We now have:

• A UN goal of world government by 2030 (UN Agenda 2030).
• A UN goal of world religion by 2030 (Unify all religions by 2030; a planetary uniting of Religions for Peace).

The Bible teaches that world government and world religion (the Antichrist and False Prophet) will be on earth at the same time.

Multitudes know that no one knows the day or the hour of our Lord’s return, but Christians can see the day approaching.

It is obvious that Someone that Jews call YHWH and Christians call Jehovah or God has revealed signs of the end of the age, and it is rapidly approaching.

First, in late Aug. 2019, approximately 1,000 people assembled in Germany to promote a UN-approved one-world religion by 2030.

It is obvious that the god of these religious groups is not the God of the Bible, and their so-called “Masterplan for Humanity” is not Biblical or Christian.

What they are proposing for the “Common good” of the world could very well turn into Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth (Rev. 17).

It seems obvious that we now have a UN goal of world government by 2030 (UN Agenda 2030); a UN goal of world religion by 2030 (Unify all religions by 2030; A planetary uniting of Religions for Peace); and a Bible that teaches that world government and world religion (the Antichrist and False Prophet) will be on earth at the same time.

Second, in 2004, the Democrat Party Platform referenced God several times; in 2008, one time; and in 2012, none.

Even worse, God has not only gone from several mentions to no mentions in eight years; He was also booed during the 2012 Democrat Party Platform hearings (by contrast, the 2012 Republican Party Platform mentioned God 12 times).

In late Aug. 2019, the Democrats passed a resolution calling themselves the party of the religiously unaffiliated, which means religious voters are being pushed out of the party along with all mentions of God.

Some party leaders have actually called religious voters deplorables, bigots, hypocrites, etc.

To be anti-God is to be antichrist because Jesus is God.

The Bible says, “He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (I Jn. 2:22).

The government of Antichrist will be anti-God because the Antichrist will say that he is God.

Third, the Mark of the Beast will be a mark in a person’s right hand or forehead.

Several months ago, the large Internet retailer, Amazon, bought Whole Foods.

Amazon is now testing hand scanners that can identify people for store purchases, and they hope to have their hand scanners in place at their Whole Foods stores by the beginning of 2020 (Rev. 13:16).

It is obvious that incredible technology for the Mark of the Beast is developing.

Fourth, an astute reader sent me an e-mail about her word study on Jesus’ prophecy of “famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places” (Matt. 24:7).

The Greek word that is translated earthquakes is seismos (it is the origin of the word seismology).

There is a Bible story about Jesus sleeping in a boat when a great tempest (great seismos or storm) arose that scared the disciples (Matt. 8:23-27).

Jesus spoke and calmed the sea, and the disciples wondered what kind of man can calm the wind and the sea.

The lady that e-mailed me was pointing out that the Greek word seismos can refer to hurricanes (like Hurricane Dorian) and cyclones as well as earthquakes.

One must ask, in this day of climate-change fanaticism, should Christians believe that Jesus can control the wind and seas?

It is obvious to those that believe the Bible that He can.

Fifth, in May of this year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz visited Israel.

Fox News reported that they went to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem where they wrote a prayer on a piece of paper and inserted it in a crack in the Wailing Wall.

The prayer of both men was that Florida would not be hit by a hurricane this year.

Breaking Israel News reported this story while Hurricane Dorian (a seismos) was pounding the Bahamas and people were unsure about the path it would take.

Nevertheless, the storm slowly moved toward Florida, weakened, and veered north off the coast of Florida.

Some of the outer bands came ashore, but the eye didn’t hit Florida.

Knowing that Jesus can control the wind and the seas, and that He answers prayer, I intend to watch Florida the rest of this year.

Sixth, the situation in the Middle East continues to be a powder keg.

• Israel has deployed more weapons and troops near her borders with Lebanon and Syria;
• Iran is constructing more bases in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq;
• Iran has started up advanced centrifuges to increase the enrichment of uranium;
• Israel is evaluating a military attack on Iran;
• the U.S. has warned Lebanon to immediately destroy an Iranian base in Lebanon or the U.S. will support an Israeli attack;
• Israel has received verbal support from Bahrain, the UAE and Saudi Arabia over its struggle with Hezbollah and Iran;
• and Prime Min. Netanyahu said, “This sounds like the Messianic Times” (the times just prior to the coming of Messiah).

Where we are on God’s prophetic timeclock is obvious to those that want to know.

First, the Middle East has reached a boiling point.

