REVELATION: THE GREAT CONSUMMATION OF ALL THINGS

Posted on by

The Great Consummation of All Things

1. Prelude — The Seven Churches and the Seven Years

In the book of Revelation 2–3, Jesus addresses seven churches, which many believe represent successive stages of the Church Age. Yet, they also prophetically mirror events in the final seven‑year cycle before Jesus returns.

ChurchMeaningParallel in the Final 7 Years
EphesusThe Church that lost its first loveRenewed proclamation of the Gospel — the final call to repentance
SmyrnaThe persecuted ChurchSaints suffering tribulation.God is purifying His church.
PergamumThe compromising ChurchApostasy begins; union of religion and state
ThyatiraThe corrupt ChurchRise of false prophet and spiritual deception
SardisThe dead ChurchSpiritual emptiness and hypocrisy grow worldwide
PhiladelphiaThe faithful ChurchThe true believers promised deliverance — “kept from the hour of trial” (Revelation 3:10)
LaodiceaThe lukewarm ChurchLeft behind to face wrath — “I will spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16)

At the same time, in heaven, Jesus begins to open the seven seals — releasing events on earth that correspond with each year leading up to His visible return.

2. The First Four Years — The Four Horsemen

Seal 1–4 (Revelation 6:1‑8)
As each seal opens, a rider goes forth:

  1. White Horse – the coming world leader promising peace (the Antichrist).
    (Year 1)
  2. Red Horse – war and bloodshed engulf the earth.
    (Year 2)
  3. Black Horse – famine and economic collapse.
    (Year 3)
  4. Pale Horse – death and pestilence follow.
    (Year 4)

During these years, persecution increases and the Church’s faith is tested severely. Many are martyred, and the lines between true and false disciples become clear.

3. The Fifth Seal — The Cry of the Martyrs

“I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain...” Revelation 6:9

Here John sees the souls, not yet resurrected bodies. They have overcome, but the resurrection has not yet occurred.
Their cry — “How long, O Lord?” — sets the stage for divine intervention.
This coincides with the fifth‑year of tribulation and the deep persecution of believers who refuse the mark of the Beast.

4. The Sixth Seal — The Threshold of God’s Wrath and the Rapture

“The great day of their wrath has come.” Revelation 6:12‑17

Cosmic disturbances shake heaven and earth — the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood, the stars falling.
Then comes the great gathering:

“After this I saw a great multitude that no one could number… standing before the throne… clothed in white robes.” Revelation 7:9

The Philadelphia Promise Fulfilled

This multitude represents the raptured saints—the resurrected dead in Christ and living believers taken up together (1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17).
They hold palm branches, the symbol of the Feast of Tabernacles — a prophetic sign of the saints now dwelling with God. The faithful Church is kept from the “hour of trial.”
Jesus calls, and in a moment, “in the twinkling of an eye,” the dead are raised incorruptible, and the living transformed.
He gathers His Bride — the glorified saints — before the trumpet judgments unleash the wrath of God.

5. The Seventh Seal — Trumpets of Wrath

When the seventh seal is opened, there is silence in heaven for half an hour (Revelation 8:1), and then seven trumpets sound.
This marks the beginning of God’s Wrath, distinct from the tribulation of the saints.

For one year and ten days — echoing the duration of Noah’s flood — the Trumpet and Bowl judgments fall upon the unrepentant earth:

  1. Hail and fire devastate vegetation.
  2. A burning mountain turns seas to blood.
  3. Waters become bitter.
  4. Heavens darken, light fades.
  5. Demonic torment released.
  6. Armies of the East advance.
  7. The Kingdom of the world becomes the Kingdom of our Lord (Revelation 11:15).

The Laodicean church, having rejected truth, faces this wrath. Mercy’s door closes for those who refused grace but they still have the opportunity to repent and I am sure many will.

6. The Year of Wrath and the Jubilee Restoration

Just as in Noah’s day, wrath lasts one year and ten days, culminating with the Day of Atonement — symbolic of the Messiah’s return to Israel.
When Jesus descends, it inaugurates the Jubilee Year, the fiftieth — the year of release and restoration.
The land rests, captives are freed, and every inheritance returns to its rightful owner.

