Pastors’ Point of View Ep. 382 with Dr. Andy Woods. 

“Prophecy Update”

The stage is being set for global persecution exactly as the Bible predicted. In Finland, a parliamentarian and bishop face years of criminal prosecution simply for quoting Scripture about marriage. In Canada, an MP wants Bible verses criminalized as "hate speech." In France, leaders are working to control and license all public information.

This isn't just about politics—it's about prophecy unfolding before our eyes. Daniel 7:23 warned of a final world government that would "devour the whole earth" and "tread it down and crush it." Revelation 17 describes a global system drunk with the blood of the saints.

But here's the hope: Before God's wrath falls, Jesus promises to rescue His church through the rapture. Titus 2:13 calls it our "blessed hope"—the appearing of our great God and Savior.

The gospel itself is offensive to the natural man because it offers salvation by grace alone, not works. And if speaking biblical truth becomes criminal, we're watching the infrastructure of the tribulation period being built in real time.

The process IS the punishment. Even when believers win these cases, they've been drained emotionally, financially, and spiritually—exactly what the persecutors intend.

Are you ready? The signs are undeniable. The alignment is remarkable. The time is short.
