Please Read 2 Peter 1:19 - Why would Peter counsel us this way? Well he knew that Jesus mandated his followers to "keep on the watch". The apostle Paul also urges us to "keep our eyes . . . on the things unseen." Why! EARTHSHAKING events will soon occur in our life-time. The fulfillment of Bible prophecies confirms this fact.
One event is mentioned in (1 Thessalonians 5:3-Please READ) Here, Paul draws attention to "Jehovah’s day." The period that will start with the destruction of false religion and will end in the war of Armageddon.
So, as we can appreciate from 1Thessalonians 5:3, when world leaders including the clergy are saying "Peace and security!" That historical development will indicate that Jehovah’s day is to begin.
What event will take place next?
Paul mentions : "then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them." Revelation 17:16 highlights the first phase of this "sudden destruction".
That attack against all forms of false religion, including Christendom, is the start of the "great tribulation."
It appears, that, after false religion has been destroyed, God’s servants will become the object of an all-out assault by "many peoples." (Ezekiel 38:14-19.) God’s prophetic Word describes that development as the attack by Gog of Magog.
What earthshaking event will be triggered by that attack on Jehovah’s servants?
By means of Jesus and the heavenly armies, Jehovah will intervene, That intervention on behalf of His people, will be "the war of the great day of God the Almighty"—Armageddon.
What will the nations do then?
Just as, the ancient Egyptian attackers who pursued the Israelites at the Red Sea, the nations will be forced to acknowledge Jehovah when they attack his servants.(Ezekiel 38:23)
How close are we to the start of this chain of events?
A prophecy in the book of Daniel enables us to establish where we are in the stream of time. Daniel describes an image in human form made up of different metals. The metals, represents successive world powers that have had a major influence on God’s people, past and present.
The same prophecy indicates that God’s Kingdom, pictured by a large stone, was cut from the mountain of Jehovah’s sovereignty in 1914. That stone is now hurtling toward its target—the feet of the image. At Armageddon, the feet and the rest of the image will be smashed. (Daniel 2:44)
After these event, when all wickedness is gone, a new chapter in life—Christ’s Millennial Reign, Under Messianic Rule, Gods Kingdom will take progressive steps to undo all the damage done to the humans family and our home, planet (Earth).
The Thousand Year Reign will bring about the fulfillment of the heartwarming promise by Jehovah God: "I am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart."
What a glorious future awaits all of us. Although the grand blessings are yet "unseen", keeping them clearly in mind will help us to focus on what truly is important in our lives, in these critical times.
