The Terminal Generation :: By Jan Markell

Our planet is terminal but believers are not. In fact, believers today may be the terminal generation in that we are likely the generation that will soon exit. The prominent end-times signs that tell us so are everywhere.

Jesus chastised the Pharisees for not being able to discern the signs of His first coming. So why would God not want us to be watching for indicators of His soon return?

Sure, many of the signs manifest during the Tribulation, but they are casting a giant shadow now. To the Christian, they are a herald of His coming and to the unbeliever, they are a warning that they are running out of time.

But there are specific signs for the Church Age that we should be keeping an eye on! Nations are aligning as predicted. There is a great apostasy taking place. Israel and all activity surrounding her are the super-signs.  The convergence of many events is also a super-sign forming now.

I heard one preacher say, “I am no longer looking for signs — I am listening for sounds!”  Those sounds would be a shout and a trumpet.

With all of this in mind, I recently developed a new DVD teaching focusing on fifteen important end-time signs that tell me that the King is coming soon.

Here are just some of the 15 signs I look at:

  • The renewed worldwide calls for peace and security (I Thess. 5:2-4)
  • The business-as-usual mindset that is a global phenomenon. People are enjoying life, money, pleasure, and entertainment, and not paying attention.

Business-as-usual mentality

  • There is an intensified mocking and scoffing as it concerns the glorious news that the King is coming (II Peter 3:3). Most churches will not deal with this topic. The pre-Trib Rapture is also under unusual attack. The truth of our glorious hope is squelched.
  • I did not think I would live to see the rise in wickedness, lawlessness, strong delusion, the decline in the character of mankind, and the obsession with the love of money. Additionally, the love of the aberrant. Who would have thought little girls would have to share a bathroom with potential killers? (II Timothy 3; Romans 1; Matthew 24) The aberrant is the new normal.
  • The new technology and the tech giants are preparing a system they will hand over to the Antichrist. Soon robots may have better conversations with you than humans.

      Will artificial intelligence rule the world?

  • Tremendous renewed interest in the re-building of the third Temple in Jerusalem. All  elements are prepared from the priests to their garments to utensils.
  • The longing for a world leader — perhaps a single authority who could make all the wrongs right again. There is a push for a universal income and “social justice” around the world. The longing for a “savior.”

France’s Emmanuel Macron, the new darling of Europe

  • We have an unconventional Pope who is always making headlines. If Rome is “Mystery Babylon” as many believe, a Pope could play a major role today.
  • There is a renewed call for a world without borders and global government (Revelation 13). The globalists are just waiting for a global crisis How about the Rapture?
  • The Bible talks far more about end-time apostasy than any revival. Today, some churches literally teach the doctrines of demons (I Timothy 4:1).

End-Times
These are just a partial listing of the 15 signs I feel are a flashing light that the hour is late. Things are all coming together. The players are on a divine chess board and God is moving the players in a masterful way The road map is the Bible

This should challenge us to live holy in an unholy age. Every time we see something falling into place we should acknowledge that it is a faith builder. God has a glorious future for us and He is telling us in advance.

Drowning in Deception :: By Jan Markell

As Jesus Christ overlooked Jerusalem in Matthew 24, He spoke of the deceivers to come! Yes, Matthew 24 is heavily a Tribulation passage, but events of that age are casting a huge shadow now. As editor Terry James writes in the introduction of his new book, Deceivers: Exposing Evil Seducers and Their Last Days Deception . . . .

“Deception is the order of the day with the 21st-century world. The deceivers are among us. They, in fact, rule this fallen planet while the wind-up of human history runs its inevitable course. Never have there been prophetic topics more worthy of dissection and analysis than those encapsulated within this book’s title”

So just who is deceiving? How can you protect those you care about? There is spiritual deception and societal deception. Deception makes the world go round, sadly. And if you aren’t paying attention, even you will be deceived.

The chapter contributors in this 334-page hardbound book include:

  • Jan Markell: Religionist Deceivers Rampant
  • Dr. David Reagan: Signs Outshine Satan’s Seduction
  • Dr. Gary Frazier: Laodicean Lies
  • Don McGee: Cultural Craftiness
  • J. Michael Hile: Tracking Truth in Deceptive Times
  • Israel Wayne: The Schoolroom Seducers
  • Phillip Goodman: Middle East Misdirection
  • Daymond Duck: New World Order Wizardry
  • Nathan Jones: The Foreteller-Fabricators
  • Todd Strandberg: Media Manipulators
  • Pastor Billy Crone: Demon-Conjuring Con Men
  • Jim Fletcher: The Israel Revilers
  • Eric Barger: From Deception to Deliverance

I can’t review each chapter but I can tell you that when I got my assignment concerning deception-in-the-church issues, I realized I actually could write a book on the topic. I have roots in a solid, Bible-preaching, prophecy-loving church. I had no idea what I would encounter when I entered ministry years ago — before the great end-time falling away even got into high gear!

Truly, every wind of doctrine is being peddled to unsuspecting church attendees today. I was able to address just some of these issues:

  • The Mainline Mistake
  • Evangelicals Start to Wobble
  • New Ways of Doing Church
  • Hipster Church (Emergent/Postmodern)
  • The Laughing Revival That Wasn’t So Funny
  • When You Criticize “America’s Pastor”
  • Are Today’s Prophets Only About Profit?
  • So Protestants Are Now Catholics?
  • When the Left Isn’t Right
  • The Greatest Tragedy (dropping Bible prophecy and support of Israel)

The book looks at societal issues as well. As Terry James suggests, following World War II, America reached its zenith. It was a church-going, praying, family-togetherness nation that held to some biblical principles. All of that changed in the 1960s although the roots of change began in the late 19th century.

But by the 1960s godlessness began to replace godliness. Academia stressed no moral absolutes, values clarification, situational ethics, evolution, and more. The shackles were thrown off, aided and abetted by the news and entertainment media.

The deceivers infected everything and the mantra became, “If it feels good, do it.”  “New Age” and new thought replaced the God-focused post World War II mindset. It was and is a new day and not a good day.

Yes, we are drowning in deception but you don’t have to! As Terry James says, “The authors have done a masterful job of bringing to light the delusion taking place in the nation and world.”
