Signs of the End times in 2005 |
1) Devastating natural disasters foreshadow the coming of Christ.
In the last year, a massive tsunami devastated coastal cities from India
to Indonesia. The death toll and devastation were mind-numbing. Then
less than a year later, an entire American city, and much of the
American Gulf Coast was taken out, or at least rendered uninhabitable
for months. The damaging effects of both hurricanes Katrina and Wilma,
as well as the devastation wreaked by the earthquake in Pakistan have
made 2005 the most destructive year in memory. In Luke 21:10 Jesus
speaks of "great earthquakes", as well as "fearful events and great
signs from heaven" that will happen before His return. Prophecy experts
agree that the accumulation and volume of disasters are definite warning
signs. These events are seen as a foreshadowing of the overwhelming
chaos that is to transpire during the tribulation, prompting many to
repent before it's too late.
2) The Jewish population converges in Israel to rebuild their temple in
Jerusalem.
As Israel's Jewish population increases, it is expected to become the
largest in the world, surpassing that of the United States. This will be
a dynamic benchmark from a biblical perspective, as the number one
"super-sign" of the end times is the return of the Jewish people to
their homeland from worldwide exile.
Israel has suffered a tumultuous year after withdrawing from a 38-year
occupation in Gaza. The international community saw this as a positive
step, but it caused unrest among Palestinians and Islamic militants,
resulting in protests and air strikes. These continued tensions may make
Israel ripe for a covenant with the Antichrist.
Another significant event went largely unnoticed. The ancient Sanhedrin,
the official legal tribunal in Israel, convened in October 2004‹the
first time in 1,600 years. In its February 2005 meeting, it took up the
topic of rebuilding the temple. At its June meeting, the Sanhedrin
issued an official call to rebuild the temple, an act that God's Word
predicts must occur before the return of the Messiah.
3) A union between Europe and Iraq could set the stage for the emergence
of the Antichrist.
Over the past two decades, the Middle East has been one of the world's
most fierce battlegrounds. But recent activity in Iraq could be moving
it closer to a peaceful democracy. The Bible prophesies that the city of
Babylon will be rebuilt as headquarters for the antichrist. Babylon lies
on the Euphrates River, just 50 miles south of Baghdad.
The possibility of a peaceful Iraq may encourage relations with Europe.
As these ties grow deeper, a European leader may use his influence to
fashion a wider presence in Babylon. While the situation in Iraq is
currently still dangerous and uncertain, two elections have already been
successful. Europe may attempt to develop good relations with Iraq
because of its prime location in the middle of two-thirds of the world's
proven oil reserves. The coalition could lead to the further building of
Europe as the new Roman Empire and the eventual emergence of the
Antichrist.
4) Islamic extremists lash out with London bombings and France riots.
Extremist Islamic unrest in Europe was at the heart of the London
bombing and the riots in France. Both of these events point to the
dramatic religious and cultural divide between the east and west.
Muslims have been using dramatic tactics to get France to bow to its
demands, with much of the tension coming from the difficulty the country
has had with integrating its large number of Muslim immigrants into
society. Even as Europe extends its reach, it is likely to feel
ill-equipped to handle increasing Muslim terror and the possibilities of
an oil crisis. This could open the door to the rule of an oligarchy, as
prophesied in Daniel 2 and 7. This singular governing body will
vehemently work against terror. From an oligarchy, the rule of the
Antichrist may not be too far behind.
5) Putin consolidates power in Russia, as the empire rebuilds.
Russia has tried to make drastic reforms, but can't escape her past.
President Putin has been moving to consolidate power and neutralize
potential opposition. In an apparent power-grab, Putin abolished direct
election of the 89 governors of the various regions of Russia. In his
annual state of the nation address in April, he mourned the fall of the
Soviet Union and raised fears he is reversing democracy.
In addition, this year saw the Russian parliament voting to severely
limit the independence of foreign-backed human rights organizations and
think tanks in the country. These organizations will be forced to
register with the Ministry of Justice, and adhere to state control.
These events in Russia are exactly what we should expect to see if we
are nearing the end times. If the empire rebuilds and attacks with its
Islamic allies, the target will be Israel.

the end times - vice your collection of coincidences and antidotes.
