The world is groaning in every category, and it lacks a leader. Biden, Macron, Trudeau, et al, have all demonstrated behavior that resembles the Keystone Kops. So what’s ahead?

I hear from a lot of people! Here are some of the scenarios they see playing out in the near term. They can’t all be right, but here’s a brief run-down of what many suggest is ahead of us. You may disagree with one or all points, but millions of people believe one of the following scenarios will play out.

1) A great awakening is coming. A tremendous revival. The days of Joel 2:28 are coming when God pours out His Spirit upon all people. This will precede the Rapture of the Church.

2) God is long-suffering and patient and wants all to be saved; thus, we have decades left to share the gospel and rescue the lost. Let’s occupy until He comes and not be so heavenly-minded that we are no earthly good. We’ve heard about the Lord’s return for decades, yet nothing happens.

3) In America, the forthcoming elections in 2022 and 2024 are going to turn America around. We can and will make America great again. Prosperity will return. Life will go back to normal. With the right people in office, earthly government works.

4) The Church is being perfected and tried by fire. But she will prevail, and the Church will correct the problems on this planet, fulfilling “On earth as it is in Heaven.” The Church will have dominion over the whole earth, and then Christ can return. (Kingdom Now/Dominion Theology)

World Governments Are Collapsing

Sorry, folks, but points one through four are not what I see outlined in the Bible! World governments are in a predicted state of collapse thanks to the meddling of the globalists. They are causing instability, famine, war, poverty, and obsessing on the fake news called climate change.

The capitals of the world are preparing for the Antichrist and are taking directions from the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Harari, Bill Gates, and other globalists who delight in trampling on the people. They are acting as lawless and reckless as is every leftist in Washington, D.C., and the right isn’t pushing back!

Living When Truth Does Not Matter

Former White House correspondent Bill Koenig writes in his weekly e-newsletter, “The late conservative journalist and pundit Charles Krauthammer said once, ‘We are living at a time when truth doesn’t matter.'”

Koenig continues, “We see this in the liberal media every week and with many of the Congressional Democrats. They are dishonest and/or incapable of processing the truth, denying truth because the end justifies the means, or they are totally deceived. A spirit of delusion is prevalent in our county today.”

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

Harbingers of Total Tyranny

Journalist Bill Wilson says we are on a “slippery slope to tyranny.”

He writes, “The FBI raid of Donald Trump’s home should be a wake-up call to all Americans that the Democratic Party leadership is intentional about re-imagining the homeland into a statist nation.

“From David Koresh and Elian Gonzalez during the Clinton years, to IRS treatment of conservative and Christian organizations, to the Russian influence scam, to spying on Trump’s campaign, to the news media under Obama, Democrat regimes increasingly have abused government power.”

Wilson concludes, “This week, people should at least consider that the FBI raid on Trump’s home and the passage of the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 are harbingers to the tyrannical agenda of the extreme left.”

“But evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).

Curtain About to Rise

The stage is being set daily for a drama that will be the story of the ages. The players are on the stage right behind the curtain. Our Heavenly Father is the writer, director, and producer of what is to come. An angel is holding a trumpet with his hands clasped around it. The Bridegroom has had enough of the foolishness of Godless men and is calling His bride, the Church, Home very soon.

There will, indeed, be a revival, but it will be during the seven-year Tribulation, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble. The Four Horsemen may be out of the barn soon. They’ll appear over a ridge once the Church is called to meet her Bridegroom.

The Disappearing Act is Next

I believe the scenario I represent does not allow time for “turning things around,” a “great awakening,” “making America great again,” or for the Church to crush the evil of our day (Dominion Theology). Instead, the Church is going to suddenly disappear and fade off the scene!

So, soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.

I have been watching the convergence of the so-called signs of the times ever since someone handed me Hal Lindsey’s “Late Great Planet Earth” many years ago. The book got my attention! Since then, I am fascinated with how Bible prophecy is being fulfilled now for several decades.

The apocalypse is in the air!

But in the last few years, things are happening so quickly that observers of the times can’t keep up. It’s as though the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn, but they can’t make their global appearance until the Church is called Home in the Rapture. The Bible is clear that we will be with Jesus in Heaven before these riders begin their deadly trek across planet Earth.

