THE WAR CLOUDS ARE GATHERING - END TIME SIGNS - BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH AND KEEPETH HIS GARMENTS
NEWS UPDATE - 6th October 2022
While the world is staring at a coming food shortage, with millions upon millions of people struggling with the massive rise of costs, sinking further into debt and struggling to put food on the table, the leaders of the nations spend BILLIONS, not on helping people, but upon war machines! The war clouds are certainly gathering, but not only for physical war. There is also a war against the truth, with the leaders of the nations and the fallen churches seeking to silence the truth of God's Word, and God prophesied both of these wars to come in the end times. Look at the two wars building up in the world:
The World Preparing for Physical War:
"North Korea conducts longest-range missile test yet over Japan - Nuclear-armed North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile farther than ever before on Tuesday, sending it soaring over Japan ... The United States asked the U.N. Security Council to meet on North Korea on Wednesday but diplomats said China and Russia are opposed to a public discussion by the 15-member body. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the launch as a 'reckless act' and a violation of Security Council resolutions." (Link)
"US, South Korea conduct precision bomb drills after North Korea fires ballistic missile over Japan - Both U.S. and South Korean warplanes took part in a bombing run using JDAM precision bombs following the incident. Secretary of State Tony Blinken also condemned North Korea's actions as 'reckless and dangerous,' saying he had several calls with South Korean and Japanese officials to coordinate a response." (Link)
"US deploys world's most expensive military ship into the Atlantic with 9,000 troops amid Russia tensions - The USS Gerald R Ford set sail from the State of Virginia and will make its way to the depths of the Atlantic ocean carrying a NATO strike group ... it is understood that the 13.3 billion Euro vessel will house 9000 personnel from nine NATO countries, including the US, Canada, Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden." (Link)
"Putin 'orders nuclear military train to Ukraine' - The Kremlin has been signalling its readiness for a significant escalation as Russia loses ground on the battlefield. Fears over Putin's earlier hints that he might resort to such tactics heightened yesterday with claims that a train operated by the secretive nuclear division was destined for Ukraine." (Link)
"Amid China Tensions, US Conducts Concurrent Bilateral Military Drills With Philippines, Japan - Amid tensions in the South China Sea with China and Beijing's growing aggressiveness toward Taiwan, the U.S. Marines are carrying out two concurrent large-scale bilateral exercises with key allies across the first island chain, from northern Japan through the Philippines. According to a news release, more than 5,500 personnel of the U.S. Marine Corps are participating." (Link)
The World Preparing for Spiritual War Against the Truth:
"World Economic Forum Wants To Use AI To Automatically Censor Speech On The Internet - The World Economic Forum (WEF) proposed a new way of censoring online content that requires a small group of experts to train artificial intelligence on identifying 'misinformation' and abusive content." (Link)
"United Nations Partners with Google to 'Weed out Disinformation' - The United Nations' under-secretary-general for global communications said last week that the U.N. has partnered with several big tech companies to combat disinformation on Covid-19 and climate change because 'we own the science and we think that the world should know it ... We partnered with Google, Fleming said. For example, if you Google 'climate change,' you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of U.N. resources." (Link)
"The Pope's AI adviser on ensuring algorithms respect human dignity - Franciscan monk Paolo Benanti is the brains behind the Rome Call, a pact aimed at making sure artificial intelligence is developed with ethics in mind. He tells us why religions should be part of that conversation." (Link)
Why is the Roman Catholic Church behind 'algorithms that respect human dignity'? Why has the Pope been meeting with leaders of the big tech companies over the past few years? Because the Papal Church of Rome, that first beast power of Revelation 13, is seeking to silence the true gospel of Jesus Christ and deceive the world into following her instead of Christ. This is why the war against the truth is rising. Up until about two years ago, www.end-times-prophecy.org was top of Google for many search phrases. Now, Google has banished us. This is all part of the plan of silencing the truth. Also, you can see the physical war machine rising and the nations gathering for war. But God prophesied both these wars in the last days, look:
Joel 3:9-14 ...'Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.'
Amos 8:11-12 ...'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.'
So what should be our response seeing these signs? Look at what Jesus told us in the 6th plague ... "Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame" (Rev.16:15) ... We are counselled by God to 'watch and keep our garments.' How are we to 'keep our garments'?
James 1:27...'Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.'
Ephesians 5:26-27 ...'That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.'
In Matthew 26:41 Jesus warned the disciples to 'watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation.' So what is the 'watching' that we are to do in these end times? Watch the news? No. While it is good for us to be aware of what is going on, seeing the signs taking place to stir our hearts to prepare and be ready in Christ, our watching is mainly to do with not entering into sin or being spotted by the world. Jesus' job in the most holy place with the Father is not just to blot out our sins from the record books, He is also seeking to, more importantly, blot out our sins from our very lives now! This is the 'watching' that we are to take part in. Watching that we enter NOT into temptation and sin, and that we remain 'unspotted by the world.'
Many of God's people are so caught up in what the the Pope, Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, etc are seeking to do, that they are missing the all important aspect - to be READY in Christ, having our garments (lives) CLEAN and unspotted by sin or the world.
The signs show us that we are fast heading towards that day when Jesus will end His work as High Priest (the close of probation), when it will be pronounced - "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still" (Revelation 22:11). THIS is what we are to be prepared and ready for. THIS should be our focus, which is why the righteousness of Christ truth is the most important truth for all to learn. Let us watch, keeping our garments white in Christ and be ready! Please see our following studies on this all important topic:
