Living in Safety

Wow, what a time to be alive. I’m old enough to remember Bible prophecy talks from 40 years ago, and “we” thought the end was near then! In retrospect, I can see how that was the prevailing thinking, but in truth, it underscores how much we don’t know at any given time.

Once again, many are predicting we are on the very threshold of Christ’s return. I think this puts prophecy teaching in somewhat of a precarious position. On the one hand, it seems to be the case. On the other hand, there are some prophetic passages in Scripture that are “problematic” in pinpointing dates. And therein lies the real problem: often, we run ahead of where we are actually are on the prophetic timeline. God intends to keep His secrets, and so I think we need to be very careful about claiming certain things are about to come to pass. Looking in the mirror, sometimes I do this, too, so I’m not criticizing others without some personal introspection.

First, let’s look at just this week’s headlines.

The Regime in Washington trotted-out the figurehead this week, and he delivered a frightening and incoherent “State of the Union” address. Biden—who, I want to heavily emphasize, has NEVER been on Israel’s side, despite that 40-year talking point—viciously gives cover to the demonic Hamas. He has been threatening Israel in public and private, berating Bibi Netanyahu, who has both seen combat and led his country for decades. Biden’s personal accomplishments?

Grifting.

Next, lots of bad reports like this: Australia is renewing funding to the utterly corrupt UN’s “relief agency,” UNWRA, which has funneled billions to the Palestinians in what amounts to a slush fund.

Also, pro-Hamas protestors around the world are being allowed to block highways, university events, city streets.

Added to the evil is U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, publicly threatening Israel from the Senate floor, calling for new elections in order to oust Netanyahu! We remember Bill Clinton’s election interference in Israel from way back in the 90s, but this is unprecedented.

And here I want to make a point: it is clear that when Israel is abandoned by her allies in the last days, it will be the LEADERSHIP of those nations that turn, not necessarily the people themselves. The world over today, freedom-loving people are protesting their totalitarian governments. I’m talking places like France and Canada, not the usual characters.

In any case, I never thought I’d live to see Western governments harming Israel.

Meanwhile, the chief Hamas demon in Gaza, Sinwar, incredibly is able to negotiate even as he holds some hostages. He wouldn’t have lasted two days back in October if world pressure came to bear on him and not Israel. We are living in Clown World, or what the Bible refers to as “Upside-Down World”:

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who exchange darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)

But we are believers. We are not hostage to fear. I might be infuriated by Biden and Schumer, but I do not despair and do not fear that Israel will disappear. That is not biblical and it is not becoming a person of faith.

In 2 Samuel 7:2-24, we read:

And who is like Your people, like Israel—a single nation in the land, whom God went to redeem as a people for Himself, making a name for Himself by doing great and awesome things for Your land, before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods. You established Your people Israel as Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God.

The gods of this world have their few moments in the sun and then they wither away. So it is today. One day, we don’t know when, Israel will “dwell in safety,” with no walls. It is then that the stage is set for the Great Day of the Lord. Currently, Israel does not “live in safety.”

Until then, our mandate is to pray and watch.

The victory is already assured.

Antichrist’s Stronghold Surging

If these are the last of the last days we are experiencing, we who are believers should possess the capability to know just how near is our Lord’s Return. A powerful scripture that makes this so is the Command Given by the Lord Himself.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

Jesus, when using the phrase all these things, was referencing the prophetic signals that would immediately precede His breaking in on this incorrigible world of rebels against God. The signs would be, he forewarned, prolific and ubiquitous. That is, these prophesied things will be tremendous in terms of their happening and swiftness in coming to pass. These will be in every direction one looks. It will be a time of a prophetic horizon filled with unmistakable indicators that the believers alive at the time cannot miss.

This generation of the Redeemed is to be looking up for His coming to bring Fulfillment of their Promised Redemption. I.e., the Rapture will, the Lord Promises, be on the very cusp of happening when all the indicators will be flashing brightly into the spiritual eyes of those who are in God’s Family.

