Third World War and The End Times
Former President Donald Trump warned that the shocking and brutal attack by Hamas militants against Israeli civilians over the weekend has the ingredients for the Third World War, therefore the begning of the The End Times. Speaking to a large crowd in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire today, President Trump drew connections between the uncontrolled influx of young, military-aged male immigrants into the country by the Biden administration and the Hamas-style attack akin to Pearl Harbor. He referred to the immigrants as “some of the same people who just attacked Israel” and stated that under Biden’s open border policy, the United States has allowed “tens of thousands of terrorists into our country.”
“We are in grave danger of having a Third World War,” President Trump said during his campaign stop. “This will be the destruction of the world. This is a real deal.”
President Trump said he would “stop the Third World War” if reelected. In reference to the ongoing Kremlin’s attack on Ukraine and the scenes of war in Israel and Gaza, he claimed that no bloodshed would have occurred under his leadership. He also mentioned the significant stockpile of military weapons left behind in Afghanistan by the Biden administration when discussing the Hamas attack on Israel, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the United States and other countries with links to other terrorist groups.
Ghazi Hamas, a Hamas spokesperson, told the BBC that the group received support from the Iranian Islamic regime in their ambush on a small farming town in Israel.
We are living in the last days. After this Church age, there will be the kingdom age. God’s calling to the Church is because of the kingdom.
God’s will is that in each of His servants, there should be a genuine desire for the kingdom to come.
“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Mt. 6:10
We need to cooperate to hasten the coming of the kingdom, and in this regard, it is crucial that we preach the gospel of the kingdom to all nations.
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.” Mt. 24:14
Here, we can see the relationship between the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom and the coming of the end.
The end referred to in the text certainly points to the end of this age. This age will be concluded by the time of the “great tribulation” that will culminate in the Lord’s coming in the clouds. This will be the end, the end of this age.
We can clearly see that the Church is responsible for working with God to bring about the kingdom. Since the kingdom will only come with the end of this age, we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom to hasten the end. That is why the gospel of the kingdom must be preached.
What is the gospel of the kingdom?
We understand that the kingdom will be the time when Christ and victorious believers will reign. But we need to go beyond that.
Some insist on distinguishing between the gospel of grace and the gospel of the kingdom. I believe this distinction is unnecessary, but for the sake of understanding, we can say that the gospel of grace concerns God’s blessing upon man, and the gospel of the kingdom is directed against the demonic oppression of Satan.
“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” Mt. 12:28
The kingdom means many things, but what the Lord mentions here should be placed above all else. The kingdom is a direct opposition to the rule of the devil. The Lord declares that the kingdom is the expulsion of demons. The kingdom is the manifestation of heavenly authority.
The Church was chosen by God to resist Satan and to introduce the kingdom of God on earth. That’s why in the first mention of the Church in the Bible, it comes with the word Hades (translated as hell).
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mt. 16:18
The manifestation of the reality of the kingdom will be during the millennium. During this time, Satan will be bound for a thousand years. This will also be the time when we will judge the fallen angels. The future of the Church includes the judgment of the fallen angels, and this judgment will occur when Satan is bound for a thousand years.
Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention the things of this life? 1 Cor. 6:3

The kingdom will be the time when Satan and his principalities will be judged and cast into the abyss. The powers of Hades will be destroyed in the era of the kingdom.
The kingdom will be the time when the victory of the cross will find its full manifestation, and the sons of God will be fully revealed. In the era of the kingdom, there will be no influence of any demon.
Therefore, to preach the gospel of the kingdom is to declare that God reigns in the heavens today and will reign over the earth tomorrow, completely destroying the works of Satan.
The gospel of the kingdom is to confront hell and the powers of darkness.
“For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
It seems clear that the gospel of the kingdom includes casting out demons and healing the sick because diseases themselves are the work of the evil one.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.” Acts 10:38
We cannot preach the gospel of the kingdom without engaging in spiritual warfare. To manifest the sovereignty of the new King, Satan and his powers must be expelled.
The era in which we live is called the era of the Church and the era of grace. But the Bible also refers to this era as a wicked and adulterous generation (Mt. 12:39), an unbelieving and perverse generation (Mt. 17:17), and a corrupt and perverse generation (Phil. 2:15). Thus, it is God’s will that this era comes to an end and the kingdom is introduced.
We need to cooperate with God to hasten the end. We do this by praying for the kingdom to come and by preaching the gospel of the kingdom, which includes the expulsion of demons and the healing of the sick.
“Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations, we must enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. Acts 28:23
We need to preach the same gospel that the apostles preached. Today, there is only one gospel that is relevant to our time: the gospel of the kingdom. We must cooperate with God to introduce the next era, and we do this by preaching the gospel of the kingdom. We will become more effective workers in God’s hands if we always keep the kingdom of Christ in view.
God desires the end to come, but if His children fail to work with Him against this era and do not desire His kingdom to come, He will delay the arrival of the kingdom. But when we truly reject the present era and long for the coming of the kingdom, the Lord will rise up and act.
Never assume that the end comes automatically. If we do not desire God’s will, His will will be delayed.
Maranata!
