"The Least Happy People Have 2 Things In Common"

Americans are unhappier than they've ever been before.  According to a recent study by The Institute for Family Studies:

"The last few years have been hard on everyone...Pandemic disease, lockdowns, protests, riots, crime, divisive politics, shootings, deaths of dispair, and an epidemic of loneliness-the list of reasons for being not-too-happy seem to be legion," the study found.

The least happy? 

"Unmarried and not religious. Today, 60% of people under 35 fit this category...more young people lack the vital support of a spouse and a religious community, and thus new forms of adversity can rapidly lead to astonishingly severe levels of unhappiness," the study revealed.

Not surprising, when you consider that a new Gallop Poll found both faith in God and the Bible have dipped to all-time lows, with younger, more liberal Americans the least likely to believe in either.

The Bible predicts there will be a great apostacy--a rebellion or abandonment of the truth--during the endtimes. This will include a wholesale rejection of God's revelation found in the Bible, a further "falling away" of an already fallen world.

GotQuestions.org put it this way:

"In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Paul makes it clear that the day of the Lord, a time of worldwide judgment (Isaiah 13:6; Obadiah 1:15), will not transpire until two things happen. First, the falling away, or great apostacy, must occur. Second, the 'man of lawlessness' must be revealed, he who is called the 'son of perdition' also known as the Antichrist. Once this person makes himself known, the endtimes will indeed have come."

According to the polls, we are well into the 'falling away or great apostacy.' The time to secure your salvation is now--once the Church is removed and the 'son of perdition' shows up it will be too late to escape the coming time of Tribulation.

A wise man once said: "The Greek word translated "rebellion" or "falling away" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is apostasia, from which we get the English word 'apostacy'. It refers to a general defection from the true God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. Every age has its defectors, but the falling away at the endtimes will be complete and world wide. The whole planet will be in rebellion against God and His Christ. Every coup requires a leader, and into this global apostacy will step the Antichrist. We believe this takes place after the church has been raptured from the earth." - GotQuestions.org

"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold" (MATTHEW 24:10-12).

"3 Startling Predictions for 2024"

Financial and geopolitical analyst Martin Armstrong, has a knack for predicting the future, or rather, his Socrates computer program does.

Legendary and sought after by world leaders for its uncanny accuracy, Socrates has three startling predictions for 2024:

1. A  GOP win for president

2. Global Civil unrest/chaos

3. An August or September war

Socrates "sees" increasingly difficult economic & international instability and unrest that will reach a tipping point by summer or early fall.

Armstrong believes the global unrest is a byproduct of  economic instability. "Both of these cycles are converging at the same time," he says.

And lastly, Armstrong believes the probability of  a false flag incident which triggers WWIII is unfortunately high.

Britt Gillette of Prophecy News Watch also sees a convergence taking place, a convergence of multiple prophetic signs:

• Israel back in the Land/the Jews back in Jerusalem (Jeremiah 23:7-8, Ezekiel 29:28, Isaiah 11:12, Psalm 103:7).
• Widespread deception (Matthew 24).
• Worldwide unrest/lawlessness (Matthew 24).
• Rise of Gog/Magog Alliance: Russia, Iran, Turkey (Ezekiel 38).
• A united Europe comprised of both weak and strong nations (Daniel 2:42).
• Epidemics/famines/earthquakes (Matthew 24).
• Wars and rumors of war (Matthew 24).

Jan Markell of Olivetree Ministries agrees and goes on to say:

"How can I not reference the raging apostasy, the wolves among the flock, and the doctrine of demons, all thriving in many churches today? This sad state of church affairs may be one of the most significant signs of the times out there...I could list dozens more. We are trending towards the Tribulation, the 'time of Jacob's trouble.' The stage is being set now. The curtain for the last act could rise any day. End-time activity is now at a record level."

One of the last signs according to Britt Gillette? Ironically, it's this:

Scoffers who deny the signs are even happening (see 2 PETER 3:3-4).

A wise man once said: "What is the number one prophetic sign? What sign more than any other points to the soon return of Jesus Christ? While any number of signs are present, I believe one stands out above all others. In fact, Jesus Himself told us what it is. When the disciples said, "Tell us the signs of your coming and the end of the age (MATTHEW 24:3), Jesus detailed a number of things to look for. He then said, "When you see all these things, you can know My return is near. I'm right at the door." (MATTHEW 24:33). He also said, "When all these things begin to happen, look up for your salvation is near!" (LUKE21:28). This means the number one sign of Jesus' return is all the signs appearing together."

  -Britt Gillette

"...when you see the events I've described beginning to happen, you can know His return is very near, right at the door." (MATTHEW 25:33).

"Mainstreaming Mysticism...The Religion Of Millennials?"

