WARS, RUMORS OF WARS,
NATION AGAINST NATION, PESTILENCES, SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS - IS THE WORLD
APPROACHING THE END OF TIME
THE WORLD IS
AFRAID - THE WORLD IS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS - THE WORLD IS FALLING APART -
Are we living in
the last days - are these signs of the end of time and the Great
tribulation?
Are we living
in the last days, the end times before the Great
Tribulation... are we
seeing signs, signals and warnings of what will be during the GREAT
TRIBULATION which is spoken of many times in the Holy scriptures.
Jesus warned:
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and PESTILENCES, and earthquakes, in
divers places." (Matthew 24:7)
The
Bible states: "And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell
followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth
part of the earth, to kill with sword (war), and with hunger (famine), and
with death (tsunamis, war, earthquakes, mudslides etc), and with the
beasts of the earth (Mad Cow, Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus, Sars."
(Revelation 6:8)
THE WORLD
IS AFRAID - THE WORLD IS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS - THE WORLD IS FALLING APART
The world has
become a very frightening place to be. People are afraid, people are
nervous and anxious and full of fear. We are living in a world that
is suddenly not a safe place to be. We are living in a world full of
terrorism, wars, new frightening diseases and viruses and startling
weather disasters that are wiping out thousands of people in seconds.
On September
11 - the world changed. On September 11 - Satan was rejoicing.
On September 11 - Satan scored a victory. But I am here to tell you
that SATAN CAN BE DEFEATED.
Yes - the
world changed drastically on September 11. What was a relatively
safe, comfortable existence turned instantly into a world of terror.
The Islamic terrorist group al Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden
accomplished something very important on September 11. The
terrorists took away our freedom, the freedom to feel safe, the freedom to
feel secure.
And September
11 was only the beginning. The world is dealing with so many issues
that its hard for people to cope.
THE WORLD IS FALLING APART -
How long will it last - Is the
world, the earth in the final end times before Jesus Christ the Lord
returns.
Our world is
falling apart. Our air is polluted, our water is polluted, we are
experiencing earthquakes,
tidal waves, tsunamis is places that are totally
unexpected and at the greatest magnitudes ever recorded. Global
warming is threatening our very existence and the new diseases &
viruses we are seeing in animals and food products are alarming.
WHAT WILL BE
NEXT IS THE QUESTION ON THE MINDS OF PEOPLE
The whole
creation, including the earth and all living creatures therein, the cosmos
and all universes that our Lord has created, are groaning and travailing
in pain and travail "together until now." The earth is
"running down" as Science teaches it will. Man has
polluted the air, polluted the water and the earth. The earth is
polluting and destroying itself through earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis
and volcanic eruptions.
NATURE,
through solar storms, falling meteors, black
holes, white holes and worm
holes is doing damage to the universe. Tornados, cyclones, tsunamis
and severe electrical storms cause great bodily harm and death to people
and animals, as well as destroying millions of acres of timber annually
through forest fire. The animals and wild life are themselves
polluters, spreading disease amongst themselves, as well as being
purveyors of many deadly diseases to the human population.
WORLD
DISEASE CRISIS'S - AIDS, SARS,
MAD COW DISEASE - END OF TIME PRE TRIBULATION BIBLE PROPHECY ??
AIDS, WEST
NILE VIRUS, MONKEYPOX, SARS,
MAD COW DISEASE - Are these diseases and
viruses the starting point of what is coming next in these times the world
is facing as we come closer to the end -- Are these facts pointing to what
the world will face during the GREAT
TRIBULATION ?
I believe that
the outbreak of AIDS, SARS, Ebola virus, Lyme disease, Mad Cow disease (BSE),
Foot and Mouth disease (FDM), West Nile Virus, Hanta Virus, Monkey Pox and
the latent TB and drug resistant TB that is now rampant (2 billion world
wide) is surely Bible prophecy being fulfilled. There are also so
many new viruses, bacteria and parasites spread by animals, rodents and
pests to human beings. Are these new viruses from animals also a
precursor to the awful things which will happen during the GREAT
TRIBULATION.
NEW VIRUSES
APPEARING WORLD WIDE AT FASTER RATES, SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
A recent world
headline that appeared (August 2003) in the Washington Post, must have
sent shock waves through the Medical Community and the general population.
From a theological perspective, the connection between Biblical
eschatology and the phenomenal parade of new emerging viruses being passed
from animals to humans, this new report is very significant.
IS END TIMES
BIBLE PROPHECY COMING TO PASS WITH:
massive earthquakes, the Sri Lanka Tsunami, terrorist attacks, the wars in
Iraq, Afghanistan and continuing unrest in the Middle East.
