TIMING OF THE END OF THE AGE

Nelson Walters suggested I take a look at this website Counting from Caleb. This is a short (18 minutes) video by Ryan who presents evidence that Daniels 70 weeks prophecy can also be seen as 70 weeks of Jubilees (Shavuot) 70 x 7 x 7 = 3430 from the time of Caleb’s inheritance of the land in 1400 BC. This would mean that the final seven years (Daniel’s 70th week of years) would start on 4th October 28th, 2024, and end on 28th September 2031. This would be the end of the age and the start of Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom.

Ryan could be wrong but I believe we are in the Biblical prophesied end times before Jesus returns to Earth to rule and reign on Earth for 1000 years. Jesus Millennial Kingdom (http://www.millennialkingdom.net).

THE END OF DAYS REVEALED

Jonathan Cahn opens the meaning of Aharit Hayamin: The End of Days Revealed. The Bible speaks of prophetic times known as the ‘Last Days,’ the ‘End Times,’ ‘the End of Days, starting in Deuteronomy.

Even before Israel entered their Promised Land, Moses told the people their entire history and that because of disobedience God will cast them out of the land and scatter them throughout the world. He also reveals that before the end of the age, God would regather them. Miraculously, God orchestrated Israel being re-established as a nation again in 1948. The main end times prophecy has already been fulfilled. As Jonathan reveals many other Biblical end times prophecies are playing out now in our day.

Jonathan Cahn reveals the prophetic mysteries in Daniel 7 including “Shena”, the 4th beast in the book of Daniel that has metal in it, and the altered end-times technology.

WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS

Is the Middle East inching toward all-out war? The Biblical answer is yes, and the time is near.

Nothing is certain. Iran’s leadership has promised, publicly, loudly, and repeatedly, that it will strike Israel militarily. It says this is to avenge the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Tehran. This killing was carried out by Israel, although Jerusalem has not claimed responsibility for the event.

Haniyeh has been replaced as overall Hamas leader by Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 atrocity. A ceasefire may still be on the cards, but whenever Sinwar shows his face the Israelis will surely kill him.

A day before Haniyeh’s death, an Israeli strike killed Hezbollah’s military commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut. The Israelis were responding to a Hezbollah 50kg rocket that hit an Israeli Druze village and killed 12 young people. As a result of the death of its military commander, Hezbollah too has vowed, repeatedly and explicitly, a major strike on Israel.

So Iran and Hezbollah have now committed to military actions against Israel in the coming days.

The world has taken these threats seriously. The Albanese government advised Australians in Lebanon to leave now, while they can. Numbers of international airlines have stopped flights to Beirut and some to Israel. Others have decided to avoid Iranian air space.

Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says Israel is already at war with Iran.

Netanyahu sees Iran as a unique existential threat to Israel. He also sees it as having a much bigger significance in global politics. In his recent speech to the US Congress, Netanyahu said: “For Iran, Israel is first, America is next. So, when Israel fights Hamas, we’re fighting Iran. When we fight Hezbollah, we’re fighting Iran. And when we fight Iran, we’re fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of the United States.

Iran’s leadership seethes with visceral hatred of Israel. Even in Australia, the Iranian ambassador thought it good form to tweet out a statement that he hoped the “Zionist plague” would be “wiped from the map” by 2027.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised “harsh punishment” for Israel. Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, vowed a “severe response” to teach Israel a lesson.

Senior Iranian officials reportedly told Arab governments they no longer cared whether their forthcoming attack on Israel caused an all-out regional war. This may be a bluff, or at least stylised military signalling.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, also told his own people his group would hit Israel harder than before. In a fiery speech in Beirut he declared: “We have not sought escalations until now, we have been fighting in support of Gaza but keeping in mind the Lebanese national interest. Every time one of our commanders was killed, our response was heightened but always measured.

“But the assassination of a top (Hezbollah) leader (in Beirut) must be treated differently. Our response is coming, God willing, from us and the axis of resistance – and it must be strong.”