The U.S. witch population is rising astronomically--to the tune of 1.5 million, according to Quartzy, Basic Witches. And its popularity isn't just growing--it levitating.

Apparently, anyone can be a witch. They pride themselves on being inclusive, although witchcraft tends to appeal to a certain type of demographic--you guessed it--young, liberal women.

According to Quartzy:

"The typical witch nowadays (and it's mostly she, though more men are starting to join in) examines her dreams for clues about her unconscious and fills her life with rituals. She probably attends new-moon gatherings or has an altar in her home. She might cast spells using crystals or herbs for manifestations of wealth and love. And she likely believes in polygamy, too."

Author Julie Roys, formerly of Moody Radio, believes, "It makes sense that witchcraft and the occult would rise as society becomes increasingly postmodern. The rejection of Christianity has left a void that people, as inherently spiritual beings, will seek to fill. Plus, Wicca has effectively repackaged witchcraft for millennial consumption. No longer is witchcraft and paganism satanic and demonic," she said.

GotQuestions.org begs to differ.

"The Bible has a lot to say about witchcraft. Witchcraft and its many cousins, such as fortune-telling and necromancy, are Satan's counterfeits to holy spirituality. The Bible expressly condemns all forms of witchcraft.

"Since the Garden of Eden, Satan's major focus has been to divert the human heart away from worship of the One true God. He entices humans with the suggestion of power, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment. To become involved in witchcraft in any way is to enter Satan's realm. Modern entanglements with witchcraft include:

• horoscopes
• Ouija boards
• Eastern meditation rituals
• casting spells 
• using crystals or herbs
• worshiping creation rather than the Creator

 "Witchcraft and its many counterparts promise spirituality but lead only to emptiness  and death. Only Jesus has the words of life (John 6:68)."

A wise man once said: "Why seek any power apart from the source of all real power? Why seek spirits who are not the Holy Spirit?" -- GotQuestions.org

"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that came from demons" - 1TIMOTHY 4:1.

"The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" - 2CORINTHANS 4:4.

"Where Are We On God's Prophetic Timeline?"

Because so few mainline churches teach on Bible prophecy, many have no idea how far along the prophetic timeline we have come.

Prophecy expert Bill Salus contends God's calendar of endtime events has a definite beginning-the rebirth of the nation of Israel-and another major sign- post signaling we are getting close to the end.

"The re-establishment of Israel on May 14, 1948 is when the world's hour glass made its final turn," Salus declares.

"The Magog invasion of  Israel (see Ezekiel 38-39), is the other major prophetic maker for this generation to consider. Ezekiel 38:1-39:20 contains forty-three verses of some of the most consolidated and descriptive prophetic information found anywhere within the Bible. The reader of these passages doesn't need to be a Bible scholar, rocket scientist, or even a believer to glean a relatively detailed understand of this forthcoming prophecy. By interpreting these verses literally the reader is made aware of the:

• Timing of the event- (in the endtimes) Ezekeil 38:8,16
• Identities of the invading coalition- (Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc.) Ezekiel 38:1-5
• Motivation for the invasion of Israel- (to plunder Israel) Ezekiel 38:12-13
• Supernatural defeat of the invaders- (through earthquakes, pestilence, flooding rains and great hailstones) Ezekiel 38:18-23

Salus places this invasion just before the 7 years of tribulation, but after the Rapture of the Church.

So, how far along the prophetic timeline are we?

According to Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel, the Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38 is being formed before our very eyes. Last week Amir reported that:

"Russia, Turkey and Iran's presidents are going to meet next week. An Arab diplomatic source just confirmed to me that Putin, Erdogan and Raisi will have a trilateral summit in Tehran next week...we are watching some very interesting developments...the mainstream news is not telling you the truth. Iran has enough enriched-uranium right now to make at least five nuclear bombs...and nobody is doing anything about it...when the time comes, they will come against Israel."

 According to Bill Salus, when they do, it will officially herald the 'final stage' of the endtimes prophetic timeline.

A wise woman once said: "Things are happening so quickly that observers of the times can't keep up. It's as though the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are now out of the barn...No previous generation has seen this stunning convergence allowing everything to fall into place." - Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father's home and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there" (JOHN 14:1-4).

"America: Divided We Fall"

Has the Deep State really infiltrated every American institution including:

• the FBI, CIA, DHS, IRS
• the public education system
• the entertainment industry
• the mainstream news media
• and all 3 branches of government?

Ask the people on the right side of the aisle and some will answer with a resounding- 'yes, our country is being hijacked by a shadow government bent on destroying America from the inside out.'

Ask the Left (or "Progressives") and they will look at you askance while tracing "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" circles next to their ear, indicating only the "crazies" or conspiracy-theorists believe that stuff. America's problem, they'll say is the racist conservatism, or more specifically: Donald J. Trump, and his ignorant, bigoted supporters. The best thing for the country? Get rid of:

• Trump and his "deplorable" supporters
• Guns
• Capitalism
• (and last, but not least) borders of any kind

To say America is a divided nation is the understatement of the century. There is an unprecedented "us vs. them" partisan edge permeating every public (and private) institution.

