A Little Insight….
There is SO MUCH going on in the world right now that it is extremely difficult to keep track. It is even harder to synthesize everything and then compare it to Bible prophecy. Here is an article that helped me do both. It is not a definitive article, but it does provide some clues.

Thanks for this Scott. The pace, and complexity of emerging events is indeed dizzying, and with this example of background political/religious jockeying for position and consolidation of power, with all else happening, seems another powerful indicator of the accelerating movement of history downward, toward the approaching ‘rapid final events’.

ps—Your New Yorker reference reminded me that the magazine ran an interesting, and topically related piece on 30 January, 2017, “Doomsday Prep for the Super Rich”, by Evan Osnos.
Ah yes, the Osnos Piece. I read it thoroughly and sent it to a number of friends. Even the secularists among us see that there is an end coming.
As for today’s piece, I find it striking that Trump makes the Pope look so much more the statesman and the reasonable voice on the world stage. Interesting times, indeed.
Witness the inexorable progression of prophecy. Again, what a wonderful time to be alive, in the Lord, and witnessing for Him.
Continue to greatly appreciate, and value, your contributions, and updates.
Here’s a line that caught my attention: “Who would have thought that, on an elemental point of liberal democracy, the United States could take instruction from the white-robed man in Rome?”
I still believe last day events and all the laws and decrees will be driven, first, by a fear. A fear of a future filled with trouble and darkness. Fear turning to paranoia. Paranoid fear turned into laws that seem so irrational at present. But with the stage being set, it should come as no surprise of students of prophecy!
