This is audio and a transcript of an interview by Bari Weiss with historian Peter Turchin. It's a very interesting read.

He may be right but his explanation of the “musical chairs” analogy did not ring true to me.

People in the Middle Ages who lived during the Black Death thought they were in the end times.

The entire world at war in 1914 had people believe they were living in the end times.

The entire world at war again in 1941 thought they were living in the end times.

People who lived during the Cuban missile crisis thought they were living in the end times.

People in 2020 when COVID was going to wipe out one in four thought they were living in the end times.

Yes, we may be living though the end times, but I’m skeptical.

Pretty much every generation thinks they’re in the end times. So far they’re all wrong. Play the odds. Tomorrow is probably coming.

history = competition between modes of thought. Right now it is misintegration (statism) trying to gain control

Are we living through ‘End Times’?

Gosh, I hope so.

Everyone is always living in their own “end times”.

I say this as a committed Christian believer who is convinced that scripture teaches a “catching up”of the Church, the living and the dead, followed by a period marked by The Enemy in control of events on Earth, punctuated by Divine judgment, followed by... well, those who know that I’m talking about don’t need to hear the rest....

...My personal “end times” are mostly due to age, health, and the Will of God who takes those He will take when He wishes to take them, according to His perfect plan. I could end tomorrow, or in thirty years, or in the next 4 seconds. My part is to be ready to answer the call when it comes.

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

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.

🙏🙏🙏
