I am an optimist by nature. I tend to look at the glass as half-full and I tend to have a natural hope for the future. But today I come to you as an optimistic pessimist. Let me explain. I have some great news to share, but first, I have to share some tough news.Before a doctor can share treatment options, they must first give their patient the unadulterated truth.
A doctor can’t sugar coat the news that someone has cancer or a terminal illness. They are trained to separate themselves from the emotion of the moment to help their patients fully understand the reality of what they are facing. Likewise, when a police officer has to share the news that a loved one has died, there is no simple way to say it. There is nothing they can do to lessen the impact of the terrible news. But the news still must be shared.
I’m not a doctor or a police officer, but I have some blunt news to share, then some great news to follow.OK, where do I start?
The signs of the times are screaming at us through a global pandemic, constant contradictory misinformation about said pandemic, a national and global economy that is holding on by a supernatural thread, mideast turmoil with Israel at the center, locust plagues of Biblical proportions, marxist cancel-culture groups destroying our cities, major civil unrest in multiple countries, the worst humanitarian crisis (in Yemen) the world has seen in decades, the US and China butting diplomatic and potential military heads in the South China Sea, murder rates exploding as various cities defund the police, prisoners being let out of prison en-masse while churches are told they can’t gather or sing, freedoms eroding before our eyes, and—worst of all—much of the church is floating down stream like a dead fish instead of being the salt and light it was called to be. We seem to be watching our country struggle to survive right before our eyes. America—the greatest superpower of history—is not found in end-time Bible prophecy as a major player. Something terrible must happen to her before the tribulation begins.
Those are the cold, hard facts. Now, for some more bad news (don’t worry, I’ll get to the good news in a minute). First, I believe the next 3-6 months could be much more volatile than people are expecting.
We simply must wake up to the fact that there is something MUCH larger at play in our country than mere political differences. Forget democrat vs. republican for a moment. What we’re seeing is a globalist plan to take down America.
This plan has been in place for decades and has progressively ramped up the past 12 years to never-before seen levels. There are very real, very well organized, very intentional, very prophesied (if I can use that as a term), very powerful people behind the scenes fomenting division, disorder, lawlessness, and instability in America. Globalists want to take America down because it will implode the world economy and they want to rise to power through order out of chaos. It’s on our dollar bills, it’s in their public speeches, it’s out in the open. They don’t even hide it any more.
So, what does this look like in the seen realm? It looks like more waves of chaos to come. Whether you like Trump or not, please—for a moment—remove his personality and your thoughts about him from the picture. Now, view these few facts with as little bias as possible. We have an unexpected DC outsider in the White House who is a staunch Nationalist who understands (and pushes back against) the globalist agenda. That is the single fact that most people miss. The raw fact is that the president (love him or hate him) has thrown a major monkey wrench into the plans of the globalists—and they have been throwing a 4 year lawless temper-tantrum.
On a side note, if you want a bit of balance, I also feel the uptick of division in our country is related to Trump’s “peace plan” which calls for the dividing of Israel’s land [a bad thing], but that’s another topic for another day. See Joel 3:2. Every time any American president get’s close to officially calling for the dividing of the land—even with good intentions—we’ve seen tough times in America. I don’t think this is coincidence. (Documented very well here: https://watch.org/eyetoeye).
Here’s why I share all of that. The globalists play for keeps and they see their moment slipping away. Between now and the election they will likely leverage anything and everything they can to increase social and economic chaos in their attempts to get a globalist into the White House. Now, here’s the rub. There is no good outcome. If Trump gets in for a second term, the globalist temper tantrum will accelerate. Who knows what post-election plans the globalists—who see their moment slipping away—will implement. If Trump does not get in for a second term—they will move at lightning speed to get their agenda back on track. The gloves will be off. There will be no restraint. They don’t want the moment to slip away.
An increased animosity toward Christians and Jewish people will increase (and already is). Freedoms (including religious freedom) will likely be trampled upon even more if we don’t stand up. Aside from divine intervention, we could be in for some tough times in America.
I’m not a prophet, but the above is my prayerful, Holy-Spirit-led take on what could be to come. I pray I’m wrong. I pray that the pandemic and riots cease, that our country turns back to God en masse, and that we can catch our breath and return to stability and normal life. But you and I both sense in our gut that is not likely to happen. It seems we’re nearing a tipping point.
THE GOOD NEWS...
Now for some good news. All of this lines up 100% with end-time prophecy. Events in our day are converging like no other time in history. We have more reason to believe the Lord is coming in our lifetime (perhaps very soon) than any other generation of Christians in the history of the church.
