As we get closer the second coming of Jesus Christ, all peoples on the earth will endure terrible hardships, pain, and misery. Persecution of the people of God will intensify and become almost unbearable.
The churches that are based in Europe will be destroyed. How can I say this? Easy. They are already on the path of destruction. Every day we see church after church accepting the doctrine of the beast, which is accepting homosexuality as normal. Homosexual marriage came straight from the devil.
But destruction? Yes. The Lord said:
Matt 7: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
The churches that He didn't create and aren't actually His Church, will not be able to stand. They will fall.The devil's next move is right in front of us and we can watch it unfold. Cause and effect. He is joining the nations of Europe into one super state.
European super state
This will be the final hangman's noose for the churches of Europe. The German's are already signalling their intent.
What does this mean? Once Europe creates the super state, all the individual states will be accountable to the laws enacted by the EU. The European churches will no longer be protected or exempt from anti-discrimination and hate speech laws. They will be forced by law to accept the homosexual agenda. The Catholic church will have no choice but to accept gay marriage. However, the Catholic leadership can arguably be said to be moving in that direction anyway.The churches in the United States will stand alone in the world. However, many of the churches in the U.S. are voluntarily accepting the homosexual agenda as well.
When the EU begins to act on ultimatums aimed at the churches of Europe, we should expect a large influx of Christian immigrants trying to escape religious persecution.
The great sifting of the wheat from the tares. The wheat will leave and separate themselves from the tares. The true believers will never accept the doctrine of the beast and will leave their homes behind in order to escape it. God sees all, past, present, and future. He plans for His people. God established the United States of America with a divinely inspired Constitution to protect the Church in the last days. To ensure His people all over the world would have an place to escape the beast...if they choose it.
The churches of Europe that would actually oppose the beast, have no protections. They will either accept the devil's marriage doctrine or they will be destroyed under a "stop the hate" banner.
Knowing what you're seeing and being able to understand the direction of the world and why things are happening might help to calm anxieties. So don't be upset when you see these events unfolding. Sodom didn't become "Sodom" over night. The prophesies of the last days have to come to pass and they will. And the world will become a pretty dangerous place as it moves along that path.
Come soon, Lord Jesus.
You think that armageddon is upon us?
I imagine that many people felt the same thing over the ages, especially during war time.
I imagine the Japanese felt it during and after the two nuclear bombs dropped on them, Hiroshima and Nagsaki. Those same Japanese probably thought, "So THIS is how the folks at Pearl Harbor felt."
I think that the people of Asia felt it during the reigns of Genghis Khan and his grandson.
Khan was PARTICULARYLY nasty because he knew that people in the towns he invaded often knew that he was "on his way" and they HID their valuables and daughters.
So the "mighty Mongolian" would RETURN to those same towns he conquered three days later...and there would be even MORE hell to pay.
Historians mark HIM as the greatest killer of humanity. They never say HOW MANY Khan killed but write in PERCENTAGES of the Asian population he annihilated.
He did it all without bombs or guns...one at a time murder.
We are on the brink of Armageddon so He is probably already on this Earth as an infant or young child. JMHO
Hardly, everyone on earth will know when that begins.
But it is amazing to watch how current geo-political events are lining up with Biblical prophesy.
We have not yet reached the reenactment of the days of Noah.
Disagree. The church has survived much worse moral problems, such as slavery/Jim Crow and selling of indulgences.
Since we are sinners, it's a given.
Abraham Lincoln did say:
Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed.
He would know, wouldn't he?
I find myself in complete agreement with you, AP.
You could add "the Borgia family" to that list.
The world is always Sodom because we are all sinners. We can make our own peace with our good Lord.
We can always do that since that is what really counts for our lives in eternity.
[so He is probably already on this Earth as an infant or young child.]
Who?
The Antichrist will be revealed on Earth for 7 years prior to the Return of Jesus Christ; which is when Armageddon occurs.
I’m glad you’re prepping though and watching the signs of the times.
What’s coming up is Ezekiel 38 and the false peace deal that divides Israel. Some believe Psalm 83 war must take place. It sounds a lot like 1973 to me.
Keep looking up.
I think it is a fad. Marriage has no benefit to same-sex couples. On the contrary, it has dozens of pitfalls. That’s why so many hetero couples live together instead.
In about 2 years, same sex marriage will be non-existent.
We are further separating the sheep and the goats.
fyi
In a symbol to the Heavens for answers, sure.
However,
Acts 1:9-11
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Yet when he returned, he came back from the ground not the air, born as a man named John.
The religious experts don't know which way is up. Nothing new there.
"Why stand ye gazing up?" Because in "like manner as you have seen him go" is also the manner in which Elijah went up to heaven and returned: from the ground up.
Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Since the "church" is the Bride of Christ, His body, made up of ALL believers and followers of Jesus Christ, "it" will never be destroyed. Just as the persecution of the Roman Empire upon the first Christians caused it to spread throughout the world and their faith grow stronger, so those who experience the persecution of the ungodly world system today will as well. We will never be destroyed but we will one day be taken out of the world while the great tribulation takes place and the wrath of God is poured out upon the earth and its ungodly inhabitants.
