Bunnings has had a win in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, having a decision overturned that it breached privacy rules by using facial recognition to combat violent retail crime. Even so, the AAT says it failed to properly tell customers their images were being collected.
The tribunal found Bunnings met the necessary thresholds to suspect unlawful activity, and reasonably believed the collection of sensitive information could help its quest to address the crime issue.
People are being programmed to take the mark of the Beast
As prophesied, the world has moved into moral and spiritual decline—where truth is rejected, sin is celebrated, and even many in the visible church drift from biblical truth. This prepares humanity for a global deception and the rise of the Antichrist.
The Antichrist arises during a time of worldwide turmoil—offering peace, unity, and stability through a one-world system.
- Revelation 13:16–17 – “He causes all, both small and great… to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark.”
This prophecy predicts an economic control system requiring allegiance to the Beast. In our modern world, technologies like microchips, digital identification, and centralized financial tracking have made such control technologically feasible for the first time in history.
5. The Great Tribulation and Rapture
Key Passages:
- Matthew 24:21–22 – “Then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world.”
- Daniel 12:1 – “There shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation.”
During this period, the Antichrist persecutes believers and the Jewish people. This time of tribulation, even great tribulation God uses to purify His church. Then God takes them out with the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal before He pours out His wrath upon the unrepentant with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. God also preserves a remnant of Israel (144,000).
6. The Gathering of the Nations Against Israel
Key Passages:
- Revelation !6:16 “For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty… And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.”
As global hostility toward Israel intensifies, a massive coalition gathers in the region of Megiddo (Armageddon). The Antichrist’s goal is to annihilate Israel and defy God’s covenant promises.
7. The Return of Jesus Christ
Key Passages:
- Zechariah 14:3–4 – “Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations… and His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives.”
- Revelation 19:11–16 – “Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse… and the armies in heaven followed Him.”
At Israel’s darkest hour, when destruction seems unavoidable, Jesus Christ returns in power and glory. The heavens open, and He descends as King of kings and Lord of lords. The Antichrist and False Prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20). His Word alone destroys the armies gathered against Jerusalem.
8. The Liberation and Restoration of Israel
Key Passages:
- Romans 11:26 – “And so all Israel will be saved.”
- Ezekiel 36:24–28 – “I will sprinkle clean water on you… I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.”
Jesus delivers Israel and establishes His righteous reign from Jerusalem. The Jewish people recognize Him as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10), and the Kingdom of God on earth begins—the Millennial Reign of Christ (Revelation 20:1–6). Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to learn more about what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth and to prepare to rule and reign with Jesus for the next 1000 years. We have had 6000 years of Satan’s rule, ahead is 1000 years of Jesus and the Saints ruling the world. Sadly, it needs to be with a rod of iron as the curse is not lifted off the Cosmos. Moreover, we know that when Satan is released at the end of the 1000 years he is still able to raise an enormous army to come against Jesus and the Saints.
Conclusion – The Hope of His Coming
For believers, the promise of Jesus’ return is not one of fear but hope. Though deception, tribulation, and judgment will come, God’s plan ends not in destruction but in restoration—of Israel, of creation, and of His people dwelling forever in His presence.
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.”
— Revelation 1:7
