The Environment Is Set on the Mark of the Beast

The Coronavirus pandemic has caused many students of prophecy to wonder if world governments’ efforts to combat the virus will involve the implementation of the Mark of the Beast. If they’re going to make all the citizens of earth line up to get a vaccine, it would be convenient timing to also dispense a microchip implant that will link them up to the 666 financial system.

Microsoft co-founder and billionaire “philanthropist” Bill Gates has legally separated himself from his old company, but both entities are engaged in a mission that could work together. Gates is champing at the bit to implement his long-awaited mandatory vaccination agenda. And what better catalyst for making it happen than the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis?

Microsoft has created a device that could add a tracking code to a mass vaccination. It interacts with the pulse, temperature and brain waves of the human body in order to engage in the buying and selling of cryptocurrency. The ID2020 implant would interact with a computer network system. Oddly enough the publication number of this Microsoft patent is #W02020060606. WO? Could that stand for World Order? WO/2020/06/06/06.

News about Gates and a potential vaccine for the novel coronavirus has been circulating for weeks on social media platforms. Gates got the ball rolling in mid March as he participated in a Reddit “AMA” (“Ask me anything”) Q&A, where he encouraged a “national tracking system” for the coronavirus and “some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or, when we have a vaccine, who has received it.”

Scientific American reported in December that Gates had been funding efforts to create an invisible ink that could go into people’s skin to see who has been vaccinated. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology bioengineer said the ink could provide data that is useful in fighting disease around the world, noting, “If we don’t have good data, it’s really difficult to eradicate disease.”

A review by Media Matters stated that the conspiracy theory first seemed to gain traction around March 17 when a YouTube video about the virus “mischaracterized” Gates’ work to develop trackable vaccine data as “implanting everybody with a global ID,” and compared it to tattoos on Holocaust victims.

Newsmax White House correspondent Emerald Robinson recently claimed that Gates wants to use “vaccines to track people,” while Fox News host Laura Ingraham—who has met with Trump to discuss the coronavirus—tweeted that Gates and other “globalists” want to use the crisis to track people. Gates’ name appeared on protest signs meant to criticize Ohio’s social distancing order, while former Trump adviser Roger Stone accused Gates of wanting to “microchip” people.

Pro-Trump personalities and regular Trump White House guests “Diamond and Silk” have also pushed conspiracy theories about Gates, tweeting that the Microsoft founder was operating on a secretive “agenda” to “rule the world with vaccines,” and vowing not to take any coronavirus vaccine that Gates was involved with.

None of these reports about Gates will ever be reported positively by the liberal media, so few people know about his agenda. Since you would have to have an understanding of Bible prophecy to know the dangers of a vaccine that could be tracked, most people would think of it as a good idea.

Much of our modern technology could become very hazardous to our liberties if it was used by a despotic government. Apple and Google are working together on a Coronavirus Tracking App. Smart phones already ‘automatically exchange their identifier beacons with each other. If someone tests positive for the Coronavirus, the app can send a message to all smartphones that came in contact with that person. Apple and Google say the app is ‘voluntary’ in the beginning; it will not be voluntary after they build it into the operating system software.

The mark of the beast is no longer something of the future. I think China’s social credit system is a working model of the Number of the Beast. By the time the Antichrist comes along to make it official, the world openly embraces its financial enslavement.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:16-18).

The Pandemic and the Protests

President Trump and others have said something to the effect that damage done by the coronavirus to society, culture, and the economy might be more horrific than the damage to health done by the disease in America and around the world. By this, I infer that the statement means that by completely shutting down society, culture, and business, the resultant damage will be far worse than if the COVID-19 pandemic was handled like other severe outbreaks of history. Those, for the most part, eventually killed many, but life went on pretty much as normal, and the diseases became much less virulent when the so-called herd immunity kicked in.

The herd immunity is, as I take it, when the point is reached in the spread of disease that human immune systems biologically learn to resist whatever strain of virus or bacteria is involved.

A growing, uncharted-in-America side-effect of the present epidemic crisis is the psychological stress suffered around the country. This nation has never been locked down to any extent, except in rare instances and isolated places. The closest the US has come to this sort of restrictiveness, enforced by government, was during the Civil War when President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and restricted other areas of life that run counter to the Bill of Rights.

At that time of the nation being at war with itself, it was argued that locking down civil and other liberties would lead to dictatorship. Many historians now agree that, had it been a president other than Lincoln, with his great, personal character at the time, the unthinkable would possibly have eventuated. We might now be living under dictatorship.

