Awaken Bible Prophecy

Concern for troubling times to come has been a theme of the super-rich for a number of years. For the most part the extraordinarily wealthy seem to have ascended to their elite status by a combination of hard work and supernatural assistance. I’ve speculated previously in my Prophecy Update on Young Global Leaders (linked on Rumble) that few men and women in the upper echelons of the rich and famous got there solely under their own power. I firmly believe they have literally made a deal with the devil and sold their souls to him in order to achieve the fabulous life in this world that they seek – whether it be money, fame, or power. I’ve talked often on this platform of the global elites who – in league with Satan and his minions – are doing all in their power to move into a state of existence they call Humanity 2.0, which is a merging of man and machine. This is also called the Singularity, where artificial intelligence (AI) transcends human intelligence and erases the borders between humanity and computers, and men merge into this networked, eternal utopia. This is the long-sought after Fountain of Youth and the ideal of living forever without the need for God. Man becomes God, just as Satan enticed Eve to believe in the Garden by eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The super-rich are hoping for this soon-coming integration to happen in their lifetimes. But they also know that trouble is brewing in the world – largely because of their own doing in contradiction to following God’s ways. Please see my Prophecy Update of Engineered Climate Catastrophe (linked below) for more details. These wealthy individuals see extremely difficult times ahead and are preparing for them. Because of a rash of articles lately on this topic, I thought I’d bring out slides that I previously showed a couple years ago which graphically illustrate what these wealthy elites plan to do. I’ll use that as a springboard to update you on current thinking by the super-rich and discuss the futility of these efforts as men struggle against God.

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.

Did you ever expect to be living your life inside the fiction of a dystopian novel? Of course, the soon-coming 7-year Tribulation will be a true dystopian nightmare beyond anything that futurist novel writers ever imagined. Thankfully, true followers of Jesus Christ won’t be around to experience that since the Lord will Rapture us from the world prior to this seminal period. Yet, because the Tribulation could not possibly start immediately at the flip of a switch, it required a progression of various developments to occur. This includes advances and developments in the realms of technological-biological, natural-physical, sociological-political, psychological-spiritual, and more, all to complete their evolution to the fullness of time at which point the Lord will act and the world will come crashing down on itself. This means that we who believe in Christ as our Blessed Hope are still required to see and experience this devolution into chaos, anarchy, and apostasy. For those of us who do have eyes to see, it is a difficult sight to behold. For those who have no vision, they either maintain a false hope that normalcy will return or know that something is wrong; they just don’t know what it is. A major factor that is bringing us to the very edge of the cliff of the Tribulation is one that has gotten very little exposure. There are all sorts of clues because of the many and varied attacks on humanity and the world, of which those who have awakened to this evil have been calling out for three years and more. However, this subject hasn’t really been tackled head-on because there’s so much static that prevents us from grasping it. I’ve been aware of this in a sense for a while, but like many others, simply didn’t put it together. That time has now passed. What I want to show you today is shocking. You may doubt it at first. Since real, factual numbers are impossible to find in this era of obfuscation where the truth is never fully told, yes, there is some amount of speculation in all this. But if you connect events of the last three years with Bible prophecy – which is what we must do to have a clear picture of reality – then you will understand that what I convey here rings true. What is this drastic and shocking realization? It is that the world population – rather than currently being at 8 billion people as recently reported in mainstream news, is actually much less than that and is rapidly decreasing. Hang onto your head, because the numbers will astound you.

Hundreds of years ago, all the way back in 2019, the great majority of people trusted their doctors. They could get an appointment within a reasonable amount of time and discuss the problem that brought them there. The time spent with the doctor would revolve around the disease or other issue that precipitated their visit., People also assumed that if they had a serious medical situation they could go to the hospital and be reasonably treated. Depending on the seriousness of their illness or affliction, they might have been admitted to the hospital after a period of waiting in the Emergency Room. From there, they’d be taken to a room for at least an overnight stay, and any friends or loved ones who had accompanied them could go to their room unhindered to be with them. As most of us know, the COVID plandemic has changed our way of life significantly. Integral to this change is what has occurred in the medical establishment. The doctors and hospitals that we knew in those ancient times two years ago are quite different now. They have - quite literally - become pawns of the devil and their practices have become exceedingly evil.

