On July 27, 2022, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates even though some financial experts believe the higher rates will cause a decline in home sales, a decline in home values, an increase in the number of people that can’t pay their mortgage, and an increase in unemployment.

I am not a financial expert or a prophet, but it is my opinion that wrecking the housing industry might slow the economy and reduce inflation if the U.S. government reduced its spending and restored America’s energy independence, but that is not going to happen.

Hence, it is my opinion that higher food prices, higher energy prices, and the march toward hyper-inflation and a global economic collapse will continue.

Raising interest rates will slow the construction industry, force people out of work, force people into older and smaller houses, force the use of less energy, etc., but the current government’s endgame is still a weaker, greener America under a tyrannical New World Order.

(FYI: The same people that denied that inflation was soaring are now denying that America is in a recession.)

(Good theology: On Aug. 1, 2022, I told a group of Baptist preachers that God will cause the Ten Kings to surrender their power and authority to the Antichrist to fulfill His Word (Rev. 17:12-17). One preacher said that is why God will Rapture the Church before the Tribulation Period. He said the Church is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is salt and light, and is restraining the Antichrist and his world government (II Thess. 2:6-15). God will remove His Church so the Antichrist can rise to power and fulfill His Word.)

Here are more prophecy-related stories that recently made the news:

One, concerning America’s decline: the underlying problem is America’s abandonment of God.

A recent Gallop poll found that less than 20% of America’s citizens still believe that the Bible is the literal Word of God.

Electing leaders that oppose Biblical values has negatively impacted the beliefs and morals of America.

Without God’s guidance, the decisions of those leaders are faulty, and the consequences are not good.

Two, concerning the corruption of the U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI: perhaps the greatest proof is their protection of Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden versus their investigation and possible pending prosecution of Pres. Trump.

They lied to the courts, helped Hillary destroy evidence, said the “Laptop from Hell” was disinformation, and helped cover up the “big guy’s” (Pres. Biden’s) share of the profits from Hunter’s crimes in Ukraine and China, but they are leaving no stone unturned in their effort to stop Trump.

Many of our leaders, many in the DOJ, and many in the FBI seem to be part of a corrupt government, and God may cause them to submit to the most corrupt government in all history (Satan’s Antichrist, his Ten wicked Kings, and the False Prophet).

They don’t seem to realize that their takedown of America could mean their self-destruction and they could be among the generation of godless leaders that will desire to hide in the dens and rocks of the mountains during the great day of the Lamb’s wrath (Rev. 6:15-17).

Three, concerning tribulation (as in hard times, hungry, cold, etc.): Russia recently shut down the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to Germany for repairs.

Russia restarted it but has announced plans to cut the gas flow to 20% of capacity.

If that rate is not upped before winter, many factories will close, many houses will be without heat, and many women and children will get sick and die.

Four, concerning food shortages and famine: on July 27, 2022, BASF, one of the largest producers of fertilizer in the world, announced that it will drastically cut its production of ammonia (fertilizer), and farmers can expect the price to soar in 2023.

Insufficient fertilizer and higher fertilizer prices will result in less food production, more food shortages (possibly famine), and higher food prices.

It has been reported that governments are pressuring companies to reduce their production of fertilizer because government officials want to meet Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development (climate change) goals.

Five, concerning the Mark of the Beast: no one should doubt that the Antichrist and False Prophet will kill multitudes of people during the Tribulation Period for refusing to take the Mark.

Reports that globalists want to reduce the population of the earth are common.

Consider this:

• If our government will let women and children die in the EU without heat and transportation when we could produce oil and natural gas,
• If our government will let women and children die in the back of 18-wheeler trucks at our border with Mexico when we could check every truck,
• If our government will let women and children die every day trying to get to our border to cross the Rio Grande River when we could stop it,
• If our government will force people to be vaccinated when it could kill them,
• If our government will let more than 200 people die every day from fentanyl and not close the border,
• If our government will encourage the grooming of young children in the LGBTQ+ agenda when they are four times more likely to commit suicide than straight children, and celebrate it,
• If our government will ignore the killing of dozens of people in large cities every week of the year and not do anything about it,
• If our government will pay people to kill babies up to the moment of birth and kill some for a few weeks after birth.

Six, concerning the Mark of the Beast: during the Tribulation Period, people will not be allowed to buy and sell unless they take the Mark.

On July 30, 2022, it was reported that the Biden administration is halting school lunch funding in schools that do not let biological boys use the girl’s bathrooms and showers and do not let biological girls use the boy’s bathrooms and showers if they self-identify as the opposite sex.

Our government is withholding food from children in low-income families to force the LGBTQ agenda on schools.

It is forcing school systems to choose between food for hungry children and immoral, unbiblical practices.

22 states have filed a lawsuit to stop this.

