Are we are headed fast towards the tribulations

Those 7 years of tribulations might begin when radical islam gaining a majority controlling interest in all western nations.

How close are we? Depends on if you believe the liberal western voices marching in support of islamic Jihadis are the majority or the minority outliers under a MSM microscope.

Could this be what will take place at some point?A key sign may be if a slick talking "peace maker" rises out of the islamic scene to be the great saviour (i.e. The Beast) and broker a deal in the Mid East that would usher in the 7 years tribulation.

There is no doubt that if this were to take place Christians would be persecuted like never before in recent history. Also, while everyone is focused on vaccines and digitals chips as the make of the beast, is it possible that the makr will be conversion to Islam? Islams stated goal os to convert the whole world or enslave of kill anyone who refuses. How hard would it be to imagine being compelled to convert to Islam out you would no longer be able for buy/sell or conduct business. The closer we move to digital currency the easier I see that as a possibility.

I do believe that the Islam is from the line of Ishmael, as claimed by the prophet Mohammed himself iirc. God was clear about the line of Ishmaelites, I will make him a great nation and he will be a donkey of a man making war with all around him. I think people blindly embracing what they do not understand will prove to be detrimental to western society.

I think this is all interesting from a historical perspective. Jesus said not to look to heaven for a sign of things to come but to be prepared because no one knows the time but the Father.
