Trends and Mega-Events

When you take clear Trends which fit prophetic patterns of the Bible, and punctuate them with colossal Mega-events, all converging at a single point in history, you come up with Emerging Signs of the Last Days. That is exactly what we have today
Trends: Signs Jesus Is Near

They question, quiet naturally, how any of the events of our day could actually relate to “prophecy-in-the-making” when all they see day after day is the “same-old same-old” events recycled over and over again, ad infinitum.

For instance, in the Mid East, we see on one day strife and violence, and the next day withdrawal of forces and peace overtures, followed the next day by more violence, then calls for peace, etc., etc.

The reaction? Why bother with prophecy. This is a response we must avoid. Peter warns in 2 Peter 3:4 that in the last days there will be a generation of skeptics saying "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."
Don’t fall into this worldly, skeptical form of reasoning.

The key to assessing the Signs of the Last Days is to view history over the long haul— to look at the total scope, or the whole panorama, of historical events. We must then look at world events in two ways.

    The first is to become aware of “Trends.”

    The second is to watch for relevant  “Mega-events.”