Governments, once they have been allowed powers to control, rarely relinquish that power when things return to normal. As Lord Edward Acton said, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Or. as one geopolitical figure of our time, Henry Kissinger, has said: “Political power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”

We can all, if we’re honest, attest to the veracity of those statements. We can, I believe, get a hint of the truth in those words by what is happening around the nation in some areas with regard to governors and their draconian steps during this “crisis.”

The Michigan governor, for example, has forbidden many things of normal life by shutting the facilities where people normally go for essential services. At the same time, she is keeping abortion clinics, bars, and even places to buy lottery tickets open, calling them “essential services.”

Protests are ramping up around her capitol, as American citizens are demonstrating against what they perceive as tyranny. Apparently, she is on a power trip, as Lord Acton or Dr. Kissinger would say.

The president has said that he feels these protests are in many cases justified. The nation must begin opening up. This shutdown to prevent the virus spread can’t go on without irreparable damage to the economy, thus, to the people of America.

Agreed. It is un-American. It is antithesis to the nation’s principles of freedom. The shutdown must be brought to an end. To do otherwise brings a genuine threat from ideologies that would bring Machiavellian controls that “the prince that shall come” will one day use in his Antichrist dictatorship.

I received the following excerpt of an article in the American Thinker. The thoughts expressed present a solid case for suggesting that all of us seriously consider what this crisis might mean in total context for future national life as we’ve known it.

When societies lose their freedom, it is not ordinarily because autocrats or tyrants have forcibly taken it away. It is usually the result of the population willingly surrendering their freedom in return for protection against an external threat.  While the threat is oftentimes real, it is invariably exaggerated.

This is what we in the United States are experiencing.  The general public has been stampeded by the fear mongering in the media into demanding action from the politicians at both the state and federal level. The politicians respond and do not pause to ask whether these actions will work—just do something! They do not ask if the financial and societal cost to the nation is worth the unknown and perhaps nebulous return.

In its 244-year history the United States has weathered seven of the worst pandemics in world history without the hysteria and loss of liberty and freedom.  All indications reveal that the Coronavirus will be exponentially less life-threatening than any of these previous pandemics.

Is the Coronavirus pandemic serious enough to warrant putting much of the nation’s population into house imprisonment, or wreaking the economy for an indefinite period of time, or prohibiting worshipers from attending their churches, synagogues or mosques, or outlawing freedom of assembly and travel, or destroying businesses that have taken years to build up, or saddling future generations with unfathomable debt? The nation is choosing to plunge millions of people into depression, heart attacks, suicide and unbelievable distress, though they are not especially vulnerable and will only suffer mild symptoms or none at all.

This is what a police state is like.  It is a nation in which the government can issue orders and edicts or convey preferences with no legal authority. Yet, it appears the majority of the American people are willing to sacrifice their freedoms and way of life in order to empower such a potential police state in the guise of conquering a pandemic. Governments never give up power once attained. They only seek to normalize it and now they have in their toolbox the knowledge that the citizenry will meekly acquiesce to any national emergency being declared an existential crisis which requires government to unconstitutionally impose its will on the people. (Steve McCann, “How a Police State Is Formed,” American Thinker, https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/04/how_a_police_state_is_born.html)

Such a police state—and much, much worse—is coming, according to God’s prophetic Word. However, we have the right to defend against (and especially to protest against) such tyranny before that time of Antichrist, a time that will be beyond our control.

Accepting Christ for salvation assures that one will not face that ultimate dictatorship.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

Setting the Stage for Global Government, Global Religion, and the Mark of the Beast

From Britt Gillette: “This pandemic is not the one prophesied for the Tribulation period, but it sets the stage for the near-term fulfillment of many end-times Bible prophecies. Politicians take advantage of times of turmoil, disaster, and fear to implement changes people otherwise wouldn’t accept.” Britt says this pandemic is a “wake-up call.”

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE

Novartis to sponsor large clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Novartis reached an agreement with the FDA to proceed with a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate use of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Trump says he will sign executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the US. Good! The President said it’s “in light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy,” COVID-19. He said it’s also due to the “need to protect jobs of our great American Citizens.” No doubt, the Deep State will oppose it.

New York issues do-not-resuscitate guideline for cardiac patients amid coronavirus. First-responders were outraged. “They’re not giving people a second chance to live anymore,’’ Oren Barzilay, head of the city union whose members include EMTs and paramedics, fumed.

