With the 2024 presidential election at the door as of this writing, it is fascinating to consider the strangeness of developments leading to this election day.

We have written many times over the past months in consideration of the obvious imposition of Heaven’s Influence, if that’s the right term, upon the political process going on in America. Most of the restraint we have witnessed has been quite serious, of course. We consider that moment in Pennsylvania when a bullet struck former President Donald Trump’s ear.

Less than an inch existed between the bullet whizzing by and Mr. Trump’s skull. That inch made all the difference between life and death for the former president and for the entire course of America –and, for that matter, the world. All would have changed dramatically and traumatically, with untold consequences, had the assassination been successful.

But the assassination wasn’t allowed to happen.

I couldn’t see it because of being blind now for more than 30 years, but by all description I’ve been given, the turn of his head at the precise moment made the difference in life and instant death. Mr. Trump said very recently that he now knows it was the Hand of God that spared him. He said he felt as if an unseen hand slapped him to the floor at that next moment. He believes it is for the purpose of making America Great Again.

I can’t agree that was necessarily why he was saved from the assassin’s bullet. But I agree wholeheartedly that it was God’s Own Hand, and it was done for such great purpose that it is not possible to fathom at this point in the unfolding events.

The Supernatural was again manifested when a second assassination attempt was stopped. The sniper was found in time despite being in place for hours almost in plain sight. All authorities missed the would-be assassin in his place behind a fence just yards from where the former president would soon be stroking a putt on the golf course green. But God didn’t miss spotting the man with the rifle, and He prompted, I have no doubt, an agent to look at that barrel sticking through the fence in the direction of the approaching presidential party.

The Supernatural has been a part of this entire process of cultural and societal development for many years, particularly in recent years and months.

For example, the economy has been predicted by some of the top experts in fiscal matters to totally collapse due to untenable printing and spending of money in this nation and across the world. The American economy, according to the experts, should have long ago collapsed, bringing down the entire world in its crushing fall.

I have been hearing about this impending calamity for literally 10 years at a minimum. Todd and I have discussed it at least for that long, sitting just feet apart in my small office here in the humble hubbel. But the collapse hasn’t happened, even though the signs of imminent collapse are in every direction.

This is a Supernatural manifestation of Heaven’s Governance over an out-of-control world of inept and even evil people in charge in the high places of powers and principalities –the Ephesians 6:12 bunch, consisting of both demonic and human minions.

It is not yet the moment for that collapse on God’s Prophetic Timeline. It will not happen until He says so. He is Supernaturally holding things up, I’m convinced, until the Church is called into Heaven by the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be business as usual, according to Jesus’ Own Words (Luke 17: 28-30) until that time. And, let us not forget, the primary “Business” is that of the Great Commission Jesus left for believers to accomplish.

And then there is the sense of Supernatural influence and even direct imposition of the Almighty’s authority in dealing with His chosen people and nation. We have looked at how Israel has been able to defeat its enemies without bringing on all-out Mid-East and even global war, through technological genius. And it is genius given the Jewish scientists and others by God that introduced the computer corruption (Stuxnet worm) into Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities to stop Iran’s progress in producing an atomic device.

Then, very recently, the Heaven-Given genius was again on display for all to see when Israel’s scientists and others produced technology that caused hundreds of pagers and other devices to explode at once, disrupting the Israel-haters’ plans to inflict great harm. While the technology wasn’t Supernatural, the genius given by Heaven to pull off such a feat, no doubt, was Supernatural.

And, without meaning to insinuate a macabre sense of humor, we can view this with a bit of levity despite the death and injury caused. We remember reporting just recently how an Islamic cleric who champions the Muslim terrorist factions declared that Israel had always used being in league with ancient genie supernaturalism to always thwart efforts to destroy the Jewish people and nation. He said this use of genie “magic” had been the case since the times of King David’s reign.

And now there is the following bit of news that, in my opinion, adds great and warranted humor to the matter of Sensing the Supernatural, as our commentary’s title puts it.

It’s not working!

Self-proclaimed ‘Reddit Witches’ are complaining that they are finding it difficult to cast negative spells on Donald Trump because he has “some kind of protection around him.”

Yes, really.

A post on the far-left website appeared in a subreddit called ‘Witches Vs Patriarchy’ and features one of the witches bemoaning the fact that their spells aren’t working on the Donald.

“Some other witches have mentioned that doing spells directly against Trump are not as effective as we might hope as he seems to have some kind of protection around him,” laments the witch.

She suggests casting a spell against Project 2025 instead, a Heritage Foundation policy document that wasn’t even created by the Trump campaign and which they have disavowed repeatedly…

The witch then encourages the rest of her coven to perform “uplifting kinds of spells to help Kamala & the Democrats,” which is presumably needed given their increasingly dire poll numbers.

Certainly, there was “some kind of protection around him” on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, when that bullet missed entering his skull by an inch or so. That same not “Something” but “Someone” continues to restrain and have in derision the evil of this world. And that Someone –the God of Heaven—will continue to do so until His people, all Believers in His Son for Salvation, are taken (paralambano) into the clouds of Glory in the Rapture.

