Awaken Bible Prophecy

If you consider the financial world with its cognitive dissonance, you know something is terribly wrong, and that we are teetering on the brink of disaster.

I must be a masochist. Not content to call out erroneous post-Trib Rapture and NAR doctrines, US government conspiracies, and the medical profession for their devilish, homicidal participation in the depopulation agenda which I call Hospicide, I also have to take on the Vatican. Is it something simple like their faith by works beliefs or the false un-Scriptural notion of purgatory? Oh no – I have to investigate their thinking about Genesis and Revelation – the two cornerstone books in the Bible. Why would I take on this little task? Only God knows. Two 100-page books came into my possession from a thrift store. My wife thought I’d find them interesting. Thanks, Dear, one more project. Both books were written by a Catholic priest by the name of Albert Joseph Mary Shannon. I wondered about that second middle name of Mary. Did he come from a Catholic family that so revered Mary as the mother of Jesus that they couldn’t resist given him that name despite his being male? Or at a later point in life did he adopt that additional middle name? The books in question are titled: Genesis – The Book of Origins and Apocalypse – The Book for Our Times. As I note in the name of this Prophecy Update, they comprise bookend beliefs of the Catholic church. Because of how Catholicism sanctions various works, these are representative of Biblical beginning and ending beliefs within Catholicism. As such, they are indeed problematic when seen in the light of Scripture. Today as Part 1 of this dive into these books, I want to briefly discuss the first of the two works: Genesis – The Book of Origins. This will by no means be exhaustive, but I think representative of the thinking that comes from the Vatican and infiltrates the minds and hearts of the people in this religion. Next week I’ll continue this effort in Part 2 with Apocalypse – The Book for Our Times, a look into how Catholicism views the book of Revelation.

In recent posts I’ve discussed several issues related to the belief of those who hold to a post-Tribulation Rapture position. In response, one person who uses the screen name of “postribber”, challenged me by pointing out two Scriptures that he clings to as support for his belief. To that end, rather than debate him in the Comment section of my posts, I first suggested he read more widely and directed him to Rapture Ready (https://www.raptureready.com/). Whether he’ll take me up on that is another question. In thinking more about this, I decided to examine the two Scriptures that postribber thinks support his view. This Commentary does that.

Sometimes there’s so much going on that it’s difficult to keep up with all the prophetic events happening both in plain sight and behind the curtains of media censorship. To that end, to cover the issues that are important in these final days, I often find it a lot easier to write a shorter Commentary than a longer one. That’s how I’m approaching today’s Prophecy Update with two separate and very necessary discussions that were initially created for my weekly Biblical Audio Commentary. The first is titled War Cry, which addresses the persistent efforts in the world to bring about World War 3. The second deals with what I call the Two Financial Bombshells Looming – the latest attempts to completely lock up the world’s economic systems. I do have some reference links for the things I discuss, but in this case, they are embedded in the Transcript on my website blog, not on the Rumble page as usual.

Four brief stories presented here are only a small part of the many such incidents that have occurred for almost 100 years as the Communist Left has infiltrated America and done all within its power to bring us down. It does so with lies and innuendo – labeling anyone who disagrees with its positions as conspiracy theorists.

Having dealt previously with the probable alien deception that will be used to explain away the Rapture of true believers in Jesus Christ prior to the Tribulation, i.e. the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church, in my Prophecy Update of May 31, 2023 titled Alien Invasion, I wanted to return to this issue of aliens because they likely show up later in the 6th Bowl Judgment at a key point just prior to the final curtain call on this unbelieving world. It's a funny thing how we can get caught up in a certain narrative because it’s so dramatic, but then lose the thread of it when so many other events take precedence. This has certainly been true with me. I’ve explored the issues of Babylon, the Harlot, Gog and Magog, the Psalm 83 War, and how the demonic realm will mislead the world with the great alien deception. When the Great Disappearance takes place, much chaos and confusion will overtake large portions of the earth as governmental authorities and the apostate church struggle to bring calm out of the fear and grief. Have no doubt that the explanations are already well tuned. In the last several years the peoples on this planet have been conditioned to trust and believe anything the media tells them coming from their masters in the government. Not only has this obedience been instilled to meet the ever-expanding needs of the globalists and Deep State to exercise control over the masses, but it will also be used to convince their subjects that those who vanished were evil and due for spiritual retribution. The increasing publicity of alien UFO encounters is setting the stage for people to think that the New Age Great Awakening will soon take place. After all, those who opposed it and emitted destructive vibrations that harmed Mother Gaia are now gone, paving the way for a bright and glorious future after the earth settles down in its restored harmony. But this early appearance isn’t the last the denizens of this world will experience. Satan and his minions have need of the alien phenomenon at least one final time. This will occur late in the Tribulation when the 6th Bowl Judgment is poured out.

