The Bible accurately foretells specific events – in precise detail – sometimes even centuries before they occur.

Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible. About 2000, or 80%, have already been fulfilled to the letter, with no errors.

Because we know that the remaining 500 or so prophecies will definitely be fulfilled, we look for news, and trends, that you’d expect to be taking place.

You might call them the signs of the times.

There are yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies that towards the end of the current timeline, before the coming of the Lord, there will be a one-world government.

It’s not just students of prophecy who believe that.  I was sent an article titled, Without a ‘world government’ technology will destroy us, says Stephen Hawking.

Excerpts:

Stephen Hawking has warned that technology needs to be controlled in order to prevent it from destroying the human race.

The world-renowned physicist, who has spoken out about the dangers of artificial intelligence in the past, believes we need to establish a way of identifying threats quickly, before they have a chance to escalate.

“Since civilization began, aggression has been useful inasmuch as it has definite survival advantages,” he told The Times.

“Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason.”

He suggests that “some form of world government” could be ideal for the job…

“All this may sound a bit doom-laden,” he said, “but I am an optimist. I think the human race will rise to meet these challenges.”

A one-world government is coming.  Probably not for the reasons Dr. Hawking suggests, but statements like his are definitely what you’d expect from your reading the Bible.

While we look at the signs of the times, we’re not looking for any particular sign before the Lord can return.  Jesus promised He’d come in the clouds to resurrect the dead in Christ, and rapture living believers.

There are no prophecies needing to be fulfilled prior to the rapture.  It is presented in the Bible as an imminent event.

Are you ready for the rapture?  If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.  Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
