"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars ... nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes ..." (Matthew 24:6-7)

Introduction

Signs of the last days are increasing and there is so much deception in so many areas that it can be confusing to know what to believe or who to trust. God and His word is our most reliable source of information. Not that it explains every detail of what is going on in our world but it does give a big picture view. I would encourage readers to consider this verse:

"And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." (Rev 18:23)

Take a look at the meaning of the Greek word behind the word given as the means of deception - it is quite revealing. The signs of the last days are certainly increasing but to many they are obscured by one prominent factor that is having such an impact of life in our world today.

The news items below are picked from many showing that there cannot be much time left for planet Earth.

Worldwide Freedom Protests Millions upon Millions of People Rising Up

Mar. 21, 2021 Martin Armstrong

March 20th, 2021 has been a Worldwide Freedom March which of course the US Media IS CALLING as "far-right"or "MAGA" or "QAnon" related. The US press is so anti-Constitution or human rights they call anyone who disagrees with lockdowns as an "extremist" who they imply really should be imprisoned for daring to disagree with them. In London, where they cannot blame Trump, somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 people came out without masks to peacefully protest. Others who have been charged criminally for just protesting and £10,000 fines imposed, have had even their PayPal accounts closed to prevent others from trying to even donate money to help them. This is just ruthless behavior and any journalist who puts out this propaganda is no different than those who worked for Lenin during the Russian Revolution.

Meanwhile, YouTube is hard at work at removing all videos that show peaceful protests around the world. Those in mainstream media have really become the enemy of freedom and the people. There were no links to QAnon worldwide. They just make this stuff up. The anti-Trump propaganda continues. Even in a local election for a Mayor, the Tampa Times called the Republican "a Trump Supporter" illustrating that there is no possible way Biden stands for unity. The only choice will end up with outright violence which is what our computer has been projecting for years.

7 Plagues That Are Hitting Our Planet Right Now

March 21, 2021, Michael Snyder

Things are starting to get really crazy out there. In recent interviews, I have used the term "stability" to describe the current state of affairs, and some people may think that is quite strange. But I stand by that assessment. In the short-term, we have experienced a period of relative stability over the last couple of months, but of course that will soon change. I believe that global events will soon greatly accelerate, and much chaos is on the horizon. However, that certainly doesn't mean that nothing of importance is happening at the moment. In fact, the following are 7 plagues that are hitting our planet right now ...

#1 A Plague of Millions of Rats in Australia

Could you imagine having so many rats infesting your community that it is literally impossible to ever get away from the smell? Right now, millions upon millions of rats are making lives miserable for countless residents of Australia, and in some instances it is literally taking hours just to clean up all of the poop that they leave behind ...

#2 Large Earthquakes

According to the USGS, usually we get about 15 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater each year ...

According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 16 major earthquakes in any given year. That includes 15 earthquakes in the magnitude 7 range and one earthquake magnitude 8.0 or greater.

So far in 2021, we have already had 7 that are magnitude 7.0 or greater, and that includes a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that just shook Japan ...

#3 Volcanoes are Roaring to Life All Over the Globe

According to Volcano Discovery, 29 volcanoes around the planet are currently erupting right now, and that includes a volcano in Iceland that had been dormant for hundreds of years ...

The Fagradals Mountain volcano in southwest Iceland had been dormant for 6,000 years. But on Friday night, following weeks of earthquakes in the area, the volcano came to life.

9 Signs That Chess Pieces Are Being Moved Into Place For A Major War In The Middle East

March 7, 2021, Michael Snyder

The American people are really going to regret putting the warmongers back in control. Joe Biden has been in the White House for less than two months, and the warmongers that Biden has surrounded himself with have been feverishly setting the stage for the next war in the Middle East. I do not believe that it will start within the next week, but I do believe that it is inevitable. While President Trump was in the White House for four years, the U.S. didn't start any new conflicts, but now the Biden administration is quite determined to start projecting "American influence" all over the globe once again. Most Americans don't understand the bigger picture, but the truth is that this is going to have very serious implications over the next few years.

In this article, I would like to examine some of the chess moves that have been made since Joe Biden entered the White House. As you will see, a very troubling picture emerges once you start putting all of the pieces together.

#1 Literally one day after Biden was inaugurated, a massive U.S. military convoy rolled into Syria ...

