The Bible tells us that the sons of Issachar understood the times and what Israel was out to do… Issachar’s sons are a good examples 1 Chron 12:32-33
Jesus “commanded” us to be able to interpret the time and tells us to be observant and understand the time we live in. Luke 12:54-56
It gives us perspectives on everything we see and do. Reading the news and the Bible parallel.
Only God to know what time it is… , but we must try to understand it…
In order to capture trends and weak signals we can look into these points to start with:
The Bible
Israel & the Jewish people
Development of the Church - Ecclesia
The global agenda and issues
Values & consequences
Emerging Technology
God’s clock - the Jewish people
The hours - The state of Israel
The minutes - City of Jerusalem
The Seconds - Temple Mount
Uncertainty
Anti Semitic & Zionistic values accelerates
Individualization
A multi polarized world
Digitalization & AI
Non-Godly and inhuman Values
Global Terrorism & welfare crime
Environmental & sustainability issues
Dept based economy accelerates
Tension globalist and internationalists
Aging world population - non sustainable birthrates
A legally increased lawless society
Syncretism and a new gospel
An increased outpouring of the Holy spirit
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
