Matthew 24:4-8NKJ

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Jesus didn’t leave us in the dark in regard to the “season” or approximate time of His soon return. In fact He plainly stated that the nearness of His coming would be clearly discernible.

Paul prophesied that the end-time events would be similar to a woman in childbirth. And the signs of Christ are happening just like that! (Example: in the 19th century we’ve seen a 21,000% increase in notable earthquakes and a 500 to 700% increase in tornados.)

Jesus clearly identifies where this persecution will originate. It will come from a lamblike (or Christlike) nation that will turn 180° into a dragon supporting, persecuting power.

It seems hard to believe that the United States could ever be a persecuting power simply over matters of faith. But the prophecies that clearly identify the lamblike beast leave no room for doubt as to the final prediction. The US will even seek to enforce a death decree for everyone who will not worship according to the dictates of the Papacy.

The Jews were to wear blue in their tassels to remind them of God’s commandments. Blue was the color that was missing on the fallen woman’s garments. And now these same command- ments are being ignored by the United States with the encouragement of apostate protestantism.