CDC lab for coronavirus test kits may be contaminated. The Trump administration has reportedly ordered an investigation into a CDC lab in Atlanta that was in charge of assembling coronavirus test kits after a scientist with the FDA raised concerns that the lab itself may be “contaminated.”

Could this be true? Israeli Professor Debunks Government Claims Lockdowns Slow Coronavirus Infection. Professor Ben-Israel said, “The spread of the virus starts at an exponential rate; however, it continues to moderate and ultimately fades after 8 weeks or so.”

“China Study” Claims Coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different strains. The results claim medical officials have vastly underestimated the overall ability of the virus to mutate.

What Comes After Covid-19? “We elected members of Congress. If we aren’t satisfied with the job they’re doing on our behalf during this unprecedented crisis, it’s time to take notes and get ready… On November 3… The leaders we elect will determine if faith, family, and freedom remain the heartbeat of our nation.” [Don’t trust mail-in votes.]

FAMINE

First, good news: Publix will buy farmers’ excess food, donate it to food banks. With many commercial food distributors canceling contracts as Americans stay home, farmers have no one to buy their crops. Publix pledges to buy excess fresh produce and milk from farmers and donate the food to Feeding America. Publix has over 1,000 grocery locations in the southeast.

Coronavirus pandemic ‘will cause famine of biblical proportions.’ Governments must act now to stop 265 million starving, warns World Food Programme boss. Even before Covid-19, conflict and natural disaster put severe strain on food systems. East Africa has been hit by the worst locust swarms in decades. But Covid-19 has “taken us to uncharted territory,” Beasley said.

CIVIL UNREST

America On the Brink of Revolution? Anti-quarantine rallies sprouted up across the country over the weekend. But the one in Pennsylvania is especially stunning. While it is open for discussion if strict lockdowns were worth it, several things are evident, and why many are angry, is that the economy has crashed, 22 million jobs lost, businesses bankrupted, and a hunger crisis unfolding. Combined, a perfect storm of unrest could be nearing. Speaking of Pennsylvania: Wolf Administration is Caught Adding Up to 269 Fake Coronavirus Deaths to State Totals the Day After Anti-Lockdown Protests.

They’ve Gone Too Far. AG Barr Says the DOJ May Take Legal Action against States if Lockdowns Are Deemed Excessive. Some governors have gone to extremes in their lockdown demands.

Coronavirus lockdown sparks riots in Paris. Arab Muslims are accusing police of heavy-handedness in enforcing the lockdown. Protesters hurled fireworks, and police responded with tear gas and batons.

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL AKA HATRED OF GOD

Virulent Anti-Semitic Professor’s House Caught Fire on April 20, Hitler’s birthday; he died the next day, April 21, Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. Professor Clyde Magarelli taught sociology at William Paterson University in N.J. for 5 decades until he retired in 2018, where he spewed hatred of the Jewish people to indoctrinate students. He downplayed the Holocaust, claimed the “Gestapo was not a terrorist force for the majority of its existence” and claimed Judaism degenerated from a universal religion, with roots in ancient Egypt, to a racist religion.’

Israeli researchers say Coronavirus brings spike in anti-Semitic sentiments. “The language and imagery used clearly identifies a revival of the medieval ‘blood libels’ when Jews were accused of spreading disease, poisoning wells or controlling economies.”

ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND ITS IDEOLOGY OF CONQUEST

Muslim migrant doctor who worked at Mayo Clinic: “I want to kill and get killed. This is what even Mohammed wished.” Muhammed Masood was arrested at a Minnesota airport for providing material support to ISIS. He expressed a desire to execute ‘lone wolf attacks’ in the US, and had been living in the US for 2 years on an H-1B visa at the time of arrest. The Quran teaches that the only guarantee they have of paradise is to kill and be killed for Allah. Is that our God? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Our God came to Earth in the flesh to die for the sins of all who will believe in Him as their Savior (John 1:1-15).

Islamist group kills 52 in ‘cruel and diabolical’ Mozambique massacre.  Anti-Western/anti-Christian militants who want to establish an Islamic caliphate beheaded or shot those who refused to join.

Hamas operatives arrested for planning terror attacks in Jerusalem. Three Hamas operatives were planning to commit several terror attacks against security forces and Israelis.

