Great Reset with persecution of Christians or first another world war?

Globalist totalitarian fascism is progressing across the globe so rapidly that the world will be in an either or situation very soon. Either the world globalizes under the Global Reset program being pushed by the elitists, or this agenda will fail because we will be in a world war in short order.

I think there must be a world war because things are just not fully set up yet for prophetic events to play out as written. I also do not think we can get there through just the Great Reset plan. Besides that, what is now occurring on earth is obviously being orchestrated by spiritual rulers in high places. Their demonic prophets already told us three world wars will be necessary to bring in their globalist one world agenda.

It seems to me that we are now just seeing preliminary stage setting for the globalist agenda that actually will be put in place after the next world war. That war probably will begin shortly because of actions from Iran and China. The focus of the next world war will be against belligerent Shiite Islam led by Iran, and the gangster fascism ruling over China and North Korea.

The last time the world was so criminally insane was just before the great flood. As a response, God carried out a great reset program of His own. I think we have arrived to such a time once again. Jesus said it would be like in the Days of Noah just before the end time judgements fall.

Conditions on earth are also looking much like they did just before the start of previous would wars. Just before and during World War II the spiritual rulers of this age tried to advance the latest Antichrist out of Europe named Hitler. Obviously his world conquest was not within God’ timing, and he failed, as did other Antichrist prototypes before him. The same wicked forces will attempt another Antichrist in our time. This time the timing for the appearance of the counterfeit Messiah seems most appropriate.

Today there are global communications, global financing and global surveillance. In just a few years when the tens of thousands of satellites being planned are fully in place, everyone on earth can be tracked and controlled. Such global control has never happened before. You can be sure the rulers of this age plan to use such modern technology to control everyone.

Presently, under the Great Reset agenda, the globalist bankers and the corporate technocracy are pushing globalism under the direction of the Red Chinese. I do not think that will work. There are great internal problems in China and people in the rest of the world are not about to let the Red Chinese gangsters control everything in their lives.

Revelation indicates the King of the East are bound until late in the great tribulation. Until then, Europe runs the areas west of the Euphrates. These western nations are the remains of the Roman Empire. The Roman Beast is the fourth and last beast mentioned by Daniel before God sets up His own kingdom on earth. There is no fifth Gentile kingdom ruling over Israel. The little horn of Daniel comes from the northwest of Israel just like the original Roman Empire (Dan 8:9). All the Antichrist prototypes of history came from the area of the empires mentioned by Daniel, and so will the real one.

The head of world religion (the Harlot) has been in Rome since religion that identified with Christ joined the world system. Even Islam is just a bastardization of Judaism and Christianity. Now the Pope is trying to bring the Harlot of Revelation 17 together under the name of the Abrahamic Accords and Chrislam.

Pope Francis is using the name of Mary and identifying her with Islam to help bring that about. Even so, it probably will not be successful until religious people fear for their lives. During the next world war they will be in great fear for their survival and Queen of Heaven apparitions will advance the cause for a one world religion to save the world. It does not even matter if the Mary apparitions are supernatural or man-made deceptions. Religious people prove that they will grasp onto tea leaves and false prophets if they have messages of false hopes. Christendom and Islam are probably represented by the two horns seen on the second Beast (Re 13:11).

The unified world religion is the very reason the worldwide persecution of true believers starts. They will think they are doing God a favor by ridding the world of fundamentalists who believe that Jesus is the only path to God. They will claim an inclusive world religion is the only way to stop the world from further self-destruction.

The globalists claim that nations must lose most of their sovereignty in favor of world governance for there to be lasting peace on earth, but that obviously cannot happen before someone conquers much of the world. That is what the riding of the four horsemen of Revelation are about.  As I said, this riding does not come from the east it comes from northwest of Israel (Dan 8:9). All the antichrist prototypes in world history came from Europe, and they conquered through war, not peace. It will not be any different this time.

According to Zec 5:11, the headquarters of the wicked Antichrist world government will be moved to the plains of Shinar in Iraq. The move will happen because globalist diplomats will no longer have the option to live in New York. Most likely the US will get in a war with China, Iran and others, and in the process her electrical grid will be taken down and her cities will go into total self-destruction mode. There are some already pushing for the move to Babylon. The Pope did not just go to Iraq for the climate. He is making a push for a one world religion there. It seems, the little Horn grows exceedingly great as far east as the Euphrates River. That means the land of Babylon will eventually be on the Antichrist’s western front.