Just when you think the falsehoods espoused by the so-called prophets and apostles of NAR – the New Apostolic Reformation – have been proven wrong enough that these purveyors of fabrications would quietly slink away, they come back as bold as ever.

There are a lot of people out there who are really serious about saving our planet through various green initiatives, misguided though they may be. However, the individuals pushing this narrative from the very top of the food chain – the globalist elite – don’t believe in this scam one little, teeny bit. They truly couldn’t care less about the earth and especially about the general population inhabiting it, despite their encouraging those under their sway to cry about saving humanity. They care only for themselves with the money they rake in and the control they are able to exercise over the masses. The true believers in the climate change agenda are somewhat lower on the food chain and are primarily those inhabiting the Deep State, along with the useless idiots parroting the propaganda – as well as working diligently to do their part for Mother Gaia. All this has resulted in much blather about the catastrophe the world is facing, and that it will end in 5 – 12 – 20 years; take your pick, as the experts have been spouting this nonsense for decades. This is the reason, by the way, that the term being used now is Climate Crisis. The sad and ironically funny aspect of this is that those shouting the gospel of planetary doom and destruction are actually correct at this juncture of world history. Man is destroying the planet. However, it’s not through our inadvertent carbon and methane emissions; rather it’s a result of purposeful weather manipulation – such as with HAARP – the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program - and incredibly foolish strategies to combat the results, such as the brilliant (“audacious!”) idea to block out sunlight – known as solar radiation management (or modification, a.k.a. SRM) - to halt global warming primarily by injecting reflective chemical compounds into the earth’s atmosphere. From this we have the grand plan to make everything worse around us so that those in charge can truly be in control with all peoples everywhere depending on the morsels of handouts they provide. This is the ironically funny part. The sad aspect of all this is that God’s hand is definitely in this as well because of the necessary coming judgment. Very soon the Lord will rain down plagues of various kinds that will truly make the planet a barren wasteland. Worse than that, most of those living on the earth as this happens will lose their lives and their souls – this, last a far worse catastrophe than anything that happens to their earth mother. In today’s Prophecy Update I want to show you the extent to which all this climate alarmism is leading. In the UK various prominent universities have collaborated, with government funding of course, to produce what is effectively a playbook for every aspect of their society (and, truth be told, the world) whereby they will slay the climate monster through their Green Machine machinations. Their document promoting this is called Absolute Zero – and yes, it proposes to achieve just that with every sort of theoretically harmful emission they can imagine. This leads to what is envisioned as a very different way of living than what we currently know. For fun and the resulting tears, we’ll briefly discuss some of what this group is aiming for. You can bet your bottom dollar that the objectives outlined in the Absolute Zero paper will not remain limited to the UK for long.

“How shall I harm thee? Let me count the ways.” Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning for changing the words of her classic ode so dramatically. The reality is that this is the sonnet sung by the evil Left on a daily basis.

