Prophecy Unfolding: Why Today's World Looks Exactly Like The Bible Warned

Prophecy Unfolding: Why Today's World Looks Exactly Like The Bible Warned

BRITT GILLETTE

Almost two thousand years ago, Peter prophesied about the last days. He said just before Jesus returns, people will openly mock the Second Coming. They'll say, "What happened to Jesus? I thought He was coming back? Yet everything remains the same as it has since the world first began" (2 Peter 3:3-4). 

I'll bet you've heard this argument many times. But is it true? Is the world of today "the same as it's always been"? Absolutely not. In fact, it's absurd to say it is.

Why? Because the truth is the exact opposite. Our generation is unlike any before it. Not only can we point to clear signs of His Return, but almost every sign the Bible says to look for is present right now. Some signs are completely fulfilled (such as the re-establishment of Israel as a nation state). 

Others seem to be in an early stage of fulfillment (such as the emergence of a revived Roman Empire in the form of the European Union). Regardless of the stage of fulfillment, some form of almost every end times sign is converging in our time. Nevertheless, most people remain ignorant of these signs. And that's a shame.

Remember, Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of His time for their failure to recognize His coming. He said they knew how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but they didn't know how to recognize the signs of the times:

"He replied, 'You know the saying, 'Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.' You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don't know how to interpret the signs of the times!'" Matthew 16:2-3 (NLT)

Jesus expected the religious leaders of His day to recognize the signs of the coming Messiah. In the same way, Jesus expects us to recognize the signs of His Second Coming.

So let's take the same approach. Just as you know a storm is coming when you see dark clouds on the horizon, these signs will alert you to His return:

1) Israel Back in the Land

In A.D. 70, Roman soldiers put down a rebellion, sacked Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and carried the Jewish people to the farthest corners of their Empire to serve as slaves. They tried to eliminate every trace of the nation of Israel, even renaming the land Palestine in honor of Israel's historical enemies, the Philistines. Rome intended to erase the memory of Israel forever.

Fortunately, God had other plans. Thousands of years ago, He foretold the long exile of His people. He promised to call them from "among the nations" (Ezekiel 39:28), from "the farthest corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12), and from "north, south, east, and west" (Psalm 107:3). He promised to welcome the Jewish people home from the lands where they were scattered (Ezekiel 20:34), and He promised to restore them to the land of Israel from distant lands (Jeremiah 30:2, 10). And this is exactly what He did. 

Every person on earth is an eyewitness to the modern miracle of Israel. Long ago, the prophets said this restoration will precede a monumental event - the coming of the Messiah to set up His everlasting Kingdom (Isaiah 35, Joel 3, Jeremiah 23, Micah 4). In other words, Israel's existence in our day and time is a sign the Second Coming is near.

Think about that. Then think about this... For 1,878 years, Christians could not point to this sign. Israel didn't exist, and the Jewish people were not in the land. But today? Jewish people from around the world return to Israel on a daily basis.

2) The Jewish People Back in Jerusalem

When the disciples asked Jesus to reveal the signs of His coming and the end of the age, He gave them one of the keys to understanding the timing of His return. He told the disciples this: Jerusalem "will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end." And then? After that, Jesus promised to return (Luke 21:24-28).

So when did this time period begin? The Gentile trampling of Jerusalem began with the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70 by Titus and the Roman legions. For centuries thereafter, Gentile kings and kingdoms held complete control over the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem. However, in June 1967, the Six-Day War concluded with Israel in control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount for the first time since A.D. 70. And according to Jesus, the Jewish repossession of Jerusalem will immediately precede His return.

For 1,897 years, Christians could not point to this sign. The Jewish people did not control Jerusalem. For those 1,897 years, numerous Gentile kingdoms ruled over Jerusalem. But today? Today, Israel controls Jerusalem.

3) Israel's Neighbors Out to Destroy Her

More than three thousand years ago, the prophet Asaph claimed the surrounding nations would be unanimous in their contempt for Israel. He said they will say:

"Come, let us wipe away the nation of Israel. Let's destroy the memory of its existence." (Psalm 83:4)

And

"Let us take for ourselves these pasturelands of God." (Psalm 83:12)

Do these statements sound familiar? They should. They're almost word for word what we hear in the Middle East today. And we've heard these same declarations from the Muslim world over and over again since May 14, 1948.

The enemies of Israel claim the land belongs to them, that "the mountains of Israel have been given to us" (Ezekiel 35:12-13). Syria, which lost the strategically important Golan Heights in the Six-Day War joins a chorus of Israeli critics in claiming "the Golan Heights belong to us" (Ezekiel 36:2).

