Weekend Listening: Are We Living Through ‘End Times’?
The Free Press ^ | 7/28/23 | Bari Weiss

Posted on 07/29/2023 7:05:38 AM PDT by CFW

Historian Peter Turchin predicted the turbulence of 2020. He tells me why, in 2024, America will reach a ‘break point.’

Peter Turchin is not like most historians. For starters, he has an unusual background as an evolutionary biologist studying lemmings and mice. He says that analyzing the complexities of the natural world has allowed him to understand the most complex system of all: human society. He has pioneered a field of history that he calls cliodynamics that applies hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of historical data points to a mathematical model in order to understand the present and to predict future trends.

Using these tools, Peter and his team published an article in the journal Nature in 2010 that made a bold prediction. They said that economic, social, and political instability in the United States would hit a “peak” in or around the year 2020. Many of Turchin’s critics said he was crazy to make such a speculation, that it’s too hard to predict how history will progress, that the study of history is more art than science.

Then came 2020.

He could have called it “Psychohistory” and then written a series of novels about it. Oh, wait; somebody already did that.

Playing the odds gets more people sent to hell than even false religion.

Sure you might die before “the end”, but your end is the end, if you don’t have Christ.

One thing that’s different now compared to past crisis periods is that the technology now exists to enforce a Mark of the Beast. I suppose an Antichrist in earlier times could have forced everyone to get a tattoo, but all that is needed now is a decree to force everyone to use digital currency for an Antichrist to control all commerce.

That’s one of the things that make me think it’s more plausible that time is short now.

“Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel”- my favorite Doors tune...

We could be in the end times-it does look bad out there-but people have thought that before all through recorded history and here we are, so we may not-so I am going to live off grid, so guess I’m a bit of an end timer...

This is the dark side of competition: if it’s too extreme, it creates conditions for people to start to break rules. ... And because there was such intense competition, there was a lot of incentive for people to start breaking rules.

Yes, we see a lot of rule breaking going on - by Democrats and liberals!

Then there are all the criminals and homeless people in the streets. Rules are broken daily.

End times? Perhaps, but just look around.

Well, this guy sounds like Harry Dent. Or some other financial prognosticator.
“In or around 2020” and BTW he is an evolutionary biologist?
He may have some clever things to say, but he is biased. And he has a bias.
Don’t get too wrapped up in his predictions.

I had been the biggest skeptic of all until I was 31 years old, then my life changed. I died, crossed over to Heaven, and then returned to my physical body.

While in Heaven, I was shown the future unfolding, including the tribulation period and why it was necessary.

There is a great time distortion between earth time and time in Heaven. What I saw and thought would unfold in the early 1990’s is happening right now.

They explained and showed me how the earth changes would bring the Holy Spirit to earth full force.

They showed me the reversal of the earth’s core, which I was explaining to people in 1992, and was only recently discovered by scientists.

They explained and showed me the Matthew 13 weeds that are here now and creating the world turmoil. This is the reason for all the UFO and alien talk now.

They showed me how Russia, working with Syria and Iran would instigate war with Israel. Iran will start it by launching nuclear missiles and drones. Israel will punch back hard.

They showed me how China would be the false peacemaker and lead people astray. It made no sense at the time as they were basically a third world country at the time of the visions.

They showed me a revolution in China, where the people filled with the Holy Spirit would not tolerate communism. This will be the beginning of the second half of tribulation and the great earthquakes, volcanoes, and severe weather.

The end result will be a wonderful peace that will be Heaven on Earth.

During my visit to Heaven, they changed my soul and gave me the ability to read the souls of people. Their consciousness and stored memories of their life experiences became physical to my perception. If people carry sin, I feel it like one would when walking into a piece of furniture, it hurts.

They gave me the ability to cast out spirits and do exorcisms.(actually they do them through me.)

But most of all, when in Heaven, they gave me a Love that was so profound and powerful that it surpasses words to describe. It changed my soul.

Just as Peter described in Acts 2 when quoting the prophet Joel, unusual gifts are coming to us. It’s all part of this process unfolding. It’s the only reason I am able to do the things I do. Not by me, but by God’s Grace.

These are NOT END TIMES. These are the beginning of a great new time after the birthing pains have passed.

In a few weeks, the real turmoil will begin as the weeds need people to become emotional and irrational so they can move in and try to hide from the Love and Light of the Holy Spirit.

The greatest advice I could give people is to invite the Holy Spirit into you multiple times per day. It is here now and available. The Helper Spirit will cleanse your soul and guide you through the process of finding and experiencing Jesus and God.

The Helper Spirit will also guide you to learn what you need to learn. Trust Jesus, He is here now. Like the lightning in the east is also seen in the west, you too will see Him.

🙏🙏🙏
