What time is it?

Many people are curious about the end times. Not just believers, but secular people too. Look at Hollywood in the past ten years or so. There are many movies that have been made with an end times bent. Do any of the movies hold true to scripture? Not really, but having studied Revelation, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Daniel, the Gospel, certain parts of certain movies get really close. Which is why if I

happen to watch a movie that is close to what scripture says will happen, my heart aches, and skips a beat.

I am not afraid to share my opinions on things. Especially scripture. Once upon a time it was politics, but scripture...that took over, as it should have. With what I have studied the past few years, I have a responsibility to share God's word, and what is to come.Sometimes I think I scare other believers with my opinions. With my beliefs.

I am not a date setter, I want to make that clear. But I strongly, even passionately, believe we (the world, society...humanity) are in the last seconds of the Church Age. That literally any minute the trumpet will sound, and:

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonian 4:16-18

I have read scripture, I have seen the prophecy's and I have seen world history. And I am waiting. I am living life thankful for everyday, doing my best to live for Christ, to share His message, to be a fragrance in the world:

2 Corinthians 2:15  (NASB)

15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;

Everyday I have on earth, means that Jesus has not called His Bride home. But I do believe that it will happen soon. That God will not wait any longer, that He will finally have enough and pour out His wrath on a world, but first will remove those who have endured to the end.

Here are somethings I want you to consider, if you think I have lost my mind about my beliefs.

The Bible tells us many things about what will precede the return of Jesus Christ:

1. It will be a time when knowledge and transportation have greatly increased (Daniel 12:4)

2. Wickedness will be rampant as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-38)

3. Homosexuality will be rampant (Luke 17:28-29)

4. Adultery, material greed, and the killing of innocent life will be commonplace (Revelation 17-18)

5. The Gospel will have been preached to all nations (Matthew 24:14)

6. Many false religious leaders and false prophets will have arisen (Matthew 24:23-25)

7. Earthquakes, disease, and famine would be widespread (Luke 21:11)

8. There will be many wars and rumors of war (Mark 13:7)

9. There will be a Jewish holocaust (Ezekiel 37:1-14)

10. Followed by Israel's return as a nation (Ezekiel 37:11-12)

11. Israel's pure language, Hebrew, will return to the land (Zephaniah 3:9)

12. The Ethiopian Jews will return to Israel (Zephaniah 3:10-11)

13. The Russian and European Jews will return to Israel (Jeremiah 23:7-8)

14. The Roman Empire will be revived, but will only be a confederacy (Daniel 2:40-43)

15. Many believers will fall away (1 Timothy 4:1-3)

16. And perhaps the most shocking prophecy can be found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7:

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.  For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

These prophecies have already been fulfilled—just in this past century, in fact.  Many just in the last few decades.  The Bible's apocalyptic prophecies are being fulfilled right now, for the first time in history.  It is actually happening.  Open your eyes while there is still time.  

From Unsealed.com:
What is to come:
The world is in a very real way falling apart. The day is upon us when the world will look like this:

• Millions have disappeared creating disaster, chaos, heart break and confusion.
• Some say Christ came and took His followers, although their voices are being drowned out by those who say otherwise.
• Millions of churchgoers who have been left, say it must have been something else.
• Cultists, spiritualists and the self-righteous will proclaim "anything but God," but they will be anything but right.
• Many will believe a deception of one flavor or another.  Perhaps the CERN particle accelerator opened a wormhole in the time-space continuum.   Still others will say it was aliens.
• When the Church is taken up, Satan and his demonic fallen angels will be cast down to the earth, with power, beauty and answers.  We suppose they will masquerade as aliens with answers.  Aliens they are, but aliens cast out of heaven and not from Krypton.  Their objective is to wreak havoc, before they are sentenced to hell and take as many with them as they can.  
• Everyone wants a cute-little-friendly-helpful-E.T.-phone-home-Close-Encounters alien friend.  That's not what they'll find.  Even Stephen Hawking was wary of contact with aliens.
• I speculate many will say these "aliens" have come to solve the world's problems and for a time it will seem as though they have.
• In the midst of the racial, moral, political, poverty and homelessness tensions, and amid anarchy, war, death, rape, murder, economic and ecological collapse, violence, and polarization, their ideas will seem the right way to go.
• Others will be out front.  Perhaps some of the following: Macron, Pope Francis, Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, etc, but they are not men to follow in days like this.  Love them or hate them is not the point.  God commanded mankind to spread out, fill the earth, and trust in Him and not in mankind's collective ability, but humanity still pursues the Tower of Babel—The E.U., the U.N., and towers reaching to the sky all continue to go up as a declaration of our own collective independence from the only One with any real answers.
• Words like volcano, earthquake, radiation, tsunami, hail and meteor will take on meaning like never before, as God steadily increases the pressure.  He loves you and will pay any price for you to wake up and repent, even if many unrepentant, dead men walking must suffer and perish to give you an opportunity (God is sovereign over everyone).

Friends, if you have not put your faith in Christ, please do not wait. When the church is "raptured," that is taken to heaven to be with Christ, you do not want to be left on earth. I have shared what will happen in the time after that great disappearance. It will not be an easy time, it will be a horrible, desolate, destructive time. There will be pain, hurt, suffering, and punishment unlike any other. 

Remember, today is the day of SALVATION:

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NASB)

for He says,

Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