“To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” Isaiah 61:2; Luke 4:19

Thus, after the year of wrath, the earth enters its Sabbath rest — the Millennial Reign of Christ.

7. The King Returns and the Age of Jubilee Begins

Heaven opens once more:

“Behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True.” Revelation 19:11

Jesus descends with His glorified saints — the resurrected and raptured Church — to defeat the Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon.

Satan is bound.
The earth is renewed.
Israel is redeemed and restored.
The nations come to Jerusalem year by year to worship the King. (Zechariah 14:16)

And the first year of His glorious reign begins as the Jubilee Year — proclaiming “liberty throughout all the land.” (Leviticus 25:10)

8. Summary of the Prophetic Pattern

7Laodicea / 7th Seal7 (1 yr + 10 days)Trumpet & bowl judgments — the Year of Wrath
ReturnJubilee—Christ’s visible return and Millennial reign

9. Satan’s Rule Has Ended

When seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls are complete, history itself reaches fullness — the divine completion represented by seven.
The old order passes away; the Saints reign with Christ in Jesus Millennial Kingdom

“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’” Revelation 21:5

10. Jesus Millennial Kingdom

Jesus Millennial Kingdom is a transition period so that God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Davidic covenant and the New Covenant can be fulfilled. God has unfinished business with Israel.

“This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:5-6

WHAT SPACEX AND xAI MEAN FOR HUMANS

Posted on by

Elon Musk just merged SpaceX with xAI, and Tesla may be next. This could be the biggest turning point in Tesla’s history.

Imagine Data Centres in Space, even on the moon, powered by solar ( 6 x more effective in space). Hence. solar power in space for energy on earth.

Jo Bhakdi is an economist and tech entrepreneur. He has a YouTube channel covering both Tesla and AGI. Check out his website and community at pioneerlands.org

What does this mean in terms of Biblical history. It is interesting to see this comment in the Book of Daniel where we find many end times prophecies.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4

For Daniel this revelation must have seemed strange as there was no internet, or AI, or cars and planes back in Daniel’s day. But for us it makes good sense. Never before has knowledge increased to the extent it is today with AI. Along with the many other end times signs we can know we are in the last days before the prophesied return of Jesus takes place. Are you ready for what is next on God’s calendar for planet Earth: Jesus Millennial Kingdom. To get prepared can I suggest you go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net where you will find all the information you will need.

BIBLICAL END TIMES LAWLESSNESS

Posted on by

Minnesota: many Americans, understandably shocked, look at the protests, the violence, and the loss of life and point to immediate causes. Some cite fraud and corruption in federally funded social programs, apparently tolerated by state officials. Others point to aggressive enforcement of immigration law that sparked deadly confrontations.

Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The real cause is less obvious because it is far removed from the tragic events we see today in the headlines.

It can be traced back decades to what was called the long march through the institutions — a phrase coined in the late 1960s by Marxist student leader Rudi Dutschke. The phrase deliberately echoed Mao Zedong’s Long March, but Dutschke’s was not a military campaign. It was a cultural and ideological one, measured in decades rather than battles.

The strategy was to transform society not by overthrowing government outright, but by infiltrating its core institutions: universities, primary and secondary education, the media, the courts, and even churches. The objective was to shape what people were taught — what would be considered normal, respectable, and acceptable — so that political outcomes would eventually become inevitable.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) alluded to this reality recently before the British Parliament when he referenced a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

That insight helps explain why the classroom has been central to this long march. Obstacles to Marxist ideology had to be removed or marginalized. It was no accident that prayer and Bible reading were removed from public schools in 1962 and 1963. When God and His word are removed as moral restraints, lawlessness fills the vacuum — and that is the fertile ground in which Marxism takes root and gains power.

Over time, that march has moved beyond institutions and inevitably spilled into the streets. Confrontations like those we’ve seen in Minneapolis — whether involving George Floyd or Alex Pretti — are becoming routine. The rule of law depends on shared moral limits; when those limits erode, force alone cannot restore order.

