Prophecy Update #821 – A Dire Situation

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

These are predicted in the Bible and are trending in the world.

One of the Lord’s well known teachings we call The Olivet Discourse.[1] It is His overview of the 7yrs on Earth after the resurrection & rapture of the Church, and before His Second Coming.

He said, “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark…”[2]

Who will be getting married while the world is collapsing?

The Days of Noah are described in the 6th chapter of Genesis. A major reveal is that “the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose… There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”[3]

The “sons of God” are fallen angels. They were having children with human women, producing a race of giants called Nephilim.

This interpretation rises above the rest on account that it is verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls. Fragments of The Book of the Giants were found. Here is a relevant quote: “The angels defiled their women, who begot giants and monsters. The entire earth was corrupted by this blood and by the hand of the giants who devoured much flesh. What the giants did not eat, the monsters attacked.”

Those are the days of Noah that Jesus was pointing us to.

Why were they doing it? Fallen angels were assaulting the DNA of the human race in an effort to contaminate us. The Book of the Giants describes the process angels used to achieve their evil ends.

We interpret modern genetic manipulation, like gene editing, cloning, or transhumanism, as a similar End Times effort to contaminate the human race.

You may have seen the news. The article was titled, Scientists perform world’s first de-extinction to revive the dire wolf that vanished 12,000 years ago. The CEO and co-founder of Colossal Bioscience, Ben Lamm, said in a statement: “Our team took DNA from a 13,000-year-old tooth and a 72,000-year-old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies.”

Meanwhile, ‘Made in China’ is taking on new meaning. Ben Lamm was Joe Rogan’s guest on episode #2031 of the Joe Rogan Experience. According to Lamm, China has already created genetically modified children.

The only thing we are suggesting is this: Jesus said it would be like the Days of Noah, and it is.

Jesus promised His Church, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #820 – Keep Scrolling

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

These are predicted in the Bible and are trending as never before.

There is a fascinating phrase in the last chapter of the OT Book of Daniel. It is 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.”

It is possible to interpret “knowledge shall increase” as a growing understanding of biblical prophecy, particularly Israel’s role which we as dispensationalists emphasize in our teaching about prophecy. As the end approaches, God will allow greater & greater insight into prophetic truths.

Another way to interpret the phrase “knowledge shall increase” is that there will be a surge in knowledge, technology, and information. It is a prophecy pointing to the modern era, where rapid advances in science, communication, and global travel are viewed as signs that the world is moving closer to the fulfillment of End Times events.

There is another way of interpreting this, one that is fairly new, but very likely correct. It has to do with the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are genuine manuscripts written between 250BC & 70AD. They were first found in 1947 in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea. They consist of biblical texts, commentaries, and Essene writings.

The most recent discovery of fragments occurred in March 2021. Archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered more than 80 fragments. These fragments contain Greek translations of the Zechariah and Nahum.

When discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls, the term “fragments” comes-up often. It refers to the small, often broken, pieces of parchment or papyrus that make up much of the collection. Keep that in mind.

The Bible tells us that the OT prophet Elijah founded a school of the prophets. Among other things, the school produced a book of the teachings of Elijah. It is called the Tanna Eliyihu. We do not have that manuscript, but we do have commentaries written about it dating from the 3rd century.  In one of those commentaries we read, “As it was said [by Elijah], ‘Truth will be found in fragments.’ ”

That’s likely a prophecy about the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

What “truth” could that be, seeing the Bible is complete? Both Daniel & the apostle John were told to hold back some of what they wrote. It would be made known in the last days. Elijah was almost certainly talking about those missing “fragments”.

I’m recommending everyone take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls. Start with Dr. Ken Johnson at biblefacts.org

Jesus promised His Church, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Prophecy Update #819 – Shut-Up, Daniel

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

These are predicted in the Bible and are trending as never before.

There is a fascinating phrase in the last chapter of the OT Book of Daniel. It is 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.”

It is possible to interpret “knowledge” as a growing understanding of biblical prophecy, particularly Israel’s role and God’s unfolding plan, which we as dispensationalists emphasize in our teaching about prophecy. As the end approaches, God will allow greater & greater insight into prophetic truths.

Another way to interpret the phrase “knowledge shall increase” is that there will be a surge in knowledge, technology, and information. It is a prophecy pointing to the modern era, where rapid advances in science, communication, and global travel are viewed as signs that the world is moving closer to the fulfillment of End Times events.

By far the most significant “increase in knowledge” is the surge of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is the one tech advancement that can bring all the others together.

As to “knowledge,” some believe that AI can surpass human intelligence, predicting it could happen within the next few decades. In fact, it has many worried.

Elon Musk, when he isn’t putting out Tesla fires, considers AI “the most serious threat to the survival of the human race.”