The world is so far in debt that there is no other option other than a global debt reset or a world war. Do you really think people are just going to pacifically accept a two-thirds reduction in their standard of living without a revolutionary backlash? Populism in response to globalism and the government decrees is already rising all over the world. They are never going to accept the globalist decrees that impoverish everyone but the wealthy. Will you?

The globalists claim that these populist movements are anti-democracy, but those joining populist movements know that there is no real democracy. There is an Oligarchy running the nations and a tyranny of minorities are running them. People are being told how to think and what “woke” nonsense they have to buy into to not be labeled racist. The elitists love to call their government democracies, but in reality the people are only allowed to vote for those the elitists already approved.

When the globalist bankers tell people that they must convert 3 dollars or more to get one special drawing right, and it only buys what one dollar did before the pandemic, will you just pacifically accept such a decree? These kinds of government decrees can only happen during a time of world war, when as a matter of survival all resources are totally controlled by governments and their military.

Read what happens as the Red, Black and Pale horse of Revelation plays out:

Rev 6:3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
Rev 6:4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Rev 6:5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.
Rev 6:6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!
Rev 6:7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!
Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

That is how global control actually comes about not through the proposed Global Reset agenda. During times of world war everything is nationalized and common people only get substance living. In the period of the riding of these horses over a billion people will die. And that is just the start of the population reductions. The death of all these people are part of the overall planning because the satanic elite believe there are too many people on the planet. They need a world war to reduce the populations. They think reduced populations on earth are a good thing.

Then comes the opening of the fifth seal and the great persecution of those believing differently from the one world religion Harlot takes place:

Rev 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.
Rev 6:10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Rev 6:11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

Those in the one world religion will actually think they are doing God a favor by ridding the earth of such people. After that plays out, the little horn Antichrist enters the Temple of God claiming that he is above anything called God, and he instructs the leaders on earth to destroy the Harlot. At that point the world will return to the paganism that first started at Babylon. People will worship fallen angels and demons. This leader will demand worship and all who will not worship him as God will be sentenced to death. He will rule for 42 months with the assistance of fallen angels and the demonic beings who ascend out of the abyss.

These events are actually what are coming upon us, not a peaceful transition into world government being proposed by the globalists and their controlled media. Take all that globalism talk with a grain of salt. End time prophetic events will play out as written, not as liberal utopians envision. The world will soon go into great turmoil and the wicked principalities and powers in high places will use the turmoil to advance their latest false messiah.

The Great Reset that globalists claim will bring social justice and equality on earth is not going to happen before another world war. As the tribulation of those days play out, the demonic unseen realm will take control over the earth and all on earth will reap the consequences. They will have no pity on anyone, and they do not care if they wipe out the whole human race. Christian thinking needs to line up with prophetic scripture. We have not evolved. Fallen mankind remains hopelessly depraved. We now see that playing out everywhere. There are cycles of evil that bring death and destruction quite regularly on earth and that is happening again. We should not even pretend that anything these globalists envision for mankind will actually become a global reality.

  1. Toby Covington says:

    Don, I know none of us knows but where do you see the rapture before or after this next probable world war? I think the rapture has to occur before the Antichrist can be revealed.

  2. Adriana says:

    The speed with which our country is descending into madness is breathtaking. There is hardly any pushback against Maduro, oops Biden with all his executive orders. Some of the pastors I follow on YouTube have had their videos removed. I’m sure this is just the start of outright persecution. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I can’t imagine how it would be without knowing Jesus Christ. He truly is our blessed hope.

  3. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Toby,

    From the Jewish wedding analogy the Rapture of the Bride of the King is probably about seven years before His second coming in power and glory. The riding of the four horsemen is likely to occur before the last seven years for Israel. The seven years starts with the signing of the covenant and that probably happens in the peace after the world war. And just before the two prophets appear.

