Beyond Today Magazine: July–August 2024

Yes! Start my subscription

The world stands on the precipice of significant geopolitical change, a major factor in that being the direction America goes with the choice of its leadership. The United States has been experiencing severe decline, with its preeminent global position being challenged at every turn. Internally, the country is wracked with division and rotting in immorality. Lawlessness is on the rise in the country and throughout the world, while those who would follow the Bible face increasing resistance. Rampant lawlessness was foretold in the Bible as an indicator of the end of the age—the time leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. Where must you turn? Many pin their hopes for the future on men vying for political office and restored national power, but those hopes will ultimately be dashed no matter who wins. Times will grow worse. But don’t fall into despair. The last best hope is coming with the future Christ will bring. Download this issue in PDF.
