Is the World Falling Apart?

(from Perry Stone, Voice of Evangelism ministries)

Recently on the national news a commentator asked the question, “Is the world falling apart?” He was commenting on the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the revolutions and uprisings in the Middle East, and the economic woes in America. The world is not falling apart, but the nations are experiencing a shaking that will eventually rearrange the world into a division that will open the door in time to come for the Biblical antichrist to take his throne.

The Egyptian revolution was allegedly about “democracy and economic opportunity.” When the dust was settled, there were no more jobs and there were still food shortages. Things became worse after the former President was expelled. When President Obama went on worldwide television and said that President Mubarak should step down, in the eyes of the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Obama actually dishonored the Egyptian President.

We must learn to spend quality time in the presence of God and believe that He is with us and has never left His people, and will continue to be with His people through the good and the bad.

This is something that is seen as the greatest act of disrespect in the Arab world. Since that time, the king of Saudi Arabia has turned his attention to both China and Russia, opening discussions with these two nations. I have read from inside sources that Mubarak has refused to take Obama’s phone calls since his departure from Cairo. There is now a great rift in the Gulf region between the kings of the Gulf and the U.S. administration. By overthrowing the leader of the nation, it creates a huge void and a question about who will take the leader’s place.

As I will be sharing in the weeks ahead in some of our major meetings, I believe this Middle East shaking is going to prepare these nations for the rise of the beast of Biblical prophecy. These nations that are revolting will soon realize that their newly appointed governments will not be successful in solving the problems. Eventually, one man will unite these disillusioned nations with his plan to solve the problems by defeating and conquering what he claims will be the “source” of the problem: Israel and the Jews. Then the world will enter into the time of tribulation predicted by the Biblical prophets.

We have been forewarned about the events occurring in the time of the end, and how that the times will become perilous and men’s heats will fail them for fear of looking after what is coming upon the earth. We must learn to spend quality time in the presence of God and believe that He is with us and has never left His people, and will continue to be with His people through the good and the bad. Always keep the end goal—heaven—on your mind. That thought is enough to encourage even the most discouraged person!
