The very moment the proud defiant enemies of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ raise their voices against heaven in the cry of "Peace and safety", signifying their perceived "final triumph" over God Almighty and His Christ...will be the very moment it all comes crashing down:
***
His Final Triumph By Arno C. Gaebelein
1Thes. 5:3 'For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape'
How many times the final triumph of our Lord is revealed in the Holy Scriptures! The major note of all prophecy is His conquest, His Glory, and His triumph. The holy men of God received more messages and visions of Christ's coming glorious exaltation than of His humiliation and rejection. One of the prophecies of His victory is found in the last verse of the one hundred and thirty-second Psalm:
Ps. 132:18 "His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon Himself shall His crown flourish."
Ever since our Lord left the earth to take His place at the right hand of God, His enemies have increased. But His place there, according to Scripture, is not His permanent place. He is there until His enemies are made the footstool of His feet:
Psalm 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Hebrews 10:12-13 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
This will not be done gradually by the preaching of the Gospel. The world never was so far away from accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord as it is now. There is not a single prophecy which authorizes us to believe that the present age is ending with a converted world. The very opposite is predicted. Instead of a universal acknowledgment of Christ, there will be a universal opposition and antagonism to Him. So it is written in the second Psalm:

This is the spirit of the age today. Christ opposition and Christ rejection are its marks. Quite true, they talk about Jesus, His teachings, His leadership, and His example, but the Christ of God, the supernatural Christ, the Son of God, who died for our sins and was buried, who arose on the third day, the age does not want. Our colleges, universities and other institutions are reeking with infidelity. Anti-christianity, often disguised under the name of Christianity, is frightfully on the increase. The Son of God is denied, and the denial of the Father follows. Atheism, the goal of all Christ-rejection, becomes stronger throughout the civilized countries. The climax has not yet been reached. The unseen forces of lawlessness, Satan and the demons under him, are preparing rapidly for the final conflict when Satan's masterpiece, the "man of sin", will be in power, when the world will unite in complete hatred of the Son of God. But when that is reached, the hour of His triumph will be at hand.
God, Himself, spoke to His Son, when He welcomed Him to take His place at His own right hand, saying: "Sit Thou at My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thine footstool." God Himself will deal with Christ's enemies and will clothe them with shame. It will be in that supreme hour of human history when every controversy about the Person of Christ will be forever settled, the hour when He returns to this earth in great power and glory.
His enemies will lick the dust (Ps. 72:8-9). The godless, the atheists, the liberalists and all their associates will be silenced by the glory-flash from above (2Thes. 1:7-10). And that hour, when He answers His enemies by His glorious manifestation, will also bring His crowning day: "Upon Himself shall His crown flourish" (Ps. 132:18). He will appear crowned with many diadems (Rev. 19:12).
How patiently He waits up yonder for that coming day! And we, His co-heirs, His brethren (Heb. 2:10-11; Rom. 8:17), whom He brings with Him in that day [link1; link2], we too must wait patiently with Him. But His waiting and our waiting (1Thes. 1:9-10) will soon end. ACG

What do you make of this news article? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/dems-grapple-omar-fallout-gop-plugs-more-measures-anti-semitism-n987046
Basically, what is your take on this whole political push against "anti-semitism", of late?
It sounds like they are trying to make it against the law to say anything negative against the Jewish nation, i.e. that it would be considered hate speech. I don't see them doing that with any other nation.
It is just as you have described it. And so what does that say? It says a lot. But, making "anti-semite" against the law is is nothing new, they have been at it a long time. The push is now just that much further along. No doubt the push will continue until goal achieved - so be not surprised... [note: you will hear it in most churches too]

Tom, Thank you so much for this information. I appreciate it greatly!
I have another question, unrelated to this topic, though perhaps connected in some way. I have friends and acquaintances who have been sending in their DNA via their saliva to some ancestry thing which tells them what percentage they are of German, Irish, English, African, Indian, etc. and it connects them with people whose DNA is close to theirs, and some people have found relatives they didn't know they had this way.
I am leery of such a thing. Do you have any knowledge about this, or if there is some political motive behind this as far as collecting all these people's DNAs and connecting them to other people via their DNA or via knowing their families' names? For, the people sending in their saliva also supply the ones collecting it with as much family tree information as they know, too. It just sounds suspicious. Am I overthinking this?
On the 'ancestry-dna' thing - my take on it - is a few things actually - none of them good:
First thing - the main thing wrong (and all the rest falls under this) - is that the real purpose is that they are mining the DNA of the populations. Mining the DNA. This then raises the question of why, for what reason. Two answers come to mind:
1. the political-global agenda
2. they are looking for something
(1) Political-global agenda: Aside from the privacy issuses i.e. no telling who does what with the samples, mad scientists etc., the testing is known to be not accurate, and results cannot be verified. It is questionable if it is even possible to trace DNA as far back as claimed.
Saw this video some time back looking at these issues [research - not endorsement; some language]: https://www.bitchute.com/video/BMwoFvWUjdsF/
Where the political-global agenda comes in is this: To make one-world citizens - so to speak - robbing of all identity from the individual must be accomplished: no gender identity already happening, as countries merge no national identity, and the last thing is to remove race-identity i.e. I'm French, he's Russian, she's German. No no no look at your DNA people - you are all "German, Irish, English, African, Indian, etc" - [which again is not provable] so really no difference at all - you are all already global-citizens don't you see.
(2) They are looking for something. This is speculation - but it actually is my initial reaction to the real purpose of 'DNA mining'. Two things here, but nothing that can be proved so it goes no further than just the thought. First is that this whole thing may have something to do with the known 'Jewish-DNA' issue. Whether there is such a thing as 'Jewish DNA" or not is a controversial topic of it's own - too much to go into here - but regardless it is a fact that Jews are using DNA-research to try and find 'true-Jews', including the so-called 10 lost tribes. Mining the world's dna in that effort perhaps?
Not unlikely. But on finding the 'true jews' - here is the interesting thing about it for me: when the biblical Antichrist comes to power during the 'tribulation', his intent will be to exterminate all 'true jews' - because they have claim to the earth. If he can destroy them he will have thwarted God's plan.
Second thing - the Matthew 13 wheat and the tares. The wheat being true humans and tares being the seed-of-the-serpent. This gets into the whole nephilim thing and OT giants, etc. - but just following that line of thought - perhaps the DNA mining is looking for 'serpent-seed people' also.
Anyway, those two things stay there - but the political-global agenda (1) as mentioned is probably pretty close to the mark.

Tom, Thank you so much for that thorough and detailed analysis of the DNA mining. I so appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. It is a curious thing that they are doing in collecting all these people's DNA. I believe what you have shared here provides some reasonable suggestions as to what purposes they may have in mind for such a thing, too. Yes, certainly some things any of us might suspect may be at work here are not provable. But, you have provided some good food-for-thought on this subject. So, again, thank you. Sue
