END OF AGE PROPHETIC OVERVIEW
Prophecies are given in the Bible as moral warnings TO HELP US. We identify seven major events that must occur, they are:
- Overwhelming Deceptions.
- Decline of Israel's power (America)
- Rise of an Uber Religious leader (above all others)
- Rise again of the Holy Roman Empire
- Rise again of a Middle East Caliphate
- The abomination desecrating the Third Temple
- Christ returns Triumphantly
Prophesy shows that all of God's word is for our benefit. The warnings and information have a moral point. If a nation repents these prophetic warnings can be altered. Look at the the cancellation of the prophesy against Nineveh for example. With all that in mind, what did Jesus say was the first sign of the end of the age?
Matthew 24:3-4 KJV 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Focusing on America and Britain, how does this deception affect the lost sheep of Israel? Looking back at the past will help us understand Satan's strategy to destabilize Israel in our days and the near future. Why is the one super power of the planet not involved in the last great battle?
Daniel 11:40-41 NKJV 40 "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, ….he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 "He shall also enter the Glorious Land,...
A blitzkrieg like counter attack on the Caliphate mostly located south of Israel from the Holy Roman Empire north of Israel will occur at the end of the age.
THE DECEPTION AND MORAL COLLAPSE OF THE LOST TRIBES
America has totally declined as a world power at the end. How? A moral collapse based on deceptive lifestyles will have occurred. The pattern is to deceive the people of God so then they embrace a moral cesspool and collapse. Why, because God withdraws His blessings and protection because we have forsaken His ways. We forsake God!
Isaiah 59:1-4 KJV 1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;...heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear....3 your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth:...conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
How far has America drifted toward perverseness and injustice? How much of God's protection has the nation lost ? Note the curses and blessings chapters of the Bible. See Deut. 28.
Isaiah 59:10-11 KJV 10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. 11 ...we look for judgment, but there is none;...
How much of Britain and America's domestic and foreign policy seem to be designed by blind leaders who are stumbling? America allows a spy balloon to traverse all America from Alaska to our coast then out of embarrassment, overreact and shoot down everything. This includes little high school science balloons. America screws up the withdrawal from Afghanistan so now over reacts in Ukraine putting much of the west in a proxy war with nuclear armed Russia. OUR ENEMIES perceive American leadership as feckless and confused and are emboldened. Big wars often happen when aggressors sense weakness like in WWII.
Isaiah 29:13-14 NKJV 13 Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths ...fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, 14 …For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden."
1 Corinthians 1:20 NKJV 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
How much are our churches and politicians and pundits making unwise destructive decisions? Is God cursing us with insipid leadership? The prophesies are given to get us to repent.
2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV 14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
The warning is the purpose of end times prophecies for the people of God. Repentance if not permanently altering the end time events then the collapse of America and British commonwealth nations can at least be delayed for many years. How far has society slid into the moral cesspool?
MEASURING AMERICA'S AND BRITAIN'S MORAL DECLINE
What will society be like at the very end of the age? How close has the nation come to this very evil level?
2 Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
What percentage have become greedy narcissistic lovers of money. Now we have a world with a lot of boasting and lack of thankfulness. Especially younger generations have an approach that 'you owe it to me' instead of being thankful. This is now including refugees fleeing so called persecution, demanding their 'rights'. Worst of all society seems to agree with this thankless spirit.
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
I remember when Tim Tebow put Bible verses on his football facing, and the NCAA passed a rule to eliminate any such thing. Many despise and attack anyone that pushes Biblical signs. Are the majority in agreement with hatred of the good? Many of the establishment Protestant churches seem to accept thru at least their silence, or more , the ungodly progressive standards.
Isaiah 56:10-11 NKJV 10 His watchmen are blind, They are all ignorant; They are all dumb dogs, They cannot bark;... Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yes, they are greedy dogs Which never have enough. And they are shepherds Who cannot understand; They all look to their own way, Every one for his own gain, From his own territory.
Many Clerics who should be crying out against the sinfulness, are silent or agree. How bad is our society? But some good trends do also exist that may slow down the decadence. They are:
- The ending of abortion as a national right
- The new excitement for protestant spiritualism seen at Asbury college and now fed by the Jesus Movie. Watch carefully the spread of the true gospel as well. Remember no one knows the exact date of the return but watch and pray about the decline of God's people.
