TERMINAL DECADE?
TERMINAL DECADE?
We Are Living in The Last Part of The Last Generation?
Text: Matthew 24:3, Matthew 24:30-35
Introduction: “This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled" (Matthew 24:34)? Psalm 90:10, Isaiah 31:5
The Signs of the Times of the Last Generation will be as follows:
I. THE MAJORITY WILL BE OBLIVIOUS TO THE OBVIOUS
Like the days of Noah: Matthew 24:38-39
The same thing is said of Lot’s Day (Luke 17:28-30) Luke 21:25-28
* The re-gathering of the Jews into their homeland (Ezekiel 37:11-13) after thousands of years of God ordained exile.
* The rebirth of Israel as a nation in 1948 (Ezekiel 37:10-14; Isaiah 43:5, 6; 66:7-8) in one day.
* The Arab world will claim they are rightful owners of the land of Israel (Ezekiel 35:5, 10; 36:2, 5).
* The desert land of Israel will bloom again during this last generation (Luke 21:29-31; Isaiah 41:18-21).
* The city of Jerusalem recaptured by Israel 19 years later in 1967 (Zechariah 8:7-8; 12:3).
* A Middle East peace plan with Israel, where Jerusalem is considered a major stumbling block will develop in the last days (Daniel 9:27;
Zechariah 12:3).
* This peace plan with Israel will ultimately have a seven-year time limit (Daniel 9:27).
* The ruins of Israel will be rebuilt (Amos 9:11 &13).
* An eastern nation capable of fielding a 200-million-man army
(Revelation 9:16) will arise during the tribulation period.
* The Euphrates River will be dried up to enable a great army to cross (Revelation 16:12).
* During this generation, man will obtain the ability to view an event simultaneously all over the world (Revelation 11:9-10).
* Russia, Iran, a host of northern African nations, and the surrounding Islamic world will forge an alliance and attack Israel (Ezekiel 38 & 39).
* World leaders will begin talking about world governance as a necessary evil. This will eventually lead to a one world government led by the Antichrist (Revelation 13).
* The temple will be rebuilt (Revelation 11:1, 2; Daniel 9:27).
* The Antichrist will rise up out of the New Roman Empire known today as the European Union (Daniel 9:27).
* In the last days, knowledge will increase dramatically (Daniel 12:4).
* Earthquakes will increase in strength and intensity as we head toward the beginning of the tribulation period (Mark 13:8).
* In the days unrest among the nations will breakout (Mark 13:8) with troubles.
