That is a question I expect on the minds of many believers. We are so very close to the return of the Lord. And now we see a bold change in the government of the US that will surely lead to a move away from the trend to the one world government that was so well underway. A very few other places have had a similar change in government, such as Argentina, but not many. The UN, the World Economic Forum, and others all continue to work towards the one-world government.
So what does this mean? Still and most obviously, we all should be alert to all that is happening as the Lord has warned us in Luke 21:36, and be ready to go when he comes.
Beyond that, let me say that nothing has changed regarding our being so close to the return of Jesus. All those prophecies fulfilled, everything is still in line for that. His coming to collect his sheep could happen anytime.
Here are some interesting insights regarding the newly elected government in the US:
- There seems to be some talk about encouraging the building of the third temple in Jerusalem. Well, that does need to be ready by the middle of the Tribulation when the antichrist comes to take up residence there, but that building could all happen during the early years of the Tribulation. Still, it is interesting to hear this being discussed!
- The newly nominated secretary of defense himself has spoken of the need to build the temple on a specific spot on the temple mount.
- The newly appointed ambassador to Israel under the new administration is a strong supporter of Israel, as are several in the new administration
- Likely, we shall see a return to the efforts of the previous Trump administration to bring about a peace accord with Israel and its many neighbors. You may remember the successful Abraham accords that brought some Arab nations to an improved relationship with Israel.
- In the election on November 5, the overwhelming number of evangelical Christians voted for President Trump. Similarly, the great number of Catholics voted for President Trump. But, sadly and shockingly, the overwhelming number of Jews in the US voted for the losing side, the socialist government that was leading the US into the one-world government and that does not strongly support Israel. It seems inconceivable, but then we have to realize these people do not know Jesus. And for that matter, so many are not even serious Jews, rather being ethnic Jews. Well, the time of their coming face to face with truth is near at hand, just not yet.
All this is interesting surely. But then you and I know a bit more. We know that once a true peace agreement is signed by Israel that the people believe in so much they live in unwalled villages, the seven year Tribulation begins. In fact, it begins the moment that agreement is signed. And the individual who clearly leads that to come about is the antichrist.
We also have noticed all the interaction between Russia and Turkey and Iran in recent years. All that is leading up to their attack on Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war, an attack that is obviously repelled by God in a way all should recognize his hand. That attack will happen early in the Tribulation period, for the people are living in unwalled villages when it occurs the Bible says.
I do have one other overriding comment: the new administration is not yet in office. It seems an eerily quiet period in the US. We all should be praying for peace and safety for all involved as this goes forward.
We should still expect the Lord’s return to collect his believers before the beginning of the Tribulation, for as we have noted so many times, in several places the Bible notes we were not appointed to suffer wrath. Besides, the antichrist will not be free on earth to work to bring about the famous peace agreement that begins the Tribulation unless the true CHURCH, the true believers, have been taken out of the way.
Keep your eyes on Jesus. At all times. Pray in the Spirit. Seek his guidance. Remember, the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth, tells you things yet to come, and reminds you of things Jesus has said to you. If you don’t know the Holy Spirit and his gifts, pray to receive that and the baptism of the Spirit. If possible, ask a Spirit-filled believer to pray for you for this. Or contact us and we can pray for you over the telephone.
