ZH: One Day, Tomorrow Won’t Arrive, Paul Craig Roberts: Armageddon


COGwriter

Zero Hedge posted the following:

The time of Armageddon will one day arrive.

But this will not be because of Russia trying to destroy the USA–that is not prophesied (for details check out Russia and Ukraine: Their Origins and Prophesied Future and USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

That is not the scenario that the Bible teaches.

Despite what Republican/Democrat politicians or the media do, “Armageddon” cannot possibly begin prior to 2024, and I believe even that date is too soon.

Why?

Because we have not seen certain signs that Jesus stated or referred to in the Book of Daniel.

Here is something from my article When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? which has the summary of some of those details:

Brief Sequential Prophetic Summary

Since the Great Tribulation cannot happen yet, what are some specific events to look for which occur prior to the Great Tribulation?

The basic sequence is that certain sorrows and troubles will continue (Mark 13:5-8). This is happening.

The ‘peace’ deal of Daniel 9:27 is confirmed. Deals have been proposed, but the biblical one has not yet been made nor confirmed.

A King of the North (who was a ‘prince’ in Daniel 9:27) and a King of the South (Daniel 11:27) will arise. We are seeing the foundations for this now.

Animal sacrifices will begin (cf. Daniel 9:27). (Note: It is possible that the King of the South could rise up prior to Daniel 9:27 or even after the sacrifices resume as could the King of the North).

The gospel then will have been preached enough to the world as a witness for the end to come (Matthew 24:14). This seems to be related to the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28 (see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word).

Jewish sacrifices will be stopped (Daniel 9:27). Some Jews would like to start them now, but the Israeli government will not currently allow it. Europe will reorganize into ten ‘kingdoms’ (not necessarily ten currently existing nations as some have improperly insisted upon and give power the Beast (see Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)–some of this could happen earlier.

The abomination of desolation will then be set up (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14) because of actions of the King of the North (Daniel 9:27; 11:31). The most faithful expect to continue to tell what is happening until they are somehow stopped (cf. Amos 8:11-12; see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word).

A decree is to be issued (Zephaniah 2:1-3) and then the most faithful Philadelphians will ‘fly’ to the wilderness (Revelation 12:14-16) and those in Judea should flee per Jesus’ statements in Matthew 24:15-19 and Mark 13:15-18 (see also There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra). Prior to the time the Great Tribulation starts, the two witnesses will support the work, and near its start, they will get power to do their job (Revelation 11:3; see also Who Are The Two Witnesses?).

Bolstered by the Antichrist, then the Great Tribulation will begin (Matthew 24:21-22; Mark 13:19-20; Daniel 11:39, 12:1b; cf. Habakkuk 2:7-8). This will eliminate the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies as nations (Daniel 11:39; Jeremiah 30:7; Habakkuk 2:7-8; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). The King of the South will shortly later push against the King of the North and get eliminated (Daniel 11:40-43).

About a month or so less than 2 ½ years after the Great Tribulation began, the sixth seal will be opened, there will be a ‘blood moon’ and a darkened sun (Revelation 6:12; Joel 2:30-31; see also Blood Moons and Prophecy), then the 144,000 of Revelation 7:1-8 will be sealed.

Shortly thereafter, the seventh seal will be opened (Revelation 8:1-6) and year long Day of the Lord (Isaiah 34:8) will begin with trumpet blasts, plagues, etc. (Revelation 8-7-13; 9:1-21; 11:13-14). The gathering for Armageddon will begin related to the sixth trumpet blast (Revelation 8:13-19; 16:12-16).

Then at the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:15), Jesus will return to establish the millennial kingdom.

The Great Tribulation should begin about 3 1/2 years after the peace deal (Daniel 9:27) is confirmed, and right after the King of the North tries to proclaim peace and safety (1 Thessalonians 5:3) to throw people off (cf. Daniel 11:24) for his invasion plans.

This, thus shows, that Armageddon will not happen for at least seven years from now.

So, does this mean that there are no real prophetic concerns now?

No.

Consider, for one example, that St. Lucia Prime Minister Allen Chastenet, chairman of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, made some comments this week about the recent hurricanes. He said, “We continue thinking there’s tomorrow. Tomorrow has arrived” (for more information, see ‘Severe storm leaves about 700K without power in Northeast;’ Puerto Rico, Dominica, St. Martins, and Virgin Islands still suffering; Will you consider the St. Lucia Prime Minister’s warning?).

We are in the beginning of sorrows. Sorrows and troubles have begun. That “tomorrow” will affect people outside the Caribbean as well.

Even the ecumenical celebrations related to the 500th anniversary of the Martin Luther’s 95 theses today is further evidence of that (see Ecumenical celebrations of the Protestant Reformation; what about sola Scriptura and the white horse of the Apocalypse?).

US debt is a factor that most do not realize will cause major problems. Michael Snyder wrote the following:

The federal government is now 20.4 trillion dollars in debt, and most Americans don’t seem to care that the economic prosperity that we are enjoying today could be completely destroyed by our exploding national debt.  Over the past decade, the national debt has been growing at a rate of more than 100 million dollars an hour, and this is a debt that all of us owe.  When you break it down, each American citizen’s share of the debt is more than $60,000, and so if you have a family of five your share is more than $300,000.  And when you throw in more than 6 trillion dollars of corporate debt and nearly 13 trillion dollars of consumer debt, it is not inaccurate to say that we are facing a crisis of unprecedented magnitude.

Debt cannot grow much faster than GDP indefinitely.  At some point the bubble bursts, and when it does the pain that the middle class is going to experience is going to be off the charts. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/will-americas-prosperity-be-completely-wiped-out-by-our-growing-debt

It will be more than the middle class of the USA that will be affected by this. Debt will be one reason that the USA will be taken over (Habakkuk 2:6-8).

The world is changing and in ways many do not understand.

Biblical prophecies are coming to pass.

People like Paul Craig Roberts, Allen Chastenet, and Michael Snyder are seeing disasters and the potential for disaster–but are not normally tying them in with scripture.

We who truly believe the Bible in CCOG do have the “sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19). We know that there are sorrows and more troubles coming (Mark 13:5-8), debt will lead to destruction (Habakkuk 2:6-8), and that Armageddon will come one day (Revelation 16:16).

But we also know that Jesus will one day return and establish the millennial Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

Do not over look prophecy.
