The Now Times

Ok so this is something I've been thinking about alot lately and being Halloween I figured it fitting.
 I believe that some of the stuff in Revelation is happening now. Wow, dude, I can hear the groans and see the eye rolls now... not pretty. Do you want your face to stick like that forever? I didn't think so. That said (and because this is my blog and I can write what I want, no one is making you read this) I will take a few posts to look into different areas that I think are reasons/ proofs that we are living in the End Now Times.

Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
29 Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 32 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.

Ever thought about what the heck a wonder is? I think that a wonder is a "I wonder what that is" and it's in the heavens or the sky. So is it a stretch that a wonder could be a UFO? I mean by very definition a UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object. or a Wonder in the Heavens. I mean I'm just saying. Yep, more eye rolling.
Consider these news articles

I could go on. but I wonder what you think. I know this an issue that Christians don't like to talk about. We are uncomfortable with (ironically) the fantastical, the supernatural, and the weird. Don't you find that odd? The Word of God to the "unchurched" Joe Blow is FILLED with fantastical, supernatural, and weird. Just think about Unicorns (Job 39:9-12, Psalm 29:6, Isaiah 34:7 KJV) Dragons or Leviathans (Job 41, Psalms104:26, 74:14 KJV) Giants (Gen.6:4, 2Sam. 21:15-22)Crazy Dreams of Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, John, so on and so on, and then you have ALL of Revelation to contend with.
It seems like most people are ok saying they believe in the Bible and that the whole of Scripture is God breathed and true, but then it seams like they think that "those things" happened "back then" and none of that stuff happens now a days. No no no, that's just uncool. like exorcisms, speaking in tongues, visions, miraculous healing's, raising of the dead, unicorns, dragons and ufos. Hmmm..... it makes one think.
Sorry, back to the point. Whether or not you believe in UFOs you have to admit that the sightings are causing a lot of people to wonder.With the advent of the Internet and youtube lots more people can see speculate and wonder than ever before.
So this is just one reason I think that the End Times are at Now.

Wonderful! I think it's a wonder that someone besides me thinks a wonder is something worth wondering about.

Great post :-)