Not only Socialism, but Sharia law and Islam are creeping in while we are all distracted with authoritarian Coronavirus lockdown orders. For the first time, the Muslim call to prayer was broadcast over an outdoor speaker placed over the rooftop of a mosque in Minnesota. The “adhan” will be broadcast five times a day throughout the month of Ramadan.

HOMEGROWN TERRORISM

Man Charged with Trying to Blow Up ‘Jewish’ Nursing Home in Massachusetts. Federal agents arrested John Michael Rathbun. Regarding insinuations that he may be a Christian white supremacist, true Christians have nothing in common with such people.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

In Denmark, Lutherans Publish New Bible Version That Omits The Word ‘Israel.’ In this new Lutheran Bible, references to “People of Israel” were replaced with “Jews,” while “land of Israel” became “land of Jews.” In other places, references to Israel were changed to all readers or all of humanity. In Psalms, “He who watches over ‘Israel’ will neither slumber nor sleep” has been replaced by ‘us.’ This is ‘replacement theology’ where Israel is replaced with the church. It’s a lie from the father of lies.

SilverDraft claims to be the power behind high-end supercomputing systems in the media industry and Hollywood, and actually says it’s powered by the Devil. Its logo shows two demonic-looking entities. One they call Devil – for fiendish work overflows – and one they call Demon – for wicked creativity.

NATURE WORSHIP

CBS Celebrates Earth Day by Declaring Human Beings Aren’t Needed. There was no mention that Earth Day’s radical leftist co-founder and master of ceremonies at the first celebration of Earth Day, Ira Einhorn, murdered and composted his girlfriend in a trunk in his closet. ABC, NBC, and other liberal-left lamestream stations remarked on how the air is cleaner and wildlife is taking over, but they didn’t go as far as CBS where a reporter boasted, “nature seems to be saying, ‘We can get along fine without you.’”

On Earth Day (April 22), pope says nature will not forgive our trespasses. The nature-worshiping Francis says we’ve sinned against the planet. He often speaks of “Mother Earth.” One of his theological advisors, Leonardo Boff, published an article in March saying diseases were Gaia’s “reprisal” against human beings. Just who is Gaia? From Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the earth; considered ancestral mother of all life; primal Mother Earth goddess; mother of Uranus (sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans and the Cyclopes (parents of many Olympian gods) and the Giants, and of Pontus (sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:22, 24-25).

ABORTION ABOMINATION

God Help Us: 41 Dem Senators Vote Against Protecting Already Born Babies from Being Legally Murdered. In a shocking move on Feb. 25, nearly every Democrat senator voted against requiring that medical care be provided to babies who survive abortions. All Republican senators voted to provide medical care, but only 3 Democrat senators did.

Abortionist Admits Killing Babies Up to Birth. When Dr. Curtis Boyd (who claims to be an ordained Baptist minister) and is currently being sued causing the death of a young woman, was asked several years ago how late he’s willing to do abortions, he replied, “There’s no set period.” “Am I killing? Yes, I am. I know that.”

Hollywood Sets April 30 Fundraiser to ‘Save Abortion.’ Hosted by Shout Your Abortion co-founder Amelia Bonow and Lizz Winstead, Daily Show co-creator. Winstead attributed her success to having abortions, and thanked God for abortionists. “As someone who’s had abortions, they allowed me to create a life for myself…to survive and thrive,” she said.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men [mankind] shall be lovers of their own selves… boasters, proud… Without natural affection… incontinent [without self-control], fierce… lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:1-7).

LAST DAYS RETURN TO DAYS OF LOT

Stow, Massachusetts, police chief relieved of duties amid investigation regarding an accusation that he’s a child predator. Predator Poachers Massachusetts poses as young boys online in order to catch child predators. The evidence is shown in a graphic video of police chief Ralph Marino’s remarks (goes by “Daddy Dearest”) in a chat room to whom he thought was a 14-year-old before going to meet up, where he was instead met by one of the predator catchers.

Another drag queen show. Shangela, Bob the Drag Queen and Eureka bring drag to small-town America in HBO’s ‘We’re Here.’ “We came in with big costumes on and wanted to draw attention…” O’Hara said. “We’re here to remind people to look at how progressive the world is and don’t forget it.”

The website Marie Claire is pointing out The 16 Best Lesbian TV Shows to Stream. The article says, “Thankfully for all of us, there’s a wide range of lesbian-led TV shows streaming for free right now… here’s what you should be watching to become an expert in contemporary lesbian TV canon.”