Seven, concerning the Mark of the Beast: Israel is moving closer to a cashless society.

On Aug. 1, 2022, a new law will go into effect in Israel that will require a digital transfer, a debit card, or something similar on business purchases exceeding the equivalent of $1,700.

Cash transactions between private citizens will be illegal if the amount exceeds the equivalent of $4,360.

Requiring cashless transactions in some cases is a big step in the direction of tracking buying and selling by the middle of the Tribulation Period.

Eight, concerning world government and a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC): on July 30, 2022, Catherine Fitts, former Assistant Sec. of Housing under Pres. George H.W. Bush, said the CBDC is a global financial system, not a digital currency.

According to Fitts, “Central bankers are trying to create a system where they are completely free of the laws of nation states and governments…. They are inserting sovereign immunity from all laws and literally trying to create a civilization under the law where they are free to do whatever they want, including, as we know it—genocide.”

As I understand it, Fitts believes bankers are trying to create a system that will allow them to legally seize everyone’s money and property so that they own and control everything, and citizens own and control nothing.

This sounds like a godless world government that controls everything and kills those that disobey (those that are not happy with owning nothing).

Everyone on earth should oppose this system.

Following the Rapture, those that obey the Antichrist and False Prophet by taking the Mark will become Hell-bound slaves (Rev. 14:9-10), and those that get saved and refuse to take the Mark will be persecuted and killed.

The Bible even teaches that slavery will exist during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 18:11-13), but it is not likely that the slaves will be happy.

Nine, concerning perilous times: on July 30, 2022, two Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) Telegram channels posted a video saying Iran will turn New York into a hellish ruin if Israel or the U.S. attacks Iran.

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.

Concerning world government: on July 19, 2022, UN Sec.-Gen. Guterres and WEF founder Klaus Schwab witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a strategic partnership and to accelerate the “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

The UN and WEF have agreed to cooperate on fast-tracking world government.

It is important that God can slow down or delay world government, or He can also accelerate it if He wants.

The acceleration of world government is good news for many that are concerned about inflation, food shortages, nuclear war, etc., but it is bad news for those that are not saved.

Here are more stories that made the news in the last few days.

One, concerning world government: on July 26, 2022, The Washington Standard published an article by award-winning international journalist Alex Newman, titled “UN & World Economic Forum Behind Global ‘War On Farmers.’”

Newman’s article contains more information than I want to discuss here, but it is extremely important, and I recommend it to those that are interested.

In my words, here are some of Newman’s insights on current events:

>The UN and the World Economic Forum (WEF) are jointly pushing the nations to implement the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and if they are not stopped, their policies will lead to “economic devastation, shortages of critical goods, widespread famine, and a dramatic loss of individual freedoms.”

>These problems are already impacting millions of people, and they will worsen in the coming weeks and months.

>Resistance to this globalist agenda is growing in some parts of the world, but government officials are cracking down on their citizens instead of trying to solve their complaints.

>The real agenda is not to help people or to save the planet from climate change; the real goal is to reduce the sovereignty of people and nations and to bring everyone on earth under the rule of a world government.

>Globalist leaders believe they can gain control over people and nations by gaining control over their food and energy.

>They are not concerned about food and energy shortages because they believe they have the wealth and means to protect themselves from the shortages they are creating.

>Global control is why small businesspeople, farmers, ranchers, and workers are being squeezed out and made poorer all over the world.

>This is behind the statement that “You will own nothing and be happy.”

(My opinion: In the future, those that are not happy must not say so because many globalists want to reduce the population of the earth.)

(Another opinion: A big difference between this present generation and past generations is the globalist desire to create problems instead of solving problems.)

Two, on Oct. 8, 2018, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a Special Report on Global Warming that said the world had 12 years (until 2030) to limit the rise in global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and prevent a multitude of disasters (health issues, food shortages, economic problems, etc.).

That led to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ famous remark on Jan. 21, 2019, that “The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?”

On July 25, 2022, I heard a commentator on TV say the climate change fanatics have now moved the end of the planet up one year (until 2029).

Climate change is a scare tactic (God controls the weather, uses it to urge people and nations to repent of their sins, and to fulfill His Word; see Psa. 148:8), but many prophecy lovers would love to believe the Rapture is closer than they thought.

Three, on July 19, 2022, the head of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, and the Premier of China, Li Keqiang, held a virtual meeting applauding their cooperation and pledging to work together on climate change, industrial transformation, and social equity in the future.

Critics are concerned that China’s Social Credit Score system will be integrated into the New World Order and be used to determine who can buy and sell, where people live, where their children attend school, and more.

Four, on July 23, 2022, it was reported that the WEF has published a paper calling for an end to private car ownership.

As the WEF sees it, there are too many vehicles in the world, and it takes too much metal and other materials to build them.

