When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? (Matthew 16:2–3)
Those He chastised at that time could not discern the times; they couldn’t “watch” for their Messiah in the proper way because they didn’t truly believe in God’s way. That Way was right in front of them, and they wouldn’t believe in Him. So, belief is at the center of any such “watching” process in terms Christ presents.
The spiritual principle for attaining this level of discernment is laid out by the Apostle Paul.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:12–14)
In the case of believers in this Age of Grace (Church Age), the indwelling Holy Spirit provides this discernment. We who have Christ dwelling within us have the ability to “watch” in the way He wants us to observe the times and seasons.
Sad to say, the vast majority of pastors today are themselves not “watchers on the wall” for prophetic stage-setting issues and events literally exploding around them. Thus, Christians in their pews who are true believers are not being instructed to “watch.”

Dire predictions saturate the blogosphere these days. That cyberspace landscape seems loaded with things forecast to come that will, if believed 100 percent, depress even the most optimistic among us.
For example, I heard the past week that China has troops stationed at America’s southern border and is working with Mexican cartel units to invade the US when the time is right. Not only this, but the present US government under the Biden administration is in on the planned action, it is claimed.
On another blog, it is said that both Russia and China are in cahoots and are just biding time to make their moves.
The American cabalists in all of this—the Deep-State types—want this to happen in order to bring the nation down so that the vast American assets can be absorbed by the globalist regime that, I guess, is, putting this whole attack scenario together.
China, so this thinking goes, wants America’s land in order to relieve the overcrowding of China’s 1.4 billion populations.
The assault will supposedly begin with a more virulent biological weapon attack than COVID-19 or any other biological entity to this point. That will be joined by a debilitating cyber destruction of America’s communications infrastructure.
There will then be nuclear attacks on specific military installations within the US and abroad. This is what the drones that have been seen flying about in certain areas are about—to scope out vulnerabilities of US military installations, etc.
Best I can figure, the blogger alarmists expect all of this to begin in earnest by no later than the fall. They expect “false-flag” events to precede such action. False-flag events are those in which a government concocts a danger to the public, who then perceives the danger and will therefore be less resistant to, or even accepting of, draconian, governmental actions to save them.
There are so many such predictions in every direction that it’s not possible to include them all in this limited space. And, where there is smoke there is fire, as is said. So there is bound to be at least a miniscule degree of truth in all of the alarmism. Certainly we’ve been forewarned by the Lord through the Apostle Paul, as we have pointed out on numerous occasions. We struggle not against flesh and blood, but against powers, principalities, etc. (Ephesians 6: 12).

True, aside from, not only other's predictions, opinions, assessments, many interpretations from Biblical prophecy, deciphering where the United States is in our last days prior to coming Rapture; Myself, I am hearing, seeing, reading, much inconsistencies during uncertainty among the masses!! This said, being saved is imperative in the equation for rising above the fray intact, but doing what we can to be helpful while here on Earth, as each person has a purpose, this still goes on, in my opinion! No one is truly in the mood for one drama after another! IMO,anyone that is truly happy, whom knows the Lord, wants other's too to be "Happy, Healthy, and have much Prosperity"! (: Our witnessing other's who do compromise Freedoms about anything we hold dearly, are the concern!
Pet peeves we all have, right? So, when we read about, drones that have been seen flying about in certain areas assessing USA's vulnerabilities, more questions come to mind!!! First question is, "Did we destroy said Drones?"
Can we be stupid or something? We are to investigate any flying objects, Air Force Intel/NSA, need investigate, anything unknown in our air space flying, that fell to our ground, or don't respond to us favorably!! Just PART of Intel gathering, right?! Are ALL USA National Security Agencies, security measures once put in place, now compromised? Geez Louise, it's so simple, it's hard, is so true when being proactive to protect against enemies Domestic and Foreign, yet because of America being compromised within IMO, my assess-mental opinion, it's obvious we face bizarre reactions to real present dangers, IMO! (Could be us doing an assessment, definitively we don't know), thus meaning, if half of Intel did work in American's favor, perhaps we would NOT be having conversations about so many "What If's", in my opinion! Maybe there IS something good coming, and like everything else, populace doesn't know about it...yet??? Everyone enjoy "Father's Day" coming up, great barbecue's, wonderful memories, croquet games, etc., and being joyfully hopeful, grateful!! (: Relax our minds......
