Tipping Points, America, the Middle East and What the World is Really on the Brink Of

There is danger in the air. You can feel it. The world is at a tipping point: “the crisis stage in a process, when a significant change takes place.”

So what could the significant change be?

Is it that America will be no more? Indeed, it seems the USA is in a downward spiral only made worse by corrupt politicians and their followers. Is that the significant change the world is on the brink of?

Or is it that the Middle East will completely explode into chaos? It’s already there. The so-called “Arab spring” has really become an “Israeli winter” as more and more of the nations in that part of the world descend towards anarchy / evil religious rule and call for an end to the Jewish state. Is that the significant change the world is on the brink of?

My answer to each of these questions is: No and no. Neither of these are the “significant change” the world is on the brink of. It’s much, MUCH bigger than that.

And it’s not that America won’t become a shell of what she once was or that the Iranians (and others) won’t attack Israel.

But there’s really something else that the world is on the brink of that I expect isn’t at the top of many people’s minds. (Matthew 25:1-13)

And I don’t know exactly how we get here, but we do. (We really do!) What I’m talking about is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself who died on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures ~ listen!! ~ He will stand again with His own two feet on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. (He really will!) (Zechariah 14:4)

This is the significant change the world is on the brink of.

Wow.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.” (Psalm 46:1-2a)
