Jesus warned his disciples in some very sobering terms with regard to this earth’s final crisis. He said,”And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:” Mark 13:7,8.

He similarly pointed out that these matters must be, but the end is not yet. As a matter of fact there were and have been wars and rumors of wars on numerous occasions since he pronounced the statement, but the conclusion is not yet. There were additional occurrences that had to come to fruition, but the prophetic significance is that these wars, and rumors thereof, will escalate as the end draws closer and closer.

The prophetic significance that I would like to call attention to here is that of the present U.S. war (billed as part of the broad war on terror) as it concerns the damage done to the United States and the rights of its citizens. The large majority of the American citizenry are opposed to this war, in point of fact, very many of them believe that it was based on absolute deception.

What is disquieting about it however is the refusal of the elected representatives to respect the will of the people. The American taxpayer is being bullied to spend billions and billions of dollars for a war that they have very clearly spoken that they do not want.

Further, many Americans are losing their dwellings, paying higher gas prices, food prices etc., while seeing billions of their tax dollars being pledged to war spending, and bank bailouts. Notwithstanding the mantra of “government by the people” in “free” America is still touted.

The Bible prophets warned us that the basic representative government in this country would eventually come under assault, and at length be altogether altered but the great majority of the American people have not cared to heed or regard the voice of the prophets.
