Watching scenes of mass rioting in France with only a token resistance (I feel sorry for the police and emergency services sent out there) and the scenes and reports of hundreds of young Muslim men entering the United Kingdom every single day-upon a red carpet laid out by the government-I can't help being further confirmed in my conviction that the kingdom of "iron and clay" as spoken of in the book of Daniel is upon us. What's happening in our world is spiritual, not just political.
Why Israel? Why should a tiny nation with so much hostility towards it be the center of Biblical attention? The answer is that God chose the nation to provide the human half of the genealogical line to the Messiah. He chose the land as His own and put the two together.
Every time I'm tempted to tell myself I'm getting too hyped up about the possibility of end-times events I hear or read rantings of demonic hatred against the nation of Israel from political commentators and even professing Christians...
Paul, in addressing a false teaching going around in his day which claimed that the Day of the Lord had already come and gone, speaks of two things which will unmistakably precede and mark the commencement of the real Day of the Lord. Then, while expounding on these two signs, he says that some will believe "the lie". What is the nature of this future untruth?
Could Jesus Christ come for His Church today or tomorrow, in a surprise rapture event, leaving planes to fall from the sky and empty cars to crash in traffic? In Part One (find it on the home page) I discussed the faulty application of Jesus' words, “You do not know the day or the hour” to the pre-tribulation rapture theory. This post continues on from there. It's taken from my book (link below).