A large US military convoy entered northeastern Syria on Thursday, Syrian state news agency SANA reports, citing sources on the ground.

According to the report, the convoy included some 40 trucks and armored vehicles and was backed from the air by helicopters.

President Trump had tried very hard to disengage from the war in Syria, but Biden has made it crystal clear that the U.S. will be heavily involved in that conflict moving forward.

#2 Just a few weeks later, Joe Biden conducted his first airstrike against Iranian-backed forces inside Syria ...

The US has carried out an air strike targeting Iran-backed militias in Syria, in the first military action undertaken by the Biden administration.

The Pentagon said the strike destroyed "multiple facilities" and was ordered in response to attacks against US and coalition personnel in Iraq.

Militia officials said one person had been killed but a war monitor reported at least 22 fatalities.

Hundreds of Florida residents report side effects following Wuhan coronavirus vaxxination

March 4, 2021, Ramontomeydw

Hundreds of residents in Florida have reported various side effects after they got the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine. Fevers, chills, headaches, severely sore arms and even hallucinations were among the adverse reactions recorded in the state. Given the reports, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that some people might experience side effects enough to make them miss work for a few days. The adverse reactions occurred after they got either the first or second shots of the two-dose vaccine. Michael Whitworth was among those who got the Wuhan coronavirus jab. He experienced "just soreness in the arm" after the first dose, leading him to expect the same with the second dose. Whitworth described the second shot as "a completely different story" after he felt severe pain and soreness at the injection site that prevented him from moving. The adverse effects worsened 10 hours after he received the jab. Whitworth experienced low-grade fever, shaking, chills and pale lips. He also started hallucinating, which he described as similar to being given "an injection of [psychedelic] mushrooms." According to the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the reaction Whitworth experienced is a very rare case. The VAERS database tracks adverse reactions following any kind of vaccination. It was created more than three decades ago in response to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. The database aims to serve as a "national early warning system to detect possible safety problems" in U.S. vaccines and is co-managed by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS reports are voluntary, which has led to the Department of Health and Human Services to comment that adverse reactions being under-reported is one of its main limitations. Whitworth was among those who got the Moderna vaccine, one of two mRNA COVID-19 jabs which the FDA authorized for emergency use. The other candidate made by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech was also linked to a number of adverse reactions. According to the CDC, 21 cases of life-threatening anaphylaxis connected to the Pfizer/BioNTech jab were reported between Dec. 14 and Dec. 23 last year.

The coronavirus vaccines have also been linked to the death of a Florida doctor. Several deaths within days or hours following vaccination were also reported - even among young and otherwise healthy adults. In fact, it has been linked to the death of 56-year-old medical professional Dr. Gregory Michael.

COVID Cases Are Spiking In A Dozen States With High Vaccination Rates

March 19, 2021, Tyler Durden

As Europe struggles with a "third wave" of COVID infections that's forcing more governments to reimpose at least some lockdown measures, the US is finding that the number of newly confirmed cases is climbing again, with some of the biggest week-over-week increases seen in states that had been praised for their vaccination diligence.

The US is adding roughly 55K new cases per day, a level that it has plateaued over the past months (though deaths have continued to move lower). Yesterday, health authorities counted 56.9K new case, and 1,052 deaths.

COVID cases are spiking in 13 states over the past week. The rebound in new cases in states like Michigan (which is leading the country over the past week with a 53% spike in new cases) Nevada, Maryland and Connecticut are raising concerns about whether new variants discovered in New York State, along with other variants like the Kent Strain (B117) and other international strains.

Here is another site discussing spikes in cases in relation to vaccination rates:

24 World Leaders Call For More Globalism In Wake Of Pandemic

Health crisis used to tout "global community" as replacement for "nationalism"
March 30, 2021, Steve Watson

Twenty four world leaders have signed a letter calling for more globalism to combat future pandemics, citing the the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity to consign nationalism to the dustbin of history.

UK prime minister Boris Johnson, German chancellor Angela Merkel, and French president Emmanuel Macron are the leading figures behind the pledge, with 21 other heads of state signing the letter.

It states that "nobody is safe until everyone is safe," and that a “global community” must be further implemented in order to combat 'inevitable' future pandemics.

"At a time when Covid-19 has exploited our weaknesses and divisions, we must seize this opportunity and come together as a global community for peaceful cooperation that extends beyond this crisis," the letter states.

