Are End Times Arriving Soon

Posted on by

STOP, READ, THINK, EXPLORE MORE

If you are political, material and wealth-centric, focused on current day events and do not think a religious perspective has any relevance, then you need to read this blog post. Or, if you are religious but bent on politics, nationalism, and not so focused on core biblical principles, then then you need to step back and look at the big picture and what you supposedly (superficially)  think you believe is biblical. 

RELEVANT INFORMATION

The concept of End Times comes through mainly in two books of Scripture. One is written in Hebrew and Aramaic, that is the writings of Daniel. The second is the writings of John and the title in Greek is ‘apocalypsis’ which in English is translated revelation. What is revealed in both of these writings needs your attention today. If you wish to read a comprehensive writing that ties together these two author’s writings, we suggest Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s book (Footsteps of the Messiah).   

One focal point of what Daniel and John write is a series of events that do give a chronology of events that characterize the biblical end of an era. Some keys words would be ‘false religion,’ ‘political nationalism,’ ‘lawless leadership,’ and a lack of loving your neighbor and a lack of truly lifting one’s heart to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

LAWLESS LEADER(S)

What does that timeline reveal? One theme is a lawless leader who takes a primary role that is ungodly and worldly—that would be a leader who opposes what is Messianic and biblical. But not just one leader would be lawless and if you see any politicians today who disregard what is law abiding and common sense—yet autocratic, dictatorial, and disrespects citizens of a nation and the entire world—then you are looking straight into the eyes of one or more leading us all into the end of the era called the End Times.

TURNING AGAINST ISRAEL

The chronology of end events comes with a multiple facets. One is a seven year treaty that will come and seemingly solves the dilemma in Israel—might that be a two state solution or anything that promises peace in the Middle East. Second, the traditional Jewish support of a temple in Jerusalem will lead to building a third temple and suggests the revitalization of animal sacrifices even though the Jewish Messiah has already satisfied this need of a sacrificial system. Third, another worldly religious system (possibly based on a current ‘other religion’ or some materialistic based belief system) will arise. Might this come about because the world shifts and the experience is more than religion, but may also be pushed by stress on a planet undergoing environmental and ecological change. Global, including climate, change causes stress today and only seems to be worse in time to come.

NATIONS FALTER EACH AND EVERY DAY 

One thing to be aware of is the totality of humanity is not focused on love or true solutions to planet-wide problems. Fossil fuel loving promotion (for example) counters the factors that lead to climate temperature change—but climate change is much more than just temperature and includes loss of species globally. Scientific data regarding change is not political and demonstrates real change. Yet politicians and power seeking leaders today work against global unity to solve problems. Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines are all noted in Scripture as to what leads into signs for the coming of the End Times. The United Nations meets in New York, and yet nations work against one another, regionally or singularly due to their nationalistic philosophy, self centered goals, and political motives.

TIME TO STUDY AND LOOK AHEAD

For persons alive today, regardless of your politics, economics, religious, or other beliefs, there is a need to look at the biblical chronology and then take a look at what you see in the news today. Social media can be helpful or misleading, but one thing is certain, during the end of this era everyone will be able to stream video of live events and witness exactly what the End Times chronology of events as have already been described by Daniel and John. Regardless of what you have thought to this point in time … YOU have the opportunity to explore the writings and see how relevant the revelation truly is and then YOU can wake up to what is coming.

WINDOW on CHANGE and the FUTURE

Posted on by

To be objective means to look at information, current events, and come to conclusions that avoid false assumptions, bias, or misguided opinions. WindowView.org has a goal of pulling multiple perspectives into view—mainly based on Science and Scripture. 

If you take a look, can you see the direction humanity is headed today? 

Here are a few thoughts on change in the world today—and ask yourself what the future holds.

First, in 2022, a world leader insulted a neighboring nation by invasion, killing citizens, and destroying jobs, homes, schools, and economy. This one person’s decision is padded with lies and a false motive for personal gain and historical reptation. A world leader who lies violates God’s will, as seen by reading the entirety of Proverbs 6 (but especially verses 12 to 19, where lying is specified as one of seven issues the Lord hates!). And these verses tell us what ultimately will become of a leader who lies, deceives, and resists truth, harmony, and humility. And note that the Bible speaks to is there will one day be “wars and rumors of war,” and now we see that is TODAY. One is at war, others are threatening war.

Second, concerning climate change, links to several newer sources have been added to the Window’s Change section. While we recognize climate change denial occurs, typically this is due to political, philosophic, economic, or simply a lack of objectivity. But the data, studies, and ongoing observations all reveal change is real. We also recognize that multiple change factors are going to continually stress humanity and reveal how nations and cultures prevent the possible long-term survival of humanity.  Survival on Earth is in jeopardy! The United Nations is a place to see how un-united humanity really is! Click on the image below and take a look at the reports linked at this WindowView page. And you can click on the image below to read the WindowView Thesis on Change!

Third, regarding change and a biblical view, we have recommended a specific book regarding the timeline and events that lead to the end of this age. Students who read all the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures are able to assemble all the pieces (past events and future events in passages of prophecy). In fact, a man named Daniel wrote a text some five hundred years before the Jewish Messiah arrived. In that text was a timeline date indicating exactly when the Messiah would appear a first time. But beyond that, Daniel describes events yet to come. Then some six hundred years later a man named John wrote another text that surprisingly compliments Daniel’s writings. The two texts are like puzzle pieces that are needed to complete the overall big picture. These two writings illustrate a Harmony that if you take time to look and explore then your eyes and heart will be opened like never before.

And the real question is: “What will you decide about your life and the future?”

Is there more to life than living today?

The short answer is: “Yes (and there is a promise in Scripture that affirms there is more to this life)!”

In recent time updates are starting to appear in various places across the WindowView web site. This will continue into the near future because so much new information needs to be added and older out-of-date material needs to be dropped or entirely modified. Incredibly, the original intent of WindowView only gets more and more validated by new developments in the realms of science and scripture.

Bible, Earthquakes, Science Data in View

Posted on by

Previously we cited a series of serious earthquakes (see blog post: Science Data, Current Events, and Nature as Biblical Indicators, March 11, 2011) that prominently made a resonating note with the following scriptural statement declaed in the Bible:

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. “(Mark 13:8 NKJV)

What the Messianic Writings are referring to involve events leading up to Messiah’s return to Israel.

The illustration below reveals how active the planet is in recent time. You can visit the original article with the graphic shown below. ( http://www.livescience.com/21284-world-earthquakes-map.html )

To be clear, earthquakes alone don’t make the linkage complete, but then ARE you looking at how this relates to ALL the other signs we can see in the daily news. The most remarkable point to add here is how nations are building a swell of momentum in opposition to the mere existence of Israel. There is war elsewhere, too. There are serious troubles, globally, in the areas of economics, environment, and human relations. And famine is local to where ever you live, someone nearby, in even the most affluent areas … is hungry. All of this contributes HUGE pieces of significant evidence to complete the picture. Are you seeing what the Window reveals?

The reason for WindowView is to get you to LOOK at the science and scriptural evidence that are right in front of you. And if you don’t know what the Bible says … then read it for yourself! Most people let others tell them what to think without thinking for themselves. What kind of person are you? What does the evidence tell you?
