God said He knows the end from the beginning and that He declares what has not yet come.
He added that He will do what He wants to do, and that His counsel will stand (Isa. 46:10).
I believe that His ability to reveal the future proves that He is God because He has given hundreds of signs (the return of Israel, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, etc.) that demonstrate His ability (even though some of the prophecies are more than 2,000 years old).
Think about it: God revealed the exact day the Messiah would arrive the first time (173,880 days from the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem; Dan. 9:25; Neh. 2:1-8).
How did He know?
This is the point: If God revealed the exact day the Messiah was coming the first time, it should be pretty easy for us to believe that the signs of Messiah’s Second Coming are accurate.
I believe current events are proof positive that He is God and He is the Author of the Future.
Here are some recent articles that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.
One, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 16, the U.S. attacked Iran’s bridges and railroads.
Iran has said that if their infrastructure is hit by the U.S., then Iran will target every last piece of infrastructure of countries in the Middle East assisting the U.S.
Iran specifically cited oil infrastructure.
One reader reminded me that:
- Yemen is on standby to close the Red Sea if the US were to bomb Iran’s infrastructure.
- The bombs happened!
- Saudi Arabia and Yemen are at odds, to complicate matters.
- Moreover, Pakistan has a protection umbrella agreement with Saudi Arabia.
Two, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: officials are reporting that more than 10,000 people died above expected levels across Europe during the record-breaking late-June heatwave.
More: On July 16, 2026, Texas was bracing for record-shattering rainfall.
More: Millions of Americans are under air quality alerts this week as more than 800 wildfires continue to rage across Canada. The wildfires are not due to a single cause and can be exacerbated by seasonal conditions, including drought and warm weather. Some were sparked by lightning, which can strike hard-to-reach areas of Canada’s forests and is responsible for most of the total area burned in Canada.
More: Governor Patrick Morrisey declared a State of Emergency for all 55 counties in West Virginia on July 21, after severe thunderstorms produced flash flooding, landslides, road closures, and other hazardous conditions across the state. Flooding has surpassed record levels.
Three, concerning all nations turning against Israel at the end of the age: on July 15, 2026, a majority of House Democrats casting a yes-or-no vote supported cutting off funds designated for Israel, marking one of the clearest signs yet that the Democratic Party is shifting away from its longstanding support for the Jewish state.
Four, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog and Russia’s desire for a spoil and a prey in Israel (Ezek. 38:12): on July 20, 2026, it was reported that “due to the extensive damage Ukrainian drones have inflicted on refineries deep inside Russian territory, Russia has begun importing refined petroleum products – primarily gasoline – from India.”
Russia is beginning to need energy, and Israel has it.