How the First Annual Lesbian Visibility Week Is Changing the Marketing Game. The article states, “Monday marked the start of the first annual Lesbian Visibility Week, an effort launched in the U.K. that aims for global participation… There’s something genuinely unique about Lesbian Visibility Week: the organizers managed to get corporate sponsors.”

LAST DAYS TRAITORS: A FUNGUS AMONG US

Behind the Deep State: Education Part 4: In this episode of Behind the Deep State, Alex Newman explains how the Deep State is using the Public School system to indoctrinate children to submit to their New World Order. From UN “sustainable development” agreements like Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, to UNESCO‘s takeover of education with the World Core Curriculum based on teachings of Luciferian Alice Bailey, the facts are clear. Protect your children now!

Harvard Law Prof Says Ban Homeschooling, Shield Children from Parents’ ‘Near-Total Authority.’ Elizabeth Bartholet, who runs the Child Advocacy Program there, says homeschooling poses “real dangers to children and society,” that many parents “look to the Bible” instead of science for understanding the world, and that homeschooling should be prohibited except in rare, unique cases. “The issue is, do we think parents should have 24/7, essentially authoritarian control over their children from ages zero to 18? I think that’s dangerous,” Bartholet says. “I think it’s always dangerous to put powerful people in charge of the powerless, and to give the powerful ones total authority.” In other words, the State, the government must control the education of children, not parents.

Rhode Island public school teacher offers to pay someone with coronavirus to cough on Trump. Aimee Bednarz, 6th-grade teacher at Villa Nova Middle School in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, also threatens school-choice supporters and the president of the National Parents Union. “She threatens to directly come to my house” Keri Rodriguez says. “Amy has even done her research to find out the name of the street I live on and even my phone number, which she calls on a regular basis.”

Democrat Staffer Says Lure Trump Supporters in a Warehouse and Let Them Die from Coronavirus. Maryland Comptroller Len Foxwell posted: “Let’s lure them into a big, big warehouse… Get them in, bar the door and then let Darwin work his magic.” Calls for Foxwell’s firing are ignored by his boss, Peter Franchot, who defends him.

Progressive Democrat admits to blocking money for workers in order to gain political leverage. Dem Rep. Pramila Jayapal admitted she and her (so-called) progressive colleagues have been blocking legislation aimed at providing relief to small business workers in order to hold on to political leverage. She and fellow “progressive” lawmakers and activists pushed for illegal immigrants to be included in the next round of coronavirus relief, among other “progressive” priorities. They care more about illegals than American citizens. They want them here and give them freebies to get Dem votes.

Obama gave infamous Wuhan lab millions in taxpayer money. 3.7 million from U.S. National Institutes of Health for research on bat coronaviruses, and 3.4 million for another that injected viruses into mice brains. The virus originally was thought to have come from a wet market in Wuhan. However, US and British intelligence agencies are investigating whether the virus accidentally leaked from the Wuhan lab. The U.S. State Dept sent two cables warning of “safety issues” at the Wuhan lab in 2018.

Former CIA operative: China uses Dems as ‘useful idiots’ to spread propaganda; Biden ‘in the tank’ for Beijing. Former CIA operative Bryan Dean Wright called out Democrats – including former Vice President Joe Biden – for placing too much trust in China’s narratives. As I’ve stated a number of times, Soviet defector Yuri Besmenov warned us in 1984 about the Communist agenda and those they deceived, whom they referred to as useful idiots.

Star-Studded ‘One World’ Benefit Concert for the W.H.O. Sparks Outrage: ‘Commie Propaganda.’ Many people were unimpressed by the event. “If I could give No stars I would,” one reviewer wrote. “WHO lied! People died! Let’s not forgot this! While we’re home giving up our freedom and most without jobs, these CELEBRITIES ask us to raise money for the WHO?! Forget it!” “Yes, we need useless celebrities preaching to us how this isn’t China’s fault and how we should just all live as one nation,” added another. Skeptics lashed out at WHO chief, Tedros, former official in Ethiopia’s Marxist Liberation Front, and subject of widespread criticism for his attempts to downplay China’s role in the outbreak.

American quandary: how to secure weapons-grade minerals without China. Companies sold out to foreign countries, especially China, decades ago; now we’re paying the price. America’s one rare earth mine is southern California’s Mountain Pass, home to the world’s eighth-largest reserves of rare earth minerals used in missiles, fighter jets, night-vision goggles and other devices. But the U.S. Dept of Energy told government scientists not to collaborate with the mine’s owner. This is because MP Materials is almost a tenth-owned by a Chinese investor and relies heavily on Chinese sales and technical know-how.

