Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 7-6-22: No Fear of WW3

I don’t worry about World War 3.  I don’t worry about an EMP strike.  I don’t worry about civil war in America.  I don’t worry about famine conditions or an extreme virus causing a worldwide pandemic much worse than what COVID supposedly was.  I’m certainly not girding myself by buckling down to endure the most horrific time that has ever been or ever will be on this planet earth.

Yet, I will admit that what I see happening in every corner of the globe brings me low sometimes.  Witnessing the chaos and the craziness of this lawless, lost and dying generation certainly makes me tired.  I wish for it to end.  Grief steals upon me in unguarded moments as I think about the needless deaths and the hurt so many people have experienced.  Chronicling as I do the downward spiral of our nation and its people through these video Prophecy Updates and my weekly written articles, while watching the global elites plot and execute their devious plans for world domination, all makes me sick.  I sit back and cry out, “How long, O God, how long?  Will there ever be an end to this madness and this incredible rise of satanic activity?  It’s been going on for so long.  Will the demonic rage sweeping through the land last forever?”

How much will true followers of Jesus Christ have to endure before the Lord mercifully removes us from the midst of this chaotic tide of hatred that gets worse every day?  Is there reason to hope?

That’s rhetorical, because I know there’s hope.  I also know that there are some of you out there in my little audience who feel the same as I do and are desperately pleading with the Lord for the Church Age to wrap up – this dispensation to conclude – for the fullness of the Gentiles to come in, and for Daniel’s 70th Week to begin.

None of us wants to see our unsaved loved ones and friends left behind, yet many will be.  That’s the sad truth.  How much more of this garbage that we’re dealing with must they endure once the Rapture has occurred?  What we see is only a tiny portion of how awful things will get once God has determine the time is right to rain down His wrath and punishment for those who have chosen to reject Him.

For today, the question we’re exploring is why we who love the Lord Jesus don’t have to worry or fear these situations and conditions that are coming very soon.  It’s why – despite the terrible iniquity surrounding us and pressing in on all sides – we can be encouraged.  And if we’re heartened and confident, having joy and peace, how might we impact others in the time remaining?

Let’s look at these things after we pray and read Scripture.

<PRAY>

Scripture

Romans 13:11-14

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

 

Ephesians 5:6-14

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

 

“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

 

No Fear of WW3

  • There are all sorts of reasons for people to worry about various war scenarios
  • On every side there are wars and rumors of wars
  • Consider the major ones hitting us daily:
    • Russia-Ukraine
    • China-Taiwan
    • North Korea-South Korea
    • Israel-Iran proxy war
    • Israel-Ezekiel coalition of Russia, Turkey, Iran
    • American civil war
  • The one hot war in this list: Russia-Ukraine, is already significantly impacting the rest of the world
  • Can you imagine what life might look like if these other potential conflicts also go kinetic?
  • In the several months since the Russia-Ukraine hostilities began in late February with the West’s imposition of sanctions on Russia, America and her allies seem to have gotten the worst of the deal
  • Our food shortages have increased
  • Global fertilizer shipments have dropped off the cliff, causing significant concerns for upcoming crops
  • Grain supplies that feed the world have dried up
  • Because of our insistence on getting involved and supplying weapons to Ukraine, America’s armaments and levels of combat preparedness have decreased
  • The combination of America’s determination to go green, resulting in our stopping the drilling for oil, not building new refineries, and siphoning off our Strategic Oil Reserve, have brought us to the brink of energy disaster – all the while as Russia has simply changed tactics of selling to the West and is selling to China and other willing nations
  • The sanctions were supposed to hurt Russia’s pocketbook by decreasing the value of the ruble and increasing the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency – that has backfired with the ruble at an all-time high and the dollar teetering on the cusp of being replaced with other, stronger currencies
  • Moreover, inflation is going through the roof and we’re on the brink of recession if not already in one
  • Since the globalist plan is to bring America down, this war and all related activities are doing a great job of that
  • I wonder if a simulation was done on this possibility like one has been done for all the other major incidents affecting us – like Event 201 for the COVID pandemic, the Monkeypox simulation a year ago, and the couple of Cyber-Polygon simulations that we’re still waiting on for a significant impact on our internet grid – probably this Fall

