First, on June 30, 2019, a freak hailstorm dropped 5 to 7 ½ feet of hail on Guadalajara, Mexico.

The temperature was in the mid-80’s, and the hail melted and refroze as it hit the earth.

The governor of the area said he had never seen anything like it, but some see similarities to the seventh plague in the days of Moses.

“Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation” (Exodus 9:23-24).

Some Bible skeptics say hail and fire wouldn’t exist at the same time, but 5 to 7 feet of hail recently fell in Guadalajara, Mexico, while the temperature was in the mid-80’s; and that is not normal.

Second, two weeks ago, I wrote about Facebook’s plans to implement a global currency called the Libra in 2020 (see “Approaching Our Blessed Hope.”)

Since that article was written, there have been two new developments.

One new development came on June 25, 2019, when Steve Forbes, a two-time candidate for the Republican nomination for Pres. of the U.S., posted an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg on his website.

Forbes believes Zuckerberg can create a global currency to replace the U.S. dollar, if he plays his cards right; and Forbes told Zuckerberg four things he wanted him to know:

Link your global currency to gold.

There have been other currencies that were successful because they were linked to gold.

A global currency linked to gold would be the most desirable currency on earth.

Call the currency the Mark instead of the Libra.

The Mark of the Beast is one thing, and a one-world currency called the Mark is another; but prophecy teachers have been linking the Mark of the Beast, tracking all buying and selling, and a one-world currency together for years.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2019/06/25/open-letter-to-mark-zuckerberg/?fbclid=IwAR1Cn2O9GYyIEetcXgQRlwTLikW2NX3TUOtiWI0Ac5_ZSiwD7fKrk3Oe3wo#74e503826149

The other new development came in early July 2019 when World Net Daily reported that about 30 public-interest groups have asked Congress to permanently or temporarily stop Facebook from creating a global currency.

According to these groups, a global currency will impact the sovereignty of nations, it will impact every person on earth, there will be privacy issues, corporate power issues, government control issues, money laundering issues, the role of the IMF, etc.

They believe it is dangerous for the U.S. to let Facebook create a global currency that will impact our national sovereignty and all of our citizens without any discussion in Congress.

Facebook is establishing a group of corporations called the Libra Association to manage the currency.

The Libra Association will be located in Switzerland because of that nation’s supposed global neutrality.

Facebook plans to issue its global currency in about a dozen nations in early 2020 (a global currency in a dozen nations perhaps less than one year from now).

Third, on July 5, 2019, it was reported that UNESCO has just made the ancient city of Babylon a World Heritage Site.

I have long believed that Babylon will be rebuilt and become the home of the one-world economic and religious systems during the Tribulation Period.

I am not predicting anything, but I will be watching to see if the Libra Association decides to locate the headquarters of their one-world currency (called the Mark???) at the World Heritage Site known as rebuilt Babylon.

I am in awe that a one-world currency may be on the horizon in the same year that the UN grants a global status to Babylon.

Fourth, I have also long believed that the Kurds will destroy rebuilt Babylon at the end of the Tribulation Period.

My last article mentioned that a delegation of Christian leaders, including some of Pres. Trump’s Faith Advisors, unofficially met with Kurdish military officials in Iraq.

The Kurds want to be an ally of the U.S., and they want the U.S. to give or sell them modern weapons.

The Christians that met with them promised to relay the message to Pres. Trump.

So, the Kurds, who may be the ones that destroy Babylon in one hour, are asking the U.S. for high-tech weapons in the same year that the UN grants a global status to Babylon; and that is roughly one generation after Israel has become a nation.

I don’t know what is going on, but it is as strange as hail in 80-degree weather.

Fifth, two small political parties that ran in Israel’s April 6, 2019, election failed to get enough votes to be included in the Israeli government.

Prime Min. Netanyahu won the election, but he couldn’t get enough support to form a new government; so he scheduled another vote.

Those two small political parties have decided to merge and run as one party in the September election.

One of their main issues will be to rebuild the Temple.

They believe their merger and support for rebuilding the Temple will easily get them enough votes to participate in the next Israeli government.

Several events happened in recent days that seem to suggest that the Master of the House (Jesus) is coming soon (Mark 13:34-37).

First, Kurdistan refers to the land of the Kurds (the ancient Medes).

In Old Testament times, it was part of the Assyrian Empire, then it was part of the Babylonian Empire, and then it was part of the Mede and Persian Empire.

Today, Kurdistan is divided up, and it is part of 4 nations: Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran.

I believe that Bible prophecy teaches that the Kurds will regain power at the end of the age.

Isaiah predicted that a highway will be built from Egypt through Israel and on to Assyria (Kurdistan) during the Millennium (Isa. 19:23-25) and the Lord will bless Egypt, Israel and Assyria in that day.

