The Bible is 25% prophecy. It has been 100% accurate. We are futurists when it comes to the 300 to 500 prophecies that remain. They will be fulfilled in the future in a physical, literal, global, apocalyptic context.
It makes sense that mankind would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. For example, in the Book of the Revelation, we are told that there will be a global economic system that will be accessed by some kind of ‘mark’ in you or on you. Looking around, we see multiple technologies that could – and I emphasize could – end up being the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts. All of these are increasingly trending in the news.
I always give two disclaimers:
- We are careful to use recognized, reliable sources for news. Sensationalism about the future is detrimental.
- We’re not saying the things we report are the fulfillment of prophecy. We’re saying that they are the things you’d expect to be happening in the build- up to the future Great Tribulation.
The Great Tribulation is a seven-year period that follows the resurrection & rapture of the church, and precedes the Second Coming of Jesus.
It has a lot of names in the Bible. We like the name Jeremiah gave it – The Time of Jacob’s Trouble. It captures the sense of what the Tribulation is about, and that is to bring Jews to faith in Jesus Christ.
The government will be global and totalitarian. We therefore expect governments to be moving in the direction of global, totalitarian control of citizens.
Along those lines, I read an article titled, Obama suggests ‘digital fingerprints’ to counter misinformation ‘so we know what’s true and what’s not true.’
Excerpts:
“The need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true,” he said.
Obama… went on to say that today many consumers are only viewing information from sources they are predisposed to agree with and will likely believe what they see.
“Obviously, we saw that during the vaccination stuff. So, I am concerned about it,” added Obama, referring to the COVID vaccine.
The obvious problem with a “digital fingerprint” is who determines what is or isn’t misinformation. Obama mentioned COVID. A lot of what was flagged as misinformation, or disinformation, turned out to be true.
This is censorship, pure and simple. It is the government telling you what to believe, and how to think.
In a companion article, I learned that there is something called The Disinformation Governance Board. It’s part of the Department of Homeland Security. They are accused of declaring misinformation and disinformation based on politics, not facts.
Government is moving towards totalitarian control by censoring information.
We are witnessing the stage-setting for the seven year Time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that is described in the last book of the Bible.
We will not be on Earth during that terrible Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The resurrection and rapture of the church are imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.
Jesus will come, in the clouds, and raise the dead believers of the Church Age. He will transform the bodies of living believers to glorified, resurrection bodies.
We will join Him in Heaven while the earth endures one final seven-year campaign of severe evangelism.
Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.
Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
