As we navigate the complexities of our modern world, many are compelled to ask: Are we living in the last days? This question is not merely a theological or philosophical inquiry but arises from a convergence of current events and historical patterns that seem to echo warnings from sacred texts.
The Signs of Our Times
As the Psalmist reminds us in Psalm 12:8, “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.” This observation sets the tone for a world where morality seems to blur, and those who perpetrate evil often rise to prominence.
In Mark 13:3-8, we are presented with a prophetic dialogue. As Jesus sits on the Mount of Olives, His disciples inquire about the signs of the end times. He warns them, “Take heed lest any man deceive you.” The prophecies continue to resonate with contemporary events: “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” We witness wars, rumors of wars, natural disasters—including earthquakes and famines—such as those described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11. All these are depicted as the beginnings of sorrows, signs indicating a world in turmoil. These are going on now in October 2024, all over the world both wars and hurricanes!
The landscape of our planet reflects these warnings: devastating earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and a noticeable shift in animal behavior, as bears and coyotes wander further into suburban areas. Such phenomena contribute to an overarching sense of strife across the globe.
Historic Parallels
Reflecting on history, especially the rise of totalitarian regimes, we see patterns that should not be ignored. When Adolf Hitler ascended to power in 1933, he needed to manufacture a crisis to solidify his “authority”. The burning of the Reichstag (Parliament) was a pivotal event used to justify repressive measures against perceived enemies, particularly communists ( far left) and Jews, reiterating the adage that “if you make the lie big enough and repeat it often enough, the people will believe it.”
Fast forward to 2001, where we find striking similarities. In the aftermath of the September 11 “attacks”, the United States government, led by the then president, George W. Bush, responded with heightened security measures reminiscent of wartime propaganda and paranoia. The War on Terror was proclaimed, and under the guise of national security, civil liberties were increasingly compromised.
Critics argue that these events were orchestrated to pave the way for a more controlled society. The destruction of the World Trade Center has been framed by some as a “false flag” operation designed to unite the populace against common enemies while granting the government sweeping powers, notably through the implementation of the Homeland Security Act and the Patriot Act. In otherwords, it was “an inside job”.
Eschatological Concerns
In contemplating the implications of modern governance, some draw connections to the concept of the “mark of the beast.” In Revelation 13:16-17, we read of a system that mandates a mark for “economic participation”. Speculation arises around technologies being developed for tracking and control, echoing warnings from biblical texts.
As discussions about implantable microchips surface in healthcare debates, many express concern over the potential for government overreach. Such developments could result in people being categorized based on their compliance, further endangering civil liberties and leading to an age where dissent is branded unpatriotic.
With President Biden opening borders and the rise of crime and disorder from the illegal immigrants, certain factions within society incite chaos, drawing parallels to the lawlessness foretold in biblical prophecies. Figures and organizations align with ideologies that undermine societal structures, invoking fear and division.
A Call to Awareness and Action
The narrative of our times is both alarming and compelling. Scripture warns us not to be lulled into complacency but to remain vigilant—”Watch therefore, for you neither know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matthew 25:13). We must pay attention to the world around us, seek deeper understanding, and prepare spiritually for the challenges ahead.
In these precarious times, those who are aware of the signs are urged to turn to faith and seek guidance from God. As Isaiah 55:7 encourages, let the wicked forsake their ways and return to the Lord for mercy.
The Hope of Redemption
While the circumstances may seem dire, we are reminded of a profound truth: ultimate hope lies in faith. “Keep your candles lit and your wicks trimmed!” Let us remain steadfast, prepared for the return of Yeshua, our Savior. The signs are all around us; it is crucial that we heed them and stand firm in our beliefs amidst the tempest of this world.
UPDATE: October 2024
A rewrite of the above adding the current situations:
ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?
Horrifying, but exciting stuff!
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Mark 13:3-8 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (they’re saying that yes, Yeshua is the Christ, but…); and (but) shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be you not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Earthquakes, asteroids, wild fires and volcanic eruptions, floods, animals losing their fear of man (bears, coyotes and mountain lions in the suburbs of cities), etc.
Read all of Isaiah, then the following.
