End-times Enlightenment
The prophet Daniel would have been amazed at what we see happening all around us today. His question must have burned in the deepest part of his spirit while he appealed to the messenger who had just spoken about the end of all things:
“And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? (Daniel 12:7-8).
Daniel, after being given so much to take in from the messenger-angel from Heaven, must have been bursting with desire to know the outcome of humanity’s plight. He must have been especially wanting to know the details of what would become of his own people, Israel. The angel was permitted only to say the following in answer to the great old prophet’s question:
“Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:9-10).
I believe this generation is in the time the angel was speaking of in telling Daniel that the “wise shall understand.” We who “watch,” according to Jesus’ commandment (Mark 13: 37), are literally deluged with signal after signal of the lateness of the prophetic hour. We continually present from the hourly news accounts all of the signs Jesus told us to watch for.
We certainly can identify those the angel spoke about with the words, “the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand.” That group is easily identifiable just within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) meetings last week. And we can also be identified today with the angel’s words, “but the wise shall understand.”
The following explanation, I hope, will make the distinction between the wicked and the wise crystal clear and will help determine whether we are the generation the angel said will be here when that end-times book is opened.
This past week, I was told that my friend Tom Cote (“Watchman River Tom”), a first-rate biblical prophecy observer, had what he called one of the best moments of his life. He said that many fellow prophecy watchers who read these columns and view podcasts were apparently experiencing the same amazing thing. He said he saw you in action on the UN’s live video feed on YouTube.
That forum has almost three million subscribers. Tom reported that the video of the SDG summit had a lot of red lights. Then, something happened in the accompanying chat that amazed. Tom reported that it was, to his way of thinking, like a live wall of Jesus that manifested. It was incredible, he said.
The live chat was full of born-again believers—the Body of Christ. Tom said he was watching 2 Thessalonians 2:7–8—“He who now restrains”—in action: He felt as if he were watching the Restrainer restrain.
He reported that the comments were “Jesus is King”; “We love Jesus”; “When they say peace and safety sudden destruction comes”; and “Jesus has won the victory.”
It was—of all things—a sea of “Jesus” comments on a forum designed for the New World Order minions! He said that about 98 percent of the comments were about Jesus. He reported that occasionally someone obviously a part of the UN Great Reset agglomeration would come on and say things like, “What is going on here?” Again, Tom says it was an incredible moment.
There was confusion among the Ephesians 6:12 minions (my comment, not his).
There are indeed incredible things happening—both in regard to the stage being set for prophecy to be fulfilled and amongst those who yearn for our Lord’s call in the Rapture.
I believe with all within my spirit that those who truly are watching, according to Mark 13:37, Luke 21:28, Titus 2:13, and other scriptural instructions, can see more clearly how near we are to that call. Each moment-by-moment unveiling of the issues and events speaks into our spiritual hearts: “Your Redeemer is drawing near.”
It is more than obvious that those who “watch” are receiving end-times enlightenment. The Holy Spirit is, I believe, giving the heavenly heads-up that Jesus is about to step out on the clouds of glory and say, as He said to John, “Come up here!” (Revelation 4:1).
You don’t want to miss that thrilling command by the Lord of all Creation, who died as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world to save us from the sin into which we were born so that you and I could live eternally in the presence of God.
Here is how to go to the Savior when He calls in that great event we know as the Rapture:
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

Has Satan Begun His Plan for Human Extinction?
Did you know that the globalists’ depopulation agenda points to another end-of-days prophecy?
Jesus made this startling prediction in Matthew 24:21-22:
“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.“
Although Jesus is referring to His return at the end of the Tribulation, talk of drastically reducing the earth’s population among today’s powerbrokers signals that Jesus’ prophecy is already in play. Globalists such as Bill Gates and many others have long advocated for a significant decrease in the world’s population.
