In the summer of 2022, a group of scientists and professionals connected to the study of the climate started seeking signatures on a document that states that there is no climate emergency.

Climate change supporters quickly started saying the document is “anti-science,” “the work of uninformed people,” “untruthful,” and things like that.

On Aug. 16, 2023, The New American reported that now more than 1,600 scientists and professionals, including two Nobel Prize winners and experts from MIT, Princeton, and other notable institutions around the world, have signed the document.

Some of the things in the document these universally recognized men signed are (in their words and mine):

• Climate change is a war over opinions, not scientific facts.
• To believe the outcome of climate models that climate change supporters are using is to believe the information that they put into their models and their use of faulty information to justify their opinions and motives is the problem.
• Today’s weather extremes are mostly the result of natural factors that are as old as our planet. The weather has always gone through cycles, and the extremes today are not the result of an increase in greenhouse gases.
• Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but it is essential to life, the greening of our planet, and the production of food.
• Climate change supporters try to silence opposition because they are espousing an approved narrative, not facts.

One signer of the document, Dr. H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute, said, “Most (supporters of climate change) are profiting in terms of money or power from the so-called climate crisis.”

Nobel Prize-winner Clauser Signs “There Is No Climate Emergency” Declaration – The New American

If these distinguished scientists are right, those that are shutting down jobs in the coal, gas, and oil industries; trying to force citizens to buy electric vehicles, walk to work, or ride a bicycle; trying to force citizens to go hungry, starve, or eat bugs, crickets, worms, and fake meat; trying to censor the truth; putting citizens off their farms and out of business; killing cattle, etc., for money or power should be prosecuted.

(More: On Aug. 17, 2023, it was reported that Patrick Moore, Co-founder of Greenpeace, said achieving net zero in carbon emissions “is a death wish in disguise.” He added that “if we actually achieve net zero, at least 50 percent of the population would die of hunger and disease.” One aspect of the plan to achieve net zero involves a reduction in the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, but a reduction in the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers will result in a reduction in food production and an increase in hunger, starvation, famine, and pestilence as in the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.)

(My opinion: The main goal of the most powerful climate change supporters is to establish a godless New World Order. Another goal is to reduce the population of the earth. We are truly living in perilous times when deceit and the wickedness of man is great, as foretold by Jesus and Paul, and as it was in the days of Noah.)

Here are some recent current events that seem to indicate that history is close to the Rapture and Tribulation Period.

One, concerning climate change: in an interview on Aug. 14, 2023, Alberta, Canada Premier Danielle Smith was asked if climate change is the cause of “the unusually rampant wildfire season in Alberta this year.”

Smith replied, “All I know is in my province, we have 650 fires, and 500 of them were human-caused.”

I don’t know who is doing it, but I find it interesting that Canada’s globalist puppet Prime Min. Trudeau wants to pass a bill to make Canada’s power grid carbon neutral by 2050, Smith opposes it, someone has started a lot of fires in her province, and it is often blamed on climate change.

(FYI: I have seen several articles and a video suggesting that the wildfire in Maui was deliberately set because globalists want the property to turn the city into a 15-minute city, and the owners would not sell. According to the reports, destroying the houses and businesses allows the government to seize the property for their Build Back Better campaign.

There have been complaints that the fire sirens never sounded; firefighters were called off and told the fire was under control; some citizens started protecting their property by watering it down, and then the water was suddenly turned off; police set up roadblocks that caused traffic jams and prevented people from escaping; some citizens jumped into the ocean, but the police boats were not used to rescue them; children were sent home from school to empty houses with no parents and some died; people sent food and supplies to help the victims, but the government hasn’t delivered some of them, etc.

Why would officials silence the sirens, call off the firefighters, turn off the water, block the roads, not rescue people during a fire, and not deliver aid to the victims? These questions need to be answered. On Aug. 21, 2023, it was reported that 850 people are still missing; the number of confirmed deaths is 114, and still increasing.)

Two, concerning Jerusalem: in his Aug. 10-17 weekly newsletter, Bible prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said Israel’s Foreign Ministry has announced that Paraguay will open its embassy in Jerusalem this year.

Three, Concerning Jewish worship on the Temple Mount: on Aug. 8, 2023, a group of Jewish rabbis and former members of the Israeli Knesset sent a letter to the Israeli Min. of National Security requesting that they be allowed to blow the shofar (a trumpet made from a ram’s horn) and pray on the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah (sundown Sept. 16 to sundown Sept. 18 in Israel this year).

Blowing the shofar and praying are mandated in the Torah (Num. 29:1).

Here is a link to the article:

Advocacy group petitions Ben-Gvir to blow shofar on Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah – Israel365 News

(FYI: I do not know if it is true, but I have read that some scholars believe Abraham made the first shofar from one of the ram’s horns that he sacrificed on Mt. Moriah as a substitute for his only begotten son Isaac; Gen. 22:11-18. That story is real, but it is a picture of the future substitutionary death and resurrection of Jesus. Also, be aware that Mt. Moriah and the Temple Mt. are one and the same.)

