PROPHETIC STORM CLOUDS GATHERING

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

All roads lead to Rome? On Sept. 13, Pope Francis said to a group of young people in Singapore (2nd link, 5th paragraph of his speech): “All religions are paths to God…. There is only one God, and religions are like languages, paths to reach God. Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian.” He’s leading people to the false one-world religion of the Tribulation.

Francis-appointed Synod adviser appears to defend homosexual ‘desire’ in Vatican newspaper. Fr. Timothy Radcliffe, whom Pope Francis named a spiritual assistant for October’s Synod on Synodality, claims homosexuals “rightly desire to express their affection.”

Secular world is cheering for arrival of ‘man of lawlessness.’ Olympics opening and closing ceremonies took inclusion and DEI to new levels: a prayer to Zeus, golden calf featured, fallen angels celebrated, drag queens mocked the Last Supper, demons seemed to be center stage, Jesus mocked and portrayed by a lesbian. Scene after scene reflected blasphemy and debauchery—with a small child observing it all.

Hatred of Israel by the Deceived and the Deceiving

FBI data indicates anti-Jewish ‘hate crimes’ increased by 63% in 2023 compared to 2022.

On Sept 18, UN General Assembly voted to hand over half of Jerusalem to what it calls “State of Palestine.” This includes Old Jerusalem, built by King David, which contains the Wailing Wall, the Temple Mount, and what is believed to be the tomb of Christ.

UNRWA demands immunity from prosecution for employees implicated in October 7 massacre. At least 12 UNRWA employees participated in the massacre. The Biden-Harris regime sides with the UN.

Emmanuel Macron hurled harsh accusations at Netanyahu over escalation with Hezbollah. France voted in favor of a UN resolution proposed by the ‘Palestinian’ Authority to impose sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel. He accused Netanyahu of leading Israel and Lebanon to full-scale war. Netanyahu rightfully replied: “Instead of putting the pressure on us, it’s about time you pressured Hezbollah.”

Pervasive Perversion and the Abortion Abomination

AOC’s ‘red light’ district overrun with prostitutes as locals call out MIA ‘Squad’ member. In Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, scantily dressed migrant prostitutes line blocks of a long commercial strip all hours of the day and night, brazenly soliciting sex to passersby while their pimps strike fear into local business owners, one of whom said he’s been threatened for speaking out and is on the verge of closing his store.

The Abortion Abomination

Pro-life campaign ads show graphic images and strong words. “Democrats promote murdering babies by abortion, mutilating children’s genitals to change their sex, corrupting their innocence with Planned Parenthood’s perversion. Democrat policy toward children is violent, abusive, Satanic.”

Notre Dame president’s inauguration celebration includes former Planned Parenthood executive. A former Planned Parenthood executive who now heads a United Nations “corporate sustainability initiative” was featured in the festivities surrounding inauguration of the University’s new president.

Scotland jumps on bandwagon, banning prayer outside abortion clinics. Safe Access Zones Act creates buffer zones around clinics to keep anyone from influencing women’s decisions to abort their babies.

Iniquity Shall Abound

Alabama bar mass shooting that killed four, injured 17 others likely targeted ‘hit’ job on one of the victims. The manhunt for the shooters continues.

Last Days Traitors and Their Treachery

New York City Mayor Eric Adams surrenders to authorities to face corruption charges for taking bribes and campaign contributions from foreigners.

Congress probing FCC’s quick approval of radio stations to Soros group. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee opened an inquiry into the expedited approval of a deal that would give Democrat megadonor Soros a large stake in over 200 U.S. radio stations, alleging the body was in an effort to “interfere in the 2024 election and politicize” a body that’s supposed to be independent.

Communist takeover: War on families and children. In a 1984 interview, KGB informant and later defector Yuri Bezmenov explained the four stages of a communist takeover of a country. Roger Starbuck, who made the documentary ‘The War on Children,’ believes the USA is in the final stage.