"Building our capacities and systems to do this will take time and require a sustained political, financial and societal commitment over many years," it adds.

The letter compares the situation to the aftermath of the Second World War, and urges an end to "isolationism and nationalism".

The pledge calls for a strengthening of the World Health Organisation's infrastructure, despite the global health body's documented failures in regards to the pandemic, and continued charges that it has facilitated the communist Chinese government's lies and deceptions.

WHO director general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also signed the letter, having repeatedly slammed nations including Britain and the US for putting their own populations first when it comes to recovery.

The letter specifically calls for a global treaty on pandemics to be signed to establish international 'rules and norms' for vaccine production and distribution, as well as coordination on 'alert systems, data-sharing and research'.

Presumably any global treaty would also address restrictions to be put in place under future pandemics, although that is not made clear in the letter.

Health ministers of nations are set to meet in May at the World Health Assembly, and could discuss a global treaty there.

Revenge of the Gods

California's proposed ethnic studies curriculum urges students to chant to the Aztec deity of human sacrifice.
March 10, 2021, Christopher F. Rufo

Next week, the California Department of Education will vote on a new statewide ethnic studies curriculum that advocates for the "decolonization" of American society and elevates Aztec religious symbolism-all in the service of a left-wing political ideology.

The new program, called the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, seeks to extend the Left's cultural dominance of California's public university system, 50 years in the making, to the state’s entire primary and secondary education system, which consists of 10,000 public schools serving a total of 6 million students.

The religious narrative is even more disturbing. Cuauhtin developed a related "mandala" claiming that white Christians committed "theocide" against indigenous tribes, killing their gods and replacing them with Christianity. White settlers thus established a regime of "coloniality, dehumanization, and genocide," characterized by the "explicit erasure and replacement of holistic Indigeneity and humanity." The solution, according to Cuauhtin and the ethnic studies curriculum, is to "name, speak to, resist, and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial condition" in a posture of "transformational resistance." The ultimate goal is to "decolonize" American society and establish a new regime of "countergenocide" and "counterhegemony," which will displace white Christian culture and lead to the "regeneration of indigenous epistemic and cultural futurity."

This religious concept is fleshed out in the model curriculum's official "ethnic studies community chant." The curriculum recommends that teachers lead their students in a series of indigenous songs, chants, and affirmations, including the "In Lak Ech Affirmation," which appeals directly to the Aztec gods. Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka-whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism-asking him for the power to be "warriors" for "social justice." Next, the students chant to the gods Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, and Xipe Totek, seeking "healing epistemologies" and "a revolutionary spirit." Huitzilopochtli, in particular, is the Aztec deity of war and inspired hundreds of thousands of human sacrifices during Aztec rule. Finally, the chant comes to a climax with a request for "liberation, transformation, [and] decolonization," after which students shout "Panche beh! Panche beh!" in pursuit of ultimate "critical consciousness."

The chants have a clear implication: the displacement of the Christian god, which is said to be an extension of white supremacist oppression, and the restoration of the indigenous gods to their rightful place in the social justice cosmology. It is, in a philosophical sense, a revenge of the gods.

Incredible Growth of Christianity in China Has Government Leaders Worried

Feb. 2, 2021, Prophecy News Watch

As Christianity rapidly grows in China, Chinese president Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party are clamping down, fearing that the size of the Christian church may eventually force them to share power.

The size of the Church in China is set to rise impressively in the coming decades. Up 16 million from just a decade ago, if it continues to grow at its current pace (between 7 and 8 percent each year), it may reach 300 million people by 2030 - creating a collective people big enough to challenge Xi's government.

However, as the number of Christians in the country grows, so does the level of pressure from the government to conform. Since Chinese President Xi Jinping came to power, the government has increasingly sought to tighten its grip on religious groups. The Communist Party relies strongly on Chinese cultural identity to stay in power, and works hard to make sure nothing in the country is a threat to the absolute authority of the Party. In just three years, the country has risen 26 places on the Open Doors persecution list, reflecting the intensity of the increasing oppression.

The Prepping of Society for the Antichrist

Sep. 15, 2020

When 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that.

Since the virus first appeared in the United States, the goal line for easing government restrictions, lockdowns, quarantines, and face masks has continually changed. They have gone from flattening the curve, which the CDC said would take two to four weeks, to reduced hospital admissions, to everyone receiving a vaccination, and to Dr. Fauci recently stating that people can return to movie theaters only after the vaccine has been available for an entire year.