Again, for 1,878 years, this sign didn't exist. Israel's neighbors weren't out to destroy her because Israel as a nation state didn't exist. But today it does, and the Bible tells us this hatred toward Israel will take place "when the time of Israel's iniquity comes to an end" (Ezekiel 35:5). In other words, when God brings His people back into the land after a long exile.

The Converging Signs

All the signs mentioned here - the re-establishment of Israel, the Jewish back in Jerusalem, the dramatic increase in travel and knowledge, and many more - point to the nearness of His return. Not a single one of these signs existed for almost the entire history of Christianity - and now they all do! Think that matters? I do.

When the disciples approached Jesus and asked Him, "What are the signs of your coming and the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3). Jesus replied by giving them a list of signs and events to look for - signs such false prophets, earthquakes, wars, and desecration of the Temple. But Jesus said one sign in particular is cause to "look up" because your redemption draws near. Our generation is witness to that sign. So what is it?

Convergence.

That's right. The most significant sign of all is not a single sign, but the convergence of all the signs Jesus, Moses, and the Old Testament prophets said to look for. Jesus said, "When you see all these things occur, look up. For your salvation is near!" (Luke 21:28). Note that Jesus didn't say, "When you see these things, I might come back in a couple hundred years." No. He said, when you see all these signs, I'm "right at the door" (Mark 13:29).

The convergence of so many specific and detailed events - events Jesus told us to look for - should command the attention of even the most hardened skeptics. Why? Because for more than 1,800 years following the crucifixion, these signs were noticeably absent. But today? Today, we see them all around us. For the first time ever, each of these signs is present - and all at the same time. Think that's a coincidence? I don't. It's not a coincidence. And time will prove it's not. Jesus is coming. Now is the season of His return.

Russia Test-Fires Long-Range Missiles to Simulate “Massive” Nuclear Response to Enemy Strike

Russia Test-Fires Long-Range Missiles to Simulate “Massive” Nuclear Response to Enemy Strike

Karen Faulkner

Amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and increasing closeness to the Islamic jihadist regime of Iran, the Russian military on Tuesday test-fired long-range missiles to simulate a “massive” nuclear response to an enemy first strike, Reuters reports.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin announced the exercise: “Given the growing geopolitical tensions and the emergence of new external threats and risks, it is important to have modern and constantly ready-to-use strategic forces.” 

Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov added in a statement that the purpose of the drill was to simulate  “a massive nuclear strike by strategic offensive forces in response to a nuclear strike by the enemy.”

Reuters notes in its report that the test-firing occurred at “a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war, after weeks of Russian signals to the West that Moscow will respond if the United States and its allies allow Kyiv to fire longer-range missiles deep into Russia.”

Russian references to nuclear activity cause widespread unease among Western leaders. On a recent visit to Beijing, the President of Finland asked China to assist in de-escalating Russian nuclear activity, Euronews reported. “[…] it is very difficult to trust President Putin, especially when it comes to nuclear weapons, and that’s why it’s extremely important that a major power such as China keeps on having dialog with Russia and make sure that we can de-escalate as much as possible,” Finland’s President Alexander Stubb told reporters after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping.

Last chance to stop a nuclear Iran

Last chance to stop a nuclear Iran

Henry Kopel

Under clear pressure from the United States, Israel refrained from targeting Iran’s nuclear development sites in last week’s retaliatory strikes against Iran’s military assets. But that merely delays Israel’s dilemma of what to do about this existential danger.

By all Western intelligence estimates, Iran is at most months and possibly just weeks away from having deployable nuclear weapons. Hence, both the United States and Israel face an inescapable choice: Either massively bomb Iran’s nuclear development sites now to stop and disable its drive to nuclear weapons capacity or forgo such a strike, thereby subjecting the world to the terrifying specter of a nuclear-armed Iranian regime.

For Israel, the necessary response is obvious. Ever since the 1979 revolution that installed the Islamist theocracy, Iran’s ruling mullahs have declared ad nauseam their intent to destroy the “Israeli cancer” that afflicts the Muslim world. In the past half-century, the country has massively invested in that goal by financing and arming a ring of terror armies that surround Israel. All those Iranian proxies seek to perpetrate a modern-day Holocaust in the Middle East: Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad in Israel’s south; Hezbollah to the north; Syria, along with related Syrian-based militias, in the northeast; and the Houthi terror gangs in the far southeast.

