In recent weeks, you may have heard about North Korea, microchips, and a solar eclipse. But what amazes and saddens me, is when I hear people getting so worried about these things, wondering if the end of the world is right around the corner. It\u2019s reminds me of fearful \u201cChicken Little\u201d<\/em> crying out, \u201cThe sky is falling!\u201d<\/em> As Christians, we shouldn\u2019t be afraid or confused, for God has already told us what\u2019s going to happen, and has even given us a 7-year time frame so we can see where these things<\/a> fit in with His endtime plans.

<\/p>

First, let\u2019s talk about North Korea. Matthew 24:6-7 tells us, \u201cYou will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.\u201d <\/em>Jesus goes on to say, \u201cthese things are merely the beginning of birth pains.\u201d<\/em> Let me explain: these birth pains are wars, earthquakes, famines and plagues taking place before the end of this age and Christ\u2019s coming, and this includes this North Korean conflict. But it\u2019s just the \u201cbeginning of birth pains\u201d,<\/em> meaning a lot more things, and yes, more wars, need to take place before the rapture of the church.

<\/p>

Second, we read about small rice-sized microchips that for years have been implanted in animals as identification and tracking devices. And now they\u2019re putting them in people – but why is this potentially such a big deal? Because Revelation 13:16-17 tells us that \u201che (another beast) causes all\u2026 to be given a mark on their right hand or forehead.\u201d <\/em>Now we don\u2019t know exactly what this \u201cmark\u201d<\/em> is, but I believe it relates to these microchips that are presently being developed and increasingly being perfected. This beast, together with the devilish Antichrist, will be using this kind of technology, and \u201cno one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark\u2026\u201d<\/em> This \u201cmark\u201d <\/em>will be one of the main ways the Antichrist will control people, run the economy, and rule the world during his short dictatorship.

<\/p>

When will this take place? I\u2019ve previously taught about a 7-year time period called Daniel\u2019s 70th<\/sup> week,<\/a> and right after the midpoint of this week, this mark will be implemented by the Antichrist and this other beast. Now Daniel\u2019s 70th<\/sup> week hasn\u2019t even started yet, for we\u2019re still at the beginning of birth pains. But this mark, this chip, will be ready to use on a global scale, and accepted by society at large when the Antichrist steps out on the world stage. Now Christians will still be on earth at this time, what Matthew 24:21<\/a> calls the great tribulation. But be assured, that if you\u2019re a true, born again Christian, then you will not and cannot take this mark of the beast. Only unbelievers can take the mark.

<\/p>

Third, there\u2019s this coming solar eclipse. Some well-known Christians have actually said this is a sign that judgment is coming on America. And yes, the Bible tells us about\u00a0\u201cwonders in the sky\u201d<\/em> (Joel 2:31), and that the \u201cthe sun will be darkened\u2026 \u201d <\/em>(Matthew 24:29) before the Day of the Lord, but this particular solar eclipse is not part of these end of the age cosmic disturbances. Why do we know that? Because the Bible tells us that these heavenly signs will not take place until after the Antichrist has been revealed, after the mark of the beast is implemented, immediately after the great tribulation, and right before the rapture<\/a> of the church. Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 6:12-7:14

<\/p>

Let me sum it up: As a world, we\u2019re now experiencing beginning birth pains, and part of that are these wars and rumors of wars. Then in the near future there\u2019ll be a peace treaty between the coming Antichrist and Israel, and this begins Daniel\u2019s 70th<\/sup> week. At the 3\u00bd year point of that week, the Antichrist will be revealed, and he\u2019ll make non-Christians take the mark of the beast, and also begin great tribulation against both Jews and Christians. Immediately after this great tribulation is cut short, there\u2019ll be these warning signs in the heavens, marking the end of this age, the return of Christ, and the rapture of the church. Then God\u2019s wrath will be poured out on all the unbelievers living on this earth.

<\/p>

God has told us ahead of time<\/a> what\u2019s going to take place before the return of His Son. Why? Because He wants us to know He\u2019s in control, that He\u2019s doing exactly what He has planned to do; and He doesn\u2019t want us to worry – He wants us to have peace in our hearts. We need to know that Jesus Christ is coming soon, but I say \u201csoon\u201d <\/em>in terms of all of human history. The truth is, the Bible tells us a number of things that need to take place before Christ\u2019s coming. In the weeks ahead we will be looking closely at many of these things.<\/a> Hebrews 10:23-25