Matt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places (fracking – which has been causing earthquakes), and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences (covid19, typhus, typhoid, bubonic plague, and all the diseases that come with homelessness – i.e. people using the bathroom in the street where-ever they want); and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven (chem-trails, asteroids, satellites falling from the sky).
Isa 30:30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Jer 15:3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
Isa 56:9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.
Twin Towers Falling (New York 2001)
Isa 30:12-14 Wherefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant. And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
Isa 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters (body fluids) in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Speculation:
When Hitler came to power in 1933, his highest desire was to be dictator. In order to be approved for this position, he needed to create an event that would set him up as a hero against what was the common enemy at that time: communism. These were seen as a faction party started by the Jews, which Carl Marx, a Jew, was the author of.
Hitler said “if you make the lie big enough, and repeat it often enough, the people will come to believe it”. (to which I might add: only if they are stupid enough – and don’t know God!)
Hitler burnt down the Parliament building in Berlin (Feb 27, 1933), blamed it on the communists and passed his own homeland security and patriot acts; which nullified the constitution of Germany, thereby giving him dictatorial powers and removing all civil rights of the people. Then he had complete freedom to persecute the Jews.
In the concentration camps, all the inmates were numbered by the company known as IBM.
It all fits together, with prophecy, like an interlocking zipper closing up.
Fast forward to the year 2001.
George W. Bush is a member of the “secret society” known as the “Skull & Bones” and others. This society is a notoriously evil faction of those who want a “one world government” and is fronted by the “higher up” Masons, The World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Economic Forum (WEF), and other evil businesses… the “rank and file” (us regular people) are kept from the knowledge… unless God teaches them- and they’re smart enough to do the research. The higher ups consist of bank presidents, business owners, industrial moguls, and the like.
Bush, like Hitler, wanted a war. He needed “an event” that would make him as a “hero” to the American people. So he instigated a lie. The so called “terrorist groups”, who happened to be middle eastern, were seen as a “potential threat” to the USA and its interests around the world.
Bush staged the “9/11“ attack on the World Trade Center in New York, blamed it on a Middle Eastern terrorist cell, and was given permission to pass a “Homeland Security and Patriot acts, thereby nullifying the US’s constitution. Now he is free to accuse and arrest anybody that he suspects of being a “terrorist”.
The World Trade Center fell to dust. The biggest piece found in the ruins was a piece of a telephone dial. The “attack” was a demolition in the same fashion that companies use to demolish a building by using explosives to bring it down. It was a hoax, a lie made up by the US government to wage war on a perceived enemy. Bush then went to Iraq and made this war, with the people rallying behind him. This was the biggest “false flag”, yet also ordained of God: Jeremiah 10:23; Prov 16:1, 4. Yet the people still don’t believe it. They believe the lie.
The United States government and military want permission to wage this imaginary war on “terrorism” on US citizens in their own country. And the current president, Joseph Biden is well on his way to helping it along when he opened wide the gates (boarders) to the USA with the so called “VP” Kamala Harris as “boarder czar”.
Mark of the beast
The beast is the government headed by a dictator.
Rev 13:16-17 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore (cancer) upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Speculation:
Under the guise of “National Security”, the company IBM is once again going to number the people. This time by the injection under the skin of a computer chip. At the time of this writing, under Obama-care, it would be an injectable “medical device”. This, initially, will be made to be seen by the people as needed for medical purposes/records. This is a nothing more than a tracking device monitored by satellites to keep track of every person in the country. Ultimately, those who refuse to take this chip will be seen as “unpatriotic” and will be taken to one of the many so called “FEMA” camps located throughout the United States. There, these people are held without trial or recourse for indefinite periods of time; and possibly murdered. This will be forced upon all humans around the world. But we believers, MUST stand against them! We WILL be killed for our faith. But our reward will be well worth it!
The chip is known (proven) to cause cancer at the injection site due to inflammation. It was first put into pets to track them for their owners should they ever disappear. To prove that the chip is the Biblical “Mark of the beast”, it is found in Rev 16:2.
Those who refuse the chip will not be allowed to buy or sell anything including food, shelter, clothing, and medical needs.
UPDATE: 2023: This is actually happening NOW! There are many people in the USA that have taken a chip in their hands and heads.
