Sense something is wrong with Britain but can't put your finger on it? Has Britain angered God? See Is Britain in Danger of Judgement? For a more detailed analysis of the spiritual state of Britain, download Britain in Danger.
Whatever worldview we hold, it should be consistent, coherent and comprehensive. It should, for example, give an explanation for:
Christian Apologetics defends the Christian worldview using the Bible, logical reasoning, philosophy, knowledge and human experience in order to tackle the big questions of life.
World events are moving rapidly to a climax and the end of the age. World organisations, the EU, cashless trading and electronic ID, international terrorism, the growth of Israel and severe weather events have all come to prominence within some 50 years! Since all these things are foreseen in the Bible, why not see what else it says? The Bible says there is hope in a dark world - see Steps You Must Take
After 6,000 years of steady human progression, the global scenario suddenly seems far less certain. Life as we know it looks threatened by rapidly increasing population, reduced food stocks, water and energy shortages, massive budget deficits and global warming. Scholars of Bible prophecy interpret what we are observing as signs of "the end of the age" and couple them with other biblical signs. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes and predicts that the end of the age will be dramatic.
Winston Churchill, Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Bush, George W. Bush and Gordon Brown have all called for a "New World Order" or "World Government". This is in line with Bible prophecy, which points to a brutal end time world system linked to the historic Roman Empire!
Is the European Union a forerunner of this political system? Is Roman Catholicism the prophesied apostate church associated with this system?
An electronic RFID 'tag'. It is the size of a grain of rice and is human implantable.
Today's electronic ID technology includes smart cards (cards with chips), biometrics, and radio-frequency identification (RFID). RFID is everywhere e.g. in supermarkets, general retailers, electronic road tolls, and in your pet dog. The bad news is that electronic ID gives massive control over individuals, and the ultimate electronic ID is just around the corner - the mark of Revelation!
Iran has said: "Israel should be eliminated from the pages of history". Such intense hatred of Israel will lead to a final world war in the Middle East.
Much of the Middle East conflict is over Israel's very existence, the concept of 'occupied land' and the ownership of Jerusalem. But Israel has a strong legal case on all three issues:
For more detail see Israel's Legal Borders and The Palestinian Problem. The real reason for Israel's prominence today is biblical rather than political. The Bible says that God chose a special people to be His witness to the world. According to prophecy, at the end of the age the nations will come to know God through Israel.

Predictions of future temperature rise depend upon estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. Predictions typically give a rise of 2-5 degree C relative to 1990 levels by 2100. The IPCC prediction models assume that man-made greenhouse gases are largely responsible for warming, at least over the past 50 years. But is this really true? In particular, what about the sun?
For a biblical perspective on climate change see Is God Changing Our Climate? and Reaping the Real Whirlwind.
9-11 was the worst ever act of terrorism
"Terrorism is any act intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or international organization to do or abstain from doing any act" [UN Panel, 2005]
Lawlessness is a lack of civil order or peace usually arising either from failure of government, or defiance of the law.
Statistics show a relentless increase in violence and terrorist attacks. Since 1900, violent crime in the UK is up at least 8,000%. And international terrorism is up some 15,000% on 1960 levels! Bible prophecy says that lawlessness will increase at the end of the age.
EU Equality Directives are forcing serious changes in UK Law. These changes affect, amongst others, employers, voluntary organisations, providers of good and services, and the public sector. Essentially it is anti-discrimination legislation, which in principle is to be welcomed.
But in practice this legislation is far from 'equal' and infringes the human rights of Christians. Humanistic equality law invariably trumps strongly held personal beliefs, particularly wrt morality and ethics. Simply expressing Christian belief can now result in loss of employment. Such treatment is unwarranted and clearly is a form of persecution. Jesus said widespread persecution of believers is a sign of the end of the age (Mark 13.9-13).

Will elections have any effect upon Britain’s prosperity? Is it possible for a government that persecutes Christians via EU Equality Laws and ignores God's word (the Bible) to make a country prosperous? Who has overall power and authority, God or government?
There are unseen spiritual laws (God's Law) that override all the plans of a secular government. Britain has done much to anger God and is in great danger. How can Britain be ‘blessed’ in terms of well-being and prosperity? What does it have to do? See Authority and Power in Elections.
