PEOPLE ARE on the move as never before and illegal immigration is actually being encouraged by left-wing governments. It is one of the signs given to Daniel of the last days.
The World Migrant Report for 2022 states that Europe and Asia each hosted 87 and 86 million international migrants while North America has taken 59 million. More than 40% of international migrants were born in Asia.
The number of foreign-born people living in the US in 1970 was 12 million but in 2019 it was 51 million.
Illegal immigration is hard to estimate but America expects 10 million during the Biden term of four years as President. In March 2024 Elon Musk claimed the Biden Administration had flown 320,000 illegal migrants into the country. Middle East and African nations have been pouring into Europe changing the political, religious and economic character of European countries.
Left wing Governments see multiculturalism as a means of breaking established Judeo-Christian social structures and changing the entire character of Western nations. They encourage illegal immigration and flood Western countries with Muslims, Hindus, Communists and anybody else till Christmas Carols are considered offensive, mosques and pagan temples fill the skyline.
But migration is not the only evidence that men are running to and fro in the last days. It is estimated that 10 million people fly every day on 100,000 flights. That amounts to 3.65 billion per year. Of course many people make mulitple flights each year.
The number of Cargo ships is 17,784; Bulk Carriers 12,941; crude Oil Tankers 8,258; Chemical Tankers 6122; Container ships 5,574; Passenger ships 5,369 and Liquified Gas Tankers 2,180. These
continually ply the high seas. In addition there are more than 10,000 naval vessels.
In 2009 the United Nations estimated that 3 million people moved to cities each week. That’s over 150 million per year! At that rate it won’t be long before most of world population will dwell in cities with no means of supporting themselves when famine and earthquakes strike during the Tribulation.
In 1950 there were 750million living in cities and this increased to 4.8 billion in 2018.
Our generation has seen people moving nationally and internationally as never before and it is a sign that we are in the last days.
The next great sign will be the disappearance of Christians at the Rapture and then the Great Tribulation will burst upon this world.
Jesus Christ is coming soon. Signs are multiplying. He came 2000 years ago to provide a free pardon for all our sin and all who call on Him for God’s mercy receive eternal life and a home in heaven. Eternal life is a free gift for all who turn from sin to Christ for
“God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:17-19).
