Sing a New Song

My wife and I live in Taiwan—and although they do actually have a few good churches here, the vast majority of Taiwanese churches invariably lean toward some species of salvation by works and other associated doctrinal errors. I can only speculate as to how this came about, but virtually every church in Taiwan—regardless of the name on the door—seems to be of the opinion that "good works" are required to keep a solid grip on one's salvation.

Along similar lines, many Taiwanese Christians also believe (because they have been taught it and accept it without question) that they will stand at the Great White Throne Judgment to learn whether or not they made the cut, so to speak, and will enter heaven. Many believe that if their works fall short and they don't make the cut, they will be sent off to something that has the distinct odor of purgatory, although that word is never used because the Roman Catholics have had dibs on it since the fifteenth century.

 A Blast From the Past: 

The Last Roundup

Countless works have been written on the book of Revelation, and those written by people who see the Rapture as preceding the official launch of the seven-year Tribulation also see multitudes of people coming to faith in Christ during that seven-year period. These people are not part of the Church, and are often referred to as Tribulation saints.

Two of the clearest references to these people in John's vision in the book of Revelation would be (a) the martyred believers who start showing up in heaven during the fifth seal judgment (Rev. 6:9–11), and (b) those who are saved as a result of the evangelistic efforts of the 144,000 Jewish apostle Pauls that God unleashes on the post-Rapture world between the sixth and seventh seal judgments (Rev. 7:9–12).

Some commentators, however, see people continuing to be saved up until the bloody end of the Tribulation—all through the trumpet and bowl judgments and all the way up to the grand finale at Armageddon. These commentators have God continuing to pour out His mercy on people and draw them into the kingdom up until the final days of the Tribulation, since He is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4). In other words, they see no end to God's efforts to bring men to repentance, and they have a comparatively rosy view of God's grace and mercy in drawing people to Him all throughout the Tribulation.

I've been spending time recently in the book of Revelation, however, and I have come to see things differently...and the way I have come to see things is not quite so rosy.

 Weekly Commentary: 

5/27/2025 — From the "And the Beat Goes On" Department...

Spain recently hosted a meeting of 20 European and Arab nations in Madrid with the goal of pressuring Israel to halt its Gaza offensive and discuss the idea of moving forward with the idea of creating a two-state solution.

Considered in isolation, this might not be all that big a deal. Just more talk—same old same old. But this is not an isolated event—it is part of a larger, more comprehensive push to finally impose the two-state solution on Israel.

And this time they just may be serious.

The reason I say that is because in mid-June the United Nations will hold a high-level conference on the two-state solution in New York, hosted by Saudi Arabian and French leaders. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa expressed hope that President Trump would attend this conference, since according Mustafa the U.S. is "an important stakeholder in the Middle East."

And the siren song is getting cranked up like never before:

"We've got to bring peace and stability to the region."

Ah, yes...peace and stability. Hmm...that rings a bell:

We know the destruction mentioned here is coming during the Tribulation, and we are more or less in the lead-up to it. And no topic on earth is more closely related to peace and safety today than the issue of imposing a two-state solution on Israel. That's the ticket to peace in the Middle East.

I groaned when I read some of the things said by those in attendance at this conference, because they clearly communicate the true intentions of world leaders. For example, according to Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs José Manuel Albares:

"Spain is going to propose here in Madrid today that there should be a major movement to recognise the Palestinian State. Again, not against the State of Israel, but in favour of the two-state solution." (emphasis added)

In other words, we plan to cut Israel into two indefensible halves and hand it over to terrorists who are sworn to Israel's annihilation...oh, but this is in no way against Israel...oh no. It's for the wonderful two-state solution that will bring peace to the Middle East!

He also assured the world that the group would certainly take into account the peace and security of Israel.

Whew...well that's a load off.

Translation: Israel. Is. Toast. =XD

For the record, I am convinced that there will in fact be a two-state solution imposed on Israel, possibly as part of the treaty of Daniel 9:27 that launches the Tribulation. Obviously I don't know what will transpire in June in New York, but I don't think it will the full monty right off the bat...we're not quite there yet, in my opinion.

Rather, it appears likely that a plan is in the works to establish some kind of framework that will lead to such a two-state solution in the foreseeable future...a plan that will be "confirmed" or fully implemented by the Antichrist in the treaty that kicks off the Tribulation in the not-too-distant future.

So for now, it's like the song says: "And the beat goes on..."
