End Time Prophesies
Matthew 24:33 Said Jesus: “…when ye shall see all these things (End time prophesies), know that it is near, even at the doors” What is the probability of all these things converging together at any point in history. Most are converging right now.
1. Israel regathered from many countries - Ezekiel 36:24 - written 6th century B.C.
2. And around the same time: Persia (Iran), Russia, Libya - allied and all enemies of Israel - Ezekiel 38:1-12 - about 570 B.C. Iran (Persia) has never been allied with Russia until recently.
3. And at same time: Many will say they are “Messiah” - Matthew 24:5 - About 30 A.D. (Christ or “Christ Consciousness” or “God”). Currently proclaimed by many involved in the New Age (ie: Oprah Winfrey’s friends); India’s Gurus, Scientologists, Kabbala followers, Gnostics, etc. Never before the 1960’s has this happened in the West
4.And at same time: Jerusalem “a burdensome stone to all people” Zechariah 12:3 - written about 500 B.C.
How likely that someone could just guess which city among all cities in the world, would be most likely to concern all humans in the end times (because of weapons of mass destruction & radical Islam)? And how likely that it would occur at the same time that those prophesies listed above & below are also all happening simultaneously.
5. And at the same time: Jesus’ Gospel to be preached to all nations Matthew 24:14. Via radio & Television, most people in the world today have heard of Jesus and His good news.
6. And at the same time: Possibility of all “flesh” being destroyed Matthew 24:22. Until the 1940’s, weapons of mass destruction didn’t exist.
7. And at the same time: “Great Earthquakes” in diverse places increasing like Matthew 24:7-8 “sorrows” = “birthpangs” in the Greek. We all know that birth-pangs grow in intensity as the time draws nearer. Mark 13:8, Luke 21:11.
Number of earthquakes worldwide with magnitude of 8.3 or greater by 10 year intervals (From the U.S. Geological Survey website):
1901 thru 1910_4
1911 thru 1920_1
1921 thru 1930_3
1931 thru 1940_2
1941 thru 1950_1
1951 thru 1960_3
1961 thru 1970_3
1971 thru 1980_1
1981 thru 1990_0
1991 thru 2000_1
2001 thru 2010_7
Plus, consider another in Japan upgraded to 9.0 - March 2011. In 120 years there have been only 6 with magnitude of 8.8 or greater. Two of these have occurred just in the past 13 months Japan - 9.0 March, 11, 2011 & Chile 8.8 Feb. 27, 2010. Based on the prophesies, look for more great quakes to be occurring soon.
8. And at the same time: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12. Increasing terrorism, financial fraud, and lying politicians, worldwide, are causing many to be more fearful and distrusting of others.
9.And at the same time; “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot…Even thus shall it be in the day when the son of man is revealed.” - Luke 17:28-30. The days of Lot were marked by widespread homosexuality - Genesis 19:4-8. Today, homosexuality is being promoted as an acceptable lifestyle in the West. This has not occurred in the west in the past 2000 years.
10. And at the same time: Knowledge shall be increased & many shall run “to and fro” - Daniel 12:4
11. Wars & Rumours of wars - Matthew 24:6 Rumors of civil war (usually termed "unrest" by the press) in Libya; Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, & continuing in Iraq. Fighting in May 2011- Libyan vs. Tunisian troops, also in Sudan; Republic of Dagestan (against Russian fighters), Taliban against Afghanistan govt., CPI (Maoist) fighters against Govt. of India, clashes between border troops of Thailand & Cambodia, and Bolivia.
Coming in the Future:
1. Famines
2. Pestilence (Plague)
3. Peace Treaty with Israel - Daniel 9:27, Ezekiel 38:11 - to last for what appears to be 3.5 years
For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect. Behold I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say unto
you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the son of man be.
(Matthew 24:24-28).
4. Many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11
5. Mark of the Beast - Global Economy - Revelation 13:16-18
6. One World Governmental leader worshiped - Revelation 13:7-8
7. Damascus, a city of over 2 million inhabitants will be destroyed. See Isaiah 17:1 By the context of the chapter, this is an end time prophesy. See this 2 minute video: http://www.youtube.com/user/moabedom?feature=mhum#p/f/9/J2ljIITWwHo
