Here’s the continuation from my last blog digging into scripture references about The End Times. Jesus had a lot to say on the subject as did Paul, Peter, John, and Jude. “…as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” -disciples, Matthew 24:3
6. Jews return to Israel Test – 8.8 million and counting!
“Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitfuland multiply. I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the LORD. -God, Jeremiah 23:3-4
*Since Israel was born as a nation in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Jews have returned to Israel from more than 100 different nations. “Every jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh (immigrant).” Israel’s population clock estimates 27 immigrants arrive per day!
7. Great almost-war against Israel Test– God miraculously steps in!
After many days (Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal) will be summoned; in the latter years, and you will come into the land… whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel…its people living securely, all of them. And you will go up… like a storm; like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, (Persia, Cush, Put with Gomer, Beth-togarmah from the remote north) and many peoples with you.” – God, Ezekiel 38:8-9
“But Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish will ask (accuse), ‘Do you really think the armies you have gathered can rob them of silver and gold? Do you think you can drive away their livestock and seize their goods and carry off plunder?’” – God, Ezekiel 38:13
*Gog= ruler of Magog= All Russia , Meshech= West Russia , Tubal= East Russia, Persia= Iran, Cush= Sudan/S. Egypt/N. Ethiopia, Put= Libya, Gomer= Europe, Beth Togarmah=Turkey/Georgia/Syria. Not involved: Sheba & Dedan= Saudia Arabia.
8. Damascus Destroyed Test– gone!
“Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city, and will become a fallen ruin… the land will be a desolation… At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are gone. This will be the fate of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who pillage us.” Isaiah 17:1-14
*Damascus is a populated city today in Syria. The Jews await this prophesy being fulfilled.
9. The 3rd Temple Test – There must be a Temple!
“and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as beingGod.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4
*Preparations have been made, but the Dome of the Rock sits in the way.
10. The One World Government Test – Only worship the ruler or else!
Revelation portrays: one world-leader, one religion, one payment system, one allegiance… very similar to China, N.Korea, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam today.
“Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God. I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast. They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. Revelation 13:1-4
*Beast= worst ruler ever, possessed/by satan. Dragon= satan. 10 Horns = 1o kings (Daniel 7:24). 7 Heads of the beast= (possibly) 7 different rulers throughout history.
So much to think on…
