My newest book, 9 Wars of the End Times, was motivated by the fact that ever since I established Lamb & Lion Ministries in 1980, I have received phone calls, texts and email messages every time a war broke out in the Middle East, asking me if I thought it was the War of Armageddon. Thus, over time, it became obvious to me that most Christians were familiar with only one end time war.
One year, I was leading a pilgrimage group through Israel, and when I got to the Valley of Armageddon, I asked the group how many were aware of any end-time wars prophesied in the Bible, besides the Battle of Armageddon. No one raised a hand. So, I started telling them about all the end-time wars in God’s Prophetic Word, and they were amazed.
That’s when I put together a PowerPoint presentation about the wars of the end times and started presenting it at Bible prophecy conferences. Again, I discovered that even people who were well-informed about Bible prophecy were unaware of how many end-time wars are prophesied in the Bible.
It was then that I decided to write this book.
It is my hope that this book will help to clarify end-time Bible prophecy for you, and that in the process, it will draw you into a deeper relationship with God as you see His sovereignty over all the affairs of Mankind. I pray too that it will motivate you to delve deeper into God’s Prophetic Word, for as you do so, your hope regarding the future will grow exponentially.
I hope too that you will rejoice over the fact that most of the horrible wars that lay ahead of us will occur after the Rapture of the Church, and thus believers will be immune to them.
Future Wars
War has now become a never-ending reality for us, just as it has been for the nation of Israel ever since it was established in 1948. Our wars have drained our financial resources and have exhausted us emotionally.
Nor is there any relief in sight. For the first time ever, all the end-time signs of the Bible have converged, making it clear that we are now living on the threshold of the Tribulation — that seven-year period of constant warfare that is described in the book of Revelation.
One of the specific signs Jesus told us to watch for was an epidemic of “wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24:6). He further emphasized the proliferation of violence later in the same passage when He said He would return at a time when the world will be like it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37). Genesis 6 reveals that Noah’s society was characterized by two things — immorality and violence. Both have reached exponential proportions in our day and time, and there is no prospect of their receding. In short, we are living on borrowed time.
The Bible makes it clear that the wars of the Tribulation will be unparalleled in their carnage, resulting ultimately in the deaths of more than one-half of the world’s population.
The reason that the world is going to experience such unthinkable horror is because of the development of nuclear weapons that can be delivered anywhere in the world with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Also, since the first and only use of nuclear weapons at the end of World War II, their power has increased exponentially to include thermonuclear hydrogen bombs that make the original bombs look like firecrackers.
Resounding Good News
However, there is hope amid the bad news that we are facing the worst wars in human history. It is the hope of the Rapture of the Church which the Bible indicates will occur before the Tribulation begins. This is the promise contained in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 that Jesus will take His Church out of this world before God pours out His wrath upon all of humanity, as He did in the days of Noah.
Further good news revealed by Bible prophecy is that when Jesus returns to this earth at the end of the terrible period of Tribulation, He will establish a worldwide kingdom centered in Jerusalem, and the earth will be flooded with peace, righteousness and justice for a thousand years.
But first, the world must pay for its unrepentant rebellion against God and His Word by suffering through a series of these 9 Wars of the End Times.
Oh how I lit up when I saw your name, David Reagan🥰
I so wish my hubby (gone now for over 4 yrs) and I could have gone on one of YOUR pilgrimages to Israel~ However, your longtime friend, Joe Wright,🤣 was with us in 1999 when we were blessed to go to Israel 🥰
I’m immensely grateful for not just this article but your new book! I often wonder how you’re doing and about your wife, too, these days.
I will look forward to reading this new book.
And as I told you in person years back in Wichita, when you teach with your infectious passion, I sit at your feet like a dry sponge!
It was because of your visit to CCC in Wichita in the late 80’s that I learned about Bible Prophecy and have been on fire ever since.
“The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and give you peace”
I miss YOU, Dr. Reagan, and thank you with all my heart for teaching me all you have!
Jesus, our Blessed Hope☝️💜
Maranantha, Come quickly Lord Jesus 🙏
I agree with Connie, I miss his infectiousness and eagerly await each book which I share with family and friends. His works are easier to understand. Thank you Dr. Reagan! and thank you Connie.
I agree with both of you. Dr. Reagan is a gem that was treasured by us all. No offense to anyone at Lamb & Lion Ministries but to reference the movie Star Trek VI:
There is a scene where Spock is speaking to another Vulcan and says “I intend you to replace me.” To which the other Vulcan replies “I could only succeed you, sir.”
Dr. Reagan can never be replaced, only succeeded (though Nathan Jones comes close in my opinion).
I don’t know how involved you are in the blog now but if you read this…Hi, Nathan!
Welcome back, Billy! Good to have you with us again.
I’m back! Years ago, before the Christ in Prophecy Facebook group, I would frequently post on the blog from the very beginning of its creation. Then I joined the Facebook group (on and off several times) and abandoned the blog. I’ve never been a big Facebook fan as I see it as a waste of time but more importantly as another platform of control and censorship by the left. So I finally pulled the plug on my FB account. While I will miss the ability to post content, I don’t miss FB. I’ve alreay posted my first comment on another article on this blog so I am officially back and completely happy and content. It’s great to be back!
