The title of this article comes from Scripture. “See then that ye walk circumspectly not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:15-16).

Here are 7 basic things that people need to know about Bible prophecy:

• One, people need to know that God knows the future. Paul said, “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world” (Acts 15:18). God knows what will happen before it happens.
• Two, people need to know that God reveals the future before it happens. God said, “I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:9-10). There is just one God, and He reveals what He plans to do before He does it.
• Three, people need to know that the Bible is full of prophecy. God put 18 books of prophecy in the Bible. He put 5 books called the Major Prophets in the Bible. He put 12 books called the Minor Prophets in the Bible. He put the Book of Revelation in the Bible. He put whole chapters of prophecy in the Bible (Matt. 24-25). Depending upon who we talk to, some say 25-40% of the Bible is prophecy. The Bible is full of prophecy.
• Four, people need to know that Bible prophecy is reliable. God said, “The prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die” (Deut. 18:20). God’s prophets had to be right 100% of the time. If what they said is not from God, it is from Satan.
• Five, people need to know that there is proof of the accuracy of Bible prophecy. The Old Testament records more than 300 prophecies about the first coming of Jesus. Some prophecies are repeated two or three times. After the repetitions are removed, the Old Testament still records at least 108 specifically different prophecies about the first coming of Jesus that were literally fulfilled.

Many years ago, Peter Stoner, former Professor Emeritus of Science at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, calculated the probability of one person fulfilling just 48 prophecies to be 1 with 127 zeros (A trillion has just 12 zeros). With the odds being so great for one person to fulfill just 48 prophecies, one must wonder what the odds would be for one person to fulfill all 108 prophecies. Fulfilled prophecy is indisputable proof that Jesus is the Messiah, that God knows the end from the beginning, that God is in control, and that the Bible is the Word of God.

• Six, people need to know what Peter said about Bible prophecy. “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (II Peter 1:20-21). Notice these four things: Bible prophecy is sure (it is accurate), people would do well (be wise) to pay attention to Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy is like a light (because it helps people understand other things in the Bible), and Bible prophecy was given by the Holy Ghost (the reason why it is 100% accurate).
• Seven, people need to know that Bible prophecy is about Jesus. The Bible says, “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10b). Why would people, especially pastors and church members, willfully ignore the testimony of Jesus?

Here are recent current events that relate to Bible Prophecy and our need to walk circumspectly (believe, live and act the way God wants us to believe, live and act).

One: on Feb. 19, 2021, it was reported that Pres. Biden took office promising to improve America’s relationship with Europe, work with our allies in Europe, strengthen NATO, etc.

Pres. Macron of France believes it is time for the EU to establish a more powerful military and tell the U.S. to remove her troops.

The Antichrist will rise to power in Europe and go forth conquering and to conquer.

I am receiving e-mails from readers that want to know if I believe Emmanuel Macron is the Antichrist.

The identity of the Antichrist will not be revealed while the Church is here, but since Israel became a nation in 1948, several people have been identified as the Antichrist that are no longer alive.

There is no question that Macron has many traits of the Antichrist, and he could be the Antichrist, but be careful because skeptics will label you as a false prophet, refuse to listen to you, etc., if something happens to Macron.

Two, concerning world government: on Feb. 19, 2021, it was reported that Biden addressed global leaders with two major speeches (one at the G-7 virtual summit and another at the Munich Security Conference) to declare the end of Trump’s “America First” agenda.

As I understand it, the era of “America First” is dead, and it has been replaced by the era of “Globalism First.”

Trump put the needs of America above the needs of the UN and other nations.

Biden is putting the needs of the UN and other nations (the globalist agenda; the New World Order) above the needs of America.

Know that the World Economic Forum (WEF) plans to ask the G-7 nations to approve “The Great Reset” this fall, and Biden (or whoever is in charge at the White House) is letting people know that he supports the globalist agenda.

• Be aware that a former Obama Dept. of Homeland Security Official said more than one million immigrants will try to cross the U.S. border with Mexico this year (many with Covid; some getting vaccinated before American citizens that want vaccinations can get them).
• Be aware that Biden has prepared a $1.9 Trillion Covid Relief Package and less than 10% of the money is for health-related issues (more than 90% is for museums, family planning, bailing out states and cities, a bridge that Schumer wants in New York, a tunnel that Pelosi wants in San Francisco and more).
• Be aware that the bailout of cities and states is based on unemployment rates, meaning that cities and states that use lockdowns to put people out of work will get more money than cities and states that don’t use lockdowns to put people out of work.
• Be aware that Biden is warming up to China; that nation is requiring its people to hate God, wants to head up the coming world government, a government that will hate God, etc. (Rev. 13:4-8).

Know that God gave Daniel a vision of the latter time, the rise and fall of the Antichrist, and his world government during the Tribulation Period (Dan. 8:23-27).

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.”

The vision of the coming Antichrist and his world government was so evil and destructive that it caused Daniel to faint and be sick for several days.

In a past article, I stated that God may have allowed Trump to be removed from office so the globalist agenda can go forward (and it is).

