Critical End Times signs that are pointing to the Rapture of the Church. In this post, we will examine the uptick of 9 top factors in the latest news reports. These 9 factors will bring about a global “reset” for a New World Order. End Times Updates: 9 Signs of the Reset

Sorry, but you are one crazy mixed up dude with no understanding of when the events you list as signs will occur. It seems that you are saying the didtant future will occur in our near future. What hog wash.

I read your 9 points.
They are all just 'birth pangs', similar to what has happened over the last 100 years.

However, I do agree that there is coming very soon, the great 'reset of civilization'. It will be triggered by an attack by an Islamic confederation as described in Psalms 83 and Micah 4:11-12 It will be the fulfilment of Zephaniah 1:14-18; as you quoted.

There will be a One World Govt formed soon after the Lords Day of fiery wrath, as will be needed to restore order and control.
But we Christians will not be a part of it, as we gather and live in all of the holy Land. Ezekiel 34:11-16

What those signs reveal is the coming Antichrist that will play Messiah in Jerusalem. The beginning of sorrows happens prior to the time of great tribulation per our Lord Jesus in Matthew 24. That's where we are in now.

When the peace plan is made for Jerusalem, that is when the final "one week" of Dan.9:27 will start. That will involve the coming Antichrist making that league in Jerusalem, bringing peace. He will claim to be Messiah, and will work great signs and wonders to deceive. So there is to be a great, great contrast between chaos and peace in order to fool the majority of the world into believe the first supernatural Messiah is going to be Christ, but it won't be. Jesus returns to defeat that false Messiah.

The leader of the One World Govt, won't claim or pretend to be the Messiah. Nowhere does the Bible say that.
He will demand worship of himself as God. Revelation 13:11-15 He will sit in the Temple and declare himself to be God. 2 Thess 2:4

You are wrong about that, and are not reading the actual Scripture flow. The coming Antichrist will play The Christ.

Matt 24:23-26
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, "Lo, here is Christ, or there"; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, "Behold, he is in the desert"; go not forth: "behold, he is in the secret chambers"; believe it not.

KJV

I won't even go into the "false Christs" phrase. Just those verses in red are enough that reveals the context Jesus gave there is about a FALSE MESSIAH others will say has come. He said don't believe it.

Now think about that point for a moment. If some come up to you and say, "Lo, here is Christ, or there", then what will you think? Will think that one is talking about a group of many??? Of course not, that would be silly. You will understand that one is actually saying that Jesus has returned! Same thing with the second example.

And the timing our Lord Jesus showed when that will happen...

Matt 24:21-22
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
KJV


That event of the coming spurious Messiah is timed for the end, for the time of great tribulation just prior to Christ's return.

Now consider the "false Christs" event of the 24th verse. It's about the working of "great signs and wonders" that would almost deceive even Christ's very elect.

Where else did we read about a false one coming to work those great signs and wonders at the end? In 2 Thessalonians 2 where Paul warned about a false one coming to sit in a temple in Jerusalem exalting himself as God. Well, just so happens that Jesus Christ IS God. Hebrews 1 tells us that Jesus is the express image of His Person (God).

Where else do we read of a false one working those miracles? In Revelation 13:11 forward about the "another beast" who is to rain fire down from heaven on earth in the sight of men, and work miracles to deceive the whole world with.

Clearly this is not about the many men in past history that have claimed to be Jesus, nor those today who claim it but can't do that miracle working. Our Lord is pointing to a supernatural working by that coming false Messiah.

It is Satan who wants all that for himself. Antichrist is just a smokescreen.

The coming Antichrist will be... Satan himself, here de facto on earth in plain sight. That is why the whole world will be deceived, except those who's names were written in the book of life from the foundation of the earth (Revelation 13:4-8).

Some already know and offer him residence for the last 2500 years. It is not a human born man. It has been a human form for 2500 years. A man with two horns like a lamb, but speaks as a dragon. Not sure why not just called Satan?