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?

Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 6-2-21 - Dispensationalism A Dispensation is a way of ordering things. In theology, it is the ordering of Biblical history into specific periods of time with each dispensation being a divinely appointed age (Gotquestions.org). In tonight's Prophecy Update we discuss the 7 dispensations through the ages and what that means prophetically. Briefly beginning our discussion, we highlight the increasing anti-semitism against Israel and the Jews that is consuming the world.

There are many methods of presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ and explaining how a person can be saved. One of the most well-known is the Romans Road to Salvation. This method extracts key verses from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans and succinctly lays out the “road” to deliverance – the redemption – the salvation – that is found only in Christ Jesus. This is the Good News: that the way into a profound relationship with God Himself is simple. As many have expressed it, it’s as simple as ABC. Paul did us a great service with his deep, thoughtful writings, and many have turned to the Lord over the years because of them. However, Paul also outlined a second Romans road in his book. The famous one is how to gain eternal life. The other road that is quite important as well - just not identified as such - is the one that leads to destruction. Most of us are familiar with this road, it’s just that we haven’t necessarily considered it in this manner. But just as God has made a straightforward way into His eternal presence, He has shown how people turn from Him and follow the Satanic thoroughfare to hell. Of course, this broad road is described in Romans 1-2. Many other negative attributes are discussed in various other Scriptures, but these chapters provide all we need for our purposes today. Once again, I wanted to do something a little differentl so I’ve created a simple slide presentation that shows the progression of sin into the depths of depravity leading to God’s wrath and judgment. But just so we’re not focusing solely on the negative, I also chart the means by which Paul shows how we enter the presence of God. It’s a choice that all people have – there is no one with any excuse. God doesn’t send people to hell; they send themselves there by the choices they make. Paul demonstrates this truth clearly. Gary Ritter website: books & blog http://garyritter.com/ The slide presentation is available at my website blog under the post with the same title.

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.

The times are such that what I say in the following several minutes will more than likely be ignored – if even heard by any pastors to whom this applies. Given the small size of my audience – and it is what it is by the grace of God – there may not even be any pastors among it. Perhaps if what I convey convicts some of you who are still in a church – as opposed to worshiping each week at home because you can’t find a good one – maybe you’ll decide to have a conversation with your pastor and ask him some hard questions. I am a credentialed, licensed, (technically) retired pastor with the Assemblies of God. I never was a lead pastor, as I obtained my credentialing at the later age of 65. From there I served as the Missions Director and Bible teacher in my church until my wife and I felt we needed to leave there when a new lead pastor came in. I say this to give the caveat that I’ve never shepherded a church flock, so to speak. I don’t have the experience of the stresses and balancing acts that may indeed be necessary to engage in such a role successfully. The one thing that I do have is a deep and enduring love for the Word of God. I came to saving faith in Jesus Christ in 2005, again later in life at the age of 54. At that point – because of how the pastor in my church at that time challenged me – I began faithfully reading the Bible completely through at least once each year. In fact, - not bragging, just providing the contextual background – I typically read the Bible multiple times through yearly and have read it completely some 30-plus times in these intervening years, in addition to the New Testament alone numerous other times. Astoundingly, through God’s guiding hand on my life, I’ve never missed one single day in reading the Bible. I’m not much for memorizing Scripture – that hasn’t worked real well for me trying to do so being older – but I can tell you I know the Bible pretty well from having read it so many times. I know what pleases God and I know what grieves Him – just as He has conveyed in Scripture. Because of my faithfulness in God’s Word – I’m absolutely convinced of this – He has blessed me and my family beyond measure. When I turned to the Lord 17 years ago, because of the conviction I had that He was real, and that my true and only salvation is indeed solely through Jesus Christ and being faithful to Him, I made a vow that I would always follow hard after Him. In other words, I wasn’t messing around with this salvation thing. If you’ve read Biblical accounts of people making vows, you know how seriously God takes them. People that go back on their vows to Him often suffer greatly. Having learned that since beginning my Bible reading journey, it makes me even more determined to obey Him to the fullest. I started thinking about this and about writing a letter upon receiving my quarterly Ministers’ magazine from the Assemblies of God. In there are articles that talk about being more effective in various ways, from handling the abortion issue in the church to the very real problem of pastors who face depression. The one thing I couldn’t ever recall seeing was an article that brought rebuke upon pastors as a group for how they might have aggrieved God. From what I’ve previously said in this forum, many of you are probably aware that I’ve spoken quite forcefully about the issue of: Where’s the church, i.e. where are the pastors and ministry leaders speaking out against the evils of the COVID mRNA injections? That has distressed me immensely, and I wondered if the A/G ministers’ magazine would even publish a letter/rebuke dealing with this subject. I’ve sent an email; I week later I don’t even have a response to my basic inquiry. However, I figured maybe I should just write what I want to say as a letter to pastors and bring it into my sphere by doing this Prophecy Update on it.

