The acceleration in the increase of demonically driven madness in the world is truly astonishing! As the time of the return of the Lord rapidly approaches it is growingly apparent that the devil is in a panic. He most certainly knows that his time is short, indeed it is very, very short!
Only some years ago, the UN had a 2050 plan, the globalists were content to wait for 2050 in order to implement their diabolical materialist "utopia", where man is no more than machine, in order to "save the planet" or some such nonsensical excuse like that. However, in the past decade or two, the pressure to move that date up was becoming obvious and the globalists moved their agenda goal forward to 2030 or earlier. The consequence of this is they have "overplayed their hand", making themselves and their wicked agenda stand out like an infected pustule on society. The Lord did say that the time would be cut short for the sake of the elect. With the monstrous plans the wicked have been executing, it is a good bet that no life would ultimately survive their complete insanity. However, now we face the certainty of a hot war, a global war of such devastation that, once again, if the Lord does not ensure His soon return then nothing may survive. Nevertheless, He is always perfect in all He does, so His timing will be, as always, perfect.
My guess is 2029-2030. There are numerous reasons for this, not the least of which is a scripture in the book of Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2:
Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
Recall that a thousand years is as a day to the Lord, and the six millennia since creation are as the six days of creation with all the activity and turmoil in bringing forth the perfect man in those resurrected in Christ at the end of the sixth and beginning of the seventh millennium, which is to be a "day of rest" for all the Earth. Christ's first appearance was at the beginning of the "fifth day", although Adam was created on the sixth day, but at the end of the "sixth day" Christ returns, which is also the beginning of the "seventh day", and that is the great millennial sabbath, the day of rest for all the earth, and all flesh shall come and worship before Him.
In any case, "two days" since the death and resurrection of Christ in either 29 or 30 AD brings us to 2029 or 2030 AD. Now, prior to about 30 years ago, it was not too obvious to anyone that it would be so simple and, given the gradual progress of prophetic fulfillment it did not seem likely that the Lord's return was imminent except for the fact that Israel was back in the world as a nation, among a few other things. Recall, though, that the Lord said that the time for the completion of all "these things" would be encompassed by a lifespan, indicating that there will be people alive at His return who were born before the politically recognised nation of Israel came back into being. According to some, that would bracket a period of no more than 120 years, but given that the current day average lifespan in much of the world (assuming natural death and not accidents and serious disease) is around 75 to 80 years, and given the mention of the "three score and ten" (i.e. 70) years for a lifetime (in the scripture) then it is not unreasonable to think that, maybe, 2050, although still within 120 years of 1948 when Israel came back, is probably a little too far out. So, as prophetic fulfillments have accelerated greatly since about 30 years ago, my guess is that the devil became increasingly afraid and he began to panic, resulting in moving forward the globalist 2050 goals to 2030 or even 2025. He really wants total power and to be worshipped before it is too late, likely in the hope of wiping out the image of God from the earth before the return of Christ, like the wicked vineyard tenants in one of the Lord's parables who had hoped to "inherit" the land by killing the son of the owner. Every Spirit-filled Christian is a son of the owner of the Earth and an inheritor of the Earth, this whole present situation essentially replicating the events leading up to the execution of the Lord by the leaders of the day in the hope of maintaining their power over the nation.
So, it is little wonder that the godless globalists want to move the goal of global totalitarian government forward in order to enact laws to restrict and, ultimately, destroy all Spirit-filled Christians from the world. Of course, the godless globalists do not see Spirit-filled Christians as anything other than delusional obstructions to their total power but dead people cannot see so there is no reason they can see any truth at all, anyway. Since it became increasingly apparent over the past couple of decades, especially the past decade, that the Lord's return is imminent and likely around 2030, the globalist goal of having their world government fully functioning had to be moved up to meet or beat that date. With the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon people throughout the world over recent years, it is obvious that the "latter rains" are upon us and, along with the dramatic increase in the rate of prophetic fulfillment, increasing revelation of scriptural knowledge and a clearly and rapidly growing divide between "the wheat and the darnel", the devil has been driven into a psychotic rage for he sees his demise a mere few years away which, for someone who has been around for thousands of years, would seem like just a matter of only weeks to us. It is always amazing to me how the Ever Living God uses the compulsive behaviour of the wicked as part of His plan to achieve His goals, the current situation being no different (He uses ALL things for the good of those who love Him). The devil's very action of panic-driven aggression is itself driving the increase in that divide between the righteous and the wicked, exacerbating the conditions leading to his own demise. After all, the nature of sin is to enslave and a slave to sin is a compulsively driven being, one who has lost power over his own will and acts predictably, like a deterministic machine, something which is itself controllable by external forces.
The one question being asked of the world, and the controversy the two witnesses will bring before the world (among various other things including the testimony of the truth with signs and wonders to back them up) is this: "Who do you believe and trust? Man or God?" Most, it seems, choose man. That is sad. We need to show them they are making a bad choice and the only way to do that is to walk in completely confident faith in the Lord, keeping your eyes upon Him like Peter did walking on the water before he averted his gaze on his Lord and began to sink.
We need to walk on the water toward our God, toward the eternal safety of the immovable rock of our faith.
It is not by words that people will see but it is by the observation of real and tangible actions which, if directed according to the plans of the Lord as He guides us, will open the eyes of the lost.
Psalm 60:11 KJV Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
