If things are so wonderful, then why do so many people feel a deep sense of unease about what is ahead? I think that the reason why our society is so obsessed with apocalyptic movies and television shows is because most of us realize on some level that we are living in an apocalyptic generation. As I have been documenting in my articles over the last several months, the clock is ticking for humanity. If we continue to do things the way we have been doing them, our society will inevitably collapse. Even now, virtually all of our systems are exhibiting signs of failure, and yet most of us continue to live our lives as if they party will never end.
But it will end, and deep inside most of us know this.
So how close are we to that point? Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus detailed some of the things that we should expect to see as conditions turn apocalyptic…
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
Could it be possible that “the beginning of sorrows” is nearly upon us?
Without a doubt, we are living in a time when there are lots of rumors of wars. Russia and Ukraine nearly went to war this month, and if that would have happened the U.S. would have definitely gotten involved, and that could have led us directly into World War 3.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and China are now closer to military conflict than they have been at any point since the end of the Korean War. Taiwan is the main source of tension at the moment, but there are other flashpoints that could cause war between our two nations to erupt as well.
In the last 48 hours, however, developments in Israel have taken center stage globally. Dozens of rockets were fired into Israel on Saturday night, and terror groups are warning that “worse was still to come”…
Two terror groups in Gaza took responsibility on Saturday for the salvos of rockets fired at Israel overnight, saying the attack was in response to violent clashes in Jerusalem in recent days and that worse was still to come.
Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades said that they were behind the 36 rockets fired at Israel, linking the attack to the unrest in and around the Old City.
Everyone knows that a major war is going to erupt in the Middle East at some point.
It is just a matter of time.
Switching gears, we continue to see large earthquakes shake our planet at a very alarming rate, and more volcanoes that were once very quiet continue to roar to life.
On Sunday morning, it was Japan’s turn to experience a major eruption…
The Sakurajima volcano in southwestern Japan erupted on early Sunday, sending a column of smoke over 2.3 kilometers above the crater, the weather agency said.
Following the eruption at 1:09 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency issued an eruption alert, urging people in the cities of Kagoshima and Tarumizu in Kagoshima Prefecture to protect themselves from potential impact of the volcanic activity.
Of course those that follow my work on a regular basis know that the volcano in Japan that I really have my eye on is Mt. Fuji. When it finally blows, the death toll will be off the charts.
Needless to say, “pestilence” has been a major theme over the past year as well. We are being told that the number of new coronavirus cases just hit a brand new record high globally, and it appears that this pandemic will be with us for the foreseeable future.
But if we really are moving into “the beginning of sorrows”, we should expect even more “pestilences” to strike the globe, and they will be even worse than what we have experienced so far.
As for “famines”, the good news is that nobody in the United States is starving at the moment.
But I did just publish an article in which I talked about how global food prices are now soaring, and this is causing hunger to rise very rapidly in impoverished areas of the planet.
Coming into this year, the head of the UN’s World Food Program did warn that we would soon see “famines of biblical proportions”, and unfortunately we are well on the way to that actually happening.
On top of everything else, the global persecution of Christians continues to rise.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom just released a report that documented many of the specifics of this rising trend, and one expert that worked on the report stated that “Christians are being persecuted around the world at a pace not seen since the first century”.
Is it just a coincidence that all of these things are happening at the same time?
At this point, even some of the top faith leaders in the entire nation are acknowledging that we have entered a very ominous time. For example, just consider a statement that James Dobson just made…
“Though I am not a prophet, it appears to me that divine judgment has befallen our nation. The evil one, Satan (who always has only been able to operate within parameters permitted by the Lord, e.g., Job 1:7, 12), appears to be unleashing his assault on our culture with even greater ferocity. He is creating chaos in our cities and schools, and is stalking the halls of government. It is as though, because we have replaced the truth with a lie, God has given us over to a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:25, 28),” Dobson explained.
“Why do I draw such a conclusion? It is because our nation is divided into warring camps, with violence and pestilence plaguing the land. Sixty-two million babies have been murdered in cold blood, and hundreds of millions of additional federal dollars have been allocated to expand the unborn holocaust. And the institutions of marriage and the family are under siege. Our birthrate is falling, and our children are being taught hate and sexual perversion in our government schools. How can a holy God look upon such debauchery and stay His righteous hand? He cannot.”
And during a recent interview with Todd Starnes, Franklin Graham came to a very similar conclusion…
“Christians need to get on their knees and pray that God would intervene and somehow save this nation or give us more time because I believe judgment is coming,” said Graham. “I really do, Todd, I think God’s judgment is coming.”
Are they right?
Have we really reached the point of no return?
