What I want to do here is give a short synopsis on Bible prophecy since the beginning of the twentieth century. Generally....believers can go in one of two directions. In one they can simply take the very easy way out and point to a Bible verse that says that we cannot know the day or the hour of Christ's return. That in effect frees them to do absolutely nothing....to be concerned about nothing other than political elections....to prepare for nothing....and essentially to give no glory to God or help to others as that day approaches. The other direction believers can go in is to earnestly desire for Jesus to return....and therefore search the Scriptures....continuously....and patiently....and humbly....knowing that God will reveal prophecies in His own perfect timing. I am of the second alternative on this. Maybe you are of the first....or somewhere in between.
All of what I am about to write is after about forty years of studying. In the beginning of my study I had little sound foundational knowledge other than Jesus would indeed return in power and glory and in righteous judgment some day. If I read something from some prophecy 'teacher'....more often then not I had a tendency to just accept it. Decades passed....and long ago I found out that there was more to Bible prophecy than just reading and believing what you read. It entailed the whole Christian life. God was not going to give discernment on these things to us just to titillate our curious occasional hobby-like pastimes. He was not going to bless us if our heart was not in it....and even after He does start to at least give guidance in the right direction....it is still slow and dependant upon where we are at in our pilgrimage.....are we on the path....or have we taken a detour?
OK....that said. 1900 was essentially the beginning of the end.....to use that term. The Titanic was a sign....but this in retrospect more to us today than to those when the great ship sank. World War I....the 'roaring twenties'....the collapse of Wall Street and the Depression.....the rise of Hitler....of which much of the German church was deceived....trying to make Germany great again....the Holocaust.....World War II....the beginning of atomic warfare.....wars one after another....the great rebellion through entertainment beginning in the 1960s....the beginning of the collapse of Western Civilization....the ignorance of Communism in the West and then Islamic terrorism....the Challenger disaster as a sign as we look back on it....the rise of the Clintons which has metastasized into Obama and Biden and all of the other useful idiots....and finally the rise of Donald Trump.
I missed something didn't I? That's because the above were general signs in the world that we live in....what happened in 1948 is direct biblical prophecy. When Israel miraculously came back into existence.....it was the beginning of the end....of the end. That event basically told us that the clock starts! So how long is that clock wound up for? Some thought forty years. Well that was impatience and that was wrong. It seems the seventy years is the limit on the long side....and that ended obviously in 2018.
It seems as if the Psalms 'may' give us a message here....as Psalms 118 and 119 are messianic and law Psalms....just as were Psalms 18 and 19.....this all in the 19th book of the Bible. The 117th Psalm....the shortest chapter in the Bible....set the stage....and the year 2020 was to begin something....to put in motion something....but what?
The most difficult part of putting out a post like this is that just about everyone that I know will think it is unbalanced or unsound or something like that. That is evidence against a post like this. Evidence for a post like this is that just about everyone that I know has very little interest....real interest....desiring interest....in the literal imminent return of our Lord and Savior and King. God will not open or reveal His prophetic Word to Believers who show little to no interest!
This as I worded it at the beginning....is just a synopsis. I could probably write a post on every sentence in this post....as this year....this time right now....with world war on the edge....and Israel in more danger than ever before....as their allies.....us primarily....are lost in our own world of chaotic deception and delusion....where even believers are more interested in a false prophet becoming president....than the return of the Lord of Glory!