The “axis of resistance” Nasrallah is talking about is Iran and its regional proxies, namely Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, Shi’ite militias in Iraq and Syria, and Hamas as well as Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Palestinian territories.

All except the Palestinian groups are Shi’ite. Iran has always aspired, mostly forlornly, to lead and inspire the entire Muslim world. Its leaders had close connections to the Sunni extremist Muslim Brotherhood. Although the Arab Middle East generally is divided into Sunni versus Shia, this hasn’t stopped Iran from supporting, supplying, and effectively leading Hamas and PIJ.

Iran is the ram of Daniel 8:4. “I saw the ram charging westward, northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power.” With its proxies: Hezbollah (Lebanon), Hamas (Gaza), Palestinian Islamic Jihad (West Bank and Gaza), Houthi (Yemen), Al-Ashtar Brigades (Bahrain), Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq), Badr Organization (Iraq), Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (Iraq), Fatemiyoun Brigade (Syria), Zainabiyoun Brigade (Syria), Quawt al-Ridha (Syria), Baqir Brigade (Syria) it is pushing westward, northward and southward.

Who is the goat of Daniel 8? The Hebrew word translated “Greece” is actually YAVAN. Yavan were an ancient people that occupied eastern Greece and western Turkey. The principle city within the region is Istanbul. The Angel is not referring to Greece but rather to the land once occupied by the Yavan people who lived in western Turkey! Hence, Turkey is the goat. Daniel instructs us that a great war is about to take place between Iran and Turkey, and Turkey will ultimately prevail. It will be a war between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims. Turkey will re-conquer Babylon (Iraq) and conquer Persia (Iran). This will create an empire that is part Lion, part Bear, and part Leopard (referring to Rev. 13). A revived Ottoman Empire.

Why does scripture highlight this particular war? It is highlighted because it launches the career of the Antichrist! Scripture reveals that a revived Ottoman Empire exists for a short time but it is broken up into four. We are not told by whom but it could be the United Nations. They would not like to see a revived Ottoman Empire. It is out of one of the four nations the Antichrist arises.

Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven. And some of the host and some of the stars it threw down to the ground and trampled on them. It became great, even as great as the Prince of the host. And the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown. Daniel 8:9-11

For Christians, the next major end-times sign is the Goat (Turkey/Sunni) v Ram (Iran/Shia) war. When this eventuates Christians can show non-believers the truth of God’s Word. Apocalyptic evangelism should be a powerful tool.

DRAG QUEENS TAKE CENTER STAGE AT PARIS OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY

 The Associated Press report of The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: “In an unprecedented display of inclusivity, drag queens took center stage at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, showcasing the vibrant and influential role of the French LGBTQ+ community.

The 2024 Olympics made a mockery of Christianity as drag queens and dancers lined a long table resembling Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”, which marks the last meal shared with Christ and his disciples.

Le Filip, the recent winner of “Drag Race France,” expressed their positive “surprise” and “pride” at the ceremony’s scale and representation.

“I thought it would be a five-minute drag event with queer representation. I was amazed. It started with Lady Gaga, then we had drag queens, a huge rave, and a fire in the sky,” they said. “It felt like a crowning all over again. I am proud to see my friends and queer people on the world stage.”

In addition to inviting condemnation for mocking one of the most sacred events for Christians, the opening ceremonies featured another prop viewed as a slap in the face to people of faith: a golden calf. As explained in Exodus 32, while the people of Egypt were waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain, they decided to create an idol of a golden calf despite God’s instructions in Exodus 20 not to worship idols.

A fashion show at the ceremony included a scene that resembled a modern re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, with French actor Philippe Katerine appearing as the Greek god Dionysus, painted blue and wearing little more than a bunch of flowers covering his modesty. Katerine was reclining on a dinner platter in an attempt to imitate Dionysus, the pagan god of drunkenness and orgies. 

