Many decades ago, Hal Lindsay interpreted the re-creation of the nation of Israel in 1948 as the growth of the fig tree as mentioned in Matthew 24. The Bible does clarify that Israel is depicted as a fig tree, so when this prophecy suggests that the generation that sees this (Israel’s birth is 1948) will see all end times prophecy fulfilled, many who believe Bible prophecies assume that time is running out. But how long is a generation?
“‘Lord will return’ Bible scholar’s 2021 end of the world prediction after ‘decoding’ text”
“Mr Lindsey claimed he had successfully predicted the doomsday initiation after decoding Matthew 24:32-33, which reads: “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree – as soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.” According to Mr Lindsey, the 1948 “rebirth of Israel as a nation” represented the fig tree – and the generation brought up in this period would witness the Second Coming.” But Lindsey quoted the 40 year generation with Moses leading the wandering Israelites through the Sinai desert and predicted events would come by 1988.
“When Jesus did not return, Mr Lindsey’s interpretation came under heavy criticism, but World Bible Society President F. Kenton Beshore later claimed he knew why. The pastor argued that the previous interpretation of the passage was correct, but the length of a biblical generation was not. Instead of 40 years, Mr Beshore said he had decoded the Bible to reveal a biblical generation was 70-80 years, citing Psalm 90:10 as evidence.”
I agree that for biblical prophecy to make sense, everything happening by around 2028 is the most sensible interpretation. (FWIW, Nostradamus predicts WWIII will end around late 2028, followed immediately by a catstrophic pole shift that ends the current world age.) If this interpretation of the end times is correct, then the antichrist should be known soon, and if America is Mystery Babylon – the antichrist may be someone we already know well. Persecution of Christians and the church should accelerate soon if this interpretation is correct. Is there any way to prepare for plague, famine, war, and death?
Pastor Paul Begley comments on these topics and elaborates on Beshore’s predictions for 2021-2028:

David, An interesting thought on the Israeli burning of weapons for 7 years after the Gog/Magog War. Pre-Tribulation adherents claim this supports their position that this war has to happen before or at the start of the 7 years of Jacobs Trouble as there would be no burnings or smoke pollution during the Millennium Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Nowhere in scripture does it support this theory. The weapons are to be burned as “fuel” according to the Bible and most likely will be burned into the beginning of the 1000 year period. No doubt God will take care of the pollution problem. Maybe it will be like a sacrifice and instead of an animal it will be weapons of war burned as a sacrament.

Nowhere in the Bible does it proclaim a 7 year Tribulation. The last 7 years on earth before Jesus Christ returns to rule during the Millennium Kingdom is known as Daniels 70th Week and 7 years of Jacobs Trouble. The Bible specifically states that the last 3 1/2 years will be Great Tribulation like no time on earth. 42 months of Hell on Earth and Jesus Christ stated that if He wouldn’t shorten the time, no man would survive. The first 3 1/2 years (we are in that period now) is a time to set the stage. Jerusalem becoming the Capital of Israel was a key event along with the peace treaties that Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, but will never receive. The coming Antichrist (Mr. O) will confirm Trumps Treaties and claim for himself. On another topic concerning the Mark of the Beast, whoever takes the Covid shot (it is not a vaccine, but a DNA altering, demonic mark) will be transformed to non human status and that persons spiritual temple will be defiled. Is this the Abomination of Desolation where Satan steps into the Temple and becomes God of that person? It is a form of that but I expect a 3rd temple to be erected soon after the Ezekiel War.
Ezekiel 33:6 “But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand”.
I have sounded the trumpet since 2008 when I was shown a vision of the Antichrist. It was not something that I wanted as I had a very carefree life until that time. It is my duty as a watchman to warn the people no matter how much mocking and criticism comes my way and will continue to bring the message that was revealed to me until it is time to travel on. So many clues to the identity of this end time ruler have emerged and written off as mere coincidence, not because they are not worthy of study but the clues effect the human psych in such a negative way they are thought of as not possible. The often quoted verse where Jesus proclaimed “I beheld Satan as “lightening” fall from heaven”. Barack is a boys name in Hebrew meaning “lightning”. So many more coincidences follow this person that sooner or later the coincidences become reality. Very soon we will know the truth.