The Marxist/Socialist/Communist Demo-crat Party won’t stop their hellish hints to the deranged to try to kill Trump. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo calls to ‘extinguish’ Trump ‘for good’ after assassination attempts. “This language is absolutely coordinated and planned!”

Macron calls for new European Order. French President Emmanuel Macron called for a “new international order” during his speech at the International Meeting for Peace this week.

UN just adopted “pact for the future” lays foundation for new “global order.” Mainstream media in the Western world almost entirely ignored it. The long document is online, many of the most important provisions buried toward the end. Our leaders just committed us to an insidious global agenda that covers just about every area of human activity. Sept. 22nd, 2024, is a day that will go down in infamy.

Governments and shadowy organizations secretly collaborate to silence dissent. This international collaboration is spearheaded by the Biden-Harris regime and UK’s Counter Disinformation Unit – which leads UK’s government’s response to “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

Deliberate Border Disorder and the Consequences

13 thousand illegal-alien murderers free in u.s.; almost 650 thousand criminals total, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Ex-WSJ journalist uncovers alleged migrant labor trafficking network in Springfield, Ohio, etc. Her report could change discussion from Haitians and other migrants eating a lot of local wildlife (and supposedly pets) to a “hidden human labor trafficking network” there that’s possibly also surfaced in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. A resident revealed the network of vans in a town 50% Haitian. They’ve been shuttling migrants back and forth to several food packaging plants about every week since 2019. Also see Colorado meat factory accused of ‘trafficking’ Haitian migrants.

Open borders France: citizens denied aid as Islamic ‘migrants’ exploit welfare for conquest and profit.
Support for needy citizens has been hijacked, turning France into a welfare state for illegals and Islamic conquerors who weaken France from within and openly boast about exploiting the French.

Erasing Dutch identity: government’s quiet plan for population replacement. The Netherlands is being systematically dismantled under the guise of humanitarianism. The nation is now an overcrowded asylum for migrants, enforcing a covert agenda of population replacement that threatens to erase Dutch identity, culture, and security—while its citizens are forced to foot the bill for their extinction.

‘Stop the invasion’: Spain’s Vox Party calls for mass deportations and war on Islamic terror. Jorge Buxadé delivered a plan aimed at ending “Islamist terror of false refugees,” calling for strict immigration controls, mass deportations, and overhaul of Europe’s immigration policies to protect the continent’s survival.

Deliberate Pitting of Nation (Ethnic) Against Nation (Ethnic)

Walz education appointee, Lozenski, calls for overthrow of US government. Democrats try to pass Tim Walz off as a small-town moderate, but he’s a hard-core left-winger. Walz knew what he was getting when he put Lozenski in charge of overhauling Minnesota’s K-12 education (Ethnic Studies). In May 2022, Lozenski posted a video on YouTube explaining what critical race theory means and calls for the overthrow of the government of the United States.

Air Force’s ‘goal’ to reduce ‘white male population’ joining officer ranks. “The American people are rightly concerned that, at a time when our country is facing dangerous and increasing threats throughout the world, the Air Force is focused on recruitment efforts based on arbitrary racial diversity goals—not merit or increasing the force’s lethality.”

Three Bad Isms: Marxism/Socialism/Communism

Cuba’s water crisis: over a million affected as infrastructure collapses. Causes are varied that plunged Cuba into a constant cycle of scarcity. The Cuban regime has left its people in misery.

Depopulation Agenda

Award-winning director Pedro Almodóvar calls for legal euthanasia worldwide. He won the Venice film festival’s top prize for his pro-euthanasia film The Room Next Door.

Re-visiting Deagel 2025 population forecast: accidental warning? In 2014, the military and advanced technology company Deagel predicted what the population would be in 2017 and 2025. It showed frightening statistics for Western nations predicted for 2025. UK’s population would tank from 63,390,000 in 2017 to 14,517,860 in 2025, a 77% drop. The US would lose 68.5% of its population, and other Western nations showed a huge population slump. What apocalyptic event could reduce populations by a huge amount in a short time if it happens as predicted?