  4. Dewey Proctor says:

    Many people confuse the battle of Armageddon with Ezekial’s War. I believe that there must be a calamitous event that motivates the world to seek a Deliverer. Many mainline denominations believe in replacement theology where the Body of Christ has replaced the nation of Israel as the “Chosen People”. The True Bride of Christ understands that we are a “mysterion” that are an addendum to the Abrahamic Covenant and that the Revelation of Jesus, with supporting OT Scriptures, refers to the Jewish remnant. At present, though the nation of Israel is newsworthy, the world at large has not focused its full attention on the Jews yet. I believe that Ezekial’s War in which God intervenes on their behalf, a preemptive strike against Israel by her enemies, could be the very impetus that instigates the environment in which the Antichrist can step forward. The world, in political and social turmoil over the events that are unfolding involving Israel, look for that “Messiah” who does indeed broker a “covenant of peace” that mollifies the secular Israel and the citizens around the world. World War I was touted as the “war to end all wars” then came WWII, Korea, Vietnam, ad Infinitim. People are so desperate that most look at life through rose colored glasses and as the Scriptures indicate that God Himself will send a strong delusion, it is easy to imagine the people will place their faith and allegiance in whoever appears to offer a sense of calm in the midst of crisis. As Hitler, Stalin, Mao and others diabolically convinced the populous that their solution to peace and prosperity was just, the Antichrist will do the same. I believe that the inference to the Rapture in the Bible indicates that the ecclesia may come out of the world prior to the judgement, but we forget that the Children of Israel were present during the 7 plagues visited on Egypt. It is highly possible that a test of fidelity to God and the Truth of Grace in Christ may be tested through persecution of the True Church by the secular powers of the Great Reset government in the near future. Why should we, as the body of Christ in this post Modern society, possess such a hubris that would excuse us from persecution. I am not so sure that many evangelicals today look forward to the Rapture as an escape from such persecution rather than the awesome blessing of coming face to face with our Redeemer. We have been commanded by Christ to be involved in the process of the Gospel and to be discerning of events that are directly projecting the stages of God’s redemptive plan. God has said that “my people perish for the lack of knowledge” and the world is unwittingly perishing. It therefore behooves us to continue in the work as “watchmen on the wall”. Thank you for your continued service to God and our Lord through your study and discernment of the Holy Word of God. We may never meet in this life, but by God’s merciful grace we will stand one day in the presence of our Creator and share in the joy of His majesty. Yours in Christ.

  5. Jim says:

    As I’ve said before, we know time is getting short. Way too many things point to the 2030s timeframe. Personally I think the 6000 year and the 2520 year cycle both end around this time. I actually think the final 7 years begins in the early 2030s rather than ends. Obviously I can’t be dogmatic.

    We know this great reset will fail because it’s a pipe dream by the global leftists. All they do ends in failure. World war and the rapture will be what sets this all in place.

  6. Steve says:

    I believe Gerald Celente once said, “When all else fails, they take you to war”. I think that’s we’re headed too Don. I believe the most likely flashpoint will be Israel striking Iran in some capacity. War with China seems less likely, although still probable, to me for trade reasons. However, when the dollar collapses and is no longer the standard, anything could happen. It seems clear that war is what the powers that be want though.

  7. Craig P. says:

    Hi,

    It would be nice to be confident regarding the timing of the rapture in relation to Seals or (vice “and”) 7-year tribulation, noting I have it in my head the Seals are ahead of the “last week of Daniel” 7-year period (by, 3.5 years).

    I see a mention of the Jewish wedding analogy in a post above, but then there is John away in the spirit to witness at/before the first seal (white horse rider).

    Plus, of course, removal of America from mention (prior to the first seal). And I/we conjecture the first horseman is very close to riding (say, possibly even a couple years from now).

    Christ controlled the events of His death and resurrection. In all of this, it would seem to me that God would control the world events, namely by issuing the rapture even a time before the rider of the white horse (meaning, it could ignite the world wars, while America is in it’s current condition).

    It’s getting to where we are coming down to not much else but the Blessed Hope. I “shake my head” at those that identify with Christ still having their head down thinking this world is about their relationships or possessions or retirement planning, etc. They are not looking up (I confront them, to no avail).

    Blessings, Craig

  8. Caitlin Lane says:

    Stalin and Mao started the Korean War with the goal being China would consume hundreds of thousands of American lives.
    Point 1: It only takes a few to start a war and if the Oligarchy Elite want a world war they will start one.
    Point 2: If as Don says the U.S. may get into a war with China and our grid goes down I would guess China never gave up on their plan to consume American lives.

    We all see the Satanic Inversion; evil is good and good is evil. It isn’t tolerable.

  9. Faith Cuthrell Sisk says:

    And we will be defended by pregnant women (of color I assume) and transsexuals.Israel is content with their plans,their new allies and we are no longer needed.