I’m not sure what it is about many post-Tribulation Rapture believers, but there is some number of them that are just plain mean. They are so invested in their post-Trib doctrine that true believers in the church today must go through the Tribulation in order to be real believers, that they unpleasantly attack those who don’t agree. If you don’t think post-Trib is a Biblical position and have no desire to experience the horrors of this coming time that will consume the entire earth, then many declare you’re not part of the Bride of Christ, i.e. you’re a false believer who is going to hell. (Note: I’m not saying that all post-Tribbers act like this or say these things, but there are enough of them, and they are often quite vocal.) Add to this their thinking that everything God was going to do with Israel is already done, and that the church shows up throughout the book of Revelation chapters 6-19. In other words, all promises related to the people and the land of Israel that the OT prophets wrote of, and the Apostle John relates in Revelation concerning God’s Chosen People, aren’t really about them at all. Because we who believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church also read the Bible very differently and understand fully that God still has much work to do with the Jewish people, we are told that we’re liars and spawns of Satan. Hard to imagine that fellow Christians could be so un-Christ-like isn’t it? Today, I’ll prove that to you by discussing a series of comments that were made on my Rumble channel in response to a Prophecy Update I did in February of this year titled: A Controversial Rapture Discussion. Now, the premise of my Rapture thesis is one that is indeed controversial with many good Christian believers standing on one side or the other of what I discussed. Regardless, the fact that we do have disagreement among us on certain aspects of the Rapture as I discussed hasn’t elicited any hostility. That’s the difference in the issue regarding pre- and post- Trib positions. Numerous times I’ve been attacked by post-Tribbers along the lines that I’ll speak of today. And I know I’m not alone. Many other pre-Trib Bible prophecy teachers have been savaged in the manner that you’ll see shortly. What is it with these people? I don’t really know, but I’ll tell you that the oil of unity among brothers seen in Psalm 133:2 certainly seems to be missing with them.

This is a never-ending source of fascination for me: How is it that those who adhere to a post-Tribulation Rapture perspective can actually look forward to those horrific seven years of God’s wrath and judgment? And they do. There is almost a glee about many of them as they consider these coming difficult times. In their thinking: Oh, they’ll be shielded by God and also be performing astounding miracles. I think some see themselves symbolically as the Two Witnesses. They’ll live in protected, sustainable communities apart from all those on the receiving end of God’s punishment. It’ll be a glorious time, unlike any other ever experienced on the earth for them. Well, they’ve got that last part right.

There’s been much written about the identity of Babylon and its richly deserved destruction as chronicled in Revelation 17-18. Is it actual Babylon or symbolic about that locale? Is it literally the rebuilt city in Iraq, or is it metaphorically Rome, or someplace else like New York City or Jerusalem? I’ve spilled plenty of ink over this subject myself along with many other Bible teachers. If you’re interested, I’ve linked a couple of my writings about this on my Rumble channel. The reason for today’s explorations into God’s prophetic Word comes about because of my reading The Final Prophecies by Bill Salus. In that book he has a chapter titled: What Happens to the Harlot World Religion After Her Desolation? I hadn’t really given that much thought, but in considering Salus’ argument, I think he’s got a good point. Given what Bill has suggested, I think we can come to an even fuller understanding of this demonic location that has brought such corruption and devastation to the earth as stated about the Harlot and her association with this place in Revelation 17:5: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. As usual, I take an idea and run with it by adding my additional thoughts and research. This approach often provides a fuller understanding or even a somewhat different understanding from that of the original author. So, let’s try to see what we might learn about this mystery and what light we can shed on this subject.

I’m going to apologize up front for this Commentary because its premise is so disgusting – yet, if we don’t examine these issues, we remain willfully ignorant or hopelessly naïve, our heads stuck in the sand, and we as Christians then cannot pray against the evil.

Bible prophecy teachers are seldom in lockstep about various events in Scripture. One of the seminal prophecies that causes disagreement is the War of Gog-Magog as recounted in Ezekiel 38-39. Although this is among the most detailed of foretellings in the Bible, there are several different takes on when it will occur. I don’t know of any prophecy position, i.e. futurist, preterist, or historical, that places this war in the past, thus it remains an unfulfilled prophetic event. The question then becomes: When in the future will it happen? There are four timeframes in the future that I’m aware in which prophecy experts say this war will take place. They are: 1. At the very end of the Millennium 2. At the very end of the Tribulation 3. Sometime early in the 7-Year Tribulation 4. Prior to the Tribulation I’m in Camp #4, and in this Prophecy Update will show you why none of the other possible timings make any sense given the details of this war in Scripture.