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

The ‘chemical war’ killing 70,000 Americans each year. Over 100,000 Americans died of an overdose last year, of which over 70,000 overdosed on synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.

Economic and Food Insecurity

Fake meat company receives $1.48 million from Pentagon. The grant comes a month after the Pentagon announced it would no longer explore feeding troops “lab-grown meat” following backlash. The Dept of Defense claims the money isn’t being used to develop fake meat, but the grant funds a facility that creates the same ingredient used to make lab-grown ‘meat.’

Weather Events

Hurricane Helene has left at least 42 dead [update 52] across the Southeast US. Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in Florida’s Big Bend region Thursday night. It’s now weakened to a tropical depression and is moving north across the Southeast, bringing strong winds and heavy rain, considered “life-threatening” conditions. Over 4 million are without power across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia amid fears that outages could last weeks.

Central Europe has been ravaged by floods, brought on by Storm Boris, that have caused billions of dollars of damage and killed at least 24 people.

Level 5 emergency alert issued after devastating floods hit Japan’s Ishikawa Prefecture. The region suffered torrential rains from Sept. 20-21. One person was killed; over 10 are missing.

Widespread floods have claimed over 1,000 lives; 4 million affected in West and Central Africa since July. This has resulted in widespread damage to homes, schools, medical facilities, swaths of farmland, and heightening the risk of water-borne diseases, food insecurity, and malnutrition. Dead crocodiles and snakes have been recorded floating alongside human bodies in certain regions.

Floods from severe storms in Morocco’s Tata Province claimed 2 lives and left 14 missing.

Amazon River basin: worst drought on record. Several riverbeds, once waterways, are now drying up.

Wildfires

Firefighter in Coma After Truck Crash Injured 7 Others on California Highway. The firefighters were returning from assisting with the Airport Fire, which started Sept. 9 and has yet to be 100% contained. The fire was sparked by a county public works crew using heavy equipment.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Will they start World War 3? Last week, a Ukrainian drone hit a nuclear facility in Russia, prompting a massive explosion. Another site was struck that housed North Korean missiles supplied to Putin. Ukraine wants permission to use long-range missiles provided by us to strike targets all over Russia, which would cross red lines Russia has established. Iran-backed Hezbollah launched rockets across a wider, deeper area of northern Israel, pointing to civilian areas; Nazareth was hit the hardest. Israeli aircraft hit hundreds of militant sites, thwarting a larger attack by Hezbollah. Lebanon was hit with a massive bomb. Events have pushed both sides to the brink of a precipice, and it appears the world will soon be changed in an apocalyptic war.

Russia updated its nuclear doctrine this week in an attempt to modernize its defense strategy in response to Western military and political actions. Under the new policy, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if it is attacked by a massive airstrike via drones, missiles, aircraft, etc., and it believes its sovereignty is threatened.

Pro-Putin channel simulates massive nuclear strike on London that ‘instantly vaporizes’ 850,000 people
and injures around two million others.

Hezbollah chiefs killed in Sept. 20 IDF airstrike were plotting Oct. 7-like invasion of northern Israel.

Hezbollah battle plan to conquer Israel revealed. Imad Mughniyeh, architect of the plan, determined that in the next war, Hezbollah would invade, capture territories, and take hostages in the Galilee (North Israel). This is the major attack planned against Israel that IDF is currently destroying in Lebanon. Hezbollah has thousands more forces trained and prepared to attack Israel, stationed in Syria and Iraq.

Biden and Macron team up against Israel, Netanyahu rebuffs, ground forces prepare. Today’s ceasefire rumors are more than just rumors – they are part of a concerted effort by the US and French governments to undermine Israel’s ability to defeat its enemies.

All-out war in the Middle East seems all but inevitable as Israeli forces gear up to cross the border. Western allies scrambled to broker a temporary ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, branding the escalation of violence “intolerable.” But Israeli Foreign Minister Katz rejected proposals for a ceasefire. He said: “There will be no ceasefire in the north.”