Are the news
diseases world wide such as Sars, Mad Cow Disease, West Nile Virus, Bird flu and many others
biblical prophecies. Are these world disasters, extreme weather
changes, world turmoil and mounting world wide hatred, wars and nations turning
against nations world wide BIBLE PROPHECY coming to pass.
The
Bible states: "And I looked, and
behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell
followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth
part of the earth, to kill with sword (war), and with hunger (famine), and
with death (tsunamis, war, earthquakes, mudslides etc), and with the
beasts of the earth (Mad Cow, Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus, Sars.")
(Revelation 6:8)
For a very
long time Bible scholars were unable to understand this verse.
Everyone had serious questions about beasts being a source of so
many people dying. When S.A.R.S. struck the world with a vengeance a
few years ago, the meaning of the scripture became very evident. St.
John's prophecy was so absolutely clear!
THE BIBLE
SCHOLARS CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WAS WRONG
The prevalent
though was that when famine came, the wild beasts from the forests would
enter the cities and towns and kill people for food. Some
translations of Revelation 6:8 placed the words 'wild beasts' in
their study notes.
Now we know
how wrong that interpretation was. God's Word is absolutely perfect
and as we near the end of time. As a theologian who has studied the Holy
Bible scriptures for over 40 years I believe this to be pre-Tribulation
more and more as the truth in revealed through events that happen round
about us.
In my
research, I found found that SARS, Lyme Disease, Foot & Mouth disease,
Mad Cow disease, Hanta virus, Monkey pox, Ebola virus, Aids and West Nile
Fever are diseases that have all come from animals (beasts) or rodents and
insects (pests). Jesus warned: "For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and PESTILENCES, and earthquakes, in divers places." (Matthew 24:7).

A Pre-Tribulation Bible prophecy being fulfilled ?
Rob Stein
wrote: "It happens again and again. Strange and frightening new
infections seem to appear out of no where, such as Lyme disease, Ebola and
of course, AIDS. With Monkeypox coming on the heels of Sars, which
emerged not long after West Nile, it is a phenomenon that seems to be
happening at an accelerating rate.
"Scientists
agree that the trend is alarming and appears to be gathering speed.
In the coming years, they say, dangerous new pathogens emerging."
WE ARE
SURROUNDED BY DEATH & DESTRUCTION - THE WORLD HAS BECOME UNCERTAIN
& FEARFUL
On every hand,
we see death and destruction. The Bible states that, "the
whole world lieth in wickedness."
(1 John 5:19); "And the world
passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God
abideth forever." (1 John 2:15-18)
No only they,
by OURSELVES also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we
ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to
say, the redemption (resurrection) of our body."
SATAN IS
HARD AT WORK AND SATAN'S INFLUENCE IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE
SATAN'S FILTH
& STENCH can be seen, heard and felt across the world. His evil,
unholy and corrupting influence is everywhere present; in homes,
communities and nations, as well as in academia, the government, commerce,
judicial systems and in the church.
The truth is
that the whole world lies in wickedness and Satan is the "prince
of the power of the air." Satan is the author of the "spirit
of disobedience" that pervades society today. This "spirit
of disobedience" is affecting millions of people across the
earth. (Ephesians 2:2, Ephesians 5:6, Colossians 3:6)
Even though we
as Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit and have fellowship with
Jesus and each other, we live in a flesh and blood body. We are
constantly being bombarded with temptations. We have Christ's
promise of divine healing, but we are still subject to ageing and death.
St. Paul
states that we groan inwardly because of our limitations and desire to be
clothed with a glorified body, knowing that one day we will be changed and
receive a glorified body similar to Christ's. The Bible says:
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us
not, because it knew Him not."
"Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall
see Him as He is." (1 John
3:1-2).
Death and
corruption have been present on this earth and in the cosmos since the
terrible 'fall of man' in the Garden of Eden. Everything is subject
to the 'Second Law of Thermodynamics' - that of ageing, deteriorating and
corruption. There is no escaping it. Everyone that is born
dies eventually and will go back to the dust of the earth. All great
men and their empires, small or great will deteriorate and go to ruin.
Now the universe is running out of steam and Bible Prophecy is being
fulfilled and will continue to be fulfilled as time goes on.
JESUS
demanded: “…Whosever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his
life for My sake and the gospel’s the same shall save it.”
“For
what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his
own soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in
this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man be
ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy
angels.”
(Mark 8: 34–38).
Christ’s
Victory and Satan’s Defeat is our
Liberty
for time and eternity! Amen and
Amen.
