Discerning This Dispensation's Disposition - Terry James -
Last week on Jan Markell's program, Understanding the Times, aired on 850 radio stations across America, Jan interviewed yours truly on our new book, Discerners: Analyzing Converging Prophetic Signs for the End Of Days.
Thanks to her (in my view, gifted) interview talent, and thanks to the precarious disposition of this generation, the conversation was (again, in my view) Heaven-directed. This program pointed to the crucial position the current generation occupies with regard to Heaven's view of things discussed during that hour. We looked with exceedingly sharp focus on exactly why this generation must be so near the moment of Christ's interdiction into the corrupt affairs of mankind.
All of that said, Jan would be quick to agree, I think, that neither she nor I should get glory for truth brought out during the interview. Our back and forth, I sensed, flowed from Holy Spirit influence. Near the end of the broadcast, she asked what I thought was the primary thing to look for as the hours, days, months, and years move swiftly toward that divine intervention.
With the many chapters written by some of the best writers of our times having just been briefly dissected during the hour, the term "convergence" came to mind, of course. This term is in the subtitle of the book. Each writer-it was profoundly obvious as I went through the book in my job as general editor-zeroes in on every assigned prophetic signal of where this generation stands on God's prophetic timeline.
Dr. Larry Spargimino writes unerringly on the many characteristics of rebellious mankind found in 2 Timothy 3. Jeff Kinley outlines, with stark examples, the dark delusion that is descending upon humanity. Second Thessalonians 2 is manifesting during this generation.
Don McGee presents an eye-opening case for the social and cultural decay corrupting this generation. He brings forth evidence that evil men and seducers are becoming more prevalent, turning people away from God. Nathan Jones thoroughly deals with the Daniel 12:4 developments in technology and travel. He expertly lays out issues and events now fulfilling Daniel's prophecy that the book of end-time things will be opened to people alive at the end of the age.
Daymond Duck, one of the most highly sought-after speakers at prophecy conferences, brings forward a tremendous chapter giving the issues and events that are showing Satan's preparation to bring to power his Antichrist. Duck goes through the many aspects of the globalists' methodologies and organizational machinations to establish the man of sin's dictatorial regime.
Dr. Tom Hughes examines the many signals that the false religious system of Revelation 17 is in the process of developing. He presents, in vivid detail, the evil that is fomented against biblical Christianity, such as the pope claiming that even atheists will be in Heaven. Pete Garcia analyzes what the seventieth-year of Israel's rebirth into modernity means. He explains how and why things surrounding that rebirth portend the nearness of Christ's return.
Phillip Goodman and Grant Phillips, in each of their chapters, weave a tapestry of what a Christian's comportment should be like as we see that day approaching. Discernment, as believers bear witness for Christ, has never been more critical. Gary Stearman gives a cutting-edge portrayal of what the satanic drive toward socialism and the globalist rage are all about. This rebellion means that judgment hangs heavily above a rebellious creation.
Ryan Pitterson brings great enlightenment to the mix of how crucial discernment is in understanding these strange times. He raises awareness of how much like the days of Noah and the days of Lot the world is now, writing in dynamic fashion about the days of Genesis 6 as juxtaposed against our own time. The violence and anti-God comportment of mankind have brought about the "reprobate mind" forewarned by the Apostle Paul (Romans 1:28).
Jan, herself, undertakes a powerful exploration of why there is such hatred for Christianity and for the pre-Trib Rapture in particular. Second Peter 3:3-4 prove just how things are shaping up for the last of the last days. Tim Cameron paints a terrifying picture of what the post-Rapture will be like for those left behind, yet he presents the biblical prescription for how to avoid that fate.
Dr. David Reagan puts together a devastating case against those who expound on the lie that God is a "cosmic teddy bear" who would never let anyone go to a fictional place called Hell. At the same time, he writes truth about God's righteous judgment and wrath and presents the blessed assurance that the Creator isn't willing for anyone to perish, but wants all to repent and be saved.
So, the word "convergence" encapsulates the many end-time indicators of where this generation stands on God's prophetic timeline. Certainly, these writers deal thoroughly with each of these major signals.
But to answer Jan Markell's question-or, "to fulfill my assignment" might be a better way to put it-I needed to look deeper into the premise. Remember, her question basically asked what I thought was the primary thing to look for as we move swiftly toward Christ's Second Coming and, before that great event, the Rapture of the Church).
I answered during the broadcast, and my answer hasn't changed. It can't change, because it is indeed the number-one signal of where we are on God's prophetic timeline.
Again I go to two of the tremendously talented writers and observers of this time. Bill Salus explores in-depth geopolitical developments to Israel's north. He gives in considerable detail current issues and events that bring to life Ezekiel's prediction of the Gog-Magog attack on Israel. I speak specifically of the Russian-Iranian-Turkish coalition that has now formed and is greedily eyeing Israel to the south.
Jim Fletcher, one of the most astute researchers, columnists/reporters, and speakers on matters involving God's chosen nation, delivers a stunning chapter on the developing hatred for the Jew and for Israel. He lays out in excruciating detail how even the evangelical church has within its ranks a growing contingent of those devoted to the destruction of that prophetic nation.
So, to answer Jan's question-which gets right to the heart of being a discerner-I have no surprise response. Israel is the one most profound sign to observe in these closing days of the age. The true discerner will particularly need to watch the ongoing drive to establish peace in that conflict surrounding God's chosen nation. There will be no true peace until Christ, Himself, makes that peace. He is the one and only Prince of Peace!