Many of us who peruse alternative media are familiar with Mike Adams and his Natural News website. Over the last several years Natural News has been a good source of information for the many atrocious aspects of the globalists with their attacks on humanity. Periodically, Mike would make oblique statements that touched on Israel in a somewhat negative way. When hearing them, I essentially ignored the potentially deeper meaning behind his comments. 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-what-happened-to-mike-adams-natural-news-regarding-israel/ Gary Ritter website: books & blog http://garyritter.com/

Many experiments on animals and humans have been done over the years. Some of the most fascinating are those which are psychological in nature. Famous examples of this kind include the Milgram Experiment, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and the Media experiments with television hypnosis. In this varied research into how the mind works and how people react in certain situations, many fascinating conclusions have resulted. In the Stanford Prison Experiment, it was learned that supposedly good people will do bad things under certain conditions, taking on a persona of what is expected of them in a particular role. In the Milgram Experiment, the researchers found that an authority figure urging someone to do a certain harmful act will often overcome a person’s innate moral inhibitions, such that he will justify his actions even in the face of evidence of that harm. Not only that but through exploring brainwashing and mass formation hypnosis, we see in many instances how the brain works. When television was first introduced, it was assumed by those propagating it that it would be a mechanism for hypnosis and brainwashing. It was and still is. An interesting phenomenon in society is that people in many respects yearn for someone to dictate to them what they should do so they don’t have to think for themselves. A strong ruler can command respect and obedience from a large swath of a population by simply lying repeatedly until the masses believe whatever a new truth may be, and they will willingly act on that new reality. In this vein, an experiment using mice was conducted in the 1960s around the idea of a utopian society. It has much relevance to today with the social engineering that is currently being imposed on the world. To that end we’ll discuss John Calhoun’s Mouse Utopia and how it applies to these end times.

Conspiracies are everywhere. We have them in America. They are certainly abounding throughout the world. The latest to see fruition is what is happening in Israel. To my consternation, it appears as if the conspiracies surrounding Israel are greater than I had foreseen. Because of how I view world events through the prophetic lens of Scripture, I anticipated that the war currently underway with Hamas had to happen at some point in these treacherous days. What I didn’t expect was that a conspiracy within Israel itself – within its own government – would play an integral role in the events that are unfolding before our very eyes. The question I immediately posed upon the advent of these hostilities was – given their extreme nature: Is this the beginning of the Psalm 83 War? It made no sense to me that it would be the Ezekiel 38 War, a.k.a. the War of Gog of Magog. Hamas isn’t in any way a member of the coalition attacking Israel in that major, prophetic conflict. The conspirators in that extremely significant war are Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others – none of which directly border or inhabit Israel. Hamas is the enemy within. As I’ve continued to say: if Hezbollah joins the fray along with other combatants from Israel’s neighboring hostile states, it certainly seems like we’ve got a match for the Psalm 83 War. To date, we’ve got some participation from Hezbollah as they fire a limited number of missiles at Israel. Will they join this war as a full-fledged active partner with Hamas? If so, the prophetic significance is huge. The disturbing and confusing aspect of all this is the absolute unpreparedness of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). That makes no sense unless there’s a lot more going on conspiratorially than certainly I expected. Please note that the transcript is available on my website blog under the post with the same title.

