Time to roll old Lindsey out of the barn and fire up the boilers.

The death and rebirth of human civilization is the narrow path to awakening

By: Mike Adams

Unless there is cosmic intervention — which is always a possibility — it is now inescapable that anti-human globalists are going to escalate conflict into World War III and use that conflict to collapse human civilization on planet Earth. This would, of course, lead to the near-extermination of the human race and a planetary-scale genocide event. (Cosmic-level ethnic cleansing.)

Over the next several years — unless they are stopped — they will drive the global population of humans down toward one billion remaining survivors. This will be achieved through a combination of vaccine genocide, nuclear war, mass starvation, biosphere collapse, 5G weaponization, weather weapons, financial collapse, cyber attacks and of course ongoing psychological trauma from the globalist-run corporate media. After several years of such attacks, humanity will face the very real possibility of planetary-scale extinction.

It is in that moment of facing imminent and permanent death that humanity will be offered a choice: Choose LIFE or choose DEATH.

It is critical that we all survive to that moment so that we can be among the human survivors who choose life, God, abundance and freedom

Thanks for posting this.

It’s a good reference, having so many verses and events listed together as it does.

As maps go, it’s helpful to see what has to happen first and what has happened already to get a truer sense of where we are in our story.

Fwiw, there are those in our times now and in the recent past who have been spoken to directly, if you wish to believe such things, and have also been told that we are very close to His Return.

All signs pointing to the same thing and each marking out our path and destination.

It’s not just about one nation.

Sure, there have been isolated incidents here and there in the world.

I guess you’re missing the point of the article.

It’s the widespread fulfillment, around the globe, Israel being a nation, and the convergence and increase of the signs. It’s ALL of that put together, not a situaz here or there that people are getting worked up about.

Sigh.

There’s a difference between tribulation that we experience living here on earth and the time of the Great Tribulation where God is bringing Israel to Himself and judging an unbelieving world.

Conflating the two makes a mess out of a lot of Scriptrue.

Yup, the generation that sees the birth pangs beginning will see the fulfillment of them.

Jesus was talking about the future in His discourse. He was talking about the generation alive during that future time, not the one He was living in.

It takes deliberate misinterpretation of Scripture to claim that Jesus’ whole discourse was about future generations, and then for one sentence He was talking about the folks He was living with, and then jumped back to talking about future generations again.

Proper interpretation of ANYTHING does not allow for that kind of inconsistency.

And I don’t doubt there were signs and your grandmother was correct. Just because the signs started out slow, as Jesus said they would, doesn’t mean they were not signs of the coming close of the age.

The ‘tribulation’ of mass deception is fully underway. Getting ever closer to the deadly wound. Peace, peace, peace is the opposite of wars and rumors of wars.

Apparently far too many people are not familiar with labor pains.

They start out very gently and mildly, spaced far apart, to the point where many women don’t even recognize them right away themselves. Over the course of a day or two, or sometimes even more, they become more pronounced, a little stronger and a little closer together each time.

And sometimes the change can happen quickly and suddenly, where it gets your attention, but generally it’s gradual enough that the increase is only noticeable over the course of a few hours.

But nobody goes into hard labor from 0 - 100 without extenuating circumstances, or it’s very rare.

So all these people pooh-poohing the signs because the signs don’t look the way they expect them to, are going to be in for a rude awakening. And that where so many naysayers come in. They have an ideatheir own idea, of howthe signs are supposed to look and when God doesn’t match their preconceived notions, then it’s not God.

Very foolhardy.

In Matthew 24 Jesus said the gospel of The Kingdom. He was not addressing the church He was speaking to Jews who were familiar with the notion of the Kingdom.

when the Tribulation begins then is the arrival of the Kingdom able to be dated to within a few days. The Jewish evangelists will be world-wide proclaiming the Kingdom coming, the Earthly Kingdom of Messiah, the millennial reign.

The error the author makes is common when the Olivet Discourse is not taken in proper context.

The Rapture ends The Church Age and makes way for the resuming of Daniel's prophecy of 70 weeks. During the Tribulation, the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy, it is 144,000 Jewish 'virgin men' and a couple of Angels who will be spreading the gospel of the Kingdom coming very soon, at the end of the seven years of the Tribulation. Jesus was not pointing to the Rapture, He was pointing to the sevendieth week of DAniel, a period when The Restrainer is no longer restraining the lawless one.

Many believe in a ‘post-trib rapture’...given that; when does the tribulation begin?

[[It’s not just about one nation.]]

Nope never said it was, infact my whole argument was to point,out that it wasn’t just about our nation and what we are going through.

I guess you missed my point that many nations have been absolutely,brutal to,their citizens, a d especially to their Christian populations for 1000’s of years, and it’s been much more than just a few isolated cases in a few nations Here and there. Nation after nation has been brutal for 1000’s of years. We in our nation have it pretty good even with all the crap we have to,deal with compared to what many nations have had tk endure for 1000’s of years.

Yes israel,has become a nation and that was one sign, however, there are other signs that haven’t been fulfilled yet, and it could be that they won’t be for many years to come yet, we just don’t know.

Is it possible he is going to,return soon? Sure it is, but each generation Has thought that too and they pointed to world events too jusy like we do today.

8 hope it is soon, and maybe the signs will all rapifly start coming true, but it may not be- brutality has been prevalent throughout history. There are a lot,of nations that are just brutal to their citizens- many nations where it is illegal to be a practicing Christian, or where Christians there are treated horribly.

We look,at the evil and think the man of lawlessness is being let loose because we are witnessing it more in our nation now, but really it’s nothing g new. Many nations have faced far worse for a long period of time

There is One God.. and one Saviour…. Christ's Words were to any and all who would/will believe…. Man since the Tower of Babel has divined his/her own plans/path for salvation. Christ is returning to God's green earth for a harvest.. now I cannot imagine what the rapturites plan on doing while the bridegroom is right here on God's green earth..

[[It was a global government trial in some ways. ]]

Exactly right. They are now trying to estab,ish an “international pandemic response body” and make the world subservient to their rules and regulations. If this succeeds, it will be a major attack on sovereignty. Question is, how aggressive will they get about enforcing it?

(and makes way for the resuming of Daniel’s prophecy of 70 weeks)

I think so too. 1,260 days into that, then shall be Great Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast.

Matthew 24:15-21
New King James Version

The Great Tribulation(A)
15 (B)“Therefore when you see the (C)‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (D)(whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But (E)woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For (F)then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024%3A15-21&version=NKJV

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

You wrote....”One could say we sort of had a global government during covid. Everyone was doing the same things with lockdowns to varying degrees and almost all pushed the useless jab. It was a global government trial in some ways”.....

That is a good point and one which most of us here identified clearly..... It also showed us how easy and ‘fast’ the masses get in line and believe what they’re told..... It also wasn’t long before we were seeing you get the shot or you lose your income - forced on the people....add in the Canadian Trucker protest which showed leaders are capable of affecting any public outcry direstly by taking control of your income.

What alarmed me was how rapid things can take place - before the people actually “get it” and have no recourse by then.

Scary and true. It will be the same in the end times and people.will be even more antagonistic and violent towards the “non compliers” who refuse the mark as they were towards those who refused to mask up or take the vaccine
