Ready Or Not :: By Daymond Duck

In early Mar. 2023, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati wrote, “According to those who gather such statistics, of the 2.42 billion people who bear the label ‘Christian’ today, only 6.6% believe in the rapture of the church.”

As one who constantly writes and talks about the Rapture, I am well aware that there is widespread unbelief, but it shocks me that only 6.6% of those that call themselves Christian believe in it (if the number is right).

This much I do know: Every jot and tittle of the Word will be fulfilled.

And the Rapture is going to happen whether church members believe it or not, whether they are ready or not.

We cannot know the day and hour, but we can know when it is getting close, and here is information on recent events that seem to indicate that we are getting close.

One, concerning world government, the decline of America, and deceit: on Mar. 30, 2023, former Pres. Trump was indicted supposedly for paying hush money to a porn star to keep her quiet during his 2016 campaign for President, and it could get worse.

Here is what several Republican politicians said:

  • Mike Pence (Former Vice-Pres. of the U.S.): “The message that this sends is a terrible message about the American justice system.”
  • Kevin McCarthy (Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives): “Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election. As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump.
  • Ron DeSantis (Gov. of Fla.): “The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American.
  • Nikki Haley (Former Gov. of So. Car.): “It is more about revenge than justice.”
  • Jim Banks (Rep. from Indiana): “This isn’t just an indictment of President Trump; it’s an attempt to intimidate anyone who goes against the Left’s radical regime!”

Glen Beck (author, TV commentator, etc.) said, “The Great Reset mob, including Biden, the Democrats, China, neocon Republicans, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, the UN – all of them want to take down the United States because it is in the way of the Great Reset New World Order – and Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have especially been in the way.”

Gary Bauer (Campaign for Working Families) said, “Some might say, ‘I don’t like Trump, why should I be upset?’ Here’s why: This is the stuff of tyranny. It is a gross abuse of the law. It is political persecution.”

Nancy Pelosi (Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives): “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”

(Note: Pelosi’s statement shows that the system has been corrupted. An honest system says Trump is innocent until proven guilty. It does not require Trump to go to court to prove his innocence. It requires his accusers to take him to an honest court to prove he is guilty.)

If Bill or Hillary Clinton had been indicted, it would be a different matter, but Deep State puppets are not prosecuted on charges like this.

There is overwhelming evidence that the Biden family, and especially Hunter, have been engaged in illegal activity, especially in Ukraine and China, but they have not been prosecuted.

As far as I am concerned, the worst thing about Trump’s indictment is that it is about surrendering the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order.

Payday will come, but we do not know how far away that is on God’s calendar, and it will be devastating for those on Earth.

Two, concerning world government, the cashless society, and tracking all buying and selling: on Mar. 20, 2023, it was reported that a growing number of U.S. national parks (Badlands National Park, Crater Lake National Park, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park) no longer accept cash for entrance fees and other services.

These places (and more will soon follow) join at least 20 other federal places (Devil’s Tower National Monument, FDR’s former home, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial, to name a few) that have stopped taking cash.

For years, some Bible Prophecy teachers have taught that tracking all buying and selling requires a cashless society, and it is shaping up now.

Three, concerning a resumption of the animal sacrifices: on Mar. 30, 2023, it was reported that a group of rabbis has petitioned Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir to allow them to sacrifice an animal on the Temple Mount at Passover (starts at sundown on Apr. 5, 2023).

Past governments have not allowed animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount, but Netanyahu’s new government is more religious than before.

The Arabs are opposing this, and what happens remains to be seen.

Four, concerning the decline of America: on Mar. 16, 2023, it was reported that Pres. Biden’s new budget proposal will drastically cut funds to the U.S. Navy.

According to the article, Pres. Biden wants to prematurely retire eight ships and two combat vessels that have about 600 vertical launch systems that would be needed if we got into a war with China.

Five, concerning the decline of America: on Mar. 29, 2023, it was reported that a high official in the Israeli government said the Biden administration has recently tried to topple Prime Min. Netanyahu on two different occasions.

This refutes Biden’s claim that he is a friend of Netanyahu, and it ignores the fact that God promised to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel (Gen. 12:1-3).

Why would the U.S. try to topple Netanyahu?

The U.S. is siding with liberals, globalists, and Muslim radicals that want Israel to be a secular nation and not a religious nation.

They do not want Jews to go by the Scriptures, take control of the Temple Mount, rebuild the Temple, establish religious settlements on the West Bank, outlaw LGBTQ, etc.

Six, concerning the decline of America and the coming economic collapse: on Apr. 3, 2023, the Institute for Supply Management reported that production in U.S. factories has reached its lowest point since 2009 (excluding the Covid-19 recession).

According to the article, money that Biden requested for jobs in the U.S. is going to Chinese manufacturers and people that give large sums of money to the Democrat Party.

Seven, concerning the decline of America, hyper-inflation, and the coming economic collapse:

  • In 2023, Russia announced plans to reduce oil production by 500,000 barrels a day starting on Mar. 1, 2023, and ending on June 30, 2023.
  • On Apr. 2, 2023, Russia announced plans to extend the 500,000 barrels a day cuts for 6 more months to the end of 2023.
  • On Apr. 2, 2023, OPEC+ nations announced that they will cut their oil production by 1.15 million barrels a day starting on May 1, 2023, and ending at the end of 2023.

Russia cutting 500,000 barrels a day, and OPEC+ cutting 1.15 million barrels a day means there will be 1.65 million fewer barrels a day for the remainder of 2023.

The price of gas has already started increasing, and the price of producing food, delivering products to stores, etc., will soon start up again.

According to the report, Biden and some Democrats are displeased, but they are the ones that are deliberately hindering oil production in the U.S.

And to make matters worse, Biden sold oil from America’s strategic oil reserves, he has not replaced it, and our reserves are lower than they have been in about 35 years.

Eight, concerning the decline of America, hyperinflation, and the coming economic collapse: on Apr. 3, 2023, it was reported that America’s economic slowdown, consistently high record-breaking inflation, and slowing production are depleting America’s Social Security reserves faster than expected.

Unless something is done to change course, the system will run out of funds in 2034.

Citizens have seen warnings like this before (and the system has always been bailed out), but it is an admission that America is experiencing record-breaking inflation, people are losing their jobs, and less money is going into the system.

Nine, concerning the decline of America, hyperinflation, and the coming economic collapse: the number of nations that have stopped using dollars for buying or selling oil is growing.

Saudi Arabia and Iran will now accept other currencies, Russia and China have agreed to accept each other’s currency, China and Brazil have agreed to stop using dollars, and the ASEAN nations (10 nations in Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) have announced that they may stop using dollars.

This is happening because Biden has angered several foreign leaders, they think he is weak, they are turning against him, and they are concerned that his spending is threatening the value of the dollar.

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