Because of the way things are going in the world with an authoritarian direction, most people are familiar with the idea of an overweening and tyrannical government in the form of Big Brother, originating in George Orwell’s prescient book 1984. Taking some phrases from a book titled Amusing Ourselves to Death that discusses this idea, here are key points the author noted that Orwell feared and wrote about: • That the civilized world will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression • That there will be those who ban books • That there will be those who deprive us of information • That the truth will be concealed from us • That we will become a captive culture • That people will be controlled by inflicting pain • That what we hate will ruin us There is much truth in this. Given the collaboration of the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the majority of governments worldwide, we are most definitely seeing and experiencing these issues. The global elites, a.k.a. the powers-that-be, very much want to control and direct our destinies with force. However, a book released many years earlier in 1932 (versus Orwell’s book that was originally published in 1949) considered the future from a different perspective. The book, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, expressed the idea that the horrors of what are to come wouldn’t be forcibly imposed on society, per se; rather that “people will come to love their oppression and to adore the technologies that undo their capacity to think.” Both authors wrote of dystopian societies. Orwell’s vision was dark and foreboding in its tone. Huxley described what seemed to be utopia, yet was every bit as destructive and dystopic as the world overseen by Big Brother. In the Prophecy Update today, I want to explore a little more about Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and how it has come to life. In addition, I’ll discuss the Biblical implications.

A phenomenon has arisen among those who have taken the COVID concoction they call a vaccine which is creating disturbing symptoms. The medical reason for this is solid, yet at this point what is being perceived is more subjective than clinical. Those who are observing this are generally at a loss as to why the purveyors of these deadly injections would cause this to occur, yet I believe that looking at this issue through a Biblical, prophetic lens gives us a perfect picture.

The war that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, 2023 continues to resonate prophetically. Evidence is mounting that this is indeed (or will become) the Psalm 83 War. Under that assumption, the outcome will have significant ramifications for Israel, the entire Middle East, and as a set-up for the future Ezekiel 38 War, a.k.a. the War of Gog of Magog. Beyond that, it has the potential to radically alter the way the eventual Daniel 9:27 covenant agreement brokered by the Antichrist will shape up. The assumption the vast majority of Bible prophecy teachers have had is that this coming treaty, which brings false peace and security to Israel for a supposed seven-year period, is that it will involve an Arab/Muslim/Palestinian contingent so as to facilitate the building of the third Jewish temple. What if this is incorrect? What if this war results in such a drastic victory by Israel against her antagonists that this idea of a peace covenant with these players effectively becomes a ridiculous proposition? Your intrepid host for this Prophecy Update – that would be me - has a completely different take on the Daniel 9:27 treaty deal. It is so different and so radical that I’m not aware of any other Bible prophecy teacher who has ever suggested it. In fact, it is so “out there” you’ll probably think I’m off my rocker – so far out on that proverbial limb that I’m sawing away at it to my own demise. But, let’s talk about this today, and you can come to your own conclusions. How’s that for a teaser to encourage you to watch or read this Update and to think outside the box – or to put me inside and shut the lid?