(FYI: God told the Jews to observe seven feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Weeks or Pentecost, Atonement, and Tabernacles; Lev. 23. The first three feasts picture the gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The fourth feast pictures the beginning of the Church: Pentecost. Some, not all, believe the last three feasts – Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles – picture the Rapture, Second Coming, and Millennium.)

(FYI: Some believe Ex. 19:1-19 pictures the Rapture, and the voice of a trumpet that sounded long and waxed louder and louder pictures the last trump at the Rapture; I Cor. 15:51-52.)

(Caution: A few excellent Bible prophecy teachers are cautiously expressing their opinion that they believe the Rapture could—could—not will—happen on Rosh Hashanah in Sept. of this year. All the signs are beginning to come to pass, and I hope it does, but be careful because we do not know that it will. It may, and it may not. I like what the great Liberty Univ. Professor Dr. Ed Hindson used to say: Do not waste your time trying to guess the time. Jesus can come anytime, so be ready all the time.)

Four, concerning the Mark of the Beast and tracking of all buying and selling: it was recently reported that the New York Mets and the Cleveland Guardians (formerly the Cleveland Indians) baseball teams have started using face scans and digital IDs for entry into their home baseball games.

And the Philadelphia Phillies will start using them on Aug. 21, 2023.

According to the report, if enough fans voluntarily sign up for Philadelphia’s face scan and ID system, the program will become mandatory at every MLB park in the next couple of years, and fans will not be allowed to attend games unless they are in it.

Five, concerning deceit and the decline of America: on Aug. 19, 2023, it was reported that the U.S. had more than three hundred million dollars worth of supplies that the Trump administration bought with taxpayer money to build a wall on America’s border with Mexico.

In July 2023, the U.S. Senate (Republicans and Democrats) passed a bill to force the Biden administration to use the supplies or give them to states like Texas to build a wall.

Next, the bill must be passed in the Republican-led house before it can go into effect, and that seems to be a done deal.

However, the Biden administration started selling the supplies for pennies on the dollar before he is forced to build more wall or let the states build more wall.

Our open border allows the terrorists, drug cartels, sex traffickers, criminals, and spies to keep coming, and Biden continues to say our border is secure.

Six, Concerning the Antichrist confirming (strengthening) a seven-year covenant that will begin the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27): it is looking more and more like that is shaping up.

For one thing, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 18-19 to push world leaders to commit to “seven years of accelerated, sustained, and transformative action, both nationally and internationally, to deliver on the promise of the SDGs” (Sustainable Development Goals that are in essence the creation of a world government).

In my words, Guterres wants world leaders to agree (to make a covenant) to speed up the development of a world government by making more and faster changes over the next seven years.

In addition to that, many Bible prophecy teachers believe the Abraham Accords could lead to a covenant of peace in the Middle East, but Saudi Arabia must become a member, and Israel must make some concessions to Palestinians for that to happen.

It is now being reported that the Biden administration wants to conclude a deal by March 2024 (or at least in the next 9-12 months), is pushing Saudi Arabia and Israel to act, and some favorable comments have come out of both sides.

To summarize, the UN (many) wants a seven-year agreement for the establishment of a world government, and Israel and Saudi Arabia may be making progress on normalizing their relations at some point in 2024.

(My opinion: It seems very unlikely that these two major things would be taking place at the same time unless history is getting close to the confirmation of the seven-year covenant.)

(FYI: Understand that the UN voting to commit to bringing in a world government in seven years is one thing, and the Antichrist confirming (or strengthening) an existing seven-year covenant is another thing. The UN can vote for it in Sept., but the Antichrist can sign it any time during the seven years or later.)

Seven, concerning a population reduction on earth: on Aug. 17, 2023, it was reported that an Oxford Univ. professor with ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF) said falling birthrates in the West are “good for the planet.”

The False Prophet and Antichrist will reduce the population of the earth during the Tribulation Period by beheading those that refuse to take the Mark of the Beast.

Eight, concerning the decline of America: many Christians know that God promised to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel (Gen. 12:1-3).

On Aug. 18, 2023, it was reported that candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination for Pres. of the U.S., Vivek Ramaswamy, promised to cut back on America’s aid to Israel if he is elected Pres.

America’s attitude toward Israel impacts God’s attitude toward America.

Nine, concerning the days of Lot: on June 16, 2023, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought in “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” (a group of transgender men that pretend to be Catholic nuns, mock the Church, mock the resurrection of Jesus, etc.) to celebrate Dodger Pride Night at the baseball stadium.