Here is a very short list of things I am noting in this year of 2022, indicating time is winding down and we will be whisked away very soon.

* We already see the formation of this coming New World Order through the U.N. and the World Economic Forum (WEF). Without firing a shot, they have gained the allegiance of most world leaders for their Marxist plans to enslave the people of the world. The globalists believe they have the means to reshape the world, according to their agenda, via the influence they have gained over the global leaders of our day. A one-world government will be birthed once the Church vacates! The players are in place.

* Three words in the Bible jumped out at me recently: “without natural affection” (2 Tim. 3:3). That happens to a final generation. But who could have imagined today’s society celebrating the trans movement, homosexual marriage, and the slaughtering of the unborn? All of these operate “without natural affection.”

And these issues are a leftist obsession! They love every imaginable aberration. Those standing for biblical values, such as pro-life groups, are under literal violent attack!

* That same passage opens talking about “perilous times.” Sure, we’ve had perilous times since WWI. The destruction of WW2 was unthinkable. But now Russia’s lunatic leader is threatening the world with nukes. There are more than 40 wars or serious conflicts raging in the world right now, displacing millions and often involving circumstances that are, indeed, perilous.

* Let me spend an extra moment on economic issues, inflation, and famine, all prophesied to occur during Daniel’s 70th Week, or the Tribulation, the “time of Jacob’s trouble.” Are we not seeing the stage-setting for that now?

As the food “apocalypse” approaches, the poorest peoples will suffer as they always do. But it is feared that the pain will rapidly move up the global food chain. With that comes a surge in political turbulence, humanitarian crises, and global instability.

Add to this the shortage of fertilizer, and the word apocalypse is, indeed, appropriate and not over used here. U.S. farmer sentiment plummeted in May as producers have become anxious about their farms’ financial health. More than 60% of farmers predict farm input prices to be at least 30% higher this year compared to 2021.

Throw in the mysterious destruction of multiple food processing plants and, in June, the deaths of thousands of cattle from excessive heat—or was it foul play?

Also in June, the soaring stock market took a nose dive, and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell admitted they are looking at replacing cash with digital currency.

Surely the black horse is ready to ride!

* To be blunt, economies around the world are on the verge of collapse. JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is warning about a “coming economic hurricane.” He states, “Right now, it’s kind of sunny; things are doing okay. Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this—but that hurricane is out there, down the road and coming our way. We don’t know if it’s Superstorm Sandy or Andrew. You better brace yourself.”

* How can I not reference the raging apostasy, the wolves among the flock, and the doctrine of demons all thriving in many churches today? This sad state of church affairs may be one of the most significant signs of the times out there.

In May we learned that a new study from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found that just 37% of Christian pastors in America have a biblical worldview. A spiritual awakening is needed in the pulpit just as much as in the pews! Imagine that two-thirds of our pastors (all denominations) don’t have a biblical worldview!

* Israel is sounding the war drums. In the face of Iran’s continued development of nuclear capability (she’s almost there), the Israeli Air Force has developed a new capability to fly its F-35 jets from Israel to Iran without requiring mid-air refueling.

This development is a boost to the IAF capabilities and comes as the Israeli military has upped its preparations for a strike against Iran’s nuclear capabilities—a scenario possible even yet this summer! This may be the most stunning geopolitical development of 2022—even more grave than Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Throw into the mix the collapse of Israel’s government in June. Word has it that Joe Biden and his administration will do everything they can to prevent a return of Benjamin Netanyahu, one of Israel’s finest leaders.

I have provided just a few short bullet points that I have kept my eye on here in 2022 that tell me the King is coming any day. I could list dozens more. We are trending towards the Tribulation, the “time of Jacob’s trouble.” And while believers can rejoice at our destination, remember that contained in the above situations are much suffering and perplexity globally. And human beings cannot solve these problems. That is why the word “perplexity” is seen in Luke 21:25.

The King of Kings must return to establish His earthly Kingdom on earth and clean up chaos, confusion, and consternation brought about by the Antichrist and his minions. The stage is being set now. The curtain for the last act could rise any day.
