On Feb. 6, 2023, Michael Snyder (theeconomiccollapseblog.com) posted an article titled “The Giant Earthquakes That We Just Witnessed in Turkey Are Just The Beginning.”

Snyder cited an Oregon State University (OSU) study by seismologist Tyler Metcalf that said, “a major earthquake in one part of the globe can cause large earthquakes in other parts of the globe.”

According to Snyder and the OSU study, the earthquakes in Turkey could be just the beginning of more earthquakes because large earthquakes often trigger other earthquakes.

I am not predicting more earthquakes in the coming days, but the Bible does teach that earthquakes will increase in frequency and intensity at the end of the age (called the beginning of sorrows; Matt. 24:3-8), and it does teach that the terminal generation will be able to see all the signs beginning to come to pass (Luke 21:28).

It is my opinion that the current generation of people is witnessing Tribulation Period events (world government, tracking all buying and selling, famine, earthquakes, pestilences, economic collapse, etc.) beginning to shape up.

It is just the beginning, but it seems obvious to many that study the subject.

(Note: On Feb. 7-8, 2023, starting one day after Snyder’s article, three small earthquakes struck Israel in 24 hours; 3.9, 3.4, and 3.4.)

(Note: On Feb. 7. 2023, Arab media reported that several small pieces of tile containing verses from the Koran fell off the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. They blamed Israel for not letting them make repairs to the structure.)

(Note: On Feb. 12, 2023, 6 days after the first earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the total number of deaths in both nations was approaching 35,000 and expected to exceed 50,000. The destruction of thousands of houses and buildings was making it difficult for survivors to find food, water, shelter, fuel, and electricity, and the destruction of roads and bridges was making it difficult for people to get aid to them. Dissatisfaction over the pace of recovery was leading to rioting in some places. Make your salvation sure, and be thankful for what you have. Many people went to bed not knowing they would not be alive the next day. Many others lost everything they had, including loved ones, in a matter of minutes.)

Here is more on the signs of His Coming.

One, concerning immorality, perversion, and reprobate minds at the end of the age: on Feb. 7, 2023, it was reported that Finland has amended the nation’s transgender laws to allow citizens that are 18 or over to legally change their gender once a year.

Why am I getting the impression that there is no end to this kind of thinking?

As I see it, allowing people to legally change their gender every 12 months will make it impossible for everyone to call them by their preferred gender.

How can anyone change their gender in one day?

Two, on Feb. 8, 2023, it was reported that this spring, two groups in the Church of England will meet to explore “the use of gender-neutral terms when referring to God.”

A spokesperson said God has not changed, God is neither male nor female, but the Church has not done a good job of using inclusive language.

As far as I am concerned, the Scriptures were written by holy men of God who wrote what God told them to write (II Pet. 1:21).

Changing just one word to soothe people’s feelings will be just the beginning of changing other things in the Bible (II Tim. 4:3-4).

Three, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Feb. 3, 2023, worthynews.com posted an excellent article by retired Israeli Col. Jacques Neriah.

According to the article, a pre-emptive Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is no longer a “maybe” for Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu.

It is a matter of “when” to do it and how much preparation is needed.

Israel must prepare for:

• An Iranian counterattack with missiles and drones from many locations.
• An attack by Iranian troops near the Golan Heights in Syria.
• An attack by Hezbollah with thousands of rockets and troops in Lebanon.
• An attack by Hamas and the Palestinians in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
• Attacks on Jewish sites all over the world, on oil and gas wells in the Mediterranean Sea, and on Israeli ships in various parts of the world.

Some big questions include Israel’s ability to permanently destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, the help of Arab neighbors that fear Iran, and U.S. support.

Four, concerning the desert blooming in Israel during the Millennium: I recently wrote that Israel has built several desalination plants, has filled the Sea of Galilee, and would soon double the amount of water it sells to Jordan.

On Feb. 7, 2023, it was reported that the rains have arrived in most of Israel, including Jerusalem and the desert areas of the south.

The water level in the Sea of Galilee is now less than six inches from the red line at which water must be released, or there will be flooding along the shoreline.

More rain, including snow in the mountains, is forecast for the coming week.

Five, concerning world government: I recently wrote that there were two globalist meetings in Jan. 2023 (The WHO International Health Regulations Review Committee, IHRRC, and the WEF Annual Meeting) that submitted proposals to be voted on at the upcoming WHO Assembly Meeting in May.

I wrote that Dr. Francis Boyle, Prof. of Law at the Univ. of IL, studied those proposals and said they will set up a worldwide totalitarian medical and scientific police state and that every nation on earth could lose their national sovereignty if those proposals are approved.

One very dangerous aspect of those proposals is that the International Health Regulations (IHRs) will be changed from “non-binding” to “legally binding,” and WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus will be empowered to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, whether there is a real one or not, just by saying that the “potential” for one exists.