 

  • When we think about the potential China-Taiwan conflict, we see severe issues resulting from that
  • Taiwan is the primary supplier of chips, i.e. microprocessors to the world
  • If China attacks Taiwan, one of its strategic objectives is to acquire that manufacturing business with its global domination for itself
  • However, the likelihood is high that if Taiwan reaches a maximum threat level where it believes it will definitely come under Chinese authority, Taiwan may have a doomsday scenario in place to destroy those microchip plants
  • Should Taiwan do that, the already globally impacted chip shortage would go into hyperdrive
  • America and the world would be left in a terrible situation
  • Everything is computer driven these days
  • If the production and distribution of these vital components in literally all products we use on a daily basis are eliminated for a period of time, can you imagine the chaos?
  • Within a very short time all inventories of such products would dry up with no more forthcoming
  • No new cars, computers, refrigerators, internet components, production of medicines, manufacturing of . . . anything – let your imagination go wild
  • Without a constant flow of those microprocessors in the business and industrial pipeline, nothing will move forward
  • Nothing will be able to be fixed when it breaks
  • It’ll be an absolute disaster

 

  • How about North Korea-South Korea?
  • The US has some 46,000 troops stationed in South Korea because of our treaty obligations
  • If the North decides the time is right to reunite the peninsula under its dictatorial, Communist regime and attacks the South, America would instantly be pulled into that conflict
  • I suppose it’s possible that the people pulling the strings for Biden Administration could decide to ignore the potential thousands of deaths of our service members and abandon them, just they did in Afghanistan – I wouldn’t put that past them
  • However, in some shape or form we could certainly be dragged into this very messy war
  • And if that happens, given the nuclear capabilities of North Korea, is it a stretch to think the Hermit Kingdom might decide now is the point to send some nuke-tipped missiles our way?
  • This situation has the potential for truly being the one that begins a nuclear encounter

 

  • Israel-Iran is the flashpoint conflict in the Middle East that can ignite all sorts of related military engagements
  • Iran uses its proxies of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis of Yemen to institute all sorts of mischief
  • The Arab-Muslim nations surrounding Israel over the years have tried multiple times to drive Israel into the sea and eliminate the Jewish-Zionist state
  • Of course, God will not allow that
  • His promise from Genesis 12:3 stands to this day:

 

I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

 

  • Anytime a nation or an individual purposes to harm Israel, God intervenes
  • This is a spiritual law
  • Bill Koenig, a Christian White House correspondent who produces a weekly subscription newsletter called Koenig’s Eye View watches Israel closely
  • He has written a book titled Eye to Eye in which he chronicled how – over the years – America has effectively intended to harm Israel through various initiatives such as the Two-State Solution
  • There have been many times when our government representatives were simply discussing it
  • Bill has demonstrated the absolute linkage between these anti-God-ordained-Israel initiatives and natural disasters that have come upon our land
  • Whenever America has moved toward injuring the land of Israel in some way, God has sent severe natural disasters as a warning: hurricanes, massive tornadoes, you name it
  • This is why none of the wars against Israel have succeeded and none ever will
  • As I’ve noted in the past, I believe there is a high probability for a Psalm 83 War
  • That would take place with Iran’s various proxies and other nations drawn into that coalition
  • As opposed to Ezekiel’s War, this alliance of nations surrounding Israel has as the deepest desire of their wicked hearts to annihilate Israel as a nation
  • They want the situation where Israel is no more
  • In this proxy war, Iran keeps itself directly out of the conflict and lets its stand-ins do the dirty work
  • There is a reason that none – zero – of the nations surrounding and bordering Israel are not named in the Gog-Magog War
  • That’s because of Psalm 83 and how every single one of them is defeated – along with their Muslim god Allah
  • In this case, the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) – with God’s help no doubt – will be the primary means by which these foolish nations will be defeated
  • Just as with Ezekiel’s War, the likelihood is that America doesn’t come to Israel’s aid
  • Maybe we’ll support her in a limited way in this conflict, but given the anti-Israel thinking in Washington, I can’t see it
  • That has its repercussions as well
  • God sees our hatred as a nation toward Israel and our unwillingness to assist His Chosen People
  • It’ll be one more strike against us and the idea that we will continue as a sovereign nation with any influence in the world

