HOW CLOSE?
PART 8: How to Know?
Will there be a way or method to know and recognize the coming judgments of destruction ahead? Yes. God’s love for you is so great that He is warning us and revealing events we should look for to understand that time is drawing nigh.
He clarifies for the reader and listener who the Antichrist will be, warning us about the individual who will assume the role of Satan’s “apprentice.” It is important to understand that this plan belongs to God. The universe and our world are His creations, and He determines the path and reasoning for spiritual redemption and reconciliation. How can we return to Him as a universal consciousness? His plan for our journey is the provision and method He has established.
Although the ‘spirit of antichrist’ has been with humanity since our beginning. The individual destined to step into that singular prophetic role of antichrist is already here, walking among us. Satan has chosen; the ‘lawless one’ has been approved.
Clues to answer our “How Close” queries have been present for two thousand years. Yet without fulfillment evident, they have remained hidden behind the veil. As deniers and doubters, our essential desire is to know when. When might we expect End Times and Last Days personalities and events to come into being? For if we knew when we would look forward with confidence, not fear, right?
Those times are here, now. Right at the doorstep. Then why is this information so difficult to hear or believe? Our ‘end’ or that of our world is not a thought we want in the forefront of our thinking. If it were, we would need to reconsider our spiritual relationship (if any) with God. What have we done about that relationship up until now? Why do we continue to avoid starting or restarting that relationship based on what we now know or believe? Heavy questions for those mired in daily struggle, occupying our minds and actions. Thoughts of an ‘end’ don’t help. Yet even in our reluctance, preparation is not only ‘key’ but also reassuring.