This is extremely important because, on Feb. 8, 2023, Ghebreyesus warned during a virtual briefing that the H5N1 bird flu virus could become a global pandemic and “potentially” infect humans.

If the IHRs become “legally binding” global laws in May, the only thing that is needed for one man to take over the medical and scientific sovereignty of every nation on earth is for Ghebreyesus to declare that the potential exists for the bird flu (or monkeypox or anything else) to become a global pandemic.

Six, concerning world government: on Feb. 13, 2023, about 10,000 globalists from 150 nations started meeting at the World Government Summit 2023 under the guise of “Shaping Future Governments.”

There were 220 sessions that included discussions of:

• The Challenges of Sustainable Development
• Climate Change
• Global Financial Policies
• The International Economy
• The Future of Healthcare, etc.

Elon Musk, Founder of SpaceX, participated in a discussion of the main issues that concern the world.

Klaus Schwab, Founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), discussed the state of the world (including the future world economy and the future of society).

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), discussed the transition to digital healthcare and WHO efforts to eliminate epidemics and chronic diseases.

(Note: After writing about this meeting, I almost deleted it because it doesn’t tell you very much, but I decided that 10,000 globalists from 150 nations plotting to change the world’s economy, healthcare, the future of society, etc., is noteworthy.)

Seven, concerning world government: on Feb. 9, 2023, Poland’s Prime Min. said, “Poland is ready to take co-responsibility for shaping the New World Order.”

He called for more international help for Ukraine and opposed a ceasefire in Ukraine’s war with Russia.

I ask,

• Why would he say this?
• What does Russia’s war with Ukraine have to do with the shape of the New World Order?

My answer,

• I believe it is about which regional group Ukraine will be in.
• The EU wants Ukraine in its group, but Putin wants Ukraine in Russia’s group.
• Poland wants Ukraine to be in the EU.

(FYI: Note: be aware that Poland is opposing a ceasefire, that Ukraine is rejecting peace talks, and that war and rumors of war continue in Ukraine.)

Eight, concerning world government: in an interview titled “English journalist James Delingpole speaks to LifeSiteNews about Covid jabs, globalists, and God,” on Feb. 10, 2023, it was reported that Delingpole, a famous writer for several major publications, accused shadowy figures in governments, the media, and Big Pharma of colluding to impose the Babylonian slave system upon the world (make everyone on earth a slave to a very narrow group of controllers).

Delingpole talked about his salvation during this time of global upheaval, he said the things that are going on are part of God’s plan, he said people can oppose the cashless society by using cash, and he encouraged the informed to expose the globalist plan to as many people as possible.

(My opinion: This famous writer, Delingpole, is a very wise man because he realized that this time of global upheaval is leading to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and he let it motivate him to improve His relationship with God through Jesus.)

Nine, concerning one world government and the tracking of everyone: on Feb. 10, 2023, it was reported that the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) proposed International Pandemic Treaty calls for:

• A “One Health” global surveillance system to monitor and control diseases.
• The 194 nations that belong to the WHO to be required to recognize the WHO’s authority over global health issues.
• The WHO to be allowed to impose its requirements upon all member nations.

Ten, concerning world government, tracking everyone, and reducing the population of the earth: on Feb. 10, 2023, it was reported that a World Health Organization (WHO) official called for:

• A strengthened WHO global surveillance system.
• Standardized global medical care.
• Everyone on earth that is 60 years old or older with an immunocompromised system (weakened immune system) to receive booster shots.
• To require everyone that is at risk (everyone with underlying conditions, healthcare workers, etc.) to be vaccinated.
• To put patients that are hospitalized with Covid-19 on ventilators (which often terminates their life).

Eleven, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Feb. 11, 2023, Ukrainian Pres. Zelensky said Ukraine wants to be a member of the EU, not Russia, and he pleaded with the EU to give him more weapons, including fighter jets.

The EU has not done it for fear that the war will spread.

The next day, Feb. 12, 2023, Russia responded by launching a barrage of more than 50 missiles at Ukraine.

(Note: On Feb. 13, 2023, it was reported that the U.S. has informed all U.S. citizens living or traveling in Russia to leave immediately and to exercise caution because Russian security services are arresting U.S. citizens on spurious charges.)

Twelve, with Ash Wednesday looming (the beginning of a season of repentance in Catholic and some Protestant churches; Feb. 22, 2023, this year), Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano delivered a sermon that strikes me as amazing.

