We are now in our eighth year of presenting a Prophecy Update. This is #394 in that series.
If you’re wondering why we talk a lot about prophecy, it’s because one quarter of the Bible is devoted to it. One in every four verses is either a fulfilled prophecy, or a future one awaiting its fulfillment.
Eighty-percent have already come true. Since those that have not come true are all concerned with the end of the world, all that could have taken place has already done so, with 100% accuracy, giving us ample proof that the remaining prophecies will be literally fulfilled.
Knowing the end times prophecies, it is our belief that we can therefore identify trends in the world, and news, that would be expected in light of them.
We’re not saying that the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecies – only that they are what you’d expect to be happening in the light of what we know about the future.
What I want to talk about today is a little unusual. Have you heard of the global phenomena that’s being called “the Hum?”
It’s not a TV show that’s on after The Voice.
The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people.
Hums have been widely reported by national media in the UK and the United States. The Hum is sometimes prefixed with the name of a locality where the problem has been particularly publicized: e.g., the “Bristol Hum” or the “Taos Hum”.
Data from a Taos Hum study suggests that around two percent of the population could detect the Taos Hum. For those who can hear the Hum it can be a very disturbing phenomenon. Among those who cannot hear the hum and some specialists, there has been skepticism about whether it exists.
It’s real; at least three suicides have been linked to it in the UK.
TechTimes.com reported,
People from different parts of the world have been left terrified after hearing what is believed to be an evil-sounding trumpet noise coming from an unknown location in the sky.
Residents who were able to capture the ominous sound went to upload their recordings on social media sites. Several of these clips came from Canada, Australia, Germany and the United States.
In a video shot last month from Germany, a child can be seen frightened stiff as the strange noise blasted from afar.

A May 20th article posted by dailymail.com was titled, What IS this strange sound from the sky? Noise heard across the globe for nearly a DECADE – but nobody has an explanation.
Excerpts:
Sounding like a trumpet… a selection of videos shot from the Canada to Ukraine, via the U.S., Germany and Belarus show strange goings on above us.
And the eerie sounds have been continuously heard at all different times and locations for almost a decade.
Geoscientist David Deming from the University of Oklahoma has previously written about a phenomenon called The Hum – ‘a mysterious and untraceable sound that is heard in certain locations around the world by two to ten per cent of the population’.

There is a website dedicated to documenting and mapping the hum around the world. It states,
Most people find this website because they are searching for the source of an unusual low frequency sound. The sound is called the Worldwide Hum. The classic description is that it sounds like there is a truck idling outside your home. For some people, it is a deep and distant droning bass tone. Some people perceive the sound as a rumbling noise. The sound is louder indoors than outdoors, and louder late at night than during the afternoon.
People who can hear the Hum are very often in their 40s or older. In the more serious cases, the Hum can affect quality of life; in a number of documented cases, the torment of the noise can be life-altering. To date, more than 4000 people have entered their locations and data.

What does this have to do with Bible prophecy? Maybe nothing!
It is interesting to note, however, that, in the Revelation, about half-way into the Tribulation, you read,
Rev 16:17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Rev 16:18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
We also know that, at the coming of Jesus for His church to resurrect and rapture us, there will be a trumpet blast heard in the heavens:
1Th 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Noises in the heavens are going to play a prominent role in the future. It’s just interesting that, suddenly, select groups of people are becoming aware of noises from the sky.
File this one under the heading, “Let’s Wait & See.”
We don’t need to see anything happen, or to be fulfilled, before Jesus can resurrect and rapture the church. It is presented in the Bible as imminent.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
