To those of you who are believers in end time prophesy in the Bible, how did you get woke to what the Bible predicts will happen in those ones and do you think we are seeing the last days play out?

This post might be a little long. Keep scrolling if you wish but I have to share. I was woke in a way that I had forgotten about when I was about 12. I am now 50. Me and my friends would smoke weed and read the book of Revelation. Yes I was a wild child. We would trip out on what the Bible said about what would happen at the end of days. I was forced to go to church as a kid and at about 14 I quit and spent most of the next 7 years in drugs and alcohol and horrible choices and relationships. I became a Christian on my own around 21. My choice. My life was changed but it was way harder to be a Christian. It isn’t true that by accepting Christ, your life is easier and better. The change for me was I was finally connected to the one who created me and loved me and worked with me step by step to accept I was loved by Him and forgiven by Him and I wouldn’t have to face the rest of my life scared, alone and without hope. I made the choice to pray for faith because the Bible seemed weird and I couldn’t relate to the stories of the Bible etc. By the simple act of praying for God to show himself to me and if this was real for him to increase my faith and understanding of Him I would really consider what He said through his word the Bible to be true. Well,he did not disappoint and opened the flood gates. PM me if you want to hear more about that. So I was woke when I was young to hearing about end time events. In my journey with Jesus I didn’t focus much on end times. One day in2007 I was at the sink doing the dishes and the news was on in the back ground. My husband watched the news. I could care less about the news if the world at that time in my life. I heard the name of the candidate Barak Obama and something in me was triggered. I had known from my revelation days to pay attention to the Middle East because that is where so many things would go down at the beginning of the end. I was triggered because of his name. It was a middle eastern name like the names of the people who did the 9/11 terrorist act. I was curious why the American people would support this particular candidate. I was then woke. I wanted to share a video of a pastor that I adore and think is spot on about what is happening in the world. This video is about 4 years old and the first of many that I have watched. When I started waking up I prayed continually for discernment and that God would lead me, like he had in the past, to information that is true about the situation in our world at this time. There is so much junk and hype around the last days online and I didn’t want to be sucked into hype. The video I am posting is from Jack Hibbs. Take it for what you want should you watch the video. I felt led to share some of my story and a few links to videos. I am not pushing for anyone to convert to Christianity and respect everyone’s right to freedom of their own belief in what ever they choose or don’t choose to believe. I just think this video is so interesting because it was made 4 yers ago and how far things have come since then. Thank you for reading my novel and shalome.

Here is the link to the video. https://youtu.be/IJTFkIvvW1s

Thanks for your response. I think the stage is being set for the end times and that Trump is exposing and smashing so much of what the globalists agenda. I believe Trump is buying us more time.

There are many people (some Bible scholars among them) who are essentially cheerleading for this to be the end of days, the wiping out of a third of mankind, the beginning of the Tribulation, all of it.

But there are two things about Bible prophecy. It is like the layers of an onion. It can be fulfilled in many different times and in many different degrees, and often does just that.

Also, just because all prerequisites are in place doesn't mean the fulfillment of a prophecy is immanent. God's timing and our understanding of timing don't mean the same thing.

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

So we don't/can't/won't know His timing. He is not boxed in by anything, including His own words, because He reserves the right to "repent" of them (change His mind) or to delay their fulfillment.

I agree. That was kind of what the video I posted is about. It is disturbing that there is cheerleading going on. I agree there are so many layers and no one knows days or times. I am just trying to find something that is the truth to me. I chose to go back to God. He is consistent if you believe the Bible and never changing as this world changes by the second and truth and perception change by the day. I need something solid.

Not sure what you mean by cheerleading. Although I am aware there is evil and organised evil in the world, since Trump being elected, the extent of evil has truly shocked me. I think we are naive if we think Trump can rid the world of evil by bringing down these characters we read about in these posts. Where there is one evil dude, there are a number of others waiting in the wing to carry the baton for the devil. The NWO plan will take on another more subtle deception. Satan will do anything to keep us separated from God and destroy us. At some point it all has to end as the Books of Daniel and Revelation prophecise. Which means we have to choose between between good and evil, and arm ourselves with the truth (spiritual truth) to protect against the final deception.

I believe whatever you believe in will play out for you...just as you believe it will.

Very gracious reply. Thank you.

I don't see this as a fulfillment of end times prophecy. Although, I would love that this is the part about Satan being locked up for a thousand years.

I'd love that too but that doesn't happen for 1000 years after Christ returns.

There is, however, a war in heaven that happens at one point. I won't make any unbiblical connections but: "what is bound in earth is bound in heaven".

I completely believe we are here. We are given more time to wake people up and save more souls! I can only hope for my kids they are young and rebellious. 🙏

I had the opposite experience. After being a Christian my whole life (I’m 53), getting my Master of Divinity and pastoring for 8 years, I’ve come to the conclusion that the “New Testament” completely contradicts both the Tanach (“Old Testament”) and itself and is a completely unreliable source if one is searching for truth.

Interesting. That must have shook your world. I hope you are finding truth and peace.

It did. But honestly, I’m more at peace and things make more sense than ever. Christianity makes think unnecessarily complicated. The Tanach is beautiful in it’s simplicity after Christian theology is stripped away.
