Those who say the clock is ticking are often calling attention to the fact that time is short or time is running out.

They are conveying the idea that something is coming to an end and those involved need to make a maximum effort to use their time wisely.

The Bible contains prophecies that allow interested parties to know when the return of Jesus is approaching, but not the exact day or hour.

History has reached the point where major prophetic events are coming on the scene.

Dozens of signs indicate that God’s prophetic clock is ticking and everyone should use their time wisely.

First, the recent wild swings in the price of stocks worldwide can be seen as a reminder that there will be a global economic collapse after the Rapture.

Thankfully, the markets settled down some, but when the Dow Jones stock market falls more than 4,000 points in one month and the headline on a tabloid reads, “Dow on Track for Worst December Since 1931,” people should sit up and take notice.

Second, the 2019 Tournament of Roses Parade featured a queen from the LGBT community that believed she was selected because her values aligned with the values of the judges.

The Tournament of Roses Parade has now had three LGBT weddings on floats (1989, 2013, 2014), the 2018 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has had a same-sex kiss, and the 2018 Miss Universe pageant has had a transgender contestant.

It is looking like the Days of Lot have arrived.

Third, Atheists and Freethinkers in Grand Junction, Colorado put a sign on a billboard that reads, “Make Christmas Great Again—Skip Church.”

They said they posted the sign because the Church discriminates against non-Christians, and because Catholics and Jehovah’s Witnesses are riddled with corruption and sexual abuse.

It is looking like the Days of Noah have arrived (wickedness, unbelief).

Fourth, in mid-Dec. 2018, it was reported that Russia, Iran and Syria said if Israel attacks a target in Syria, they will attack a similar target in Israel.

In essence, they were saying it will be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

On Dec. 25, 2018, Israel fired several missiles with bunker-buster bombs at Syrian and pro-Iranian military targets in the suburbs of Damascus.

Syria responded by firing a powerful long-range missile at Israel that fell in an open field without doing much damage.

The next day, Russia said if Israel launches any more air strikes in Syria, the Syrians will retaliate by launching long-range missiles into the heart of Israel.

The Bible teaches that Israel and Syria will get into a war at the time of the end and Damascus, Syria will be destroyed in one night.

Fifth, on Dec. 26, 2018, it was reported that the UN is working with a global firm called Accenture to develop and implement a global ID system and data base that will be forced on everyone on earth by 2030.

God is in control, but if the UN can meet this goal by 2030, it means the Rapture is getting close.

Sixth, on Dec. 27, 2018, it was reported that Venezuela hired a Chinese company to create a national ID system, that the company they hired recommended a system similar to China’s social credit score system, and more than 70% of the Venezuelans are already signed up.

The social credit-score system is based on support for the political system.

Venezuelans that support the political system will get a high social credit score and Venezuelans that oppose it get a low social credit score.

The government intends to use a citizen’s social credit score to determine that person’s access to government benefits, food, medicine, etc.

This is not the Mark of the Beast, but it is a major step toward the Mark of the Beast, and the Rapture will be before something like that goes global.

Finally, on Dec. 27, 2018, it was reported that China is putting chips in clothing to track everywhere their citizens go.

China is also putting chips in hats and helmets that can read brain waves.

One must wonder if any of these clothes, hats or helmets are being, or will be, sold in the U.S.

No one knows how much time is left on God’s prophetic clock, but there is probably not a lot of time on it; it is ticking and it is accurate, so we should use our time wisely.

Legitimate prophecy lovers know that God is moving toward a definite goal or objective: the fulfillment of every jot and tittle of His Word.

Pres. Trump’s decision to quickly pull all U.S. troops out of Syria is an example.

First, prophecy teacher and ex-military man Sean Osborne reminds us that Israel is protected by God, that God is in control and this is part of God’s plan.

Pres. Trump can’t do anything without God’s permission.

