Bible Prophecy is now a Script for News Headlines

March 20, 2018 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

Global events which are aligned with Biblical prophecy are occurring so quickly lately that it’s been said that its as if Biblical prophecies about the End Times or Last Days are now a script for the headlines. Hopefully, you already know that the world actually doesn’t actually ‘end’ anytime soon. However, what is about to happen on this planet is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

Here is a very small sample of some of the latest headlines from MAJOR news outlets, not fringe or questionable sources of news, but major outlets like Newsweek, The Atlantic, The Guardian and the New York Times…

Recent Global Highlights

  • Turkish newspaper says Erdogan calling on other Muslim countries to form joint Muslim army to go against Israel from every direction. : Memri.org
  • US Embassy move to Jerusalem accelerated. : Israel Today
  • Iran threatens to ‘flatten’ Israel and kill Netanyahu : Newsweek
  • Assad uses more chemical weapons against people in Syria : The Atlantic
  • Putin/Russia threatening the United States should we take military action against Iran or N. Korea. : The Guardian
  • Knesset passes bill declaring Israel as the ‘the national home of the Jewish people’ with ‘Hebrew’ as the official language, protecting the country from the risk of future democractic changes. : March 13, 2018
  • Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman likens Iranian Supreme Leader to Hitler. : New York Times

The greatest likelihood right now is that there is about to be a short, but major conflict in the Middle East.  The primary actors are Russia, various factions within Syria, Iran, Israel and the United States.  A very large portion of Damascus is already a ‘ruinous heap’, but the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 is not yet complete and seems to be the next specific prophecy to be fulfilled, like watching a wobbling glass on a table, the suspense and anxiety is building in knowing that it’s going to break.

Latest interesting theory:  In the the near future Putin (Gog/Magog) may strategically invade Israel (Ezekiel 38) not just to plunder it’s natural gas reserves, but also to appease the rapidly growing Muslim population with Russia itself.

Moscow

  • Moscow has the largest Muslim population in Europe
  • Muslims are the fastest growing and most ethnically diverse demographic group in Moscow.
  • 2.5 million Muslims in Moscow, over 15% of the current population, projected to be 30% in less than 20 years.

If you’re still reading this and have not yet put your trust in Jesus/Yeshua as your savior then NOW is the time.  Don’t be a ‘mocker’ or ‘scoffer’.  Trust that God loves you and wants to save you from what is about to happen.   Acknowledge that you’ve broken God’s law which makes you a sinner. Accept the free gift of forgiveness that God is offering you…it’s yours for the taking.  Believe that Jesus/Yeshua is God.  Call on His name… He will hear you.  Ask Him to show you that He is real by coming into your life.

There’s not much time

December 30, 2016 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

Obama has expelled 35 Russian diplomats as punishment for Russia allegedly hacking Democratic National Committee computers, releasing damning emails written to and from Hillary Clinton.

The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 2334 condemning Israel and declaring all settlements illegal as well as declaring East Jerusalem ‘occupied territory’.

It’s no secret that the US Navy’s Nimitz Carrier Strike Group is on it’s way home from the …but it’s not being relieved by another aircraft carrier.  So the United States will have no carrier group in the Middle East for at least 2 months, leaving our #1 ally, Israel, virtually unprotected by it’s big brother.  It’s been reported that the United States does have one flat top naval ship in the Persian Gulf with a number of helicopters on it, but combat helicopters can not provide the same type of support that fighter jets can.  This concerns me.

There has been a string of BIG earthquakes along the Ring of Fire these last 2 months.

So, I’m burdened with the constant awareness that there is not much time left, that Jesus is coming back soon.

In Daniel 12:4, the angel tells Daniel to “shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end” and that “knowledge shall be increased.”
Perhaps this is the ‘time of the end’ the angel was speaking of, and perhaps the increase of knowledge is not limited to advancements in science and technology, but to biblical understanding as well.  If this is true, then only those who pray for wisdom and are actively seeking knowledge and understanding will obtain it…everyone else will be stuck  yesterday’s understanding of biblical prophecy, equivalent to believing the earth is flat even after enlightened scientists and mathematicians have proven otherwise.

It is apparent to me that most Christians these days are not ‘watching’ for Jesus’ return.  They are consumed with day to day living, their job, their family, and have little time left for studying God’s Word.

Excluding online ‘friends’, I feel somewhat alone in my beliefs that Jesus could be coming back soon, possibly on Feast of Trumpets 2017 which spans 2 days, September 23rd and September 24th.  I do leave room in my prophecy saturated mind for the possibility that the Rapture is not September 2017, but if it’s not, then the Revelation 12 Sign could be a road sign, warning of an impending change that is soon approaching.  Either way, ‘Maranatha!’

Billy Graham Says Watch for Convergence of Signs

October 20, 2013 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

“There’s a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we’re to watch for and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we’re close to the end of the age. And those signs, in my judgment, are converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.”

– Billy Graham, World Net Daily, 10/20/2013
