AN OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT AND END TIME EVENTS TO COME - PART ONE

There is nothing new under the sun...

“ That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1.9

In the past we have talked about God’s time. God has a cycle of time here on the earth. Our season’s cycle around God’s calendar. That which has been will be again--there is nothing new under the sun. God has a holy, biblical, and prophetic calendar which is His appointed time. As history progresses man becomes more and more sophisticated and falls further and further away from God. To understand the present time we must understand the past.

 
NEW WORLD ORDER - SATAN’S METHOD OF ATTACK
We could say the first new world order was when Satan was cast down from heaven with one third of the angels. Satan’s first job was to rule the earth and bring it into God’s order. Satan became full of himself and thought his beauty and greatness was being compromised by his creator. He rebelled (Ezekiel 28.11-19 and Isaiah 14.12-23) and was cast down to earth. From that time on Satan has been trying to bring about a one world order that is a counterfeit world order to the one that God will establish in the millennial kingdom.

All of man’s history is really Satan attempting to establish a new or one world order that he controls. He is the spirit of the power of the air. He is a broadcaster in the air. He broadcasts his thoughts and plans to the minds of men. Men who have no understanding of the Torah (Bible, laws of God) are influenced by these broadcasts through the air. Just as we are led by God's Spirit, godless men are led by the spirit of the air!

Men who reject God’s word are ruled in their thoughts by Satan’s broadcasts. Satan rebelled from God and he bombards men with his rebellious thoughts. This why it is important to know God’s word. The Torah, the Bible is our plan of battle. We receive God’s broadcast through the air, through His word and Spirit. We answer our accuser through proper use of God's sword--His word.

The first New World Order of men is described in Genesis 11. This is where Nimrod began to build the tower of Babel high into the air. They wanted to reach into the heavens and become as God. They wanted to build a tower that would receive the accuser’s broadcast. This was not God’s appointed time. God confounded them and confused man with different languages. From there the original seventy nations spread out around the earth.

Since that time every generation of man has in some way attempted to create a one world order. We can simplify this the following way:

1. Nimrod and the Tower of Babel 2. Egypt and the Pharaoh’s 3. Later Babylon prior to and during Daniel’s time. 4. Medes and Persians 5. Greeks and Alexander the Great 6. Roman times

This is a very simple breakdown of course. Since Roman times we have had two thousand years of history during which all great kingdom’s desired to rule the known world. The Franks, the Roman Popes, the Muslims, the Hapsburgs, and Nazi Germany are just a few examples. In fact, we live in a very Greco-Roman centric society today. Most of our laws and way of governing are based on Greco-Roman ideas. Even our calendar, which the entire world uses, at least for business and communication, is based on the Roman Gregorian calendar.

God operates according to His calendar, which we have seen before, is Hebrew centric. The more we come to understand God’s calendar and time, the more we will understand what God is doing in the world today and the world which is to come (search this blog for information on God's calendar). We will continue to simplify our history to bring us up to date with today:
 

In the late 1700’s the NWO idea’s began consolidating with a group know as the Illuminati. These idea’s are what are known as Luciferian today. Simply, it is the idea that man can become as God (a deception based on our becoming sons of God) and that Lucifer is the bringer of light to man. Those who live according to this doctrine rebel against all that is truly of God and usually believe in various mythological gods and tales. They believe God cast Satan out of heaven because God was jealous of Lucifer.

There are many secret societies and groups that are heavily into this and they often are populated by what we would call the elitist’s of society. Simply put these people control our financial institutions and politicians. They may not all be involved in secret societies, but they have a common elitist attitude and work through organizations such as the United Nations which promote these ideals.


FINANCIAL CRISES AND WAR
1907 was a year of financial crises in America. J.P. Morgan and his fortune bailed out the country. In 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank was established by the elite bankers to prevent another financial collapse. They decided to take control of the U.S. currency. This law was unconstitutional but it passed congress and the “independent” central bank was authorized into law. Since that time up to today, the US dollar has lost 90% of its value.

In 1914 World War 1 started and afterwards in 1918 the League of Nations (an attempt at one world gov’t) was started. We see financial crises first and then war as the pattern. This pattern can be traced back to the ancient world. First financial crises then war. Look at the fall of the Roman empire as one example.

The 1920’s was the “roaring” decade in which debt and borrowing was highly encouraged. In Germany, where they were burdened with heavy monetary reparations for World War 1, the German Mark collapsed under the weight of these payments. Financial crises. Hitler came to power and waged the Second World War in revenge for the unfair treatment Germany experienced from the first war’s defeat. Once again financial crises and war. In fact the whole world experienced a depression prior to WW 2.

WW 2 started in 1939 and ended in 1945--the year the United Nations was formed. The world was transitioning into a NWO at this time. This transition continues to this day. Since 1945 there have been many financial crises and wars. These events break down society little by little--it takes decades, or millennia, for things to develop in God’s plan.

In 1948 the nation of Israel was founded with the help and blessing of the United Nations. Israel will be the central focus of the end times. Now after 2,000 years there is a Jewish homeland. God is moving toward the fulfillment of His plan. Israel is the fig tree that Jesus spoke about in Matt 24.32-35. End time events will be focused on the Jewish people and Jerusalem.


A BIBLICAL PROPHETIC GENERATION
Let’s take a moment to consider what a generation is according to God. Man considers a generation to be 40 years. Once again we must seek God’s word to find out what God considers a generation to be:

We look for two or three witness to establish a thing. This is what the Torah instructs. In Gen 5.32 we see: Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Then in Gen 7.6: Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

Noah had his sons when he was 500 years old. A hundred years later he entered the ark with his three sons. After the waters subsided Noah’s sons had their children. They birthed the next generation. You say, that’s a little weak. OK, we'll get another witness.

In Gen 15.16 Abraham is told the future of his descendants: God said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions. As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age. Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”

There we see God telling Abraham his descendants will return to Canaan from Egypt in the fourth generation.

One more witness, again to Abraham in Gen 21.5: Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. We see God establishing the next generation through Isaac. This is a biblical covenant generation--100 years! We have three witnesses in the word. God’s generations are 100 years. I like to look at this as God's "prophetic generation" rather than the life span of men.

Now just as a scenario, as an interesting possibility, lets go back to 1948 and the establishment of the nation of Israel. We see Israel as the fig tree in Hosea 9.10: I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, and they became as detestable as that which they loved.

We see God speaking of Israel as the early or green fruit on the fig tree when they were brought out of Egypt. Now in the Song of Solomon we see the groom calling to the bride: The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!” Song 2.13

The Lord is calling his young tender bride, the fig tree with the green or ripe figs, to rise up and come away! Jesus said in Matt 24.34...“This generation shall not pass until all these things come to pass.”

Could this mean the Lord will return some time before 2048? Could all these things be fulfilled in this tender generation of the nation of Israel? I’m not saying it will--I don't date the second coming-but it should encourage us that we are living near the end of the age.

Today we see financial crises and war moving the world towards a one world order. We also see a war on terror that is eroding our personal freedoms in the USA, ie, the Patriot Act and the NDAA bill that was recently signed allowing the president to arrest any American even suspected of terrorism. Our freedoms are being eroded and Americans are unaware.

One more interesting scripture from Hosea 6.1-2: Come, and let us return to the LORD;
For He has torn, but He will heal us; he has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. It has been 2,000 years or two days since the Lord was resurrected from the dead. We are now in the morning of the third day, the 21^st century begins the third day.

The world is moving away from the United States:
