It’s unfolding as we speak. The Bible nowhere says the Kingdom would be established instantly. People of different cultures, religions, races and nations are gradually coming together. Signs of this are multi cultural nations and things like interfaith. You can’t get anymore wolf and lamb than the hate between religions but they are learning to live in peace. This is happening and is the fulfilment of prophecy.
The oneness and equality of all humans be they wolf or sheep, (antagonistic sects, races and nations) is being extolled and acknowledged all over the world by such things as the universal declaration of human rights. There are so many signs that this prophecy is being fulfilled right now that it’s impossible to miss.
What a very sad commentary on the ability of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to establish a Kingdom of peace... if what we see now in the world is that kingdom unfolding as we speak!
The scriptures specifically state that during the Millennial reign of Christ, satan will be bound for 1000 years so that he can no longer deceive the nations (Revelation 20:1-3). Today’s world with increasing violence, wars. corruption, perversion, self-centeredness, abuse, human trafficking and on and on gives loud testimony that satan is very much on the loose influencing nations and people and that Jesus Christ is not ruling the nations of this world with a rod of iron at present.
Yes, there are many signs abounding right now; signs that the return of Christ is near- at the doors! But I think it’s sad you believe in some vague invisible coming of Christ (Matthew 24:23-26), as this definitely makes you vulnerable to acceptance of a united one world government/ religion under the Antichrist.
According to the scriptures there is a timeframe and it is Christ alone who ushers in His Kingdom. It is not the work of humanistic effort to bring about unity and peace.
In the linked article below, I think the reference to the New Age movement could also be substituted with Baha’i, Dominionism, New Apostlolic reformation or any group that holds to the delusional idea that humans can bring about Utopia or God’s Kingdom through their unified effort.
“Anti is a Greek prefix that not only means “opposed to” but “in the place of.” Antichrist will indeed oppose Christ but in the most diabolically clever way possible: by pretending to be Christ. For the world to follow and worship him, a false Christianity must become the world religion—a “Christianity” that all religions can accept and that embraces all religions into “one faith.” Hence the necessity for today’s growing apostasy: to create an apostate church to be the Antichrist’s earthly bride, just as the true church is Christ’s heavenly bride. Such is the important role of the New Age movement and the many accelerating delusions and seductions in these “last days.”
