Are we in the last days?

On July 4th, America celebrated it’s 232nd birthday and I couldn’t help but to think, “Where will this country be a year from now?” You can’t help but to be amazed at the issues and events that are going on in our world today whether economical, political or biblical. Something of great magnitude is starting to happen. The storm clouds are starting to gather on the horizon. The winds are starting to blow and the waves are starting to roll. Everyday, meteorologists are using words like, “worst ever,” “record breaking,” “unprecedented,” and “unbelievable.”

Tornadoes, floods, droughts and fires are shattering records everywhere and are happening simultaneously in America and around the world. Nations are in distress with perplexities. The economies of America and the world are in disarray. Record oil prices seem to be leading the world toward Armageddon. There are wars and rumors of wars. There are earthquakes, famines and diseases. And all of these are only the start of last days birth pains that are increasing both in frequency and intensity. It’s almost as if the third rider of the apocalypse in Revelation is already galloping across the earth’s surface on his black horse. Current world events/Bible prophecy are accelerating with incredible speed. And then there’s the million dollar question: Who will be the next President of the United States?

False teaching is alive and well in many churches today. The truth is under attack like never before. The church is enamored today with many false teachings and movements such as Alpha, Contemplative Prayer, Dominionism, Ecumenical, Emerging Church, Florida Outpouring, Kingdom Now, New Age, New Apostolic Reformation/Third Wave, Occult, Reconstruction, Replacement, Restoration, Seeker Sensitive/Church Growth, Self-Esteem, Theophostic Prayer Ministry and Word of Faith as well as the continued acceptance of homosexuality in many parts of the church. Apostasy is on the rise and more churches are looking like the church of Laodecia in the book of Revelation, rather than the true church that Jesus Christ is coming back for.

Are we in the last days?

And what about Israel-God’s prophetic timepiece, the epicenter of the world? And what about Jerusalem-the epicenter of Israel? This tiny little Jewish state that has seen the return of the Jews to the Holy Land after years of exile (Ezekiel 36:10-11, 36:24, 36:37-38, 37:12, 37:21), that became a nation in 1948 (Ezekiel 36, 37), who has rebuilt the ancient ruins in Israel (Ezekiel 36:36), who is experiencing the re-blossoming of desolate, desert lands to produce abundant food, fruit and foliage (Ezekiel 36:8-9, 36:30-35) and has experienced the creation of an exceedingly great army (Ezekiel 37:11)-all of which were prophesied in the Bible and have come to pass in our time. Which begs an interesting question: If Ezekiel 36 & 37 have largely come true in our lifetime, is it possible that Ezekiel 38 & 39 may soon come true as well? Israel has already become the “cup of trembling” and the “burdensome stone” predicted in Zechariah 12:1-3.

All eyes are on Israel. Iran has vowed to wipe Israel off the map and has formed military alliances with countries such as Russia, Syria, Libya and is funding groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah who are threatening Israel from the North and from the South. The Middle East is seemingly about to explode and the world is desperately searching for a way to avoid nuclear Armageddon. Sadly, few, even among Christians in the church, understand the profound importance of this fact.

Could this be the start of the War of Gog & Magog as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39? I don’t know. But the signs of the times during this hour should be unmistakable to the Christian who is truly faithful to the Lord’s command. Jesus said in Mark 13:37, “What I say unto one, I say unto all, watch.” And again in Luke 21:28, Jesus said, “When you see all these begin to come to pass, then look up and lift your head, for your redemption draws near.”

And what about America? She seems to be completely consumed in the idolatry of the American Dream, oblivious to current events happening in our world in and outside of her borders as they relate to Bible prophecy. The reality is America is in decline economically, politically and biblically and has been for some time now. We don’t want to admit that because we have become a prideful nation, we are the “Super Power” that no one can touch. We are, after all, America.

However, a closer look at history will reveal that America is more closely related to the “Fall of the Roman Empire” than it is to a “Super Power” these days. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And it seems that as America declines on all fronts, that God’s judgment on America is drawing near.

You might be interested in knowing that America is found nowhere in the last days of Bible prophecy. That for me is most interesting. I suspect that God’s hand has been on America until now largely in part for the protection of Israel. However, we know in the War of Gog and Magog prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39, that Israel stands alone until the Lord himself intervenes to defend Israel. America is not there. Why? How?

