It is not only global warming, destruction of the ozone layers, wars, natural disasters, etc., but the values of love and beauty that we have held sacred for millenniums that are being destroyed in our generation. Is darkness taking over?
When we a look at the different ancient, sacred writings in connection with the present and the future, then it becomes clear that things will have to change drastically.
All four main world religions talk about this in their sacred writings:

A: In Hinduism we learn in the Gita about the ‘kalyug’ and the ‘ghor kalyug’ before ‘Ram-rajya’, or

B: In Islam, we find in the Hadith and the Koran, that there will come a dark period over the earth

God’s Kingdom.

D: In Christianity or in the New Testament books of the Bible, this ‘Dajjal’ is called the Anti-Christ

Foreword on prophecy: When there is a vital prophecy about our present days (i.e. in Daniel chpt 7 & 8 and Dan 9:24-27 about the last 7 years), these prophecies are all preceded by a prophecy that is already fulfilled, to tell us that the others will also come to pass. In Matthew 24 Jesus first says about the temple not one stone shall be left upon another, before his foretelling about the last days. This temple prophecy was fulfilled 40 years later under Titus in 70 A.D. when his soldiers burned down the temple and the gold melted in between the stones, so they broke up every last stone in order to retrieve the gold.
Signs of the times:
Signs of the times:
· You shall hear of wars and rumours of wars (Mat 24:6) (wars we know, and how the media love the rumours of wars) Washington Post declared, “Our century wars have been total wars….. the barbarian wars of centuries past were alley fights in comparison.”
· There shall be famines and pestilences (Matthew 24:7) Famines: The World Bank reported that ‘some 40.000 hunger related deaths occur every day!’.
· Pestilences (Mat 24.7) The W.H.O. (World Health Org.) declares: ‘more than 6000 people everyday are infected with HIV and the epidemic is getting worse’ ‘Diseases recently considered conquered are becoming unstoppable’ says A. P
· Many will run to and fro (Daniel 12:4) (traveling and tourism worldwide has increased immensely in the last half century and has become a multi-billion dollar industry)
· “Knowledge shall be increased” (Daniel 12:4) 80% of all the scientists that have ever lived are alive today, and add every minute 2000 pages to man’s scientific knowledge.
· “The love of many grows cold” Violence increases: i.e. in the USA, by the time a child is 15 years old he has seen on TV the violent destruction and planned murders of 15000 people. Yet we think it strange that teenagers walk into their school with a machine gun and kill their own classmates.
The following is the chart of the last 7 years before Jesus returns. Please, study this together with the timeline to get a clearer overall picture.
· After 3 ½ years of peace and prosperity (Dan 9:27) this NWO leader will break this agreement and he will set up a talking image of himself in the temple, which everyone must worship, a.k.a the abomination. (Rev 13:15; Dan 9:27; Mat 24:15,21) He will declare himself to be god. This leader is referred to in the Koran as the DAJJAL and in the Bible as the anti-Christ.
· A period of 3½ years, 42 months or 1260 days, (Rev 11:2,3; 12:6,14) which will be the most difficult, troublesome time for the world. The “ghor kalyug” or extreme dark period, with enforced worship of the “Dajjal” or Antichrist as god. Many will refuse and stand against him, culminating in the final Jihad, an army of 200,000,000 will come from the east to fight against him and thus starts the Battle of Armageddon as well as the nuclear war.
· There will be a great falling away - Will it be you?. Christians have always believed for centuries that they will go through the
tribulation, until C.I. Scofield published his writings in 1888 and his Bible in 1909, saying that we don’t have to go through the tribulation. Of course
everyone loved this theory and thus came the Pre-Tribulation Rapture theory.
Post Tribulation is now only believed by 10 to 15% of the Christians. Scofield however cannot change Jesus’ words “immediately after the tribulation…shall the Son of Man come in the clouds of Heaven” (Mat 24:29-31) Paul said it so clearly “let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed. . . who sits in the Temple of God showing himself as God” (2Th 2:3,4) Don’t be deceived by the Pre-tribulation theory and end up as one of those scoffers that say: “the Lord delays his coming” and turn on your brothers. (Mat 24:48; Lk12:45; 2Th 2:4). Jesus, Daniel, Paul were speaking of facts to come while Scofield wrote theories, taking a Bible verse, Rev 3:10 out of context. According Jesus in the book of Revelation we will go through the tribulation, but not the Wrath of God (Rev 16) ,which are the seven vials poured out after the seventh trumpet. The seventh trumpet announces the Return of Jesus. (1Cor 15:51-53; Rev 10:7:14)