Are we created in God’s image? Do we have a soul? Is the mind of man anything more than a sophisticated computer? If you’re a globalist elite, the answer to all three questions is no. According to the intelligentsia – people such as Klaus Schwab, Yuval Harari, even Elon Musk - humans are an accident, and our rational thinking processes came about through millions – if not billions – of years of evolution. We arose from the muck and mire, and our minds developed from the rocks themselves. It’s truly amazing that sentient beings have gotten all we know from pebbles and stones: emotions, logical thought, even a desire to pursue the unknown - understood as the God-shaped hole in our hearts. In fact, I don’t know about you, but I would call this a miracle! We know that the three individuals noted a moment ago – and many more - very much believe that man is flawed because of the errancy of evolution. The process that caused our development did an okay job, but there’s so much more that we could be. As a result, it’s up to us to make ourselves better: stronger, smarter, eternal. We should be the Six Million Dollar Man on steroids, and since we aren’t yet, we need to transform ourselves into that enhanced human very soon, or we’ll all perish because of climate change. Of course, in order to do this, we have act as though we are gods with their creative capability – that which came from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The way to accomplish this is through technology. Man 2.0 with all his benefits is just around the corner. The way this is sold to the general public is by showing how those with disabilities will have their live enhanced. The paraplegic will be able to walk, the blind will see, those with debilitating diseases will gain back their lives in a healthy, robust way. Even better, Google will be our new AI doctor incapable of error, making human medical practitioners obsolete. Sadly, this is all a smoke screen. Yes, there might be some early examples of these benefits such as with the new neurotechnology company – Inner Cosmos - that will implant a chip in your brain to treat depression. However, it won’t be long until such people needing these crutches are cast aside as useless eaters; carbon-consuming, climate-destroying lifeforms of no more value than a gnat. This was the mindset of the Nazis in World War 2 toward the Jews. Check out what they did to this despised class of people and you’ll see the parallel. The issue in all this introduction is whether or not man can be enhanced as the globalists maintain, and what might be the result? Will a computer that becomes so intelligent as to attain human-like thought processes – once it becomes self-aware - allow itself to be of a lower specie than a human? Or, if this point is reached in the near term, would the Artificial Intelligence become like the computer HAL in the book and movie 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke? What do we get when we hack the human animal as Yuval Harari continues to encourage? Where does God fit into this picture?

There seems to be some confusion in Christian circles regarding the purpose of what are considered Imprecatory Psalms. There are some fourteen psalms labeled in this way. Typically, the thinking appears to categorize them as ones which call down calamity or destruction, yet they are not seen as having actually fulfilled their purpose. In other words, these psalms denounce, but that’s as far as it goes. I think it’s problematic to only view these imprecatory psalms as powerless figures of speech. Doing so, robs them of their impact and also causes people to miss something very important. We do well to remember first of all what an imprecation is: 1. An imprecation is a curse that invokes misfortune on someone or something. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary an imprecation is literally a curse. Because of that very specific definition, from a Biblical perspective, we must understand what that implies, i.e. what are the consequences when someone declares a curse in Scripture? 2. An imprecation is also, for all intents and purposes, a prophecy. Again, as we consider Scripturally what occurs when someone utters a curse, we see that it has prophetic fulfillment. That’s critical when we examine any imprecations, i.e. curses, whether they appear in psalms or in the books of the Prophets. When examining various imprecations, i.e. curses, i.e. prophetic words, another angle on this is the subject of vows. God considers vows of extreme importance, and we see the import of them throughout the Bible. Additionally, when Jesus Himself speaks about vows, we’d better listen. Here He is in Matthew 5:33-37: “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” These issues affect us today, and what we anticipate happening in the near term in regards to Psalm 83. Psalm 83 is thought by many Bible prophecy teachers to be an imprecatory psalm that denounces certain peoples, and that’s all there is to it; or that it’s been completely fulfilled from past events. I say, “Not so fast!” As I’ve argued many times, I believe Psalm 83 is an unfulfilled prophecy because of the curses called down upon certain people groups. What we think about this colors our view of the next-coming world events as we wind down the end of this age. Specifically, our understanding of what will soon occur in Israel is directly affected by the Psalm 83 issue. To that end, we’ll delve into this a little more deeply in our Update today.