Why Did Hundreds of CEOs Resign Just Before Coronavirus Outbreak? CEO’s don’t resign from their companies when the economy is good as it was before the coronavirus outbreak. Yet months before, they were resigning. What did they know that we didn’t?

EXTREME WEATHER

Severe weather outbreak with tornadoes, strong winds, and hail hit wide portions of the Deep South, U.S. last weekend. Damages and power outages were reported in several states, including Florida, while at least three fatalities– one each in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama– were blamed on the storms.

Mississippi tornado rated as EF-4 — the fourth EF-4 in 2020, the most fatal tornado year since 2012
The National Weather Service rated the Mississippi tornado last weekend as EF-4. This is the third violent tornado in the area within a week, and the fourth EF-4 tornado in 2020, making this year one with the most EF-4 tornadoes since 2014. So far this year, tornadoes in the US caused 67 fatalities, making it the most fatal individual tornado year since 2012.

Another round of storms on April 22: Destructive tornadoes hit Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, claiming lives of 7 people and injuring dozens after a series of tornadoes ripped through Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, destroying homes, businesses and cars.

More storms: As of Saturday, there were tornado warnings in the Carolinas. A smaller scale threat for severe weather remained in the southern Appalachians, with more damaging winds, hail and tornadoes. Parts of the Florida Panhandle were targeted by damaging winds, waterspouts and tornadoes earlier in the week. Both Saturday and Sunday, the front that brought the violent storms earlier in the week will linger over the southern half of the Florida Peninsula with round after round of storms.

This coming week: Severe weather to target Central, Southern states. Following a brief reprieve (for some, not all) from widespread severe weather, the threat for severe storms will ramp up again.

Atlantic Hurricane Season Less Than 6 Weeks Away, But It Has Started Early 5 Straight Years. NOAA says 38 storms formed in the Atlantic Basin before June 1 from 1851 through 2019, a long-term average of one such early storm every 4 to 5years. The 2010s had the most such storms, and there’s been a steady increase since the 1990s. In each of the last 5 years, we’ve had at least one named storm before June 1.

Flash floods and massive landslides wreak havoc in western Kenya. Heavy rains triggered devastating landslides and flash flooding last weekend. At least 4,000 have been displaced, 24 are missing, and 6 were killed.

Severe flooding hits the Congo. Heavy rains from April 16 to 17 triggered severe flooding, resulting in significant damage and destruction. As of April 20, at least 36 fatalities were reported, 42 people were injured, and more than 77,000 have been left without shelter.

Yemen: Organization of Islamic Cooperation calls for aid to flood-stricken Aden. The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation urged countries and international organizations to provide urgent humanitarian aid to Aden, which was ravaged by heavy rain and flooding last week.

Historic drought in Chile enters 10th year, setting a record for the country’s longest dry-spell ever. Records since 1915, when the nation started data-keeping, showed no droughts have lasted longer, and that the previous megadrought of this scale likely occurred over 1,000 years ago.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

North Korean war provocateur, Kim Jong Un, is said to be in a vegetative state when surgery went wrong. Rumors claim he supposedly collapsed due to a heart issue and had a stent procedure. Sources outside of N. Korea say the surgeon in charge was unused to dealing with obese patients and became nervous. Kim and his entourage are likely the only ones in that nation with enough to eat. Another dictator will surely take his place IF these rumors are indeed true. North Korea is acting like all is normal.

Syria claims Israel carried out an air strike. The attack targeted Iranian militias in the Palmyra desert on Monday. Israel says Iran’s presence in Syria is a threat, as Iran seeks to establish a permanent foothold along Israel’s northern borders. Monday’s incident comes five days after an air strike attributed to Israel targeted a Hezbollah vehicle on the road to transfer weapons from Lebanon to Syria.

Trump says US will ‘shoot down and destroy’ any Iranian boats harassing American ships. The president didn’t reference a specific incident, but his statement follows a tense encounter between Iranian and U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf last week; 11 Iranian ships repeatedly made “dangerous and harassing approaches” of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels.

US believes Iran successfully launched military satellite into orbit. The US has assessed that Iran successfully launched a military satellite into orbit for the first time. Vice President Pence said this violates the UN Security Council resolution. The move is significant because the country’s space program utilizes the same technology needed to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile, which would increase Iran’s capability to strike enemy targets.

