The completion of seven and the soon return of Jesus Christ  Part Three
 
Many Christians have been talking about the date 7-7-07, but what we also have to understand is the world was very much looking at this day. Over 100 musical artists performed spanning all "7" continents to a potential audience of "7" billion people. Individuals planned this huge concert to make people more aware of global warming. It is very rare for this world to include the continent of Antarctica but even they were involved.  When I stop to think about this event, the worldwide telecast had it's centerpiece in music performances which is the only real universal language on planet earth.If what certain people say is true about global warming then what could be more essential to life than breathing?
 
Planners of this event actually combined the only universal language (music) and the very essence of life (breathing) into one event. I personally hold to the opinion that God controls this issue rather than man and the changes could be due to sun spots but I will concede that pollution does not help.A few Christians pointed out that since the 7 year tribulation is so close, God may be expanding the borders of hell because the death toll will be so high in this period of time.They say that would account for the warming. What I am primarily looking at is how the world is coming together- by what means and through what issue.
To really think about this, Antarctica was probably included because mostly scientists comprise the population of that continent. People that desire to unite the world need this group to confirm that the ozone layer is too thin.Most countries around the world have already signed onto the Kyoto treaty. Regardless as to what your opinion is on global warming, this whole event seemed to be more about uniting the world and control than the actual theme of the concert if one looked closely at the motive or root. This is the first event that I have seen in years that made progress in uniting the world. The events of planet earth in the past 5 years have divided the world. This event made progress in bringing people together. It happened on 7-7-07.

What I find remarkable about the "7" continents around this world is 6 of them begin with the letter A. North America, South America,Antarctica, Africa,Asia,Australia,and Europe. I don't know much about the lost continent of Atlantis or even how true it is but even that began with an A.
 
I believe Europe stands out as different because much of that area will comprise the Revised Roman Empire. Like I have already said in Part Two, the EU chief of foreign policy has already announced that he would like the quartet (United Stated,Russia,United Nations, European Union) to negotiate a two state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.The 22 country Arab League did send ambassadors to Israel and talked about this as 250 Palestinian prisoners were released.
 
I want you to really look at this situation. Daniel 2:41, Revelation 13:1, and Revelation 17:14 speak of 10 nations joining together in the European community through a man (the antichrist) confirming a 7 year peace covenant. Right now America,Mexico,and Canada are forming the North American Union with the new dollar to be called the Amero. The European Union is now comprised of 13 main countries. If I am reading this right from the Bible some countries with either leave or be dismissed.
 
What I find remarkable is that the Bible is forming just like it was written because more countries are using the Euro rather than the American dollar. The Euro is going up in the world and the American dollar is going down. All these elements are forming very fast into the fulfillment of Daniel 2:41 and Daniel 9:27. "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided." Daniel 2:41.Obviously I am giving you the short version of Daniel due to space. "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week".... Daniel 9:27 (one week being "7" years).
 
To get back to what I was talking about regarding the 6 of the 7 continents beginning with the letter "A". The origin of the letter A reminds me that 7 has its beginning in the book of Genesis. Even the word created was used "7" times in the creation account.  For example do you really believe that there is going to be computer internet service during the millennium? People will go back to the farm which is the way God originally intended mankind to live.Biblical proof texts for this future reality are in Micah 4:4, Zechariah 3:10, Jermaniah 31:10,12,14, Hosea 2:14,15, Hosea 14:5-7, Joel 2:19,24, Joel 3:18, Amos 9:13,14, and Zecharch 9:17. I did not even give you all of the verses but I'm sure you get the basic idea.The book of Revelation is surrounded by "sevens" and the world will go back to the book of Genesis which has its' root in the number 7.
 
Here we see the world trying to unite people in all "7" continents on the date of 7-7--07. The idea of Utopia on planet earth from the backdrop of man is entirely different in what the book of Revelation teaches. It would be wise if people would decide to read the book of Revelation and find out for themselves what God has in mind. The idea of the whole world holding hands as one big happy family apart from Jesus Christ will never succeed. It is a false unity without foundation or truth. Think of all the ways that the world could unite for a common cause. The global war on terrorism,global warming, but nothing in my opinion will bring the world together quite like the rapture of the Christians. All these people will vanish from the face of the earth. All this chaos! The leaders of the world will have no other choice but to unite as one. There is no doubt in my mind that we are seeing attempt after attempt to do this but with no real solid success because it is not time for God to formally start the 7 year tribulation period.That will be soon in my opinion.
 
As I have stated several times, the book of Revelation is surrounded by "sevens." The seven churches,the seven stars and even the judgments are in sets of seven. It dawned on me that every equation leading up to "seven" speaks of the perfection and completion of God. I can see why God would end the last book of the Bible with "sevens." 6 (the number of man) +1 (the Sovereignty of God) =7 (Perfection and Completion). 2 (Division) +5 (Grace) =7( perfection and completeness). 4 (the perfect world number) +3 (the perfect divine number) =7. Think about this combination. Earth (4) with the perfect help of heaven (3) computes to divine completion and perfection (7). For me it is hard to doubt the divine design of God.
 
Friend, there is so much more that I could say about this perfect number from heaven but somehow if you read this far I believe you will comprehend the thrust of the meaning of "seven". I have never seen a time period where this world is so interested in a person that will unite the world. He will be the antichrist. There will be more 7-7-07 events taking place around the earth because "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders." 2nd Thes.2:9.This is a description of a future leader bringing the world together through miracles that are not from heaven.
 
It is the next 3 verses that I really want you to look at very closely. "(10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be dammed who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2nd Thes.2:10-12.
 
This is why if you never accepted Jesus Christ as your very own personal Savior it is so important to make that decision today/tonight wherever you may be in the world. Much false unity and deception will take place around the world in the form of politics and religion because that is exactly what Revelation chapter 13 teaches. If a person rejects the truth of God then they are prime for deception. The closeness of the hour would have to be obvious. The question anybody would have to ask is, "Am I ready to go up to heaven in the rapture of the church?" The great snatch (the catching away of the Christians) is reserved for true believers in Jesus Christ.The Blessed Hope is one event you will not want to miss! I believe this could happen at any moment.
 
Love in Christ
