Global chaos is what will bring into being the last great satanic triumvirate of government, religion, and spiritualism prophesied in the book of Revelation. And nothing will precipitate it more quickly than economic collapse on a global scale. Newsweek points out that Ariel Sharon is running far ahead of Barak in the elections to be held in Israel in February. It is believed that even if Barak and Clinton come up with some feeble, and ineffectual, peace deal, Sharon will still win. And Sharon has stated clearly that when he takes over he will ignore any peace deals of the past.
War seems almost certain.
We have nothing to fear, our salvation in Christ is secure. However, the last great upheavals might affect us less adversely if we are at least partly tuned in to reality.
