The Bible is estimated to be 25% to 35% prophecy. Its very specific prophecies

have thus far been 100% accurate.

There is much Bible prophecy that is yet unfulfilled. For example, beginning in chapter four, everything in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is future to us. That is why we are called futurists. We believe that these yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.

It makes sense that the world would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. Here is a list of a few signs or trends that we follow:

• The reemergence of Israel as a nation (Isaiah 66:8).
• International conflict over Israel (Zechariah12:3).
• The alignment of hostile nations against Israel (Ezekiel 38).
• The efforts of Israel to rebuild their Temple (Matthew 24:15).
• Growing apostasy in the Church (Second Timothy 3:1-9).
• Instantaneous global communication (Revelation 11:4).
• The move towards a global government (Revelation 13).
• The move towards a global cashless society, accessed by a personal identifier (Revelation 13).
• An exponential leap in human knowledge (Daniel 12:4).

All of those are trending as never before.

I always give two disclaimers:

1. We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
2. We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build-up to the future Great Tribulation.

A recent news report in Australia noted, “A digital ID system could be operating between governments and the private sector as soon as next year.”

Alex Antic is a Senator for North Australia. He recently said this:

We’ve got Smart City programs being rolled out across the country. Invasive technologies such as facial recognition, cameras, license plate readers, smart light, smart poles, smart cars, smart neighborhoods, smart homes, and smart appliances – all connected to wireless networks and communicating with each other. So what’s wrong with that technology? Isn’t all this is for your safety security and convenience? Isn’t it?

Well let me tell you – your streets are spying on you; your mobile phone is spying on you; your cities are spying on you. You and the infrastructure for future lockdowns is being put into place right now.

Don’t be fooled. You’re being set up to be tracked through your movements and through your digital wallets by handing over your data. You’re handing over the ability to monitor your behavior, which will soon be turned into a social credit score, and once the Central Bank digital currencies are in place you won’t get to spend your money without approval.

Digital ID will soon become a reality in Australia. Eventually you won’t be able to access any government or public services and you won’t be able to travel across borders or access healthcare or the internet without a digital ID.

The stage is being set for the coming of the antichrist.

I mentioned we are futurists. We are also premillennial and pretribulational:

• Premillennial means that Jesus will return to Earth to establish a physical one thousand year kingdom.
• Pretribulation means that Jesus will remove His Church from the Earth before the Great Tribulation that precedes His return as king.

Jesus promised His Church, “I… will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Revelation 3:10).

He keeps us entirely out of those 7yrs by raising deceased Church Age saints, then rapturing “we who are alive and remain.”

When? The return of the Lord for us is imminent. It could happen any time. Nothing needs to occur before Jesus can come for us.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
