Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including gonorrhoea and syphilis have hit record levels in Europe, according to new data. Gonorrhoea hit 106,331 cases – a 303% increase since 2015 – while syphilis more than doubled in the same period to 45,557.

Human-caused climate change turbocharged killer heat is baking the Southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. Sizzling daytime temperatures that triggered cases of heat stroke in parts of the United States were 35 times more likely and 2.5 degrees hotter (1.4 degrees Celsius) due to warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.

High temperatures which scientists say are being worsened by human-driven carbon emissions caused 47,690 deaths in Europe last year, a study published by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health during the world’s warmest year and Europe’s second-warmest year on record.

Millions of people are giving in to feelings of depression and despair when faced with the reality of global warming. Carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, followed by rising temperatures around the world. Sea levels are rising as ice melts, droughts are spreading and storms are getting stronger, leading to catastrophic floods.

Despair gets good people to give up the practice of virtue because Armageddon is coming upon all of us. Prophet Muhammad warned us of a group of extremists who would emerge, claiming to be more religious than all others but causing great harm to the Muslim Ummah: “They will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass through Islam as an arrow passes through its target.” (Sahih Bukhari 5057)

A Pew Research Center poll found that in South and Southeast Asia 55-60% of all Muslims believe in the Madhi’s imminent return; and in the Middle East and North Africa 51% do.

One of the signs of the End of Days is the arrival and defeat of Gog and Magog (Ya’juj and Ma’juj or Ajuj and Majuj). Gog and Magog can appear as individuals, tribes, counties, and in our days as racist nationalist states and political movements.

The Quran mentions Gog and Magog twice: “He said: “This (barrier) is a mercy from my Lord: but when the warning of my Lord comes to pass, He will reduce it to dust (and Gog and Magog—the Colonialist Empires, the Nazi racists, and the Communists would be released into the world); and the promise of my Lord is true.” (18:98)

So Gog and Magog are destructive human groups like the Colonialist Empires, the Nazi racists, the Communists and Isis type non-government murders as well as widespread human caused nature pollutions of Mother Earth; who near the time of the end of days will penetrate every part of the world like the persistently high levels of ozone pollution in Asia that are costing China, Japan and South Korea an estimated $63 billion annually in lost rice, wheat and maize crops.

The very worst period of human caused spread of Gog and Magog was the 30 years between the autumn of 1914 and the summer of 1945, when 150 million people were killed in World War I and World War II. In addition, nature caused spread of Gog and Magog according to Patterson and Pyle (1991) added between 24.7 and 39.3 million people worldwide who died from the Spanish flu pandemic.

Ezekiel 38, predicts the war of Gog and Magog which will be a harbinger of the Messianic era. God’s protection from the catastrophic Gog and Magog war that will destroy many people of the non-Jewish nations that will culminate in a gathering of former........
