Whether one is looking at current world events from the prism of biblical prophecy or simply a witness to the chaotic events happening from one end of the spectrum to the other, from famine to food shortages, earthquakes and increased volcanism, economies collapsing like dominoes, nations rising against nation, war and rumors of war, terrorism.... we are watching chaos on all levels.
I have heard it said by a variety of people that there is an overall feeling and a sense that events are escalating to the point where many believe we are the "last generation," and that we are watching biblical prophecy play out before our very eyes.
"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" - Matthew 24:37
Does it matter if one looks at what is happening around the world and sees the "end days" events prophecy speaks of or if they are not religious and simply see the end of the world as we know it? Do the two have to be mutually exclusive? Must the two separate factions divide themselves because one sees it through a religious prism and the other doesn't, or can the two unite because both see events spiraling out of control and those awake to what is happening realize there is a need to prepare?
Look To Israel
Recent headlines show us that Jewish persecution is on the rise, anti-semitism is increasing to the point where the Prime Minsiter of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, is warning Jews to flee Europe and come home to Israel. Synogogues in Copenhagen are under attack, the recent shooting at a Deli in France, the descration of Jewish tombs in France....... all give weight to the religious assertions that we are witnessing prophecy right before our very eyes.
"Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe," Netanyahu said in a statement, repeating a similar call after attacks by jihadists in Paris last month when four Jews were among the dead.
"Jews of Europe, Jews of the world, I say Israel is waiting for you with open arms."
Ezekiel 36:24 - "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."
Zecharaih 14:1- "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
Matthew 5:44 - "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."
With bombs dropping in multiple countries aimed at ISIS, talk of attacking Syria & Iraq under the guise of going after ISIS, the Russia/Ukraine conflict with threats by the west and towrds the west, China and Japan, North Korea, Iran, Israel...... we see talk of impending World War 3 almost every day, which pretty much covers Matthew 24:5-6, which states "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."
Pestilences, (Plagues), Famine
Increasing frequency and magnitudes of earthquakes being seen across the world, disease killing thousands and spreading, poverty and famine and food shortages being reported, show us that we are seeing more chaos on all levels, coming from almost every direction.
Luke 21:10-12 - "Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake.…"
The videos below represent those watching these events play out and believe we are, indeed, watching a time where warnings end and the "events" begin.