Here is my understanding of Vigano’s main points:

• This world is sinking into the abyss of evil (violence, slaughter, immorality, etc., some of which is proposed and celebrated by leaders, the media, and even some in the church).
• People need to prepare for what is coming (Jesus called it the time of tribulation) by getting saved.
• Watch out for false teachers that are promoting the globalist agenda, especially Pope Francis.
• Those who promote a New World Order are like the people on the Titanic who were drunk, dancing, and carefree while the ship was moving at full speed toward an iceberg that they did not think could sink it.
• Pope Francis is an enemy of God because he has abandoned the message of salvation and deliverance from the coming tribulation to push the New World Order.
• Even though things are getting scary, even though world leaders, the media, and some in the Church have strayed, salvation was purchased for believers by the death of Jesus on the cross, God is in control, and the Church will escape the coming tribulation that humankind is bringing upon itself.

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.

On Jan. 26, 2023, Tim Moore, CEO and Senior Evangelist at Lamb & Lion Ministries, wrote that Dr. David Reagan (founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries) met a man that said he wished he could live in biblical times.

Moore wrote that Reagan replied, “You do! You do live in biblical times! Open your eyes and see!”

The Bible teaches that:

• Only God knows the day or the hour of our Lord’s return (Matt. 24:36).
• Those who watch can know when it is near (Luke 21:28).
• Those who watch can see the day approaching (Heb. 10:25).

According to the Bible, Jesus will come to this earth twice (called the first coming as a Lamb and a Second Coming as a Lion).

The Scriptures record hundreds of prophecies about the first coming of Jesus and hundreds more about the Second Coming of Jesus.

I had the great honor of being interviewed by Tim Moore, David Reagan, and Nathan Jones on Lamb & Lion’s Christ in Prophecy TV program a few years ago, and they seemed fascinated when I told them my grandson was interviewed on a TCT-TV program discussing the Book of Revelation when he was eight years old.

My grandson was asked if adults can understand the Book of Revelation, and his reply was, “If an eight-year-old kid can understand the Book of Revelation, an adult can understand it.”

Paul said, “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty” (I Cor. 1:27).

There are thousands of people with multiple degrees that God could have chosen for that TCT-TV interview discussing the Book of Revelation, but He chose an eight-year-old boy.

Reagan got it right, “You do live in biblical times! Open your eyes and see!”

(Note: Today, there are plenty of resources available for a person to get a good understanding of most of the Book of Revelation, IF THEY WANT TO).

Here are a few signs that we are living in biblical times today.

One, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Jan. 31, 2023, it was reported that U.S. Sec. of State, Antony Blinken, visited Israel and said Russia and Iran are on a “two-way street.”

Blinken said, “Russia is supplying sophisticated weapons to Iran,” and Iran is supplying drones to Russia to “kill innocent Ukrainian civilians.”

These two nations, which were once enemies, are constantly growing closer together, just as the Bible says.

Two, also concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: Israel has been sending supplies (blankets, first aid supplies, ambulances, etc.) to Ukraine but not weapons because Russia has troops and weapons in Syria that could be used to retaliate against Israel.

When U.S. Sec. of State Antony Blinken visited Israel on Jan. 31, 2023, Blinken urged Israel to do more to support the security of Ukraine.

On Feb. 2, 2023, Russia warned Israel against arming Ukraine.

A Russian spokesperson said, “Any attempts – implemented or even unrealized but announced for the supply of additional, new or some other weapons – lead and will lead to an escalation of this crisis. And everyone should be aware of this.”

It is interesting that Bible prophecy says Israel will have a great army at the end of the age, and the U.S. is asking Israel to do more to support Ukraine.

Why does NATO, the U.S. military, the EU, and Ukraine need Israel’s help?

Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: Muslims have stepped up terrorist attacks in Israel, and Israel has stepped up its retaliation.

Violence is escalating, and the possibility of war is growing.

Four, concerning population control and abortion (the murder of children): on Jan. 30, 2023, U.S. Sec. of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, said government looks for scientists and professionals that can give them a reason to declare emergencies.

Becerra said he is considering the possibility of declaring a public health emergency to promote abortion.

At the World Health Organization Assembly meeting on May 21-30, 2023, there will be a vote to make recent World Economic Forum (WEF) proposals global law.

If approved, one of those proposals will empower the head of the WHO (Director Gen. Tedros) to declare emergencies and regulate the healthcare of everyone on earth.

If one individual, such as Becerra or Tedros, is empowered to declare emergencies to promote a political agenda, the U.S. and the world will soon be subjected to the political agenda of the Antichrist.

Five, concerning a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and tracking all buying and selling: in an article on the Exposé site on Feb. 3, 2023, Rhoda Wilson wrote, “The ‘pandemic’ may be over, but the agenda behind the unleashing of one or more deadly poisons and diseases and an even deadlier ‘cure’ is not. The Great Reset is moving forward, and if the populations of Western countries do not wake up, the final part of the central control grid may snap into place – the rollout of digital identities and CBDCs.”

