Merging Signs Are Accelerating In One Direction:

In no particular order: 

- Where are we on the timeline...The timeline that really matters. I keep considering the rate of change. Put another way, the rate of birth pains. As we know birth pains (particularly towards the end) don't decrease in frequency or severity. The rate of change is stunning. Looking back at the last two six-month intervals show this. There was a period when the pandemic, lockdowns, masks, etc. seemed completely strange and surreal. And then along came the U.S. elections. An "inauguration" which no one attended, was surrounded by military, fences and razor wire. And the continuing, progressive lockdowns etc. Normalcy Bias makes us accept these things over time and compartmentalize them and accept them, but take a step back and look at the big picture (I like to use the illustration of waking from a coma over the last 12 months and seeing the world where it is now): Mass closures, unemployment, sporting events with no fans, social distancing, masks, churches not allowed to open, restaurants closed, arrests for having birthday parties or bible studies, mass vaccinations, covid passports for travel and employment, etc., etc...And all in such a brief period. Now imagine where we will be in another 6 months. 

- There is only one outcome to all of this, not two or three. Just one and that is the Tribulation. Therefore everything we see today, that is, all of the signs, are moving in that one single direction. It is like everything condensing into a funnel. There is no parallel or alternate future.  There is no turning back. The question then becomes, especially considering the rate of change - how much longer can things continue without funneling into the Tribulation? This is a very important point and one not to be ignored. 

- Things will not return to "normal"; there should be no expectation of that. 

- It seems obvious, that for whatever reason, the globalists have chosen this as the moment to make the final push; it has seemingly become 'all or none' at this point. President Trump and a conservative U.S. would have blocked that plan. This also pushes the idea that the "10 Kings" may indeed be 10 regions of the world (with a leader or "king" over each region, and an open borders policy would facilitate a North American Union. Just food for thought. 

- The WEF seems pivotal in this globalist push that we are now seeing. This week's meeting may be revealing. The "Great Reset" seems imminent. Things are moving incredibly fast. They have chosen this moment as the time to install globalism. The continual and worsening lockdowns will be the final nail in the coffin financially. Expect to see more and more talk about "Universal Basic Income" and subsequent removal of property rights etc. 

- Perhaps more importantly than any of the above - this is the opportunity Iran may have been waiting for to attack Israel - presumably first by sending in their proxy groups (Isaiah 17) and then the full-scale invasion with Russia and Turkey (Ezekiel 38/39). Israel has ramped up bombings of Iranian groups in Syria and it would appear that the only reason Iran hasn't thus far, is fear of U.S. support of Israel. That fear is now gone with an Obama/Biden administration. How long will Iran wait now that U.S. retaliation fears are gone? Iran has repeatedly threatened Israel as a result of these air attacks but thus far hasn't acted upon these threats. At some point they will lose face in the Middle-East if they continue to let Israel launch these airstrikes against their troops and proxy groups. It is hard to imagine them waiting much longer. 

- Just consider the signs and their progress recently: 

* Wars and rumors of war

* Pestilence

* Famine

* Earthquakes

* Persecution

* Global Government forming

* Global financial system

* Israel surrounded by enemies

* The Gog-Magog alliance

* The Gog-Magog alliance positioned to the north of Israel

* Iran's proxy groups positioned and surrounding Israel (Hamas, Hezbollah, Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, 

   Syria, etc.)

* Deception, false teachings, false prophets

* The rise of the "Kings of the East" aka China

* Technology, conditioning and means to implement the "mark" of Rev. 16-17. 

* Financial collapse due to massive, unsustainable world-wide debt

* Military technology and capability to cause the death and destruction described in Rev. 6-18

- Where does this place us on the prophetic timeline? 

35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thiefwas coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready,because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?

(John 12)

33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 

(Matthew 24)
