Prophecy Update: The Signs of the Times 8/15/19
The Tribulation period requires that certain things need to be in place before the Rapture of the Church. Part of watching the signs of the times includes those things which will fuel the ability to accomplish what will happen in the future. For instance, the Tribulation Period will include a One World Government. That means we should be looking for political realities that are pushing us towards a unity among the nations. The Tribulation assumes that that government will be able to track everyone on earth. That means that we should look for technologies that can accomplish that goal. Likewise, a One World Economy makes us look for unity in economic matters. Etc.
Matt.16:1-3 says, The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ “And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?
It is important for us to discern the signs of the times as Jesus commanded. One of the signs of the times comes from Rev.13:16-18, And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.” During the Holocaust, Hitler had all of the Jews marked with a number. It was to demean them and track them. Holocaust survivors can show you their tattooed arms. Hitler did it regionally. Satan will do it globally. Do we have the technology to track everyone on earth?
Here are a few quotes that highlight the move towards a cashless society. “Sweden: How to Live in the World’s First Cashless Society.” “The next time you use your mobile phone to buy groceries or send money, it’s worth pausing to reflect on the momentous shift toward cashless that is underway.” “The South Korean central bank has been promoting the concept of a cashless society and plans to no longer mint coins by 2020. The Thai government launched the National e-Payment Master Plan to promote digital payments. And on 15 February 2018, Chinese New Year’s Eve, 688 million people – roughly half of China’s population – used WeChat to send and receive virtual hongbao (traditional red packets used to gift cash). China is an example of how countries can leapfrog to mobile payments, with more than two-thirds of internet users using smartphones for payments.”
How do people go cashless? They use their phone, credit card, and microchips. What is really making the prophecy of Revelation 13 more likely is the development of marking the body. So many Christians have tattoos and use their phone, Venmo, and other digital means of paying for things. A Mark on your forehead or hand is already accepted behavior. Not only are companies offering to ‘chip’ their employees but they can use a digital tattoo. In Sweden this headline appeared: “Thousands of people in Sweden get microchip implants for a new way of life.” Jesus said that this day would arrive. Quickly the day will come when cash will be outlawed and everyone will be on a digital means of economy.
Another clear example are moves for a One World Currency. I have tracked this development for years. Sometimes I have thought that the SDR’s special drawing rights of the international banks would be the eventual world currency. This is because they act as the means of trade between currencies. Today, technology has made such great advances that it is possible to make everyone use one means of paying for stuff. Facebook believes this and they have proposed a new currency called the “Libra.” “In late July 2019, a Facebook executive told Congress the “Libra” (Facebook’s desired global currency) could be a valuable tool for law enforcement partly because of the vast amounts of information that will be generated about those that use the currency.”
Two verses that Jesus speaks to us in these last days are Matt.24:8+33. They say, “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” “So, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.” The greatest sign is the move of God to reestablish the nation of Israel in her land. This you can track over the last 150 years and it is gathering steam. Israel is still conquering her land and they are about to take the West Bank which is the land of Judea and Samaria. I have been reading this week that Pres. Trump is considering to declare Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. Wow—I pray that this happens. Israel will have all of her land as Antichrist comes on the scene.
God said that knowledge will increase in the last days (Dan.12:4). We have gone from kilobytes to megabytes to gigabytes to terabytes to petabytes to exabytes to zetabytes and on and on it will go as computers get faster and faster. The increase in knowledge has blurred so many things in life. Six years ago the world produced four zetabytes which is 21 zeros. That is a lot of info! Someone calculated that it is 304 million years of HD video nonstop. A new computer chip made last year has a billion lines of information. Computer experts say that knowledge is doubling every year since 2008.
According to Luke 21:25, “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,” we will see strange things happening which people never saw before. A brother in the Lord told me that the ATM machine he was at just started spitting out receipts. What happened was a solar flare was messing with the computers and made the bank ATM’s do funny things. Solar flares are signs from God and they are increasing! Global weather stuff is already happening and it is increasing. It causes more fear because of the speed of getting information.
What about pestilences? Dr. Drew Pinski said, “I am scared because we have not seen conditions like this since medieval times.” He was talking about the rats and bubonic plague in Los Angeles. On his radio show in LA he also said that tuberculosis was exploding, typhus, and typhoid fever. The Dr. went on to say, “I am standing on the rail road track and I am screaming at the train that the bridge is out and no one is listening.”
Did you know that Bill Gates is funding a new company called “Earthnow” that will put satellites in space to surveil everyone and everything on earth? Why? Gates and many other rich people are proposing all kinds of social changes in the world. Christianity stands in their way. Christianity is under attack in the West. In America, the day is coming quickly when no one will be allowed to believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. That Jesus is the only way to heaven. That God created the heavens and the earth.
Two news articles illustrate this problem in our country. “Barnegat mayor slams LGBT history in schools: ‘We’ve crossed over the line into absurdity.’ Mayor Alfonso Cirulli launched a campaign Tuesday to fight a New Jersey law that brings an LGBT curriculum into schools and urged residents to join his fight.
During the Tuesday morning meeting of the Township Committee, Cirulli, a 60-year-old former assistant principal, said it was his duty to protect residents and called the LGBT political movement “an affront to almighty God.” As this is happening in New Jersey, this is what is happening in California: “California School District Will Not Allow Parents To Opt Children Out Of LGBTQ Content, Emails Show.”
The public schools are becoming reeducation camps run by the LGBT Gestapo making every child a pro sexual deviant. The ACLU teaches the teachers how they can go around the parents to give abortions to minors. These are indications that we are in the days of Lot. Those days were characterized by sexual immorality.
I am very happy that Israel has made a stand against the anti-Semitic leaders in congress. Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely confirmed that Israel will not allow the congresswomen Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). from entering Israel, although an official comment from the government has not yet been published.
“Israel has decided,” she said. “We will not allow the congresswomen to enter the country. We will not allow anyone who denies our right to exist in the world to enter the country. In principle, this is a very correct decision.”Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that he supports the ban “due to their blatant support for the boycott of the State of Israel, terrorism against Israel and minimizing the Holocaust.”
A big sign of our day are the moves to destroy Israel, even when they come from our own congress. Jordan is up next, I believe that one day soon Israel will take back her land in Moab and Ammon. Here is an article about the move towards conflict: “Jordan’s decision to ban Jews visiting or praying at a Jewish religious site – Aaron’s tomb situated on Mount Hor – has seriously threatened the Israel-Jordan peace treaty and possibly postponed even further the long-awaited release of President Trump’s plans aimed at ending the 100 years old Arab-Jewish conflict.” No peace treaty will ever work because God is not in the process—unless Jesus comes there will be no peace. Jesus is coming to set things straight—I cannot wait! Are you longing for His coming today? Are you preparing to see Jesus? Do that with me today.