OK, some people may think he is their Messiah, but there is nowhere in the Bible that says he will claim to be Jesus.
The Anti-Christ will sit in the Temple and proclaim himself to be God, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, and he will demand worship of himself on pain of death, Revelation 13

That is why it is Satan. But he has been posing as a man since 500 BC. There is a group of humans in each generation that know Satan. But Satan is not revealed first. That is what 2 Thessalonians 2 is all about. God on the throne and the Lamb come down and humanity will see God, before they all know who and what Satan has been doing. Revelation 13 splits Daniel's 70th week in half. The 70th week of days is the week of the Second Coming. It begins on a Sunday around April of 2023. If Satan gets his time, it will only happen during the week of the Second Coming. Daniel 9:27
"He will make a strong covenant with leaders for one week [of years]. For half of the week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”

This covenant between Satan and God would last for one week. It is both 7 years and a week of days. The 7 year part was not known by humans. Satan was not allowed to be revealed, but there would be a peace between God and Satan. God would be opening the Seals of the Lamb's book of life. Then comes the Trumpets and the Thunders. The Second Coming would allow any humans left to see who Satan truly is.

The 8 days of the Second Coming is the time Satan will show to humanity his false peace. Then if God allows, because the church was not prepared, Satan will crash the party, and the last half period of time, 3.5 years will give Satan full control, while God and the Lamb sit and wait till 3.5 years end. Then God sends an angel to release the dragon from the abyss, and the 2 witnesses are killed. It is the last 3.5 days of Second Coming week that: "and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
This destruction are the 7 vials of Revelation poured out on Satan and all who follow him. If the 3.5 years are a reality, then all those who now wear 666 on their foreheads will have the 7 vials poured out on them. All who are then alive on earth will all be slain in the valley of Megiddo at the battle of Armageddon. Two sickles, one in the mouth of Jesus the Lamb, and one with His Angel. Revelation 14:14-20 and Revelation 19. The same event. Chapters 15 and 16 are the vials. Chapters 17 and 18 explain the end of the government known as Egypt, Babylon and the whore of Rome now in Jerusalem.

All these signs happen after the second coming. Many signs have happened in the last 150 years. The only sign left is seal 4 and God Himself on the throne and the Lamb are coming to earth to reap the harvest that Jesus taught in the Gospels. The church should be preparing and reaping the biggest harvest Now, not after Satan comes. It will be too late then.

Satan has the image likeness of 'man' just as flesh man does, and as all... the angels do. The image of 'man' originated with GOD's OWN Image Likeness per Genesis 1. There are false prophets in the Church today that teach against this simple matter written in God's Word, trying to make Satan appear like some Hollywood horror picture monster. He and his angels have the image of 'man' and that is how he will appear on earth when he gets here in our near future.

The fact that Jesus said they will be saying Christ is here, or there, and for His to not believe it, is a CLEAR pointer that false one that's to do the great signs and wonders will be a false Messiah. This is why Dr. James Strong translated Greek pseudochristos to "a spurious Messiah" in the Matthew 24:24 verse instead of the KJV "false Christs" translation.
---------------------------------------
NT:5580
pseudochristos (psyoo-dokh'-ris-tos); from NT:5571 and NT:5547; a spurious Messiah:

KJV - false Christ.
(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)
--------------------------------------

That Matt.24:23-26 example is not the only example that a false one is coming to play Messiah.

The 2 Thessalonians 2:3-9 example is also evidence of a false one coming to sit in the temple at Jerusalem and play God (Jesus).

And the Revelation 13:11-16 revealing about the "another beast", a 2nd beast, a man that symbolically will have 2 horns LIKE a lamb (symbol for Jesus), but speak as a dragon, and will work great signs and miracles in the sight of men, and setup an idol image to fulfill the "abomination of desolation" for the end, also shows this playing of a false Messiah. The setting up of the "image of the beast" represents what the king of Babylon did with setting up a golden image of himself for all to bow to at the sound of the psalter, or be killed. That is the same application at the end of Rev.13 about that 2nd beast, a person, the coming Antichrist false Messiah.

What our Lord Jesus showed about it is that the majority WON'T KNOW who that coming Antichrist will really be. They won't see him as antichrist, they will see him as God. That is why Paul showed in 2 Thess.2 specifically, when he said that false one will exalt himself over all that is CALLED GOD, or THAT IS WORSHIPED. That means a one-world savior type over a one-world religion. That is their plan, and it is a mimic of our Lord Jesus Christ Who is to come and reign over all nations. Even the rider on the white horse in Rev.6 is a mimic of how Jesus returns on a white horse in Rev.19. The symbolic references are just all over the place in God's Word about this coming false Messiah, Apostle Paul even warning about the "another Jesus" in 2 Corinthians 11! Time to get up to speed.
