Try to relax. This is an interpretation to chuckle at, not to get upset over.
You should read the article. Gerald Flurry is not a disturbed man he is very intelligent.
It is very much like the Maya End Times of December 2012.
While the end times followers are not quite like the people who say that the world will end on this exact day they are getting kind of close to doing the same thing.
All the pieces have to be in place and that may take more or less time than we think. I think people are over anxious.
Post-mil, a-mill, pre-mill, I’m a pan-mill; it’ll all pan out in the end
You probably didn’t see these September headlines.

The paper says it is urgent to integrate armed forces in the face of multifaceted crises.
The financial crisis will be further amplified via ‘global climate change initiatives’ which WILL and ARE taxign the snot out of people until we become so poor we either must turn to the government for help, or starve/freeze to death because we can’t afford the essentials ofl ife, fuel, electricity, heating oil, food etc-
In order to receive government ‘help’ people will be forced to take the mark of the beast=- In order to get fuel to heat a home, they will be forced to accept it- in order to get electricity, they wil lbe forced to accept it- etc etc etc
Think about it- families with kids, starving, freezing, no electricity- what are they dto do?
EVERYTHING will be subjected to steep carbon taxes- and you watch- the hype and hysteria over climate change Will ramp up in the next few years as politicians demand we throw more and more money at it because the current amount we’re dumping into it ‘isn’t working’
Climate change taxes and regulations WILL be the hammer that the kings use to control the people- Heck- they are already doing so- more and m ore people are going onto welfare because they are too poor to keep up the lifestyles we once enjoyed with low prices and booming economy- more and m re people are going onto disability even though there is nothing wrong with them because prices are so high now due to massive carbon regulations on busiensses driving the prices of everything sky high
Pretty soon they will be required to take a mark
In Revelations it tell us to not take the mark. It will be worse for those who do.
At The Trumpet they have their eye on two German men. Think he talks about them at this link. https://www.thetrumpet.com/columnist/11/brad-macdonald
Improper bible interpretation OP.
The UN has already divided the world into 10 “Regions”....and Europe is one of them.
Do a search and allow your eyes to be opened.
Yes, we are seeing it unfold. If only Gerald Flurry wasn’t so big on Herbert W. Armstrong.
I realize that- I was laying out what I think the end times is going to be like for those who aren’t saved and will be pressured to take the mark of the beast because they are dirt poor and freezing to death or starving or both-
No doubt about that. I first noticed it in 2008 when there was a big runup in propane. Lots of people in my rural area, especially in trailers, got their 100 gallon tanks removed presumably because they could not pay. Instead they hooked up the 20 pound BBQ tanks which they scrounged somewhere. Not only is it incredibly dangerous to keep unhooking and hooking new tanks to a house line not meant for such frequent use, they probably ended up paying more and freezing anyway.
As for the mark of the beast, no doubt it is coming. I work on the computer tech for authentication and payments. There is a push for second factor, and my favorite is the FIDO tokens, just starting to get supported in HW and SW now. Other people want biometric second factor like the iris of the eye, handprint (blood vessels in the hand) and things like that. Very bad idea because once the server gets hacked you lose it. The natural next step, those people pushing biometric will say, is to give everyone a reprogrammable chip. Can't lose it and if the server is hacked then you get reprogrammed.
Basically think of it this way, the propane guy comes to your house, you hold our your hand for scanning and you get propane. The next step of course is that government gives everyone an allotment but you only get it if you are chipped. Some people in this forum will approve of welfare recipients getting chipped to reduce fraud. It won't reduce fraud but it will result in the eventual chipping of everyone except the elite.
Do you think the mark means the day of the week one worships? Like Sunday instead of Saturday, etc.?
“associating world events with End Time predictions is buffoonery and people who put stock in that stuff ALWAYS end up proven to be fools.”
Until they don’t.
There was finally a day that God’s message preached by Noah resulted in the flood - and a final closing of the doors to the ark.
There was finally a day that God sent the Babylonians over the hill to destroy and carry away Israel.
There was finally a day when God’s warnings to Israel were carried out in the destruction of Jerusalem.
There was finally a day - after thousands of years - where hundreds of prophecies of Messiah were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He was born “in the fullness of time.”
AMEN.
Stuff like this SHOULD go to the RELIGION FORUM.
The stock markets will collapse, and probably soon.
They climb of the markets has aped the climb of debt.
The QE infusion into the markets only made the problem worse, as the money gamblers shot up their heroin fixes.
God's Word will come true. The Antichrist is on the move.
More like the arab-muslim crisis will shape these 10, more than any financial crisis.