Isaiah and Jeremiah predicted that the spirit of the Medes (the Kurds) will destroy Babylon during the Tribulation Period (Isa. 13:9, 17-22; Jer. 51:11, 28).

John the Revelator said Babylon will be destroyed by fire in one hour (Rev. 18:8-10).

These prophecies will be fulfilled, but the Kurds need a strong military if they are going to do it.

There are about 40 million Kurds.

Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran are afraid of them, they oppress them, deny them modern weapons, etc.

In 2016, the Kurds in Iraq decided to schedule a national referendum to declare their independence from Iraq.

They didn’t establish the borders of a Kurdish state, but they believed the referendum would pass.

In 2017, they voted and it passed.

In 2018, Iraq and Iran attacked the Kurds at the city of Kirkuk.

The Kurds abandoned the city, but refused to renounce their vote for independence.

On June 27, 2019, it was reported that a delegation of Christian leaders, including some of Pres. Trump’s Faith Advisors, unofficially visited with Kurdish military officials in Iraq.

The Kurds suggested that, other than Israel, they are America’s only ally in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran (the four nations that oppress the Kurds).

They suggested that the U.S. needs the Kurds, and the Kurds would like to be an ally of the U.S. and a recipient of U.S. help.

These Christian leaders promised to relay the message to Pres. Trump.

Second, on June 21, 2019, a high-ranking diplomat from Saudi Arabia made several startling statements.

Among other things, in essence, he said it is time for a normalization of relations between Israel and the Arabs; the age of a war with Israel is over; the Arab world admires the success of Israel and wants to copy it; the Palestinian Authority is irresponsible for not even considering Pres. Trump’s peace proposal; and the status of Jerusalem and the holy sites is a solvable issue.

Notice that a peace treaty is possible, other nations are noticing Israel’s success (Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc., are noticing Israel’s silver and gold, etc.), and Saudi Arabia is lining up politically like it will be during the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Third, on June 25-26, 2019, Jared Kushner held a “Peace To Prosperity Workshop” in Bahrain to discuss the economic part of Pres. Trump’s “Deal of the Century” (proposed peace treaty).

Many world leaders, including some from Arab nations, were present.

Jared Kushner told the group, “We all agree on the following goals: We want to see peace, security, and prosperity for Palestinians, Israelis, and everyone else throughout the world.”

It is too early to say that this is the beginning of the covenant that the Antichrist will eventually confirm, but at a meeting of many world leaders, Jared Kushner said, in essence, everyone agrees that our goal is peace, security (peace and safety), and prosperity for the Palestinians, Israel and the whole world.

Know that the Rapture is before a 7-year covenant of peace with many, and when people say peace and safety, sudden destruction will come upon the world.

Fourth, following Jared Kushner’s workshop on Pres. Trump’s “Deal of the Century” at which he suggested spending $50 billion over ten years to improve the lives of the Palestinians, Jason Greenblatt, Pres. Trump’s Special Representative for International Negotiations,  said investors told him they could make it happen if the political part gets approved.

So, the money to build factories, roads, hospitals, etc., in Gaza is available if the political issues can be resolved (by a worthless peace treaty).

Fifth, on June 27, 2019, the UN held an international conference to discuss “Israel’s policies and measures aimed at changing the character of Jerusalem, which have significant political, legal and socio-economic ramifications.”

Isn’t that interesting? God will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for the whole world during the Tribulation Period (Zech. 12:2-3), and the UN (a global group) is disturbed about what is taking place in Jerusalem.

Sixth, on June 25, 2019, Amir Tsarfati reported that Russia’s economy is in trouble because of sanctions, and the number of Jewish immigrants from Russia to Israel has increased from about 400 per month to about 1,200 per month.

Russia’s economic problems and the immigration of Jews to Israel are signs of the latter days and latter years (Ezek. 38:8, 12).

Seventh, on June 27, 2019, it was reported that Israel believes Russia has been interfering with Israeli civilian aircraft GPS navigation systems for about three weeks (Russia denies it).

Considering what the Bible says about the Battle of Gog and Magog, it is not unreasonable to believe that Russia would want to interfere with aircraft GPS navigation systems in Israel.

Eighth, on June 16, 2019, the building caretaker at Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dan Davidson, dressed up as a drag queen called Sparkle Leigh.

Sparkle wore a purple dress, makeup and high heels.

Sparkle stood at the door off the church to greet people as they entered (It seems to me that Auburn is a church in name only).

During the children’s portion of the worship service, Sparkle went up on stage and read “The Story of Harvey Milk and The Rainbow Flag” (possibly the opposite of training up children in the way that they should go).

Sparkle could have read Scripture and shared a Bible Story with the Children (such as what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah), but Sparkle preferred to talk about Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag (days of Lot, departing from the faith, even worse, turning evil into good and flaunting it at church, etc.).

Literal events like this are why I believe the Master of the House is coming (and soon).
