What Is Eschaton Transition

PLEASE CHALLENGE MY BLOG ENTRIES WITH PRAYER & TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY, RESEARCH, AND COMPARE MY WORDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE, TO ENSURE THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT. 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

“ (17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: (18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Ephesians 1: 17-18 KJV

Eschaton Transition is my blog dealing with the study of eschatology, and biblical & secular conspiracy theories, specifically related to Judeo-Christian prophetic predictions. To better understand what I will be posting, below are definitions of the following words Eschaton, Transition, Eschatology, Prophecy, Biblical, Secular and Conspiracy Theory from the New Oxford American eDictionary. Understanding these words, I believe, will help and act as a foundation in understanding future posts, the biblical eschatological predictions I will focus on, and related matters I will write about.

There has been an incredible increases in knowledge, practices and inventions in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) {Daniel 12:4}; the changing tiers of U.S. and world economies, physical currencies converting to digital & quantum currency, and upheavals in politics and government {Revelation 13:11-18}; the influence(s) popular culture has had directly and indirectly on society-at-large {Ephesians 6:10-12}; the on-going belief and fear some have that secret societies like the Bilderberg Group (ca. May 1954 AD), Council on Foreign Relations (ca. July 29, 1921 AD), Freemasons (ca. late 16^th to 17^th century AD), Illuminati (ca. May 1, 1776 AD), Knights Templar (ca. 1129 AD), Opus Dei (ca. 2 October 1928 AD), and Trilateral Commission (ca. July 1973 AD) to name a few, are the direct or indirect cause and/or influence on many of the world issues, events and calamities on both a micro and macro level {Ephesians 2:2-3}.

To conclude, my end goal is to show the number of prophecies that have come to pass and are coming to pass (transition) since the rebirth of the nation of Israel on May 14, 1948 {Amos 9:14-15} after its destruction under the rule of 1^st century AD Roman Empire {Jeremiah 44:11}.

Here is the sinner’s prayer if you are moved to give your life to Christ –

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.”