On Aug. 20, 2023, a 5.1 earthquake and several aftershocks struck just north of Los Angeles, and an exceedingly rare tropical storm (the first to strike So. Cal. in 84 years) dumped heavy rain on California, flood water surrounded the stadium, and the Dodgers game with the Miami Marlins could not be played.

One writer called the earthquakes, tropical storm, flooding, and resulting mudslides “Biblical.”

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

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.

The word “Revelation” (as in the book of Revelation) comes from the Greek word “apokalupsis.”

It means “the uncovering, the unveiling, or the disclosing.”

“Revelation” is the disclosing of Jesus Christ.

It can be taken two ways: 1) as the disclosing of the person called Jesus, or 2) as the disclosing of what He intends to do.

Since the book of Revelation begins with the words “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” and most of the book of Revelation (chapters 6-19) is about the terrible things that will take place during the coming Tribulation Period, many commentators refer to that coming seven-year period as the “Apocalypse.”

As I am writing this (on Aug. 10, 2023), wildfires are devastating Hawaii’s main island (Maui).

Early this morning (on Aug. 10), it was reported that 53 people have died, more than 1,700 buildings have been destroyed, hospitals are overwhelmed, the air people breathe is polluted with smoke, thousands of people have been removed from the island, thousands of people are unaccounted for, cell-phones are not working, people can’t call 911 for help, thousands on the island don’t have electricity, some waded into the ocean to keep from being burned to death, and the numbers will probably keep rising.

Officials, residents, and witnesses are saying things like apocalyptic, catastrophic, decimated, shocking, looks like someone dropped a big bomb, etc.

I have no problem with the use of these words.

Pres. Biden has signed a declaration of disaster, and I cannot imagine how awful it is.

But people need to know that the coming Apocalypse (Tribulation Period) will be a billion times worse.

Following the seven seal judgments (the rise of the Antichrist, wars, famine, pestilences, etc.):

• Hail, fire, and blood will destroy one-third of the plants on earth (Rev. 8:7).
• Something like a great burning mountain will crash into a sea and destroy one-third of the sea creatures and ships (Rev. 8:8-9).
• A burning star will fall upon the earth and pollute one-third of the fresh water (Rev. 8:10-11).
• The sun, moon, and stars will be struck and darkened (Rev. 8:12).
• Satan will release demon-possessed locusts on earth, and they will torment the wicked (Rev. 9:1-12).
• Fire, smoke, and brimstone will kill one-third of the people on earth (Rev. 9:13-21).
• And there will still be seven bowls of God’s wrath to be dumped (Rev. 11:15-12:12).

Jesus said, “Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt. 24:22).

Just like it was on the island of Maui, calling 911 or wading out into the ocean will not stop the “Apocalypse,” but know that those that have truly accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will not be on earth when the Apocalypse takes place.

(Note: On Aug. 13, 2023, it was reported that the death toll has risen to 93, and the search for people that did not survive is continuing. This is now the highest death toll on record for a natural disaster in Hawaii.)

(Note: On Aug. 15, 2023, it was reported that the UK’s King Charles extended his deepest possible sympathies to the families of victims, former Pres. Trump offered his sympathy and warmest regards to the victims, and Pres. Biden said, “No comment.” Biden is being criticized for showing no signs of sympathy.)

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the saved will soon be evacuated (Raptured) from planet Earth, and the Apocalypse (Tribulation Period) will begin.

One, concerning homosexuality and the days of Lot at the end of the age: earlier this year (May 2023, I think), the Ugandan parliament passed a bill to protect families, children, and others from people pushing homosexuality upon them.

The law does not outlaw homosexuality, but it outlaws people trying to force homosexuality upon others (Christians, children, and students).

As might be expected, the Biden administration strongly objected to protecting Christians and children from the LGBTQ+ group and threatened to cut aid to Uganda if the nation’s president signed the bill.

Pres. Museveni signed the bill anyway, and the World Bank notified Uganda that it was freezing all loans to his nation.

On Aug. 10, 2023, Museveni told Ugandans his nation will not abandon its faith, culture, principles, or sovereignty for money.

Uganda will do what is best for its citizens with or without the money.

America desperately needs leaders that will put its Judeo-Christian heritage above the gay agenda and not try to force its immorality on others.

Two, concerning deceit and a population reduction at the end of the age: on Aug. 11, 2023, it was reported that a U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ) attorney representing the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in a case before the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said doctors do have the authority to prescribe Ivermectin for the treatment of Covid.

Readers will recall that during the Covid crisis, the FDA discouraged the use of Ivermectin and contended that using it was medically irresponsible.

According to the report, now a “large body of accumulated studies has found it (Ivermectin) to be irrefutably highly effective for treating Covid when given early and with the correct protocol.”

According to the report, during the Covid Crisis, officials knew more about the safety and effectiveness of Ivermectin than they knew about the safety and effectiveness of the Covid vaccine, but they discouraged the use of Ivermectin and promoted use of the Covid vaccine, which is now known to be unsafe and ineffective in many cases.