God is in control, and He can speed it up or slow it down, but I expect the Democrats to lock America into a world government before the next election.

Three, concerning persecution: on Feb. 16, 2021, Worthy News reported that the Center for Family and Human Rights is warning groups and organizations that the UN (wannabe world government) is planning to create lists of those that oppose the LGBT agenda.

Those that oppose the LGBT agenda will be designated as “LGBT hate groups,” and they will be blacklisted and punished.

Four, concerning natural disasters: the state of Texas is known as a major producer of oil and natural gas, but in 2020, Texas used wind turbines to produce 23% of its electricity.

The extreme cold of the Feb. 2021 winter storm froze about half of the wind turbines, and, at one point, more than one and a half million Texans were without electricity.

It has been reported that without rolling blackouts, the entire system was just minutes away from a catastrophic failure that would have taken weeks, or perhaps months, to totally repair.

Stores closed for lack of electricity, others closed because they ran out of food, people moved into their vehicles to stay warm, more than 40 people died, and this is perhaps the costliest weather event in the history of Texas.

Thank God for fossil fuels because without them, the hunger (famine), cold, death and destruction would be much worse than it was this time.

Incidentally, on his first day in office, Biden stopped construction on the Keystone XL Pipeline in the U.S., put thousands of Americans out of work, and hurt Canada, but now he is promoting a pipeline to carry Turkmenistan gas across Afghanistan and Pakistan to India.

• Why are pipelines environmentally unsafe in the U.S. but environmentally safe in Muslim and terrorist countries?
• If nuclear power plants are unsafe in the U.S., why is Biden signaling his readiness to resume talks with Iran over the resumption of that terrorist nation’s nuclear program?
• Since America’s economy is in danger of collapsing and the U.S. has crude oil that could be sold, why is the U.S. cutting production, jobs, etc. and starting to buy oil again?
• If pollution of the atmosphere is causing climate change disasters like the one in Texas, why is Biden ignoring the fact that China is one of the worst polluters on earth, and why is Biden’s Climate Change Envoy, John Kerry, still flying around in his private plane?

It has been my opinion for a long time that God uses natural disasters to warn nations to repent and return to Him (II Chron. 7:13-14), but globalists are using the disasters as a scare tactic to bring in their godless world government.

Godless leaders do not think like Christians, and more and more, it is clear that this world is not the Christian’s home (I Cor. 2:14-16).

To be honest, I do not think America will repent, and if Covid and the Texas disaster are birth pains, there is more to come.

By the way, on Feb. 19, 2021, John Kerry was on CBS This Morning, and he was asked, “How much time do we still have left to avert climate catastrophe?”

He replied, “The scientists told us 3 years ago we have 12 years to avert the worst consequences of climate crises; we are now 3 years gone, so we have 9 years left.

This is 2021, and 9 years from now will be 2030, which is the UN agreed-upon goal for having a world government up and running.

Five: on Feb. 19, 2021, William Koenig, author of “Eye to Eye,” noted that Biden has hit the ground running on issues that are worrisome or detrimental to Israel.

Koenig is famous for pointing out that those that bless Israel are blessed, and those that curse Israel are cursed.

We cannot deny that Biden has come out in favor of the Two-State Solution (division of Israel), he opposed Israel’s construction of settlements in Judea and Samaria, he waffled on Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, he announced that the U.S. might be willing to rejoin the Iranian nuclear deal, he revoked Trump’s designation of the Iranian-backed Houthis as a terrorist organization, and more.

Now, the U.S. (especially Texas) has been hit with a record-breaking storm.

Six: on Feb. 17, 2021, it was reported that there is a leaked July 16, 2020, video of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, expressing concern to his employees about the Covid-19 vaccine.

Zuckerberg said, “We just don’t know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people’s DNA and RNA … whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream.”

This seems significant because Facebook has announced an expedited effort to remove posts that say the Covid-19 vaccine changes people’s DNA.

If Zuckerberg can warn his employees about future risks, why are others not allowed to warn people about future risks?

The U.S. Constitution gives citizens freedom of speech, and people like Zuckerberg should not be allowed to take it away.

This is another case of the rich and powerful making rules that apply to others but not themselves.

Finally, if you want to 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.

Here are 16 differences between the Rapture and the Second Coming:

