In My Opinion...

It has been a favored pattern of mine to list a verse here, and then comment on it. Today, I want to offer something a bit different for me, and even for you readers out there.

I believe we are living in the very last days before the Rapture of the Church, the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ. Several things point to this, in my opinion. First of all, look at what is happening in our country, in regards to Israel. Our leaders (and media) are putting more and more pressure upon Israel to just give it all up, and take whatever Hezbollah and Hamas dishes out to them, like good little boys and girls. It seems if the current administration, and of course the mainstream secular media, had their way, Israel should be content to be on the receiving end of violence, destruction, and all around nastiness. Not to mention the 4.000 rockets launched into Israel from the Gaza strip, or the suicide bombs, or other various forms of destruction that has been wreaked upon them. But even that aside, Israel just elected Benjamin Netanyahuh, a strong leader who is not afraid to lead Israel against Iran or any other enemy, without the United States of America as an ally. Russia is in the process of sending an air defense weapons system to Iran, that is capable of shooting down Israeli planes and drones. But it will take a few months for that to be up and operational, leaving a few months window for Israel to take action against Iran, a country that has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Israel will go alone against Iran in the upcoming months, during this window, in my opinion.

Look at what else is happening in the world. If you know your Bible, you cannot read the headlines and realize that prophecy is coming true right before our eyes. Magog (Russia) has made treaties with Libya and Persia (Iran). Togarmah (Turkey), another Muslim nation, has already been involved in military maneuvers in the Mediterranean. If Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran has vowed to shut down the Straight of Hormuz, through which a lot of oil is shipped. I have read that it would stop up to 20% of the United States' daily consumption, which would lead to gasoline going up to around $20 dollars a barrel. In my opinion, this would give nations of the world an excuse to be upset with Israel, in a military way. This could set the world stage for many things, not excluding the coming Antichrist, and the Battle of Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation.

Meanwhile, back here at home, I heard on the news last week, that Citicorp, the banking giant, just made a deal with the government. The government now owns a large portion of Citibank. And this past weekend, it was reported that AIG was in need of more bailout, so they too made a deal with the government, for the government to purchase $30 billion in stocks. A government owned banking system? There seems to be a pattern here. Interesting, in my opinion.

Things are happening very fast in our world. We are living in the last days, and Jesus Christ is coming soon! Very soon!!! (In my opinion)....
