Although we remain earthbound, the signs of the approaching Tribulation period continue to reach new heights in both frequency and intensity. We live in the season of Jesus\u2019 appearing to take us home to glory; He could come for us at any moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, I have selected seven news stories from the past year that continue to shout with the message that we live in the last days leading up to the start of the Tribulation period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Saudi Arabia-Israel Peace Initiative<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, spearheaded a gathering of nations during the closing months of 2024. His purpose was to begin the process of establishing a Palestinian state by means of a seven to ten-year peace agreement with Israel. The next meeting is scheduled for June 2-4, 2025, at the UN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The interest of so many nations in the fate of Jerusalem tells us that the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:1-3<\/a> is happening before our eyes. It\u2019s more than a little stunning that the result of this ongoing initiative might lead to a seven-year peace accord with Israel. How close might we be to the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27<\/a> and the start of Daniel\u2019s seventieth week and the Tribulation period?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even if next year\u2019s meeting doesn\u2019t result in the antichrist\u2019s seven-year deal with Israel, is it not significant that we already see the planning for this future covenant with the many?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Donald Trump\u2019s Reelection as President<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Donald Trump\u2019s election victory is good news for Israel as well as the American people. Once he takes office, the congress-approved weapons will flow freely to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With respect to the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27<\/a>, his win might enhance the peace negotiations already taking place. Once in office, Trump will likely revitalize his \u201cDeal of the Century\u201d plan from 2020 whereby he sought to resolve the Palestinian issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How might Trump\u2019s reelection factor into the antichrist\u2019s future peace initiative?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First, Israel will feel more secure with him as the U.S. President and, as a result, have a greater willingness to accept a seven-year peace accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Second, many in Israel view Trump as sympathetic to their desire for a third temple. I believe his election increases the probability that the third temple will be a part of any future peace covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. The Continuing Attacks Against Israel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If Israel is to accept the peace deal offered by the antichrist in fulfillment of Daniel 9:27<\/a> and Matthew 24:15<\/a>, we would expect to see the nation besieged by warfare and threats of deadly attacks. If they were at peace with their neighbors, they would have no reason to enter into such a covenant. In other words, their current experience is exactly what we would expect to see in the months or years leading to their acceptance of the peace covenant that the beast will offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Despite delivering crushing blows to both Hamas and Hezbollah in 2024, these terrorist organizations remain active and capable of deadly attacks. There\u2019s also the threat of another Iranian missile attack on Israel and perhaps the future invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38-39. The continuing threats will eventually lead to a war-weary Israel agreeing to the terms of the antichrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. The Fall of Syria<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          The rapid fall of Syria to the rebel coalition surprised many people. Although the surrender of Damascus in recent days is not the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1<\/a>, we are now a giant step closer to seeing its fulfillment. The concern over the weapons left behind by the deposed government under Bashar al-Assad led to 300 Israeli airstrikes within twenty-four hours against the leftover armaments of the previous regime. There\u2019s an ongoing concern about the chemical weapons that the former regime possessed and used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Amir Tsarfati noted on Telegram that while new leaders of Syria seek to portray themselves as moderate, they are \u201cISIS and Al Qaeda in a new face \u2013 that\u2019s all.\u201d Although many in Syria rejoice at the removal of the wicked and brutal Bashar al-Assad, dark and chaotic days lie ahead for the nation. The future and total destruction of Damascus is now more likely to happen in the near term than it was a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. UN 2.0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            In September, the UN member nations voted to significantly strengthen the power of the UN. The summary of the approved proposal used the phrase \u201cUN 2.0\u201d to refer to its enhanced authority over the nations. Although we have yet to see the impact of this, it signifies the growing acceptance of most nations of the necessity of a powerful central government. The strengthened UN provides the structure needed for the establishment of the new world order that will rapidly materialize after the Rapture, if not before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            At the September 2024 UN summit, the nations also strengthened their resolve to implement Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in their respective countries. The development of these systems has huge prophetic implications. At some point, the elite will combine all the individual CBDCs into one, which will enable the beast to control all the buying and selling by the midpoint of the Tribulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. America\u2019s National Debt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Recently, America\u2019s debt level reached thirty-six trillion dollars with 1.4 trillion needed each year just to cover the interest. It\u2019s only the Lord\u2019s restraining hand that keeps this from bringing financial ruin to the US and many other nations. A future U.S. debt explosion could be a key factor that leads to dire conditions of Revelation 6:5-6<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. NATO\u2019s Permission for Ukraine to Fire Missiles into Russia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                In November, President Biden led the way in approving Ukraine\u2019s use of America\u2019s missiles to strike within the territory of Russia. Once NATO missiles began to cause death and destruction to his nation, I anticipated Vladimir Putin to quickly retaliate by attacking the U.S. and its allies. Although such a large-scale response has not yet happened, many claim that WWIII has already begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Is this not another sign that the second rider of the apocalypse will soon ride across the planet (Revelation 6:2-3<\/a>, 7-8<\/a>)? Although the Lord continues to restrain this future catastrophic eruption of violence, we now have a clearer picture of what lies ahead for the world after the Rapture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                As we await our departure from Earth to the place that Jesus is preparing for us in Heaven, the above sampling of headlines from 2024 tells us that we are ever so close to meeting Him in the air. The stories from the past year paint a picture of a world on the edge of the Day of the Lord, which will quickly follow the Rapture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
