It is no longer unusual to hear someone say, “Things do not make sense anymore.”
- “Why would anyone think defunding the police is a good thing?”
- “Why is our government paying for abortions in other countries when we are broke?”
- “Why doesn’t our government close our border with Mexico when they know that enemies from China, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. are crossing it?”
- “Why is our government even thinking about surrendering the sovereignty of the U.S. to the WHO during a possible fake health crisis?”
- “Why, why, why?”
Consider these 4 articles that made news on the same day (Mar. 20, 2024).
- 19 Democratic Senators sent a letter to Pres. Biden, urging him to outline a path for the U.S. to unilaterally acknowledge the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian state governed by a reformed Palestinian Authority. (Why would these Senators do this when the Bible says God will drag the nations into the Battle of Armageddon for dividing the land of Israel.)
- It was reported that Iran has assumed the presidency of the UN Conference on Disarmament. (Why would the UN do this when they know Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons program; Iran has threatened to destroy the U.S. and Israel; Iran helps finance Hamas, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist groups; Iran is selling weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine, etc.?)
- It was reported that a recent poll found that 62% of the Jews in America have a favorable opinion of Pres. Biden. (Why do Jews favor Pres. Biden when he is trying to make Israel lose its war with Hamas; trying to undermine the Netanyahu government; trying to divide the Promised Land; sending billions of dollars to Iran when part of it goes to Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.?)
- Jonathan S. Tobin (editor-in-chief of Jewish News Syndicate) wrote, “The idea that letting Hamas off the hook will ease the plight of American Jews being targeted by left-wing Jew-haters is as illogical as it is shameful” (because there always has been and always will be Jew-haters in the U.S. and everywhere else on earth, and going soft on Hamas won’t silence them; it will just encourage them).
Most people do not know God, they do not believe the Bible is the Word of God, their judgment is unbiblical, and much of what they do is illogical and shameful.
Here are some recent articles that seem to indicate that we are close to the end of the age.
(More: On Mar. 25, 2024, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas until the end of Ramadan and calling for the release of all hostages. The U.S. could have vetoed the resolution, but it abstained. Netanyahu sees this as a shift in U.S. policy, he sees it as a vote that will hurt Israel, and he immediately canceled the visitation of a high-level delegation from Israel to the White House. He objected to the fact that the resolution “demanded” a ceasefire, but it only “called” for – requested but did not demand – for the hostages to be released. It would “require” Israel to act and “request” Hamas to act.)
(More: Concerning the U.S. abstaining on the ceasefire resolution, expert Bible prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said, “I am neither surprised nor disappointed! My Bible has always shown me that no one will stand in support of Israel as we get closer to the Ezekiel War. I am more concerned for my American friends than I am for the Israeli government or military.”)
(More: Before the day was over, Hamas said it was sticking to its demand for a permanent ceasefire, not a pause until the end of Ramadan. Israel had a delegation in Qatar to discuss a ceasefire, but Israel ordered its delegation to return home when Hamas said it was sticking to its demand for a permanent ceasefire.)
One, concerning the ashes of a red heifer: on Mar. 21, 2024, Prophecy News Watch posted an article with a video that appeared on CBS News that says a massive altar for the sacrifice of the tenth red heifer has already been constructed in Israel.
The original article was written by Michael Snyder (End of the American Dream).
Here is a link to the article and video (about 2 min into a 5 min video).

(FYI: Glen Beck discusses the ashes of a red heifer in a 16-min video at this link: https://www.iheart.com/content/glenn-beck-blog-how-israels-red-heifer-prophecy-explains-whats-happening-right-now/.)
Two, concerning tracking all buying and selling: on Mar. 21, 2024, the Expose reported that:
- The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has announced plans to roll out “digital IDs” worldwide by the year 2030, and a digital ID will be mandatory for people who wish to participate in society.
- The push for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) which includes “Digital IDs,” vaccine passports and central bank digital currencies (CBDC) – is being championed by the globalist WEF and unsurprisingly is backed by Bill Gates along with the UN, and the European Union (EU).
