I agree and i get that.
But whats happening now: Could this be like an "appetizer" or a preview, or a preclude or whatever is the proper english word here? Because why else is the MASSIVE fish-deaths occuring? Its never been this much in the past. Even secular scientists are worried, so its not just some endtime fear mongering.
I believe its God telling people WAKE UP

I can't see it as a wake-up call unless it is clearly understood to be wrath-related. Not while there are even greater hints taken place such as the rise of Islam, Israel's existence, the capital city being moved to Jerusalem. Since 1976 preachers have been warning about the 'mark of the beast' and now we have chip technology (once considered nothing more than a conspiracy theory) not becoming so commonplace that now they want to chip diabetes patients with a chip to monitor their glucose.
I would agree that we are in a 'transition' period. I do believe that the Antichrist is alive right now and is awaiting the day of his entrance upon the world's scene. He might already be a politician on the scene. There is a young leader in Austria that makes me think it could be him. His name Sebastian Kurz -- some have even speculated that his surname is a form of "Christ."
But I won't be here when it all goes down.

The chief means of execution during the tribulation will be the guillotine. Muslims just love to cut off them some heads.
For years Bible teachers have suspected that the Antichrist will come out of Europe (I mentioned Kurs) above. On the other hand, Nimrod was from the line of Esau as were other prosecutors of Israel such as Haman and King Herod.
In Daniel we read . . . "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all" (Daniel 11:37).
The God of his fathers would be the God of Abraham, of which he is from Abraham through Esau.
He will not have 'the desire of women' - which indicates that he hates the Messiah, of which all Jewish women desire (and still do) to give birth of Him.
He will not regard any god . . . not sure, exactly, but Islam does have the creed that there is no god but Allen . . .
Yet, admittedly, it is speculation.

Where, oh, where did this malarkey come from? Is there supposed to be scripture for this or is it just off the top of your head? I believe that at the start of the millennial reign there will be defiance. Therefore the "rod of iron" will be needed. While Satan is locked away and God's truths fully out in the open, people will start to come around.
I predict within one generation everyone will see how blessed they would be doing things God's way. The Lord is going to present that time (1000 years) as a contrast of six thousand years of man and Satan ruling. The difference will be astounding.
Christ will make over the earth to hold all the people in the second resurrection. This may even involve paving over some or all of the seas. Rev. 21:1 "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea."

"And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him" (Luke 12:4-5).
This is a Millennial passage. Jesus taught constantly about the coming Kingdom.
"There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed" (Isaiah 65:20).
Much of Isaiah deals with the Messiah's coming Kingdom.
"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel" (Psalms 2:8-9).
The Messiah is not going to be a nice Man to rebellious sinners during the Millennium.
There is your malarkey . . .

This is a warning about the leaven of the Pharisees.
This is after the millennial reign, the GWTJ. This is when the New Heaven and New Earth are established (verse 17).
This is also not the millennial reign.
This part is true, but like I said they will learn better in short order. Then they won't be sinners anymore.