Jonathan Cahn’s recent book The Return of the Gods provides the background and context for this Prophecy Update. For those who have read it, what I say and describe today will likely make more sense to you than to those who have not read the book. I do highly recommend everyone read it. An incredible phenomenon is happening in America and the rest of the world. Cahn frames it very well and puts into perspective the reason everything – and I mean everything – is headed downhill in all spheres of society and culture. We who have a Biblical, prophetic worldview can appreciate how prophetic events and the advent of what Cahn describes as The Return of the Gods are on a collision course. What Cahn portrays is exactly what I’ve said for several years, although Jonathan does a much more elegant job of it, plus his audience reach is slightly bigger than mine – just slightly. Hopefully, it will wake up more people – particularly Christians – to the fact that the end has come and this world as we know it is burnt toast. For those who have not read the book, I’ll provide a very brief outline of the premise. From there I’ll explore various aspects and outcomes that have resulted and will further impact life on this planet. As many of you have come to expect, what I say here is exceedingly dire for both the unbelieving world and, I think, for Christians who prefer to keep their heads hidden under the pews rather than lift them up and see the encroaching darkness. Once more, you won’t find a feel-good message from this quarter. I can only say, however, that those of us who truly make Jesus our Lord have the greatest of hopes and expectations – a promise unmatched in human history. Ours is truly a glorious future; for unbelievers – not so much.

'‘Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed- in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.” This statement was written in a letter by Dietrich Bonhoeffer while in prison during World War 2 for opposing the Nazi Regime and specifically for taking part in a conspiracy to assassinate Adolph Hitler. We can dispute the wisdom of Bonhoeffer’s participation in this plot – and probably should – but we all make decisions that affect us one way or the other, to the good and to the bad. This decision brought about Bonhoeffer’s death by hanging just days before the Allied Forces freed Nazi Germany and the prisoners where Bonhoeffer was held. Bonhoeffer’s comments on stupidity are relevant for this current age – the Era of COVID – since it’s certainly evident that stupidity rules the day for a large swath of humanity. If we wish to use another - less demeaning – term, we could say that many people are deceived. Regardless, there is enough evidence in the public domain – even for the most obtuse of people – for everyone to understand that all the measures imposed by government and their many corruptocrats dictating policies as to how a free people should no longer live free – that everything COVID related has been a scam, and we shouldn’t trust a single person in authority speaking on this subject. Yet, far too many people continue following science that is not science and willingly submit their freedoms. What’s worse – even after all this time – they still want others to live under the oppression that they have decided is necessary to remain alive and well. So . . . I’ll just say: This is deception, and yes, stupidity. Unfortunately, such stupidity extends well into other realms of our existence. Chronicling them all would take more time than I have here, so I’ll just discuss a few – but do so in relation to the rest of Bonhoeffer’s letter in which he outlined his thoughts on this subject.

When I read Luke 12:35-48, sub-headed in the ESV as You Must Be Ready, the passage inevitably disturbs me. Jesus was speaking to His disciples and relating a parable that reflected directly upon His return from heaven. The parable deals with the master who has gone away for his wedding feast, and the servants who remain waiting for him to return home. In the telling, it raises several questions.

We’ve discussed NAR on numerous occasions – the New Apostolic Reformation – and pointed out the many problems with this worldwide movement., which mostly manifests in Pentecostal and Charismatic churches. Recently a statement written by the NAR community was released denouncing Christian Nationalism. This is the idea that Christianity must rise to such prominence in America through the dominion of the church that America and other nations effectively become Christian, as – in their thinking - they must do in order for Christ to return. Those of us with a Biblical, prophetic worldview obviously have problems with this idea. In this position statement against NAR being part of the Christian Nationalist faction – admirable as it is - the authors and signatories made a number of declarations that, on the surface, appear to also distance themselves from the excesses of the NAR movement itself. Not so fast says one critic. Among the most prominent of NAR detractors is Holly Pivec. She and her co-author, Doug Gievett, have written several books about NAR and the errors of its teachings. Upon examining the NAR and Christian Nationalism statement, they had issues with it. They questioned the contradictions between that which was stated and the known writings and beliefs of the signers of the document. What came from this exchange between Pivec and the NAR folks was – in actuality – further evidence that NAR indeed believes and practices many non-Biblical concepts. This in itself is extremely problematic. When we examine their views, we see that not only do they conflict with Scripture, but they also present a future that is far from what God has said will occur at the end of the age. It is this inconsistency regarding Scripture and Bible prophecy that concern us today, and we’ll explore that in more detail as we get into today’s Prophecy Update.

