Is This the Beginning of the End!

Acts 3:18, “But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

The prophecies by Old Testament prophets concerning the coming of Jesus Christ and what He would suffer were fulfilled perfectly. Jesus was crucified and rose from the grave becoming victorious over death. His disciples saw Him ascend into the heavens where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He will remain there until the time of "restitution of all things." Then the prophecies concerning His second coming with be fulfilled perfectly just as the first advent. 

We are near the “restitution of all things.” The stage is set and the players are taking their places. God is moving the course of human events to the culmination of this age. Current events are a testimony to where we are as we approach the final curtain.

The events of this week have shown the world that the United States is no longer a super power. With arguably the best equipped and trained military in the world, President Obama has abdicated this leadership role to Vladamir Putin and the Russian military.

Any fighting force is only as strong as its leader. We have a president who doesn't have the courage or the virtue to make the difficult choices and stand up for this country and its allies. Since WWII, U.S. foreign policy has been to keep the Russian military out of the Middle East. It appears that President Obama and his administration has handed the Middle East to Russia and Iran on a silver platter. The United States' classification as a super power is no longer valid. The leadership of this country is cowering under rhetorical political dogma just hoping that the U.S. will survive.

Let it be fully understood, Russia and Iran will not stop in the Middle East. The mind set of these “last days” is world domination. That is the goal of the Russian and Iranian leadership. Here is a quote taken from a recent blog post by Joel Rosenberg, “The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that in the "last days" of history, Russia and Iran will form a military alliance to attack Israel from the north. Bible scholars refer to this eschatological conflict, described in Ezekiel 38-39, as the "War of Gog & Magog." Are these sudden and dramatic moves by Moscow and Tehran are simply coincidental, or have prophetic implications?” The entire post is worth reading: Copy and paste https://flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/putin-orders-russian-military-forces-into-combat-in-syria-just-miles-from-northern-border-of-israel-russian-forces-working-closely-with-iran-heres-the-latest/

Another resource worth investigating; “...I am preparing the whole earth, and especially Europe and America. One super power I have cast down, and another I am about to judge...” Lambert prophecy at http://lancelambert.org/

My prayer is that God will open our eyes to understand the significance of current events. God reveal to the Body of Christ the urgency of His message. The world is doomed to eternal darkness except they turn to Jesus Christ in repentance. “Repent ye therefore...” Acts 3:19

More to come later on Gog and Magog.