IDF Chief of Staff Halevi said as the IDF strikes in Lebanon, troops prepare for a ground offensive. He told the troops, “You will go in, destroy the enemy there, and decisively destroy their infrastructure. These are the things that will allow us to safely return the residents of the north afterward.”

Israel’s Defense Minister says next stage in war requires public to remain calm and collected. “We’re deepening strikes in Lebanon… until we achieve our goals: returning residents of northern Israel safely.”

IDF spokesman: We’re preparing to strike in Beqaa, Lebanon. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Hagari emphasized that strikes in Beqaa would be widescale, and warned Lebanese citizens to leave areas in which Hezbollah weapons are embedded, which includes homes. Israel struck 1,600 Hezbollah targets on Monday; 492 killed and over 1,645 injured. Many of the strikes focused on homes where Hezbollah stored rockets, drones, and other weapons.

Hezbollah chief Nasrallah confirmed dead by IDF after massive Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Sheikh Nasrallah, top leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, was assassinated Friday in a massive Israeli air strike on Hezbollah’s underground headquarters.

Israel crossing our red lines, adviser to Iran’s supreme leader warns. Israel is crossing Tehran’s red lines, and the situation is becoming serious, he warned, after Israel attacked Iran-backed Hezbollah’s underground central headquarters in Beirut.

Large portions of Israel come under rocket fire as Hezbollah retaliates for strike on its leader Nasrallah.
Hours after the strike on Nasrallah, whose outcome was initially unclear, Hezbollah began firing rocket barrages at northern Israel. On Saturday, they sharply intensified their attacks. At the time of publication, no casualties or major damage had been reported as a result.

Netanyahu says Hezbollah’s Nasrallah was ‘central engine of Iran’s axis of evil.’  Netanyahu ordered the killing of Nasrallah because his elimination was essential to enabling the safe return of Israel’s northern residents. He says Israel has “settled the account” with a “mass murderer” responsible for killing countless Israelis and dozens of American and French citizens.

Isaiah 17 prophecy ramping up? Iranian-backed Shi’ite forces in Syria could play a weighty role in the war. There are unverified reports claiming Houthis have arrived in Syria over many months, dispatched to Damascus and southern Syria. The presence of Houthi operatives and tens of thousands of Iranian-backed combatants from other Shi’ite militias could signal a concrete threat in the form of a ground-specific or extensive invasion of Israel’s territory in the Golan Heights. If all-out war breaks out between Hezbollah and Israel, southern Syria in particular will constitute a central arena from which Shi’ite militia operatives will operate.

Strange Winds Blowing

Climate change fear-mongering continues to grow as the nucleus around which the coming false religious system will likely be established. That harlot system of Revelation 17 will ride astride the beast described by Daniel the prophet and John, who was given Revelation to write by the Holy Spirit.

Most of us who closely observe these times from the pre-Trib view of Bible prophecy understand that the climate-change mantra is a Mother Earth worship ruse used by Satan to inject fear into the world’s populations – thus to bring into existence a new world order that will eventuate in the Antichrist regime of absolute evil.

Jesus Himself forecasted the weather in His Olivet Discourse. He said the winds and waves will be roaring. This can include, I’m convinced, both the literal seas and waves as well as the seas of people. And certainly, both the literal and the figurative are in tumultuous upheaval as these end times unfold.

With regard to the literal, any review of weather news on any given day is full of great storms that are becoming more violent and wreaking havoc on a global basis. The figurative seas and waves—the wars and rumors of war, the ethnic conflicts—are just as violent and growing more so by the hour. This ramping up of violence includes the ethnic strife within supposedly the most civilized nations, such as our own. There are warnings from many quarters that such turmoil is destined to flair in dramatic fashion no matter which party’s presidential candidate is victorious in November.

All of the above is part of the Bible prophecy picture coming into focus as we watch for and anticipate the wrap-up of this Age of Grace (Church Age).

So the winds Jesus gave us a heads-up about, as far as what to look for as His Second Advent nears, are beginning to blow in hurricane fashion on the end-times horizon. And it is yet another sort of prophetic allusion to tumultuous winds that will blow in the last days that I hope to look at for now. This is a climate-change matter we can point to that is truly upon us as the time of Tribulation nears.

