Every prophetic truth in Revelations was a drama that John saw. Nothing proves the literalness of this book more perfectly. John did not just hears words, but heard and saw the drama of what he heard. You have to be unaware of the Bible to doubt this great Book of Revelation. John saw the Rapture in Chapter four. He saw the Tribulation and Judgments begin in Chapters six and now sees the Marriage Supper in Chapters nineteen.
Nothing makes the promises of God more beautiful than Satan’s drive to defile and debauch them. Everything in God’s world, and especially His plans for the Biblical future, has been attacked by the devil. That’s what the devil is, an imitator and substitute showman that belittles the breathtaking future of the Kingdom of God. Satan’s drive to portray himself as God has never produced one thing but proof that he is a “god,” the idiot god, clearly headed for defeat. All that is ugly and dark is soon to be judged and burned with fire. The glorious church, redeemed and glorified, shall not miss the coming hour of His glory.

The lack of rain, entrenched poverty, and lack of investments by other nations has pushed 12 million Africans into a fight for survival in the Triangle of Hunger where the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia come together causing thousands of families to walk for days in search for food. Thirsty livestock are dying by the thousands and food prices, which are at an all time record high across the world, have resulted in food prices rising beyond what families can afford in the African triangle.
Africans from Somalia, desperate for food, are overrunning the world’s largest refugee camp located in Kenya as 10,000 new refugees per week flee violence and hunger in their country resulting in a human tragedy of unimaginable proportions.

Israel to recapture the city of Jerusalem eight months before The Great Tribulation ends! But first let’s understand the unquestionable right of Israel to their land and their Capitol of Jerusalem. It is set in the infallible Scripture that the Throne of David will be occupied by Jesus Christ during the Millennium and Israel will possess the entire land promised to Abraham. This will not occur because of Israel’s Military prowess but by the intervention of God’s Shekinah. Zechariah gave us this prophecy by an Angel from God.
“And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory (SHEKINAH) in the midst of her.”(Zechariah 2:4-5)
Jehovah God will guarantee Israel’s perfect mastery of the Middle East.

“Jerusalem is the center of our cosmos!” It is the city that was chosen by the Lord to be central for all His Revelations. It is either coveted or hated by every religious expression. No one can ignore Jerusalem. Zechariah, speaking for the Lord Himself, said,
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:2-3)
It is the eternal city. The Psalmist David sums up his revelation of future Jerusalem. By divine wisdom, he sees a place where the King and the Golden City seem to become indistinguishable.

I wrote the following for Nearing Midnight March 7 of this year, under the title, "End Times–The Bottom Line":
Global economic chaos is driving the distress and perplexity of the nations of planet earth. The words of the greatest of all prophets, Jesus Christ, echo in cavernous reverberation with each succeeding news report from the capitals of earth’s monetary centers. “And there shall be…upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25b).
Jesus’ Olivet Discourse spoke to conditions exponentially moved beyond norms. In other words, the “distress” and “perplexity” that nations will be experiencing as His Second Coming nears will be beyond any ever known by people of earth. And, in biblical terms, “seas and waves” refer to the masses of peoples. Jesus said that because there will be unprecedented distress and perplexity among the nations, the peoples populating those nations will be “roaring.”

In his great novel about the French Revolution, called A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens began his story with some of the most memorable words in all of English literature:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…
These words have never been truer than they are today. Everywhere we look, in every direction, the world appears to be falling apart.
