What does the future hold - one mans perspective?

For those that are unsaved the future does not look very rosy at all?

But one still has to face up to the realities of what is happening in the daily news broadcasts relative to the prophecies of the Bible, and from those news broadcasts I am able to determine that since the introduction and fulfillment of a position for a full time president of the E.U. events are now moving at an alarming rate towards the remainder of what has been prophesied.

Although many may dispute this I believe that by this appointment we may have seen the revealing of the Antichrist -- and he is Herman Van Rompuy.

At hand, we also have the news there is going to be a complete global financial collapse as early as the middle of this year. (see the below formatted article) A money crash would have to be a precursor to a cashless society and the Mark of the Beast system for buying and selling.

First 6 months of 2010, Americans will continue to live in the 'unreality'…the period between July and October is when the financial fireworks will begin. The Fed will act unilaterally for its own survival irrespective of any political implications …(source is from insider at FED meetings). In the last quarter of the year we could even see Martial law, which is more likely for the first 6 months of 2011. The FDIC will collapse in September 2010. Commercial real estate is set to implode in 2010. Wall Street believes there is a 100% chance of crash in bond market, especially municipals sometime during 2010. The dollar will be devalued by the end of 2010.

Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 16 to 18
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

There are other possible future events that also point to the end of the age
If there is to be another conference of Climate Change later on this year that results in the confirmation of a seven year treaty, (if that were to be confirmed by Herman Van Rompuy) then we would be witnessing the formation of a World Government and possibly the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, verse 27?

More than likely that probable scenario could take place by the end of the year? Nonetheless, other Born again believers in Christ may well dispute this?

Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

I have always been lead to believe that the aim of the Antichrist was global dominance. That being the case, one can remember that just as soon as he was appointed as the E.U. president Van Rompuy quite freely delivered a speech on the virtues and advantages of a World Government. Just a coincidence, I don’t think so? When I went to school 2+2 used to equal 4 and it still does!

Then we have the occurrences of aggression by North and South Korea that have been so prevalent on the Korean Peninsula which may lead to the outbreak of a Third World War? That scenario is panning out just as the U.S. based Cutting Edge Ministries have for so long been espousing.

Of the points mentioned above there is only one that we can be sure of we can be sure of and that is that the EU has appointed their leader. From that date (01st of January 2010) the EU is only going to last 42 months, or prophetically speaking, one hour .

The larger percentage of what I have mentioned above is possible scenarios only and cannot be guaranteed to come to pass -- However, there is still some food for thought there in the very least?

Where have all the true men of God disappeared to?

With their prophetic and uplifting messages, I remember years and years ago when I was a young Christian there were so many men on fire for the Lord, but where have all these “on fire for the Lord” men vanished to ,or has there been a Rapture of the Church that I have somehow missed?

There are some that are still alive and preaching but what has caused such a waning in their messages, it can’t be just old age catching up, or can it? Or is this fading of words of fire and wisdom atypical of what has been prophesied in the Bible to occur at the end of the age when we are told that Christians shall be neither hot nor cold and for that reason I will spue them out says the Lord?

Does any one out there in cyber-land have any thoughts or insights on this on this subject matter or is the fact of the pastors suddenly going silent just as en times events are about to unfold and that what was to be expected at the end of the Church Age? Are we about to enter into another middle ages, by the looks of things we are?

Revelation Chapter 3, Verse 16 16:
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