In the last days, before Jesus returns to restore righteousness, he said that “lawlessness will be increased“

“And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet… and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:7-12

PARALLEL BETWEEN GOD’S INTERVENTION AT BABEL AND JESUS CHRIST’S SECOND COMING

Posted on by

From humanity’s rebellion at Babel to the Redeemer’s return in glory, God is restoring His rightful Kingdom and dwelling place among mankind.

“The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomever He will.” Daniel 4:17

1. The Tower of Babel: The Birth of Human Empire

Passage: Genesis 10–11

  • Babel (Babylon) was humanity’s first political‑religious unity against God’s authority.
  • Nimrod, a mighty hunter and founder of kingdoms (Gen. 10:8–10), embodied the spirit of human self‑rule.
  • Goal: “Let us build us a city and a tower… and let us make us a name” Gen. 11:4.

God’s Response

  • He confused their language, scattering them across the earth (Gen. 11:7–9).
  • The result: multiple nations, each separating from the one rebellious system.
  • Babel becomes the pattern for all anti‑God world empires.

“Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.” Revelation 17:5

2. The Call of Abraham: God’s Counter‑Kingdom

Passage: Genesis 12:1–3

Right after Babel’s scattering, God calls Abraham—His plan shifts from man’s rebellion to divine redemption.

  • A new nation by faith, not by pride.
  • Promise: “In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

This covenant is the seed of Messiah’s Kingdom, showing that God’s method of world blessing is through chosen covenant, not human federation.

3. Israel and the Theocratic Pattern

Passages: Exodus 19:5–6; Deuteronomy 7:6–9

At Sinai, God declares Israel “a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.”

  • Israel becomes a living contrast to Babel’s self‑rule — governed by revealed law, indwelt by God’s presence.
  • The Davidic Covenant later secures the promise of an eternal throne and King (2 Samuel 7:12–16).
  • Prophets foretell a coming descendant of David who will restore all nations under divine rule (Isaiah 9:6–7).

4. The Rise of the Gentile Empires: Echoes of Babel

Passage: Daniel 2; 7; 8

The image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2) and the beasts in Daniel 7 outline four successive world empires:

  1. Babylon — head of gold
  2. Medo‑Persia — chest of silver
  3. Greece — belly of bronze
  4. Rome — legs of iron

Each empire carries Babel’s DNA — attempting global unity without God.
The final phase (ten‑horned kingdom) becomes the revived form of Babylonian arrogance, preparing the stage for the Antichrist.

“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” Revelation 14:8; 18:2

5. The First Coming of Christ: The True King Rejected

Passages: Luke 1:31–33; John 1:11

  • Jesus came announcing: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
  • He fulfilled the prophetic requirements of the Davidic King (Isaiah 9:6–7; Micah 5:2).
  • Yet the world — Jew and Gentile alike — rejected Him, choosing Caesar over Christ (John 19:15).

The world’s rejection of the King parallels Babel’s ancient defiance: man asserting his own authority over God’s.

6. The Church Age: The Kingdom Hidden, Not Absent

Passages: Matthew 13:24–33; Acts 2:1–47

  • The Gospel spreads to all tongues (a reversal of Babel’s confusion at Pentecost).
  • God calls out a people for His name while the nations continue their self‑made systems.
  • The spiritual kingdom operates in hearts, awaiting its physical manifestation when the King returns.

“The kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21

7. The End‑Time Babylon: Global Rebellion Reborn

Passages: Revelation 13; 17–18

  • A final Babylon rises—political, religious, and economic—uniting humanity in false worship under the Antichrist.
  • It mirrors Nimrod’s ancient project: one system, one speech, one power, without God.
  • The false prophet deceives the world, and all who refuse the mark are persecuted.

“All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.” Revelation 13:8

God’s Judgment

  • Babylon’s fall is immediate and total (Rev. 18:8–10).
  • Heaven rejoices: “Alleluia! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” (Rev. 19:6).

8. The Return of Christ: God’s Final Overthrow of Babel

Passages: Revelation 19:11–21; Zechariah 14:3–9

  • Christ returns in glory at Armageddon, destroying the Antichrist and false prophet.
  • Human rebellion — begun at Babel — ends under His sword of truth.
  • Satan is bound a thousand years (Revelation 20:1–3).
  • The King of kings is enthroned in Jerusalem, ruling the nations with a rod of iron (Psalm 2:6–9; Revelation 19:15).

