By Lou K. Coleman | WSS News Contributor

Open your eyes! Everything is lining up just like Jesus said it would [Mark 13:28-37]. The signs are everywhere! Examine what has happened on the world scene to gain understanding of what it means in the larger context of Bible Prophecy and God’s purpose in history. Study the Book of Revelations for in it, Jesus allowed his disciple John to see many visions. Time after time, John says throughout this book, “And then I saw… “I turned and saw… “I saw…” things that are meant to reveal to God’s people the truth about what’s happening now. Where things are headed, and how they will all play out.

I tell you; The World is Preparing Itself for The Final Fulfillments of God’s Prophecies. What we are watching in today’s world events is more than a historic cycle of political and national interests. We are watching the concluding chapters of human experience leading to the moment when Jesus appears in the glory of his Second Coming. So, Pay Attention! Be alert! Be awake!
