"3 Dangerous Predictions"

Imagine, if you will, getting an advance copy of tomorrow's headlines today. It would certainly make for an interesting  Super Bowl, (not to mention stock portfolio).

Prophecy pundit Hal Lindsey puts it this way:

"Everyone wants to know what happens next. That makes predicting the future big business. Huge corporations spend millions on consulting firms to tell them what's around the corner. Many of these consultants create computer models that take known facts and attempt to extrapolate from them an understanding of the unknown future."

On Monday, three dangerous predictions were made.


For instance, The International Monetary Fund threw global policymakers for a loop on Monday by predicting a trade war could trigger a sharp economic slow down around the world which  sent the markets plummeting.

While in Tehran, Iranian Air Force Chief Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh predicted the demise of Israel as the violence between the two nations escalated over the weekend and edged dangerously close to war. "Iran is fully ready and impatient to confront the Zionist regime and eliminate it from the earth," Nasirzadeh said. His words on Monday did nothing but throw fuel on the fire.

And finally...The world is going to end in 12 years unless the government takes action (and by 'action' she means throw more $ at it), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) predicted Monday in regards to global warming:

"At some point these chronic realities do reach a breaking point. Young people understand that climate change is an existential threat. 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane Maria. The UN says we've got 12 years left to fix it."

A recent poll predicts 74% of Dems would vote for the 29 year-old for president if only she were old enough.

(Care to predict the consequences of that?!)

A wise man once said: "God doesn't have to guess. God can  and does reveal certain things about the future to us. Through the prophet Daniel, He correctly laid out a detailed outline of world history from Daniel's time forward, covering the next 600 years. In our time, we see the nations of the world aligning themselves in ways predicted by Daniel and other prophets...so what's going to happen? All the things God promised." -- Hal Lindsey, author

"I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'" Isaiah 46:10

"Trump: NWO's Worst Nightmare"

Once again leaders from all over the globe will rear their ugly heads and pour into Davos, Switzerland next week for the annual World Economic Forum (WEF).

This year's theme? Globalization, of course.

And while Donald J. Trump will not be attending, you can be sure he will get the blame for everything under the sun.

For instance, John Drzik, president of the global risk management firm Marsh, told CNBC:

"The rise of nationalist agendas around the world is creating friction among states as well as weakening multilateral institutions."

Translation? Trump's MAGA policies are jamming a monkey wrench into our One-World, Open-Borders plan.

"It's not just in the U.S.," Drzik complained. "Here in the U.K. you have Brexit, but in Brazil, Italy, Austria and Hungary there are lots of populist political figures who are getting elected and changing the agenda to be more protectionist and more nationalist and, as a result, weakening the multilateral bonds that were there and that's expected to continue into 2019."

In other words, the folks are electing uncooperative outsiders and the elitists don't like it.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) cited "trade tensions" when it downgraded its global growth forecast for 2019, as did The World Bank.

The underlying implications?

Trump can't be controlled. How dare he try to get a better deal for American companies.

The Bible tells us that the devil's end-time plan is a one-world government, one-world monetary system, and one-world religion--a New World Order (NWO). This is a plan that threatens every freedom we have.

It seems Donald J. Trump is God's counter-balance to slow down (but not stop) the devil's plan.

That makes Trump the NWO's worst nightmare.

A wise man once said: "Christianity and the Bible are a threat to this Global plan. So is anyone who thinks for themselves." -- Rodney Howard-Browne, founder of Revival Ministries International

"Then he said to me, "This fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it" (Daniel 7:23).

"The Most Terrifying Bible Prophecy"

Every year the soothsayers crawl out of the woodwork with their predictions and every year the masses eat it up. But the Bible? Not so much. And yet:

• The Bible is the only prophetic book there is.
• The Bible is actually a compilation of books that tell the future in very specific and detailed prophecies that God uses to authenticate His authorship.
• The Bible reveals God's plan for mankind from the very beginning to the very end.

The result? The Bible proves God's existence, His purpose, His great love for mankind and the great lengths He went to in order to save us from an eternity separated from Him.

The problem? Most people will never bother to read the Bible.

As every major player and global trend continues to fit into place exactly as the Bible predicts, we believe the prophecy detailed in 1 Thessalonians 5: 2-3 may come in our lifetime:

"For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, 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 about to be born. And there will be no escape."

We're living in an age of deception filled with false doctrine, fabricated science and fake news. The scariest thing about deception is, when it's done well, we don't know we're being deceived.

