Pay attention to prophecy!

In his update for yesterday, LCG’s Dr. D. Winnail wrote the following:

Pay Attention to Prophecy! Jesus told His disciples to stay alert and watch for the fulfillment of specific prophecies that will mark the approaching end of this age (Matthew 24). He also warned in the parable of the foolish virgins that many will be caught napping and unprepared by the surge of events that will precede the return of Jesus Christ to this earth (Matthew 25:1-13). It is truly amazing how God has given His Church a “more sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19, KJV) in order to be able to warn this world about the true prophetic significance of both current and impending world events—which is part of the mission of the Church of God (Ezekiel 3 and 33). Yet, it is also instructive to see how misguided teachers have ridiculed the Church’s understanding of prophecy and accused members of suffering from “prediction addiction” for being concerned about Bible prophecy. As we see world events building to a prophetic crescendo, let’s make sure that we are also building a closer relationship with God and that we are learning to really live by every word of God (Matthew 4:4) so that we are ready when Jesus Christ returns.

Here at COGwriter, we do pay attention to prophecy. In the past two weeks there have been many articles documenting such prophetic matters of interest such as. Here are ten such items from the past two weeks (items listed in reverse chronological posting order):

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg keeps making the news The German Defense Minister is growing in popularity and even called for Germany to use its military might to defend its economic interests. Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?
France Proclaims a ‘New World’ Financial Order In any new world order, the USA is no longer on top.
EU President Declares End of Nation State, Britain Skeptical The Europeans were told that the idea that they can exist apart from the EU is a lie.
Commission Report Recommends Deep Cuts in Military Spending in 2012 The USA is going to cut its military deeply, which makes it easier for it to be taken over.
Chinese Downgrade US Government Credit Rating! In a prelude to the final fulfillment of Habakkuk 2, the Chinese downgraded the credit-worthiness of the US government and the German Foreign Minister said that the USA has lived on debt too long and needs to change.
QE2: LCG, France, China and the End of the Dollar Quantitative easing was announced and more and more in the international community recognize that this is another step towards the elimination of the USA dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Germany Wants Middle East Peace Deal The Europeans declare that they want to be part of a Middle East peace deal, and that is prophesied in Daniel 9:26-27.
CERN Moving Ahead of Schedule, Now to Smash Lead The world’s leading physics’ project is not an American one–it is a European one that is having success. Its success may allow the Europeans to fulfill Revelation 13:3-4 and other end time prophecies.
Vatican wants peace deal involving Jerusalem The Vatican wants a peace deal that will likely allow it to fulfill both Catholic and biblical prophecies concerning Jerusalem.
UK & France Make Historical Defense Deal, But Brussels Will Call the Shots The UK thinks that making a defense deal with France that Brussels can interfere with will protect it–that is a major mistake. Bible and Catholic prophecy show that the UK will be taken over and divided (Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided?).

Much has been happening, yet most people, simply do not realize that the world is changing and events are lining up with the prophecies of the Bible.

Another item that may be of related interest may include:

Why Prophecy? Because the World Will Not End Next Week Some question or downplay the role of prophecy. This article gives some of the biblical reasons what it is important and explains why the world cannot end for at least 3 1/2 years from now.