Congress shares Trump EMP concerns. Long met with eye-rolling, the growing threat of an EMP attack on the nation’s electric grid and military bases by Iran or other foes has now gone mainstream. The latest evidence was in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (passed Dec. 2019) which adopted Trump’s action and ordered the National Guard to draw up a plan to thwart disaster from an EMP. Some top leaders have expressed concerns that Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran are working on nuclear EMP weapons that, when detonated above the US, could knock out the electric grid for up to a year. The federal government is also worried about a natural attack from solar storms.

Deadly Losharik Submarine Fire and Russia’s Secret Undersea Agenda. It was clearly a mission of highest sensitivity. The roster of the dead included some of the most decorated and experienced officers of the Russian submarine corps. To understand why they were on a submarine that can dive to perhaps 20,000 feet — over 10 times deeper than crewed American subs are believed to operate — consider what crisscrosses the North Atlantic floor: endless miles of fiber-optic cables that carry a large fraction of the world’s internet traffic, including trillions of dollars in financial transactions. There are also cables linking the sonar listening devices on the ocean floor.

ISRAEL: SELECTION REFLECTION

Unity agreement signed: National Unity government to be formed. Netanyahu will serve 18 months, then Gantz for 18 months. Under the agreement, the government will be able to apply sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria according to the Trump administration’s Deal of the Century. It’s interesting that the day this unity government was signed, April 20, is Hitler’s birthday. It’s also the birthday of Napoleon III, Napoleon’s nephew, who organized a coup so he could remain president of France after failing to have the constitution changed. He then changed the constitution, declaring himself President for Life, and in 1852, Emperor of France. The real “deal of the century” will be when Antichrist confirms an existing covenant with many. As late as the hour is, it makes one wonder if that false peace covenant will be signed within this next three-year term.

So-called “Palestinians” decry Netanyahu-Gantz deal; warn ‘annexation’ will end two-state solution. PLO Secretary-General Erekat said the new Israeli government “has two options: either open the doors for a meaningful peace process or further jeopardize any hope for peace.”

UN, EU warn Israel against West Bank annexation. United Nations and the European Union warned Israel not to annex parts of the West Bank. The UN’s special Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov said such a move would be a “devastating blow” to the two-state solution; and the EU said annexing ‘Palestinian territory’ “would be a serious violation of international law.”

It’s God’s land covenanted to Israel, as the Bible says. God said He will, in those days and at that time when the Jews are returned to their land, bring all nations to Armageddon over their treatment of Israel (Joel 3). It’s been a lifespan (Psalm 90:10) since Israel was restored; and especially when you take the 7-year tribulation into account, that time is coming very soon upon the left-behind world.

ORWELLIAN SOCIETY

YouTube removing content that goes ‘against World Health Organization recommendations.’ President Trump‘s announcement that the U.S. would halt funding of WHO over its handling of the coronavirus hasn’t stopped YouTube from taking the agency’s recommendations as gospel.

BEAST TECHNOLOGY IS HERE AND IS BEING PUSHED HARD

FDA approves computer chip for humans. Not “the” mark, but preparing mindsets for Rev 13:16-17. The VeriChip contains no medical records, but codes that can be scanned/revealed in a doctor’s office/hospital. With that code, health providers can unlock that portion of a database that holds a person’s medical info. The electronic database would be updated with each visit. The chip’s possible dual use for tracking people’s movements has raised alarm. So far, 1,000 people have the chips implanted, very few in the US.

Coronavirus: People-tracking wristbands tested to enforce lockdown. Bulgaria is the latest country to test a wristband that can track people during the pandemic. Up to 50 residents in Sofia will be given a device that can record their movements using GPS. Several nations are testing similar wristbands to make sure people are obeying orders to stay at home.

Elizabeth City, New Jersey, and Westport, Connecticut, Police Department Deploys Drones Donated by Chinese Manufacturer to surveil citizens suspected of violating social distancing orders. China donated the drones to 22 cities in 43 states. They should send them back! Immigration and Customs Enforcement warned in 2017 that the drones are collecting information on crucial U.S. infrastructure, and the U.S. Army has banned their use.

GLOBALISTS ARE SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE END-TIME EVENTS

The Coronavirus Sets the Stage for End-Times Events. Britt Gillette tells us what to expect in the days ahead.