• The Rapture will be before the Tribulation Period—The Second Coming will be after.
• At the Rapture, Jesus stays in the air—At the Second Coming, Jesus comes down to the earth.
• At the Rapture, the Church goes up to heaven—At the Second Coming, the Church comes down to the earth.
• At the Rapture, the living saints are caught up to heaven—At the Second Coming, the living saints remain to repopulate the earth.
• At the Rapture, the Mt. of Olives is untouched—At the Second Coming, Jesus touches down on the Mt. of Olives, and it splits in two.
• The Rapture is followed by the reign of the Antichrist—The Second Coming is followed by the reign of the Christ.
• At the Rapture, the physical character of the earth is unchanged—At the Second Coming, the physical character of the earth is changed (Jerusalem will be elevated).
• At the Rapture, Satan will go on a rampage—At the Second Coming, Satan will be bound and chained.
• At the Rapture, Jesus will remove peace from the earth—At the Second Coming, Jesus will establish peace on earth.
• The Rapture is a secret event (Like a thief in the night)—The Second Coming is a public event (Every eye will see Jesus).
• At the Rapture, the Church will be removed from the earth—At the Second Coming, the lost will be removed from the earth.
• The Rapture is before the Marriage of the Lamb—The Second Coming is after the Marriage of the Lamb.
• At the Rapture, Jesus comes for His Church—At the Second Coming, Jesus comes with His Church.
• There are no signs of the Rapture—There are many signs of the Second Coming.
• At the Rapture, Jesus rescues His Church—At the Second Coming, Jesus rescues Israel.
• The Rapture demonstrates the grace of God—The Second Coming demonstrates the wrath of God.

Here are some recent events that are related to Bible prophecy:

One, God gives people that ignore Him (men that sleep with men, women that sleep with women, etc.) over to a reprobate mind (Rom. 1:24-28).

He will allow them to reach a point where they cannot make sound decisions.

On Feb. 10, 2021, it was reported that a hospital in the U.K. has started saying “chestfeeding” instead of “breastfeeding”; “human milk” instead of “breastmilk”; “parent,” “co-parent,” or “second biological parent” instead of “father.”

The growth of the LGBTQ community seems to be causing an increase in unsound thinking.

Two, on Feb. 12, 2021, it was reported that Israel ranked seventh in Bloomberg’s list of the 60 most innovative economies.

The U.S. dropped from 9th last year to 11th this year.

Think about it: The U.S. didn’t even make the top 10.

Three, on Jan. 20, 2021, the great prophecy teacher, Jan Markell, made some profound statements about the coming Great Reset, called the Great Reset global socialism and/or Marxism, and said its goal is to take the world to global godless government.

She rightly said the Great Reset will abolish Christianity, cash, private property, national sovereignty, and more, and the Biden/Harris administration cannot wait to implement it.

If silence in the pulpits over the destruction of Christianity is not lukewarmness and unsound thinking, what is it (Rev. 3:15-22)?

Four, concerning deceit, on Feb. 10, 2021, it was reported that German officials have found internal documents showing that Germany’s Interior Ministry paid people to create fear in the nation to justify Covid lockdowns and other restrictive measures.

Interior Ministry officials were pushing a political agenda and paying people to scare their citizens to justify what they were doing.

Five, on Feb. 12, 2021, Iran announced that it will join the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), a regional trading bloc of nations that includes Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia.

On Nov. 15, 2020, 15 nations, including China, agreed to make the ASEAN EC the largest regional trading bloc of nations on earth.

On July 1, 2020, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) went into effect.

These regional trading blocs of nations are being patterned after the E.U.

According to the Bible, Ten Kings will appear before the Antichrist appears (Dan. 7:7-8, 24).

I have long contended that the U.N. will be divided into 10 regions or 10 regional trading blocs of nations (E.U., USMCA, ASEAN EC, GCC, etc.) with one leader over each region before the Antichrist rises to power.

These regional trading blocs of nations have been coming on the scene for years.

It is my opinion, based on past reports, that the 10 regional trading blocs will each pick a leader that will turn out to be the 10 Kings.

Six, in his first three weeks in office, Pres. Biden called the leaders of several nations (Canada, UK, China, Russia, France, Japan, etc.), but he has not called Prime Min. Netanyahu of Israel.

Some Israeli and media officials believe Biden is deliberately snubbing Israel.

California Representative Ro Khanna believes Biden is sending a message that he will radically change America’s relationship with Israel if it doesn’t stop building settlements on the West Bank and recognize Palestinian Statehood.

Some of the concern may have started when Biden’s Sec. of State, Antony Blinken, said Biden would not adhere to Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights (he may have backed off on this).

Biden’s resumption of relations with the P.A. and his decision to resume economic aid to the P.A. have not helped.

On Feb. 11, 2021, Biden’s Press Sec., Jen Psaki, was asked, “Does the administration still consider the Saudis and the Israelis important allies?” She did not answer the question.

During the Tribulation Period, the whole world will hate Israel, and that includes a godless U.S.

Seven, some U.S. citizens, especially young Americans, think Socialism is a good thing.

I recently read a 6-month-old CBNNEWS.COM article about a Christian named Georgian Banov who escaped Socialism in Bulgaria and made his way to America.

Banov reminded people that the USSR was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (notice the word “Socialist” because some historians estimate that Joseph Stalin may have killed as many as 20 million people).

According to Banov, there was no such thing as “Soft Socialism.”

It is an anti-God, anti-Christ system of government that rules with an iron fist.

Citizens were poor, most didn’t have enough to eat, they were spied on, they lived in fear, and those that complained (or supposedly complained) about the government were arrested or they just disappeared.

Those who are calling for Socialism in America need to pray that they never get what they are asking for.

We are living in prophetic times, and a Socialist/Marxist world government is looming that will be more evil than what Banov experienced.