- The Sociable editor Tim Hinchliffe says, “If successful, DPI will give governments and corporations the power to implement systems of social credit that can determine where and how you can travel, what you are allowed to consume, and how you will be able to transact with your programmable money.
Here is a link to the entire article:
Three, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Mar. 13, 2024, J.P. Morgan, the largest bank in the U.S. and one of the largest banks in the world, is already conducting pilot projects, and it is preparing to launch biometric payments in 2025.
According to the report, “The ultimate goal is to expand authentication based on individuals’ fingerprints, palms, and faces to anyone interested, but with a focus on stores, restaurants, and various event venues.”
A bank official said the biometric payments industry “expects to grow to 3 billion users and $5.8 trillion worth of transactions over the next two years.”
Four, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Mar. 25, 2024, it was reported that a regional CEO of a global payment company in Taiwan said he expects people to soon pay for goods and services at the point of sale (at stores, restaurants, etc.) through facial recognition, fingerprints, eyes cans, or hand scans.
He pointed out that people are using fingerprints on smartphones and that there have been several surveys that show that people prefer to use fingerprints instead of PIN codes.
(My opinion: The Mark of the Beast is coming, and the Rapture is at least 3 ½ years – and perhaps more – before the Mark of the Beast is imposed.)
Five, concerning deceit and a population reduction, on Mar. 21, 2024, to settle a lawsuit, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration agreed to stop opposing the use of Ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19.
One doctor said, “The FDA interfered in the practice of medicine with their irresponsible language and posts about ivermectin. We will never know how many lives were affected because patients were denied access to a lifesaving treatment.”
(My opinion: If the WHO gets global control of everyone’s healthcare in late May 2024 under a global Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations, the denial of lifesaving treatment and population reduction practices will go into effect in a matter of weeks or months.)
Six, concerning the days of Lot and the decline of America at the end of the age: on Mar. 18, 2024, the governor of Washington signed a bill that requires public schools to “adopt inclusive curricula and select diverse, equitable, inclusive, age-appropriate instructional materials” that teach about “the histories, contributions, and perspectives” of “LGBTQ people.”
Seven, concerning days of Lot, reprobate minds, insanity, etc. at the end of the age: on Mar. 15, 2024, a transgender dart player competed as a man at the Dutch Professional Darts Corporation Challenge (PDC) Tour and won the men’s title.
Then, on Mar. 23, 2024, he/she competed as a woman and won the women’s title.
(My opinion: There is something wrong when supposedly intelligent people cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman.)
(Question: How can a man become a woman in less than two weeks? My answer: It can only happen in a perverted mind or if deceit is involved.)
Eight, concerning the decline of America at the end of the age: on Mar. 24, 2024, the U.S. Border Patrol Chief said the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have evaded capture and made it into the U.S. homeland keep him up at night, and the situation is a “national security threat.”
Nine, concerning an economic collapse and the decline of America: on Mar. 20, 2024, the Congressional Budget Office released a report on America’s new spending bill.
According to the report,
- That mounting debt will slow economic growth.
- Deplete the Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance trust fund by 2033, the Medicare Hospital Insurance trust fund by 2035, and the Highway Trust Fund by 2028.
- Require America to spend more on interest on its debt than it spends on defense or Medicare.
According to one commentator, the $1.2 trillion government funding bill includes funding for abortion facilities, as well as LGBTQ activist centers that provide transgender injections, who targets minors, who holds drag shows, and helps illegal immigrants who identify as gay or transgender gain U.S. citizenship.
(My opinion: With Social Security, Medicare, and the Highway Fund going broke, interest rates rising, our military hurting for money, etc., spending money on abortions, transgender surgeries, drag shows, and the like reveals unsound thinking in Washington, DC.)
(FYI: This new spending bill was approved by the U.S. Senate on Mar. 23, 2024.)
(More: 11 days before the Senate approved the $1.2 trillion spending bill, the U.S. treasury said the U.S. collected $271 billion in taxes and spent $567 billion. Our government spent more than twice as much as it collected and then voted to spend money on abortions, transgender surgeries, drag shows, etc.)
