Sorry to all my loyal readers, all six of you or so, for the way to extended holiday break. We'll try to get back to being more consistent here. It's early in 2012, but it is already shaping up to be an interesting year.
Every single day seems to bring us closer to a military confrontation between Iran and Israel. Iran is getting closer to having a bomb. No amount of sanctions or diplomacy will deter them from their objective. The big question for Israel and Iran in 2012 is, "When will the tipping point be reached and Israel feels they have to take action against Iran?" Such a confrontation will greatly accelerate the prophetic timeline.
Another issue for 2012 is the global economy. Financial experts agree the economy of the world is in a fragile state. A deteriorating economy helps bring about the conditions for a one-world-currency/economic system, which will be part of the Antichrist's kingdom. The eroding of the global economy brings us closer to that day.
A third issue for the year is the what happens with the United States. Will the U.S. support Israel if they deem a preemptive strike on Iran is needed? How the U.S. handles Israel could play tremendously into what happens in her future. Also, there is the matter of the 2012 presidential election. Will the U.S. want to avoid confrontation, and prevent Israel from having confrontation with Iran during an election year? How does this affect our policy? What will the winner of the November election's policy toward Israel be?
Couple with all of that the approaching date of 12/21/12, the date many believe the Mayan long count calendar predicts will be the "end of the world." I do not believe there is anything to fear with that date, but as it draws closer and people in the world take on an apocalyptic mindset, it will be an excellent opportunity for the church to share the Gospel.
Whatever happens in 2012, at the end of the year we will be one year closer to rapture of the church. As the year progresses we'll bring you links to news articles demonstrating we are living in the last days and commentary on them.
God bless and have a great 2012.
