End Time Themes Converging This Christmas Season

The world impasse continues on as coalition talks between Netanyahu and his rival Benny Gantz are once again faltering.  There is no clear path forward, whether by rotating the office of prime minister, holding a third election, or even holding direct elections for that office as some are proposing.  In the United States, Democrats are preparing articles of impeachment against President Trump.  And in the United Kingdom, the future of Brexit is still up in the air pending the December 12th elections.

However, we may see some major give in these things very soon:

1. Polls indicate that Prime Minister Boris Johnson may win the snap elections next week, which would result in Brexit occurring on January 31st.  Over three years of "Brexit limbo" may finally come to an end—and we can only guess what the domino effects will be.

2. Avigdor Lieberman has expressed slight interest in joining Netanyahu for a short-term right-wing government, and there is growing talk of pushing through an immunity bill in the Knesset that could insulate Netanyahu from indictments.

3. Rumors are growing that the Israeli government may very soon annex the Jordan Valley, which in and of itself would be of prophetic significance on par with the Six-Day War in 1967 or the Nation-State Law last year.

4. Public support for impeachment has essentially flipped since last month and several Democrats in the House have announced their intention to vote against their colleagues.  If 10 or so others, who reside in Trump-friendly districts, break with their party, then articles of impeachment will fail.

5. Simultaneously, the Global Spring continues to grow as the Hong Kong protests, which resulted in pro-democracy forces dominating citywide elections, have now spread to mainland China; and the protests in Iran may be spilling over into revolution.

Finally, #6 is the big "if".  Will Trump finally unveil the peace plan, recognizing that they can no longer wait for coalition talks to resolve in Israel (in light of the nearness of next Fall's elections)?  Or is it possible that this prophetic time-bomb is being misread?

Consider for a moment the possibility that Trump may actually have no intention of pushing a two-state solution.  What if all the peace plan talk has been a head fake to stall for time, allowing Israel to subsume more and more of its God-given territory?  After all, Trump recognized Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, and cut aid to the Palestinian Authority.  It would certainly be in character for how Trump has conducted his other negotiations—à la immigration, China trade talks, etc.  Is it possible that he is God's man for the hour, to set the stage for the Tribulation?

We've been proposing a basic outline of current events as follows: first, a peace plan is unveiled that if agreed to will establish a Palestinian State, thus dividing the land; second, the rapture occurs prior to implementation, causing global chaos; third, the antichrist arrives on the world scene and confirms/strengthens the previously unveiled plan and the land is actually divided.

What if the prophetic plan is a bit different?  Perhaps Israel finally annexes the Jordan Valley and key settlement blocks in Judea and Samaria, while diplomatically shielded by the Trump Administration.  Israel would then largely be at the same extent as the united Kingdom under David—and there would still be no Palestinian State.  Then, once Israel reaches its maximum achievable territory (without actually exiling Palestinians from their enclaves), the Jewish people let out a collective gasp of "peace and security," and then—rapture.  From that point forward, things might proceed as we expect, with war launched against Israel by its surrounding neighbors and the antichrist confirming a covenant in the aftermath.  It should be noted that Israel isn't subdued until the midpoint of the Tribulation when the antichrist marches into Jerusalem in league with an army of nations.  It's at that point that the land is forcefully divided and the most cataclysmic period of the Day of the LORD begins.

It's no coincidence that we see themes of the end of the age fast approaching this Christmas season.  On November 8th, the aptly named "Last Christmas" was released in theaters:

And on December 20th, the final movie in the Star Wars saga will be released, which will be full of Balaamic messaging as I discussed this past April:

In terms of heavenly signs, on the day after Christmas an annular solar eclipse will begin in the Middle East and traverse across southern Asia, exactly 3 x 33 days before the historic Venus-Pleiades conjunction on April 3rd.  Remember, the Great American Eclipse occurred 33 days before the Revelation 12 Sign.

Furthermore, Christmas Day 2019 will be exactly 726,000 days after the Triumphal Entry if Christ was crucified in 32 AD.  Alphabetized, the 726th Greek word in the New Testament is harpazo (a.k.a. "rapture").  This is by no means to say that the rapture occurs on Christmas this year, but only that we see yet another bit of evidence that we are getting closer than ever before.

Finally, today, December 7th, the German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke passed away into the arms of our LORD Jesus Christ.  While not as well known in American circles as Billy Graham, he was every bit as influential.  He founded Christ For All Nations in 1974 and through his nearly 50 years of ministry, led as many as 80 million people to faith, primarily in Africa.  He died just four months short of his 80th birthday.  Might this have been another subtle sign of "if by strength 80" in Psalm 90:10?  (And don't forget, as I mentioned in a previous article, the Prime Minister of Israel is currently 70 and the President is 80.  What are the chances this would coincide with 2019–2020, Psalm 90:10, and the Fig Tree Generation, right as all these signs converge?)

Remember also, Billy Graham passed away just last year.  Bonnke and Graham likely shared the gospel with more people directly than any other men in history.  To put that in perspective, the two men who evangelized the most in all of history just recently died, one last year and one this year, right on the cusp of 2020 and this incredible convergence of signs we are witnessing—and just since the Revelation 12 Sign.

Many other of the most influential watchmen and gospel preachers from the 20th and 21st centuries have also passed on this very decade: Grant Jeffrey (May 11, 2012), Chuck Smith (October 3, 2013), Dwight Pentecost (April 28, 2014), Chuck Missler (May 1, 2018), and others.

The time is at hand, dear friends.  Look up, for your redemption draws nigh.