People have been sounding the alarm for decades, but up to now we have always been given more time to turn things around.
Unfortunately, at some point we will completely run out of time, and many believe that day is fast approaching.
End Times Ping
PM me if you wish to be added to or removed from The End Times Ping List.
We should all be repenting daily and not just for ourselves but for our nation.
Maranatha!
Husbands have for ever.
Every day after the wedding.
Brother, ain’t that the truth? *chuckle*
The “Now I can stop having sex” works for that too
I would submit that we are quite possibly 3.5 years into that time period referred to by Jesus. Please bear with me... i’m not date setting the rapture date here, or claiming we are already in the Tribulation.
I would say with near 100% certainty that what was described in Revelation Chapter 12 literally took place on Sept 27, 2017. Without any question, that alignment MEANT SOMETHING! We just don’t know what it was.
Many were sure that this sign signaled the rapture, among other things... but when the date came and went without anything happening, all of the speculators had egg on their face... and yet again it was proven that nobody knows the day or the hour of His return for His bride.
And yet... God’s Word says that He placed the moon and the stars in the heavens as signs for seasons and appointed times... MARKERS if you will... even the Bethlehem star guided wise men to the birthplace of the Messiah.... so what did it mean?
I offer this as a very STRONG POSSIBILITY... NOT a prediction... and it has very little to do with the rapture date, other than I think it will happen within the next 3.5 years.
The “beginning of sorrows”... that time BEFORE the tribulation when we would see all these things happening before it all began I think has a specified period of 7 years... like the tribulation... Why???
Well, Pharoah’s dream interpreted by Joseph depicted 7 fat cows which were swallowed up by 7 famined cows. It was a prophetic event which occurred in Joseph’s time, and yet was in and of itself prophetic of a future time period... specifically the 7 years before the tribulation, followed by the 7 years OF tribulation.
Now... God gives no marker for His return for the church... but everything else he has set times for. Even Jesus criticized scholars for not knowing WHEN He would arrive on earth. SO.... ** I F ** Sept 27, 2017 was a MARKER for the beginning of the 7 years BEFORE Tribulation, that places the beginning of the tribulation period to around Sept of 2024... with the rapture occurring anytime before that.
So if we are still around after 2024, then I really have no idea what that “great sign” of Rev 12 could possibly be referring to. Nothing else is really relevant. Again... just a possibility... a very strong one I might add.
This country has gone stark raving mad. All according to the plan of the Ruling Establishment.
Next stop...Totalitarian City.
So,
What was this
Alignment, Sept.27 2017 ?
.
I missed something.
You are right. Prepare accordingly.
Things aren’t so wonderful
Those of us with open eyes and minds can see that.
We aren’t buying what the media is pushing.
We had a lot of droughts, floods, and locust invasions that destroyed a lot of food crops.
Another year like last one and there will be no more reserves to call on.
It behooves those who can to prep and to learn to grow their own food.
I believe it had to do with Jupiter passing through Virgo, the Virgin.
Are the Stars Lining Up on September 23 for the Lord’s Return?

LOLOLOLOL
I remember that,
Kind struck me as
a warning post more
than a Biblical point
in Time.
We Shall See.
If someone wants to argue the Tribulation is at the door, the Departure of the Body of Christ is even nearer. whne the Christmas decorations go up in early November, you know Christmas is coming. BUT WIT! That means Thanksgiving is even closer!
We Will be One Day
Closer,
Tomorrow.
God Willing.
Something just doesn’t feel right. And hasn’t since 2008.
I can’t explain it further than that.
Things just don’t “feel” normal. Things last felt “normal” to me even in 2004.
>>> I believe it had to do with Jupiter passing through Virgo, the Virgin.
There was A lot more to it than that.
Jupiter went into retrograde motion in the womb area of Virgo for 42 weeks (9 months). To us it appeared somewhat stationary for that time before exiting again towards the feet (birth canal) on Sept 27 2017. At that time of exiting, The sun was aligned on Virgo’s shoulder, the moon was at her feet, and there were 12 stars above her head (leo = 9 stars + 3 of our planets lined up right next to it)
This particular alignment has not happened since Adam and Eve walked the earth, and does not happen again for a LONG time.
This alignment is described perfectly in revelation chapter 12, and is the only sign in the bible referred to as “great”. There was a LOT of date setting by people then over this. It was obviously a big let down... but my point is that it DID mean something... just not what people thought.
If you keep reading, the next event astronomically speaking is the appearance of the red dragon.
we have not seen that part of it yet, and it would most likely coincide with the time frame of the tribulation period. (Nibiru?) not sure... who knows?
Thank you for explaining it better.
It was those details I did not remember.
