On Apr. 25, 2022, All News Pipeline (ANP) posted an article by Stefan Stanford about the string of fires at U.S. food processing facilities.
Stanford believes these fires will add to food shortages in the U.S.
He said, “We’re running out of time to prep as we’re still, fortunately, able to do now.”
I agree with what Stanford said, but here are some of my thoughts when I read it:
Christians are running out of time to get the gospel out, reach lost loved ones, give, serve, lay-up treasure in heaven, etc.
Cold and lukewarm Church members are running out of time to get saved and go to heaven.
Those that have heard the gospel, refused to believe it, accept Jesus, and repent of their sins, are running out of time to get saved before they are struck with strong delusion.
Church members that could attend Church but aren’t are running out of time to get started back.
Much more could be said, but know that I believe we are in the last days of the last years before the Rapture of the Church, and we are running out of time to do whatever God wants us to do.
Here are some articles that seem to indicate that we are in the last days of the last years.
One, concerning food shortages: on Apr. 27, 2022, the CEO of Goya Foods warned that:
“We are on the precipice of a global food crisis.”
“Americans will have to tighten their belts and consume less.”
Americans “can afford higher-priced food, but other countries won’t be able to bear it.”
It was also reported that:
The UN is warning of problems in the Middle East now.
In late April, the Rockefeller Foundation said we have about 6 months to a “massive immediate food crisis.”
Two, concerning freedom of speech and religion in the coming world government: on May 14, 2008, Barack Obama was running for President of the U.S., and Michelle said,
“We are going to have to change our conversation.”
“We’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.”
“We’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”
On Apr. 27, 2022, it was announced that the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has created a new Disinformation Governance Board.
This “Arbiter of Free Speech” (Nina Jankowicz) is an extreme feminist that is on record as:
A Trump hater,
Criticizing Trump voters,
Saying Hillary Clinton’s paid-for Dossier in the Russian collusion case is true,
Saying the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell is Russian disinformation, etc.
Jankowicz’s record is one of disinformation and opposition to free speech and the truth.
This known purveyor of disinformation has been picked to head a new government agency to change and control people’s conversation.
One commentator said she may censor or arrest people that disagree with the government narrative.
Another commentator said this is an effort to crush Republican opposition and establish one-party rule.
As a prophecy teacher, I am concerned that people could be denied the right to buy and sell for disagreeing with the government narrative.
Three, concerning world government: on Apr. 27, 2022, it was reported that the World Economic Forum (WEF) was created by three members of the U.S. Council on Foreign relations (CFR) (Henry Kissinger, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Herman Kahn) and funded by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Kissinger recruited Schwab (head of the WEF) whose main goal seems to be to bring down leaders of nations and give their power to a handful of pre-selected people that support world government.
This supports the long-held belief by some that a shadow government is running things in the world.
The involvement of the CFR and CIA also confirms that world government is a goal of the U.S. even though many people have called it a conspiracy theory for years.
Four, concerning world government: in late Apr. 2022, it was reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) will gather on May 22-28, 2022, to vote on 13 amendments the U.S. wants to a treaty that will give the WHO control over the health of individuals in every nation on earth.
These amendments will transfer the power to make decisions on lockdowns, mandates, treatments, and more from national governments to the global WHO.
The WHO will be empowered to determine who can and cannot meet, how many can meet, what treatments people can and cannot take, etc.
Everyone on earth will be required to abide by WHO global dictates, and these amendments will not require the approval of nations (or the U.S. Senate) because they will be changes to an already-approved existing treaty.
If these amendments are approved by the WHO (and they probably will be), they will become international law that replaces the sovereignty of nations six months from now (in Nov. 2022).
The WHO could have control over the health care of everyone on earth before the end of 2022.
This is solid evidence that the U.S. is working to establish a world government and humanity is running out of time.
The WEF, CFR, CIA, and others want to control the world’s food supplies, health care, everyone’s conversation, what kind of vehicles people drive, people’s income, people’s religious beliefs, and more.
Obama’s “fundamental transformation of the United States of America” is about the destruction of the America that many of us grew up in.
The UN’s “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” goals is about the establishment of a world government that will rule over the United States of America and all other nations.
The coming Tribulation Period will be unlike anything that has ever happened before or ever will happen; and except those days be shortened, no flesh will be saved (Matt. 24:22).
For those who question that the fundamental transformation of America is about the destruction of America that many of us grew up in, I ask:
Why has America’s energy independence been destroyed?
Why is America’s economy being destroyed (lockdowns, inflation, supply-chain crisis, etc.)?
Why is America’s health care system about to be destroyed?
Why has America’s border patrol been made ineffective?
Why were billions of dollars of America’s weapons left in Afghanistan?
Why does America’s proposed budget reduce the size of America’s army?
Why is the U.S. Constitution, freedom of speech, being destroyed?
Five, concerning Israel: it is beginning to look like the Israeli government may soon collapse.
The government cannot lose any votes in the Knesset, but the Ra’am Party (Arabs) is threatening to withdraw its support, and if they do, the Israeli government will collapse.
On May 1, 2022, it was reported that the Ra’am Party asked King Abdullah of Jordan to submit a list of demands concerning the Temple Mount that Israel must agree to or Ra’am will withdraw its support of the Israeli government, and it will collapse.
These demands include stopping Jews from praying on the Temple Mount, stopping the Israeli police from interfering with Muslim rioters on the Temple Mount, and other actions that Israel cannot agree to.
Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: the relationship between Russia and Israel continues to worsen.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov recently said Hitler had Jewish blood.
On May 1, 2022, Israeli Prime Min. said Lavrov’s statements “are untrue and his intentions are wrong.”
He called Lavrov’s statements “lies.”
On May 2, 2022, Israel summoned Russia’s ambassador to Israel to protest this.
The co-operation between Russia and Israel in Syria appears to be coming to an end.
Seven, concerning a covenant with many for peace in the Middle East: on May 2, 2022, a member of Israel’s Knesset (ruling body) called upon the EU to establish an inter-governmental group to work with nations with Israel and the Arabs to promote the Abraham Accords.
It is interesting that the Antichrist will come out of the EU, and the EU is being asked to establish a body to work with many on something that could lead to a covenant of peace in the Middle East.
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born-again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
End Times Ping
FReemail me if you wish to be added to or removed from The End Times Ping List.
The signs are everywhere that catastrophe is right around the corner. Time is literally running out for those who have not trusted in Jesus, repented, and called out to Him (Romans 10:9-13).
Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
Maranatha!
BKMRK.
Well-written warnings.
Luke 6:43-49 New King James Version
A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
43 “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Build on the Rock
46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?
47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
Amen!
You speak of the “rapture” as if it is a separate event from the second coming. The context in every place that features the second coming, has the “rapture” an incident of the the second coming. This one event, the blessed hope:
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,” Titus 2:13.
We’ve been over this truly so many times sasportas that I’ve lost count.
You don’t get it, and it doesn’t look like you ever will.
Explain why Jesus states His Coming will be like a Thief in the Night?
See Luke 17:26-27
See Matthew 24:37-44
NOTE: He says at an hour you know not.
According to the Book of Revelation, you can easily do the math for the 7 year tribulation and everybody can know when His 2nd Coming will be.
You don’t distinguish the two events, because you’ve been taught incorrectly or you’re stubborn. One or the other.
Spirit Indwelt Christians who know the Times can differentiate the two.
This discussion is very sophomoric and getting old.
You don’t distinguish the two events, because you’ve been taught incorrectly or you’re stubborn. One or the other.
>As to your assertion that I was taught post-trib, I know you won’t believe it, but about 50 years ago I was once as pretrib as you, and it wasn’t because somebody taught me post-trib, because anyone teaching post-trib was scarce as hen’s teeth 50 years ago.
Nobody taught me this, RWC, it was rather my own research. It was the New Testament and the ECF writings (Early Church Fathers) that convinced me that a singular and undivided second coming was the truth.
With all due respect, Sir, it is probably you that has been taught the system you believe so ardently.
You probably haven’t considered this, but all you have - including this point you make about the thief in the night - are just inferences. You need more than an inference, you need an actual statement somewhere that actually states the two stage second coming that you believe.
Something to the effect:
“Behold, I show you a mystery, The second coming of Christ takes place in two stages. The first stage is called “the rapture,” and is a separate event from the coming in power and glory that Jesus taught to his disciples on the mount of Olives. Which is the second stage.”
On something as vital to believers as this, why shouldn’t there be such a clear unambiguous statement as this? If there was, there wouldn’t be this difference between us.
But such a statement as this does not exist. On the contrary, everywhere in the New Testament, the rapture and second coming are presented as the same event.
There are more than a few verses that state they are clearly separate events. You call it stages. I’ll call them events. Events that are years apart.
Post Revelation 4, you cannot find the word “Church” mentioned once suffering on the earth with the “earth-dwellers” throughout the Tribulation.
Even the Anti-Christ Himself will blaspheme The True Church because he cannot castigate them as they are beyond his realm of control. (Rev. 13:6)
Again, I ask - how can Jesus (GOD HIMSELF) say His coming is like a thief in the night (verses quoted above), but if you do the math (1260 days) in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 12:6 you get a 360 day year which is based on the old Hebrew calendar. You can actually calculate to the DAY that The Lord Jesus will land on the Mount of Olives from the day of the Abomination of Desolation.
Why is it pretribs always think post-tribs have the burden of proof? Maybe its because they are the majority view, majority opinion, however, is not the voice of God. I think it’s pretribs that have the burden of proof. But we’ll deal with your points anyway.
I’m familiar with two of your points, on the first one, the very fact that the book of Revelation is written to the seven churches of Asia Minor, v. 4, sent and signified by his angel, v. 1; with the same two things featured again at the conclusion of the book, 22:16, we, thus, should automatically think that the “testimony” of v. 16 is for the churches in the chapters in between its two bookends (chapt. 1 and 22) also.
If Jesus says he “sent his angel to testify these things in the churches,” the things in between must surely be testimonies for the church.
On the second one, 2 Pet. 3:10 says it is the day of the Lord that comes as a thief in the night, the very public event that closes out this age, and not a secret event seven years prior.
Your point about Rev. 13:6 is one I hadn’t heard. I think the intermediate state is the answer, not a pretrib rapture. I believe when one dies in the Lord he absents his body on earth, to be present with the Lord in heaven, 2 Cor. 5:8.
The beast in his hatred of God and Jesus Christ, and those who believe in him, will blaspheme God who is in heaven, his tabernacle in heaven (which is Jesus Christ), and them that dwell in heaven – who had died previously in Christ, but are now with him in heaven.
