Jude 2

In an article on CNN's website today entitled "Putin: Financial crisis is 'perfect storm'," Putin was quoted as saying that it was time to "do away with virtual money" and establish an "economy of real values" grounded in a "just and efficient global economic architecture."

Is this another step to the one-world order?

Are we on the verge of all the prophecies coming together?

What are your thoughts?

IMHO with out a doubt we are stepping into prophetic times.

I believe that we have been in prophetic times since 68AD. Parusia/Maranatha Christos Iesous.

Show me ONE prophecy in the Bible that says anything about a One World Order.

but it makes for good fictional LaHaye books.

I would object to the use of the word "good".

context. don't forget the fictional part. and I rather enjoy the entertaining reading. I don't always have time for that, since I have better things to read first, but good fiction is what good fiction does - entertain.

I never stated that this was a prophecy or a biblical reference. That is the reason for the separation of lines in my post. I was just wanting to get some dialogue going on current events and their role in biblical prophecy.

Are Christians paying enough attention to what is being played out in Israel, Gaza Strip, the powers of the North, etc.?

I am no expert in prophecy, just curious and attentive.

Oh I misunderstood when one question seemed to lead to another as you wrote:

RATHER than being a "Prophecy Expert" (usually a title that is self appointed by someone) I would encourage all to be a Bible expert.

If people would read the Bible without a pre-installed concept, I believe that one would draw some rather different conclusions.

I fully believe that the nation of Israel could be wiped from the face of the earth and it wouldnt amount to a hill of beans Biblewise.

A couple of questions arise in my mind here.

1. IF what many believe to be true is near (antichrist, one world government, etc.) then do Christians need to pay attention to this stuff?

2. IF something other than the "common" or accepted events of the future are to actually be true then what does it matter what happens in the mid-East?

Gerald makes a good point. If we are Bible scholars then we will know the answers but either way let not our hearts be troubled is what the Lord said.

I don't have the answers but would love to hear some definite ones. MAYBE someone has the key.