 

  • That brings us to the Israel-Ezekiel conflict with the coalition of Russia, Turkey, Iran, a.k.a. the war of Gog of Magog or Ezekiel’s War
  • This is the big one in the Middle East following the Psalm 83 War that impacts the entire planet
  • This is the war in which Iran finally engages Israel and pays mightily for it
  • What this war will also do is bring God’s wrath upon nations – primarily Muslim – for their hatred and cursing of Israel
  • By this point in history, presumably the Rapture will have occurred, and America will be decimated from that event with millions disappearing
  • Assuming this war comes soon after the Rapture, with America again despising Israel, I have no doubt that God will makes His displeasure known upon our land in some manner
  • It’ll be one more poison dreg from the cup of trembling that the world’s – and America’s – hostility to Israel will bring

 

  • War is in the air
  • The potential for devastating conflicts is rising wherever we look
  • It’s a world phenomenon
  • Within our own borders, we may very well experience outbreaks of violence that lead to internal conflict: family against family, neighbor against neighbor, our own government coming down in force against those it claims are domestic terrorists, and the rise of armed opposition
  • The outlook for peace and stability worldwide and in our country is minimal
  • In fact, given these various scenarios it appears that any of them could escalate into World War 3 at any moment on any pretext
  • Or to take America out of the equation and cause us to decline, an appropriately equipped nation – or even rogue terrorist group – could detonate an EMP (i.e. ElectroMagnetic Pulse attack) – and incapacitate our electrical infrastructure
  • Or, either of the forces on both sides of our political aisles could decide enough is enough and initiate a false flag event that would lead to a shooting war among ourselves
  • Or, the food shortages may grow so severe and famine conditions devastate our cities that mobs form and begin roving the countryside searching for food and revenge
  • Or, another virus pandemic could be unleashed leading to lockdowns so severe that martial law is instituted with pushback that causes everything to erupt in this nation
  • Or, on some pretext, the gun-grabbers could go into high gear to attempt their foolish mission that would cause massive stonewalling and violence
  • We’re seemingly living minute to minute on the edge of conflicts that will rage unchecked and cause much death and other harms
  • There is much to be concerned about and many people are indeed living in fear for what the next drop of the hat might bring
  • The secular world, actually, must see the threats and wonder if there’s any hope whatsoever
  • For them, there is not
  • Even for those Christians who embrace any doctrinal position other than the pre-Tribulation Rapture, they have no encouragement or hope
  • They’re buckling down, girding up, devising plans for surviving the most horrible period in human history, and are literally making the same preparations that non-believers are
  • Some of these Christians are under the impression that somehow God will shield them during these 7 years
  • Others are simply praying that everything will pan out in the end for them

 

  • Frankly, this attitude is pathetic
  • It demonstrates a terrible lack of trust in God
  • It shows that they have little understanding of God’s character
  • More than that, it shows how Bible teaching has been corrupted over the years and people sitting in the pews have absorbed poor doctrine like sponges
  • Because church congregations no longer read their Bibles, they have no idea whether or not what their pastors tell them is true or not according to God’s Word
  • They don’t seek out the truth and accept the false teachings of all the Rapture positions except that which Scripture outlines clearly
  • Then they regurgitate this garbage, many become “experts” in falsehoods, and continue propagating them among others
  • Almost as bad – but not quite – are the truly solid Christian teachers who won’t take a stand on the pre-Trib Rapture
  • They believe in it but waffle in what they say
  • Despite the overwhelming evidence of the signs of the times that Jesus Himself criticized the Pharisees for ignoring, these present-day teachers disregard them as well
  • They’re afraid of man rather than fearing God and adhering to Christ’s commands in this regard
  • What did Jesus say?
  • “Be alert.   The Son of Man comes at a time you do not expect – like a thief in the night.”
  • Yet what do so many of these teachers say about this?
  • They don’t correlate what is going on in the world with the end-times prophecies and are clueless – or worse – deliberately obtuse
  • Seriously, how many pastors and Bible teachers boldly proclaim the doctrine of the pre-Tribulation Rapture?
  • I’ll bet you can’t count a whole lot of them – despite how good they may be teaching everything else in the Bible
  • So – what does this leave us?
  • It causes the vast majority of Christendom to be unprepared
  • It actually encourages making this world their home – fixing it and trying to make it normal again – or even Christianizing the world so that it will be prepared for Christ’s return
  • Jesus must be appalled at how little His Words and warnings mean to His church