The Bible warns against end-time deception that will accelerate once the church is taken out of the way and the Master Deceiver arrives on the scene.

"The coming of the lawless one (aka The Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

Ultimately, God will give people what they want. If you don't want God now--don't assume you'll want Him later.

"Behold now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

A wise man once said: "If you're not grounded in the Scriptures you'll be swept away by the deception that's coming." -- Jack Hibbs, senior pastor Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

"Like A Thief In The Night"

"First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. This will be their argument:

'Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He?'

"But you must not forget, dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise to return, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief ... and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment" (2 Peter 3: 4, 8-10).

Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship contends:

"The scoffers described in this passage mistook Christ's delayed return to earth to mean that there would be no final judgment at all. They not only doubted Christ's return but forgot about God's judgment in the past. More importantly, these scoffers overlooked God's love and mercy. It is for their sake that God is restraining His judgment because 'He doesn't want anyone to perish.'"

But does that mean Christ will never come back?

Not according to Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries. She believes that by recognizing the precise signs and patterns predicted in the Bible we can know we are the generation that will see His return.

Here's a condensed version of Markell's watchlist:

• Nationalism is scorned and globalism is celebrated, destabilizing Europe. France's Emmanuel Macron makes astounding one-world statements, including wanting to offer Israel a peace plan. If the Antichrist is to come out of Europe, that continent is preparing the way for him.
• Israel's re-birth is a reminder that God keeps His promises. Donald Trump kept a promise and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem on her 70th anniversary. The dry bones prophecy of Ezekiel 37 came to life in May of 1948. This is the miracle of all time. The dry bones (Israel) stood on their feet a great army and in 2018 were declared the 8th strongest nation in the world!
• In 2018 "Birth-Pangs" became apocalyptic when unprecedented disasters struck the globe.
• Trump's decision to pull troops out of Syria opens a pathway from Iran to Israel. Russia, Turkey, Sudan, Libya and many nations are prophesied to attack Israel(Ez,38). This action could further cause Israel to strike Damascus and fulfill the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy.
• The decline in moral character and the tragic rise of evil prophesied in 2 Timothy 3 is steadily increasing. Paganism and witchcraft soar as Christianity declines with millennials proclaiming they do not need God. There is a growing love of evil while good is denounced.
• There's a shocking escalation of apostasy and mocking of Bible prophecy. Most churches no longer teach the 1/3 of the Bible which is prophecy.
• Intrusive technology invades homes and paves the way for the Antichrist.
• The Pope is the ultimate globalist who could easily slide into the role of false prophet, sidekick to the Antichrist.
• Preparation for the 3rd Temple accelerated in 2018. Prophesied to be built in Jerusalem early in the Tribulation, this activity is a sign of things to come.

A wise woman once said: "Things are falling into place. Jesus is coming soon...the headlines are a herald of His coming." -- Jan Markell

"See I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to repay all according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:12-14).

"2019: Future Trends"

With the New Year breathing down our necks, trend "experts" are chomping at the bit with insights into what 2019 will bring.

Top of the list? Multi-tasking mirrors, according to WGSN. That's right folks, mirrors aren't just for looking anymore.

"Don't be surprised if come 2019 you hear your mirror telling you you're running low on vitamin D or running late for that crucial meeting while you're brushing your teeth in the morning!" explains WGSN. Mirrors will also double as lighting devices, calendars, and entertainment systems as well as health trackers. Who knew?

And then there's every body's favorite trends prognosticator, Gerald Celente, with his yearly dose of Doom & Gloom. A little Celente goes a long way, so you only get two of his Top 10 Mega Trends:

• An economic 9/11 is poised to strike causing a world-wide equity markets meltdown. Yikes.
• The Great Migration trend accelerates across the globe, as do populist movements that will dismantle entrenched governments and push nationalism. Double yikes.

Even the Director of National Intelligence is interested in predicting future trends.

Every four years since 1997, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) has published an unclassified strategic assessment of how key trends might shape up over the next 20 years.

"We identify global "drivers" and estimate their impact," says the NIC. Meeting globally with a range of experts, they don their thinking caps and gaze into the future based on present trends and what they see as possible "global trajectories." Good luck with that.

The only sure-fire trend? The Bible will continue to predict the future with 100% accuracy.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is woven with predictions. In fact, more than 1/4 of the Bible is prophecy. Most of them (roughly 80%) have already been fulfilled. God uses prophecy to authenticate His Word. If the prophetic scriptures prove true, and history tells us they do, then we can also trust what they teach about Jesus and God's plan of salvation. (See the How To Go To Heaven link at the end of this post).

