Good morning readers, we’re up for another exciting study on where we are at right now when it comes to the fulfilling of the prophecies from the book of Revelation. Like I had mentioned before, there are prophecies that had been fulfilled in the Bible itself (such as the coming of the Messiah in the book of Daniel, and the capturing of Israel by Babylon, also in the book of Daniel and Isaiah). Now we can’t really relate with stories of the past as such since we weren’t there, even though we know it’s true. But I doubt if you’ll deny seeing what’s happening right Infront of your eyes. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about us and the times we are living in. Let’s focus on our current reality and what the Bible, a book written 2000 years ago, said would happen…and is happening right now.
What causes people to believe in false prophets despite of being warned?(Revelation 13:11-14 )
In Revelation 13, the text warns of false prophets who will deceive many with miraculous signs. We have been bombarded by these on the screens. The rise of charismatic leaders throughout history who have led nations astray. Using actors to manipulate events and claim miracles. Others using devil worship in church and using demonic powers to deceive christians with shows of healing miracles and supernatural manifestations. Because people are too lazy to read the word of God on their own nowadays, thanks to the low attention spans we have developed as a result of social media and microwave expectations, people will marvel at the signs and believe these miracles to be from God. Such charismatic leaders end up defrauding the believers resulting in accumulation of wealth and power on their part all the whole creating dependency and poverty on the believers. This is common in many African countries. What a time to be alive huh?
What are the interpretations concerning globalization and world economy?(Revelation 13:16-17)
Revelation 13:16-17 speaks of a time when a mark will be required for buying and selling. Some interpret this as a reference to a global economic system or a one-world currency. Advocates point to the increasing interconnectedness of the world’s economies and the ongoing discussions about a cashless society as signs of the prophecy’s fulfillment. This has been seen with the rise of online currency, such as Bitcoin and it’s daughters and now with the Bill Gates and Elon Musk agenda (the latter having claimed to be “The devil’s champion”) bring in implanted microchips and nano-technology in the vulnerable population (those that cannot say no to it, such as new born babies and the lame that get artificial spines to enable walking), I forsee a new future where fiat money will be a thing of the past.
Are there wars and rumors of wars ? (Revelation 6:4)
The Bible predicts that there will be wars and rumors of wars before the end times.
This is pretty much happening right Infront of our eyes. Russia and Ukrain, Israel and Palestine, the USA-China cold war, Kachin conflict, Karen conflict, Rohingya conflict, Karen–Mon conflict, Conflict in Rakhine State…and these arw just the ones we know of. The Bible mentions the epic showdown that is to come between the US and China.It mentions the drying of the Euphrates river which will allow armies from the East ( speculated to be China), leading a front towards the West. It also mentions that the drying of this river will result in the release of four demons (“angels”) who had been bound under it, resulting in the death of 1/3 of the worlds population. Now I don’t know much , but I can speculate that such deaths in such sudden manners can easily come through wars. Especially with nuclear bombs in our current technology.
Are there cases of famines and pestilences? (Revelation 6:5-6)
Revelation 6:5-6 describes the presence of famine and pestilence. Proponents of the prophecy’s fulfillment point to historical instances of widespread hunger and devastating diseases that have afflicted nations. Well, we don’t have to go too far from home for this one, especially if you are around Africa. Famine has been part of our challenges but off late it has grown into severe proportions. And it’s not just the hunger, we’ve had pestilences that have affected the entire world. COVID 19 being the best example…and now there’s a new virus in the pipeline. They call it virus X. It is speculated that it is being engineered as we speak….We’ll, let’s wait and see how things unfold in the near future now, shall we?
Are there alarming cases of natural Disasters? (Revelation 16:18-21)
Revelation 16:18-21 vividly portrays catastrophic natural disasters, including earthquakes, storms, and hailstorms. Supporters argue that the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters in recent times align with the apocalyptic imagery outlined in the Bible. Turkey is the world wide known example, but it’s not the only place that has suffered this. China, Japan, Tonga, Brazil, Colombia and others all have suffered heavy casualties recently….and they say these prophecies aren’t true?
Have you heard of the rebuilding of the Temple? (Revelation 11:1-2)
Revelation 11:1-2 speaks of the measuring of the temple in Jerusalem. Some believe that this prophecy alludes to the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple. Discussions and plans for rebuilding the Temple have been ongoing. The Jews have been flying back to Israel from their places of exile ( thanks to Germany and Pakistan), for majorly this purpose. Once it’s rebuilt, then the real show down starts. Since this is where the antichrist will claim his power, 3.5 years into the 7 years of tribuoation….but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Is there decline of moral values? (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
Although not directly from Revelation, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 warns of a time when people will be lovers of themselves, without self-control, and lovers of pleasure rather than God. Believers argue that the decay of moral values in contemporary society aligns with the biblical prediction of a world where ethical standards are eroded. We don’t need to go too far with this. With websites containing sexually explicit content and social media encouraging “self-pimping” , where anybody can make a buck. Men and women having no self respect and being attracted to the unnatural…I mean, it’s a crazy time to live for Christians. We should guard ourselves.
Is there increase in unveiling of hidden knowledge ?(Daniel 12:4, Revelation 10:4)
Daniel 12:4 and Revelation 10:4 suggest an increase in knowledge and the unsealing of hidden wisdom. Proponents interpret this as a reference to the rapid advancements in technology and the unveiling of scientific understanding that characterize the modern age.But it doesn’t stop at technology.Metaphysysical secrets have been released everywhere. Witchcraft, sorcery, demonology, angeology. Bothe good and bad knowledge had been released on the internet where anyone can easily access. It’s marketed under new age doctrines and we call them vibes and vibrations when they really are metaphysical concepts. We are in the age of information, we just have to focus on the information that will help us succeed in getting to heaven,ladies and gentlemen.
In Conclusion
While these interpretations offer intriguing perspectives, it’s essential to approach biblical prophecy with a nuanced understanding. We are indeed in the end times readers. And the devil is no. longer private with his presence. It is in our media, churches, among his agents ( people we might consider friends ,family or charismatic leaders we look up to).
We have to be vigilant and we need to guard our hearts.Work on your faith and seek Jesus as your salvation. Because a day will come when Jesus will return like a thief and take his saints “dressed in White”, leaving all the others behind to suffer the 7 year tribulation.Now I don’t know about you, but I do know this….I don’t like the sound of 7 years of pain with a sure death of 1000 years. It’s easier to just suffer now by denying yourself pleasure for 1000 years of peace and healing in the city of gold where it has been promised to all believers that live as God commanded. In a priestly fashion.
