A COLLISION COURSE THROUGH HISTORY AND PROPHECY IS THE SUBJECT OF THE 2018 EDITION OF PROPHECY.

The ninth message in a series that started with an article named “Prophecy 2008” is the one that you are now reading. Although the majority of the changes that have occurred in our world have been unfavorable, such as the decision in “Obergefell v. Hodges” regarding marriages between people of the same gender and the numerous policies that have been destructive under the Obama administration, the rest of the world has not fared much better than the United States. Europe is being subjugated by the paganism of Islam, which dates back to the seventh century, while her rich and glorious legacy is being thrown into a trash heap of dread, tyranny, and terror. Liberals, academic snowflakes, and the fake mainstream media of the West continue to buy into the false narrative that Palestine is occupied. The Middle East is a boiling stew of hate for Jews, and the misconception that Palestine is occupied continues to sell well. There has been an increase in the persecution of Christians in almost every nation on the planet, and it has nearly reached the level of a popular trend among those who do not believe in God. The surge in persecution may be somewhat explained by the fact that perversions are at their highest point. A world that is on the verge of extinction and is awash in a sea of depravity does not want anybody to ruin the horrible perversion of all that is legitimate and natural. The occurrences of 2017 were the gasoline that fueled the flames of 2018. The approach to domestic and global policy that President Trump has taken has paved the way for a very different future. Because of the dangers posed by North Korea, we are on the verge of going to war, and 2018 is going to be a year in which we will be on the tip of our seats. According to biblical prophecy, the most important thing that Mr. Trump has done this year is without a doubt the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This is despite the fact that Mr. Trump achieved a big win with the adoption of his tax cuts. As a result of Trump’s decision to initiate full recognition of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, skeptics and doubters have emerged from the shadows. However, this decision has also helped to shed light on the profound ignorance of prophecy that our secularized society is struggling to overcome. In a statement made by Chris Matthews of MSNBC, he said that “crazy evangelical Christians in the South are misinformed about President Trump’s decision to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel because they have “mythical notions, about the ancient city.” In addition, Joy Ann Reid, who works for MSNBC, made fun of the Christian views that are held around Jerusalem and said that they “sound like something out of a book.” It is a sign that unbelievers are completely fulfilling the second coming prophecy, which states that they will all be blissfully ignorant of the events that are about to explode upon them. When the secular media decides that bible prophecy is on the same level as a novel, it is a sign that this is the case. As soon as mainstream media sources begin to link biblical prophecy with a book, the darkness has become all-encompassing. However, this is the same media that came to the conclusion that the life of Hillary Clinton was similar to that of a romance book, as stated by The Washington Post in an article headlined “WaPo beclowns itself by publishing piece on Hillary Clinton as a romance novel heroine.” We do not need to be concerned about entirely disregarding their review of the greatest book in the world and the well stated prophetic truths that it contains if their concept of what would make a good novel is Hillary’s life. Even at its finest, the media is little more than empty fluff, while the Bible has weight. When we want to know what the meaning of second coming prophesies is, we do not resort to the news anchors of the media. In point of fact, there are insufficient numbers of preachers, prophets of the current day, and theologians who can be relied upon to correctly understand these topics. It is possible for every Christian to have a good and solid understanding of the prophesy of the latter day, provided that they do not adhere to the doctrine of preterism, spiritualize, or liberalize the scriptures. There are a great number of well-respected authority on the topic; but, in order to become the next Hal Lindsey, not all of them are qualified. Where is the controversy over the capital of Jerusalem? It is a full and replete series of prophecies and promises that declares Jerusalem belongs to the Jews in no uncertain terms – and it always will. If it were a hidden theme of the Bible, we might want to suppress the enthusiasm about the capital of Jerusalem. However, the Bible is full and replete with these prophecies and promises. The country of Canaan is mentioned in 170 different passages in the Bible. Immediately after that, there are fifty-five guarantees made to the Jewish people that Jerusalem and the land of Israel are theirs without reservation. In conclusion, God explained to them twelve times that his agreement with them to own and occupy Israel, and more especially Jerusalem, was to be eternal, which means that it would remain forever. His covenant was not with Palestinians or Arabs; rather, it was only with the Jewish people. Every single event that takes place in 2018 and beyond is connected to the fact that Jerusalem is now in the possession of Christians. In spite of the fact that the globe and the Arab neighbors who surround it will shout and rage, the covenant will remain intact. Unbeknownst to a world that is struggling with prophetic issues, the price of the covenant will be paid by the Gentiles, both Arab and Russian, who do not have the slightest idea about the authority of scriptures. This is the case regardless of whether or not the covenant is a favorite of the people. It is pre-written history that the conflicts described in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are often discussed. There will be an effort made by Russia, Turkey, Iran, and other countries to reclaim Jerusalem for the Arabs; however, this endeavor will be a failure, and it will result in the loss of a great number of lives, both in Russia and among the Arabs. These are not the forecasts of someone who looks into a crystal ball; rather, they are the assurances of the All-Powerful God, whose advice cannot be overturned by contemporary man, the passage of time, the luck of chance, or the might of extreme force. In 2018, what other things might we anticipate? The renewal of discussions over the construction of a new temple in Jerusalem is going to take place as a direct result of the action taken by Trump to relocate our embassy to Jerusalem. The excess of the LGBT community, particularly in relation to children, will be met with resistance from the general public. There will be more scrutiny in several states about the act of teaching youngsters about LGBT activities and transgenderism in elementary schools. For the course of this year and throughout the whole of the Trump administration, both Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges will be challenged. Abortion and marriages between people of the same gender may seem to be firmly established, but they are not. A great number of individuals will start to see Donald Trump in a different picture. The great animosity that they have for him will gradually evaporate, and they will start to see that he is looking out for the best interests of our country. Children will begin to place God at the center of their lives, despite the fact that godless educators, parents, and public opinion are in the way. This will occur regardless of the fact that individuals who are truly spiritual and conservative will initiate a revival based on biblical teachings. The failure of many traditional denominations will occur concurrently with the emergence of a new church that places its only faith in God and the Bible. A great number of gifted individuals, miracles, and prophets will emerge among them. However, these prophets will not be of the type that foretells prosperity and good times for each and every individual present in a gathering; rather, they will be of the kind that edifies, rebukes, exhorts, and corrections. The globe will continue to dive into every prurient and perverted desire known to man, but in the United States of America, there will be a turning away among many people from the feverish pursuit of all things that are strange and bad. There will be a feeling of urgency that will accompany the numerous new indications that this generation is now witnessing in the prophetic time table. Believers will not remain mute in 2018, but a great number of people will heed the call to become “Watchmen on the wall.” Those who speak of the LORD should not be silent; I have placed guardians on the walls of Jerusalem, which will never be able to maintain their tranquility, whether it is during the day or the night. And do not allow him to rest until he has established Jerusalem and until he has made it a center of adoration throughout the world.
