"The Least Happy People Have 2 Things In Common"

Americans are unhappier than they've ever been before.  According to a recent study by The Institute for Family Studies:

"The last few years have been hard on everyone...Pandemic disease, lockdowns, protests, riots, crime, divisive politics, shootings, deaths of dispair, and an epidemic of loneliness-the list of reasons for being not-too-happy seem to be legion," the study found.

The least happy? 

"Unmarried and not religious. Today, 60% of people under 35 fit this category...more young people lack the vital support of a spouse and a religious community, and thus new forms of adversity can rapidly lead to astonishingly severe levels of unhappiness," the study revealed.

Not surprising, when you consider that a new Gallop Poll found both faith in God and the Bible have dipped to all-time lows, with younger, more liberal Americans the least likely to believe in either.

The Bible predicts there will be a great apostacy--a rebellion or abandonment of the truth--during the endtimes. This will include a wholesale rejection of God's revelation found in the Bible, a further "falling away" of an already fallen world.

GotQuestions.org put it this way:

"In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Paul makes it clear that the day of the Lord, a time of worldwide judgment (Isaiah 13:6; Obadiah 1:15), will not transpire until two things happen. First, the falling away, or great apostacy, must occur. Second, the 'man of lawlessness' must be revealed, he who is called the 'son of perdition' also known as the Antichrist. Once this person makes himself known, the endtimes will indeed have come."

According to the polls, we are well into the 'falling away or great apostacy.' The time to secure your salvation is now--once the Church is removed and the 'son of perdition' shows up it will be too late to escape the coming time of Tribulation.

A wise man once said: "The Greek word translated "rebellion" or "falling away" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is apostasia, from which we get the English word 'apostacy'. It refers to a general defection from the true God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. Every age has its defectors, but the falling away at the endtimes will be complete and world wide. The whole planet will be in rebellion against God and His Christ. Every coup requires a leader, and into this global apostacy will step the Antichrist. We believe this takes place after the church has been raptured from the earth." - GotQuestions.org

"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold" (MATTHEW 24:10-12).

"2 Major Signs You Need 2 Know"

Because so few mainline churches teach on Bible prophecy, many have no idea how far along the prophetic timeline we have come.

Prophecy expert Bill Salus contends God's calendar of endtime events all revolve around Israel and has a definite beginning-the rebirth of the nation of Israel-and another major signpost (yet to come, but also involving Israel) signaling we are getting close to the end.

"The re-establishment of Israel on May 14, 1948 is when the world's hour glass made its final turn," Salus declares.

"The Magog invasion of  Israel (see Ezekiel 38-39), is the other major prophetic maker for this generation to consider. Ezekiel 38:1-39:20 contains forty-three verses of some of the most consolidated and descriptive prophetic information found anywhere within the Bible. The reader of these passages doesn't need to be a Bible scholar, rocket scientist, or even a believer to glean a relatively detailed understand of this forthcoming prophecy. By interpreting these verses literally the reader is made aware of the:

• Timing of the event- (in the endtimes) Ezekeil 38:8,16
• Identities of the invading coalition- (Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc.) Ezekiel 38:1-5
• Motivation for the invasion of Israel- (to plunder Israel) Ezekiel 38:12-13
• Supernatural defeat of the invaders- (through earthquakes, pestilence, flooding rains and great hailstones) Ezekiel 38:18-23

Salus places this invasion just before the 7 years of tribulation, but after the Rapture of the Church.

So, how far along the prophetic timeline are we?

According to Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel, the Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38 is being formed right now before our very eyes:

" We are watching some very interesting developments...the mainstream news is not telling you the truth. Iran has enough enriched-uranium right now to make at least five nuclear bombs...and nobody is doing anything about it...when the time comes, they will come against Israel."

 According to Bill Salus, when they do, it will officially herald the 'final stage' of the endtimes prophetic timeline.

A wise woman once said: "Things are happening so quickly that observers of the times can't keep up. It's as though the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn...No previous generation has seen this stunning convergence allowing everything to fall into place." - Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father's home and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there" (JOHN 14:1-4).

"The #1 Reason People Reject God"

Ironically, the more current events follow the precise pattern laid out in the prophetic Scriptures, the less people are inclined to believe it.

In fact, the percentage of  U.S. adults who say they are "absolutely certain" God exists has slipped, according to  Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape Study.

No surprise there--anyone with half a functioning brain cell can see God is no longer at the top of our national priority list.

And for the college student, the downward trend has accelerated even more. Christians are being mocked and ridiculed by a university system that insists science and God are mutually exclusive.

Physicist Frank J. Tipler, an expert in the field of quantum cosmology, begs to differ.

In his book, "The Physics of Christianity", the scientist "demonstrates that the essential beliefs of Christianity are wholly consistent with the laws of physics."

Tipler even illustrates a scientific foundation for the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, and the Incarnation of Christ.

While interesting, scientific proof doesn't always result in saving faith.

Why? Because faith in Christ as Savior is not a head issue-it's a heart problem.

Simple belief in God will not get you into heaven. James 2:19 says: 

"You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror."

Saving faith takes God at His word. The Bible is His Word and it says every one of us is a sinner separated from God.

The Good News? "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried. He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" ( 1CORINTHIANS 15:3-4).

The Gospel is centered on the physical death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God who became human yet never sinned (see Galatians 1:6-10).

Christ died for our sins. He suffered in our place to endure the just wrath of God against us, according to the Scriptures.

What does according to the Scriptures mean? Jesus Christ lived and died in accordance with the prophecies about Him in the Old Testament (see Psalm 16:10, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53:8-10). Thus, authenticating the Bible as God's inspired (read: God breathed) Word.

The Resurrection verifies the fact that Christ's death paid the full price for sin. The Greek term translated "rose" emphasizes the ongoing effects of this historical event.

In other words: Jesus Christ is alive and well today. And according to the Scriptures, He will be coming back again soon.

But only those who really believe this will turn away from their sin and be saved.

A wise man once said: "When a person refuses to come to Christ, it is never just because of a lack of evidence. He refuses to come because he willingly ignores and rejects the drawing of God's Spirit on his heart. No one in the final analysis really fails to become a Christian because of lack of arguments; he fails to become a Christian because he loves darkness rather than light and wants nothing to do with God." -- William Lane Craig, Bible professor

"Jesus spoke to the people and said,' I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life" (JOHN 8:12).

"And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil" (JOHN 3:19).

"Two Simple Secrets That Will Change Your Life"

Want to live a longer, more fulfilling life?

Don't worry, be happy.

That's right gang--being an optimist could lead to a longer, healthier life according to new research. 

"Happiness is good for the body as well as the mind," asserts study author Hayami Koga, Ph.D. candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chah School of Public Health. In fact, Koga believes "staying positive is as good for you as exercise and can add many years to your life."

But these are turbulent times. Every day the world grows darker and more dangerous. For those of us who study Bible prophecy, it has become clear that the "birth pains" as described in the Bible have begun. And as every mother knows, once the pains begin they only get worse until it's over.

How can we be happy and optimistic in times like these?

Well, according to the World Health Organization, most people can't. Depression and anxiety disorders are going through the roof. Globally, more than 300 million  (and climbing) people of all ages suffer from depression and many millions more have anxiety disorder.

Unfortunately, global trends are anything but optimistic...and yet God expects us to be happy. Is it possible given today's circumstances?

Andre Van Belkum of Life, Hope & Truth Ministries thinks so:

"The Creator of our bodies and minds has given us a handbook as an assured, dependable and unfailing source of knowledge. It outlines basic principles and instructions for daily living.

"If applied, these guidelines will lead us into a life guaranteed to produce lasting happiness and contentment. Rejection of these principles will undoubtably produce heartache and unending sorrow. These biblical guidelines are not magical formulas, but practical rules of daily conduct that govern the way to happiness.

"The Bible contains the reason you were created. It contains God's plan for you and what He expects from you. It explains where the world is heading and why-and how God is going to rescue it. It contains the blueprint for living a successful, meaningful life in the present, and inheriting eternity in the future."

And yet, the vast majority of people refuse to read it.

A wise man once said: "The words of God are as timeless and powerful today as the the day they were first recorded." -- Life, Hope & Truth Ministries 

"Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord. Happy are they who keep His unchanging word, searching after Him with all their heart" (PSALM 119:1-2).

"3 Startling Predictions for 2024"

Financial and geopolitical analyst Martin Armstrong, has a knack for predicting the future, or rather, his Socrates computer program does.

Legendary and sought after by world leaders for its uncanny accuracy, Socrates has three startling predictions for 2024:

1. A  GOP win for president

2. Global Civil unrest/chaos

3. An August or September war

Socrates "sees" increasingly difficult economic & international instability and unrest that will reach a tipping point by summer or early fall.

Armstrong believes the global unrest is a byproduct of  economic instability. "Both of these cycles are converging at the same time," he says.

And lastly, Armstrong believes the probability of  a false flag incident which triggers WWIII is unfortunately high.

Britt Gillette of Prophecy News Watch also sees a convergence taking place, a convergence of multiple prophetic signs:

• Israel back in the Land/the Jews back in Jerusalem (Jeremiah 23:7-8, Ezekiel 29:28, Isaiah 11:12, Psalm 103:7).
• Widespread deception (Matthew 24).
• Worldwide unrest/lawlessness (Matthew 24).
• Rise of Gog/Magog Alliance: Russia, Iran, Turkey (Ezekiel 38).
• A united Europe comprised of both weak and strong nations (Daniel 2:42).
• Epidemics/famines/earthquakes (Matthew 24).
• Wars and rumors of war (Matthew 24).

Jan Markell of Olivetree Ministries agrees and goes on to say:

"How can I not reference the raging apostasy, the wolves among the flock, and the doctrine of demons, all thriving in many churches today? This sad state of church affairs may be one of the most significant signs of the times out there...I could list dozens more. We are trending towards the Tribulation, the 'time of Jacob's trouble.' The stage is being set now. The curtain for the last act could rise any day. End-time activity is now at a record level."

One of the last signs according to Britt Gillette? Ironically, it's this:

Scoffers who deny the signs are even happening (see 2 PETER 3:3-4).

A wise man once said: "What is the number one prophetic sign? What sign more than any other points to the soon return of Jesus Christ? While any number of signs are present, I believe one stands out above all others. In fact, Jesus Himself told us what it is. When the disciples said, "Tell us the signs of your coming and the end of the age (MATTHEW 24:3), Jesus detailed a number of things to look for. He then said, "When you see all these things, you can know My return is near. I'm right at the door." (MATTHEW 24:33). He also said, "When all these things begin to happen, look up for your salvation is near!" (LUKE21:28). This means the number one sign of Jesus' return is all the signs appearing together."

  -Britt Gillette

"...when you see the events I've described beginning to happen, you can know His return is very near, right at the door." (MATTHEW 25:33).