(My opinion: Globalists are taking a 14-year (2016-2030 or sooner) step-by-step approach toward world government. They pass a few global laws in one week, wait and pass a few more global laws, wait, and pass a few more global laws, etc. They restrict the use of thousands of acres of land in one week, wait and restrict the use of thousands of acres of more land, wait, and do it again. It is like the myth of slowly raising the temperature of water on a frog in a pot. If you put the frog in hot water, he will jump out, but if you put the frog in tepid water and slowly raise the temperature, he will sit in the water until it kills him. Globalists are incrementally moving toward the New World Order and hoping that people won’t wake up until it is too late.).

Six, concerning CBDCs: the idea of the world going to a basket full of currencies first and eventually settling on a one-world currency has been around for more than 40 years (Google it).

In 2013, I wrote a book called God Has Spoken (And We Know It).

There were two more printings, but in the first printing, I wrote the following:

• On March 19, 2009, the UN Commission of Experts on International Financial Reform suggested that the world drop the dollar as its Federal Reserve Currency. This panel (not prophecy buffs or religious nuts) wants to replace the dollar with a “basket of currencies” called “shared reserve currencies.” The intermediate goal of this panel is the creation of ten regional currencies or ten shared reserve currencies, but the ultimate goal is a one-world currency.

In Dec. 2015, Paul McGuire wrote the following in an article titled “MEGA DATA: WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING IN 2015”:

• Now we add another major economic trend, the BRICS nations attempting to replace the dollar as the world’s currency with a new world currency composed of a basket of competing currencies.

Having said this, let’s fast forward to Feb. 4, 2023, and an article by Zero Hedge titled, “A Dollar Collapse is Now in Motion, Saudi Arabia Signals The End of ‘Petro Status.’”

According to Zero Hedge:

• Globalist white papers and essays specifically outline the need for a diminished role for the U.S. currency as well as a decline in the American economy in order to make way for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and a new global currency system controlled by the IMF.

While globalists plot and plan for the end of the U.S. dollar and a single currency made up of a basket of digital currencies controlled by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bible tells us that would only be temporary.

When he arrives on the world stage, Antichrist, indwelt by Satan, and the False Prophet will seize control of the global political system (Revelation 13:4), the global religious system (Revelation 13:11), and the global economic system (Revelation 13:16-18).

All three are being rebuilt to accommodate the final government.

Currently, 10 nations have launched a CBDC, and more than 100, including the U.S., are exploring their use of them.

I am not prophesying, but I believe the Bible teaches that the world will merge into 10 regions (10 groups of nations; called Regionalization) with 10 leaders (called the Ten Kings).

The Bible does not say this, but I would not be surprised if world leaders settle on 10 CBDCs (a basket of 10 digital currencies because more than 100 is too many).

As I understand it, after some initial rebellion by 3 leaders, God will cause the Ten Kings to merge their 10 regions, 10 militaries, and 10 currencies into a one-world government with one CBDC to fulfill His Word.

Will the Rapture be before the Ten Kings rise, after the Ten Kings rise, or at some point in between?

We don’t know, but I believe some of them could soon start coming onto the scene.

Seven, concerning potential corruption and betrayal of the U.S. in the Biden administration: on Feb. 4, 2023, it was reported that Sen. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, has notified Biden’s Climate Change Czar, John Kerry, that he is under investigation for secret negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party that undermine the economic well-being of the U.S.

The committee has asked Kerry to supply relevant documents and accused him of failing to respond.

Eight, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age, on Feb. 6, 2023 (Turkish time), a 7.8 earthquake (followed by a 6.7 aftershock about ten minutes later, and a 5.8 aftershock about an hour later) struck while people were sleeping at about 4 a.m. on a cold, snowy night about 20 miles from a major Turkish city.

Initial reports said many buildings have collapsed, more than 1,300 people have been killed, hundreds (perhaps thousands) more are trapped, the earthquake was felt in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt, and the aftershocks keep coming.

Hospitals, healthcare facilities, and medical and rescue workers are overwhelmed.

(More: At 1:24 p.m., following the first earthquake and aftershocks, a 7.5 earthquake struck. Statistics from the first earthquake were up to more than 1,300 killed, at least 5,383 injured, and more than 2,800 buildings destroyed. The report also said at least 473 people have been killed and more than 3,000 injured in Syria. Several nations, including Israel, are sending help.)

(More: On Feb. 8, 2023, the Associated Press (AP) reported that the death toll had topped 11,000 and was expected to keep climbing. There have been 120 significant aftershocks, at least 6,000 buildings have been destroyed, including hospitals, thousands of people need to be rescued, and 380,000 people are in shelters and hotels. A different report said the World Health Organization is predicting that the death toll could reach 20,000, and a third report said people are working in freezing temperatures, and time is running out.)

(Latest update as of Feb. 11: The death toll has surpassed 28,000.)

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.
