Author and theologian Steve Wohlberg has studied eschatology for over 40 years and in his new book “Approaching Armageddon,” he makes it clear that he believes we are living in the last days.
 “I have never seen such a cluster of biblical signs being fulfilled all around us at the same time as the world is now witnessing,” says Wohlberg. “We are now seeing an unprecedented uptick of signs —disasters, wars, famines, sexual sin—like Lot’s day. We also see violence like Noah’s day and the ‘increase of knowledge’ predicted to occur in ‘the time of the end,’ according to Daniel 12:4. Look at the West Coast fires that are burning throughout California and Oregon. This is a record. So is the temperature, up to 126% in Los Angeles. I grew up in L.A., and it was never that hot. This is all happening in the time of a global pandemic and global lockdowns, which is unparalleled. Then you add the riots, rage, and political divisions. Revelation 11:18 clearly says ‘The nations were angry’ before the world as we know it comes to an end.”
Wohlberg establishes the validity of predictive prophecy in the first few chapters of “Approaching Armageddon.” says Wohlberg. “It is interesting that the book of Daniel is divided into both prophetic timelines and practical stories which show Daniel and his three friends standing firm for God in times of crisis. These stories are lessons for us. Thus, Biblical prophecy and practical godliness need to merge in our thinking, going beyond just academic discussions about end-time theories.”