St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Cathedral bishop Andrew Mukukuoi told The Australian the act was a distasteful joke. “I think it was offensive to all Christians around the world,” Father Mukukuoi said.

“It was a mockery because they made a joke of something really important for Christians, the Last Supper was when Christ gave us his body.” “They didn’t mock any other religion but chose to make a joke of Christianity. It was a distasteful thing to watch and whoever commissioned this should be held to account.”

Surely, this will be sufficient evidence to show Christians that we are in the Biblical prophesied end times before Jesus returns to restore righteousness. God will not allow His Son to be mocked. Macron does not realise the extent of the judgment he has unleashed on the nation he governs.

HOW AI AND QUANTUM COMPUTING WILL IMPACT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Amazon and Walmart are good examples of how AI will adversely affect employment opportunities.

The online retailer behemoth, Amazon, is the second-largest private employer in the U.S. – 1.5 million people. It’s also one of the largest investors in AI.

It’s building out fully autonomous warehouses… It’s working to automate the delivery process with self-driving vans and delivery drones… and 30% of its “workforce” are already robots.

Robots don’t sleep. They don’t take vacations. They never need a break. So, let me ask you this: How much longer until Amazon decides these robots are ready to take on the full workload of its 1.5 million remaining workers? And what do you think will happen when 1.5 million hardworking Americans are suddenly out of a job? Biblical prophesied end times lawlessness will be the outcome. Young people will be marching on the streets causing havoc.

And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.Matthew 24:12-13

And Amazon is far from the only giant company doing this. Walmart Inc. (WMT), the largest private employer in the U.S., is rolling out fully automated distribution centers using a combination of AI and robots. The company’s distribution centers are in operation but come with one big catch: There aren’t any people.

What about “knowledge workers” – i.e., accountants, business strategists, lawyers, and doctors – who make optimal decisions, are good at problem-solving, can strategize, and always act in the best interests of the business?

ChatGPT and other forms of AI are killing that paradigm. It makes it so that businesses can scale critical thinking and knowledge work. It doesn’t matter if you have a blue or white collar: AI could be a threat to your job. The reason why AI is more of a threat now than it was when ChatGPT made its debut in 2022 is because of quantum computing. Quantum computers allow for multiple computational pathways to be explored at the same time, opening new avenues and speeds for solving complex problems.

We’re talking about machines so advanced that they can instantly execute calculations that would take the world’s most advanced supercomputers nearly half a century to process.

It’s not like the transition from the horse and buggy to the automobile. It’s more like horse and buggy to the SR-71 Blackbird… the fastest jet ever made. The difference is utterly mind-blowing.

With quantum computing, the digital elite will have AI that is not constrained by computational speed. Quantum-powered AI will drive efficiencies by getting rid of human workers and driving up corporate profits. No matter the job, robots, software, and AI – powered by a new breed of computer – will be able to do it better and cheaper.

This is the societal and economic equivalent of a 10,000-foot mega tsunami. It’s about to slam into our world and alter the trajectory of our world forever. It is amazing that 600 years before Jesus Christ came to Earth for the first time, Daniel was told that the time before Jesus’ second coming to Earth, two of the signs would be that people would be travelling a lot and knowledge would increase. This must have sounded strange to Daniel as he had no concept of air travel and the internet, AI, and quantum computing.

But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.Daniel 12:4

SAN FRANCISCO: PUBLIC NUDITY PERMITTED IN PRIDE PARADE

The recent San Francisco Pride Parade featured nude adults walking around in front of children and a “Fetish Zone” where men urinated on each other in a kiddie pool and performed other sex acts.

Do you believe a God of righteousness will allow this to continue? Thank goodness Jesus told us that this lawlessness would precede His return to deal with Satan, and his Antichrist, and restore righteousness.

