End Time Prophecies
Joel:
I think this has been going on for about 1,948 years, so how much longer will it continue is my question.
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Joel

"Wars", "Floods", "Earthquakes", etc.
Not that long ago it took three months to travel by ship to North America from England.
2,000 years ago if there were floods and earthquakes all over the world, for the most part no one heard about them unless they lived close to the event. Back then North and South America were not even known to the people that penned these prophecies.
But none-the-less the scriptures said to watch and listen from diverse places.
I've said for years that equal emphasis should be placed on the "hearing" as well as the events.
The fact that this generation can "hear" about these events from anywhere in the world just seconds after they happen makes these prophecies practicable and feasible for the first time ever. IMO.

True, and Jesus didn't say these things never existed, he knew there would come a time we would have access to knowledge in a way never before possible. The Internet came in to existence as a tool in God's hands, to increase knowledge. I believe if we use it under his guidance it's a huge blessing he has given us.
He knew the end from the beginning and declared knowledge would increase, and it has.
The tsunami in Indonesia was on the internet before any media outlet had reported it. I saw it there first, and it was several hours before I found it on any mainstream news outlets.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 (KJV)
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness
Out of respect for not bringing politics into discussion, all I will say, for the first time in my life these scriptures have great significance in our time. I can see this unfolding, does anyone else? I'm mostly focusing on verse 3.

Concordant:
Isa 5:20 Woe to those saying for evil, good, and for good, evil, placing darkness for light and light for darkness, placing bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
This could apply to normalizing homosexuality throughout the world

Normalizing homosexuality is not the same as calling it ‘good’. If the world were calling homosexuality ‘good’ and heterosexuality ‘evil’ then you might be right. But that’s not the case, at least as far as I know.