9. The Millennial Kingdom: Babel Reversed, Eden Restored

  • Language, nations, and worship unite under God, not against Him.
  • Jerusalem — once despised — becomes the capital of righteousness (Isaiah 2:2–4).
  • The curse on creation is subdued; the earth blooms again (Isaiah 35:1–6).
  • Every nation comes to worship the true King (Zechariah 14:16–19).

“The LORD will be king over all the earth.” Zechariah 14:9

10. The Eternal State: God’s Design Perfected

Passages: Revelation 21–22

When the thousand years conclude and final judgment falls,
God creates a new heaven and a new earth — the full realization of His kingdom purpose.
Humanity, forever free from sin, serves and reigns with Him eternally.

“His servants shall serve Him… and they shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 22:3–5

ANTI-SEMITISM: HOW IT ENDS

Posted on by

Marxists continue to plug the idea of Communism as the answer to all mankind’s problems – not directly, but indirectly, by criticising every fault and alleged failing of democracy, shaping the minds of university students who are influencing public life, including politics.

Gradually, imperceptibly, crazy ideas – not least, that men could become women and vice versa – took over. Rather than frankly stating that Communism was better than democracy – that the ‘collectivity’ was better than capitalism – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion were set up as laudable goals, and everything and everyone was measured against them.

This stymied opposition – people were reluctant to be accused of being against diversity, inequity and exclusion – but upon it was built a social system that banned a diversity of ideas, promoted inequity, and excluded anyone who dared to disagree.

Any criticism or even attempted debate is now treated as dangerous. Censorship, once the bugbear of the Left, is seen as the way to prevent a ‘return to fascism’ and the horrors of the Holocaust.

Anti-Semitism

And yet, under this leftist domination, the very thing that leftists used to warn against – anti-Semitism – is making a comeback. As noted, the state of Israel, once seen as offering a haven to persecuted Jews worldwide, is now demonised for oppressing Palestinians, and even compared to Nazi Germany in committing genocide against them. The Left has made anti-Zionism respectable, and anti-Semitism is only a step away. Already, the two are beginning to shade into each other. Right-wing ‘influencers’ are suddenly discovering that Hitler was not so bad after all – that he has been misrepresented by Jews, who have a vested interest in demonising him in order to justify their ‘appropriation’ of ‘Palestinian’ land, facilitated in this project by their alleged dominance of the media.

Even while making anti-Semitism respectable, they may warn against a resurgence of Nazism – but the Jews are the new Nazis, after all.

The Holocaust was preceded by a rise in anti-Semitism, and although leftists have routinely attributed anti-Semitism to ‘the Right’, the many patriotic demonstrations have been marked by pro-Israel, pro-Jewish sentiment. In stark contrast, left-wing marches against Israel and ‘Zionists’ have been marked by violent rhetoric.

At this time of year, when once again we celebrate God being born as a man among men – when He chose to become a member of His Chosen People – we would do well to remember how close this world, prompted by Satan and his demons, has come to eliminating His earthly kin.

Fortunately, we do know how this all ends. Jesus returns to Earth to rescue His nation, Israel, and initiate His Millennial Kingdom so that the covenants God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be fully realised. Israel will be the lead nation of the world with its Messiah, Jesus and glorified Saints ruling with a “rod of iron”.

“From His (Jesus) mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:15

HISTORY IS HIS: JESUS WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME

Posted on by

Change, chaos, suffering, and tribulation are real. Scripture never denies that. But Revelation pulls back the curtain to show what governs it all: a sovereign God who stands above history, from Alpha to Omega. Martyn explains why history isn’t random, why suffering isn’t wasted, and why the future is not out of control.

“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.
To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of Him. Even so. Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:3-8

Another great sermon from Martyn Isles on Revelation. Martyn understands we are living in the Biblical end times.

Fear not, God is on His throne, in total control, and all tribulation that Christians face will serve a glorious purpose for us and for Him.