Meanwhile, the remaining 20% of unfulfilled prophecy will probably be fulfilled in our lifetime as every major player and global trend continue to fall into place exactly as the Bible predicts. So, if you want to know what the future holds--study the Bible.

A wise man once said: "To the student of prophecy, it all fits into a precise pattern that was predicted long ago. It motivates me to tell as many family and friends and even strangers as possible before it's too late." -- Hal Lindsey, author

"I am God, and there is no one else like Me. Only I can tell you what is going to happen even before it happens" (Isaiah 46: 9-10).

"Killing Christmas"

The Grinch who stole Christmas is alive and well in Victoria, Canada in an apparent body-snatch of Councillor Ben Isitt.

His goal? Less Christmas, more diversity in seasonal decorations.

In other words--forget about decking the (public) halls with boughs of holly, firing up the lights or dressing a tree for the Holiday. Isitt wants things "secularized".

"I don't want a poinsettia. It is a symbol of the Christian faith," he complained, adding that the city's main Sequoia tree should not be lit up and turned into a Christmas tree because that is not "inclusive" enough and may offend Muslims.

Then there's the Nebraska principal, Jennifer Sinclair, who sent a memo banning teachers from using Christmas or holiday-related symbols or activities in the classroom, including:decorating Christmas trees

• singing Christmas carols
• playing Christmas music
• Elf on the Shelf (seriously?)
• making ornaments as gifts
• reindeer
• no Christmas videos/movies and/or characters from Christmas movies
• (and last but not least...) no candy canes!!!

Why no candy canes, you ask?  Sinclair told the teachers in the memo that candy canes are shaped in a "J for Jesus", and that the red is for the "blood of Christ" and "white is a symbol of His resurrection".

Sinclair's memo went viral and the very next day the principal was placed on administrative leave by the school district,  reports CNN.

Score one for the good guys and check this out: Most Americans still believe Jesus is the reason for the season, this according to a new Rasmussen poll.

67% believe Christmas should be more about Jesus Christ than about Santa Claus.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Grinch.

A wise woman once said: "More that two thousand years ago, a little baby was born in a manger; an event that changed the world. This boy-child, Jesus, is the promised Messiah who stepped down from Heaven to be born as a babe, live a sinless life and willingly give His life as the Perfect Lamb of God to pay a sin debt that He did not owe. As foretold in the Scriptures, He did this for you and me and the whole world. When we believe this simple truth, Jesus' payment for sin is accounted to us and we are promised eternal life."  -- Pamela Rose Williams

"Strange Seismic Wave Circles Globe: 'Remarkably Weird', Says Scientists"

Last month a strange, 9,000 mph seismic wave rippled across our planet, leaving seismologist @ALomaxNet baffled, as he quickly put out an alert over Twitter.

National Geographic reports; "On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.

"The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.

"These waves didn't just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them."

Researchers around the globe racked their brains for the source of the waves--"Could it be a meteor strike? A submarine volcano eruption? An ancient sea monster rising from the deep?" asked NatGeo.

"I don't think I've seen anything like it," says Göran Ekström, a seismologist at Columbia University who specializes in unusual earthquakes. "Many features of the waves are remarkably weird--from their surprisingly monotone, low-frequency "ring" to their global spread."

And though researchers are still chasing down an explanation for this geological mystery, scientists believe they may have a potential answer: The collapse of an underground magma chamber.

While interesting, this worldwide "seismic wave" doesn't compare to what the Bible predicts will happen someday in the future.

The 6th Seal of Revelation depicts a global earthquake that is so powerful it moves every mountain and island out of place. Revelation also mentions earthquakes in Chapters 8:5, 11:13 and 11:19 concluding with the greatest earthquake in mankind's history. 

"And there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as has not occurred since men were on the earth"  (Revelation 16:18).

Unfortunately, it appears today's seismologists really haven't seen anything yet.

A wise man once said: "Various Scriptures warn us that the end-time events will come to pass suddenly and unexpectedly. God issued a warning that we should not be weighed down by the cares of this life so that the day of Christ's return arrives when we are not prepared. For it will come at a time when the world least expects it." -- Andre Van Blekum, Life, Hope & Truth

"But you aren't in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won't be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief...So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be sober" (1 Thessalonians 5: 4,6).