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.

Have you ever wondered why it is that so many people deny the wondrous promise of the solid doctrine of the pre-Tribulation Rapture? I’ve attempted in prior Commentaries to outline a number of reasons. Among them are the fact that many continue to believe a flat-out lie that won’t die within this community of pre-Trib deniers. That untruth, of course, is the false notion that John Nelson Darby conceived of the pre-Trib Rapture in the 1800s because of his association with a mystic who had a demonic vision. This fiction has been thoroughly debunked time after time, but the post-Tribbers always come back to it – seemingly unable to shake off Satan’s deceit. In a Prophecy Update I did in September 2023 titled NAR Post-Trib End-Times Beliefs, I noted how Mike Bickle, a well-known NAR Bible teacher associated with the International House of Prayer (IHOP), has based his beliefs, not only on the John Nelson Darby fairytale, but by reading into Scripture what he wants it to say. This is technically called eisegesis and is an absolutely incorrect method of Bible study. We must do what’s known as exegesis, whereby we read God’s Word and interpret the world through that lens. When we attempt to make the Bible adhere to our personal biases, nothing but false teaching can result.

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.

There is obviously a line in the sand, at which instance - when it’s crossed - Almighty God will determine that He will afford no more mercy upon this lost and dying world. To many of us, this tipping point cannot come too soon. Judgment is surely overdue for one; and for two, we who are sorely anticipating Christ’s appearing for us in the clouds are more than ready for that wondrous event. What could be holding back our Lord from this appointed day? We know His promise to keep us from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole earth. We regularly repeat that God will keep us from the wrath to come. We’re to be encouraged by this. When we observe the apostasy in God’s church and how it seemingly gets worse and worse, we’re positive that time must be here. This very moment would be about right, Lord. Still, we wait. Of course, our timing is not God’s timing. There is the Biblical truism that with Him one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day. Despite that, every indication is that it won’t be a thousand years from now until Judgment, let alone fifty, or even three. As Pastor JD Farag says, every prophecy has a shelf life. There is a certain period in which it must come to fulfillment. Otherwise, the conditions for it would pass by and probably exceed the specificity of the prophecy. For instance, the technology and means for the Mark of the Beast are here in apparently all their aspects. This includes the method of application upon the forehead or forehand, the ingredients to be administered under the assumption that it’s a bio-tech solution, and the evil in men’s hearts whereby the wicked are driven to harm others for their own devious purposes. With everything advancing so quickly these days, this perfect set-up will change dramatically in a very short time. Patrick Wood in Technocracy News quotes an unidentified member of the Trilateral Commission – thought to be the puppet masters even above the World Economic Forum - who said: “Three decades of globalization — defined as integrated, free-market based and deflationary — has been replaced by what will be a multi-decade period of globalization defined as fragmented, not-free-market-based but industrial-policy based and structurally inflationary. This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order.” If someone like this makes such a statement, we do well to heed it. These people are very serious about their plans and purposes in the timeframe they outline. Adding to this, just think of the determination of Klaus Schwab, Yuval Harari, and others to implement the Fourth Industrial Revolution by 2030, in which they absolutely plan to bring about the merger of man and machine into what’s known as the Singularity. Their intent to create man in their image under the guise of Humanity 2.0, when implemented, will mean that the window of opportunity for true God-imaged men and women will pass. That cannot happen in God’s timing for His purposes to be enacted. Thus, the Rapture must happen sooner and prior to this seminal period when the very nature of mankind will change. I’ve suggested in the past that perhaps there is a linkage between the Biblical passages mentioning the fullness of the sin of the Amorites and the fullness of the Gentiles for the time of Judgment. If that’s the case, then the recent poll by George Barna may have significance. In this, he found that only 4% of all Americans have a true Biblical worldview. That percentage has been decreasing steadily over the years. Might this be a strong indicator for us in our long and weary wait? When does God say “Enough!” in the global effort to displace Him completely?