Yuval Noah Harari is perhaps the most influential of all those signaling a significant reduction in the number of people on earth. Harari is the righthand man of Klaus Schwab and thereby has immense influence over the leaders of the world. His books sell by the millions, and he’s the favorite author of many powerful people.
Harari often refers to the majority of the world’s inhabitants as “useless eaters.” During a book tour in 2022, he said this about us, “We just don’t need the vast majority of you.” The same report revealed his arrogant attitude:
Harari says the common folk below him are right to be fearful about the future because their lives could end at any moment. And it would not be any great loss, he says, because non-globalists are “redundant.”
The above quote is just one of several precursors we already see to the fulfillment of the Lord’s words in Matthew 24:21-22:
- The woke advocacy of abortion and the LGBQT+ agenda is primarily about reducing the number of people on the earth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) numbers in 2021, seventy-three million abortions take place worldwide each and every year. Wokeism, at its heart, is about reducing the number of people on our planet by murdering children in the womb, preventing future population growth through transgenderism among the young (which is destroying the lives of so many), and eroding the biblical foundation of marriage.
- The COVID injections and boosters are reducing the population of many countries. On May 25, 2023, a top insurance analyst in the US, Josh Stirling, reported his findings from the UK to U.S. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Below is an excerpt from what he shared:
Those vaccinated against COVID-19 have a 26 percent higher mortality rate on average compared to those who declined the jab – and the death toll is even more staggering for vaccinated people under 50 years old, where mortality is 49 percent higher than for those unvaccinated.
This same article cited Stirling as concluding, “If you were to take these numbers and apply them to the United States, that ends up being something like 600,000 excess deaths per year.” Based on all my research, I believe his estimate is accurate and will increase in the coming years.
- The end result of the global initiatives to combat “climate change” will result in the deaths of a great many people if the elite succeed in implementing their “green agenda.”
“Net zero” is the rallying cry of the greens, who seek to drastically reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by all vehicles fueled by gas and diesel fuel. A climate activist website describes the agenda as follows:
It is international scientific consensus that, in order to prevent the worst climate damages, global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero around 2050. Global warming is proportional to cumulative CO2 emissions, which means that the planet will keep heating for as long as global emissions remain more than zero. This implies that climate damages, caused by global heating, will continue escalating for as long as emissions continue.
Although the above may sound benevolent, the “net zero” policy would wipe out farming as we know it and cause the deaths of all those who depend on it. I’m convinced that such action would put the death toll at hundreds of millions in just North America.
Dr. Patrick Moore, Greenpeace Co-Founder, made this statement about the program as recorded on X (formerly Twitter), “Net Zero Would Kill at Least 50% of the Population.” I believe his estimate is far too conservative.
- Wars will be a factor in reducing the world’s population. Though the worst of these wars will happen during the future deadly seal judgments of Revelation 6:1-8, we already see the world heading in this direction.
Almost every week, I read of a Russian government official warning that America’s support of Ukraine will someday lead to a deadly attack on the U.S. China seems ever so ready to attack Taiwan, which will also lead to a major war with America. I believe that the Lord is holding back these things until after the Rapture, which will mark the beginning of the Day of Lord and the outpouring of His wrath upon the world.
Satan is behind the push to reduce the population of the world, and his ultimate goal is to eliminate humanity. That, he believes, will stop Jesus from ruling over the nations and restoring a glorious kingdom to Israel.
However, he’s deceiving his minions, who believe they will rule over the earth. When the antichrist appears, he will not share his power with these elite who now dream of world domination.
There’s good news in the words of the Lord in Matthew 24:21-22. The devil most assuredly will fail at his attempt to wipe out mankind and the Jewish race.
Someday, Jesus will reign over the nations of the world for a thousand years, and we will reign with Him in glorified immortal bodies. Before that, He will silence the voices of super-arrogant people such as Yuval Harari.
What we see in our world will alarm us in the days to come, but we know that the doom of our enemy is sure, and Jesus is coming for us soon!
