As we witness the collapse of society throughout the earth (Some see it merely as a temporary inconvenience), we are reminded of prophecies yet unfullfilled regarding the dissolution of this world system and replacement with a new perfect one. The question is, "Is this the time of Christ's appearing in judgment on the wicked? or is this a time that will bring great spiritual revival?"
Well, why were the 1st Century Christians so confident in their letters to the churches about the end of the Jewish age, which in fact did occur in AD 70? Jesus, and Apostles Peter, James, John, Paul among other writers in the New Testament all confidently pointed to a time where Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Law would be dissolved and replaced with a New Covenant. How could they know? Well, they knew because Biblical Prophets had told them so for centuries, and because they could now see the "signs" of the Jewish order collapse. And collapse it did when Rome destroyed Judea and the Jewish practice of their religion through the Law of Moses. History.
And now, we see the "signs" of collapse and the return of Christ in judgement based on the Biblical Scriptures that have prophesied that event for centuries. Whereas, the false hope in revival or the lights magically just turning on again, is based on nothing, no Scripture, no prophecy, and no witness of the events. False hope. End of history.
