End Times Trending


End Times Trending

Setting the stage for prophetic fulfillment continues at a quickening pace. Progression related to end times matters spread across the eschatological
horizon, making choosing which particular topic to write about somewhat of an exertion-but a not unwelcome exercise.

News of the hour presents some fascinating directions in which to aim our attention. I've chosen three items for consideration
in this commentary.

The first area of possible, even probable prophetic relevance is China's increasingly hegemonic activity. Sino-expansionism is among the most blatant
signals of stage setting for prophetic fulfillment.

Chinese leadership is projecting two-faced influence and manipulation through its new-found power as king of the kings of the east. They are employing
their usual, inscrutable methodologies to convince the world community they are reliable partners with which to do business. On the other hand, the leadership-communists all-are not only building an enormous military capability, but making moves to intimidate
their neighbors through provocative bullying encounters upon the high seas.

This bullying even includes flying military aircraft from the China Sea island bases they are creating in deliberate, near-miss incidents with American
aircraft. China's increasingly powerful navy more and more moves near the point to ramming some of our naval ships in the region. Thus, as the U.S. military challenges China's obvious intention to claim increasingly territorial waters that are not theirs.

The following gives a flavor of China's dangerous activity as of late:

The expansion of China's military is no secret. Beijing raised the People's Liberation Army budget by 7% this year, typical of its annual increases...

On Wednesday, the PLA Navy announced it had finished work on a destroyer warship that can displace 10,000 tons, according to the state-run China Daily
News website. This is a particularly major advance. The extra-hardy, domestically built destroyer not only helps Beijing double down on its disputed claims in the East and South China Seas but also gives it new deterrent weight against its most powerful Asian
rivals such as Japan and India. ***[Source: New Chinese Navy Destroyer Can Best Japan, India And Maybe the United States, Rapture Ready News, July 2, 2017]***

Chinese leader Xi Jinping, despite meetings with American President Donald Trump while smiling, promising to make an effort to corral the North Korean
dictator Kim Jong-un, is presenting his own dictatorial propensities these days. Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned against "impermissible" challenges to Beijing's authority over Hong Kong.

Mr. Xi was speaking at the swearing-in of the territory's new leader Carrie Lam, as Hong Kong marked 20 years since its handover to China from Britain.
In a speech, he said that Hong Kong needed to "improve its systems to uphold national sovereignty, security and development interests."

"Any attempt to endanger China's sovereignty and security, challenge the power of the central government... or use Hong Kong to carry out infiltration
and sabotage activities against the mainland is an act that crosses the red line and is absolutely impermissible," he said.

There is growing concern that the Chinese central government is undermining Hong Kong's more politically liberal traditions, despite its promise to give
it a high degree of autonomy. ***[Source: Xi Jinping warns Hong Kong over sovereignty 'red line' - BBC News]***

Secondly, in the matter of end times trending, we look briefly at the coalescing, Turkey-Iran relationship. It is a most fascinating element of the prophetic,
stage-setting development in these closing days of this dispensation.

It is more than of curious interest to me that the new American president appears to have been, wittingly or unwittingly, again a catalyst for development
of key Biblically prophetic preparation.

Donald Trump's recent visit to Saudi during his Middle East trip, and his more-or-less pledge to come down on the side of the Saudi Kingdom as they face
increasing threats from the likes of Iran, has set in motion a closer tie of two key Gog-Magog partners.

The newly forming closeness between Turkey and Iran is in view as they deal with the controversy over Qatar.

The following excerpt enlightens a bit:

The latest Iranian comments, as well as Turkey's decision to send troops to Qatar amid a dispute with Saudi Arabia represent the creation of a new Qatar-Turkey-Iranian
sphere of influence that has potential to influence the region and Israel. Qatar and Turkey have both had close relations with Hamas over the last decade. The creation of a warmer relationship between Doha, Ankara and Tehran could threaten Israel and could
bring Jerusalem closer to Riyadh and Cairo. ***[Source: Turkey's power-play in Qatar leads to warmer relations with Iran, By Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post]***

Turkey, under the almost overnight dictatorship formed by Tayyip Erdogan, seems headed in the direction of becoming at some point the entity Ezekiel the
Prophet called Torgomah. His regime is embraced, apparently, by the Ayatollahs of Iran (Persia). It is a most interesting development that presents even more interesting possibilities.

The third and last item I would like to look at with you in considering end times trending is the matter of the slap-down it looks as if President Trump
is in process of giving the globalists within his administration. This, if it has legs-as they say-is, in my opinion, key to stage-setting for the days of Noah, days of Lot prophecy by the Lord Jesus. Again, that prophecy is found in Christ's Olivet discourse
in Matthew 24: 36-42 and in Luke 17: 26-30.

In brief, I continue to believe that America-and much of the world-is about to experience not an economic melt-down, but an economic boom, based upon
Jesus' words in that prophecy.

The globalists, I sense, we're feeling as if they about had Mr. Trump pulled over to their sides in the matter of America's trade relations. It looked
very much like the president would put their agenda, rather than America first-continuing to let America's wealth drift out without quid pro quo. Now, because of the president's recent action, the Wall Street types are fearing a global trade war that would
end their grasp on U.S. wealth in particular.

The news excerpt informs.

While one of Trump's recurring campaign promises was that he would "punish" China and other key US trade counterparties if elected, for taking advantage
of free-trade by imposing steep tariffs and duties on foreign imports to "level the playing field," the president's stance changed drastically after the election, U-turning following his amicable meeting with China's President Xi Jinping in March, but mostly
as a result of pressure by his ex-Goldman advisors to keep existing trade arrangements in place and not "rock the boat."

Now, all that may be about to fall apart.

And what may be even more striking is that Trump overruled his cabinet, as "the sentiment in the room was 22 against, and 3 in favor - but since one of
the three is named Donald Trump, it was case closed." Axios adds that while "no decision has been made, the President is leaning towards imposing tariffs, despite opposition from nearly all his Cabinet." ***[Source: Trump "Overrules" Cabinet, Prepares To Unleash
Global Trade War, Zero Hedge]***

Needless to say, if Trump follows through, the outcome would have a profound effect on U.S. economic and foreign policy; Trump will formalize his decision
in the coming days.



Donald J. Trump might just be president at this moment for the end times buying, selling, building, etc., prophesied by the Lord Himself. It is at just such
a time Jesus tells us the following: "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." (Lk 17: 28-30)