Jesus warned against this, saying, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand" (Matthew 12:25).

"In the endtimes scenario," said Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship, "a number of nations seem to be identified in Bible prophecy. Clearly, we find the nation of Israel. Perhaps we can find the nations of Russia and China in end time events.

"But what amazes me is that I can find no passage in the Scriptures that clearly identifies the United States of America. Where is America in Bible prophecy? Where is the U.S. in the prophetic puzzle?"

According to Laurie, "We may simply fade away as a world power. This is a very likely scenario."

Way back in the 1700's, John Dickerson coined the phrase "United we stand, divided we fall." He was right. Red States + Blue States should = United States. 

Because we sink or swim together.

"Endtimes Cash Crash?"

If the Bible does not speak directly about a global economic collapse, why have prophecy teachers always taught there would be one? Because, just as the doctrine of the Trinity is never spelled out for us, it is undeniably there. An economic collapse is there too--by implication.

One only has to read the Book of Revelation to get a glimpse of what's coming. There will be wars, pestilence, famine and terrible natural disasters, like massive earthquakes, unprecedented drought, heatwaves, and humungus hailstones. Revelation 6 releases the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; #3 mentions food prices. "When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, "Come!" And I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And a voice from among the four living beings said, "A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley for a day's pay. And don't waste the olive oil and wine." This rider on the black horse takes prosperity from the earth and replaces it with famine and hyperinflation.

The Book of James doesn't mince words when it says in Chapter 5: "Look here, you rich people, weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh in hell. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you in the last days."

These Scriptures (among others) paint a bleak economic picture, but Revelation 13:16-17 is the clincher: "He (Antichrist) required everyone--great and small, rich and poor, slave or free--to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything with out that mark..."

Well, we don't know about you--but most people would probably balk at giving up their money in exchange for a mark...unless, of course, their money didn't cut the mustard anymore. The Bible makes it clear these judgments will encompass the entire planet. Who could have guessed 2,000 years ago we'd end up with a global economy?

This doesn't necessarily mean that our current global economic troubles are in any way connected to Bible prophecy. It's possible the world will recover, (or at least seem to do so).

In fact, some Scriptures imply things will appear to be humming along like normal just before the end. In Luke 17, Jesus says: "When the Son of Man returns, the world will be like the people were in Noah's day. In those days before the flood, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came to destroy them all..yes, it will be 'business as usual' right up to the hour when the Son of Man returns."

1 Thessalonians 5 says that Day will come "...expectantly, like a thief in the night. When people are saying, 'All is well; everything is peaceful and secure', then disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a woman's birth pains begin when her child is born. And there will be no escape."

Sounds contradictory until you remember that there are yet two comings of Christ:

1. The Rapture of the church. The church will be rescued, but the world at large will be caught completely off guard and left behind to endure the time of trial that will come upon the whole earth. (Revelation 3:10).
2. The Second Coming of Christ.  Comes 7 years later, when the world is neck deep in judgment.

We're betting the final economic collapse comes sometime between these two events. It's possible the sudden disappearance of millions of people triggers the collapse. Imagine the panic, the absolute chaos.

So, if the Bible predicts a global economic collapse, are we seeing the beginnings of it now? We don't know. It could be just another economic cycle, or it could be one of those famous 'birth pains'. Only time will tell.

"Endtimes? How We Know 4 Sure"

Why is it so difficult to pinpoint exactly where we are on God's Timeline?

Because the signs He gave us to watch for (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21) were not clearly defined.

The disciples asked Jesus what will be the sign of His coming and of the end of the age? He answered by telling them to watch out for:

1. deception
2. wars/rumors of wars
3. famines
4. pestilences
5. earthquakes

That would be fine and dandy if those things had never happened before, but let's face it, there have always been:

1. deception
2. wars/rumors of wars
3. famines
4. pestilences
5. earthquakes

So what's different now?

Israel, of course.

The signs mentioned above were meaningless until the Jews were back in the land. It's important to remember that for almost 2000 years, Israel did not exist, and yet hundreds of prophecies regarding the end of the age refer to Israel, Jerusalem and the Temple. If Israel didn't exist, we couldn't possibly be near the end of the age.

Jesus said those signs were only the beginning. They would increase in both frequency and intensity--just like labor pains in a pregnant woman. But in Luke 21: 28 He says, "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." In other words, the believer won't be here to see the hard labor, though it's probable we'll see the beginning of the birth pains. Jesus put it this way: "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When it's branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, buy My words will by no means pass away." (Matthew 24:32)

B ready 4 anything!
