PROPHECIES
CONCERNING THE LAST DAYS
For those of you who
do not have a Bible, I highly
recommend that you get one. As we
near the Return of Christ, alot of
things are going to happen that will
literally shake this world. All of
the answers are in the Bible....so
get one.
1. Increase of wars
and rumors of war -Joel 3:9-10;
& Matt. 24:6-7
"You will be hearing of wars
and rumors of wars. See that you are
not frightened, for those things must
take place, but that is not yet the
end. For nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
and in various places there will be
famines and earthquakes."
Greek term ethnos,
"nations", is used in
Matthew 24. Therefore, many conflicts
between tribes and ethnic groups
world-wide will be experienced during
the end times. Such tragedies have
recently occured in Armenia, Rwanda,
Zaire, Burundi, Tanzania, Sri Lanka,
Georgia, Northern Iran, Mexico,
Tibet, Cambodia, and Bosnia.
"Peace, peace, but there is
no peace!" (Jeremiah 6:14).
Since the Berlin Wall came down in
November 1989, global conflicts have
doubled according to the National
Defense Council Foundation
headquartered in Washinton, D.C. In
year the wall came down there were 35
conflicts, in 1995 there were 71.
Suitcase Nuclear Bombs… A
respected Russian scientist and
former adviser to President Boris
Yeltsin said on October 2, 1997 that
Moscow secretly developed nuclear
"suitcase bombs" under KGB
orders in the 1970s specifically for
terrorist purposes. Alexei Yablokov,
who served on the Russian National
Security Council, contradicted
statements by Russian officials
denying the existence of the weapons
and buttressed claims that many of
them have gone missing.
Former Russian National Security
Adviser General Alexander Lebed
alleged that up to 100 portable
bombs, made up to look like
suitcases, were unaccounted for since
the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union.
According to Lebed, who has agreed to
testify before the House committee
later this month, the devices have an
explosive capacity of one
kiloton—the equivalent of 1,000
tons of TNT — can be activated
by a single person and could kill as
many as 100,000 people.
2. Extreme
materialism -2 Tim. 3:1-2; &
Rev. 3:14-19
3. Lawlessness
- Ps. 78:8; & Prov. 30:11-14; 2
Tim. 3:2-3
Lawlessness and
violence (Matthew 24:12)
"Because
lawlessness is increased, most
people's love will grow cold."
In spite of the fact that fewer than
four of every 10 crimes are reported
in America in the last 30 years there
has been a 560% increase in violent
crime in America. In 1992, an
estimated 6.6 million Americans were
victims of violent crimes. A murder
is reported to the police every 21
minutes.
More than 70,000 women are sexually
assaulted every year in the United
States. Sexual assault is the fasting
growing violent crime occurring to a
women every 45 seconds.
Doctors in the United States perform
over 1.5 million abortions per
year... that's one for every two live
births. Over 99% of all U.S.
abortions have nothing to do with the
life or health of the women - they
are done simply because of her desire
for convenience, absence of distress,
and so-called happiness of the
mother.
Breakdown of Marriage: America has
the highest incidence of divorce in
the Western industrialized nations.
Families are disintegrating: Child
abuse is at epidemic proportions.
Youth in trouble: Youth gangs have
for years been a problem in Los
Angeles, where they account for about
half of the city's murders. But gangs
are now responsible for 41 percent of
the homicides in Omaha, Nebraska;
drive-by shootings are up 3,000
percent in Wichita, Kansas; and
Oklahoma City is home to 80 separate
gangs. Violent street gangs are now
operating in 94 percent of all medium
and large-sized cities.
Drug use among America's teens has
doubled since 1992.
