Will we know the hour?
AwesomeSavior:
I took a survey on behalf of indeed.com, the employment website.
Part of the survey involved watching commercials which indeed.com had filmed to promote themselves.
One commercial showed a trans man being interviewed by a trans woman, and the man saying he wanted to be called "they", instead of him or her.
I watched in shock, mouth open. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed in a commercial.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come". INDEED, pun intended. Read 2 Timothy chapter 3! That garbage is here now......

This may not be Matthew 24 but I have seen a huge increase of deadly floods around the world this year. Europe really got hammered just weeks ago. Russia seems to have many more than usual. And Asia, especially China, have been hit very hard. This is hard to watch. Fair warning: https://youtu.be/-6VJ_6FBaw4

I am reminded as well (and as Ray taught us) that most if not all of Revelation is symbolic.
I.E. Rev1:1
--- Quote ---Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
sēmainō
Thayer Definition:
1) to give a sign, to signify, indicate
2) to make known

IIRC Ray also said that like most Christians for most of his life he thought that Revelations was end time prophesy but in later years he no longer believed that as Revelation is to reveal Jesus Christ in us and to us. This goes back to the Lake of Fire series;
Revelation is a book of symbols. http://bible-truths.com/lake1.html
All that being said we can discern the days and times. A movement towards an attempted one world government, totalitarian rule and in general reduced liberties and freedoms. We can see the crumbling of our economic and financial system in the U.S. but the world as a whole and Ray's paper on 911 and the aftermath if the nation failed to repent is almost prophetic;

WHEN IS THE END OF THIS WORLD?
Over the years I have been asked many times whether or not I thought the end of this world was near and the coming of our Lord was at hand? This question is usually asked with reference to some recent happening in the world, such as a war or rumor of wars, bad weather, famine, a new potential disease epidemic, some huge earthquake, volcano, hurricane, or a tsunami. These events are general, and have been with us for thousands of years. So my answer was always pretty much the same: "No, I do not believe that the end of the world is near, but certainly "...now our salvation is nearer than when we believed" (Rom.13:11). But that all changed on "September 11, 2001." This to me was not a "general" catastrophic happening as has been witnessed time and again, but this was a very specific catastrophe unlike anything before it.

We are living in a time of lies and deceit in every realm and there are rough waters ahead. I have been and continue to prepare for what lies ahead and most of all listen to that still, small voice in order not to be lead astray by the myriad of voices most who are trying to bamboozle us.
That being said very little of this should take us by surprise if we've been alert and listening and have been given eyes to see where this is all headed. I tell myself this sometimes several times a day as I witness this mess we are in.
If there was a better way to do it, God would do it that way.
It is enough.

So many people today just accept the things that are happening around them and I've been guilty in the past of bragging that I had a gay friend, as though it meant instant inclusion??? How silly it all seems now! I've had to repent, but for the grace of God.
As to the end times, it's in the air we breath, similar to smelling a rain storm coming just before it pours down.

" for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” " - Ephesians 5:14
Christ is the light, or truth, within us.. giving us the eyes to see/perceive the world for what it is. Calling us from among the dead; the sleepers.
Sadly, many in the world are still asleep. I look around me and think of my family and friends that i've tried to talk to. Trying to no avail to get them to wake up about how deceived we are. Not just in the church, but literally almost everything we've been taught has been a lie.
I see things getting worse and worse, especially here in America, in the coming months/years. Hopefully more people will begin to wake up.
