"Converging Signs Are Intensifying"

Long time prophecy teacher, Hal Lindsey has a point when he observes: 

"Critics of end-time Bible prophecy often say exactly what the Bible said they will say."

For instance, in 2 Peter 3:3-4, it says, 

"First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. This will be their argument, 'Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He? Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created."

Even now, when major end-time prophecies can be easily proven (Example? The Bible predicted the nation of Israel would be scattered throughout the world and cease to exist for many years and be re-gathered again in the end-times. In 70 A.D. they were scattered. Israel became Palestine. In 1948, Israel was re-established and became a nation again after 2,000 years of nonesistence). Lindsey contends the scoffers are still at it:

"Wars and rumors of war? Nothing new there, they say. Famines? They were worse in the past. Plagues and pandemics? We had a bad one for a couple of years, but the world has had worse. Lawlessness? Humanity has always had its crooks and creeps. Deception? People started lying right after they started talking. So, what's new? What's different?"

What's new and different is the fact that all the signs are here everywhere all at once. The entire world is facing the same existential threat. And,of course, Israel is back in the land.

According to Lindsey:

"Before each of the first two world wars, everyone saw the terrible possibilities. But almost no one really thought it would happen. They thought cooler heads would prevail. But cool heads did not prevail. Pride prevailed. Greed prevailed. Hate prevailed.

"It's happening again, but this time with the added threat of nuclear weapons. As before, no one believes it will really happen. But the signs are there. War threatens every part of the earth..."

And as the Bible predicted, geopolitical alliances are forming before our very eyes along with:

• global deception
• lawlessness
• epidemics
• famines
• earthquakes in various places

How much longer can the scoffers scoff ?

A wise man once said: "What's unique about today is that the hundreds of biblical end-times signs are converging and intensifying...accompanied by a rise of technology perfectly fitted to Antichrist and the mark of the beast. The signs are all coming together right now. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Take care of your business, but do not let the cares of this world distract you from Him. Look up. Maranatha! Jesus is coming soon!" -- Hal Lindsey, author

"See I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to repay all according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (REVELATION 22:12-13).

"Endtimes? How We Know 4 Sure"

Why is it so difficult to pinpoint exactly where we are on God's Timeline?

Because the signs He gave us to watch for (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21) were not clearly defined.

The disciples asked Jesus what will be the sign of His coming and of the end of the age? He answered by telling them to watch out for:

1. deception
2. wars/rumors of wars
3. famines
4. pestilences
5. earthquakes

That would be fine and dandy if those things had never happened before, but let's face it, there have always been:

1. deception
2. wars/rumors of wars
3. famines
4. pestilences
5. earthquakes

So what's different now?

Israel, of course.

The signs mentioned above were meaningless until the Jews were back in the land. It's important to remember that for almost 2000 years, Israel did not exist, and yet hundreds of prophecies regarding the end of the age refer to Israel, Jerusalem and the Temple. If Israel didn't exist, we couldn't possibly be near the end of the age.

Jesus said those signs were only the beginning. They would increase in both frequency and intensity--just like labor pains in a pregnant woman. But in Luke 21: 28 He says, "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." In other words, the believer won't be here to see the hard labor, though it's probable we'll see the beginning of the birth pains. Jesus put it this way: "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When it's branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, buy My words will by no means pass away." (Matthew 24:32)

B ready 4 anything!

A wise man once said: "Sometime in the future there will be a seven-year period climaxed by the visible return of Jesus Christ. Without the re-birth of Israel on May 14, 1948, this seven-year period couldn't begin." -- Hal Lindsey, author