Forcing people to share vehicles, ride buses, walk, work from home, etc., will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save the planet from climate change.

Klaus Schwab and some like him believe the world needs to transition from product purchasing (ownership of vehicles) to more efficient usership (renting, sharing vehicles, etc.).

(FYI: It is more than ending the ownership of vehicles. The WEF says you will own nothing and be happy. It sounds like they want your clothes too.)

Five, concerning pestilence: on July 21, 2022, the White House announced that Pres. Biden has tested positive for Covid even though he has been fully vaccinated and had two booster shots.

Just know that the vaccination and booster shots don’t prevent a person from getting Covid, but they can cause adverse reactions that could be dangerous.

(FYI: On July 21, 2021, Pres. Biden said, “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”)

(Concerning deceit at the end of the age: Afghanistan won’t fall, America’s allies won’t be left in Afghanistan, inflation is temporary, our border is secure, Putin is causing high gas prices, we are not in a recession, etc.)

Six, concerning pestilence: on July 22, 2022, it was reported that anyone can get Monkeypox (from small rodent bites, using linens that someone with Monkeypox used, respiratory droplets, and bodily fluids, skin-to-skin contact, etc.), but it is primarily a sexually transmitted disease (STD) spread by men having sex with men.

Sadly, some officials want to hide the fact that the main problem is gay male sex.

The good news is that an effective vaccine already exists (two doses of Jynneos), and manufacturers have already stepped up production.

(More: On July 22, 2022, the UN WHO declared that Monkeypox is a public health emergency of international concern. One man, Tedros Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO, overruled nine of the experts on his 15-member panel of advisers to make the declaration. Put another way, one man called the Antichrist will eventually rule the world, and one man called the Director-General of the WHO has just declared a public health emergency that impacts the whole world even though he was opposed and outnumbered by credible opposition.)

(More: On July 22, 2022, the CDC confirmed that two children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with Monkeypox, and both have ties to gay men.)

Seven, concerning famine and food shortages: on July 22, 2022, Ukraine and Russia signed agreements with the UN and Turkey to ship about 22 million tons of Ukrainian grain to other nations.

The agreements will go a long way toward feeding hungry people in the world, and some reports say it should help stabilize grain prices.

(More: concerning food shortages: there have been several reports that the devastating drought in the western part of the U.S. is causing farmers and ranchers to liquidate their herds and get out of the cattle business. One report on July 25, 2022, said the price of a roll of hay in some areas has increased from about $45 to $220.)

(More: On July 26, 2022, it was reported that Canadian Prime Min. Justin Trudeau ignored strong opposition from farm organizations and ordered a dramatic reduction in the use of fertilizer to meet the 2030 sustainable development climate change goals. Some officials were stunned that Canada is drastically cutting food production when the world is facing food shortages.)

Eight, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: tension has been growing between Russia and Israel over Israel’s support for Ukraine.

Around mid-July, Russia called for a Jewish agency in Russia that was helping Jews immigrate to Israel to be closed.

On July 24, 2022, it was reported that Israeli Prime Min. Lapid warned Russia that closing the immigration office would be a “grave event” and “would negatively affect diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Moscow.”

Israel has asked to meet with Russian officials to try to resolve the issue.

The Bible clearly teaches that Russia and many allies will attack Israel at the end of the age, and the relationship between the two nations has soured dramatically since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Nine, concerning the coming hyper-inflation and economic collapse: on July 24, 2022, it was reported that inflation is entrenched and getting worse, so the Federal Reserve will likely be forced to keep raising interest rates to bring it under control.

Some economists don’t believe the Fed can bring inflation under control without triggering a recession.

No matter how we look at it (inflation or recession), excessive government spending and the destruction of America’s energy independence have contributed to the problem.

(More: On July 20, 2022, it was reported that rising interest rates are causing home sales, prices, and construction to plunge.)

(More: On July 22, 2022, it was reported that companies are reducing their workforce, and jobless claims in the U.S. have risen three weeks in a row.)

Ten, concerning immorality and global rejection of the Scriptures: on July 25, 2022, it was reported that the WHO is now officially endorsing the idea of more than two genders.

One man (WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus) may soon have control over the health of everyone on earth, and he based his opinion on politics, not science or Scripture.

It is debatable, but some prophecy teachers believe the Antichrist will be gay (Dan. 11:37; II Tim. 3:3), and Ghebreyesus is endorsing the gay agenda.

Eleven, concerning the Mark of the Beast: the False Prophet will make an image of the Antichrist during the Tribulation Period, give it life, cause it to speak, and demand that people worship it if they want to buy and sell (Rev. 13:12-17).

A reader has reminded me of the well-publicized story of the Google Developer that was recently fired for saying that Google has developed a talking Artificial Intelligence (AI) bot that has gone sentient (able to perceive things or make conscious decisions).

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.
