Headlines are all over stating that this or that tornado was the worst ever or the worst in so many years. We also had the false prophecy of Christ's return on May 21 in the news this week. The U.S. President goes further than any president before him to illegitimize Israel. Can there be any doubt we are in the last days? I don't mean days literally as in a few days. I don't want to be mistaken as making a false prophecy! The Bible says we will not know the exact day; that is why it is so idiotic for someone to claim to know the exact day. But when the disciples asked Jesus specifically what the signs were for the end of the world and for His coming, He said:
..."you will hear of wars and rumors of wars"...
..."there will be earthquakes in various places and...famines and troubles"...
..."you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake"...
..."because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold"...
..."there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets"...
..."if any man says to you...'here is Christ' or...'He is there', believe him not"...
Wow, it's a recap of this week's news! We're involved in at least three wars ourselves, I do believe; we have terrible storms and troubles; Israel (and Christians) are hated worldwide; immorality and sin abound and we hear too often now of parents torturing their own children; and a false prophet gave a false prophecy of the date of Christ's return. In light of all these events, I couldn't help but think of the scripture that says not to believe when any man says "There is the Christ", when that pastor proclaimed that Christ would be there returning to earth on May 21.
The false prophecy plays a big part in the growing hatred of Christianity in this country. It sets Christians up for ridicule. The world is watching and it looks for any reason to ridicule and not believe. While true Christians are not shaken, and see it for what it was, a false prophecy, it can shake the "faith" of those who do not know the truth. It will also be used to advance immoral laws. When Christians are seen totally as jokes and as bigoted white hooded creatures standing in the way of progress, that is when the likes of homosexual marriage, complete removal of God from the public square and public speech, and population control for Mother Earth can advance.
How can anyone doubt we are in the end times? Oh, I hear the arguments, "Things have always been bad" and "People have always thought the world was coming to an end". True, and the scriptures of the Bible are there for our learning and to turn us from those ways that will eventually lead us to the end, but we no longer seem to be listening and learning.