Will the rapture happen? Will America get hit with a nuclear attack causing a collapse? Or does America just self-destruct internally like the Roman Empire from it’s love of self and fade into the European Union? I don’t know. But something happens to America in the last days that causes America not to be a big player on the world stage.

Are we in the last days?

The “Roadmap To Peace” is on the table in the Middle East. In the last days, Daniel foretold about a peace covenant that will be confirmed by the world’s last and most wicked tyrant, the Antichrist. Could it be possible that this prophesy of Daniel’s is now in view? Could it be possible that the “Prince that shall come” is about to appear? I don’t know. But Jesus said this in Matthew 24:21 about that time, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

God’s prophetic time clock is ticking. Is it possible that what we are starting to see, hear and experience in our world today are the closing seconds of the church age? The rapture could strike at any moment, suddenly, like a thief in the night. Nothing else needs to come to pass prophetically in the Bible in order for that to happen. And while the Bible is clear that we will not know that exact time of Christ’s coming in the rapture, we are commanded to be aware of the approach of His second coming back to earth. And so I challenge you with this question: Are you ready for the coming judgment? Jesus may be coming back soon.

These are perilous times. Let us awaken before it’s too late.

The American Apocalypse by Terry James: Does America, the most powerful nation on Earth, appear in Bible prophecy? Some people believe the United States will be wiped out in a nuclear attack. Others say it’s where the Antichrist will rise. And many people wonder what life will be like in America during the seven year Tribulation. But what can we know for sure? And what events are setting the stage for the last days, not only in America, but globally? Terry James, who has spoken and written extensively on Bible prophecy, addresses these issues and more as he examines the pivotal role America will play in the irreversible move toward one world government, the rise in world spirituality yet hatred toward true Christianity, the danger signs in America’s faltering economic system, the new world superpower on the horizon and the peace that will lead to the world’s greatest war. The American Apocalypse is a fascinating survey of what is to come! Release date is February 1, 2009.

Today, wars and revolutions define the modern Middle East and many believe the worst is yet to come. How real and serious is the threat of Radical Islam to American national security eight years after 9/11? Are there any Muslim leaders who oppose the violence of the Radicals and is there any hope that such leaders will come to power in key countries in the Middle East? What is God doing in the Middle East and is there any hope that Muslims will find faith in Jesus Christ? How can we as Christians help strengthen our brothers and sisters who love Jesus in the Muslim world and how can we reach out to Muslims here at home? Release date is March 10, 2009.

            Fighting for Certainty in an Age of DeceptionWhy the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your FutureThe Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East

The Truth War by John MacArthur: Right now, Truth is under attack and much is at stake. In a postmodern culture, Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth! In The Truth War, John MacArthur reclaims the unwavering certainty of God’s Truth and anchors Christians in the eternal, immovable promises found in His Word.

Epicenter 2.0 by Joel C. Rosenberg: In his first groundbreaking nonfiction book, now with updated content, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat and Christianity after radical Islam. You won’t want to miss Joel’sexclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian and Russian leaders, along with previously classified CIA and White House documents. New content includes the most up-to-date information since the hardcover release in 2006, a new poll about American attitudes toward the Middle East and prophecy and transcripts of interviews conducted during the interview process for the Epicenter DVD-video.

Isralestine by Bill Salus: Set to explode in the not so distant future is a devastating war in the Middle East. The Jews will fight off Arab aggression and end terrorism once and for all! Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, boldly unveils significant Bible prophecy that has eluded the discernment of today’s great scholars. Once upon a foretold time the Jewish people were to meet with a holocaust type condition, out from which they would return back to their ancient homeland of Israel. They would begin as refugees, but promptly emerge into an exceedingly great army. As per Psalm 83, destiny’s design for this great army is a head to head confrontation with a formidable Arab confederacy consisting of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, Saudis, Egyptians and associated terrorist groups like the Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda. This Arab coalition has been developing in its fledgling stages since 1948 and will climax and officially confederate in the very near future. The Israeli Defense Forces will decisively defeat this offensive and prove to be the “exceedingly great army” of Ezekiel 37:10. They will expand territorially, become regionally superior, take prisoners of war and exploit the resources of these conquered Arab nations. In that condition they will become one of, if not the wealthiest nations on earth. It is from that position of empowerment that the Jews will dwell securely in the Middle East. Subsequently the world stage is set for the Russian–Iranian led coalition of nations, which will form against Israel as prophesied in the book of Ezekiel,chapters 38 and 39. This non–fiction thriller is carefully designed to cautiously navigate the reader through the end time’s calendar.