Second, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said God is moving and America’s withdrawal will speed up the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Many students of Bible prophecy have expected the Battle of Gog and Magog to happen for a long time, but it hasn’t.

It will happen when God gets ready, and the U.S. withdrawal could be a signal that God is getting ready.

Sen. Marco Rubio said, “Iran will step up activity in southern Syria (near Israel’s border), which will elicit increased Israeli strikes that could lead to a new and far deadlier Israel-Hezbollah war.”

He is probably right, and stepped up activity by Iran will speed up the Battle of Gog and Magog.

It seems reasonable to believe that this stepped-up activity will come in the next few weeks, not the next few months or years.

Third, in the Battle of Gog and Magog, the merchants of Tarshish and all of the young lions (perhaps England, the U.S. and others) stand around and ask questions about taking a spoil and a prey without helping Israel (Ezek. 38:13).

The Scriptures infer that God will cause Israel to face her enemies alone (without the U.S. and others) so that God will get the glory and not others (Ezek. 39:6-7).

Fourth, the removal of U.S. troops from Syria will open the door for Russia, Iran and their Islamic allies to rapidly (means very fast) build up their forces for an attack on Israel, and we know that God said Israel’s enemies will ascend and come up like a storm (Ezek. 38:9) which suggests that they will rapidly (means very fast) gather for a last-ditch effort to plunder and destroy Israel.

Fifth, Israeli officials are stunned over Pres. Trump’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria which means God is pushing Israel to put more reliance on Him and His promises and less reliance on Pres. Trump and his promises.

Sixth, Prime Min. Netanyahu said Israel will protect herself, but according to the Bible, Israel will be protected by the archangel Michael (Dan. 12:1), and Russia and her allies don’t have a chance.

Seventh, it was reported that the diplomats working for the U.S. State Dept. in Damascus will also be withdrawn.

The presence of U.S. diplomats in Damascus could be one reason why Israel has been reluctant to bomb some parts of Damascus.

Praise God for removing America’s diplomats from Damascus before that city ceases to exist in one night (Isa. 17:1, 14).

Come to think of it, withdrawing our troops from Syria before Israel drops a big bomb on Damascus could be a good thing.

Eighth, Pres. Trump wants to strengthen America’s forces in Iraq which is the same thing as strengthening America’s forces closer to Iran.

Those who believe the ancient city of Babylon (in Iraq) will be rebuilt might find this intriguing because the security of Iraq impacts the security of Babylon.

In a related matter, God told Gog to prepare for the Battle of Gog and Magog, and to be a guard unto her allies (Ezek. 38:7).

It has been reported that Russia is allowing Iran and Iranian-backed groups to move around in Syria under the Russian flag.

The Russian flag probably won’t protect Russia’s allies from Israeli bombers, and it definitely won’t protect them from the wrath of God (Ezek. 39:1-6).

Finally, as I am writing this, the U.S. government is in a partial government shutdown.

Every U.S. citizen needs to understand that globalists are using immigration to destabilize nations and create a crisis that will allow them to bring in a world government.

Globalism and open borders (not the cost of a wall) are the real issues that led to the partial government shutdown.

True Christians don’t need to be concerned about a world government, but multitudes, including many immigrants, will be beheaded by that government.

Those who oppose world government need to stand behind Pres. Trump on the shutdown and border wall issue.

One reason Pres. Trump gave for withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria is the cost in terms of U.S. troop lives and U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Too many people are ignoring these costs and the costs of illegal immigration to our school systems (teachers have to speak foreign languages), food and utility assistance, healthcare systems, law enforcement, the lives of U.S. citizens, etc.

If we are close to the Rapture, we are close to a global economic collapse.

The U.S. owes approximately 22 trillion dollars, and interest rates are rising (possibly making it impossible for America to get out of debt).

The U.S. can no longer afford to police the world; educate, feed and doctor millions of immigrants; and we definitely don’t need to forget that God will take care of Israel.
