8 Signs that Jesus is Coming Soon

We cannot know the exact day or hour of Jesus' return. However, Jesus tells us that when certain events take place, we can know that he is just around the corner:

32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 so you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. (Matthew 24:32-33)

In this article, we will explore 8 signs that Jesus is coming soon.

#1 - The Gospel to Every Nation

Jesus predicted that the end times would come once every ethnic group in the whole world hears the Gospel.

14 This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14).

In Greek, the word “nations” refers to ethnic groups, not political countries. Therefore, all 12,000 people groups in the world must hear the good news of Jesus before he returns. Revelation 5:9 also agrees with this, saying that Jesus died for people from “from every tribe, language, people, and nation.”

Furthermore, the Greek phrase “whole world,” refers to the entire world, not just the Roman world. Revelation 12:9 says that Satan “deceives the whole world.” Obviously, there is no part of the world that Satan has not deceived. Therefore, when Jesus says “whole world,” we can be confident that he is referring to the entire planet, not just a certain region.

According to Gordon Conwell’s Center for Global Christianity, 28% percent of the world’s population has not heard the Gospel. Bringing this number all the way down to 0% is related to the “Great Commission,” where Jesus commands his followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).

The Jesus Film is one of the most widely used evangelistic tools by missionaries. In December of 2021, the executive director of the Jesus Film Project, Josh Newell, said in a video that it was “possible” for the Great Commission to be completed in the next 5-10 years.

By 2025, the Jesus Film intends to give continuous Gospel access to the world by providing 1 billion annual views to its materials, primarily through digital means. They do this by running Internet advertisements, as well as by running TV broadcasting campaigns in areas with very few Christians. Furthermore, they aim to have the Jesus Film translated into 2200 languages, which would cover 99% of the world’s population.

The Gospel is presented about 1.3 billion times a year through the Internet and TV alone! This does not count traditional in-person missions. Furthermore, the amount of Internet users in the world will be around 87% by the end of 2031. If we assume that 87% of the 28% unevangelized will have Internet in the next ten years, this leaves only 4% of the world who will have not heard the good news of Jesus.

Nevertheless, it's very likely that the remaining 5% will have been exposed to the Gospel through traditional in-person missionary efforts. Organizations like Finishing the Task, Doulos Partners, and the Finishing Fund specifically target mission funding towards those tribes and peoples who have never been exposed to the Gospel.

Now if the spread of the Gospel to every nation is so close, we would expect other end time signs to be present. And yet we do.

#2 - The Rebirth of Israel

The Bible talks about the regathering of the Jews to the land of Israel in the end-times. Ezekiel 38-39 describes how in latter years the Jews will be regathered from the nations to the mountains of Israel. A powerful military alliance, led by northern country, launches a surprise attack against them. Referring to the attackers, God says:

8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual place of ruins; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them. (Ezekiel 38:8)

This invasion enrages God, who supernaturally destroys the attackers.

21 And I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains,” declares the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 With plague and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (Ezekiel 38:21-23)

This regathering follows a long exile.

28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then I gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. (Ezekiel 39:28)

The Jews were regathered from a 1900-year exile to the land of Israel, just like the Bible predicts. As a result, we can be confident that the Israel today is the end time Israel predicted in the Bible.

Yet Israel is not the only political entity to be reborn in the end times.

#3 - The Rebirth of the Roman Empire

The Bible predicts that the Roman Empire will be reborn in the end times.

Daniel 2 and 7 teach that there will be four empires that rise up in world history, one after another. In chapter 7, Daniel sees a vision of these four empires symbolized by four “beasts” that come up out of the great sea, which is the Mediterranean.

Daniel 2 identifies the first empire as Babylon. Daniel 5 tells us that the Medo-Persian empire came after the Babylonian Empire. Furthermore, Daniel 8 says that Greece came after the Medo-Persian Empire. This leaves the fourth empire, which came after Greece. This was none other than the Roman empire. It was terrifying and violent, just like Daniel 7 describes.

Dr. John Walvoord, former President of Dallas Theological Seminary, states that:

“Conservative scholars with few exceptions generally identify the fourth beast as Rome.”

