I have heard it said in many ways from both Christians and pastors. They say today is no different than any other previous period in history. They tell us that just like the past, the societal trends we bemoan will correct themselves.
In other words, there’s no reason to think we live in the last days of human history. But is this really the case? Can we turn back the clock from the midnight hour?
In several ways, life has returned to more of a sense of normality since the lockdowns, business and church closures, and draconian restrictions of the COVID-19 era. This confirms the belief of many that our day is no different than any other period in the past; normal always returns.
In America, this normality bias is especially strong. Many believers plan their futures as though nothing will interfere with their distant aspirations. Their illusion of normalcy muffles the warning sirens loudly blaring all around them. “Things are not as bad as they seem,” they tell us, “we don’t share your pessimistic view of the future.” But does such optimism align with what the Bible says?
Yes, there have been times in history where immorality and lawlessness mirrored what we see today. The WWII era had many in that day thinking they were living in the last days; it was certainly a horrific and deadly time in history. For over century, globalists have plotted world domination and population reduction. So, what makes today different?
It’s the great convergence of so many signs occurring at a time when Israel again exists as a nation.
Israel’s miraculous reemergence as a nation after two thousand years tells us by itself that we live at a time like no other. We are watching end time prophecy unfold before our eyes as hostility toward the Jewish state and people rapidly intensifies throughout the world, just as the Bible said would happen in the last days. The nation’s fervor to build the third temple is also something the Bible said would occur before the Second Coming. And we are watching that happen.
The convergence of a myriad of signs also tells us the world will soon lose any pretense of normality. The nonstop threats of catastrophic wars and warnings of impending economic catastrophe point to the tragic conditions prophesied in Revelation 6:1-8. Lawlessness, government corruption, and deception are unlike anything I have seen in my life. The growing number and intensity of earthquakes and active volcanoes along with the nonstop rumors of war foretell the “birth pains” Jesus warned about in Matthew 24:3-8.
The murderous scheming of the elite powerbrokers of our world is nothing new. During the past decade, however, they have become remarkably transparent about their deadly agenda (although few are paying attention). A few years ago, they invited the press into a meeting where they openly discussed their plans for a one-world central bank digital currency (CBDC), something that will give them the domination they desire (and later fulfill the words of Revelation 13:16-18).
Israel’s miraculous reemergence as a nation plus not just a few, but a myriad of prophetic signs occurring all at once equals the last days. Today is far different than any other time in history.