But will the arrival of a vaccine mark a return to normal? According to Tucker Carlson's August 26th report on The Fox News Channel, the goal line has moved yet again. He quoted the World Health organization (WHO) Director General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus as stating that finding a vaccine for COVID-19 is not the final goal. No, the ultimate aim is the "reordering of society." He quoted the WHO director as also saying this, "We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were."

Dr. Ghebreyesus of the WHO summed it up this way, "The COVID-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change." Tucker Carlson quoted Bill Gates as saying that the COVID-19 pandemic signifies "that the rest of us will have to sacrifice even more to save the earth from warming."

So, what's the connection between the virus and climate control? Tucker Carlson nails it with these words, "both are pretexts for mass social control."

This "social control" is paving the way for the coming world government. The global warming alarm and the fear generated by COVID-19 are prepping society for the arrival of the antichrist.

Christians Debate The Prophetic Future Of America - Prosperity vs End Times

credits, date

Are you surprised by America's sudden meltdown? Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed the greatest public health crisis in 100 years, the lockdowns that were instituted to control the pandemic resulted in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, widespread civil unrest erupted in the aftermath of George Floyd's death and has not stopped since, and now we are witnessing the greatest political turmoil since the Civil War.

Despite all of this chaos, many Americans remain absolutely convinced that the greatest days of the United States are still ahead of us. To them, the current problems we are facing are just minor bumps in the road that will soon be resolved as we continue to steamroll toward an incredibly glorious future.

Personally, I don't see how this makes any sense at all, but there are millions upon millions of people out there that actually believe this.

Of course millions of other Americans believe that we will surely reap what we have sown. More than 60 million unborn Americans have been slaughtered since 1973, just about every form of wickedness that you can possibly imagine is absolutely exploding in our society, and we continue to push God out of every aspect of public life.

Does it make any sense that God would bless us more than ever before when we have completely and utterly rejected Him as a nation?

Once upon a time America was a Christian nation, but that is definitely not the case anymore. But for those that still claim to be Christians, a great debate about the future destiny of our nation has been raging, and recent events have brought that debate to the forefront.

On one side are believers that are convinced that these are the end times that are described in the Bible. Jesus warned us that the times just before His return would be the most difficult in all of human history, but He didn't want us to be afraid. He wanted us to know that He knew about all of these things in advance, that He has a plan, and that He is in control.

In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us that there would be "pestilences" in the last days. Of course we are already going through the COVID pandemic, but scripture tells us much worse is coming.

The Bible also speaks of economic turmoil in the last days, and that definitely kicked into high gear in 2020. Americans filed more than 70 million new claims for unemployment benefits, and that was the worst year in all of U.S. history by a very wide margin. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning.

Moving forward, there will be more wars, unprecedented natural disasters, nightmarish plagues and great chaos all over the globe.

But despite all of the signs that have already been fulfilled, many Christians absolutely refuse to believe that these are the end times. Instead, they are absolutely convinced that we are headed directly into times that will be more glorious than ever before.

So why do so many believe this?

Well, it is because of a relatively new theology that has been spreading like wildfire in recent years. It is called "Kingdom Now theology", and this is how it is described on a Christian apologetics website called "Got Questions"...

Kingdom Now theology is a theological belief within the Charismatic movement of Protestant Christianity, mainly in the United States. Kingdom Now proponents believe that God lost control over the world to Satan when Adam and Eve sinned.

Since then, the theology goes, God has been trying to reestablish control over the world by seeking a special group of believers--known variously as "covenant people," "overcomers," or "Joel's army"--and that through these people, social institutions (including governments and laws) would be brought under God's authority.

The belief is that, since believers are indwelt by the same Holy Spirit that indwelt Jesus, we have all authority in heaven and on the earth; we have the power to believe for and speak into existence things that are not, and thus we can bring about the Kingdom Age.

At the heart of this theology is a belief that things are going to steadily get better and better as Christians progressively take over every realm of society.

Ultimately, proponents of this theology believe that Christians will eventually take over literally everything and establish God's Kingdom on Earth. Once Christians have taken over everything, they will simply hand the keys of the Kingdom over to Jesus once He finally returns. Here is more from "Got Questions"...

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)