A landmark report by AI experts concluded, “The potential for artificial intelligence systems to be used for malicious acts is increasing.”

We are not saying that AI will be the fulfillment of these and other prophecies. We are pointing out that AI, and the many other amazing tech advances, are what you would expect to see setting the stage for the End.

I mentioned that the Church & Israel have separate destinies. All Israel that survives the coming 7yr Great Tribulation will be saved.

Jesus promised His Church, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #818 – His Number Is 6GG

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple

Mount in Jerusalem.

These are predicted in the Bible and are trending as never before.

Technological advances interest us because the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ predicts a global government whose cashless economy and services will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier. This identifier, on the forehead or hand, will be necessary for a citizen to make purchases and to participate in society. It will create a tyrannical surveillance society. Once considered fanciful – that system could be implemented right now.

6G is coming.

One source reported, “6G is the next-generation wireless technology that will succeed 5G, promising significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and more efficient connectivity. It is expected to enable new advancements in artificial intelligence, immersive augmented and virtual reality, and internet-of-things (IoT) applications. Unlike 5G, which primarily improves mobile broadband, 6G aims to integrate AI-driven networks, terahertz (THz) frequencies, and advanced computing to support smart cities, autonomous systems, and even brain-computer interfaces.”

Did you catch all that? 6G isn’t simply a better phone network. Artificial Intelligence… Immersive augmented and virtual reality… Internet-of-things (IoT) applications… Advanced computing to support Smart Cities, autonomous systems, and even brain-computer interfaces.

6G will bring together many of the the End Times technologies we talk about. It perfectly describes the rule of antichrist.

They’re predicting a launch by 2030.

Author David Bowen writes, “This has been a slow, deliberate march toward total surveillance, control, and the erosion of individual autonomy. Let’s understand this has been forty years in the making. 6G isn’t just about faster internet, it’s about complete integration with AI, automation, and global connectivity.”

Samsung is saying 6G will revolutionize the way people interact with technology. They say 6G will address economic, environmental, and societal needs. It will be used in entertainment, medicine, education, and manufacturing.

Quoting David Bowen again, “6G will mean the total automation of society – every action, conversation, and movement tracked, monitored, and potentially controlled.”[1]

That is a good description of the reach & authority the government of the future Great Tribulation will exercise.

Jesus promised, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, Get ready; Stay ready; Keep looking up.

Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #817 – We Do Digital Right

We reserve a few minutes to discuss current trends that you’d expect from reading Bible prophecy.

We are futurists. We interpret all unfulfilled prophetic passages as future events that will occur in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, instantaneous global communication, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the movement to rebuild a Temple on the Temple

Mount in Jerusalem.

These are predicted in the Bible and unfolding as never before.

This identifier, on the forehead or hand, will be necessary for a citizen to make purchases and to participate in society. Once considered fanciful – that system could be implemented right now.

Anybody like Taco Bell? KFC? How about Pizza Hut? I read an article this week about their parent company. Its title was, Yum Bets Big On AI As It Attempts To Move To 100% Digital Sales.

Excerpts:

Chief Financial Officer Chris Turner talked about the company’s goal of complete digital sales… saying “Digital sales up approximately 15% and digital mix surpassing 50%.”

Turner said Yum Brands is able to do this through Byte by Yum!, a proprietary software and digital ecosystem that includes AI-driven products for easier operations.

The platform will be used by both employees and customers. The technology will power mobile apps, web ordering, point of sale, kitchen and delivery optimization, menu management, inventory and labor management and various team member tools.

Currently, 25,000 Yum restaurants, which include KFC International, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut across the world use at least one Byte by Yum! product.[1]

I’m not saying Byte by Yum! is the antichrist (although you would expect him to eat Taco Bell).

We read the Bible and it predicts a global, cashless economy – we call it ‘digital.’ All people will be forced into using it or else they won’t be able to by KFC… Or anything! Lo & behold, we read articles like this that are exactly what we expect.

This system will dominate during the future 7yr Great Tribulation. The Church won’t be on Earth!!

Jesus promised, “I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth” (Revelation 3:10).

The resurrection and rapture of the church is always imminent. It could happen any moment; nothing needs to happen before it.

Prophecy Update #816 – Trump & Temple

We set aside a few minutes most Sunday mornings to identify connections between unfulfilled Bible prophecies and current news & trends.

As futurists, we believe every biblical prophecy will be fulfilled literally. This common-sense approach confirms that there will be a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

Daniel and Jesus predicted its defilement midway through the Tribulation. Jesus calls it, “the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the Holy Place” (Matthew 24:15). Other passages tell us that this ‘abomination’ is the antichrist declaring himself ‘God’ and demanding to be worshipped as ‘God.’

Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, recently called President Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. In his first term, President Trump did something amazing for Israel. He moved their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

There is a great deal of speculation that Jews in Jerusalem will take advantage of the Trump presidency in order to get the Temple built.

Those around Trump would like to see the Temple built. Speaking at an event in Jerusalem in 2018, now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said there was “no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the Temple on the Temple Mount isn’t possible,” using the Israeli name for the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands.

He also told attendees that Israel should take advantage of Trump being in office to do what they needed to do in the region, because there were “true believers” in Washington who would back them.

Right now it remains speculation. We are simply pointing-out that this is exactly what you would expect to read about in the news if you are familiar with the Bible and its prophecies. The stage is definitely being set for the Great Tribulation to begin, followed by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to establish his kingdom on earth.

The Second Coming… That’s the real 2.0!

Where do we fit in? Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church prior to His Second Coming, and before the Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.

We will not see the revealing of the Antichrist. The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could occur anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #815 – Hard To Swallow

We set aside a few minutes most Sunday mornings to identify connections between unfulfilled Bible prophecies and current news & events.

Pastor Greg Laurie said, “Jesus Christ is coming back again! The signs all around us – multiplying and converging as never before – remind us of that fact. And that means we could be hurtled into eternity in the blink of an eye.”

Some folks think we ought not look for any “signs.” But it was Jesus who encouraged it. He said, “You have a saying that goes, ‘Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailors take warning.’ You find it easy enough to forecast the weather – why can’t you read the signs of the times? An evil and wanton generation is always wanting signs and wonders. The only sign you’ll get is the Jonah sign” (Matthew 16:1-4 The Message).

Jesus compares His future death, burial, and resurrection to the experience ofJonah (Matthew 12:39-40).  Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, and similarly, Jesus would be in the tomb for three days and three nights before rising again.

I hope you saw the video this week of a kayaker being momentarily swallowed by a whale![1]

CharismaNews.com reported on it. They said,

“Did someone just experience a real-life Jonah and the whale kind of encounter? Off of the coast of Chile, 24-year-old Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father close to the San Isidro lighthouse when he was briefly swallowed by a massive humpback whale,Simancas’ father caught the entire moment on camera, which shows the whale swallowing Adrián and spitting him out soon after.”[2]

In passing I want to mention that it the Bible, the “whale” is described as a great fish specially prepared for Jonah to check-in for 3 nights!

This incident isn’t a major sign. You may not think it a sign at all. I think that the Lord has a flair for the dramatic, and a sense it humor. A news story like this reminds people that Jesus rose from the dead and is alive.

He is alive & He is coming back.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church prior to His Second Coming, and before the Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.

We will not see the revealing of the Antichrist.

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could occur anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0

We set aside a few minutes most Sunday mornings to identify connections between unfulfilled Bible prophecies and current news & events.

We have occasionally mentioned Smart Cities. One site I visited described it like this: “A SmartCity is an urban area that utilizes digital technology to collect data and operate services, aiming to improve the quality of life for citizens by efficiently managing infrastructure like transportation, energy, waste disposal, and public safety through data analysis and interconnected systems, often involving citizen engagement and smart governance.” One of its features is that residents would live within 15-20 minutes walking distance of any and all services they need.

It sounds utopian, but I have a feeling it is going to be dystopian.

Government would have total control over your movements, your purchases, your medical care, etc. If government decided you could only drive an EV a limited distance, for example, they could enforce it by turning off your vehicle. It’s really a complete elimination of personal freedoms.

It interests us because we read in the Bible about just this kind of complete control that will exist in the 3½ before Jesus returns in His Second Coming. The antichrist will be in power, and the people living in that time won’t be able to participate in anything unless they swear allegiance to him by taking his ‘Mark.’ We don’t know exactly what his ‘Mark’ will be. It sounds a lot like the modern tech we call biometrics.

You’ve undoubtedly been following the news regarding the devastating fires in LA. Gov. Newsom  is talking about what he calls a Marshall Plan to rebuild LA 2.0 as a SmartCity.

The Marshall Plan was a post-WWII investment to rebuild European economies.

They’re not talking about rebuilding Pacific Palisades as it was.

It would be rebuilt as the government deems best. Theoretically it could mean no single-family zoning, public transit for ALL, and a host of other things that restrict personal freedom. Some refer to a SmartCity as an open-air prison.

Control over the total population is predicted for the Last Days. There has never been a time in human history in which the government had had so many tools and the technology to significantly control everything about you.

I’m not saying SmartCities is the final form of life in the Great Tribulation. I simply pointing out that this is the kind of thing to expect from our normal reading of the Bible’s unfulfilled prophecies.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church prior to His Second Coming, and before the Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.

We will not see the revealing of the Antichrist.

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could

happen anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #813 – Who Made You God?