  1. Calls for a strong European leader
  2. Calls for stronger European integration
  3. Calls for increased tracking of people
  4. Calls to replace paper currency with a world cryptocurrency
  5. Decreased demand for oil – Source

Let’s take a look at each of these points and what’s in the news now:

  1. Calls for a strong European leader:

The current “elephant in the room” that is in the news ‘every time we turn around’ is Emmanuel Macron. I say “elephant in the room” because some say we brethren shouldn’t mention anything about a current candidate for the Antichrist since we won’t be here when he is revealed. But shouldn’t we let those who may be left behind at least know who is on the world stage at this late hour with such characteristics? The Antichrist and The False Prophet must be out there now hiding in plain sight, since there are only seven years left after we’re raptured before Christ returns to destroy them. That’s not a lot of time for them to gain such power.

Not claiming Macron is the antichrist, but he’s the one right now deliberately trying to position himself as leader of the world, even having gone so far as to have organized a “ten-nation coalition of the willing” and had ten nations represented in his Bastille Day parade. He also vowed to be a “jupiterian” leader. From Reuters: “Macron himself has said he plans a “jupiterian” presidency, like the Roman god of gods who weighs his pronouncements carefully.” And he appears to be the de facto leader of the European Union. It matters not that many in France aren’t very fond of him.

In the current headlines, you may have seen:

Macron does appear to be an antichrist-type, of which there have been many (1 John 2:18). At the very least, he is setting the stage for what we refer to as “the coming revived Roman Empire.”

Characteristics of the Antichrist: Many Bible prophecy experts point to scripture indicating he’ll come from the revived Roman Empire (not that he has to be Roman, as that empire was vast, consisting of contiguous territories throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East). He’ll gain worldwide attention and global power, rule a ten-nation confederacy, have a powerful army, be very shrewd in: intellect, speech, commerce, politics, and war. In the Tribulation, he will perform signs and wonders to deceive, will appear to have died and be resurrected, will declare himself to be God in the middle of the 7-year tribulation, and all who refuse his mark of worship in order to buy or sell will be killed.

Would the Jews even accept a non-Jew as their messiah?

Could it be that they accept him as a peacemaker when he confirms the covenant with many, then when he steps into the temple and declares himself to be God, many are deceived enough due to his signs and wonders by that time to believe he’s the Messiah? We know that a number of Jews will be horrified when he does this and will flee with just the clothes on their backs.

There could be others out there on the world stage who will step into that role. The rapture of the true believers in Christ would certainly create enough chaos, besides what’s already going on, to have people literally screaming for someone to make everything alright again. The Antichrist will step into that role to deceive the world into thinking he’s that man.

What we do know is that the Jews will receive another who comes in his own authority, and seeking his own glory. Jesus said to the Jewish leaders, “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”

2) Calls in recent years for Further European Union Integration:

3) Calls for Increased Tracking of People:

  • There are so many agendas at this time that they’re all running together as to who, what, and how: mandatory vaccination; ID2020 digital identity; Apple and Google’s digital contract tracing apps; quantum dot tattoos. See Todd Strandberg’s latest Nearing Midnight Update at raptureready.com titled “The Environment is Set on the Mark of the Beast.” Antichrist will easily be able to track anyone who doesn’t take his mark of worship.
  • Big Tech, Elected Officials Mimicking China’s Surveillance Methods To Police Citizens Amid Pandemic. Surveillance measures elected officials and big tech companies are taking to slow the pandemic in the US mimic some heavy-handed efforts China used to track and police citizens.

4) Calls to Replace Paper Currency with a World Cryptocurrency: THIS IS REALLY CREEPY!

5) Decreased Demand for Oil:

  • From Britt Gillette’s article: Over 2,600 years ago, Ezekiel revealed that an alliance of Russia, Iran, Turkey, and other regional nations will launch a surprise attack on Israel from the north (Ezekiel 38-39). Since the Syrian civil war began, each of the major players have moved their forces into Syria on Israel’s northern border (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). The coronavirus-induced oil price war provides yet another reason to expect we’re getting closer to seeing fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. When asked to describe the signs of His coming, Jesus cited pandemics just like the one we’re experiencing now as a major sign (Luke 21:11).

I would add number 6 here: Calls for unity between all religions. Pope Francis has been calling for this, and recently reiterated his position: From the UAE, Pope Francis calls for unity among all faith leaders.

CONCLUSION

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
