I have recently read a book by Dr David Jeremiah entitled "What in the World is Going On? It describes how the events that are taking place are signs and warnings that the rapture of the Christians and tribulation are very close.
I feel compelled to write and warn you that the rapture is near and so is the tribulation.
Sign 1 Not only is Israel a nation again, as predicted by Isaiah but they are surrounded by terrorist enemies and nations who want to wipe them off the map.
Israel is secular now but now will one day realize Jesus is the Messiah. Soon they will surrounded by enemies.
Sign 2 Oil is in such great demand that even America may turn its back on Israel to keep the flow of oil coming from Islamic nations.
Sign 3 Iran(Persia) has instituted the Euro dollar as payment for oil. All of Europe has changed over to Euro dollars. The American dollar is losing value and may soon disappear and the Euro will be the currency of the world.
Sign 4 Daniel saw a vision of all the world empires. Babylon (head of Gold) Medio, Persia (arms of silver) Greece (trunk of bronze) Rome (leg of iron). The last empire is the European Rome (feet of iron and clay).
Sign 5 Islam is rapidly overtaking Europe, and will in a few years control Europe. Islamic terrorists will force Europe to war against Israel (Gods chosen nation).
Israel has suffered greatly because they turned their back on God but were restored as a nation in 1948.
Sign 6 The immanent battle of Gog is coming. Russia and at least five other nations (Ezek. 38:
2-6) will attack Israel from the north to take a spoil. But they will be defeated when God sends convulsions of the earth; confusion on the troops; and calamaties from the sky (rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone).
Sign 7 The battle of Armageddon. All nations are involved this time, not for spoil, but to annihilate the Jews. Led by the Antichrist. This time the dead will not be buried as they were after the battle of Gog. Jesus will return and end this battle with the word of Christ - a sharp sword. Rev. 19:15 and 21. These last two battles probably be after the Christians are already raptured away.
Israel will sign a seven year peace treaty which will be broken after three and a half years.
So the famines, disease, pestilence, European Union, and the rise of Islam all lead up to the rapture.
Be warned - it could happen anytime soon.
