In Romans 8:18-25, the Apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some of my thoughts on these verses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the point: Many of us are rightly concerned because things appear to be falling apart on Earth (society is becoming more immoral, dishonest, dissatisfied, dangerous; wars, natural disasters, and antisemitism are increasing; we have lost loved ones and are getting older; globalists are working to bring in a New World Order under a leader called the Antichrist in the Bible, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But God is in control, and we are not without hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will replace the globalist New World Order under the Antichrist with a New World Order under the Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the groaning and travailing will be temporarily wiped out by the Millennial Reign (New World Order) of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New World Order under the Antichrist will last 7 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New World Order under the Christ will last 1,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, after God deals with all the unsaved at the Great White Throne judgment, there will be a new heaven and a new earth (God\u2019s great reset).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is my reminder that Satan tries to copy God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some reasons to believe history is close to the end of the age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One<\/strong>, concerning Israel expanding her borders at the end of the age: on July 17, 2024, UN Sec. Guterres said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My opinion: Israel is expanding her borders now, and many world leaders are against it. They will divide Israel in the near future, but at the Second Coming of Jesus, Israel will wind up with a lot more territory than they have now.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two<\/strong>, concerning the two-state solution: on July 17, 2024, Israel passed a resolution that says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel has clearly notified the world that it opposes the two-state solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One Knesset member said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three<\/strong>, concerning the two-state solution and people declaring peace and safety when the covenant that begins the Tribulation Period is confirmed by the Antichrist: on July 17, 2024, the UK\u2019s King Charles put on a crown, sat on his throne, and told the UK Parliament:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My opinion: The three articles above are about things that were said on the same day at the UN, in Israel, and in the UK, and all of them relate to end of the age Bible prophecy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four<\/strong>, concerning a covenant of peace with many in the Middle East: on July 15, 2024, Pres. Biden said he received a call from the Saudis, and they are willing to fully recognize the existence of Israel in exchange for U.S. weapons that would allow them to defend themselves if other Arab nations or Iran attacks them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five<\/strong>, concerning the return of Jews to the Promised Land at the end of the age (see Ezek. 36:24): rising antisemitism in France is causing Jews to feel unsafe there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On July 15, 2024, a committee in the Israeli Knesset met to discuss emergency measures to allow thousands of French Jews to immigrate to Israel immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A decision is pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (More: On July 24, 2024, terrorists in France threatened to kill Israeli athletes that arrive in France to compete in the Olympics.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My opinion: Many Jews are preparing to relocate to the Promised Land as unbelievers because they fear for their lives or the lives of their children. But after they get re-established, many will get saved; see Ezek. 36:25-38.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six<\/strong>, concerning antisemitism, Jerusalem being a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone at the end of the age, the division of Jerusalem and Israel, and corruption in the UN (United Nothing): on July 19, 2024, the International Court of Justice (also called the ICJ and World Court) issued a decision that is advisory and non-binding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is some of what was in those 83 pages of garbage (my opinion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is Prime Min. Netanyahu\u2019s response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is what one legal expert said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My question: Should authority be given to corrupt organizations and individuals \u2013 UN, WHO, WEF, Islamic terrorists, etc. \u2013 who refuse to recognize the right of a nation or certain people to exist? It is coming, and it is called the New World Order?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven<\/strong>, concerning all nations, including the U.S., turning against Israel at the end of the age and the decline of America: in response to reports that the Biden administration is threatening to impose sanctions on some Israeli officials for approving the construction of 5,000 housing units on the West Bank, on July 20, 2024,<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.S. will not get away with dividing the land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (More: On July 22, 2024, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu arrived in Washington, DC to meet with Biden and speak to both houses of Congress. Neither Biden nor Harris was there to meet him when he got off his plane, and he did not receive a diplomatic welcome as an ally of the U.S. Biden\u2019s staff blamed Biden\u2019s absence on Covid, but Harris could have been there, and they could have still given Netanyahu a diplomatic welcome.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eight<\/strong>, concerning the decline of America: several days ago, the Republicans were holding their National Convention, and Rev. Franklin Graham was asked to pray on the closing night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graham prayed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Note: I am not encouraging people to favor one party over another, but I honestly believe the ideology of the candidates should impact our vote.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nine<\/strong>, concerning the attempted assassination of Trump: Ken Ham, head of the Creation Museum, said that when these kinds of events occur, we must properly apply biblical principles so we can be as the sons of Issachar, \u201cmen who had understanding of the times, to know what [we] ought to do\u201d (1 Chron. 12:32).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ten<\/strong>, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog (Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc. attacking Israel in the latter days and latter years): on July 21, 2024, it was reported that Israel arrested several members of a terrorist group in Israel that were acting under Hamas leaders in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eleven<\/strong>, concerning world government and the decline of America: on July 22, 2024, at a J.D. Vance campaign rally in Ohio, state senator George Lang said, \u201cI am afraid if we lose this one (the upcoming presidential election), it\u2019s going to take a civil war to save this country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lang is concerned that the globalists will continue to push the New World Order, chip away at America\u2019s freedom, and citizens may have to fight for the sovereignty of our nation and to protect the rights of their children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My opinion: I don\u2019t think Lang was calling for a civil war, but I do think he was saying this next election may be the last chance to stop the New World Order at the ballot box.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n (More: On July 22, 2024, the Associated Press reported that Kamala Harris has enough delegates to secure the Democrat nomination for Pres. of the U.S. My opinion: If this is true, and she wins and carries the House and Senate, she will put the New World Order in fast-forward, and the globalist goal of a world government by 2030 or sooner might be realized.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Note: On July 22, 2024, it was reported that the New York Times Editorial Board is urging Harris to drop out because they don\u2019t think she can defeat Trump. One recent poll shows Trump winning by a large margin.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n (More: On July 23, 2024, Rep. Andy Biggs filed impeachment charges against Kamala Harris. Biggs said, \u201cHer breathtaking incompetence as Border Czar has allowed a crisis of drugs, rape, and murder to flood the streets of America.\u201d He added that she \u201cbreached the public\u2019s trust (by not invoking the 25th Amendment) after it became clear that Joe Biden was mentally and physically unfit to serve as president.\u201d I doubt that she will be impeached, but who knows?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twelve<\/strong>, concerning corruption in the U.S. Secret Service (USSS): on July 23, 2024, Kimberly Cheatle, director of the USSS, resigned over the agency\u2019s failure to protect Pres. Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thursday, July 18, 2024 (Day 287): The two-hundred thirty-first day of the resumed war. Day 73 of the attack on Rafah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday, July 19, 2024 (Day 288): The two-hundred thirty-second day of the resumed war. Day 74 of the attack on Rafah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, July 20, 2024 (Day 289): The two-hundred thirty-third day of the resumed war. Day 75 of the attack on Rafah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday, July 21, 2024 (Day 290): The two-hundred thirty-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 76 of the attack on Rafah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