The zeitgeist of the day seems to be that the sacred Word of God, the Holy Bible, must be rewritten to align with the various ideologies in the world. Rather than sinful people looking for answers seeking them in God’s actual Word, Scripture must be altered to comport with the various ideas out there about what it means to be holy and righteous. Thus, answers are given to the world based on man’s ideas of what is best for humanity. The transcript for this audio commentary is available at my website blog under the post with the same title: https://garyritter.com/biblical-audio-commentary-the-pfizer-bible/ Gary Ritter website: books & blog http://garyritter.com/ Kindle Vella story: Tribulation Rising https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099Z462WD

There is so much to learn from the trials, tribulations, and underlying apostasies of God’s children, Israel and Judah, when they turned away from Him in rebellion. When we read the Old Testament, we see that sinful people practice their sin regardless of who they are and in what earthly dispensation. As it was in ancient Israel, so it is today in America and the rest of the world. Jeremiah 5 provides a template for our instruction as to what occurred in Jerusalem during the times that God was supposed to be the Holy One of Israel, the One whom His people were to faithfully follow. These truths are evergreen in that the sinful falling away during that era absolutely apply to our condition in these end times. What we see is a very sad state of affairs, which is evident all around us. The key to grasping all this is to understand that which grieves God to the core. These things are the same yesterday, today, and forever. What is it that gives God heartburn about His unfaithful human creation? The two primary issues are encapsulated in the first two of the Ten Commandments. #1 is having another god in place of, or in addition to, our Holy God. #2 is the creation and worshiping of idols – images of any sort – in place of the Lord. Follow these two paths at any time of history and you’re in serious trouble, destined for self-imposed trials, tribulations, or even soul death. Why? Because then you’re grieving the Holy Spirit, which is a death knell. In today’s Prophecy Update we’ll look verse by verse at this description that Jeremiah 5 provides and draw the inevitable analogy to our desperate times.

We had to take an unexpected trip to Chicago. My brother broke his leg, and we went to check on how he was doing. In a normal situation a broken leg would be painful but not necessarily cause for visiting as we did.

If all the signs of the very end of this Church Age have converged and are in full swing right now at this very moment, how long can these indicators continue to remain teetering on the edge of complete fulfillment? In other words, do these Biblical prophetic indicators have a finite shelf life as Pastor JD Farag has said many times? Or, can they simply continue indefinitely in their current state and not advance beyond what the Bible says they must be for the end to come? Does technology progress? Or does it remain stagnant? If you’ve followed civilizational progress to any extent, you know that the world has been spinning forward at a crazy pace. It could even be said that it’s falling in line exactly as stated in Daniel 12:4: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Are we not in a time where people come and go, one place to another, from local to global, seemingly in the blink of an eye? Even more pertinent, aren’t many chasing their tails in fruitless pursuits of social media fame, social justice, or trying to change their gender because it’s the popular thing to do? Isn’t technology on the brink of advances so profound and unheard of even ten years ago with the advent and promotion of General Artificial Intelligence that humanity itself teeters on the edge of extinction? Can we not agree that we who study Bible Prophecy have seen all these events come together in rapid order – particularly related to Israel – such that God has surely unsealed His end-times book? The Prophecy Update today considers several of the factors happening in such a way that there can be no doubt that the end is very near. In fact, were as much as five years to go by from now, we would greatly exceed what God has said in His Word that would occur in the last days. That, obviously, cannot happen or God would have stated the condition of the world based on those future technologies. As you’ll see, given the state of affairs, the Tribulation is very near indeed.

In past times, once a nation acknowledged the divine being that ruled it, that spiritual entity became an ironclad fixture in the existence of its people. The nation might also have lesser gods to which it gave allegiance and oblations, but that primary god was always seen as the one that directed the course of its destinies.

This Prophecy Update will be slightly different. It combines two different subjects that I comment upon. Sometimes these individual, shorter topics come together more quickly than a single longer theme, although they are hopefully not any less pertinent. The two issues I bring forth today are the following: The first, titled: Beware of Watchers Bearing Gifts discusses the immense changes in human life that came about in the antediluvian era through the seemingly benign and quite helpful gifts given to mankind in a difficult time where presumably all activities were a constant struggle. The second, titled: Exposing Evil looks at the current efforts to reveal the wickedness in high places and what it accomplishes in these final hours. In both Commentaries, we come to understand that God continues overseeing the affairs of men and that His plans and purposes inevitably prevail.

There is a blindness among Christians concerning the times and what is to come. We who believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture probably have a better grasp of this than those who scorn this true Biblical position. We’ve pointed out many times that the place in which we’re at in human history is one that Scripture prophetically calls out.

