“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” – Revelation 22:20
The globalist agenda is, by its own admission, godless. According to many Christians’ reading of the Bible, the rise of a one-world global government is an End Times sign that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is very near.
If so, we are living in the Last Days.
If you have the Holy Spirit and have walked with Jesus, you can see it in the world and sense it in your soul. Younger believers may not fully understand how dark our world has become because it was the world they were born into. However, if you ask any older saint who has been walking with the Lord for many decades, they will tell you that what is celebrated in the world and tolerated in the Church is so obviously dark, diabolical, and demonic that they are shocked and appalled.
Older saints could have never fathomed such things as the denial of binary gender categories and ensuing craziness that includes boys in girls’ locker rooms after competing in female sports, genital mutilation of children in the name of “care,” sexualization of minors, hatred of the Bible, eroding of freedom due to the encroaching of government in seemingly every corner of culture, open socialistic support, legalization of hard drugs, dishonor of marriage, and celebration of abortion and political candidates running on these issues as virtues.
Even non-Christians can sense that we are living in the End Times of the Last Days. A recent Pew Research Center survey says,
In the United States, 39% of adults say they believe “we are living in the end Times”…Christians are divided on this question, with 47% saying we are living in the end times, including majorities in the historically Black (76%) and evangelical (63%) Protestant traditions. Viewed more broadly, the share of Protestants who say we are living in the end times is greater than the corresponding share among Catholics (55% vs. 27%)…The survey also explored Americans’ views about a core tenet of Christianity: the belief that Jesus will eventually return to Earth, in what is often called the “second coming.” When asked if Jesus “will return to Earth someday,” more than half of all U.S. adults (55%), including three-quarters of Christians, say this will happen. Protestants in the evangelical (92%) and historically Black (86%) traditions are more likely than other Christians to say there will eventually be a second coming of Jesus. Respondents who said they believe Jesus will return to Earth were also asked how certain they are that this will happen during their lifetime. One-in-ten Americans say they believe the second coming of Jesus will definitely or probably occur during their lifetime, 27% are not sure if Jesus will return in their lifetime… (1)
In the Bible, the End Times, or “Last Days” (John 6:39-40) are also referred to as the “last time” (1 Peter 1:5), and “last hour.” (1 John 2:18) The “Last Days” refers to the period of time between Jesus’ First Coming to save sinners and His Second Coming to join Heaven and Earth into the eternal Kingdom of God, with people sentenced to Heaven and Hell forever. The Bible refers to Jesus’ Second Coming, which brings the “Last Days” to a close and ushers in the resurrection of the dead and eternal state as the “Day of the Lord” or simply “the Day.” (see, e.g., Isaiah 2:12–22; Ezekiel 13:5) Thus far, the “Last Days” have been roughly two thousand years. We are living in the time between the times, in the middle of history. Looking back, we can see God’s prophecies regarding the First Coming of our Lord having been fulfilled, and we can look forward to God fulfilling the remaining prophecies about the Second and Final Coming of our Lord.
The only hope for everyone and everything is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ at the final moment in history when the anti-Christ man of lawlessness rises up to rule the two kingdoms – both Church and state. How incredible is this scene! The most powerful person ruled by Satan in the history of the earth is brought to nothing by one single breath from the mouth of our God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ!
Come back tomorrow where we discuss the demonic spirit of Babylon.
What are you most looking forward to when Jesus returns to rule and reign over everything and everyone?
