What are everyone's thoughts on what Israel is doing in the middle east? I don't think they're too concerned about coming to the table right now, I think they mean business. I'm glad to see the US is still backing them. Thoughts?
If we all maintained the status quo, how quickly we would fall!

I guess I don't follow what you're saying about spiritual restoration. I think as long as GW is in office the US will still back Isreal.

This was something I never fully understood, the end time series by HEF was one of the last that I recall listening to growing up. Where does the great tribulation of the rest of the world and the rapture fit into the whole scheme of things. I've always been confused as to what is to happen with Isreal and what is to happen with the rest of the world?

It sure gets exciting to think about, doesn't it?
As for Israel, everytime something goes on in Israel, I get goosebumps. Regardless of your thoughts about the time of the rapture, whether it is for "overcomers" or for the church, etc., I believe Israel is sort of like God's stopwatch.
Israel is God's chosen people (unless you're one of those folks that believe the church is now the "spiritual Israel" and the actual nation of Israel is just like any other nation. Since God's promises do not change, this is a false doctrine - but that's a discussion for another time.) When things start happening in and to Israel, I start looking up. Sooner or later, someone is going to step on the scene that will have all the answers to Israel's peace (as well as the peace of the world). Like Mulder stated, this person will be the anti-christ.
As Christians bound for the rapture, I'm not sure if we will ever know the identity of the anti-christ. Since the seven-year clock starts at Israel's "peace" agreement, I would believe the rapture to have already occurred. We may have the opportunity to see someone rise to power on the world scene, but the rapture would have to occur shortly thereafter.
Interesting discussion. The bottom line is that Israel will play a major role in the end times. As such, start looking up whenever Israel is in the news. The end may be right around the corner.
Have a great day!

One with definitely think so, but these chips have been around for quite awhile. I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I think we are yet a little ways off. I don't think most americans this day and age would agree to a chip in their body for commerce or any other purpose, there has been some uproar about putting them in registered sex offenders. Cash is still king and with the remaking of all the currency, it doesn't appear that we are ready for a cashless society yet. I can remember 25 years ago Dr. Freeman talking about a cashless society, we are headed in that direction but I believe a ways from it. The chip implants would seem to appear that they could be the mark of the beast but people have said the same think about SS numbers, bar codes to name a few other notables that people thought to be the mark of the beast. No one knows the time or the hour. The Bible says that it will come like a thief in the night. I believe that there are too many people claiming the end of the world to say the time is now. But I could be very wrong. One thing I think we have to learn from FA is that even though we may think that the time is near, we still should plan for the future. As I have stated before, FA taught like the world was going to shortly and many members didn't plan for their kids future, retirement or many other long term plans. One has to remember that Peter and the apostles also taught the same thing 2,000 years ago and here we are.

If you do a Google search for "chip implants" you would find that MANY are accepting this and are also doing it now. Yes it's a gradual brainwashing for sure.
