Flashpoint of Prophecy

Israel has been a focal point of God’s prophetic fulfillment for ages. For instance, our
Jewish tour guide directed our attention to a massive pile of stones by the old temple,
explaining how these very rocks were tossed down by the Romans in ad 70, unwittingly
fulfilling the prophecy Jesus made in ad 30: “I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon
another, that shall not be thrown down” (Matthew 24:2).

We also saw the location of the golden gate, the one Jesus passed through during His
triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Today it is walled up, fulfilling the promise of Ezekiel
44:2: “This gate shall be shut … because the Lord God of Israel has entered by it.” Amen!

It was exhilarating to stand in so many places where Bible prophecy became
historical fact—and to be reminded that every word of prophecy in Scripture will come
to pass. Soon and very soon, a powerful religious confederacy will rise up and enforce
false worship, persecuting the saints because they keep God’s commandments and have
the Spirit of Prophecy—just as Revelation foretells.

And it is our solemn and awesome responsibility as God’s people to share these
truths with everyone. I know you agree that we have no time to waste!

The Devil’s Deceptive Doctrines

But as natural disasters (volcanoes, floods, earthquakes) and wars and rumors of
war (Syria, Iran, Israel) mount up, Satan has twisted people’s understanding of last-day
prophecy. The devil’s deceptive doctrines about a “secret rapture” and the rebuilding
of a third temple are blinding people to the truth right before their eyes. Prominent
Evangelical leaders have proclaimed that the opening of the new U.S. embassy is
evidence for the approaching secret rapture and a third temple, where they say the
antichrist will eventually be enthroned, fulfilling 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4:

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling
away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, … who opposes and exalts himself above
all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God,
showing himself that he is God.”

Little do they realize, the man of sin has already taken his place on the throne
of God’s temple, His church, claiming to be God! And once more, Protestant
denominations are eagerly reaching across the gulf to unite with the him.

The pope recently called for prayers to Mary, the “Queen of Peace,” for the unity of
the church and for peace in the Middle East—and spiritualism is still rising among North
American Christians. Who will warn deceived souls of these dangers?