Iran effectively declared open war on Israel in October 2023, both by green-lighting thousands of Hamas terrorists to storm the border on Oct. 7 to slaughter, rape and maim thousands of innocent Israelis and by launching a year-long barrage starting on Oct. 8, with tens of thousands of Hezbollah missile and drone strikes launched towards communities in Israel’s north. This has forced more than 100,000 people from both the south and the north to become refugees within their own country, many of whom are today still languishing in hotel rooms far from their homes and workplaces. Proportionate to population size, this would be like 3.7 million Americans forced to abandon their homes along the southern and northern borders.

So far, Israel has waged an extraordinary defense against those genocidal proxy armies. But once Iran has nuclear weapons, such efforts will be rendered nearly irrelevant. As then-Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani declared in 2001, “The use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything.”

This imminent need to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran is not just an existential problem for Israel. 

Since 1979, Iran’s leaders have declared that their annihilationist targets include “the Great Satan” (America) and the “Little Satan” (Israel). Iran’s national assembly routinely prefaces its business with chants of “Death to America!” Iran’s growing ballistic-missile arsenal—now the largest in the Middle East—can strike targets across the region and in parts of Europe.

A nuclear-capable Iran would radically diminish both America’s and its allies’ capacity for action and influence in the Mideast. This reality is illustrated by NATO countries’ self-imposed limits and frequent expressions of apprehension in supporting Ukraine against nuclear-armed Russia. Iran’s nuclear blackmail would likely preclude the anticipated entry of Saudi Arabia into the 2020 Abraham Accords and could lead to the collapse of that unprecedented Arab-Israeli peace architecture.

The existential threats of a nuclear Iran do not end there. Possibly the greatest risk lies with the question: What will Iran’s neighbors do? Would they place their hopes in diplomacy and American security guarantees? They all know that Ukraine did exactly that in 1994 when it surrendered its nuclear-weapons arsenal in exchange for a U.S. security guarantee, and they all know how that worked out. This is why many expect that if Iran reaches nuclear-weapons capacity, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt will all follow suit.

Here is the real endgame of the decision not to take out Iran’s nuclear capacity: The end of nuclear nonproliferation and the launch of a Middle East nuclear arms race. After that, it’s down the proliferation rabbit hole with a plethora of unstable Islamist regimes bristling with nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, this is precisely the endgame that inexorably follows from the Biden-Harris administration’s highly public pressure campaign against an Israeli airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In effect, the administration is protecting Iran’s march to nuclear-weapons capacity, despite Iran’s clearly stated genocidal goals, despite its half-century shadow war on the free world, and despite the irreversible risks to the free world from a nuclear Iran.

We have one last chance to prevent such a catastrophe, but the window is about to close. The time to strike is now.

6.0 magnitude earthquake strikes off Oregon Coast near Bandon

6.0 magnitude earthquake strikes off Oregon Coast near Bandon

John Ross Ferrara

A 6.0 magnitude earthquake happened off the Oregon Coast on Wednesday.

The quake occurred approximately 173 miles off the coast of Bandon at approximately 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The shallow quake occurred about 6.2 miles below the Earth’s surface.

The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center reports that no Tsunamis are expected as a result of the offshore quake.

Washington state emergency management officials posted on social media that while it can be scary to see a 6.0 magnitude quake happening near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the one Wednesday was in the Blanco Fracture Zone, where quakes are quite common.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a 600-mile-long (965-kilometer) fault just off the coast that runs from Northern California to British Columbia. Tectonic stresses have been accumulating in the zone for more than 300 years, and seismologists say it could rupture at any time, causing a megaquake and tsunami.

Japan Approves New Self-Replicating, 'Next Generation' Vaccine

“The Third Atomic Bomb”: Self-Replicating RNA Vaccines

Rhoda Wilson

Dr. Robert Malone recently returned to the USA from Japan. While he was there, a large crowd were protesting the roll-out of the new self-replicating RNA vaccines which the Japanese are referring to as “the third atomic bomb.”

At the end of September, Dr. Robert Malone was speaking at a rally in Washington D.C. when he referred to the self-replicating RNA vaccines, or replicon vaccines, that are being rolled out in Japan.

Dr. Malone had recently returned from the International Crisis Summit 6 held in Tokyo, Japan, on 25-26 September.

“I just came back from Tokyo where they had a 30,000-person rally because they’re about to deploy self-replicating RNA vaccines. Japan is being used as the guinea pigs for the world for this new technology. The Japanese people are calling this the third atomic bomb,” he told the crowd at the Rescue the Republic rally.