 

  • I stated upfront that I don’t worry about the wars and all the other bad things that are on the horizon
  • I watch everything and, in my flesh, certainly get down at times, but I know the hope that I have in Christ Jesus
  • For starters, He told me not to worry and be anxious for those things that I can’t control
  • What can’t I control?
  • How about tomorrow?
  • Or, even what the next hour brings?
  • There’s not a thing I can do that will stop any of these potential conflicts and situations
  • I can be aware of them and analyze how they may fit into Bible prophecy, but I can’t impact them in any way, shape, or form
  • However, I can pray – and isn’t that the most potent form of warfare – i.e. spiritual warfare?

 

  • In addition to this most critical of activities, i.e. prayer, also reading God’s Word and seeing in it where we may stand on this final days timeline is also helpful to me
  • Of course, in my doing that, it’s what I try to bring forward in my various efforts with these video Prophecy Updates and my weekly written articles
  • Based on what I’ve gleaned I hope to bring awareness to others but also hope and encouragement
  • The more you know, the more you can align that knowledge with God’s Word and come to some conclusions
  • The conclusion I’ve come to in this matter of WW3 and the other issues I’ve mentioned today, is that we shouldn’t worry about them because – by and large – we won’t be here when the worst of them occur
  • Quite often I encourage everyone watching these Prophecy Updates to occupy and continue doing the work of God’s Kingdom until Jesus comes for us
  • A friend of mine – Lisa Heaton – is an author who writes primarily women’s Christian fiction
  • She’s written a book titled Daybreak, intended not only for women but for all who need to hear the truth of these last days
  • In conjunction with the book Lisa has written a series of articles that have been posted on Rapture Ready
  • The 1st of these articles is called How Do I Share What I Know?
  • I’ve linked to this article in the Sources on the Rumble page for this Prophecy Update
  • Why do I bring this up?
  • Because when I say we need to occupy until Christ comes for us, some of you may ask what that means
  • In this series of articles Lisa outlines this for us – and I think it’s a good resource for folks to begin thinking – if you haven’t already – how the Lord might use you to help round out the fullness of the Gentiles, i.e. the last person saved, that’s necessary for God to trigger the Rapture
  • Please check out Lisa’ Rapture Ready posts

 

  • Once again, understanding the pre-Tribulation Rapture and what that means for us and the world is crucial to our not being afraid of what’s next
  • For those of us who know the Word of God in this respect, the evidence is overwhelming that the next milestone event in God’s last days calendar is the Rapture of the true church
  • There are no precedents – no other prophecies that must be fulfilled – because the Rapture happens
  • It is imminent, i.e. it could happen at any time – day or night – right now or any immediate time in the days ahead
  • Many people try to pinpoint the day and hour, but Jesus said that in the flesh, we cannot do that because He couldn’t do it
  • However, Jesus did plainly say that we would know the season – and that’s critical
  • All the signs of the times – of the season – are upon us
  • Thus, the season of the Rapture is here

 