Most mainstream media outlets that covered the event neglected to cover its lewder aspects, with the San Francisco Chronicle running with the headline: “SF Pride Parade draws thousands celebrating LGBTQ community: ‘We love our people'” “Pride takes over San Francisco streets with eye-catching costumes and fantastic floats,” read the headline from SFGate.

Multiple reporters on the ground over the weekend posted graphic footage on X of the annual event that receives millions in donations from corporations and civic organizations in San Francisco. The ATF and FBI also participated in the parade, according to footage obtained by TENET Media.

TENET Media field reporter Taylor Hansen interviewed multiple nude men on the street who attempted to justify their public nudity in front of children as natural and sometimes even good for them.

None of the crybabies and parents who complain about it can ever explain exactly how a child is harmed by seeing the human body, and every study that’s been done on the subject shows that it’s not harmful. Children who grow up with it are more well-adjusted,” said one naked man who described himself as “a nudist and an artist.”

Footage taken by reporter Savanah Hernandez at the event’s Fetish Zone showed a bearded man in an inflatable kiddie pool being urinated on by a woman as others around them watched. Hernandez reported that despite the area being 18+, the attendant was not checking IDs. Footage of the same pool taken by Hansen showed a similar situation, but which also included fellatio. When Hansen approached police about the incident, they reportedly told him it was a “pick your own battles kind of day.” Other booths in the Fetish Zone reportedly featured men getting whipped and spanked, as well as other simulated sex acts.

This is clear evidence we are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns so we need to tell our unsaved loved ones and friends that it is also the time when God pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet (Rev. 8:1-11:19) and Bowl (Rev. 16:1-21) judgements.

The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up…” Revelation 8:1

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.Revelation 16:1-2

How many churches are making disciples that will preach this Gospel message?

QUANTUM COMPUTING AND HOW IT WILL IMPACT THE JOB MARKET

Look what happened in the 1970s. Robots started becoming widely used in manufacturing… Corporations began using computers to automate routine tasks… record keeping, database management, accounting… Spreadsheet software could do the work of dozens of entry and mid-level workers…

This put incredible downward pressure on our value as workers… and pay. Technology slashes the number of people needed to do a job or complete a task. Technology is a deflationary force on wages.

The blame for America’s huge and rapidly growing wealth divide is often pinned on politics, race, interest rates, or our money. The truth is, it’s a force FAR larger and more powerful than any of those things. And it’s rarely talked about. The ROOT CAUSE of wealth inequality is technology.

The American worker hasn’t received a meaningful raise in pay since the 1970s. Americans have no money anymore because they’re not being paid. One of the most fundamental ideas of America itself is the belief that anyone who works hard and perseveres can get ahead. That is just no longer true. No matter how hard they work – or how well their investments do – people struggle to get ahead… while going deeper and deeper into debt.

In the modern digital economy, a rising tide no longer lifts all boats… just the mega yachts.

This is the biggest problem our country now faces. Being drastically underpaid and underappreciated is something people can only take for so long. America’s streets are quickly becoming ground zero for a class war that’s been building for years. As this crisis worsens, everyone left behind will turn to more extreme measures, creating an upheaval like we’ve never seen before. It will be a war between the haves and have nots. The people who understand this technology and everyone else.

This will have huge implications for the political landscape in the coming years. The outcry over low pay, joblessness, and wealth inequality will lead to American political power tilting more and more towards big government… towards socialist thinking.

Now, large percentages of wealthy households don’t earn enough income to repay their debts. The single-digit millionaire is the new middle class. Politicians will never allow tens of millions of citizens to go bankrupt. The only plausible solution is a nationwide program from which all citizens receive a regular minimum income, without a need to work… A Universal Basic Income. Some might think “There’s no way this could really happen… Not here.” However numerous pilot programs are already underway across the country. Many are being touted as huge successes… with full support from Tech’s top business leaders… And why wouldn’t they? Universal basic income is a dream come true for Big Tech. It’s like a subsidy for the digital elite. Why pay the salaries of millions of hard-working Americans when Uncle Sam will do it for you? That’s the new era into which we are entering.

