Out Of The Shadows

​Greetings and welcome back to our series readers. A special thanks for your interest and time. Welcome to our new friends, followers, and readers. The primary goal of our ‘End Times’ series is to share information and prophetic understanding about some of the events and consequences God has planned for the world in order to reveal His plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus.
 
The End Times are God’s final opportunities for humans to enter into a relationship with Him as Father, Son and Spirit. This invitation to everlasting life will be offered until the ‘Mid Tribulation’ point, between the two 3½ year periods of the ‘Tribulation’.
 
We know from prophetic scripture that the 70th week of Israel’s history as a nation will be seven (7) years. During these seven years, many great and terrible events will occur as God attempts to reconcile to Himself those who have yet to believe in His incarnate Son, Jesus/Yashua, who was/is the Christ/Messiah.
 
These last seven years essentially express God’s final “Line in the Sand” that will separate believers in Christ from those who will not or refuse to acknowledge Jesus’ as the Christ/Messiah. God’s specific reason and purpose for sending His Spirit manifested in human form was/is, our salvation. During the Tribulation’s first 3 ½ years God will be encouraging people worldwide to repent and spiritually embrace Jesus. In the second 3½ years God will be specifically dealing with Israel’s original rejection of Jesus as their Messiah with opportunities for ‘born again’ belief in His again revealed messianic identity. Although His attention may be altered God’s goal is to reconcile to Himself all who believe in Christ Jesus.
 
When will these seven years of tribulation start? When the efforts of a man who successfully negotiates a ‘Peace and Security’ treaty between Israel and her enemies is confirmed. This is the spark. The bigger question is, how many years are there between today and the moment this treaty is agreed to and official? We know about the specific events prophesied for those last seven years. But let’s look at unmissable ones that will be evident to everyone before those last seven years arrive.
 
We've been instructed by Jesus and biblical prophets about specific events to be watching for to understand His plan for mankind’s redemptive salvation. If you have seen the charts in our series, “Hidden in Plain View” there are an abundance of activities and consequences ahead in the coming years of trouble, or ‘sorrows.’
 
In those “Hidden in Plain View” charts, you will notice we are currently in the era known as the ‘Pre-Tribulation’ period (or ‘church age’). This “Church Age/Pre-Trib” era started two thousand years ago when Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, died, and was buried only to rise (be resurrected) from the dead. We are living in the remaining years of this Pre-Trib time. Scripture tells us these years lead to God’s ‘Last Call’ for salvation and reconciliation.
 
What is the significance of these “Last Call” years for us? First, we are still able to recognize and heed His warnings. Second, we know many of the prophetic signs, events and activities which will play out on the world stage as God’s redemptive plan moves ever closer to its conclusion.
 
We know End Times populations will experience life in upheaval. Narcissistic chaos, natural and man-made global disruptions and disasters will intensify and become more frequent with each passing season. These will continue unabated until a “Peace and Security” treaty is signed and agreed to. The signing of this treaty is the ultimate definitive action that will ignite the seven years of tribulation’s turmoil for everyone alive.
 
There are two identifiable events to occur as biblically prophesied in the future, which will be unmistakable, unmissable, and undeniable. The order in which these two takes place is not the issue. Know that both will occur and by their manifested reality will make plain the ‘end times’ are close. These two are the “Ezekiel War” and the rebuilding of the “Third Jewish Temple” in Jerusalem.
 
Join me next time for our final episode when we look at these two End Times events which will alert all who are watching.