The replicon vaccine Kostaive is one of the five injections included in the Japanese government’s routine CV vaccination program, which began on 1 October and runs until the end of March.

Japan was the first country to approve the replicon vaccine which is being dubbed the “next generation” mRNA vaccine.  The European Medicines Agency is currently reviewing a request for the injection’s approval in the European Union. 

Earlier this month, Japan Times reported that the new replicon CV “vaccine” has “sparked extreme anxiety among parts of the public, leading some businesses to deny services to those who have received the shot and causing at least one clinic to stop giving the vaccine for fear of being harassed.”

It is not only the Japanese who are extremely concerned about the replicon injections – we all are.  In the following Paul Philips poses 20 questions about replicon “vaccines” we should all be asking.

New Self-Replicating Nanotech Vaccines – 20 Questions We All Should Be Asking

In spite of the mass protests the vaccine industrial complex perpetrators are set to defy these protesters: The Japanese MHLW (Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare) gave approval to the proposed ARCT-154 vaccine rollout.

As stated by Dr. Malone there have even been threats of legal action on the protesters, even jail time, for criticising the vaccine, labelling them as spreaders of “misinformation” in spite of the fact that the drug manufacturer doesn’t seem to be able to provide any data in support of mRNA replication capabilities in the new vaccine when injected into humans.

This new “vaccine” is planned to be rolled out in the United States, sometime in the fall.

In light of this here are 20 questions we all should be asking NOW.

1. Given that, in retrospect, the Japanese have been staunch opposers of the vaccine, for example, their government had issued a public apology over its detrimental effects, doesn’t this country’s 180° turnaround indicate that the deeply dark corrupt medical establishment and associates in their genocidal octopus alliance have shown overwhelming control over Japan and its decision making, and will likewise influence other countries?

2. Isn’t it clear evidence that crimes in the medical-pharmaceutical establishment have been committed when severe illnesses and deaths from their toxic poisons haven’t been addressed? Consider this with regard to the VAERS data and its much underreporting.

3. If it was such a great product then why is it maiming and killing so many?

4.  Aren’t the dangers to life, lack of safety and cover-up of unlisted potentially harmful adjuvants (vaccine ingredients) more than apparently clear by now, due to a lack of scrutiny?

5. Where is the “First Do No harm” or “Hippocratic Oath” (more like hypocritic oath) in all this??

6. Why aren’t the medical-pharmaceutical government agencies, related healthcare workers and academia really looking into these vaccine adverse event injuries with serious challenges, where are their interrogations?

7. Following on from the above, when the corporate media is blatantly in collusion with the medical-pharmaceutical with their misinformation and disinformation, cover-ups and lies, isn’t this stand-down behaviour another clear case of “harm over health” in this profiteering racket?

8. Further, when injected into the body, how does the self-replicating nanotech process switch off?

9. Do the vaccine manufacturers even care whether or not the self-replicating process switches off?

10. La Quinta Columna claims that the related research carried out on the vaccines shows no mRNA present, but its self-replicating aspect is based on graphene oxide nanotech. Is the mRNA claim merely a cover arm for the graphene nanotech?

11. Following on, given that there is no related data available, no human trials indicating what these injectables are doing, aren’t the manufacturer’s pictures and illustrations explaining what is going on, for example, so-called viruses represented as “spikey balls,” merely cartoons based on unproven theory??!

12. Could the lack of data be because we are not privy to knowing what the vaccine is really doing in human bodies?

13. What about the level of the so-called vaccine activity over time with consideration to the long-term and its effects on humans?

14. How exactly is the genetic make-up targeted and how do the genes switch on and off?

15. Can the self-replicating transfer, for example, in pregnant women to their unborn child, where is the evidence to say doesn’t?

16. Considering the interrogatory and the lies in response, what then, are we missing here?

17. Considering the related research with its fake science manipulations does anybody want to be jabbed with unscientific propaganda theory??

18. If we do not push back won’t this self-replicating nano-technology be so far advanced that there will come a time when nothing can be done about it? For instance, consider a scenario where vaccine robot police enforcement detects that you have been un-vaxxed. If you refuse to be vaxxed then they will force-vaccinate you with their vaccine guns.

19. Following on, will it make you an outright enemy of the state “conspiracy theorist” to believe in your body’s natural ability to heal; to have a healthy immune system supported with naturopathic health?

20. While these nut-job globalists isolate themselves in a protective bubble from shedding, could the rest of the world population soon become too sedated to realize what’s happening to them, isn’t the writing on the wall?

The list goes on.
