My question is this - Why does Pastors and other preachers always quote the verse 'No one knows the day or the hour", but never quote this verse as we can know how close we are to the rapture by looking at the signs of the days we live in converging all around us:
Luke 12:54-56
54 Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right. 55 When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is. 56 You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.
Your guess is as good as mine. You would have to ask those individual pastors...
I also find it strange that many who claim we can't know ANYTHING about the season or timing of the Lord's return will cite this verse:
"For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night." (1 Thessalonians 5:2)
But then they leave out the verses that follow:
"But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation." (1 Thessalonians 5:4-8)
The Bible clearly states Christians should NOT be in the dark or surprised when the Lord comes like a thief.
Britt, I liked this article you explained your biblical view on the revised Roman Empire and who those 10 world leaders could be. I believe that the world will be split into 10 regions with one leader from each region. I’m thankful as a person with a relationship with Jesus Christ and a follower of the one true King I will be caught up in the clouds to meet our Savior!! That is our blessed hope!! I pray Jesus will continue to bless you and your family. So thankful for people who are not afraid to speak the biblical truth!🙏🏼✝️❤️
Excellent article, Brett. It's all happening and is amazing to see Bible prophecy being fulfilled more and more every day. Jesus is right at the door. Exciting times and a blessing to be living during all of this. Thanks again for your insightful and thorough, as well as educational, article. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Britt for this article. So many scenarios regarding this subject for sure!
I know we can only surmise who these may be, but in the end, knowing who Jesus is, is what really matters! May we be urgently sharing the gospel with those around us. If each of us told one person a day, we would at least plant the seeds!
Hi Britt and Jenny and family, God's blessings for you all.
I really enjoyed this article. I was thinking they (the 10 kings)were technocrats, as I read your thoughts on this, I see now, how your point of view is more correct 👌.
Thanks, Deloris! Even if the 10 kings are heads of state, they can still be technocrats. In fact, I would imagine it's a near certainty the Antichrist government will be a technocratic government given the level of control it exercises over the earth's population. May God bless you!

Perhaps you can elaborate on this?

Maranatha! ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Yes, definitely! While we're commanded to stay awake and be alert, the most important matter for our attention is who Jesus is!
