Assessing current events
By Hal Lindsey
When I sit back and take a good, hard look current events, I marvel that anyone
could miss the signs of Jesus Christ's soon coming.
We live in a world where the United States is considered socially backward
because it takes issue with the idea of homosexual marriage.
It is a world in which a Catholic archbishop can cause headlines by referring
to homosexuality as "epidemic."
It is a world where people find no contradiction in demanding that everybody
else conform to their narrow views because the view of the majority makes them
feel like outsiders.
A world in which the prevailing legal view is that there is a "God-given right"
for the God-haters to not be offended by the mention of "God" in public.
A Houston, Texas judge ruled that a Bible in a courthouse might give the
impression Houston's Harris County has a preference for Christianity. A Bible
in a courthouse! Is he kidding?
Up seems to be down and black seems to be white. For the first time in the
history of mankind, the main topic of debate is over a question no previous
generation would even entertain. The question baffling this generation is not
"where did I come from?" or, "Is there an afterlife?" That doesn't seem to be
as important as whether marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Meanwhile, the Earth itself seems to be in rebellion. The Asian mega-quake that
changed geography caused the planet to vibrate like a tuning fork. It knocked
the planet far enough off its axis to momentarily change time – and this may
only be the beginning.
There are warnings of a sudden shift in the Earth's poles, a reversal of the
Earth's magnetic fields and the fear of the onset of a new Ice Age.
Environmentalists warn that global warming will raise the world's sea levels,
resulting the catastrophic flooding and loss of life. Many scientists warn that
the shift of mass from the concentration of solid ice caps due to melting and
being distributed in the oceans could further exacerbate the Earth's wobbling
axis.
Meanwhile, the sun continues to convulse, sending out massive showers of debris
into the solar system, while irradiating the Earth with unprecedented doses of
solar radiation. It is, according to some prominent Russian scientists, the
most active period of solar activity in 8,000 years.
The past year broke all the records in terms of natural disasters. This year
began with earthquakes, floods, unseasonably cold weather in some places,
unseasonably warm in others, and nobody seems to be able to explain what is
going on.
The economy is at once both robust and growing and teetering on the edge of
catastrophe. Economists warn that it would take just one push in the right
direction at the right time for the whole house of cards to come collapsing
around our ears.
Meanwhile, NASA just spent hundreds of millions to launch a spacecraft designed
to impact with a comet in deep space to see if it is possible to deflect a
killer asteroid. Does anyone else beside me feel like he is in a Stephen King
movie?
The Bible prophets describes the last days as a period of ever-increasing wars
and natural disasters. Jesus, Himself, predicted that there would be wars and
rumors of wars, great earthquakes, plagues of deadly diseases, cataclysmic
weather changes and famine just before His return. He likened all these things
to birth pangs. He said that as the time approached, they would increase in
both frequency and intensity.
He spoke of signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. He warned of
the distress of nations, saying things would grow so frightening that men's
hearts would fail them for fear, just in looking at what is coming.
But all these terrors are just the beginning of a period of catastrophe and
death so profound that Jesus, Himself, said no time in history has ever been
like it before – nor ever will be again.
Amidst all the fear and uncertainty, however, Jesus promised great hope. He
said that, just before the beginning of the 7-year period, He would come again
and receive to Himself all those who put their faith in Him and receive the
gift of pardon He paid for with His own blood.
We see the shadows of predicted events that tell us the time known as the
Tribulation Period is almost upon us. To those who understand the prophecy of
the Bible that means time is extremely short. Do not put off receiving the gift
of pardon that Jesus purchased for you and put your name on it. Don't get left
behind. The consequences of that will be beyond anything you can imagine.

Do you concur that this is evidence for your "end of times" then tone?

Is this based on a (false) observance that seismic activity is increasing
too?

Yow! Well, after reading and evaluating
your posted content - I decided to summon
Jesus for help, guidance and protective
shielding. He appeared and made a very
well appointed and nicely stocked bunker for us both with HDTV and wireless
Internet connection. Let me know when
your ready to get in it with me and I can
send you a one way ticket here on Virgin
Airlines.
Tangents are infinite in all of nature in
all universes constantly and at random.