· Before you believe Scofield please look up these verses: Mat 24: 15,21,29-31; Rev 7:14; Rev 12:6; Rev 12:12-17; 2Th 2:1-5; Dan 7:20-25; Dan 8:23-25; Dan 11:31-35; Dan 12:7 (time, times & half a time=3½ years or 1260 days)
· A super wedding party: the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Rev 19:6-9 After 30 days of wedding feast we will go on white horses and join the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the sanctuary Dan 8:13,14 Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a 1290 days. Seeing we are taken up after 1260 days for the Marriage Feast, we will come back down 30 days later for the battle of Armageddon and to cleanse the sanctuary.
· Rev 19:13-16 The battle of Armageddon will last 45 days. Those that are hiding out in the mountains and forests should wait it out for another 45 days as it says in Dan 12:12 “Blessed is he that waits, and makes it to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days” because then all this war business will be over and there will be peace on earth. The millennium starts. Dan 7:14,18,26,27; · Satan bound for a thousand years Rev 20:1,2; Rev.20:7-9 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth.” What do you think his line of deceit will be “Let’s have a democracy Let’s have an opposition party, as a matter a fact we better take over completely.” And he will gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Fire comes down from heaven and devours them. The earth surface is burned up along with all the space junk and atomic waste.
· Judgment Day Rev.20:12,13 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works, and the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works"
· New heaven and earth. On the Earth will be sitting a new city of 1500 miles wide and 1500 miles long as well as 1500 miles high, with many layers inside, a huge place where all the believers in Jesus that ever lived will have plenty of space for beautiful mansions. Rev chpt 21 & 22
Sounds like crazy Sci-Fi, doesn’t it? However if you have a train schedule and take a train from one place to another and you pass certain stations you pretty much know what your next station is going to be according to the schedule until you get to your final destination. So it is with today’s world-events we see them happen and being fulfilled until we get to the final destination of God’s Kingdom.
Don’t be alarmed, because we can have the peace and light of God in our heart and mind even if the whole world around us is in darkness and turmoil, by simply being a step ahead and asking Jesus, to come into our heart now. He will protect us and care for us throughout the days to come. He has promised to care for His own children.
Here is a simply prayer:
"Dear Jesus, I ask your spirit of light to come into my heart. Please forgive me for the wrongs that I have done and give me your gift of eternal life. Please protect me through any troublous days and times to come. Thank you that I am now Your child and that you have promised to care for your own! You said in psalm 91 that a thousand shall fall on my side and ten thousand on my right hand but it shall not come near me. Thank you for that promise.”
When you are God’s Child you don’t need to worry because God promises in the Bible: “if any provide not for his own….. he is worse than an infidel” This we can also turn around and apply to God as our father and us his children.
Also read Psalm 91 with beautiful protection scriptures. These are God's promises and God is not a man that He should lie. Now that you have Jesus and are God’s child, he will protect and keep you through these times as he promised. He will even give you special powers to do exploits (Dan 11:32). If you memorize God’s Word and not theories of man then you will stand strong, you will not be cowering but powering. Men like Moses, Daniel and other of God’s Greats will be helping us to stand strong and not be afraid of the Hocus Pocus tricks of the Antichrist and his false prophet, who had horns like a lamb and spoke as a dragon (horns means strength or power, Jesus is portrayed as a lamb) Could it be that the false prophet is a powerful “Christian” so-called, who deceives like the Devil? If he is not a “Christian” he is most likely a very powerful religious person. (Rev 13: 11-14)
Be Prepared and be not deceived!