SCOTTISH THEOLOGIAN PETER JAMES FORSYTH ON HOPE AND VICTORY

Posted on by

How good is it to find gems in books by authors you have never heard of. I owned and distributed Christian books for over 30 years. I purchased Christian Press in 1983 but had never heard of Scottish theologian, Peter James Forsyth or his books, The Cruciality of the Cross (1899), The Work of Christ (1910) and The Justification of God (1917) just three gems of over 100 books published.

I give you two quotes from The Justification of God:

“No reason of man can justify God for His treatment of His Son; but whatever does justify it justifies God’s whole providence with the universe, and solves its problem. He so spared not His Son as with Him to give us all things. The true theology of the Cross and its atonement is the solution of the world. There is no other. It is that or none. And that theology is that the Cross is not simply the nadir of Incarnation, but that it is God’s self-offering (under the worst conditions that love could feel for evil man) to His own holy name. The just God is the chief sufferer, and sole Doer. The holy love there is in action everywhere. The most universal thing in the universal Christ is His cross. Everywhere, according to God’s ubiquity, imminence, or what you will, His holy love is invincibly at issue with death, sin, and sorrow. Everywhere is redemption. And that is the only theodicy. The purpose of salvation is the principle of creation; and the ruling power of the world is the purpose of God.“

It is no light problem that faces the Creator in His world. There was never such a fateful experiment as when God trusted man with freedom. But our Christian faith is that He well knew what He was about. He did not do that as a mere adventure, not without knowing that He had the power to remedy any abuse of it that might occur, and to do this by a new creation more mighty, marvellous, and mysterious than the first. He had means to emancipate even freedom, to convert moral freedom, even in its ruin, into spiritual. After the first creation drew on His might, the second taxed his all-might. It revealed His power as moral majesty, as holy omnipotence, most chiefly shown in the mercy that redeems and reconciles. To redeem creation is a more creative act than it was to create it. It is the last thing omnipotence could do. What is omnipotence but the costly and inevitable action of holiness in establishing itself everywhere for ever. The supreme power in the world is not simply the power of a God but of a holy God, upon whose rule all things wait, and may wait long. It is no slack knot that the Saviour has to undo. All the energy of a perverse world in its created freedom pulled on the tangle to tighten it. And its undoing has given the supreme form to all God’s dealing with the world. But at the same time the snarl is not beyond being untied. Man is born to be redeemed. The final key to the first creation is the second; and the first was done with the second in view. If moral freedom is the crown of the first creation, spiritual, holy freedom is the goal of moral; and it is the gift in the second creation. The first creation was the prophecy of the second; the second was the first tragically ‘arrived.’ There was moral resource in the Creator equal to anything that might happen to the creature or by him. And that resource is put forth in Christ — in His overcoming of the world on the Cross, and His new creation of it in the Spirit. All God’s omnipotence is finally there. The great goal is not the mere fruitage of the first creation, but another creation more creative still. The first does not glide into the second; there is a crisis of entirely new departure. (pp. 122-124)

And the book’s final paragraph must also be shared here:

Faith is more than an individual calm; it is the Church’s collective confidence on the scale of the world for the destiny of the world. The evil world will not win at last, because it failed to win at the only time it ever could. It is a vanquished world where men play with devilries. Christ has overcome it. It can make tribulation, but desolation it can never make. (p. 223)

Jesus return to earth to restore righteousness is not too far distant. The many Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. Hallelujah!

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:11-13

GOD IS ABOUT TO HUMBLE AND JUDGE THE WORLD

Posted on by

Bodo Hoenen is a relative new Christian coming from a high level scientific and engineering background. Listen to how he wrestles with the question as to “why there are no clear answers” to many Biblical questions. Moreover, I believe he is right to conclude that God is about to humble and judge the world.

God is using this new Christian to show how much the traditional, institutional churches have departed from the truth of God’s Word, thereby helping many Christians in these churches.

The second video is a great presentation of the gospel message which I will send on to people I know who are open and even searching for truth about the big questions of life. I suggest you do the same.

