Hi everyone, I thought I'd share this article from Lamb & Lion Ministries which to me is better than watching YouTube Prophets don't you think? What is the Convergence Factor, and why is it important to understanding our times? Lamb & Lion Ministries Dr. David Reagan Nathan Jones
The signs of the times are so critically important because they are prophetic events that point towards the end times. They let us know that we are living in the season of the Lord's return.
You might consider the signs to be intel in advance. Powerful nations have intelligent agencies like the CIA. So, too, does the Bible provide us with God's intel in advance, and God does so with signs.
The signs of the times are multiple. Categorizations include Israel and the technical signs. There are the national signs like all the nations building up to gang up on Israel, such as the Muslim nations and Russia. We've got religious and moral signs, some of which are related to apostasy, which I'll describe in more detail below. Then you've got earth and sky signs and other cosmic phenomenon.
You see, it would be significant if just one of these signs was coming to pass. It'd be more significant still if two of these signs were coming to pass. But, the fact is, we've got multiple prophetic signs that are converging in our day. It's what I call the "convergence factor" and that leads us to believe that we are indeed living in the season of the Lord's return.

That was a great article, Moringstar. It's obvious many are still blinded and taken in by false teachers today. Another sign of the times we are in because it seems to have increased.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to grab my rosary and am warned not to look outside during the 3 days of darkness while looking for Nibiru and comet ISON. I don't know how I'm going to accomplish that because I can't look outside...lolololol.

I like that. I agree that the convergence of all of these events is significant. My frustration in these last days is that people can see the significance of those events, and yet still look for more. Jesus said "a wicked and perverse generation looks for a sign" - not because signs are bad, but because the bridegroom was with them, and they wanted something more, something... other. We're now in that exact same circumstance - where every sign given to us is visible before our very eyes, and still, so many are looking for MORE. Sadly, this drives those people to seek significance in that which is meaningless... and makes even their very conversation foolish. I'll stop there before I rant even more

Yes Benjamin, I snuck away for a bit. I was a little burned out on posting and decided to take a breather. I totally agree with your comment. It just seems as if some people have to be Spiritually energized by all this seeking for signs in all the wrong places. My question is, what does it profit them, especially when these supposedly big potential high watch days come and go, and then it's "well that one didn't happen, so let's see what else is coming up next" and on and on it goes....so what are they going to do? Tell us I told you so on the way up? The Lord said we are to Watch! but I don't think He wanted us to get hysterical over it.

Burned out on posting... yeah, I get that. Before I created this place, I was getting to the point where I just wasn't posting much at all... more out of frustration, I think, than anything else. You can only say "nibiru is a myth" so many times before you feel like you're bashing your head against a wall, you know?

Exactly Benjamin!!..After awhile you feel as if your comments are so repetitious and for what? To much focus is put on their acrobatic theories and speculations on the signs of His Coming, instead of putting their focus on the "One Who is Coming".
