WORLD NEWS FROM THE PAST:
FORETOLD WOULD HAPPEN AND DID

     For a very long time, the Jews had no homeland. Israel was destroyed approximately 721 B.C.  Judah was destroyed approximately 135 years later. In app. 70 A.D., the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans led by Titus. Most of the Jewish people were dispersed among the nations of the world. For the last 2500 years, approximately fourteen different peoples have possessed the land of Israel. Yet it was believed (because of God’s Word in the Bible) that one day, the Land of Israel would again become the Jewish homeland and nation.
     Then the incredible happened. In 1947, the world news headline read something like this. ON NOV. 29, 1947, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE U.N. APPROVED A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A JEWISH STATE IN PALESTINE.

     In 1948, the world news headline read something like this: ON THE MORNING OF MAY 14, 1948 (THE LAST DAY OF THE BRITISH MANDATE), A MEETING OF THE PEOPLE’S COUNCIL TOOK PLACE IN ISRAEL TO DECIDE ON THE NAME OF THE STATE AND TO FINALIZE THE DECLARATION. AT EXACTLY 4PM, THE PROCLAMATION CEREMONY BEGAN AT THE TEL AVIV MUSEUM. THE 979 HEBREW WORDS OF THE SCROLL OF INDEPENDENCE WERE READ. ALL STOOD AND THE SCROLL WAS ADOPTED. THE NOTORIOUS WHITE PAPER, ISSUED BY THE BRITISH IN 1930 RESTRICTING JEWISH IMMIGRATION, WAS DECLARED NULL AND VOID. MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE’S COUNCIL SIGNED THE PROCLAMATION. DAVID BEN-GURION RAPPED HIS GAVEL, DECLARING, "THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS ESTABLISHED. THIS MEETING IS ENDED." ISRAEL WAS BROUGHT FORTH AS A NATION IN ONE DAY.

     At midnight, the British soldiers and high commissioner would leave. President Truman was swift in announcing U.S. recognition of Israel.
     It was believed (because of God’s Word in the Bible) that sometime after Israel became a nation again that they would eventually have the shekel as their currency. Their currency was originally the Israeli pound. Then the surprise came. In 1980, the world news headline read something like this: UNDER VEIL OF ONE OF THE BEST KEPT SECRETS EVER—OVERNIGHT THE ISRAELI POUND WAS CHANGED TO THE SHEKEL, CATCHING PEOPLE TOTALLY BY SURPRISE.

WORLD NEWS AS IT HAPPENS (RIGHT NOW)

     It was anticipated that Israel would have many problems and troubles with other nations once they became a nation (because of what God’s Word said in the Bible).
     In 1948, the world news headline read something like this: ON MAY 15, ISRAEL WAS ATTACKED BY THE COMBINED FORCES OF EGYPT, SYRIA, LEBANON, JORDAN, AND IRAQ. Since that time there have been other attacks on Israel as well, including the Six-Day War in 1967, the Yom Kippur War in 1973, and the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Besides war, there is the continuing threat of Arab terrorism and the Intifada. As time goes on, world headline news can expect to read with stories like this: ANOTHER BOMB GOES OFF IN JERUSALEM OR TEL AVIV; ISRAELI FORCES UNDER ATTACK ON THE NORTHERN BORDER WITH LEBANON; VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN HEBRON AGAINST JEWISH SETTLERS. Considering the turmoil that surrounds them, life within Israel is quite peaceful at this time. Peace with their neighbors is what Israel has sought from the beginning. How true the words of Scripture, "I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war."

     It is believed that Jerusalem will continue to suffer many difficulties as the struggle continues over its status and who should live where (because of what is written by God in His Word). Expect many more world news headlines concerning Jerusalem in the days ahead.

     It is believed that demonic cult activities will continue worldwide (because of what the Bible says).
     As time goes on, world headline news can be expected to continue with stories of this type. Many will claim to be the Christ or a prophet.

