been mentioned on the evening news. The United States has announced a 10-nation coalition dubbed “Operation Prosperity Guardian” to combat the increasing number of Houthi missile and drone attacks on ships transiting the Red Sea. Revelation 17: 10-13 says that ten nations will give their power over to the antichrist. All these things are happening now before our very eyes.

Why does it seem that everyone is hiding behind bible questions while ignoring the issues of prophesy today being as fruit forming on the tree ? I believe awareness is very important to believers today. We should not be ignoring them. Did not Jesus acknowledge this to his disciples.

Matthew 24: 23 Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 Therefore if they say to you, Look, He is in the desert! do not go out; or Look, He is in the inner rooms! do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Everything we read about "Antichrist" can be ignored if we know what to look for, and keep our eyes to the Throne. Matthew 6:27 Which of you by being preoccupied can add one cubit to his stature? People who are "puffed up" with there claims to expertise regarding prophesy and eschatology seem to think they are adding to their stature. Colossians 3: 1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Mike Mclees It's interesting that 1 John 2.18 indicates that 'many antichrists' are already in the world. It's good to keep 'looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith' (Hebrews 12.2). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is spoken of many times and in scripture. I am only saying that we need to have awareness which is acknowledged by Jesus and seen throughout our Bible which is in itself awareness. What is chapter 24 of Matt talking about. Edited December 26, 2023 by Mike Mclees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where does this have anything to do with being aware. If you stand on the rail road tracks would you not prefer to know that the train is coming or just be run over. Yes I know that Jesus is coming Edited December 26, 2023 by Mike Mclees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but this train is coming and you are already on the tracks. Maybe you should be made aware of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being aware implies staying off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
