There is news aplenty that is abounding at the moment relative to the end times that can be summed up by the following:Some of the Bible prophecies mentioned in this article have already been fulfilled.
On the other hand, there are others that have not come to pass.
Nevertheless, there is a very strong probability that the preponderance of them may be fulfilled in the foreseeable future, and certainly in the lifetimes of the majority of those that are reading this article?
Relative to the end times one may therefore ask, what has already been achieved and what is yet to come?
Firstly, the power base for the Antichrist is the presidency of the EU Council of Ministers.
Therefore, has the leader of the EU been appointed? The answer to that is a very affirmative, yes, and he is Herman Van Rompuy.
Therefore, and even though it is not really all that wise to set dates, the EU will last just 42 months from the date of that appointment; that is, from the 01st of January 2010 until the 31st of June 2014.
Secondly, we are told in the book of Daniel that in coming to power the president of the EU (the little horn of Daniel) subdues three kings, or nations.
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 AND VERSES 23 AND 24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Has that happened?
Yes it has! The news that is coming out of the media is that Ireland has been forced to accept a bailout package for the financial difficulties they were facing.
That means they have effectively lost their independence and sovereignty, and have now become dependent on the IMF and the nations they borrowed the money from.
As a consequence, they have been subdued, just as the Bible said would be the case, and this much to the disgust of some of the Irish politicians who see no other way out other than to resign their ministries as a form of protest over these latest developments.
The other two nations that are being forced to accept the packages are Greece and Portugal.
When I went to school 1 + 2 equalled 3, so there we have the three nations mentioned in the Bible prophecies the Antichrist subdues in coming to power.
To usher in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ back onto the earth and to prove the correct identity of the Antichrist we have yet to see the confirmation, or rubber stamping, of a seven year Middle East peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. See the other articles mentioned on this blog relative to that subject matter.
This has not happened as yet, BUT, with the latest news the US has effectively bribed the Israelis with the promise of 30 stealth fighter jets, and a guarantee there would be no interference from the UN should Israel react in an aggressive manner against any hostilities against its borders.
All of this in exchange for just a 90 day freeze on the building of Jewish settlements on Palestinian land, the news could not be much worse for the Arab states in the region.
We are told in the prophecies of Revelation Chapter 6 that as the Antichrist comes forth as the peacemaker of the Middle East -- but after his confirmation of the treaty of Daniel from this temporary peace the Antichrist will plunge the world into the most cataclysmic world war the world has ever seen.
REVELATION CHAPTER 6 AND VERSES 2 AND 36:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
6:3 "And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see." "And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
With the US heavily arming Israel as they are doing at the moment with 3 billion dollars worth of Stealth fighter jets there is going to be nothing that is going to stand in the way of Israel once the conflict mentioned above begins, no, nothing at all. Therefore it now looks as if the treaty of Daniel mentioned above is extremely close indeed.
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 AND VERSE 27And 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.
This is not scaremongering, those are the facts of the matter.
There is a solution to the current Middle East peace crisis and it is a plain as the nose on your face, in the case of the Jews, that pun needs to be excused. All that is needed to close any Middle East peace deal is for the Palestinians to recognize “tiny Israel as the one and only Jewish state.”
There also need to be permanent solutions found to stopping the building of settlements on the West Bank.
There also needs to be the right of return or compensation for Palestinian refugees, and they need the right to share the Holy Sites in Jerusalem.
There also needs to be a going back to the 1967 borders and for the Israelis to cease stealing and occupying land the Palestinians have lived on for hundreds of years.
Over the decades there has been numerous acts of terrorism that have been committed by both sides.
However, there still remains a differential between the two sides that cannot be distinguished.
As a consequence, there still remains a question mark as to who is more to blame for the atrocities that have been committed over the dozens of years the fighting has been going on?
Therefore, the reality still remains that there is not one side that is more guilty, or more innocent for that matter, of acts of terrorism than the other.
Consequently, it really is a toss of the coin as to who are more to blame for the genocide that have been perpetrated over there for decades, but that is not to say that I am still in favour of a viable, just two-state solution.
If there was ever the chance of peace being achieved in the Middle East it would also be advantageous for that objective to be achieved if Israel stopped destroying Palestinian homes, took down the wall that divided the two warring parties, and did away with the checkpoints.
If those stipulations were ever agreed to then there may be an extremely good chance of peace in the region?
