The Last Days and the USA Part 1

We are living in what Scripture calls 'the last days' - a period that began after Jesus' ascension and the establishment of the church. Biblical prophecies, particularly from Daniel, reveal God's timeline for human history, showing the succession of empires from Babylon to Rome and beyond, ultimately culminating in Christ's eternal kingdom. The unprecedented pace of technological advancement and globalization we're experiencing today creates conditions that align remarkably with end-time prophecies.Several key developments signal our progression toward the end: increasing globalization that's shrinking the world, technological changes creating dependency, worker shortages partly due to abortion, automation replacing human labor, and a growing cultural delusion rejecting basic truths. These factors are potentially setting the stage for the Antichrist's rise, who will implement a system where no one can buy or sell without his credentials. Other prophesied events include a mass departure from biblical Christianity, increased persecution, the abomination of desolation, and ultimately Christ's return.Despite these troubling signs, believers have the blessed hope of Christ's return, when we will see Him, be like Him, and experience resurrection and eternal victory. Christians should respond by being faithful witnesses empowered by the Holy Spirit, raising children according to God's design, praying for national leaders, voting for righteousness, and seeking deliverance from ungodly influences in our nation, churches, and homes.