Bodo shares a deeply personal message, recounting a vivid vision of eternity and a consequential choice. The video explores this vision through introspective reflection and scientific analysis. Prepare for a thought provoking journey into existential question, as well as hear a great presentation of the Gospel message.

AS PROPHESIED GOD IS DRAWING JEWS BACK TO ISRAEL PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN

Posted on by

“Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

In an upscale Tel Aviv neighbourhood – the kind filled with joggers, beach bars and hotels that attract wealthy holidaymakers – Tahli Engel, formerly of Melbourne, tells a story you hear a lot in Israel, and it captures one of the most ­important, but least understood, perspectives emerging from the wars triggered by October 7. “Life in Melbourne, absolutely, was very good,” she says from her living room. But after October 7, 2023, she and her family began to notice “the changes”, as she calls them. The subtle hostility. The growing discomfort with displaying one’s Jewish identity.

They loved Australia and thought about staying for good. And yet – and this is the part we need to understand – they felt a compulsion to return to Israel, to a country in the midst of a catastrophic war. There were many reasons, of course – lifestyle and work opportunities chief among them – but the essence of it all is that her family, somehow, felt safer and stronger here. Let’s be as clear as possible: a quiet but profound shift in the global Jewish consciousness appears to be taking place, one that appears to be reshaping Israel, its diaspora, and which is driven by numerous converging forces that define this moment. The first is paradoxical. 

Australians are driving the cohort that is: their numbers are up 23 per cent, according to the Israel Aliyah Centre, and 87 per cent of the ­emigres are young adults aged ­between 18 and 34.

These aren’t refugees. They’re millennials and Gen Z professionals making a bet about where they can live as fully expressed Jews in the 21st century. Americans are doing the same. So are the British, the Canadians, the French. In other words, citizens from countries where government policy or civil discourse has been hostile enough to Israel or the local Jewish community. Hillel Weinstein, a former university student in Melbourne who moved to Israel last year, puts it bluntly: “I’d see encampments and huge signs saying ‘Free Palestine’ all over university property. I’m like, if this is where I’m studying, this is not a place that I want to be at.” Here, he walks the streets feeling “as safe as I’ve ever been. A lot of people have moved from around the globe to Israel, especially because they just don’t feel safe where they are”. Consider the irony for a moment. Young Jews are fleeing ostensibly peaceful Western ­democracies for a country that just fought a multi-front war and endured the sight of buildings being toppled by Iranian hypersonic missiles, because they feel more secure walking the streets of Tel Aviv than Brunswick or Newtown.

This is just another proof that Biblical end times prophecies can be trusted and that God is control of history.

EVIDENCE FOR THE WORLDWIDE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY AND A YOUNG EARTH

Posted on by

Hugh Ross is trying to rewrite the biblical account of the flood. In this episode of Answers News, the hosts, Bryan Osborne, Avery Foley, and Dr. Terry Mortenson, share their perspectives on this topic as Bible-believing Christians.

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ effectively.

‘Progressive creationists’ like Dr Hugh Ross,2 who insist on interpreting Genesis in the light of man’s theories like the ‘big bang’, and the supposed ‘proof’ of an old earth (billions of years), insist that those who teach a young earth and literal Genesis 1–11 are the ones putting a stumbling block in the way of scientists and others accepting the Gospel message. However, time and time again, we have found that the opposite is true. Compromising Genesis with man’s ideas from outside of Scripture opens the door to this ‘slippery slide of unbelief’. It becomes a major stumbling block to people being receptive to God’s Word and the Gospel. Unbelievers are generally unimpressed when they see Christians clearly evading the obvious meaning of the beginning of God’s Word.

Your faith will be strengthened by listening to Dr Terry Mortenson defend a young earth by presenting the evidence for Noah’s worldwide flood and the billions of dead things buried all over the world including fossil fuels formed from all the vegetation that was buried.

It is important to remember that Jesus spoke of Noah’s flood when he was telling His disciples about His second coming to earth. He believed that Noah’s flood was worldwide killing all but the eight people on the Ark.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:36-39

Moreover, many of the things Jesus said would occur at this time have played out already exactly as He said they would. After Jesus return to earth to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon, His Millennial Kingdom is next on God’s agenda for planet earth.