One of the most profound prophecies given in God’s Word concerning the very last days before Christ’s physical Return to Planet Earth involves that of the world’s final dictator, the one John called Antichrist.

There have been volumes written on this foretold tyrant that will, for a short time, rule much of the world.

We are told in Revelation chapter 13 that he will cause all to receive a mark and number in order to survive. This has, at its core, the infamous 666 numbering system. It will no doubt be the outgrowth –the greatly developed technology—involving digital currency and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

That technology is, at this point, a worldwide reality because of satellites connecting all continents with instantaneous transacting capability.

So, the Antichrist’s technologies are on the scene now, as is the entirety of the societal, cultural, geopolitical, and religious stage-setting for the coming Tribulation era.

There are differing views regarding from what area of the ancient Roman Empire will come the one who will be Antichrist. My own view –which I believe has been for many decades the view of solid Bible prophecy scholars such as Dr. John Walvoord, Dr. Dwight Pentecost, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. Tim LaHaye, and many others, is that this final world dictator will come out of Western Europe. –Thus, because he will, according to Daniel the prophet, be the prince that shall come out of the Roman force that destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple in A.D. 70. Here again is the prophecy that helps draw this conclusion.

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Daniel 9:26-27).

Antichrist, that prince that shall come, we are convicted, will not be from the eastern leg of the old Roman Empire, that is, not from out of Constantinople, the eastern capital, but from Rome, the capital of the western leg of that monstrous dream vision Daniel interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar, as recorded in Daniel chapter 2.

It is from out of Rome that General Titus, sent by his father, Roman Emperor Vespasian, led the Roman legions in destroying Jerusalem and the Temple.

In consideration of this and taking into account that all other signals now are in place, setting the stage for that man of sin’s coming to power, we must take a serious look at a recent matter that is in the process of developing.

We must examine whether Antichrist’s western European stronghold –his inevitable geographic base location, can now be determined. The following news brief is interesting in that regard.

Horizon Europe is the European Commission’s plan to implement “adapting our way of life” for climate change; funding digital, genome collections and cybersecurity projects under the guise of tackling cancer; a digital twin of the oceans; smart cities for which two UK cities have been selected; and, a “soil deal for Europe” which is another means of achieving the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This is the advance of technocracy. The UN Sustainable Development Goals is technocracy.

(“UKSTF”). Launched in March 2023, the UKSTF is the UK government’s plan to cement the UK’s place as a science and technology superpower by 2030…. Where is all of this leading to? Technocracy…

Governments are increasingly exerting control over citizens, eroding rights and freedoms. Centralization of power is on the rise, which is undermining the role of local governments.

Across the world, regimes, such as the European Union, are constructing a worldwide enslavement grid that has not been possible before as the technology was not available.

Several different technologies are being implemented over time and in different places. It’s easy to lose sight that it is all connected…

Throughout history, dictators and tyrants have been constrained by various factors, such as logistical difficulties, fear of resistance, or the intervention of other nations. However, as technology advances, these limitations are becoming increasingly weaker, allowing dictators to push people further than ever before…

So it is prudent to look at this development in Europe as likely being the constructing of that future and final world dictator’s stronghold. Horizon Europe is yet another brick in the neo-tower of Babel Lucifer is building. “Build Back Better” is the slogan that globalists such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and others are proclaiming in demanding a “Great Reset.”

These anti-God minions of Ephesians 6: 12 will have their construction pathway when Christ Calls believers to Himself in the Rapture. Those left behind to face the penultimate evil flowing from Antichrist’s stronghold will endure the worst time of all human history, according to Jesus Himself (Matthew 24:21).

You need not be in those numbers left behind. Here is how to instead go to the Safe Heavenly Shelter the Lord has Prepared for those who love Him and accept God’s Grace Gift Offer.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).
