One of the main objectives of our Understand The Times ministry is to monitor the news from a biblical perspective. We post articles on our web site so subscribers can see how relevant the Bible is in providing vital insights that help explain current events as well to analyze how these events line up with Bible prophecy. Such a ministry is not very popular today. Since Christianity and the Bible has come under attack by postmodernists, many so-called pastors scoff at the relevance of scripture. Their agenda is to cause people to doubt the Bible rather than believe the Word of God is the Word of God. Every week we publish a Weekly News In Review. This is a summation of the articles we have posted on our site the previous week. At the end of every year we choose twenty-five of the best articles and post a Year End News in Review. This involves scanning over fifty-two Weekly News in Reviews consisting of multiple hundreds of articles posted during the year gleaned from various news agencies. I would like to challenge any person who claims the Bible is irrelevant for our times to do the same. My personal experience when I reviewed the articles for the entire year to make this year’s Year End Review was shocking. Several volunteers helped our ministry during the year by scanning the news and posting the articles on our web site. I was not always “hands on” to see the articles as they were posted. However, as I scanned all the articles for this year over a period of a couple of days, I was totally overwhelmed. How could skeptics be skeptics of the relevancy of the Bible if they were to seriously consider the facts? Countless articles throughout the year define the technology being developed to set up a global monetary system that will lay the groundwork for a cashless society in the Last Days. Those who have read and studied this scenario found in the Book of Revelation, chapter 13 can see what is coming. Then we see another trend in the news typically understood from insights found in the Bible. Today mankind seems bent on manipulating the future by tinkering with life through cloning and genetic engineering. Human genes and animal genes are being spliced together with the potential of making hybrids of monstrous proportions. As the Bible states in Genesis chapter 11, “whatever man imagines to do, he can do, he will do”. This humanistic attitude is one of the reasons why God judged mankind at the Tower of Babel. Further, the nation Israel is in the news on a daily basis. Anti-Semitism in Europe is now on an equivalent with the days of Nazi Germany. The Arab world constantly schemes for ways to wipe Israel off the map. The very countries the Bible foretells will come against Israel in the Last Days are presently aligned. Again what God stated would happen to the nation of Israel in the Last Days is happening. There are countless other trends, but time and space limits me to just one more. While apostasy is rampant and impacts every church or denomination that once believed in the sufficiency of the Scriptures, the coming One World Religion that will form the counterfeit bride in the name of Christ is unfolding precisely as the Scriptures warn. Religions are coming together for the cause of peace with a form of Christianity that denies the authenticity of the Bible. The religion of the antichrist is being prepared in our time. As Jesus said: “when you see these things unfold, look up.” If you are a Christian, your redemption draws nigh. |
