The Berean Blogs

I am thinking of doing a prophecy update every week to kind of recap things that have happened over the past week with potential prophetic significance. I will be coming at it from the perspective that the book of revelation has yet to be literally fulfilled from chapter four and onward. Some of the things we will cover is earthquakes in diverse places, wars and rumors of wars, Israel/Jerusalem/Temple Mount, peace in the Middle East, one world government, one world religion, one world currency, mark of the beast technology, and anything else that might have prophetic implications. 

First let’s start where I stand regarding eschatology (end times studies). I am a firm pre-tribulation dispensationalist. I believe that Jesus will be rapturing His bride at any moment (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) and that we will then forever be with the Lord. I believe He is currently preparing a place for us in heaven (John 14:2-3) and when it is ready the Father will tell Him to come get us. After the rapture will be the seven year tribulation where God judges the world for their unbelief and rebellion. This is kicked off by the signing of a fake peace treaty with Israel (Daniel 9:27). This verse talks about the Antichrist confirming a covenant with many for one week (seven years). It also states that in the middle of that week (3.5 year mark) the Antichrist will turn on Israel and cause an “abomination of desolations”. Jesus also talks about this event where the Antichrist will setup his image in the temple to be worshipped (Matthew 24:15). The Antichrist will also create a one world government that he will control and a one world religion that the False Prophet will control. If you want an in depth study on what happens during this time watch Pastor Gary Hamricks (Cornerstone Chapel in Virginia) sermon series on Revelation. It is long, he does about a chapter a week, but it is full of information. He explains the book of Revelation in a very easy to understand way.

I will write more about Revelation and how things play out in future posts but this should give a snippet of what is coming in the near future. I say near future because the stage is being set, we are very close to the second coming of Christ.

First lets talk about Earthquakes. In future updates I will likely just list any major earthquakes that happened in the prior week and maybe how many total so we track if they are increasing in frequency and intensity (Mark 13:8 beginning of sorrows ie: birth pains). Jesus compares these events to labor pains that increase over time. There are a lot bigger earthquakes happening around the pacific rim, mostly around Russia, Japan, and the Philippines. Because of all this seismic activity, scientist are watching closely the Cascadia fault line off the west coast of the United States. Something to keep an eye on.

Regarding wars and rumors of wars, the talk of world war three is very prominent now with all of the tension in the world. We have the undoing Russia/Ukraine war that we are now getting more involved in by sending tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This could escalate things if Putin feels a bigger threat. He has already used the nuclear word in his response to this news. Eventually Russia will form an alliance with other nations and attack Israel (Ezekiel 38 war). The other nations involved are Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Libya, and others. We know that Russia, Iran, and Turkey are getting friendlier by the day so this is something to keep an eye on as well.

There is the ongoing tiff between Trump and China with the tariffs that could escalate into something more. At the very least they are going to greatly impact our economy and sounds like it could impact our military, health care, and other technology that we need rare earth minerals to produce these technologies. China produces 80% of rare earth minerals and are now threatening to diminish trade of these precious resources to the US. 

India has now decided they are going to buy oil using the Chinese Yen instead of the US dollar. If a nation that size makes the switch, others likely won’t be far behind. This could have impact on the US dollar and by extension the US economy. Although, to be fair, this could be planned because we need current currencies to tank in order to bring in one world currency in the form of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC’s for short). This will likely be some type of cryptocurrency. And with every transaction monitored it will allow the Antichrist to not allow any to buy or sell if they don’t have the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:17).

My studies of this topic over the years have really opened my eyes to the truth. The truth that what is going on in the world is not a left vs. right problem or a republican vs. democrat issue. It goes much deeper than that. There is an agenda at the highest levels of influence in our world today that are looking to implement these systems to control the masses. The politicians and even the technocrats are just puppets for them. Enacting policies and laws that are continuing to impact our freedoms. Every crisis is another opportunity to create more laws, more rules, and more control for the elites of the world. The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Freemasons, and Illuminati to name a few.  We have to keep in mind that these puppet masters also are puppets. There is a power in the world that transcends them and it is ultimately his will that these people are working for. Satan knows bible prophecy better than any mortal human on this planet and he knows his time is getting short. That is why more deception is happening than ever before. Jesus started and ended his discourse on end times with the words “do not be deceived”. That is why it is so important to keep our eyes open and fixed on Him. The only Truth. The light of the world. In the great words of Jan Markell (Olive Tree Ministries) “I am not telling you this to scare you, but to prepare you”. 

Keep looking up! Maranatha!
