The End Days

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.”

~2 Timothy 3:1-7

I personally believe we are living in the end days and the Lord will be returning soon. I talk with a lot of people and the theme seems to be that even those who don’t claim to be Christians also believe life as we know it is coming to an end. While I am not a “prepper” I do believe we are about to see significant changes that will change the course of our lives. The world has gotten so out of control, even if there wasn’t a foretelling of these events in the Bible, I would believe WW3 looms in the not so distant future. The political climate is in upheaval; governments are pushing for a one world government, one world currency, and a one world religion; and all of this is prophesied in the Bible (Daniel 12; Revelation 13 et al).

“As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains (Matthew 24:3-8).”

Anyone who has given birth can tell you that labor pains are not fun. They begin slowly but increase to the point of severe pain until finally, the entire body is engaged in just one function – to push that baby into the world. Jesus says the end of days will be the same way – a gradual build-up of lawlessness and disasters until it all gives way, and someone pushes the button. The labor pains began around the turn of the 20^th century but specifically after WW1 in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson began The League of Nations. WW1 was the worst war ever seen on earth and President Wilson wanted to put a stop to anything like that happening again. However, The League of Nations never really got off the ground.

In 1945 WW2 occurred and 52 million people died. Then President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill got together and agreed what had not been accomplished after WW1 needed to be accomplished then. The United Nations was born. Although President Roosevelt was gravely ill, he pushed the UN charter forward through his diplomatic assistant, Alger Hiss. Mr. Hiss wrote the charter for the UN and it stands to this day. Three years later, Alger Hiss was exposed as a communist spy, was tried, convicted and sent to prison.

So, you can see that the New World Order has been in the works for a very long time. I don’t know when the end will come but I do know it’s getting close. Our only answer is Jesus Christ. If you are not assured of your salvation right now, at this very moment, don’t wait until it’s too late. Accept Christ as your Savior so your place in Heaven is guaranteed and no matter when the end comes, you will be welcomed with open arms.

“And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Matthew 24:10-14).”