The current president, (at the time of this writing) Obama, in order to implement the so called “Obama Care” medical service coverage, the chip may be coerced on people who are unaware that their rights as citizens are gone. Those who refuse to accept it will be seen as a risk of spreading disease. Therefore they will be targeted as “enemies of the state” and arrested. There is even talk of the chip to be coerced on people applying for food assistance or required to get employment.
The lies the government is trying to push on the people is phenomenal. Watch the various videos. Situations are done in order to incite the people in favor of stricter gun control laws. The government is trying to remove the first and second amendment rights from the people, which are the right to free speech and the right to bear arms, so they can control the people. It will be done in such a gradual manner that the people will think it reasonable, and will give up their armaments. And the “elete” government is totally defying the 3rd amendment to allow governors to defend their states against the Federal government!
The deception is deep and subtle.
Also, go to youtube.com and do a search on Weather control. The military channel actually did a film about these on television. They “took us” over the site in a helicopter.
Jesus said, “Watch. I say again watch.”
Matt 24:42-43 Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered (allowed) his house to be broken up.
Matt 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matt 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
These ARE the last days! Pay attention, Folks. It’s here! We are in the 70th week of Daniel.
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
UPDATE: January 2024
The current president, Joseph Robinette Biden, on the day he got into office, opened wide the southern boarder to the USA to allow ANYONE in without vetting. WITHOUT the authority of WE THE PEOPLE as stated in the constitution which he and his ilk are working to eliminate! They are fighting for a dictatorship.
The votes for a new president are in, Donald John Trump was nominated for the Republicans; Joe Biden, who wasn’t even on the ballad got the vote for the democrats. We can only pray that God does NOT put him in again or his (vice president!). He has destroyed the country totally. The unwelcome hordes are coming to America from all around the world, many of them are terrorists and evil cartel; they are bringing in a poison called fentinal which is killing thousands a day. The murder rate is way up now because of them. The military is weak, the sports arenas are sick from this lgbtq and “transgender” crap brought on by satan. The 2024 Olympics in France were utterly destroyed by “trans” idiots and the ugly attitudes of the “judges”.
On October 7, 2023 while Israel was celebrating a holiday festival, the hamas from Gaza (located just SW under Israel in the middle east) attacked Israel killing thousands and kidnapping several hundred civilians. That war is still continuing now in ‘24 (currently September).
All over the world lawlessness and destruction is being permitted by illegal immigrants! The police are being shut out of areas… which are being taken over by “democrats” who want do do away with them (the police)… Memorial Statues are being torn down and destroyed, businesses and stores are being set ablaze and robbed! People have gone nuts! and it’s all because of one man… George Soros who funds the cult “Black lives matter” and ANTIFA (a para military terrorist group) (Antifascist which is exactly what they are!)… which is run by all white people! He is not the only one causing riots and lawlessness. But there are very wealthy business owners involved as well… The so called W.O.K.E. started in Germany with Hitler. Also Charles Schwab and his sons who run” the WEF (world economic forum)… who claim to be “for the people but are actually only out for themselves and their cohorts. They are instigating a world riot. The WEF is helping spread violence and hatred, as is the UN.
Love has turned to hate, give has turned to take, there is no peace anywhere. All mirth has disappeared from the land (Isa 24). Houses are all shut up with bars… Today’s technology (AI) is being used by the upcoming “one world” leaders, to make the people “believe” he is the Messiah! and the chip will be forced into all peoples.
UPDATE, 9.20.2024 With the presidential election in November, the “far left” democrats are doing everything they can to steal kill and destroy via satan. They have set 2 attempts on Donald J. Trump’s life. Yes, this has been proven. The FBI and all them, are lying through their teeth, even to congress! What gets me is that THE PEOPLE are actually backing them!!! Even though they have been trying to take our rights by closing down the Constitution.
Those who know what time it really is, and who know what that “leader” is really about, will be silenced as “traitors”. All our rights will be removed. Today, on social media, if you are against them, they will vilify you and even close your account. There is sooo much evidence that proves what time it really is, if you have any insight. Even the unbelievers will (are starting to) pay attention.
Your best bet is to turn to Yeshua. If you are being called, DO NOT turn a deaf ear!!!
Even so, COME LORD YESHUA!!! Keep your candles lit and your wicks trimmed! THE KING IS COMING SOON!