You want to be a part of that moving from judgment-bound Planet Earth into the presence of the Lord Jesus in a twinkling of an eye moment. Here is what you need to do if you haven’t done so yet.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The term “apocalypse” as related to the coming Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week) means the “unveiling” or “revelation.” Particularly, it is the revelation of Jesus Christ in all of His power and glory and in His judgeship over all of the world’s evil since Lucifer’s rebellion and the Fall of humankind in the Garden of Eden.

I’ve addressed many times the next step in Christ’s coming judgment over this fallen world. Jesus Himself used the word in giving what I believe is the most important prophecy for believers of this Church Age (Age of Grace):

“Also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30).

According to the Lord’s own words, the son of man will be revealed the very day that something occurs like it did in the days that Lot lived in the wicked city of Sodom. Again, the apocalypse—the unveiling or revealing of Jesus Christ—will take place when something happens just like it did in the days of Lot.

That “something” that brings about the revealing of Jesus in His power as Judge of the world’s evil has everything to do with Lot’s removal from Sodom. Here is what Lot was told in that regard before he and his family were taken from the doomed city:

“Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither” (Genesis 19:22a).

The angel charged with taking Lot and his family to safety because the city was about to be destroyed said they must be removed before the destruction could be carried out. Jesus is telling future believers in the Luke 17:28–30 prophecy that there is coming a time when we must be taken out of the wicked place we’re living in before He is revealed as Judge. The Lord said the place out of which we will be removed will be dealt with in judgment, just as Sodom and its left-behind residents.

Christ’s judgment–His revealing in his power as Judge—will begin at that very moment. The Apocalypse —that unveiling of power and authority—will begin the process of God destroying the present evil system of satanically inspired, humanistic government. In its place, through seven years of purging by twenty-one specific judgments—seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls—will come the Second Advent of Christ, the King of all kings, and His thousand-year reign on a restored, Eden-like earth—the Millennium.

Each week, I receive emails and phone calls in which I’m told, “I’ve never felt like this before. There’s something that makes me think we might not even reach the November 5 election.”

That sense of impending something-or-the-other indeed seems on the minds of many believers who are paying attention. I must admit, I’ve had those “feelings” in recent days.

Of course, we can’t go too far down the road on “feelings” because such sensations most generally are a mere reflection of human emotion. We’re confronted with all sorts of troubled symptoms of these times. Like old Lot, whom the Bible tells us was “vexed from day to day” with the ungodliness all around him in Sodom, we sometimes can see only a bleak future for ourselves and those we love.

Certainly, there seems a time immediately ahead that is portentous. There are so many symptoms that look exactly like the Lord Jesus described when He answered His disciples’ question: “What shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the age?”

To the believer who observes from the pre-Trib view of Bible prophecy, it’s as if the time of the Apocalypse is very near indeed. God’s judgment–Jesus Christ revealed in His divine office of Judge—must be about to, like in the days of Lot prophecy, rain down a fire and brimstone-like cataclysm upon the ungodliness all around us.

We’re approaching Apocalypse, to be sure. Israel’s front-and-center positioning on this end-times geopolitical landscape isn’t happenstance or coincidence. The way the world is dealing with God’s chosen people makes it clear that this age of God’s grace and divine patience is about to end, and that the time of His apocalyptic judgment is poised above a planet ripe for the Almighty’s wrath.

So, in my estimation, it isn’t altogether beyond spiritual reasoning to look with trepidation at the very near future. It is an ominous picture, to be sure. However, it isn’t a picture filled with trepidation for believers. The darkening angst we rightfully have is for those who haven’t come to salvation.

As a matter of fact, for the believer in Christ’s sacrifice as the only Way to God the Father (John 14:6), the immediate future is bright with God’s glorious promise.

“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). 

We will, at any moment, in the “twinkling of an eye,” look into the eyes of our Lord and Savior. So, while we approach Apocalypse, let’s look at all the fearful signals happening in every direction as being but reminders of Jesus’ promise.

“And when ye shall see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

If you haven’t come to Christ for salvation, here once again is the way to make sure you will not be left behind to suffer the worst time in human history, but will go into the clouds of Glory to be with Jesus when He calls:

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10). 

*** Important Notice! ***

God The Holy Spirit is turning on the Light of God’s Truth in Pakistan and other areas of the Spiritually darkened world.

Again, I’m appealing to you, who understand through Holy Spirit Enlightenment just how late is the prophetic hour, to help us print and distribute the little book Prophecy Power: Strength From God To Face Your Future to the people of Pakistan.

Pastor Anil Jasper worked diligently to translate the Sunday school quarterly-sized book into his native language. The results have been powerful in helping turn on that Light of understanding about Jesus and His soul-saving Sacrifice. Anil reports that the book distribution is reaping great rewards in terms of his people accepting Christ –something that might not have happened if not for the presentation in our little book.

Please consider again supporting this effort, as time looks to be short, according to all prophetic stage-setting signals in the world today. We want to one day hear the words from our Lord: “Well done, good, faithful servant.”

Please go to the following to read more and contribute.
