Are We Seeing the End Times Unfold Before Our Eyes?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

You remember the story, don't you? A young shepherd boy gets bored watching his sheep and decides to have some fun. He cries "Wolf! Wolf!" and the villagers come running, only to find the boy laughing at their gullibility. It happens again. And again. Until one day, a real wolf arrives. The boy screams for help, but this time, no one believes him. The wolf ravages the flock, and probably the boy as well.

Are we playing that same tragic game with the signs of the end times?

The Prophetic Timeline

The Bible is clear about the events leading up to the return of Christ. In the book of Daniel, the prophet outlines a specific timeline of kingdoms that would rise and fall. From the Babylonians to the Medo-Persians, the Greeks, and finally the Romans - each empire fulfilling ancient prophecy.

Now we see the revival of a revived Roman empire in the European Union. The stage is set for the Antichrist to rise. Digital currency, brain implants, a one-world government - the technological infrastructure for the mark of the beast is already in place.

Isaiah's Warning

The prophet Isaiah gave a dire warning over 2,500 years ago: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." (Isaiah 5:20)

Just look around. Morality has been inverted. Depravity is celebrated. Righteousness is ridiculed. The wolves are circling our children, ready to devour their innocence and their futures.

The Time is Now

As a parent, I'm terrified. The tribulation may be closer than we think. The signs are undeniable - if we have eyes to see. will we be like the villagers, deaf to the boy's cries until it's too late? Or will we wake up and prepare our families for the dark days ahead?

The choice is ours. The wolf is at the door. The time to act is now.