Because of the deceit and the globalist desire to reduce the population of the earth, many medical workers were fired, many were blasphemed and censored, and many people died that were not allowed to receive this proven “irrefutably highly effective” treatment.

A lot of people have blood on their hands.

Why do so many people ignore the fact that Bible prophecy teaches that government officials will deceive and kill multitudes during the Apocalypse?

Three, concerning deceit and a population reduction at the end of the age: on Aug. 11, 2023, it was reported that a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report says 120,000 children in the U.S. have died suddenly following an mRNA vaccination for Covid.

One must wonder why Biden and Fauci were saying the vaccination is safe and effective for all ages when so many children were dying.

(Note: According to Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, no one in the world will be safe if everyone is not vaccinated.)

Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog (Ezek. 38-39) in the latter days and latter years: on Aug. 12, 2023, it was reported that an intelligence document based on information gathered by Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany concluded that Iran may soon test a nuclear weapons device.

According to a senior researcher in Israel, Iran probably views U.S. and EU policy toward her as weak, passive and unintimidating, which serves as a motivation to continue her development and testing of nuclear weapons.

(Note: On Aug. 13, 2023, it was reported that Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu canceled his upcoming vacation, stayed in Jerusalem, and called an unplanned security meeting to discuss Israel’s preparedness for war since some reservists are refusing to serve. There is widespread disagreement over Israel’s readiness for war and who is responsible for the reservists refusing to serve. Understand that Israel’s safety is in God’s hands, and her enemies would be wise to back off.)

Five, concerning the spirit of antichrist and the persecution of believers at the end of the age: during the so-called Covid pandemic, several churches in Canada were fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for refusing to limit church attendance.

The churches sued, their case went all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court, and on Aug. 11, 2023, the Court refused to hear their suit.

Believers should understand that giving unbelievers the authority to determine what is a pandemic, when it begins, when it ends, and the authority to control every aspect of people’s lives during a pandemic will eventually cost believers their freedom to assemble, speak and worship.

It will impact if they can meet, how many can meet, where they meet, what their preacher can say, how disobedience will be punished, and more.

Six, concerning the coming cashless society and the Mark of the Beast at the middle of the Tribulation Period: on July 18, 2023, it was reported that Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “If I am the President, on day one we will nix Central Bank Digital Currency. Done. Dead. Not happening in this country.”

DeSantis got Florida to pass a law that refuses use of a CBDC.

He hopes to prevent the Biden administration from using an executive order to force a CBDC on U.S. citizens and to require Biden to go through Congress if he wants to establish one in the U.S.

(Note: On July 25, 2023, it was reported that Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) called upon Congress to ban and criminalize CBDCs. If that has happened, I am not aware of it.)

Seven, concerning the coming cashless society and Mark of the Beast at the middle of the Tribulation Period: on July 25, 2023, it was reported that Russian Pres. Putin approved the use of a digital ruble (Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC) for money transfers.

The digital ruble will not replace existing forms of money, the money citizens have in the bank will not be converted to digital rubles, no one will be forced to use digital rubles, and it will take 2-3 years before the use of digital rubles is widespread.

Eight, concerning the coming cashless society and Mark of the Beast during the Tribulation Period: on Aug. 11, 2023, it was reported that four major banks in Australia have stopped allowing customers to withdraw cash from their bank accounts in preparation for a switch to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

So, what comes next? Customers must spend their money by a certain date or lose it, accounts will be seized if customers do not espouse the government narrative, etc., etc.?

Nine, concerning wickedness (corruption) in crime-ridden Washington, D.C.: on Aug. 15, 2023, a federal appeals court ruled that Washington, D.C. was discriminating against citizens because the police arrested pro-life protestors for writing chalk messages on sidewalks, but the police never arrested Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors for writing chalk messages on sidewalks, spray painting messages on public property, private property, etc.

(My opinion: The laws in the U.S. should be equally enforced, and the illegal activities of some groups should not be overlooked because of their race, gender, or the fact that they support corrupt politicians.)

Ten, concerning wickedness (corruption): on Aug. 14, 2023, Gov. Mike Huckabee posted the following:

• The watchdog group OpenTheBooks just released about 1,500 unredacted pandemic-era records showing that the leaders of the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, including Dr. Fauci (already the highest-paid “public servant” in DC), made over $325 million in profits off of COVID-19. NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci “got 58 royalty payments for allowing companies to use their COVID-19 vaccines, which in return (were) developed with funding from U.S. taxpayers by private pharmaceutical firms.”

Eleven, concerning deceit: in Canada, a biological man that calls himself a woman and competes against women in weight-lifting competitions keeps defeating his female opponents.

Some women have stopped competing because they know they do not have a chance and the truth does not matter.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

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.