In just two days, Israel attacked targets in Gaza, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

All of these nations are mentioned in end-of-the-age prophecies, and all of them are currently in a state of high alert.

The Iraqi and Lebanese governments called Israel’s attacks an act of war, and Hezbollah (in Lebanon) threatened to attack Israel.

Iran moved troops closer to Israel’s border with Syria and said Israel will pay a price for its actions.

Prime Min. Netanyahu briefed his main opponent in the Israeli election on the situation and beefed up his troops and weapons at bases near Israel’s borders with Syria and Lebanon.

Mr. Netanyahu ordered all Israeli troops to stay at least 3 kilometers away from those borders unless they are armed and wearing a bulletproof vest.

Israel’s ambassador to the UN demanded that the UN rein in Iran, but no one thinks that will happen.

On Aug. 28, 2019, Israel ordered a six-kilometer area of airspace along Israel’s border with Lebanon closed to civilian aircraft.

On Aug. 29, 2019, the Israeli military cancelled the leaves and furloughs of all Israeli troops serving in the combat brigades on the Syrian and Lebanese borders.

On Aug. 29, 2019, U.S. Sec. of State Mike Pompeo made it clear that Israel can count on U.S. help, including military assistance, if war breaks out.

On Sept. 1, 2019, Hezbollah fired several anti-tank missiles from Lebanon into Israel, and the IDF retaliated with about 100 shells of their own.

On the same day, Prime Min. Netanyahu urged citizens living within four kilometers of Israel’s border with Lebanon to open their bomb shelters.

Also, on that same day, Lebanon’s Prime Min. asked France and the U.S. to pressure Israel to back off, and Russia called upon Hezbollah and Israel to get control of the situation before it turned into an all-out war.

It was also reported that Israel had planes in the air for the purpose of delivering a massive attack on Hezbollah, but the attack was suddenly cancelled.

As of this writing (Sept. 2, 2019), things have calmed down, but there is much doubt about how long that will last.

For whatever it is worth, if all-out war had broken out, it is not unreasonable to believe that several end-of-the-age prophecies could have been quickly fulfilled.

Second, it is common knowledge that China has implemented a Social Credit Score system in some areas of the nation, and Beijing is now tracking what millions of her citizens are doing.

Many factors determine a citizen’s Social Credit Score including what they buy and sell; who they send e-mail to; who they associate with; the websites they visit; their driving record, use of alcohol, control of their pets, etc.

Chinese citizens with a high Social Credit Score are rewarded with better jobs, access to better houses, better schools for their children, lower utility bills, better Internet service and other perks.

Chinese citizens with a low Social Credit Score are punished with low-paying jobs, poorer housing, poorer schools for their children, higher utility bills, poorer internet service, etc.

Here is the latest: A movement is now underway to bring a China-like Social Credit Score system to the U.S.

Several High-tech companies are pushing the U.S. government to establish a Social Credit Score system because they want to sell and install the surveillance equipment (cameras, computers, monitors, etc.).

Social media companies (like Facebook) want to sell the data they are collecting to the government, insurance companies and others.

Insurance companies want to raise the healthcare rates on known bad drivers, smokers, drinkers, etc.

These things are leading to the Mark of the Beast, and they are a sure sign that time is short.

For whatever it is worth, the city of Philadelphia has 100,000 street lights that city officials plan to replace in the next three years.

The new street lights will be part of an interconnected system of security cameras, air-quality monitors, traffic and pedestrian counters, and gunshot detectors.

Third, on Aug. 26, 2019, Pres. Trump said he thinks Israel and the PA want to make a deal, and he believes it could happen.

If they agree to negotiate, it could still drag on for years, there could be war or whatever.

But it is important to understand that the Rapture will be before the Antichrist confirms a peace treaty, and there could be a peace treaty on the table in less than a month.

Fourth, on Sept, 17, 2019, Israel will hold a second vote to try to elect a new Prime Minister.

The election is very tight, and one of Israel’s small political parties has bowed out of the campaign and given its support to Prime Min. Netanyahu.

This was apparently brought on by the fact that Prime Min. Netanyahu offered to give the head of that political party, Moshe Feiglin, a high position in the next Netanyahu government (assuming there is another Netanyahu government).

This could be a deciding factor in the election, and the fascinating thing about it is the fact that Mr. Feiglin strongly supports a rebuilt Temple.

This begs a question: Did God set up this election standoff to put a strong advocate for rebuilding the Temple in a high position to fulfill His Word?

We need to keep watching and waiting (and, most of all, be ready).
