I’m writing this as volleys of Persian arrows rain down on Israel in response to the attack last Friday.
What’s most striking is to see these postmodern hyperbombs raining down on a city like Tel Aviv. I’ve been to Tel Aviv. It’s like a budget Gold Coast but with more gay people and prostitutes. To see recently built skyscrapers get hit by hypersonic missiles is quite a sight.
Look how fast this hypersonic missile into the heart of Tel Aviv.
Isn’t it ironic after IDF claims of Hamas doing the same thing, that a massive IDF base was built under a Tel Aviv hospital?
That’s a historical turning point for the West, and unfortunately, a likely foreshadowing of what’s ahead. NORTHCOM, the American command centre for forces in the continental United States, just implemented elevated Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures. This would be done in anticipation of attacks on the US homeland in the near future.
They’re even serving up lobster to US troops. The veterans of previous Middle Eastern wars would know what that means.
The populations of nations on both sides in this emerging world war are getting more and more enraged at each explosion and each atrocity. These are the scenes Persians are seeing in Iran after five car bombs were detonated by Mossad in Teheran yesterday.
We’re over the brink now. There’s no stepping back from this anymore. Even if they wanted to, the leaders involved cannot now pull back without facing revolt from their enraged populations.
The actions of Israel in attacking Iran have now provided the trigger for the world to spiral down into nuclear catastrophe.
I have no interest in fearmongering. I have no interest in spreading despair. Yet for over a decade now, I believe the Holy Spirit has been urging me to warn believers and non-believers alike that terrible times are ahead, that they are the result of our sinfulness and that the entire world will be engulfed in them.
Many Christians will casually agree that we’re close to the end of the Age and the events described in Revelation, but few take that seriously enough to make spiritual or physical preparations.
After getting married in 2012, I prayed earnestly for wisdom about the future so that I could fulfil my role as a husband. Sadly, the Lord didn’t tell me to buy Bitcoin. Instead he told me that this material utopia we inhabit, this world of convenience and cheap luxury, is going to end all of a sudden one day soon.
It hasn’t been fun to carry that knowledge. It sends you kind of mad.
I’ve met and learned about quite a few Christians who’ve had the same or a similar experience. Dmitru Duduman, a Romanian believer tortured by the communist authorities in the 70s for smuggling Bibles into the Soviet Union, testified across America later in the 80s that the Lord had shown him visions of America burning for its sin. Rick Wiles, former host of TruNews, along with members of his family, had dreams in the 90s also warning of nuclear judgment on America if there was not mass repentance. Pastor Phillip Barnett received the two ‘Azovmena’ visions of nuclear war in Ukraine while he was working as a missionary there in the 1990s.
In Greece, around about the same time, the Orthodox Christian monk Saint Paisios of Mount Athos also received knowledge from the Lord about the terrible times ahead due to the sinfulness of the world.
Paisios was shown that two events would herald the beginning of the great and terrible nuclear war to come that was God’s judgement upon the nations. The first event, he said, would occur:
“When Israel hits Iran’s nuclear facilities, World War III is here and the red horse is fully marching. Death and hell will follow.”
The second event, which Saint Paisios said would occur around the same time, would be the fall of the leader of Turkey. This hasn’t happened, of course. Erdogan is still in power. We’ll have to wait to see whether Saint Paisios’ prophetic vision is fully realised.
Prophecy is not given to God’s people for the purposes of titillation or pride. There are far too many ‘content creators’ on the internet who sensationalise prophecy to gain a following and take people’s money. They’re usually found out to be false, but they still shamelessly carry on. They besmirch the name of the Lord with their actions. I’m not interested in that.
Prophecy is given to men and women of God in order to do two things. The first is to bring both believers and unbelievers alike to repentance for the purpose of purification and sanctification. The second is to encourage the saints that God is truly in charge and that nothing happens outside of the sovereignty of the Lord.
That prophecy is abused for money and fame is to be expected during our era of deception and delusion. That doesn’t invalidate authentic messages from God, though. It simply means we must exercise discernment.
Nuclear war is coming. Hard times are coming. A great deception that will fool the vast majority of humanity is coming. On the other side of that, however, is the great and terrible Day of the Lord at the end of the Age.
Be sanctified and found holy on that day, friend. All it will cost you is your sin. Repent to Jesus and be saved, for then no matter what happens to this dying meatbag you inhabit down here, you will live forever.
Don’t wait. Just get it done.
And maybe put some food and water away, just to be sure.