The Apostle Paul prophesied this particular type of climate change for the end of the age: spiritual climate change. It involves a prophecy I believe is taking place at this moment.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy 4:3).

Paul further related this end-of-the-age doctrinal tumult to a dangerous windstorm:

“So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes” (Ephesians 4:14).

It’s easy to see that we’re now in such an anti-biblical storm of anti-God assaults by strange winds that are blowing against the truth. The following gives credence to the tempest Paul warned of:

Brad Ruggles had already begun wrestling with his evangelical faith when he was called to launch a small church in a north Indianapolis suburb. As he pastored over his 200-member congregation, he found himself struggling with members’ resistance to issues of LGBTQ inclusion or questions raised by the murder of George Floyd.

Eventually, in 2021, he stepped down and away from his faith – but ultimately craved the brotherhood he’d enjoyed as part of a congregation. Then he found C3, an inclusive Sunday collective in West Michigan that had undergone its own transformation and now describes itself not as a church but a home for the spiritually homeless, dedicated to pondering existential questions and living out shared values…

“The post-religious organizational field is highly diverse and fluid,” said Christian Smith, a professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame who is writing a book about younger generations’ diminishing devotion to traditional religion.

The patchwork existence of such churches means these communities provide their own oversight; their adherence to no doctrine leaves teachings open to constant shift. For now, that’s how they like it. (“As Millions Leave Organized Religion, Spiritual and Secular Communities Offer Refuge,” Mark Ramirez, USA Today)

All of Christendom is under this heavy spiritual weather. Strange winds are blowing, particularly within the organization many prophecy watchers believe will be at the dark center of the Revelation chapter 17 whore of Babylon false religious system headed by the False Prophet of Revelation 13. That prophetic wind might be said to be coming from the voice of the man currently heading up that organization. The following is interesting in that regard:

Pope Francis told young people in Singapore that being “Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian” are just “different paths,” as “every religion is a way” to God…

Continuing, the Pope declared that each religion is a means to attain God, stating:

“Every religion is a way to arrive at God. There are different languages to arrive at God, but God is God for all. And how is God God for all? We are all sons and daughters of God. But my god is more important than your god, is that true?

“There is only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths.”

The Pope’s words were warmly welcomed by those present in the hall, which included leaders and representatives of Singapore’s many religious bodies and the large papal retinue. (“Pope Francis: ‘Every religion is a way to arrive at God,’ Michael Haynes, Snr Vatican correspondent – LifeSite)

To my way of discerning these times and considering the strange winds of doctrine blowing across the spiritual landscape at this late prophetic hour, what might happen next is always at the tip of my mind. Everything points to the beast state–Satan’s Antichrist system—rapidly advancing toward Daniel’s seventieth week–the Tribulation era. That goal of the Ephesians 6:12 cabal cannot take place until the church–all born-again believers—is removed from the planet and taken into the clouds of Glory.

This is why we urge believers to be Rapture Ready.

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you must be watching for Him, as described in Mark 13:3, 7; Luke 21:28; and Titus 2:13. Be aware of and beware of strange winds of doctrine–like that which denies the scriptural truth that Jesus will come for His Church before the Tribulation begins (Revelation 3:10).

If you are not a believer in Christ for salvation, your time to get ready for when He calls looks to be very short. Here is what the Bible says you must do in order to be saved from the wrath to come and go to the Lord when He calls believers:

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

What Will It Take?

The question that keeps coming to my mind this morning is this: What will it take? Most believers in America seem unaware of the many threats to their future wellbeing. Those apart from Christ have no idea of what’s coming.

What will it take to wake them up?

The normality bias in the U.S. is strong; even as an avid watcher for Jesus’ appearing, I feel it. It doesn’t take long, however, for the news of the day to rouse me to the fact the U.S. is living on borrowed time.

The myriad of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the Tribulation tells me that the Rapture is ever so near. What I see happening throughout the world tells me that God’s judgment has already begun.

The complacency of those outside of Christ is what I might expect, given the vast deception and gaslighting that floods the airwaves. Sadly, most believers also live in a similar state of unawareness concerning the perils that threaten their future wellbeing.

Consider the nominees of the Democratic Party for the highest offices in the land. How is it possible that they have such incompetent people at the head of their ticket with such vile records of wickedness and opposition to all that the Bible says is good and right? The support that they have garnered so far highlights the anti-biblical, and might I say anti-Jesus, worldview that’s now the norm in the U.S.

The political climate in America grows darker by the day. We have already witnessed two assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump, and according to a recent Rassmussen poll, 65% of likely voters believe we will see another attempt on his life. I just watched a segment on Telegram where the current Biden Commerce Secretary, Gina Raimondo, called for Trump to be “extinguished for good.” Why is the Biden administration inciting political violence, which has the potential to incite a civil war?

The massive debt level in the U.S., which some say is increasing by one trillion dollars every one hundred days, should by itself set off loud alarm bells. The economic devastation that’s coming will negatively impact nations all across the world.

With each passing day, the world moves closer to World War III. I’m not sure where I read this, but I wholeheartedly agree with it. Someone wrote that the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy, knows that he can’t prevail in his current war with Russia. His only hope is to goad Russia into attacking NATO, whom he thinks will defeat his foe. For the past several months, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his officials have warned of a nuclear response that will reach the shores of America. Putin made this point especially clear on September 25, 2024, when he announced a lower threshold for a nuclear response.

The Middle East is another flashpoint that could easily draw America into a deadly conflict. The Biden administration has sent one-third of the Navy to the region along with a total of 40,000 service members. A few days ago, they announced the sending of the 101st Airborne Division to the area. The “what ifs” of this military buildup stagger the imagination. Are these forces there to defend Israel, or is there another objective for their presence?

Each of these troubling realities aligns perfectly with what the Bible says the world will look like in the last days. They tell us that the conditions depicted in Revelation 6:1-8 are not farfetched, as some would have us believe, but soon will mark the beginning of the Lord’s wrath upon an unsuspecting world.

What happened at the UN this past week fits perfectly the prophecies concerning the beast kingdom that the Bible tells us will dominate the earth during the last days. With the world’s attention focused elsewhere, they greatly expanded the UN’s power to establish a one-world government by 2030 through the implementation of its seventeen “Sustainable Development Goals.” The digital future they set in motion is necessary for the antichrist to someday control all the buying and selling on the earth.

What will it take for people to wake up to the perils on their doorstep? For most, it will be the Rapture. When Jesus appears, all of the redeemed, with no exception, will return with Him to Heaven. Watchfulness is a matter of obedience, but we are all saved “by grace through faith” and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

For many church-goers, our disappearance will quickly alert them to their need to trust Jesus alone for their salvation. I believe this group will account for many of the great multitude of Tribulation saints that we read about in Revelation 7:9-12. Many who currently don’t believe in Jesus will awake to the reality that they need Him as they hear the Gospel proclaimed after our departure.

For the majority, however, this wake-up call will drive them further into their rebellion against the Lord. A great many people today fit with what the Apostle Paul describes in Romans 1:28-32 as possessing a “reprobate” or “debased” mind. They will refuse to repent despite all the judgments that the Lord will pour out on the earth during the Tribulation (see Revelation 9:20-21).

I have often written that apart from Jesus, I couldn’t even begin to cope with what I see happening in America. Yes, there are troubling realities in the picture that the Bible paints for the future of this world; we already see the beginning of these things. The Lord, however, calms our hearts with these two comforting truths:

  1. The signs of the approaching Tribulation shout with the message that God is sovereign and totally in control. Long, long ago, He said the world would look like this in the last days.
  2. The worsening conditions of our world point to the imminent appearing of our Savior, who will take us home to glory to the place He’s preparing for us. The Rapture must happen before the start of the coming day of wrath.

Maranatha!!