Daniel 7 says that God violently destroys the final ruler of the Roman Empire when he sets up his eternal kingdom, led by the Messiah. Daniel 7:27 says:

27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the empires will serve and obey Him.’ (Daniel 7:27)

But this poses a serious problem. The Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. It was not violently destroyed by God, setting up a global kingdom in its place. Therefore, in order for this to happen, it must be reborn in the end times. This is why Dr. John Walvoord anticipated the “revival of the Roman Empire.”

The historical Roman Empire covered territory in Western Europe, the Middle East, Asia Minor, and North Africa. But can we be more specific on the location of the end-times Roman Empire?

The final ruler of the Roman Empire is called the Antichrist. Daniel 11:40-45 describes his military conquests. In the end times, the Antichrist is attacked by Egypt, which is south of Israel. He is also attacked by a powerful force north of Israel.

During his counterattack, the Antichrist sweeps through many countries. He eventually invades Israel. Then, he goes on to take over Egypt and various parts of north Africa.

But if the Antichrist goes to war with all of these places, then which part of the Roman Empire is he attacking from? Where is his home-base, from which he conducts his military operations? The only place left is Western Europe.

This calls our attention to the European Union. In 1957, six European nations came together and signed the Treaty of Rome. This formed the basis for what the European Union is today. The European Union has many features of statehood, including: a single currency, border-free travel, an executive branch that proposes laws, and its own legislature, the European Parliament.

Daniel makes clear that the end times Roman Empire is not as strong or united as its historical counterpart. Instead, it will be a “divided kingdom.” (Dan. 2:41)

The European Union struggles with disunity, just like the Bible predicts. The first major example of this occurred from 2009-2013, with the Eurozone crisis. This threatened the very existence of the euro as a currency. Another strong example of the EU’s disunity took place in 2016, where the UK voted to leave the EU in its historic “Brexit” vote.

Furthermore, Daniel 2:42 says of the end times Roman Empire that "some of the kingdom will be strong, and part of it will be fragile." This is true of EU countries. Some have a strong military, others have a weak military. Finally, Daniel 2:43 says that the people of the end times Roman Empire "will combine with one another in their descendants; but they will not adhere to one another" As of 2010, cross-border marriages break up at a higher rate than those who get married to someone from the same member country.

#4 - Rise of the Antichrist

Unlike the historical Roman Empire, the end-times Roman Empire is composed of a group of ten kings. In Daniel 7, the fourth beast has ten horns on its head. The angel explains this to Daniel, saying: “As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise;”

Because of this, theologians anticipate a 10-nation alliance in the area where the Roman Empire was. Dr. John Walvoord anticipated the “formation of the revived Roman Empire composed of a ten-nation confederacy.”

In 1995, a military alliance called the “Western European Union” became ten member states. It existed until its closure in 2011, which occurred since it had already transferred all of its functions to the EU. Since the EU was not a military organization, EU members planned to use the Western European Union as its “defense component.”

The Bible uses the ten-horned beast to describe the context in which the Antichrist rises to power.

“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.” (Daniel 7:8)

The angel interprets this vision for Daniel, saying:

24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will humble three kings. (Daniel 7:24)

In 1998, at the Vienna European Council, European leaders agreed that they needed a person to represent them on the world stage. Document 666 stated their opinion on the matter. They proposed a new job title, called the EU High Representative.

‌In 1999, Javier Solana of Spain was appointed as the EU’s first High Representative. He was also appointed as the Secretary General of the 10-nation WEU. Since Javier Solana was appointed after the original ten nation alliance was in place, and had less power than them, it strongly fits the image of a little horn rising up among the ten larger horns.‌

Javier Solana was supposed to represent the EU to the rest of the world. The new job was supposed to be like a “foreign minister,” or “secretary of state,” but without as much power.

However, the E3, composed of France, the UK, and Germany, wanted to dictate EU foreign policy on their own. They were even accused of a power grab by other EU countries, when they tried to hold their own special meeting to decide the EU’s future.

The E3 played a very big role in the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Initially, when meeting with the Iranians, they left Solana behind. Nevertheless, some countries complained about this, and Solana eventually accompanied them during the negotiations.

On 06/06/06, Javier Solana emerged as leader of the group. He was shown on major news outlets presenting a deal that the Iranians could possibly accept. A major German newspaper puts it quite accurately:

“During his time in office, Solana established himself as a key negotiator and speaker for the EU on the subject of Iran's nuclear capabilities." -Der Spiegel

If we look at Strong’s concordance, the literal meaning of “humble” is “to be low.” The short definition means that he “humbled” them. This is how the New American Standard Bible translates this word. The NASB is known for being one of the most literal Bible translations available. It says that he “will humble three kings.”