As you can imagine, this isn’t an official catechism by any means, but it does more or less fit the description as put forth in Wikipedia: A catechism, from Ancient Greek meaning "to teach orally", is a summary or exposition of doctrine and serves as a learning introduction to . . . Christian religious teaching. Catechisms are doctrinal manuals – often in the form of questions followed by answers to be memorized – a format that has been used in non-religious or secular contexts as well. With my version, it’s certainly not a doctrinal manual, nor do you have to memorize it. I’m really calling it by this name because of the Q&A dialog I’m using, for better or for worse. We could also describe it as a primer for how to dig into Scripture, which, when we do so, can yield surprising results. You’ve seen some of that in my prior offerings whereby I discuss whether Once Saved, Always Saved is a valid position and if indeed the equation Salvation = Rapture holds true. We won’t discuss these two issues directly today, but with their two ideals in mind, we’ll see how they hold up in this Q&A catechism-like format. As I’ve stated a number of times, one of my objectives is to get folks to think, and not to just believe in a particular position because your pastor said it. The questions we should all ask are: What does Scripture say? What are the implications when we look at all sides of certain passages? How might this affect what we’ve been led to believe simply because someone else said it and declared it true? Just a word: In no way do I challenge salvation doctrine. I hold an absolutely Biblical position with that as put forth in the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths. What we’re examining today are certainly related, but with effectively peripheral issues like the ones stated a moment ago, there is room within traditional Christianity for different interpretations of Scripture. I’m going to show you today how someone can come to an interpretation that may differ from yours. If you’re up for the challenge, hang on.

Bible teachers are split over whether there is an upcoming Psalm 83 War or not. Is the psalm simply imprecatory, or is it prophetic still to this day? If an imprecatory psalm, then it’s only one that calls down curses on Israel’s enemies. If prophetic, the issue is whether its foretelling was fulfilled in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence or one of its subsequent conflicts; or does its prophecy remain – still not achieved?

The topic of angels, fallen angels, and aliens with their UFOs is of paramount importance in these last days. Going back to time immemorial, various peoples have seen unexplained aerial phenomena and encountered strange beings not of this earth. We know Biblically, that God has come down to this world at times in a chariot of fire and has appeared to men as a man, although fantastically glorious to behold. What most people in the church don’t really apprehend is that beyond the person of Satan, there are many more divine entities operating in, over, and under this world which don’t have the best interests of humanity in mind – if fact, their demonic objective is to steal from, kill, and destroy the human population just as the Bible describes is Satan’s goal. In many instances throughout history, rebellious spiritual entities, a.k.a. sons of God, a.k.a. Watchers, a.k.a. fallen angels, have appeared as angels of light. They entice men and women to follow their teachings while at the same time drawing them away from the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. These demonic beings want nothing more than to keep people from saving faith in Jesus Christ, or perhaps worse, cause them to renounce their great salvation in Him. Probably the worst offender in this regard is the being or beings that appear to those who generally follow Catholic doctrine. This entity shows itself to be Mary – Mother Mary – the mother of Jesus. She speaks, prophesies, and displays little curiosities that people look on as miracles, such as a statue of Mary weeping, the seeping of a seemingly inexhaustible source of oil flowing from a picture of Mary, or the image of Mary appearing with the baby Jesus on a tortilla – yes, I’m serious. More impressive are what are known as Marian apparitions, described as follows by Wikipedia: Marian apparitions are reported supernatural appearances by Mary, mother of Jesus, or a series of related such appearances during a period of time. These appearances are often paired with some type of message Our Lady wants to communicate and can be anywhere from one short appearance to several over the course of years. To be classified as a Marian apparition, the person or persons who claim to see Mary must claim that they see her visually located in their environment. If the person claims to hear Mary but not see her, this is known as an interior locution, not an apparition. A couple of the most famous of the apparitions were Our Lady of Lourdes in France in 1858 and Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal in 1917. Inevitably, the focus is not on Jesus with these very public visitations, but they often do speak of wars, countries like Russia, and other prophetic issues. So, our questions for this Prophecy Update are: What are these novelties? What are the primary manifestations of the demonic today? Where do they lead?

The worse things get, the more I yearn for the return of Jesus in the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church. Yet, as I look around me it’s evident that secular society doesn’t look forward to this seminal event (obviously), and sadly, neither does most of the church.
