Are we Running Out of Normal?

 It's just gotten so bizarre so quickly!  It all came like a flood!  Suddenly we've reached a place where people are protesting free speech on college campuses and in social media.  How is that possible in America that was founded on free speech?  

How about the fact that a 14 year old boy wanted to get a tattoo he wouldn't be allowed to get one in any state in America.  Why?  Because the states have all recognized that you don't let little kids make permanent decisions...BUT...if that same boy wanted to have his penis cut off and have a vagina carved out of his crotch, then millions of Americans say, "For sure!"

How about all these crazy pronouns that people are coming up with.  Why should the rest of us have to be forced to learn their lunatic language of THEY/THEM, ZEM/ZIR?  And how many genders are the colleges listing on their student applications?

Will we ever get back to normal?  Don't hold your breath. 

In spite of the long wait, I'm convinced that Jesus' appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.

I have compiled a list of 12 signs that tell us we are rapidly running out of normal.

If you are weary of waiting and long for the day when you will meet Jesus in the air, I am writing to encourage you; He's coming soon.

If you doubt that the Rapture will happen anytime soon, please take some time to review the following points:

1. ISRAEL'S MIRACULOUS REBIRTH AS A NATION

Did you know that Isaac Newton predicted that Israel would reappear as a nation? Based on his in-depth study of the books of Daniel and Revelation, he made that startling prediction over 250 years before it happened.

2. THIRD TEMPLE FEVER

Scripture tells us that the antichrist will defile a still future Jewish temple (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). In a recent article, The Biblical Necessity of a Third Jewish Temple, I demonstrate why the building of the third Jewish temple is a necessity for the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

3. KICKING AND READY

In October, I wrote Globalism, War, Economic Turmoil, Devaluing Human Life -- The Day of The Lord Is Looming. In it, I provided evidence for just how close the world is to the conditions described in Revelation 6:1-8. These verses describe what's commonly referred to as the "four riders of the Apocalypse." They are kicking in their stall, ready to start their trek across the planet.

4. DIGITAL CURRENCY

If people can buy and sell goods on a cash basis, it would be impossible for the antichrist to control commerce in the way that Revelation 13:16-18 predicts.

5. DIGITAL HEALTH PASSPORTS

At the November 2022 meeting of G20 nations in Indonesia, leaders of the largest economies in the world agreed to work together to implement a "digital health passport" that will begin by tracking everyone's vaccine status and expand from there.

6. MARK OF THE BEAST TECHNOLOGY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, along with the development of gigantic computer databases, also makes today unique from any other previous time in history.

7. IS IT REALLY HUMAN?

How will the coming man of lawlessness exercise the complete control over the earth's population such as we see in Revelation 13 and elsewhere in Scripture? The answer is transhumanism. 

8. THE SOON ARRIVAL OF ONE-WORLD GOVERNANCE

The books of Daniel and Revelation predict that in the last days a worldwide government will exist and that for a short time, the antichrist will rule over it (Daniel 7:23-25 8:18-26; Revelation 13:1-18).

9. THE WORSHIP OF CREATION RATHER THAN THE CREATOR

In the book of Revelation, we see the presence of a one-world religion under the leadership of the false prophet. 

10. WHEN THE WORLD WOBBLES

Since 2001, the earth's magnetic north pole has been moving. An article on the Forbes Magazine website, Earth's Magnetic North Pole Is Shifting Dramatically From A Powerful Tug Of War, discussed how this shift has speeded up in recent years. 

Why do I include this in the list of 12 signs? It's because of warnings of what happens when the pole shift may reach forty degrees. That's the point at which the north and south poles will swap places. 

11. YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT DO YOU?

2 Peter 3:2-4 says that scoffers will arise in the "last days" that will mock our hope in Jesus' soon return. Jude 17-18 also warns of "scoffers" that will come in the last days that will ridicule our hope.

12. PERILOUS TIMES ON STERIODS ARE HERE

We live during a time of perilous times on steroids. While the characteristics of this that Paul lists in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 have always been evident in some ways since the time he wrote, they now define our world just as the apostle said they would in the last days.

Here;  12 Signs The World Is Running Out Of Normal (prophecynewswatch.com)

In discussions with other believing friends we are all concluding that "the things of this world are growing strangely dim."  Things aren't quite as shiny as they once were.  We can see where this whole disaster is going when the entire world is led by godless leaders, political and spiritual.  I don't know about you but I'm kind of getting eager to go to the party that Jesus has been planning and then return to a remade earth to rule and reign with him for 1000 years!  Satan will be bound and Jesus will rule the humans still in their un-glorified bodies, with a rod of iron.  Plus we will get to examine God's creation up close like we never have!  Pet a hippo, cuddle with a cobra or brush a wolf even!