Solana humbled the E3 by becoming their leader, when they originally wanted to work without him. Furthermore, Solana gradually replaced the E3 as the main speaker for the entire EU. This is very consistent with the image of the little horn which gradually grows up and uproots three of the ten horns.

‌Revelation also talks about the beast with ten horns.

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.” (Revelation 17:12-13)

In 1999, at the Cologne European Council, EU leaders agreed to transfer the military functions of the 10-nation Western European Union, to the European Union. In 2000, Recommendation 666 proposed that Solana be made chairman of the committee which led EU military operations. In this way, the WEU transferred their “power and authority” to do military operations to Javier Solana, just like Revelation says.

#5 - Personality of the Antichrist

Javier Solana has many of the personality traits of the Antichrist.

36 “Then the king will do as he pleases… (Daniel 11:36a)

During his time in office, Solana demonstrated this personality:

"As time goes by I do whatever I want. I know what people think. I pursue my own agenda. I don't have to check everything with everyone. I would rather have forgiveness than permission. If you ask permission, you never do anything." - Javier Solana

The text goes on to describe the religious views of the Antichrist:

37 And he will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will boast against them all. (Daniel 11:37)

Javier Solana has no religion, since he is an atheist.

However the passage goes on, saying that he does serve a god:

38 But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, precious stones, and treasures. (Daniel 11:38)

‌The passage just got done telling us that the Antichrist has no traditional religion. Therefore, theologians take the “god of fortresses” as a metaphor for military strength. Dr. John Walvoord says that: “...he will worship only the power to make war and gain victory…”

Fortresses are for defending instead of attacking. Therefore, the Antichrist does not just worship military power, but military defense. In his excellent commentary on Daniel, J. Paul Tanner states that:

“The word 'strongholds' [fortresses]...is commonly used in the Old Testament...of a fortified military defense." -J. Paul Tanner

On 06/16/16, Solana gave a speech to the EU Parliament subcommittee on defense, arguing that the EU should become a military power.

Back in 2015, he was so passionate about building a European Defense Union that he went on tour to the capitals of many European countries. When presenting his ideas in the EU’s capital, he said: "I will put all of the energies that I have left to push forward this process."

But how does he honor this god? He honors this god with “gold, silver, precious stones, and treasures.” In modern terms, this is money. The Antichrist is really big on defense spending.

Commentators strongly imply this as well. Dr. J. Paul Tanner says that:

"Precious resources like 'gold, silver, precious stones, and desirable treasures' will mean nothing to this tyrant. He will readily pour them into procuring whatever military goods he can obtain..." -J. Paul Tanner

Dr. Leon Wood, in his "Commentary on Daniel" also said that:

“...warfare has always been expensive, and this will be true as ever for this ruler…”

Ever since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Solana has been repeatedly calling for increased EU defense spending.

Solana: "The EU must spend more on defense and improve capabilities in the face of new threats" -Javier Solana (March 15, 2022)

“First, the EU must expand its security and defense capabilities... -Javier Solana (March 22, 2022)

‌None of this is new. Solana has a history of calling for increased defense spending:

“...we should spend more, spend better and spend more together." - Javier Solana, 2006

"the bottom-line we should never forget is that we need to increase what we invest in defense - that is, increase spending on research, development, and equipment procurement..." -Javier Solana, 2007

In June 2017, the European Union launched its first military research program, called the European Defense Fund. The European defense fund has numerous connections to the number 666, in official documents and other places.

Furthermore, in May of 2022, the EU announced its plans to help coordinate the weapons purchases for all EU member countries. The European Defense Fund, as well as these new programs, could be led by Solana upon his return to politics.

Its no secret that Javier Solana is nearly 80 years old, and hasn't held office for over 13 years. As we will see, this is not a theological difficulty. And if its not a theological difficulty, then its not a difficulty at all, because God can do anything.

#6 - Enthronement of the Antichrist

The Bible describes how the Antichrist's 10 allies give him their national sovereignty, especially as it relates to their ability to wage war.

