Signs of the times

3. The emergence of Iran and their hatred of Israel
4. The demise of the USA as a superpower
5. The perversion in culture
6. Apostasy – the falling away of the truth

“No scholar of academic substance denies that Jesus lived over 2,000
years ago and we find three times as many prophecies in the Bible
relating to His second coming – the second advent of our Lord is three
times as certain as His first coming which can be verified as historical
fact.” Tim LaHaye

1. Israel is the geographical center of the world

2. Israel is the spiritual center of the world

3. Israel is the prophetical center of the world

4. Israel is the political center of the world

“Without the existence of the nation of Israel we would not be able to say
with certainty that we are in the last days. That single event, more than
any other event, is the most prominent sign that we are living in the final
moment before the coming of Jesus. The Hebrew people have been called
God’s timepiece of the ages.” Milton Lindberg