Ten, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age:
- On Mar. 22, 2024, a Russian spokesperson said we (Russia) are in a state of war with Ukraine and the collective West (U.S., EU, etc.)
- On Mar. 22, 2024, a top-ranking U.S. Navy officer warned that China may invade Taiwan in three years or sooner.
(More: On Mar. 23, 2024, Poland, a member of NATO, scrambled jets when a Russian missile briefly strayed into Polish territory. An attack on one NATO member will be considered as an attack on all NATO members. This is one reason NATO members should pay their dues.)
(My opinion: These wars may or may not happen, but Russia and others will attack Israel in the Battle of Gog and Magog, perhaps before the Tribulation Period; and the Kings of the East – China and others – will invade the Middle East in the last half of the Tribulation Period.)
Here is my update on the Israel-Hamas war.
Wednesday, Mar. 20, 2024 (Day 166): The one hundred-eleventh day of the resumed war.
- The Houthis claimed they fired a cruise missile that landed in Israel. There was no damage or injuries. Israel is trying to determine why its Iron Dome didn’t shoot it down.
Thursday, Mar. 21, 2024 (Day 167): The one hundred-twelfth day of the resumed war.
- After 4 days of fighting at the Al-Shifa hospital compound, Israel has killed approximately 140 terrorists and captured 650 suspects, including several high-ranking commanders. Israel estimates that about 50 terrorists are still holed up there, including several major leaders.
- A senior Israeli official said Israel intends to take control of Rafah even if it causes a rift with the U.S.
Friday, Mar. 22, 2024 (Day 168): The one hundred-thirteenth day of the resumed war.
- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution supporting an immediate and sustained ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
- Netanyahu notified U.S. Sec. of State Blinken that Israel will attack Rafah with or without U.S. support.
Saturday, Mar. 23, 2024 (Day 169): The one hundred-fourteenth day of the resumed war.
- A Houthi missile struck a Chinese oil tanker in the Red Sea. The ship issued a distress call but did not request assistance. No casualties were reported.
- Israel said it will continue its attack on the Al-Shifa hospital compound until every terrorist is taken dead or alive.
- Israel’s Foreign Min. said UN Sec. Gen. Guterres has transformed the UN into an anti-Israel organization.
Sunday, Mar. 24, 2024 (Day 170): The one hundred-fifteenth day of the resumed war.
- Amid growing tension between Israel and the U.S., Israel’s Defense Min. headed to the U.S. to discuss the war with Hamas, efforts undertaken to return the hostages, humanitarian aid, and measures required to ensure regional stability.
- Hezbollah launched 50 missiles into northern Israel. The Iron Dome shot most of them down. Most of the missiles that were not shot down fell into open space.
- Israel offered to release 700-800 jailed terrorists for the release of 40 captives in Gaza.
- Netanyahu said, “We eliminated Haman; we will eliminate Sinwar as well.”
- Vice-Pres. Harris said the U.S. has not ruled out consequences for Israel if the IDF attacks Hamas in Rafah.
Monday, Mar. 25, 2024 (Day 171): The one hundred-sixteenth day of the resumed war.
- Hamas is shocked by Israel’s success against the terrorists (170 killed and about 500 suspects captured to date) at the Al-Shifa hospital compound. Israel captured many weapons. Some were found inside medical equipment, and some were found in the ceiling of rooms at the hospital.
Tuesday, Mar. 26, 2024 (Day 172): The one hundred-seventeenth day of the resumed war.
- Israel’s Pres. Herzog said Israel has no choice. Israel must get Yehya Sinwar dead or alive so it can get the hostages back home.
- Israel refused to accept Hamas’ delusional conditions for a ceasefire.
- Jordan arrested dozens of people who were rioting in support of Hamas.
- A woman that said she was raped by Israeli soldiers when they invaded the Al-Shifa hospital admitted that she fabricated the story to stir anger and criticism of Israel (and it worked because her lie went viral in the media).
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
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.