12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”

15 And he *said to me, “The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes, and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled. 18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:12-18)

Verse 13 and verse 17 sound like they are describing the same power transfer. But further analysis reveals that they have important differences..

Phase 1 - Revelation 17:12-13

12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

The ten merely give their "power and authority" to the beast.
No mention is made of hatred of Babylon as a motivating factor.

Phase 2 - Revelation 17:16-17

16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.

The ten give their "kingdom" (i.e. sovereignty) to the beast.
Hatred of Babylon is specifically mentioned as the motivation.

The repetition, yet substantial variation, allows for the possibility that authority is transferred to the Antichrist in two phases. Furthermore, there may be a time gap between them. As you can see here, time gaps are common in prophecy:

First and Second Coming of Christ
Historical and End Time Israel
Historical and Revived Roman Empire

As we have seen previously, Phase 1 is already complete. This happened when the 10-nation WEU alliance transferred their military functions to the European Union, under the leadership of Javier Solana. ‌‌‌‌

Verse 17 describes the beginning of Phase 2. It says:

“For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.”

This “common purpose” is in the context of the violent destruction of an end-time city called Babylon. Therefore, the “common purpose” is in the military domain.

By 2009, the 10-nation WEU transferred all of its functions to the EU. As a result, they closed down in 2010.

In the document dissolving the WEU, they listed a few reasons why. One reason was that the EU now had a “Common Security and Defence Policy” under its new treaty. Here we have a common policy, (i.e. a common purpose) in the military domain.

The Bible also states that the ten will end up “giving their kingdom to the beast.” An examination of this Greek word means, among other things, that the ten give their sovereignty to the Antichrist.

When referring to EU member countries, Javier Solana said in 2016 that:

“…the deepening of CSDP [common security and defense policy] could imply a loss in their autonomy of decision-making, and in some cases a loss of sovereignty.” -Javier Solana

Yet even today, national sovereignty in defense remains in the hands of the EU member countries. But when will that change?

#7 - Antichrist's Former Ally

The Bible describes how the Antichrist and his ten kings will hate and betray a former ally called Babylon.

It is clear that Javier Solana and the EU represent the beast. The ten former Western European Union countries will unite in hatred of Babylon, giving their national sovereignty to Javier Solana. But who is Babylon?

On this scenario, New York City, and by extension, the United States, are end times Babylon. From Revelation 17-18, we can gather several characteristics of Babylon.

1) Is called “Babylon” (Rev. 18:2)

…the great city, Babylon, the strong city!

The only city on earth (other than Iraq) that is called "Babylon" is on Long Island.

2) Is a city with global political influence (Rev. 17:18)

18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

New York City is the home of many global businesses. It is also the home of the United Nations.

3) Is very wealthy, trading every type of good (Rev. 18:11-16)

11 “And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more— 12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; every kind of citron wood, every article of ivory, and every article made from very valuable wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, and cargo of horses, carriages, slaves, and human lives. (Revelation 18:11-13)

New York City is famous for the trading of many goods. Wall Street is home of the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, as well as a commodities trading market.

4) Contains many different ethnic groups (Rev. 17:15)

15 And he *said to me, “The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes, and nations and languages. (Revelation 17:15)

New York City is a very ethnically diverse city.

5) Is probably a coastal city (Rev. 18:17)

And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and all who make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, 18 and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What city is like the great city?’ 19 And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich from her prosperity, for in one hour she has been laid waste!’ (Revelation 18:17b-19)

New York City is a very major port city, with one of the largest natural harbors in the world.

6) Is initially allied with the beast before he destroys her (Rev. 17)

7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. (Revelation 17:7)

16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. (Revelation 17:16)

The United States, and by extension, New York City, is allied with the EU (the beast) through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

The End of NATO and the Enthronement of the Beast

The US and EU are very united against Russia’s Vladimir Putin ever since he invaded Ukraine. The West is showing a very strong and united front against him.

However, day is coming when this unity will be shattered. We have already seen hints of this, with Trump's opposition to NATO and Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The US will no longer tolerate the EU for failing to spend adequate amount of money on its own defense. Then the western European countries will give their national sovereignty to Javier Solana.

God causes the ten kings to give their sovereignty to the Antichrist, so that they will destroy end times Babylon. This is probably a nuclear attack, because the city "will be burned up with fire" in "one day." This city is wiped off the map, never to be seen again (Revelation 18:21-24).

