The Bible Can We Understand The Trajectory Of World Events

 Only Through the Lens of The Bible Can We Understand The Trajectory Of World Events – By Nathan Jones - https://harbingersdaily.com/only-through-the-lens-of-the-bible-can-we-understand-the-trajectory-of-world-events/ You’ve likely heard the idiom, “Hindsight is 20/20.” The phrase stems from the concept of perfect vision, referring to the visual acuity measured at 20 feet. Concerning the context of this idiom, it doesn’t relate to physical sight, but rather to the clarity, perception, or understanding of past events. It’s easier to analyze and evaluate situationswhen looking back at them with the benefit of knowing what has happened, as opposed to predicting or understanding things in the present moment. As you know, we often understand situations better and more clearly after they’ve happened, rather than beforeor while they are happening. Now that we are more than halfway through 2024, I wonder if any of the prophecies other Bible prophecy teachers were predicting, purely through the lens of the Bible of course, back in late2023, have come true or are increasingly coming true. When it comes to the interpretation of Bible prophecy, is hindsight indeed 20/20? The following Bible prophecy teachers were warning us to look out for these particular end times signs. The World Against the Jews Olivier Melnick — There’s been a dramatic rise in Antisemitism since Hamas’ invasion of Israel onOctober 7, 2023. Not only was Israel hit severely by Hamas (and they behaved like animals, we all understand that), but the whole world turned a corner as a result. You see a lot more Antisemitism being expressed in America and around the world, and the boldnessin which these people are expressing their Antisemitism has been quite shocking. There’s always been Antisemitism, but it was under the carpet; few were talking about it. A little bit here, a little bit there. But now, people are out marching in the streets.They are actually proud of their Antisemitism! In Jeremiah 31:35-37, God gave a recipe to anybody who wants to completely get rid of the Jews. He says that if you can measure the sky, sun, and moon, and count all the stars, then He willforsake Israel. It’s God’s tongue-in-cheek way of saying it’s not going to happen. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some casualties in war, but God is never going to forsake Israel. People need to watch what’s happening in the Middle East—in Israel—becausethe prophetic time clock is ticking. I believe it was Jan Markell who said, “The world is not falling into pieces, rather, it is falling into place.” A lot of people that I’ve talked to in our circles, all agree on one thing—theevents that we’re seeing in front of us are happening faster and the exponential curve is going way up. A lot of end times events are suddenly falling into place. Bear in mind, I don’t think we’ve entered the Tribulation just yet. But, I think that people are starting to see prophetic events falling into place. I’m hoping this convergence is going toattract them to the Bible, and the Bible might lead them to the Lord. For those who don’t have any knowledge of God or don’t believe in Jesus, when they start to compare all these events falling into place in the Middle East and around the world, with thecoming one-world government and a cashless society, they begin to think, “Wow! I’ve been told about this in the Bible. Maybe I should pay attention?” That’s my prayer. Apostasy in the Church Don Perkins — A lot of pastors are being forced to deal with end time prophecy because of propheticevents transpiring all over the world. A lot of pastors have neither a burden nor a desire to study prophecy. But guess what? Prophecy is coming to them regardless because they have sheep who want answers to their questions. People want to know what’s goingon. It seems like the world is falling apart, and they want to know why. People need God’s peace. The book of Isaiah says that wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of our times. In other words, having God’s wisdom and knowledge about the times we are livingin will give you stability. When people don’t understand where we are on God’s prophetic timeline, they go into panic mode. They are fearful because they don’t understand what’s going on. I sleep well every night because I know a sovereign God is in control. Churches are being tempted to fall into apostasy like never before. We’re seeing a lot of that today. People are turning away from the faith. We are suffering from scriptural illiteracy inour churches. I’m praying that more pastors would get back into the Word of God. And don’t turn to Artificial Intelligence! Some pastors are now allowing AI to write their messages. It’s so dangerous to move away from the inspired Word. Use AI to write your Gospel messageand you will get an artificial Gospel. The sheep will not be getting the inspired Word. Apostasy and scriptural illiteracy—my heart’s really concerned about these two things. Rise of the One-World Government J.B. Hixson — I’ve studied for 20 years in-depth the rise of the one-world system—Satan’s attemptto take over this world. I believe we’re seeing a coalescence of several Antichrist system events taking shape all at once. Right now we’re in an election year. The U.S. economy is worse than ever. I mean, it’s beenon life support for decades, but now it’s really bad. The whole Trump drama with all those trials. The war in Israel has been heating up in the north. So much is going on right now. I’ve talked to a lot of Bible prophecy experts, and none of them think life’s going to simmer down. What’s going on will continue to move right into the end times wars. The biggest sign related to the rise of the one-world government that’s changing daily is artificial intelligence and the role of technology in Satan’s attempt to take over the world. That’ssomething to watch. The folks on the inside of Big Tech, they’re concerned about something, they really are. They can’t quite put their finger on it, but they feel like we’re rapidly approaching artificial general intelligence or even artificial superintelligence.When that happens, the genie’s out of the bottle, so to speak. A lot of what’s talked about in the book of Revelation that will happen during the Tribulation period, well the technological foundations are being laid today. It won’t be long before governmentsare going to be able to see everybody, control everybody, track our movements, as well as regulate our buying and selling. So, technology is going to become a big factor in prophetic events. This means, more than ever before, believers need to be ready, to stay in the Word of God, and to look at everything that’s happening through the lens of Scripture, and so be prepared. Growing Fearfulness Mondo Gonzales — I have a lot of family and friends who are not saved, and with the war in Israeland growing Antisemitism, even they are asking, “Is this Armageddon? Is this the end?” We know from Scripture that there’s going to be continuing trouble all the way to the end. I don’t expect there to be peace on earth until the Prince of Peace returns. People over the past few years have not forgotten what happened with COVID-19 and all the tyranny and our liberties being taken. So what we’re seeing now with the Chinese pneumonia and otherdisease scares, we know we’re being spoon-fed fear. Christians need to make sure that we continue to teach biblical discernment. Jesus warned us, “Let no one deceive you.” Deception will rise significantly with AI and quantum computing. Wewill soon be able to fake anything. You can have anybody say anything soon. With this technology, discernment’s going to be out the window. So, we’re going to have to stay close to the Word of God. I was a pastor during COVID-19 and saw the people in our churches become fearful based on external circumstances. I was like, “Hey, guys, this is where the rubber meets the road as it relatesto our faith!” Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Do we really believe that? I think we believe it, but we are living in the days when we have to implement it. Rest in the Lord and in the truth of Scripture. The Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38-39 Lee Brainard — We are seeing the world growing darker and darker all around us. Threatening cloudsare gathering which will result in an awful storm. But, for the believer with the eye of faith, every dark cloud has a silver lining. The silver lining here is the prophetic mileposts that tell us the coming of our Lord Jesus is getting nearer. But first, we’re going to have to live through some ugliness. A hegemony is growing among Russia, Turkey, and Iran. These nations are trying not only to dominate the Middle East and Europe,but they’re trying to bully China into joining them. They want to force America out of their way. This is going to come to a head when they try to invade Israel. Ezekiel 38-39 tells us that God is going to demonstrate to the entire world that He is the onecalling the shots—not Russia, not China, and not America. Review Wars and rumors of wars, social upheavals, false teachers and teachings, the church in apostasy, signs of Israel, signs of nature, signs of technology, a convergence of all the end time signs—clearly,hindsight is indeed 20/20. These signs are all increasing in frequency and intensity, just as Jesus foretold. Knowing this, are you ready for the Lord’s return? You can only become ready by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and so be saved. May today be the day of your salvation!
