"Are We Living In The End Times?"

It doesn't' take a rocket scientist to recognize our world is in big trouble. Sometimes, the sheer magnitude of the trajectory we're on is overwhelming.

Why? Because it's becoming more and more clear to us that there will be no turning back. The world has fundamentally changed.

According to Got Questions.org:

"The Bible prophesies of many events that will occur in the end times. These events can be categorized as natural signs, spiritual signs, sociological signs, technological signs, and political signs. We can look to what the Bible says about these things, and if the signs are present in abundance, we can be certain that we are, in fact, living in the end times."

We interpret the Bible literally. We believe God's Word is divinely inspired and that every word of it is true. Therefore, we believe the Bible can be trusted to accurately foretell coming end-time events. 

For instance, the Bible predicts the end times will be characterized by:

• Deception--when evil will be called good and good will be called evil. When truth will be hard to find and the masses will believe in lies. (see Isaiah 5:20;   2 Timothy 3:13).
• Lawlessness--when even the governing authorities refuse to obey the law. (Matthew 24:12; 1 John 2:18).
• Heresy--when people will stop believing in the God of the Bible and put their faith in the "doctrine of demons", reincarnation, and occultism. (1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:1-17).
• Natural disasters--when earthquakes, drought, wildfires, floods and even pandemics come like "birth pangs" upon the earth.

Other signs include increased hostility toward Israel, a world in turmoil (especially the Middle East), a worldwide leadership vacuum, increasing globalism and a move toward a cashless digital currency. 

But the single most definitive sign proving that we are living in the end times is the restoration of Israel to her land in 1948 (Ez.37). Without that fulfilled prophecy, all the other signs are rendered meaningless.

Got Questions.org contends that "these are just a few of the signs. There are many more. God gave us these prophecies because He doesn't want anyone to perish, and He always gives ample warning before pouring out His Wrath" (see 2 Peter 3:9).

So, are we living in the end times? Every warning sign is flashing "Yes". But these are all Tribulation signs. Before the Tribulation comes the rapture of the Church and there are no signs for that. When a nation pulls its ambassador out, it's a sign war is coming. When God pulls His ambassadors out (in the Rapture of the Church), it's a sign judgment is coming. You don't want to see that sign.

A wise man once said: "The good news is that it's not too late to choose eternal life." -- Got Questions.org

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's Wrath remains on them (JOHN 3:36).

"Did The Pope Deny Jesus Is God?"

Here we go again. Atheist Italian journalist, Eugenio Scalfari made headlines once more.

Can't place the name? He's the guy who's made a career out of "misquoting" his long-time friend, Pope Francis.

That's right gang--despite repeated claims from The Vatican press office that Scalfari's reports are unreliable, Pope Francis continues to grant him interviews.

According to the Catholic Church News:

In La Repubblica newspaper on Wednesday, Scalfari wrote: "Those who had the chance, as I have had different times, to meet him (Pope Francis) and speak to him with the greatest cultural confidence, know that Pope Francis conceives Christ as Jesus of Nazareth, a man, not God incarnate. Once incarnated, Jesus ceases to be a God and becomes a man until his death on the cross."

According to Scalfari, "When I happened to discuss these phrases, Pope Francis told me: "They are the definite proof that Jesus of Nazareth, once he became a man, even if he was a man of exceptional virtue, was not God at all."

As usual, the Holy See Press Office denies the allegations: "As already stated on other occasions, the words that Dr. Eugenio Scalfari attributes in quotation marks to the Holy Father during conversations with him cannot be considered as a faithful account of what has actually been said, but rather represent a personal and free interpretation of what he has heard, as is quite evident from what has been written today about the divinity of Jesus Christ."

Wait...what? Is that suppose to be a denial? Why doesn't the Pope come right out and say he believes Jesus is God and that Scalfari got it all wrong--again! (You may recall back in March 2018 Scalfari claimed the Pope told him that hell does not exist, contrary to Scripture and the Roman Catholic Church).

But no, instead Scalfari, a self-declared atheist and one-time fascist, is rewarded again and again with interviews and private audiences.

Meanwhile, Scalfari supports both abortion and euthanasia. Hmmm...can't help wondering if he supports the Pope.

A wise man once said: "Why on earth does Pope Francis still trust Eugenio Scalfari? He should disown not only the precise verbiage Scalfari reported in his piece, but the ideas foisted upon him therein--at least the ones that are manifestly heretical. The longer he does not the stronger the case becomes for believing he cannot."-- Christopher Altieri, Catholic Herald

"Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer"  --Proverbs 13:20.