‌Interestingly, it is the Western European countries that are most open to an independent military force or a federal government for the EU. It is the eastern countries that oppose this.

It's clear that God is the one who causes the ten kings to enthrone the beast. It is also similar to the book of Daniel, which repeatedly states that God, not men, is the one that sets up kings and deposes them. (Daniel 2:21; 4:17; 4:25; 4:32)

Therefore, we do not have to worry about how "likely" it is for Javier Solana to return. If God has determined him to return to a position of power, then nothing can stop it.

#8 - Antichrist's 7-Year Covenant

The Bible predicts that the Antichrist will make a 7-year contract with Israel, and possibly many others.

Daniel 9:27 says

27 And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week,

There are four features to this covenant. First, It is confirmed by a future “Roman” ruler. We know this because the one who confirms the covenant is from the same group of people who would later destroy the temple (mentioned in verse 26). Second, It is confirmed for seven years. In this passage one “week” is indisputably a week of years, based on context. Third, it is confirmed with Israel. We know this because the entire prophecy is decreed for the Jews and Jerusalem. Finally, it will contain a promise of military protection for Israel.‌

This last part isn’t in Daniel 9, but we know it because of other passages, such as Isaiah 28:15.

Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a pact.
The gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.” (Isaiah 28:15)

Many books and movies about the end times portray a European Antichrist making a 7-year peace treaty with Israel. This has also been widely anticipated by theologians and Bible scholars. Herbert Lockyer said in 1964, “And he, (the Roman prince, head of the revived Roman empire) shall confirm the covenant with many (of the people of Israel) for one week (seven years)…”

In 2002, Solana and a colleague proposed a new program to enhance relations with neighboring countries. As a result, in 2003, the EU’s executive branch launched the European Neighborhood Policy. The program has several partner countries, a map of which looks like a map of the old Roman Empire. Under the ENP, the European Union would pay member countries in exchange for their good behavior. Israel is an ENP member country.

In 2006, the European Union passed the ENPI, which finances the European Neighborhood Policy for a period of seven years, from 2007 to the end of 2013. After the first 7-year period was done, the European Union renewed the funding for the European Neighborhood Policy, under the upgraded ENI. This finances the European Neighborhood Policy for another seven years, from 2014, to the end of 2020.

In Spring of 2018, the EU’s executive branch proposed merging most EU foreign aid into one big mega-fund. The NDICI will finance the European Neighborhood Policy, and most other foreign aid, from January 1, 2021 to the end of 2027.

Here we have the end times Roman Empire making a 7 year contract with Israel and many other countries. So what’s missing? There is no promise of military protection.

If led by Solana, would the EU willing to provide military protection to its neighbors? Javier Solana would like the EU to use the military to become an “autonomous security provider in it’s neighborhood.” In another article, he said “

"The EU, after all, will be defined by its actions, and peace and security are among the public goods that it must provide, both within and beyond its borders." -Javier Solana, 2016

"The United States needs a strong EU for stability, to establish peace in neighboring territories." - Javier Solana, 2022

Perhaps the next 7-year contract with Israel, from January 1, 2028 - December 31, 2034 could be the final "covenant with death" that the Solana will confirm with Israel after his return to power in the EU.

Conclusion

As we've seen, prophecies often happen after a gap of time between them. Therefore, it is no problem that Solana has not been in power for 13 years.

Furthermore, fulfillments of prophecy often happen against all odds. This proves God's glory, and ability to tell the future.

9 Remember the former things long past,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘My plan will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’; (Isaiah 46:9-10)

7 Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it;
And, let him confront Me
Beginning with My establishing of the ancient nation.
Then let them declare to them the things that are coming
And the events that are going to take place. (Isaiah 44:7)

“I, the Lord, am the maker of all things,
Stretching out the heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth alone,
25 Causing the omens of diviners to fail,
Making fools of fortune-tellers;
Causing wise men to turn back
And making their knowledge ridiculous,
26 Confirming the word of His servant
And carrying out the purpose of His messengers. (Isaiah 44:24b-26a

As a result, we should not be surprised, and should perhaps expect, Solana to make his debut in the near future. And if the Antichrist is about to ascend, then the return of the Lord Jesus is not far behind.

Stay Tuned. Come Lord Jesus!