  10. Don Palmer says:

    Craig, I agree with your comment: “Christ controlled the events of His death and resurrection. In all of this, it would seem to me that God would control the world events, namely by issuing the rapture even a time before the rider of the white horse (meaning, it could ignite the world wars, while America is in it’s current condition).”
    I believe the rapture could be a huge reason for quickening of the global reset, and could bring on WWIII.
    Also, for Don, Can you shed some light on your statement: “I also do not think we can get there through just the Great Reset plan. Besides that, what is now occurring on earth is obviously being orchestrated by spiritual rulers in high places. Their demonic prophets already told us three world wars will be necessary to bring in their globalist one world agenda.”
    What do you mean by “their demonic prophets already told us…”
    Who are these demonic prophets?
    Thanks

  11. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Don,

    I am primarily referring to what Mason leader Albert Pike is claimed to have said long before World War I. The demonic prophets are those of luciferian secret societies. That would include high ranking Masons and Jesuits. These pushers of a Luciferian world government have not changed their tune.

    https://www.ancientpages.com/2018/01/15/albert-pikes-masonic-prophecy-three-world-wars/

    By the way, it does not matter if Pike was actually the person that said these things. The three world war claims were published in a book in 1925. They got that information from somewhere.

  12. Caitlin Lane says:

    After reading the “Pike Letter” twice there were alot of puzzle pieces that fit and others that don’t. For instance, Truman was raised in a Bible believing home and yet he became a 33rd degree Mason in 1945. He must have known of the Three World War Plan. 1. To spread Communism. As I said previously Truman prevented the Nationalist from defeating Mao and Communism. Later Truman, Stalin and Churchill handed over a chunk of Europe to Russia.

    2. To form a State of Israel. Truman played a key role but has gotten the credit for it because of his faith and Christian values; yet it was part of the Three World War Plan in Pike’s letter. Humm!

    Circumstantial evidence or not?

  13. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Caitlin,

    In the south the church was full of Masons even many of the pastors. They just put a Christian spin on it and say they are Christians because they are also a member of a Church. It’s really a big tent evolutionary and works theology. Only top ranking people actually know what is really going on in Masonry. To most its just a good ole boys club.

    The Masons and the Jesuits are behind the spread of Communism. It was never to be the end, it’s the means to the end. The goal is a luciferian world government. They actually wanted Nazism with its paganism to take over the world and they still do. That is why fascism is back.

    By the way, giving the Jews a state was also their means to the end to kill all Jews in one place. That is still their agenda and too many Jews are only too willing to help the Satanic plan. In spite of what some Christians are saying, Israel will actually help bring in the global government with its false Messiah. That is why they go through the time of Jacob’s trouble.

  14. Allen says:

    I think your interpretation of the future wars is correct. It will not be a cakewalk, and many will die. However, those who make it through those days are promised peace and prosperity. Well…that is how I read the Bible. When will the final war begin? That is like flipping a coin, but I think it will happen soon.

  15. Toby Covington says:

    Does anyone feel comfortable knowing Joe and Kamala are in charge of our nuclear weapons? The fake news media laughed at Trump with his bigger button but we should be much more concerned now. Our commander in chief is senile and guided by evil spirits. It is not very assuring knowing if world war breaks out we have these people in charge. I think Iran will be the start of the next major war, but I have thought that for well over 10 years now. Sorry Don I am sure you have an article but what is Psalm 83, is that a future war and when does it occur?

  16. Adriana says:

    Don,
    Since the pope has now come out and said same sex marriage cannot be blessed, do you think this is an appeasement to the Muslim faith? Perhaps to further garner the relationship between the two since there is no way that same sex marriage would ever be condoned by the Muslim faith.

  17. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Toby,

    The nations mentioned in Psalm 83 does not fit the present political reality. It probably is already fulfilled or happens sometime after Shiite Islam is dealt with.

  18. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Adriana,

    True. Muslims will never accept same sex marriage. By the way, neither will most of the people in the world. This insanity will be dealt with in a backlash as some point. The timing of the Pope’s message suggests it was said because of Islam. The Harlot is not totally devoid of what God teaches. It is very likely that the Harlot will head the coming backlash against the “woke” cancel culture movement.

