Age of Gentiles is About Over

Here is just one other prophecy watcher who believes that the AGE OF THE GENTILES is about over.

It is my belief that this age of the Gentiles, this age of grace, is near its end, and following are some reasons why I think that.

First of all, Jesus aid, in Luke 21:28, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near,” just after He gave a whole list of cataclysmic events that will come upon the world so that men’s hearts will fail them for fear.

The Great Deceiver, whose goal is to lull everyone to sleep and unaware of eternal danger ahead, has come up with “man-made climate change” to explain it all. It was once called “global warming” until the heavy snow storms came upon us in the middle of the outcry of concern for global warming with melting of the icebergs and rising of ocean levels that would overcome the land masses.

In that list of stormy events Jesus said there would be earthquakes in different places, places that were not previously normal for them to be experienced. Ravaging hurricanes, ice storms, tornados with devastating effect have been happening.

The statement He made next, however, gives us the “times and seasons” in which these things would appear. He spoke, in Luke 21:29-32 in parable form, that the blossoming of the fig tree—a type of or identity of the nation of Israel—would mark the time of the end. Note His words:

“Then He spoke to them a parable: ‘Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.’”

If He meant the generation which heard Him say that, as perhaps some might want to argue, then you and I would never have been born. No, He was talking of the generation which would see the return of Israel to its place as a nation among the nations. This happened on May 14, 1948, sixty-nine years ago. How long is a generation in God’s timetable? Psalm 90:10 gives us a clue:

“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.”

(This last part reminds me of that old faithful gospel song, “I’ll Fly Away” and probably is the source of that title.)

When He says “all things take place,” it is clear that He means the final seven years that are called the Tribulation period, for it ends with Jesus coming to the earth to reign as King of kings on earth for a thousand years. (See Revelation 20.)

Based on the accumulation of years since the rebirth of Israel, we are in the range of months only until Jesus comes in the Rapture of the saints.

As you look at the daily news with violence everywhere, marriage and the family in turmoil, the Gospel message being perverted, Israel back in the promised land and surrounded by enemies, quakes happening in strange places...we really SHOULDN'T be surprised if the trumpet were to blow today, tomorrow, next month or next year.

Of course we don't know when our lives will be asked of us....but we shouldn't be surprised if THIS GENERATION gets to hear the Trumpet call of God.

1 Thess. 5
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