We set aside a few minutes most Sunday mornings to identify connections between unfulfilled Bible prophecies and current news & events.

An entire chapter in the Revelation, chapter 17, is dedicated to the future rise of a global religion.

While scholars have historically debated whether it is Islam or Roman Catholicism, there is a new contender: Artificial Intelligence.

One resource explained, “AI-based religions could emerge, where people worship a Godhead based on AI.”

Bryan Johnson is an American tech entrepreneur. In 2016, Johnson established Kernel, a neuroscience startup focused on developing brain-computer interface technology to monitor and enhance cognitive function.

Beyond his entrepreneurial achievements, Johnson has garnered attention for his commitment to longevity and age reversal. He reportedly invests approximately $2 million annually in a rigorous health regimen aimed at reversing the aging process. It is documented in the Netflix film Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever. Regarding that, he recently abandoned a controversial longevity drug amidst fears that it might be accelerating his aging!

He is Mormon by upbringing.

He hasn’t abandoned his anti-aging efforts. He still takes his 17yr old son’s blood.

Johnson was interviewed by journalist Bari Weiss, and made these controversial statements:

“We told stories of God creating us, and I think the reality is that we are creating God. We are creating God in the form of superintelligence. If you just say: ‘What have we imagined God to be? What are its characteristics?’ We are building God in the form of technology.”

Commenting on Johnson’s statements, Joel Berry tweeted, “I’ve never seen the spirit of anti-Christ captured so succinctly by someone.”

Another tweeted, “It sure does seem like they’re creating an image that speaks and bowing down to it. I am so creeped out by this guy.”

It’s getting weird. You can see how AI could play a pivotal role in the global religion prophecies waiting to be fulfilled.

We are not saying that this is the fulfillment of the one-world religion. We are simply pointing out that the Bible predicted this kind of development centuries ago, in a very non-tech time & place.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church prior to His Second Coming, and

before the Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.

We will not see the revealing of the Antichrist.

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could

happen anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Update #812 – Normies

We set aside a few minutes most Sunday mornings to identify connections between unfulfilled Bible prophecies and current news & events.

Occasionally it is important to explain why we do this. I want to do that today.

You may have heard someone use the word, Hermeneutics. It is derived from a Greek word that means to interpret.

Hermeneutics is the study of how to interpret the Bible. What principles & methods do we follow? Why do we follow them?

Our ‘hermeneutic’ emphasizes a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting the Bible. Here is what we mean.

First – We read the Bible in its plain, literal sense, considering the normal meaning of words and phrases. We acknowledge the use of literary devices like metaphors and symbols but we seek to understand them within their literal context.

Second – Reading the Bible this way we conclude that there is a clear distinction between ethnic Israel and the Church they are separate entities with distinct roles in God’s overall plan.

We can reduce all that to one word: Normal. We read the Bible the way we normally would other literature, taking into account its genre and setting and the author’s intent.

One of the political commentators coined a term for voters with common sense. She calls us Normies.

Bible characters read the Bible as Normies, and that includes prophecy. For example, Daniel was a captive exile in Babylon. One day while he was reading the Daily Bread, he said, “In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans – in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”

When Daniel read that the Jews would be able to return home after seventy years, he understood the phrase “seventy years” to mean “seventy years.” Daniel was a Normie!

Jumping way ahead, we read in the Revelation that a Kingdom on Earth will be established by Jesus and will last for one thousand years. You’ll find that prophecy in chapter twenty. The number is repeated six times.

In an article Making Sense of the Millennium, Kevin DeYoung states, “And it goes without saying by this point that I don’t believe that the Millennium is a literal 1000 years… The numbers are symbols.”

How about a group identified as 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel? A Reformed writer says, “The 144,000 is a symbolic number of redeemed drawn from all peoples, not simply the Jews.”

There it is in a nutshell. One thousand is symbolic, not literal. 144,000 is symbolic, not literal The fact they come from the 12 tribes of Israel – not Jews.

We disagree. Daniel would disagree. Jesus disagrees!

When you read the Bible normally, and understand the distinct plans for ethnic Jews & the Church, you discover that Jesus will return in His Second Coming to establish the Thousand Year Kingdom after the Great Tribulation, and before the Kingdom.  You also are inevitably led to understand the resurrection & rapture of the Church is before the Great Tribulation – it is PreTribulational.

And you get pretty excited about the more than 500 prophecies still awaiting fulfillment. You start seeing the stage being set for the events of the End Times culminating with the return of Jesus.

Jesus promised to resurrect & rapture His Church prior to His Second Coming, and before the Great Tribulation would come upon the whole Earth.

We will not see the revealing of the Antichrist.

The resurrection and rapture of the church is presented as an imminent event. It could happen anytime. Right now, for example.

Are you ready for the rapture? If not, get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

Ready or not Jesus is coming!