  19. Jim says:

    I wonder what the nature of the relationship between Israel and this revived Roman empire or 7th kingdom is. Israel was subjugated by the six empires of the past and they were certainly not mutually beneficial and agreed upon. Will the next one be similar in nature?

    Im trying to think of a reason for this king of the North that comes from the area of the old Roman Empire to sweep across the Middle East conquering and to conquer. All I know is that things at that point must be radically different then they are now.

  20. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Jim,

    The most obvious reason is a war against Islam. I suspect it will be directed mostly against the Shiites. I think the Catholics and the Sunni Muslims will find common ground during the war perhaps through the message of the Mary apparitions. Perhaps some of the small Arab states that were created after WWI will lose their national sovereignty. Thus, no mention of them in the Gog war.

    After the war Israel will make an agreement with the Little Horn from the Northwest and be protected by them for 42 months.

  21. Jim says:

    That could be. Speaking of the Gog war, has there ever been an event that is so hard to place? No matter where you put it it doesn’t seem to fully fit.

  22. joe savio says:

    Yeap, i agree, the most obvious scenario is an ‘all or nothing’ war to consumate Islam’s war with the West once and for all and the strongest Islamic countries are falling : Turkey and Egypt to allow the rise of the Beast from the Sea, just as Roman Legions once dominated the Mediterranean region some 2000 years ago, they are coming back but this time with a highly mechanized War machine led by the Beast mentioned in Revelation

  23. Dawson R Hefner says:

    Don, it would seem you are one of the few that calls it like it is. Many teachers I like simply expect the great reset to take place without resistance. I find that highly unlikely as well. You have written extensively about why before.

    I hate whats happening in our country. It seems unlikely there will be any turning back now. I still wonder if Isaiah 18 applies to us. The chinese and russians have no respect for our government now, they know it is illegitimate.

    I appreciate you as always Don.

    Jim,
    Im not as studied as you and Don on the Ezekiel war, but I wonder if it happens before Israel signs the covenant. The direct evidence of God’s providence being what triggers the 7 year sequence. My reasoning: Throught the Ot God delivered Israel, they knew Him and His character, but they always made alliances with sinful, pagan neighbors anyway.

    Blessings

  24. Jim says:

    Please, I hardly consider myself studied by any means. I believe it has to happen after the rapture but before the return of Christ. That’s as much as I can pin it down.

    Perhaps it occurs in the aftermath of the four horsemen. Widespread famine could make some desperate. Maybe the shaking and hail and fire could be local effects of the 6th seal. Agreement with the AC and building of the temple is the result of the miraculous victory.

  25. Derp says:

    Why does it feel like a good chunk of this happened with Obama and the normalization of gay marriage? It’s almost like it flat out opened the door, just like every church leader said it would.
    Now look where we’re at.

  26. Jim says:

    If there is not persecution of Christians there will certainly be persecution of conservatism here in short order. Already we have two mass shootings the media has inferred to be motivated by Trump. There is even a push to revisit Kavanaugh investigation in an attempt to get him to resign. The left is trying to create as many crisis as possible. Climate, border, guns, Covid, domestic terrorism, etc. The economy may be going downhill too and if not inflation is certainly coming. Very difficult times ahead.

  27. Jennifer says:

    Don, so do you think the first 4 seals (the next Great War) will happen post Rapture?
    Thanks for another great article.
    Jennifer

  28. Brian says:

    Don
    What you have here is an excellent scenario melding current events and Biblical eschatology.

    The ten ‘horns’ confederation does sound very globalist to me, and the ‘little horn’ coming to the fore in open rebellion against three of the ten makes it obvious the Confederation comes into being before the ‘little Horn’ appears on the scene.

    According to 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-5 the Church is removed prior to the little horn’s appearing; “…the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto him”(verse 1) is the Rapture of the Church, BUT “the day of Christ’ (verse 2) is his return to the Mount of Olives seven years after the ‘little horn’ ratifies the covenant with the many, the beginning of Daniel/s seventieth week.

    I believe it is possible the church will be ‘out of here’ even before that confederation is formalised, which would necessitate a year or three between the Rapture and the signing of that covenant.

    A world war is on the cards, but is China really that militarily prepared, or will it include Magog’s invasion from the uttermost parts of the north which would ensure it being a world conflict.

  29. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Jennifer,

    The first four seals are not necessary the very next great war. That is becoming more likely, but there could be a war before that.
    I suppose the Rapture will occur before the opening of the seals, but I would not be dogmatic about it. That timing of the Rapture may only be true if what was said to John in Revelation 4:1 also as an application to the Church.