  • A primary purpose of the Rapture is to keep us from the wrath to come
  • It is to keep us from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole earth
  • It is for us to gain our glorified bodies as sons and daughters of the living God to prepare us for the next stage of our purpose that He created us for
  • It is for us to take encouragement in the Blessed Hope of our Savior
  • As I’ve written recently, it’s for a sign to those left behind that God is real and there is true hope of deliverance
  • It is for Jesus to snatch His beloved Bride from this world – because He loves us and is not a wife-beater – so that we can enjoy the 7 years of consummating our marriage at the Father’s House in heaven
  • It will be there and then that we receive our rewards for the work we’ve done on earth as born-again believers exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit of salvation
  • The timeline for those believing anything but the pre-Trib Rapture is really messed up for these activities which prophetically will take place

 

  • While we as believers are enjoying all these things, people on the earth will begin to realize what rejecting Jesus Christ means
  • The Seals of Judgment will be opened by the Lord and horror will be the order of the day for those left behind
  • This is the reason I have no concern about wars and rumors of wars
  • Besides having been commanded by Jesus not to be anxious about things I can’t control, timing of all these things is a critical factor
  • As I’ve stated many times the Bible is very clear that the Lord will remove those who love Him prior to the worst of these events
  • I believe He will Rapture us before the opening of the Seal Judgments
  • That being the case, the revealing of the Antichrist in Seal 1 as the great deceiver whom the world will follow . . .
  • The horrendous wars – very possibly WW3 which may encompass in some manner all the conflicts that I outlined earlier – which erupt when the 2nd Seal is opened . . .
  • The terrible plagues that will follow the wars in Seal 3 bringing untold misery through their adverse effects . . .
  • And the resulting death and snatching of souls into hell unleashed in the 4th Seal . . .
  • The persecution that will accompany these awful judgments, resulting in the martyrdom of many who finally declare Jesus as their Savior and Lord . . .
  • All these punishments meant for unbelieving mankind will happen after we’ve been Raptured
  • If we believe this – which I certainly do – what do any of us have to worry about?
  • Will there be trouble and dark times before the Rapture?
  • I think so
  • But will they rise to the level of God’s wrath?
  • Not a chance
  • If we who obey the Lord’s commands have the hope of the promise of God to redeem us from this alien place, how should we respond?
  • What should be our attitude, even as times get tough?
  • Shouldn’t we lift up a sacrifice of praise to the Lord?
  • Should we go about with frowns and worry lines in our faces?
  • Or, should we instead have a ready smile with joy in our hearts and a quick word of encouragement to those around us?
  • No doubt most of you remember the book and movie that showed us WWJD – What Would Jesus Do?
  • Well, if He was walking around with us today waiting for the Lord’s deliverance, what would He do?
  • I think He would simply be preaching about the Kingdom of Heaven . . .
  • About the need for repentance . . .
  • The requirement for us to forgive those who have harmed us. . .
  • And the necessity of obeying His commands
  • Most of all, He would show us how to love even while speaking about the wrath to come because of the great sin in the hearts of mankind . . .
  • That sin which lives deep in every one of us and requires a blood sacrifice for atonement
  • Shouldn’t we likewise be speaking and demonstrating how Jesus is that sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world?
  • Even if the world laughs at us for such foolishness?
  • The Lord is coming soon in His wrath because the time of accepting Him in His persona as the gentle, Suffering Servant will soon end
  • We who see this – who know it – who are eagerly anticipating it – have an obligation to speak now in these final days of harvest
  • It won’t be long before that opportunity is gone and a new phase of our eternal lives begins
  • Let’s make the most of the time remaining

    Lord willing, we will see you next week…or in the air.
    Blessings to you.

    Sorry I missed this update a few weeks ago Gary. There surely is a lot to not worry about here LOL!

    In fact there is SO much NOT to worry about, if one even wanted to, where would one start?!
    When I have friends who start to spin out on all that comes up (and it can happen to all of us), I just remind them, and myself, that every single block added onto our prophetic Jenga Tower means that when it falls down, we go up!

    We may be groaning, but must trust the Lord’s timing. After all, if it is another of our own friends or family members who are supposed to be added to the Church before the door closes, we’d ALL want to wait until the very last split second for them to make it through!