     Expect world news headlines such as the following to also take place in the next few years (because of what God said in the Bible). 
     WORLD HEADLINE NEWS: KNOWLEDGE CONTINUES TO INCREASE; TECHNOLOGICAL BOOM FELT WORLDWIDE.

     WORLD HEADLINE NEWS: SEX ON THE RISE DESPITE AIDS EXPLOSION THAT THREATENS GLOBAL POPULATION.

     WORLD HEADLINE NEWS: GAY LIFESTYLE GAINS WIDESPREAD ACCEPTANCE: LEGAL MEASURES UNDERWAY TO CHARGE OUTSPOKEN OPPONENTS WITH FEDERAL HATE CRIMES

     WORLD HEADLINE NEWS: CHINA'S MILITARY MACHINE CONTINUES TO PROSPER WITH ADVANCED WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT.

     Note to true born-again Christians. Expect your faith in Jesus Christ to be tested as never before. Everything that can be shaken shall be shaken-ref Heb 12:25-27.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE

     Some want to know if the economic boom that is taking place as this is being written (in the year 2000) will continue. The answer is unclear from the Bible. It seems clear from the Revelation that world trade will continue and possibly expand as Rome and its merchants will prosper until it is destroyed during the Tribulation. There was also prosperity in the days of Noah and Lot, which is an indication that prosperity may continue at this time.
     The Bible tells us clearly that knowledge will continue to increase. The Internet may be one of the means to help bring this to pass.
     The Bible does show us that selfishness, pride, covetousness, the love of pleasures, the love of doing evil, and the love of money will continue to increase. People’s love for each other will grow colder and colder, and they will become more and more ungrateful.
     Expect more lying, false accusing, deceit, cheating, pornography, homosexuality, and things that are evil according to God’s Word. Expect more perversion, abusive and insulting language as well as cursing and using God’s name in vain on television and in movies.
     Expect more and more violent computer games, movies, television, and more and more people claiming that this has nothing to do with the way children are becoming or with the direction the world is going.
     Expect children to become more and more rebellious against their parents.
     Expect more and more assaults against religious freedom as well as more persecution against all that seek to follow Jesus and live righteously according to God’s Word.
     Yes, technology will increase, but people will also become increasingly cold and evil.
     Some people will be religious, but not committed to the Jesus of the Bible.
     There is much talk among preachers, television and radio evangelists, etc., that a great world revival is coming. Meanwhile, sin continues to increase just as the Bible said would happen. There was no great revival in the days of Noah and Lot. According to God’s Word, the kind of revival that brings a person to their knees in true repentance, and brokenness, crying out to God in humbleness is not coming at this time. There will indeed be a revival, but it will be during the first part of the Tribulation, and many of those that come to Jesus will be killed by being beheaded. The talk of revival is very popular. People love to hear it. It is all part of the many deceptions that have arisen in this latter day generation.

******************************************************

     The Bible is more relevant than today’s newspaper or TV news and certainly more reliable. Regretfully, correct understanding of the Bible in this generation is not always accurate just as news media reporting is often inaccurate.
     It is written, 1 Cor 16:9-FOR A GREAT DOOR AND EFFECTUAL IS OPENED UNTO ME, AND THERE ARE MANY ADVERSARIES. Lukewarm does not understand or agree with hot. It wants to remain comfortable and lukewarm. It often does not want to be corrected. Yet God’s Word tells us of the lukewarm: Rev 3:16,17,22-SO THEN BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM…I WILL SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH. THOU…KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART WRETCHED, AND MISERABLE, AND POOR, AND BLIND, AND NAKED. Verse 19 speaks of THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS. God tells the lukewarm to ANOINT THINE EYES WITH EYESALVE, THAT THOU MAYEST SEE. 19-BE ZEALOUS THEREFORE, AND REPENT. There is no life apart from REPENTANCE UNTO LIFE-Acts 11:18.
     HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES.

Please pray for us. Adversaries are many. Those that love us are few.