  30. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Brian,

    China’s silk road project is paving the way for the kings of the east. There are at least three major wars before the end. China will come with the kings of the east late in the great tribulation. She will not come alone. Her military will probably peak in the 2030’s. After that her population rapidly becomes too old to fight such a war.

  31. Michael A. Merola says:

    Hi Don and all. Being Johnny-come-lately here, in a previous post you stated that Islam would never accept Same Sex Marriage, and you are correct. But, I find it interesting that in certain Islamic cultures, specifically Afganistan, it is apparently okey doky for Mohammed, Mustapha and the boys to indulge in sodomy with young male children, known, if Im not mistaken, as Pleasure Boys. That in itself should be enough to convince the lemmings agreeable to Chrislam and other heresies that Islam is a diabolical counterfeit to the One True God. Sadly, Im betting the pulpit pimps will be able to rationalize an excuse for that abominidable behavior. Thats one of the reasons why, after @5-6 years, I still havent been able to find a like minded group of believers to worship or fellowship with, save for sites like yours. And before anyone suggests a Calvery Chapel branch, the last two I checked out are apparently in the camp of having their best life now. Thank God for this site.

  32. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Michael,

    I am sure someone living in the Chicago area can recommend a decent fellowship.

  33. Sharon says:

    I read it from Behold Israel Ps 83 is fulfilled and it should be 1967 war

  34. Don Koenig says:

    Some claim that. In any case, it does not look like it could be the next war.

  35. Jim says:

    I think a major way this “great reset” of the world’s religions comes about is through the rapture. Many true Christians are living in secret to avoid persecution. Once they are taken it will appear to the world that all religions including apparent non religious people disappeared together. It’s easy to see how the end times harlot and a global NWO comes about after such an event.

  36. Derp says:

    I know it’s a couple days late but Happy Resurrection Sunday everyone. AKA happy Easter as commonly labeled (ignoring the pagan aspects that were interjected).

  37. Jim says:

    Many if not most believers who actually hold a futurist literal interpretation of revelation still say these events are for the distant future. Not very many people are expecting Jesus to return in the next couple decades.

    That sort of surprises me as there are many reasons why it can’t be hundreds/thousands of years in the future. You would think these people would know better and be more in tune with the bible and world events.

    Some major problems for a 2nd coming in the far future:

    small self sustaining colonies would likely exist off world. This would allow whole groups of people to escape judgement completely.

    Only one more world empire rules over Israel.

    The 6000 year creation model

    The general agreement of astute believers that time is short.

    Many others mentioned in Dons website…

    The point is that many pastors/teachers are doing a terrible job of preparing their churches for what is likely coming. I’ve never even been to a church that ever had a sermon about the soon coming of Christ.

  38. Don Koenig says:

    Hi Jim,

    I agree with what you said. I think it is because the majority of those that even hold to a futurist literal interpretation of prophecy are actually post millennial and think we are going to first take the world for Christ before the end comes.

    I refer to the many Charismatics and Pentecostals that believe God is going to conquer through those He is supposedly is now gifting. This includes most of the Word of Faith churches and those of the New Apostolic Reformation. They dominate on Christian TV and they influence a lot of pastors who become hooked on their sensationalism.

    The Bible teaches no such concept. These just make things up as the go along by cherry picking OT scriptures, and by believing extra biblical messages delivered from their presumptuous home grown false prophets.

  39. Paul Graham says:

    Hi Don, you must read Arnold Fruchtenbaums Footsteps of Messiah, most teachers are still not getting it quite right. i am sure he is.

    Hi Paul,

    I read Footsteps of Messiah many years ago. I think it is very good, but I do not agree with everything he wrote. By the way, nobody gets every point correct.

    Don,

    If three of the four 2520 year cycles (roughly 2484 in modern solar years) have accurately ended with significant events for Israel then why cant we assume the fourth will as well? It cannot be coincidence that the others have ended very close to 1898, 1948 and 1967. 2039 is the last and final end to the cycle as you know. I see no reason to see why the start of the millenium is at that time rather then 7 years earlier around 2031/2032.

    Hi Jim,

    Yeah, but cycles are only as good as the date, the length of year used, and the event that started the 2520 cycle. It seems to me that a couple of those start dates events are pretty subjective.