Certain things are inevitable right now. Corporate bankruptcies will increase as AI and quantum computing go mainstream. New technology drives out old. Not everyone will adapt. Not everyone can adapt. Many of the companies that won’t make it are sitting in retirement accounts, IRAs, and 401(k)s as we speak… We saw this with the Internet revolution. Amazon killed hundreds of retail chains… Uber destroyed cabs… Netflix killed Blockbuster… The iPhone was the death knell for Kodak.

The percentage of stocks that produce good returns is about to go way down. The percentage of stocks that turn out to be losers is about to go way up. It’s like a wealth divide in the stock market. This has already started.

Millions of high-paying jobs will be reduced or eliminated as well… Regardless of what you do… Sometime in the next 5 years, you or someone you know will be replaced by a robot or an algorithm that does that job better. One that never sleeps, never vacations, never gets sick, doesn’t need healthcare or a 401(k).

As it worsens, we’ll see more and more people falling behind. There will be riots, protests, and violence on a scale we’ve never seen before. This is prophesied in God’s Word, the Bible, as the state of the world before Jesus returns to restore righteousness and rule and reign on the Earth for another 1,000 years. Bible prophecy warns us that we are approaching the last seven years before Jesus returns. It will be a time of intense persecution of Christians.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away, betray, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13

TIMING OF GOD’S COMING WRATH

Imagine how the disciples felt when near the end of Jesus’ ministry He told them, three times, He was going to die and now He had just told them the temple would be destroyed. It was all bad news so the following conversation between Jesus and the disciples is understandable. Fortunately, Jesus gave them and us incredible details on what will take place before His second coming to Earth and it is not good news for believers because the world will be like it was before God poured out His wrath upon the Earth, the first time with Noah’s Flood.

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.Matthew 24:3, 9-14

This is one of the reasons that for me the Bible is the word of God and therefore the true history of the world. It does not paint a “pretty picture” of the end as most “made-up” stories do.

JONATHAN CAHN REVEALS THE END-TIMES SIGNS OF THE DRAGON

Dragons in New York City! A Dragon on Wall Street. A Dragon on the Empire State Building. What is happening? Jonathan shows us that these are just end times signs that God is giving us to show that Jesus return to Earth is soon. We are in the Biblical prophesied time of the end of the Dragon’s (Satan) rule over planet Earth. Jesus will then rule the world with the nation, Israel, that God established for His purposes on Earth taking its rightful place as the lead nation of the world.

Even before the people of Israel went into the Promised Land, just before Moses died, he was told by God to teach them this song so that it will be a witness to Jews even to this day.

Now therefore write this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel. For when I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise me and break my covenant. And when many evils and troubles have come upon them, this song shall confront them as a witness (for it will live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring). For I know what they are inclined to do even today, before I have brought them into the land that I swore to give.” So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel. Deuteronomy 39:19-22

Be on the winning side. Be strong in the Lord and be victorious.

MORE ON THE COMING RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS

The Book of Revelation clearly shows a chronological order to the Resurrection and Rapture. Who are the first and who are the last to be caught up? What criteria does Jesus use? Does the Rapture truly happen in the twinkling of an eye, or is that a myth? Watch Nelson Walters’s groundbreaking video and discover if the last are first and the first are last as Jesus says.

This video does not address the timing of the Rapture which Nelson and I would put at the opening of the seventh seal which is the PreWrath Rapture position. Christians will go through much of the tribulation even great tribulation but will not experience the wrath of God which is poured out on the unrepentant with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Note it is in Revelation 6, at the sixth seal, we see the celestial signs that precede Jesus’ return mentioned by Joel 2 in the O.T. and Jesus in the Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24. Also Isaiah 34:4.

And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire, and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.Joel 2:30-31

Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.Matthew 24:29-30

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand? Revelation 6:12-17
