“So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” mat 24:33-35 nkjv

What are “these things,” and what is it that “is near?”

This past few days I read several accounts of things happening in the world that, to me, are very possibly related to “these things, and what is near- at the doors!” The chilling words of Yeshua, that “will by no means pass away,” certainly will happen [at the appointed time], perhaps suddenly to some, but not unexpectedly to those who know their Bible, and study the end times as they correlate to current events of their times. I like to think that I fit somewhere in that group… not by my own wisdom, but by the simple words of Biblical teaching and the leading of Yahweh's forever faithful Holy Spirit. Where do you fit into that “generation that will by no means pass away?” Have you ever considered that you may well be among those “last days” people? What if you are? Do these thoughts trouble you, or do they comfort you... because you trust Yahweh and His handling of things concerning you?

Yeshua, clearly explained these times and events in His “Olivet Discourse,” Matthew Chapter 24; also in Mark Chapter 13; and Luke Chapter 21. I would hope you are familiar with these “fig tree” signs that are given to warn us of the “times in which the last generation will live.” If not, please read these chapters and think about how they relate to our world, national, and cultural news reporting the narrative of destructive daily lifestyles and unsavory appetites of so much of humanity… that shakes its fist into Yahweh’s face and kicks him out of their lifestyles and pursuits. A description of the judgment that caused the great flood of Noah’s day, and the destruction judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, according to Biblical record, could very well be a description of our modern society. What occurs to me is that Yahweh may be getting close to His “fill” of our sinful and rebellious disregard for His shed blood at Calvary.

Here is a short list of the “global” disturbances and totalitarian issues that I read about these past few days, that seem to be telltale signs of things Yeshua said were to come:

1) The revealed activity of our own Government trying to unseat the new duly elected Israeli Government… overthrowing it if possible.
2) The exposed involvement of US Military “hands on” soldiers directly in combat (various ways) against the Russian forces in Ukraine… shortening the fuse time for potential nuclear war. Also, it is a non-approved war that only Congress can authorize, now ongoing without their consent...
3) The advancing Chinese plan to seize Taiwan…
4) Increasing hostilities against Israel by surrounding enemies… and increasing Arab nations collaboration building with China’s brokering of the terms and plans… working with their silk road initiative…
5) Iran’s moving closer to nuclear weapons [in hands of suicidal Muslims]...
6) North Korea testing solid fuel long range ballistic missiles… probably a game changer in their region… because of solid fuel’s short launch window...
7) Unreported civil unrest in France because of Globalist policy to raise retirement age and more...
8) Continued turmoil in Netherlands over farming, namely cattle farms reductions… allegedly, in name of global warming caused by cattle… if it were not so serious, I would still be laughing...
9) Biden Administration plans to reduce and eliminate gas/diesel fueled vehicles… pushing all electric… again for a false narrative for global climate protection, more tragic laughs…
10) More Democrat cities refusing to curb crime and more releases of violent criminals… allowing squatters to reside in homes and on properties belonging to others and refusing to evict them, making the rightful owners to secure their own legal remedy at their own cost and long time court dates…
11) Increasing infringement on parental rights to govern their own children’s lives… especially for perverted sexual teaching and experiential activities (without parents knowledge)…
12) Advances in artificial intelligence [AI] that is being planned into management of healthcare, financial, and general surveillance and control of the masses…
13) Rapidly advancing implementation mechanics of digital currencies that only the “central banks” will be authorized to manage and distribute… outlawing all other exchange methods…
14) Mobility restrictions (sometimes called fifteen mile cities) outside which vehicles and “digital currency” will not operate or be usable…
15) The decline of Faith based institutions and churches that preach the true Biblical message of the gospel and the dilution of once Christian only teachings by incorporation of multi-faith teachings and dilution of Biblical truth with syncretism.
16) The coming coronation of “King Charles” (May 6th, I think), where he is in dispute with the Church of England because he insists he will include multi-faith language in the once “only defender of the faith,” swearing in oath… Some think he may be an underlying source for a more nefarious role in the future…
17) Increasing threats to our food supply and its distribution… source of fertilizer and other strategic elements and materials and components shortages… for keeping high level productivity going.
18) National borders (especially America’s) are like a porous sieve… third world “fighting age” men coming in with no intent of allegiance to Citizenship responsibilities once required to enter.
19) Increasing national (and world) natural disasters… flooding, volcanoes, and earthquakes and other calamities… not to mention a near miss of a sunspot CME that could have proven disastrous…

When one understands the ramifications of the massive problems involved in these “last few days of review I have noted,” (there are more) and when one carefully studies and appreciates the words of Yeshua’s Olivet Discourse, if you are like me, you have to really consider that the “fig tree” season is not very far away… These things do not frighten me as I know the one who’s in charge of my destiny is not going to take His eye off my well being. The tumultuous times Yeshua warned of are for real, they will come… the way I see it, it is up to me to be studying the truth of Biblical teaching and believing Yahweh for His guidance and care for my needs. This is not to say that I will not suffer hardships and persecution… but I know He will go with me through it when it comes. I hope you will seek the same shelter in His gracious provision for those who look for His coming.

Shalom, John
