There’s a recurrent theme in the Bible that says “that the Scripture might be fulfilled” or some close version thereof. And that’s an important part of the prophetic word of God that builds in the lives of true believers a strong and enduring hope. Many hundreds of examples in Scripture show God’s word foretelling a thing before it came to pass, and when it did it strengthened and reinforced in God’s true people that His word is absolutely true and dependable. Any student of biblical prophecy recognizes that not a single word of God ever fails. This is why the prophetic word and testimony of God in Christ is very important as we discern the signs of the end-times.
God’s word teaches us that certain things must and will occur before the end of this present age and return of Jesus Christ. Therefore nothing takes us by surprise, shock or awe, because we’re prepared for that which is to come. Today, I’ll touch on just six things occurring in the world at the present time that have either explicitly or implicitly been foretold by God’s prophetic word which is never meant to frighten us, but prepare and equip us in Christ for what’s coming. And God in Christ knows the end from the beginning for which He has shared many of those details with those of us who truly believe His word that we might be equipped to endure to the end.
While there’s always been an element of violence and lawlessness in the world, in recent years it’s gone global. That violence and lawlessness is no longer the exception, but is becoming the rule across many nations. Riots and rebellions create the death and destruction of many people, properties, businesses, and real estate at unprecedented levels. Open border policies have led to violent gangs infiltrating many nations. This article by dailymail.co.uk/news says, “It emerged earlier this month that Tren de Aragua, which has been dubbed the ‘epitome of evil’ and ‘MS-13 on steroids’, is already operating in 18 states.” As true believers we expect this to occur because Jesus foretold it, warning that “as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man” (Luke 17:26). In the days of Noah “the earth was filled with violence” (Gen. 6:11).
There’s also been an element of famines throughout the world, but there’s coming an end-time global famine that will be much worse in scope and magnitude and amplified by man. In recent years great quantities of poultry, beef, pork and vegetables have been culled on the auspice of bird flu and other diseases. And now the disturbing report that “Government seizes millions of pounds of food amid global crisis”. (Source) “Skepticism about the official narratives is high, and both (Mike) Adams and (Steve) Quayle assert that behind this trend lies a broader, sinister agenda. They argue that scarcity is being deliberately engineered to exert control and potentially subdue populations in the face of a looming global crisis, [that’s true] which could be economic, environmental, or even involving geopolitical warfare.” Of the global famine to come, God said “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine” (Rev. 6:6), meaning a day’s wages for a loaf of bread! Governments are a self-serving entity as they tax for their own needs while the general populace suffers food insecurity.
Thirdly, while the vast majority of earth’s population has historically rejected the truths of God and His Christ as delivered in the KJV of the Holy Bible that level of rejection is now increasing even among professing Christians. Evil spirits of unbelief inspire diminishing the Bible as false and incomplete. This article (here) reveals that Yuval Noah Harari of the WEF, Bill Gates and Pope Francis believe “the Bible in its current form does not fit into the WEF’s globalist vision, therefore, a new version must be created to reshape spirituality.” The Holy Bible will become banned which isn’t surprising. God warned that “the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Tim. 4:3–4). Attacks on the Holy Bible are now gaining popularity and acceptance.
As I’ve warned since 2013, Pope Francis, who is the only Jesuit pope ever, and enemy of the truth, will either become the Antichrist or false prophet. If not him then someone else from the Vatican. According to this source “Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, recently excommunicated by the Vatican, has issued a strong warning about Pope Francis’ collaboration with the World Economic Forum, which he claims are working to dismantle Christianity … Within the Church, he pursues a parallel agenda to erode its foundations, aiming to replace it with a philanthropic entity rooted in Masonic ideology.” I believe Catholicism is the great harlot church of Rev. 17, being as the Holy Spirit revealed: “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev. 17:5). Catholicism has murdered millions of people for centuries for non-conformance to her evils, but after WWII she deceptively remade herself to be a kinder and gentler church, but will again return with a global vengeance upon anyone who continues to reject her as the true church. She is an abomination!
Whether you are aware of it or not the world is being conditioned to receive the Rev. 13:16–17 “mark of the beast” even now and it’s being disguised as convenient, beneficial, safe and good! People are now getting brain implant chips by Elon Musk’s neurolink technology and computer chip implants in their hands. This is literally end-of-the-world stuff being developed right under our noses. This will soon become a mandated way of life. Are you paying attention to it? Is the Christian church paying attention to it? Additionally, nations will soon scrap cash currencies to embrace a universal currency for which even President-elect Donald Trump is excited as shown in this video link. And on the authority of Jesus Christ there will be no pre-trib rapture to spare anyone from the 7-year tribulation as the New World Order and One World Religion coalesce. The pre-trib rapture rejects the testimony of Jesus Christ and that’s exactly what Satan wants!
Wildfires rage in California. I mention this only to make us aware that in the near future “The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up” (Rev. 8:7). By this first Trumpet Judgment my prayer is that multitudes will turn to true faith in Christ. It’s true that in the recent past and continuing today unprecedented wildfires are destroying property and homes, but what we see today is nothing compared to what’s coming in the tribulation. And this is why God, in His love, mercy and grace gave us His prophetic word that we might be a people prepared for the fulfillment of His decreed end-time events. “Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion” (Heb. 3:15), reflecting here on ancient Israel’s rebellion at the edge of Canaan, her otherwise intended inheritance, see Num. 13 and 14.
My new book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” was written with much Bible study and prayer and reveals many truths in preparing unbelievers and believers alike for the 7-year tribulation and finding God’s safety and provision for the last 1,260 days of “great tribulation” (Matt. 24:21).
