 Globalism, Lawlessness, Apostasy: The World Is Ready, But Is the Church? – By Amir Tsarfati - https://harbingersdaily.com/globalism-lawlessness-apostasy-the-world-is-ready-but-is-the-church/ The world is ready. We know that. The push for globalism, the new trick, which, by the way, even the Pope is taking a very big part in, is now global warming. It’s climatechange. They say that climate change is now the biggest thing. And the Pope, by the way, said that for the sake of climate change, a global government is required. Ladies and gentlemen, they tried everything and the last push is now underway. The world isready. Europe is ready. Israel is back in the land. The word has been preached all over the world. The spirit of the anti-Christ, apostasies all over. Lawlessness is everywhere. Everything is ready. The question is are you ready? We live in a time of unprecedented prophetic fulfillment. When Jesus came the first time, numerous (some say 300) prophecies about His coming were fulfilled. All of them pertainedto the Jews and Jesus. However, now we live in a time when prophecy is being fulfilled about Israel, the church, false Christs, failing human character, wars and rumors of wars, ethnic tensions, famine, pestilence, geological and atmospheric anomalies, coalitionsof forces which will invade Israel, and a host of other things. You would think everyone would be living with the expectation of the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Yet, Jesus Himself said of the days in which we live: Matthew 24:44 KJV – “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” You would think that with all we are seeing, with all that is clearly prophetic, and with the precursors of things that will be fulfilled in the Tribulation, that the churchwould be abuzz with excitement and a sense of urgency for people to come to Christ. Yet, according to those who gather such statistics, of the 2.42 billion people who bear the label Christian today, only 6.6% believe in the rapture of the church. As sad as this is to realize, it, too, is prophetic in two ways. First, Jesus is coming at a time when expectation of His return to gather the church to Himself is low. Second,it fulfills what Jesus said things would be like right before the Tribulation: Matthew 24:36-39 KJV – “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming ofthe Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the comingof the Son of man be.” Remember, Genesis 2:5 says there was no rain on the earth. Then, at the time of the flood, Genesis 7:4 says God “caused it to rain.” We also know that Noah and family builtthe ark for over 100 years. So Noah was building a boat on dry land on a planet where it had never rained, and 2 Peter 2:5 says Noah was a preacher of righteousness. That tells us while he built, he preached. Yet, when the the time of global judgment came,the people of the earth did not expect it. In our day the Bible has told us that there is a coming global empire headed by the Antichrist. The Bible has prophesied that mankind would be lovers of self and haters ofGod. The Bible has foretold that in the church fables would be preferred over sound doctrine and that Israel would be invaded by Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, and Sudan. Currently, three of these countries have a military presence on Israel’s northern border. Yet the expectation of the coming of the Lord to gather His church to meet Him in the air with the dead in Christ is very low, and for many it is not expected at all. Romans 1:24-25 KJV – “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed thetruth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” The word “creature” can be translated as “creation”. Are people worshipping “creation” today? There are those today who think we should use any means possible to lower thepopulation of the earth for the sake of the planet. They fabricate things about climate change and don’t mention that the climate has always changed and that historically it has been much warmer in the past than it is now. Yet, when the temperatures were higherthe sea levels didn’t rise and kill millions of people or animals. Genesis 8:22 KJV – “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” God said things will continue as He created them as long as the earth remains. It is a sad reality that very few churches today are teaching their people about Bible prophecy, leaving them without the hope and comfort of knowing the Lord is coming totake us in a moment and twinkling of an eye to the Father’s house to forever be with Him. They are also living without the awareness that the things happening in the world today tell us that it is likely Jesus is coming for us soon. What a shame so many live as proof of the words of Jesus, when He said that He is coming at an hour when He is not even expected. Are you among the ready who can say with confidence and expectation: Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus
