If things are so wonderful, then why do so many people feel a deep sense of unease about what is ahead? I think that the reason why our society is so obsessed with apocalyptic movies and television shows is because most of us realize on some level that we are living in an apocalyptic generation. As I have been documenting in my articles over the last several months, the clock is ticking for humanity. If we continue to do things the way we have been doing them, our society will inevitably collapse. Even now, virtually all of our systems are exhibiting signs of failure, and yet most of us continue to live our lives as if they party will never end.
But it will end, and deep inside most of us know this.
So how close are we to that point? Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus detailed some of the things that we should expect to see as conditions turn apocalyptic…
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
Could it be possible that “the beginning of sorrows” is nearly upon us?
Without a doubt, we are living in a time when there are lots of rumors of wars. Russia and Ukraine nearly went to war this month, and if that would have happened the U.S. would have definitely gotten involved, and that could have led us directly into World War 3.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China are now closer to military conflict than they have been at any point since the end of the Korean War. Taiwan is the main source of tension at the moment, but there are other flashpoints that could cause war between our two nations to erupt as well.
In the last 48 hours, however, developments in Israel have taken center stage globally. Dozens of rockets were fired into Israel on Saturday night, and terror groups are warning that “worse was still to come”…
Two terror groups in Gaza took responsibility on Saturday for the salvos of rockets fired at Israel overnight, saying the attack was in response to violent clashes in Jerusalem in recent days and that worse was still to come.
Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades said that they were behind the 36 rockets fired at Israel, linking the attack to the unrest in and around the Old City.
Everyone knows that a major war is going to erupt in the Middle East at some point.
It is just a matter of time.
Switching gears, we continue to see large earthquakes shake our planet at a very alarming rate, and more volcanoes that were once very quiet continue to roar to life.
On Sunday morning, it was Japan’s turn to experience a major eruption…
The Sakurajima volcano in southwestern Japan erupted on early Sunday, sending a column of smoke over 2.3 kilometers above the crater, the weather agency said.
Following the eruption at 1:09 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency issued an eruption alert, urging people in the cities of Kagoshima and Tarumizu in Kagoshima Prefecture to protect themselves from potential impact of the volcanic activity.
Of course those that follow my work on a regular basis know that the volcano in Japan that I really have my eye on is Mt. Fuji. When it finally blows, the death toll will be off the charts.
Needless to say, “pestilence” has been a major theme over the past year as well. We are being told that the number of new coronavirus cases just hit a brand new record high globally, and it appears that this pandemic will be with us for the foreseeable future.
But if we really are moving into “the beginning of sorrows”, we should expect even more “pestilences” to strike the globe, and they will be even worse than what we have experienced so far.
As for “famines”, the good news is that nobody in the United States is starving at the moment.
But I did just publish an article in which I talked about how global food prices are now soaring, and this is causing hunger to rise very rapidly in impoverished areas of the planet.
Coming into this year, the head of the UN’s World Food Program did warn that we would soon see “famines of biblical proportions”, and unfortunately we are well on the way to that actually happening.
On top of everything else, the global persecution of Christians continues to rise.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom just released a report that documented many of the specifics of this rising trend, and one expert that worked on the report stated that “Christians are being persecuted around the world at a pace not seen since the first century”.
Is it just a coincidence that all of these things are happening at the same time?
At this point, even some of the top faith leaders in the entire nation are acknowledging that we have entered a very ominous time. For example, just consider a statement that James Dobson just made…
“Though I am not a prophet, it appears to me that divine judgment has befallen our nation. The evil one, Satan (who always has only been able to operate within parameters permitted by the Lord, e.g., Job 1:7, 12), appears to be unleashing his assault on our culture with even greater ferocity. He is creating chaos in our cities and schools, and is stalking the halls of government. It is as though, because we have replaced the truth with a lie, God has given us over to a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:25, 28),” Dobson explained.
“Why do I draw such a conclusion? It is because our nation is divided into warring camps, with violence and pestilence plaguing the land. Sixty-two million babies have been murdered in cold blood, and hundreds of millions of additional federal dollars have been allocated to expand the unborn holocaust. And the institutions of marriage and the family are under siege. Our birthrate is falling, and our children are being taught hate and sexual perversion in our government schools. How can a holy God look upon such debauchery and stay His righteous hand? He cannot.”
And during a recent interview with Todd Starnes, Franklin Graham came to a very similar conclusion…
“Christians need to get on their knees and pray that God would intervene and somehow save this nation or give us more time because I believe judgment is coming,” said Graham. “I really do, Todd, I think God’s judgment is coming.”
Are they right?
Have we really reached the point of no return?
People have been sounding the alarm for decades, but up to now we have always been given more time to turn things around.
Unfortunately, at some point we will completely run out of time, and many believe that day is fast approaching.
Marry a runner. She’s not as likely to get fat, as it would ruin her race times.
It breaks my heart. I know what’s coming.
Okay,
I follow you now.
I’ve got a book,
“The Gospel in the Stars”
that I need to dig out.
Thanks.

Not Astrology!
Excellent points.
I don’t think you’re wrong. I’ve felt the same disquiet and sense of things being “off” that you’re describing.
Honestly I viewed last Christmas’ alignments as signs of things to come. Those alignments while touted in the media as the Bethlehem Star etc. failed to enlighten hearts to God. Instead it revealed their cynicism, revelation.
Yes, little “r.”
Something Isn’t Right
https://www.jdfarag.org/bible-prophecy?sapurl=LytkNmtjL2xiL21pLytuY3Rzc3E5P2VtYmVkPXRydWU=
Today I want to address the concern that many discern as something not being quite right with
everything that is happening in the world today. I think you would agree that with all that’s
happening and the swiftness with which it’s all happening, there’s just something that seems off. I
would suggest that the reason it seems that something isn’t quite right - is because it’s not, and that’s
what I want to talk about today. ...
....Now, this brings me back to the aforementioned sense of something not being quite right. It is God’s
way of getting our attention, and He does so by giving us a check - a pause. There’s no peace.
Something’s not quite right. That’s the Lord. That’s discernment.
Here’s an illustration, an analogy. In your car, you have these warning lights that come on. Do you
know the check engine light? I hate that light, by the way. It comes on - something’s wrong. Warning!
Warning! Warning! So, what do we do? We take black electrician’s tape, and we [tape it across].
Check engine light!
Dare I say it’s, check something isn’t right. This is God’s way of saying; you don’t have this peace;
something isn’t quite right? That’s Me, and the reason why you have that “check” is because it’s not
right. It’s all wrong, in fact, on every level.
I would argue that God is allowing this global deception governmentally and economically because
it’s all according to His plan of salvation prophetically. Make no mistake about it everything that’s
happening? It’s going perfectly according to God’s prophetic plan.
However, just as God has a
righteous plan for man’s salvation, so too does the devil have an evil plan for man’s damnation.
Dare I say that said plans are not only in place now but in operation to full capacity such that they will
reach the intended end in the end - and that end is the end. It’s the end as we know it, and we’re
foretold about it, which explains why it is that the evil plot afoot [in progress] is gaining traction.
>>> Those alignments while touted in the media as the Bethlehem Star etc. failed to enlighten hearts to God.
I remember what you are referring to...
1. There is no way to verify that this was the astrological event that took place to mark the day and location of Jesus Birth.
2. I am not familiar with how that alignment is referenced in the bible as an end time sign. Again... we are not given markers for the rapture...
3. False prophecy HAS it’s intended purpose... to build up only to be let down... so that the receiver rejects everything related to the prophecy as true. I found it odd that the media chose to “tout” that event while ignoring more significant events.
4. There is no way for anyone to really know who’s heart is “enlightened” to God by anything. I’ve heard testimonials where even a very basic and simple act of kindness was enough to change a person’s heart. This is not for us to judge. We are tasked with spreading the message, and to be looking UP for His coming... so my observation on this was directed more towards the believer.
That’s just it, they were touting them from an astrological stance. Christ’s birth thousands of years ago and the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
The demonic realm copies the truth.
We have Christ vs. Anti-christ. Ever hear of an anti-budha? A $50 dollar can be counterfeited because we have a true one. You can’t pass a fake $70 bill because a real one doesn’t exist.
I took the signs in the sky this past Christmas as an indication something in the demonic realm happened. It was called “the Great Conjunction,” so of funny we talk of the Great Reset too. It peaked on the pagan winter solstice too. And it transits out of the earth signs into air signs.
“Another reason this year is so notable is that each time the two planets meet for the next 150 to 200 years, it will happen in an Air sign (Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra) — and besides one Great Conjunction in Libra in 1981, it’s the first time that’s happened since the 1400s. During the last 200 years or so, Saturn and Jupiter had been coming together every 20 years in Earth signs, which could explain our society’s obsession with material things, conquering land, and money. Montúfar says that collectively, we’ll be moving away from the materialistic and industrialized towards a more humanistic, technological, and inclusive focus.” https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/12/10233129/december-21-great-conjunction-winter-solstice-2021-meaning
More humanistic, more technological, more inclusive(?) So far we’re witnessing the worst of those attributes. It isn’t that it was so much used as Christ’s birth marker as it was used to mark a change in the world order to the new age.
Shrug shoulders it was just my interpretation at the time. It felt spiritually wrong at the time.
Maybe so and the Devil got hold of America’s voting machines is a damning fact!

yes... and sometimes it’s difficult to draw that line between biblical and secular.... depending on who is quoting what.
[disquiet and sense of things being “off” that you’re describing.]
Yes, and it’s quite disconcerting, to be honest.
Used to participate in an online game - but I stepped away, playing much less, some time in 2019. Frankly, got sick of certain behavior by a very few individuals. Well, some of the (better ones) wanted me to come back. I never would. No more voice contact. You could still text in the game, though.
Anyways, I messaged that I had a feeling about 2020; that God seemed to be letting me known (unspoken) that 2020 was going to be “a year” of sorts. I mentioned this to them at least a couple of times. It was also one of my excuses for not rejoining the voice chat.
Well, 2020 did turn out to be “a year” though it was nothing that I could have imagined. Frankly, I regret not buying more 5.56. Not in the desire to use it, but because it was still cheap and plentiful. I did get my new conceal carry weapons. Again, hoping I NEVER need them.
That last part aside, I am shocked at what has transpired.
With all of the bizarre thought that people are drawn to, I shudder to think what might be ahead.
We’ve got a lot of chaos on the road ahead.
That’s not even up for debate.
100 days of Xiden and the mass pumping of fake dollars into an already over-extended economy is going to cause a massive downturn soon.
These things happen gradually and then suddenly.
Interesting post!
Not sure what to make of the 9/27/17 event.
I remember it vividly though.
Well all know that there are no coincidences with The Lord.
Yeah, it’s like the 2008 crash.
I’d been waving my arms for years. Pretty much everybody blew me off. Tinfoil, you know. Then 2008 turned out to be far worse than I ever imagined.
I never thought I’d see all those ships parked in the Indian Ocean when a substantial amount of commerce just stopped.
Years before, I had a bad feeling about how much W was borrowing from the Chinese to finance the wars and nation building.
Everybody blew me off on that one, too.
Seems like they’re gonna force a “Great Reset” - yikes
Just saw this post Bro.
I have been thinking of normal lately - whatever that is?
I think you are right that right after GWB’s 2nd term started things have spiraled out of control since then and progressively worse at faster rates beyond that date.
The last 13 years or so have been a quagmire of insanity all over.
I pray The Lord comes for us soon.
At least the Romans didn’t force transgenderism on their subjects at the point of a knife. They were “normal” by comparison to what we see today coming from gubmit.
PM
Great Reset will happen, probably this year unless The Lord delays it.
The spirit of antichrist is very busy all over the world right now.
Certainly prepping the world for Satan’s anti-messiah to come.
Jesus was speaking to his audience -- YOU (meaning the people 2000 years ago) shall hear
He also specifically meant the generation of the people He was talking to -- that within 40 years what He said in the Olivet discourse would happen
And what Jesus said in the Olivet discourse DID happen in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem
