The Antichrist

As I wrote in my previous article called The Rise of Antichrists, one of the signs of the times is that there have arisen many different antichrists in these last days. People like Hitler, Stalin, and others come to mind.

As the apostle John wrote: "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour." (1 Jn 2:18, NIV).

John spoke of many antichrists having already come during the first century, but that "the Antichrist" was yet to come. It is specifically the final antichrist that I want to write about here in this post. The following is an account of dreams dating back to the 1990's that people from around the world have had about Barack Hussein Obama being the antichrist. Over 150 people responded to a Christian lady on You Tube who asked if anyone had dreamed about him.  I tried to evaluate the sources of these dreams and sought to weed out any that were not credible people.  The ones I included were from people who have confessed faith in Jesus Christ (except for the second one shown below).  Let’s review the dreams first, followed by my understanding at the end.  Due to the sheer number of them, I will include the first part of each one here, and the complete account for each one in separate posts. Here they are:

Teenage Girl in 1990's Names the Antichrist to be Elected in 2008
In the 1990’s, a teenage girl named Nicole had a dream, which she posted on Five Doves website on October 8, 2012.  She states: “In the dream I am walking to get out of my house to escape the mediocre lifestyle and be by myself.   All of a sudden a huge TIGER comes on my path to try to devour me.   And I am saying in the dream, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, DO NOT DEVOUR ME.   And then all of a sudden I am transported to the future.   I see the year 2008 and I see Obama get elected.  Continue reading.

Puppet Floats and People Worshiping Obama
In February 2008, a Christian man named Anthony had a dream about Obama, who was then a candidate for president.  His dream started with big floats like you see in parades.  Someone was pulling strings, making the floats walk.  He was amazed how they could do that and make these huge floats take steps.  Then the scene changed to an auditorium.  The stage was off to the right where Obama would be speaking.  Continue reading.

Barack Obama is Nothing More than an Idol; a Fake Person; a Marionette
In August 2008, a Christian lady named Sue had a vision. She has been serving the Lord since she was a child, and she is a 70-year-old mother of four married children, and has fourteen grandchildren ages one to twenty-one.  She had a vision, in which she saw the smiling face of Barack Obama, as well as a magician swinging his cape as though performing a magic trick. She also saw various animal faces like a pig, a fox, and a wolf. Continue reading.

Obama was Standing Surrounded by Various Pagan Idols
One brother in Christ named Paul in California sent me an email saying: "I myself had an ominous dream about Obama shortly after he was elected in the year 2008. It was a very brief dream. It was a dark scene, and Obama was standing surrounded by various pagan idols.   And then he said, 'How wonderful is the power of evil.' The end of the dream. A very short dream."

Obama's Inauguration Day was Dark and Evil
In January 2009, a 48-year old person had a dream about Obama just before his inauguration.  This person wrote: “I had an Obama dream. It took place January 19, 2009, just before the Inauguration. It was strange, so I wrote it in my journal... Continue reading.

Obama Wanted Us To Pray To Him
In May 2009, our eight-year old daughter had a dream about Obama.  Here is her description: “I had a dream last night.  It was about Obama disguising himself.  And he wanted us to pray to him.  And we said, ‘No!’  Obama got so angry that he said he would be there with his men the next day and put us in prison.  And then he left.”  End of dream.  Today, eleven years later, she still remembers this dream.

Obama Called the New Tutankhamen of the World Implying He Would Be Worshiped as a god
In June 2009, Perry Stone issued a warning about the system of the Pharaohs of Egypt, and how the bondage of Egypt is coming to America.  After that, Obama went to the middle east to give his Israeli/ Palestinian speech and was called, there, the "NEW TUTANKHAMEN OF THE WORLD," which is after the Pharaoh of Egypt "King Tut," who was worshipped as a god.

When Obama went to Egypt on June 3, 2009, he toured the tombs in the pyramids.  While he was in there looking at mummies, an antiquities expert told him he looked like King Tut.  Obama immediately replied, “I’ve been told that.” (see video).

Man Who Didn't Trust Obama Drawn to Him in a Dream
In early to mid 2009, a Christian man named Robert wrote: I had a dream where Obama came to a fellowship gathering inside a BIBLE STUDY, then changed over to a picnic gathering of believers, where Obeast mingled while followed by some relaxed security men. I felt extremely drawn to him... Continue reading.

Obama Showed No Concern for Choking Kid 
Also in early to mid 2009, a young, dedicated Christian man named Nick had a dream where he was in his old elementary school.  Barack Obama walked into the classroom with his agents.  It was like a buffet with cupcakes and other food.  Continue reading.

There Are Plans In Place To Put Obama’s Face On The Currency
On August 21, 2009, my own wife Jennifer took a nap, and afterward at lunch she told me about something strange that happened.  As she was lying there, not yet asleep, she suddenly heard a voice that sounded like a news broadcast say, “There are plans in place to put Obama’s face on the currency.” Continue reading.

Obama Sitting Before a Black Witch's Cauldron
In 2009, a Christian man had a dream in which he was in a hotel room with his girlfriend and Obama was there with them. He said they needed to get something at the front desk, so they went and got it.  The front desk gave them a big black cauldron like witches traditionally used.  They brought it to the room and placed it by the door.  Obama was sitting in a chair.  Continue reading.

“What can I do to win you over?"
In November 2009, a Christian lady, named Jackie, stated that she had two dreams of Obama.  She stated that in the first dream, she was in a classroom and Obama came in.  As he went to the chalkboard, he said, “I’m here to teach you something.”  Continue reading.

He is a Deceiver
In November 2009, a Christian lady, who identifies herself as supernova1800, wrote: “A long time ago I had a dream and cannot remember the dream but...The theme of the dream was that he was a ‘deceiver’ and being two-faced so to speak. I woke up with a warning feeling that he was a deceiver.”

Obama and Hitler Dreams on Consecutive Nights
In December 2009, a Christian lady had a dream of Obama.  Here is her account: “My first dream of Obama…it was a nice day, I was wearing a bridesmaid dress, dark-pink in color, & I was sitting by myself at a round table. I was ticked about something & Obama comes & sits at my table & starts trying to crack jokes. Continue reading.

Continue reading.

Obama as Menorah Candle Lighting Entire World
Tablet Mag reported the following in an article titled: Why Israel’s President Talks To Obama, But Not To Netanyahu, regarding a statement that Israeli President Reuven Rivlin made to Obama at the White House in December 2015: "In the spirit of Hannukah, Rivlin went so far as to tell Obama and the press about the role of  the shamash (attendant) candle on the menorah and to compare the American president to that candle, which lights all the rest and 'shows the way, the right way, to your people and to the entire world.'" In saying this, Rivlin called Obama the light of the world that shows all mankind the right way. However, since Jesus is the Light of the world, it is the spirit of the antichrist to refer to Obama as such (1 Jn 4:3).

Obama Assumes Leadership After Assassination of Trump
A pastor in Australia recorded a dream he had at 2:20 AM Australia time on November 9, 2016, the day that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.

Continue reading.

Little Girl Sees Crowned Obama on the Antichrist Throne

He he was definitely the Antichrist, because he came and he sat on the throne." Continue reading

Closing Words
As I mentioned in my introduction, I excluded the dreams recorded by people who did not appear to be genuine disciples of Christ (with one exception).  It is clear that these dreams were very consistent.  The consistent message was that he portrays himself as a great teacher, but is a deceiver and a seducer who wants people to like him so that they can do what he wants.  The dreams clearly indicated that he is of the darkness, not the Light.  He is nothing more than an idol; a fake person; a marionette. He hypnotizes people, and they follow him with adoration, just as they did Hitler.  Yet he will bring terror and destruction to America that will horrify people. Unfortunately people are now more receptive to the messages of the antichrist than messages of God through His servants. Therefore, it will be their own undoing.

We know there are many indications that the bondage of Egypt is coming to America.  History records that the pharaohs taxed the people heavily, put a heavy yoke upon the people’s shoulders, enslaved them, and exercised their power with absolute control.

The apostle Paul taught that a man of lawlessness would come in the last days before Christ’s return.  He said, “At the proper time, then, the Wicked One will appear.” (2 Thes 2:6).  We are not sure if Obama is the wicked one Paul wrote about prophetically.  But there is certainly a large body of evidence that supports that notion.  At this point, all we can do is watch and pray and warn others to do the same.

Paul went on to say that this man would exercise supernatural power.  “The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders, and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.” (2Th 2:9-10).  This also came up numerous times in the dreams.  There were references to witchcraft, occult activity, fireballs, and sex magic.

Whatever miracles and wonders this man will perform, we know that they will be wicked and result in deception among those who will perish.  That’s because they do not love the truth, so the Lord sends them a strong delusion.  As Paul puts it: “For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” (2Th 2:11-12)

Be on the alert! Let’s not be deceived like the masses.  And let’s pray that the Lord exposes everything that is of darkness in our government leaders.  Pray the Lord will bring conviction for sin among our leaders and lead them to repentance. Pray that the Truth would reign upon the earth.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Obama Says, "I'll Be in My House Again Soon."

As I wrote in my previous article, The Antichrist, many people over many years have been receiving dreams and visions that reveal the identity of the antichrist. Now another young lady has received two dreams confirming that Obama is the antichrist. The first one was on September 8th, and the second one was on December 16th, 2022. In the following short video, she states:

"In the past four months, I've received two dreams from the Lord that were a continuation of the other both confirming that 44 is the Son of Perdition. I will avoid using his actual name, so that way my video doesn't get torpedoed down. I'll either call him 44 or his initials B.O. 

And so the first dream goes like this: I had it September 8th of this last year 2022. I was in my mom's car. She was driving around somewhere, and when she parked, we walked outside towards this big very big building, and it was dark. All the lights were out, and as I got closer I noticed that there was a man, and he was well dressed, he was all suited up, and I realized that it was 44. And he looked at me and he gave me the most demonic smile. And I'll never forget what he told me. He said this: ‘I'll be in my house again soon.’ 

And I remember the terror I felt in my heart and also the anger that I felt against him. And I just remember praying in that moment to the Lord, ‘Lord pay him triple what this man is going to pay the body of Christ during the tribulation.’ And I woke up from that dream knowing that 44 (B.O) is definitely the abomination of desolation. And the way that he said, ‘I'll be in my house again soon,’ like the White House is his house, he's telling you.

So the second dream. When I had it this was December 16th of last year 2022. In the dream I was standing with a bunch of people in the foyer/entrance of this beautiful huge mansion. We were all excited and well-dressed (Gala attire), and I wondered at the colonial architecture and the American Vintage Decor all throughout the house. I could feel the anticipation in the place build up as we awaited the king's arrival. A fancy car pulled up in front of the house, and the double doors opened. To my shock it was the 44th president. He had on a king's crown and a luxurious red cape. I even saw him carry a golden scepter in his hand. And all of a sudden everyone bowed down in reverence to this man. There was even somebody crying, as if they were in the presence of God, like B.O. walking in was everything to them. He was being received as royalty. And so then it hit me after I had the dream (that) 44 is the Son of Perdition. And that was

the second dream, which I believe was a continuation of the first dream that I had on September 8th, because in the first one we were outside of the building, but in the second one I was inside of the building. And I believe God gave me another person's perspective or another person's point of view, and they received him as royalty. He's gonna come back, and please pray about this. Please ask God for confirmation. God has been revealing to his servants, prophets, and seers, who the Son of Perdition will be."

This has ominous implications, especially when you consider all the people who have had dreams and visions from God about Obama being the antichrist.

Russian Attack on Ukraine Begins WWIII

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his military forces to attack Ukraine, which they did from multiple directions. They attacked by land, sea, and air from the east through the Dombass region of Ukraine, from the south through Crimea which was annexed to Russian in 2015, and from the north through Belarus, in what was the biggest attack on a European country since WWII.

For those of you who don't realize it yet, this was the event that will ultimately kick off World War III. The United States and other NATO countries did not do anything to stop Putin, who has threatened to use nuclear weapons against anyone who tries to interfere with him. He said his response would be immediate, bringing “Consequences that you have never experienced in your history.” The US and its NATO allies did announce that there would be severe sanctions against Russia for this, but that is not expected to stop Putin. In fact, he has many ways of retaliating against these countries that levy sanctions against Russia.

Russian War Crimes

Intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime. According to Amnesty International, Russia is carrying out “indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and strikes on protected objects such as hospitals.”

Although Russia denied that it is attacking civilian infrastructure, the Ukraine Twitter account says:

"Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian missiles and military are targeting civilian infrastructure and killing innocent people in Ukrainian cities. Russia attacks not only Ukraine; it attacks the whole of Europe. Ukraine defends its own independence, and peace and democracy in Europe."

The Russian military also attacked several civilian airports, including Kyiv-Boryspil International Airport, which I have personally flown in and out of a number of times between 1995 and 2009 (I did my internship in Ukraine, and have been back there a few times since then on missions trips). Many videos have been posted online showing Russian missiles striking civilian infrastructure like apartment buildings, such as the one in Kiev pictured above that was hit by a Russian bomb on February 25, 2022 [Daniel Leal/AFP]. Moreover, Russian forces captured the failed Chernobyl nuclear power plant, north of Kiev, in an apparent symbolic signal to Europe not to interfere militarily in the conflict or else it could face Russian nuclear retaliation. CBN News said credible reports indicate that Russian soldiers are holding hostage the staff of the nuclear power plant.

NATO Response

If you have followed the news at all, you know that NATO has moved thousands of troops to the border of Ukraine to bolster their defense against the war spilling over into Europe. But the fact is that Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation has emboldened China to do the same with Taiwan, as evidenced by their recent statements to that effect, and will also embolden the enemies of Israel, such as Iran and Syria. It's just a matter of time for these other countries to go to war as well.

Israeli Implications

Speaking of Israel, they often conduct bombing missions into Syria, which they don't usually admit, but they cannot do so without permission from Syria's ally Russia. Therefore, it is important for Israel to maintain good diplomatic relations with Russia. However, as Russia began their military attack against Ukraine, Russia also made a statement to Israel that it does not honor their claim that the Golan Heights belong to them. Russia says the Golan Heights belong to Syria, (and by the way, major reserves of oil have been discovered on the Golan Heights). This means that as long as Israel continues to claim the Golan Heights as their own rightful territory, it is going to adversely affect Russian-Israeli relations.

Visions and Dreams About WWIII

Numerous Christians have been receiving visions and dreams about World War III for decades. I have compiled the more recent ones into a playlist on Youtube called WWIII. I truly hope you will take time to watch the playlist and prayerfully consider what the Lord showed these people.

You may also read the following articles about other dreams and visions given by the Lord to His servants about a Russian-Chinese military attack against the United States:

Prophetic vision reveals World War III with Russia and China invading America

Henry Gruver Russian Invasion of America

Dumitru Duduman Russian Invasion of America

David Wilkerson Economic Collapse then A Russian Invasion

Putin Obama and Xi Jinping Celebrate Explosion and Plume Cloud

Many of you will not take any of these seriously, but you should. If you take the time to read these visions and dreams, I think you will find that they were genuine ones give by the Holy Spirit. Be careful you don't despise any prophetic dream, vision, or utterance that is truly from the Lord through His servants. As Paul the apostle said: "Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil." (1Th 5:20-22)

To anyone who does not believe that my warning is from God, take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: "'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.'" (Act 13:40-41)

Scriptures
These visions and dreams that I have just cited in the previous section agree with the numerous Scriptural passages that speak of these end time wars and rumors of war. The Lord Himself said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." (Mat 24:6). Other passages you should consider reading and meditating on are Ezekiel 38-39, that many believe speaks of a Russian coalition attack upon Israel in the last days, and Jeremiah 1:13-16 about the boiling cauldron from the north tilted toward Israel.

Chernobyl Means Wormwood
Very interestingly, there is a passage in Revelation about the third trumpet judgment of God to be released on the earth. It says:

"The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." (Rev 8:10-11)

Many students of the Word, including myself, have speculated that this passage about a great star blazing like a torch could be referring to a nuclear missile that falls from the sky and releases deadly radiation upon the earth. Chernobyl, said to mean "wormwood',  is the name of the town north of Kiev, Ukraine, where a nuclear power plant experienced a cataclysmic reactor meltdown (failure) in 1986 that released radiation across Europe. The fact that Chernobyl means Wormwood is cause for us to pause and consider what is happening now in Ukraine and how it could erupt into nuclear war with Russia.

Comments from Others
Here are some comments from others on Youtube that have also been given dreams of WWIII:

Alexandra Stratan, 12 days ago
"There is something so ominous in the air, to be honest, I had three dreams of foreign invasion (Russia and China), I was a prisoner of war, I have been put through the ringer for my dreams."

ksilas78, 3 weeks ago
"Thank you so much for sharing your dream… I had similar dreams. The first one was in 2009, I know it was about Covid… but fast forwarding to 2013, I had a dream that America was in physical darkness and chaos, I was with one of my sisters, and we couldn’t find water, and as America was in darkness, Russia was about to strike us with missiles. It was like Russia was provoked, and President Obama was begging Putin to hold his fire because America was suffering enough. Now the third dream we were invaded by the Chinese military, I was in New York City in my dream in a clothing store waiting in line to make a purchase, then I got an alert on my phone showing where the closest bomb shelter was, I went out of the store and saw people running and I saw the Chinese military marching in the streets. The last dream I had was in 2019, I saw on a paper in big bold letters with the words saying, 'War is imminent'. I pray that God will protect us all , we are living in serious times."

John Wick. 2 weeks ago
"I had a dream yesterday that we were held in some old buildings with bunk beds. I looked outside and there were Russian troops with tanks. They kept taking people out to this white building where there were Russians. The Americans didn't come back in my dream. I said. 'This can't be real. I have to escape.' Somehow I got captured and then I woke up. I've been feeling like this is a warning from God. I can't stop thinking about this dream. God bless you all get right with your Maker now."

YL Young Luie, 12 days ago
"I had a dream that US was being destroyed by missiles and nukes...it was a nightmare....I came out of that dream and I entered another, and I was crying, because it was soon to come....REPENT AND SEEK GOD FOR OUR TIME IS NEAR."

Closing Words
I hope that this message has helped to alert you to the signs that are happening all around us right now, which are pointing to the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a time for sanctification, separation, and preparation, as the Lord said to one sister in Christ recently. It is not unwise to prepare yourself and family physically, but it is definitely wise to prepare yourself spiritually for what is about to happen. You need the Lord's protection over you.

Jesus Christ is about to come back for His Bride, and not all Christians are going to be taken, but only those who are ready. Many think they are ready but they are not, because they are still worldly and unsanctified. The Lord is coming for a Bride that is pure and blameless without spot or wrinkle (Eph 5:27; 1 Thes 4:16-17; Rev 19:6-9). 

After he removes His Bride from the earth, that is going to kick off the Great Tribulation, which is going to be seven years of hell on earth (Mt 24:21). You don't want to be here for that, so please do whatever it takes to get ready for the rapture. I pray for all the saints reading this that your hearts would be strengthened, so that you would be blameless and holy in the presence of God at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones. 

To anyone reading this who is living in compromise of some kind, repent and turn back to God. As the prophet Isaiah said, "Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." (Isa 55:7).

For those of you who don't know Jesus, I urge you to repent and give your life to Jesus Christ. Ask Him to forgive you and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Please see the link at the end of this article to help you in that decision.

The End Time Plagues

The Lord Jesus foretold that there would be plagues or pestilences in various places in the last days before He returns, and that is what we are seeing around the world today. He said, "And there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven." (Luk 21:11)

Millions of beetles invade beaches of Argentina
One example of this in March 2016 is the black beetle plague of "biblical proportions" that has hit the beaches of Argentina. The bugs have come suddenly and covered the ground, baffling experts, and causing people to react in horror. Some are saying that this is a sign the end times are near.

Another example is the bark beetles that are decimating American forests. The problem is so enormous that the US Forest Service has launched an offensive against the beetles. They are consuming tens of thousands of trees. In fact, it is estimated that they can sometimes fell as many as 100,000 trees in one day.

A swarm of black-and-red seed bugs plagued the eastern Sierra Nevada area of California in August 2015. They were of the species Melacoryphus lateralis, and there were piles of them on the ground, which people had to use leaf blowers to clear away. They were getting into everything, including people's food, hair, and bodies.

In March 2013, around 30 million locusts swarmed the cities and farms of Egypt. In September 2013, a swarm of crickets invaded Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In August 2014, Madagascar's capital of Antananarivo experienced a plague of locusts that descended by the millions and blotted out the skies. In July 2015, swarms of grasshoppers and beetles over Knox County, Texas were so thick they were visible on weather radar. They were flying as high as 2,500 feet. Also in July 2015, plagues of locusts darkened the skies in Southern Russia and threatened crops there. Some were as big as a human finger and they came in clouds, which was literally frightening to the local people.



In the autumn if 2019 the African swine fever turned into a pandemic that began killing millions of pigs around the world. In February 2020 massive locust swarms once again invaded the African continent. It is the worst they have seen in seventy years. These swarms are the size of big cities. In one day, a swarm this size can devour the same amount of food as the entire population of Kenya. According to an expert, it can devour the same amount of food in one day as all the people in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. Obviously this is threatening the crops of the countries in Africa that are being affected by the plague (see here). Also in February 2020, a massive bat-tornado plague that darkened the skies like a tornado began to severely terrorize Australia. In April 2020, CBN News reported that another wave of billions of locusts were invading East Africa, threatening devastation and starvation.

The prophet Habakkuk prophesied of the end times saying, "Before Him goes pestilence, And plague comes after Him." (Hab 3:5).

Coronavirus
The bugs are a form of pestilence and the viruses are a form of plague. For example, as of February 2020, a deadly coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) that originated in Wuhan, China, has infected more than 4 million and killed 274,966 people worldwide (latest count here). Tens of thousands of new cases and tens of thousands of new deaths are being reported daily. The virus, which is reportedly a biological warfare weapon and more than ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu, has already spread to at least 202 other countries and territories, including the United States. The World Health Organzation (WHO) has declared the outbreak a pandemic. The US military is getting geared up for it as well. (For more on this pandemic, please see Coronavirus: Origin, Reason, and Remedy).

Moreover, the Ebola virus is another deadly plague that has affected places like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Africa. It has been reported that infected people have been smuggled into the US through the Mexican border and secretly planted in certain cities, where they could spread the disease to others.

These things are happening in various places around the world just as the Lord said they would. Time is over. Get ready. Jesus Christ is coming back right away, but He is only coming for a holy people -- those living a holy life, so repent and prepare yourself in holiness to meet Him.

"Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame, Before the decree takes effect-- The day passes like the chaff-- Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you, Before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you. Seek the LORD, All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the LORD'S anger." (Zep 2:1-3)

This Crisis Will Pale in Comparison to What's Coming

We are living in unprecedented times, experiencing things that none of us -- not even the elderly -- have seen in our lifetimes. There is the coronavirus pandemic with it's sickness, death, food and supply shortages, and draconian measures being taken by the government to contain it. There are also other end time plagues that have been happening around the world, as well as the worldwide economic turmoil.

Life as we once knew it has been transformed into what many are now calling the "new normal". The world as you knew it is over. TruNews reported that "National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease Dr. Tony Fauci has warned that the world may never 'get back to normal' after the coronavirus pandemic."

Just when you felt like you've had enough of this chaos, and you thought it couldn't get any worse, all of this will pale in comparison to what is yet to come upon the earth. Let me show you what the Scriptures say. For example, the prophet Amos said:

"Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light. It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?" (Amo 5:18-20).

That's what I mean when I say it is going to get worse. It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. Amos went on to say:

"I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said: 'Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape. Though they dig down to the depths below, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens above, from there I will bring them down. Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there I will hunt them down and seize them. Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them. Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them. 'I will keep my eye on them for harm and not for good.'" (Amo 9:1-4)

Now is the time to seek the Lord and give Him glory, as the prophet Jeremiah said:

Give glory to the Lord your God
    before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble
    on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
    but he will turn it to utter darkness
    and change it to deep gloom.  (Jer 13:16)

Closing Words
There is no escape from the judgment of God that is coming. Some of the things you can expect to see next are a military invasion of America, as well as World War III. There will also be more cataclysms as the Scriptures clearly said must happen (Mt 24:7; Lk 21:9-11), such as famines, asteroids, tsunamis, a shifting of the earth's magnetic poles, power outages, and more. We are now entering the time of great shaking, when God is shaking everything that can be shaken. These are all signs of the times. Jesus Christ is coming back very, very soon.

The only answer is to turn back to God in repentance, stop doing the things of the world, pray and ask God to forgive you, putting your faith in Jesus to save you. Whether you already know the Lord or not, this is what you should do. Those of us who know Him should repent daily and ask Him to purify our hearts, removing everything from us that is displeasing to Him, and make us ready for the rapture. Only the blood of Jesus can protect us from the wrath of God and save us.

Soon we will see Him coming in the clouds and only the holy will be caught up to meet Him there. He is coming for a Bride that has made herself ready, who is without spot or wrinkle. Pray the Holy Spirit would fill your extra flask with oil, as the five wise virgins did (Matt 25:4). Always be on the watch. Pray that you will be able to stand before the Son of Man when He comes and escape all these things that are coming to pass (Lk 21:36). May we all be counted worthy when He comes. Those who miss it will be left behind to go through the Great Tribulation, which will be like hell on earth. That's why I am writing to you this message to help you get ready before it's too late.

Economic Turmoil Worldwide

Let me begin by saying that back in December 2019, I was expecting that an economic crash was imminent. Just like the bubble burst in the roaring twenties, followed by the Great Depression, I knew that it was about to happen again at any time. TruNews reported that a Russian language newspaper online had recently published an article indicating that the Federal Reserve was going to devalue the dollar after the New Year. So it seemed that they had intelligence about this in advance. I was expecting that the dollar would collapse soon after the New Year began, that 2020 would be a tumultuous year, and that the rapture was imminent.

Then on March 9, 2020, which will now be known throughout history as Black Monday, the stock market crashed worldwide amid economic fears related to the coronavirus. According to Wikipedia, "The 2020 stock market crash is a global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020 during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and the NASDAQ-100 all fell into a correction on 27 February during one of the worst trading weeks since the financial crisis of 2007–08."

Meanwhile, the price of oil also crashed on March 8, 2020. Wikipedia states: "On 8 March 2020, Saudi Arabia initiated a price war with Russia, triggering a major fall in the price of oil, with US oil prices falling by 34%, crude oil falling by 26%, and brent oil falling by 24%."

Moreover, China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) plunged 40% during first quarter. Goldman Sachs economists forecast a 24% drop in the US GDP for second quarter 2020, following a 6% decline in the first quarter. Morgan Stanley economists joined in with Goldman Sachs predicting a 30% drop in second quarter. In order to put that into perspective for you, if the world GDP is normally growing by 3% and slows down to 1%, that signals a recession, because any growth below 2% is classified as a recession. Yet the prospects for this year are even worse than that, considering that on March 25, 2020, IHS Markit revised down its forecast for world real GDP growth in 2020 to 0.7%.

Consequently, financial analysts are warning that "A global recession is inevitable" in 2020. In fact, there are even fears of a depression. For example, Alvine Capital Management's chairman Stephen Isaacs has stated that the coronavirus crisis is unprecedented, and that we are facing a 1929-like crisis that will be worse than 1987 and worse than 2008. Analysts are warning of "utter carnage" as oil crashes and global stocks tumble. Wall Street investors speculate 5,000,000 jobs will be lost in April, and that the month will begin with two million losses. They are expecting US unemployment rates to average 12.8% during the second quarter of 2020.

In response to this, the governments of the United States, UK, Israel, Germany, China, and perhaps others, are implementing measures to stimulate their respective economies 1. The measures that the UK is taking look very similar to what the US is doing. As I watched a recent press briefing given by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his team, it seemed like he was operating off the same script that President Trump was working from here in America. President Trump has worked with Congress to pass an unprecedented 2.2 trillion-dollar economic stimulus package. Of course, the United States, which is carrying over 23.3 trillion dollars in national debt 2, doesn't have that money. It is fake money in essence, because it is being created out of thin air. Since it is not backed by precious metals, and is simply fiat currency, it is all based on the faith that people have in the US dollar.

This economic stimulus package will only increase our national debt, which is like an enormous ball and chain around every person in American society, that would take millions of years to eliminate, if we were to attempt to do so, although we are not even trying currently. Do you realize that the debtor is a slave to the lender (Prov 22:7), making every American man, woman, and child an economic slave already? What good will it do to pump 2.2 trillion imaginary dollars into the economy, most of which will go to support major, multi-billion-dollar corporations and not the individual workers? 3 Do you really think that will soften the blow of this crash? That package is full of useless pork fat, such as the 25 million dollars earmarked to go to the Center for Performing Arts in New York City. How futile!

“Meaningless! Meaningless!”
    says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless.”
    (Eccles. 1:2)

It's all meaningless and will not stave off the current global economic crisis. Rather it only serves to psychologically condition the masses to look to the government to save them in times like this, which helps prepare them to accept the antichrist and his mark of the beast system. Instead of looking to God, and His Son Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the world, they look to the government as their savior. This is the false religion of socialism and communism, which teaches that the salvation of mankind comes through political and social means. It's an empty, godless religion that cannot save anyone. It is nothing more than a thin spider's web to hang by, which cannot support you. It seeks to bring about the utopia of the millennium without Christ. Socialism and communism are a failed experiment that have been proven to fail over and over again in countries around the world that have tried it. It only serves to make the elite richer and the masses poorer, and it ruins the soul of its adherents.

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, 
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall, 
but we rise up and stand firm."
(Psa 20:7-8)

Some trust in the government and some in the economy, but we trust in the name of our great God Yehova and in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He delivers the righteous from all their troubles (Ps 34:19) and sustains them in times of famine (Ps 37:19). This God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end (Ps 48:14).

Putting it All Together
These are the signs of the times, which serve as a wake up call to us all that Jesus Christ is returning very, very soon. It seems the third seal has been opened, and the economic turmoil foretold in the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation has been released into the world, as I have written in my article The Seven Seals Being Opened in Real Time.

This is an unprecedented time in our nation's history and the history of our world. It is not business as usual, but rather apocalyptic days we are living in. If you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please get ready for the rapture. If you don't know Jesus, then now is the time to give your life to Him. I do not believe the government has the answer for this problem. The help of man is worthless (Ps 60:12). Jesus is calling upon everyone in the world, those who know Him and those who don't, to stop doing the things of the world, repent, pray and believe in Him, because He is coming back very, very soon.

Footnotes:
1 Source, Jerusalem Post, How does Israel's NIS 80b. stimulus package compare to global efforts?

It would take 738,838 years to pay off our national debt of $23.3 Trillion, if we paid one dollar per second. However, those would be steep payments, so let's say we only pay a more reasonable monthly amount like $1 Million per month to eliminate the debt. That would take us 23.3 million months or 1.9 million years. Therefore, adding an extra 2.2 trillion on top of that enormous debt is completely insane. That is what happens to those who drink the maddening wine of the adulteries of Babylon the Great (Rev 18:2-3). They trust in wealth, which cannot save them (Ps 49:6), and in the end they will fall along with Babylon the Great (Prov 11:28).

In order to understand how much money is in the economic stimulus package, it would take you 69,761 years to count aloud from one to 2.2 trillion stating one number per second. If an average of $1,200 is given to each of America's 157 million workers, that will cost the government $188.4 Billion USD. That constitutes only 8.6% of the $2.2 Trillion stimulus package, which leaves 91.4% of the stimulus package to be used for other purposes.

The Seven Seals Being Opened in Real Time

The book of Revelation speaks of a scroll with seven seals that will be opened by the Lamb in heaven during the final days leading up to His return to earth. These seals will unleash judgments upon the earth that the saints will be here to witness. When the Lord opens the first four seals, it releases the four horses of the apocalypse, which are as follows:

First Seal
"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." (Rev 6:1-2)

White Horse at DNC Denver 2008
The first horse of Revelation is a white horse, and notice that its rider held a bow but no arrows. I think this is significant. The rider of this first horse rides forth as a conqueror bent on conquest, but he is not using ammunition. He is using more peaceful means to conquer. He was given a crown. In my opinion, this represents the initial emergence of the antichrist. It could occur before most people realize that he is the antichrist.

One historical event that comes to mind, which could have fulfilled the biblical events that were foretold to happen when the first seal is opened, is Obama's apology tour of the world that he did right after he was elected President in 2008. He spent an inordinate amount of time traveling abroad, trying to win the favor of many nations, as if he was campaigning to be President of the entire wold. That's just an example of what may be depicted by the rider on the first horse. Interestingly, there were many other biblical signs that accompanied him.

Obama in Oval Office with crown, throne, and bow
For example, when he accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, the stage on which he gave his acceptance speech was modeled after the ancient temple of Pergamum, which was considered in Scripture to be the throne of satan. There was also a statue of a giant white horse (pictured above) standing on its hind legs atop the wide screen on which Obama's face appeared. The Denver Broncos icon, "Bucky the Bronco" provided important symbolism for that historic event.

Later as President on June 3, 2015, as he carried out his destructive policies, he personally released a photo of himself (shown here), which pictured him sitting in the Oval Office at the White House with a large bow on the table in front of him. The image had been digitally altered to include a throne of swords and a crown on his lap, but since he released the image himself, it seems that was the image he wanted to portray, which included some of the same symbols of the rider on the white horse that is released when the first seal is opened. It may seem too hard for most to believe, but it actually happened. Some people may doubt that anyone would be so blatant about it if it were really true, yet those in the occult often like to display their symbols right in plain view for all to see.

Second Seal
"When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come!' Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword." (Rev 6:3-4)

The rider on this second horse, which is fiery red, had power to take peace from the earth and make men kill each other. When you consider all the wars and rumors of war happening on the earth, you can see how this has already been unfolding. You have the Iran crisis and the threat of war with them that could begin World War III. At the same time you have the threat of North Korea launching nuclear missiles and starting a war. Then there is the continuing cold war with Russia, and the Syrian conflict, which the US, Russia, and Turkey have gotten involved in. So there is no peace on earth right now, as people fear the possibility of WW III (see here for more on that).

But it's not just the threat of wars that involve military personnel, it's also the constant stream of massacres and mass shootings. All over the world there are armed madmen terrorizing civilians in stores, streets, malls, and churches. There are people killing each other every day.  This seems to me to indicate that the second seal has already been opened.

Third Seal
Scripture says: "When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!'" (Rev 6:5-6)

When two pounds of wheat cost a day's wages, and six pounds of barley cost a day's wages, it becomes very expensive to eat. I reported in December 2019 that a man in Puerto Rico named Rene had a dream in September 2019, in which he saw the black horse walking through New York City.  Here is a link to the video with his dream:

Two End Time Dreams/Giant Black Horse NY!

If this brother actually saw the black horse of Revelation chapter 6 that comes forth when the third seal is opened, then that would indicate that the third seal has been opened. The fact that the giant black horse was in New York City, which is the financial capital of this country and the rest of the world, fits perfectly with the economic turmoil that will come when the third seal is opened.

Update: This article was originally posted on February 20, 2020, but a fulfillment of this section on the third seal occurred on March 9, 2020. On that day, which will now be known throughout history as Black Monday, the stock market crashed worldwide amid economic fears related to the coronavirus. According to Wikipedia, "The 2020 stock market crash is a global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020 during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and the NASDAQ-100 all fell into a correction on 27 February during one of the worst trading weeks since the financial crisis of 2007–08." It is interesting that the global stock market crash began on February 20th, unbeknownst to me, which was the day I posted this article originally.

Meanwhile, the price of oil also crashed on March 8, 2020. Wikipedia states: "On 8 March 2020, Saudi Arabia initiated a price war with Russia, triggering a major fall in the price of oil, with US oil prices falling by 34%, crude oil falling by 26%, and brent oil falling by 24%."

Moreover, China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) plunged 40% during first quarter. Goldman Sachs economists forecast a 24% drop in the US GDP for second quarter 2020, following a 6% decline in the first quarter. Morgan Stanley economists joined in with Goldman Sachs predicting a 30% drop in second quarter. In order to put that into perspective for you, if the world GDP is normally growing by 3% and slows down to 1%, that signals a recession, because any growth below 2% is classified as a recession. Yet the prospects for this year are even worse than that, considering that on March 25, 2020, IHS Markit revised down its forecast for world real GDP growth in 2020 to 0.7%.

Consequently, financial analysts are warning that "A global recession is inevitable" in 2020. In fact, there are even fears of a depression. For example, Alvine Capital Management's chairman Stephen Isaacs has stated that the coronavirus crisis is unprecedented, and that we are facing a 1929-like crisis that will be worse than 1987 and worse than 2008. Analysts are warning of "utter carnage" as oil crashes and global stocks tumble. Wall Street investors speculate 5,000,000 jobs will be lost in April, and that the month will begin with two million losses. They are expecting US unemployment rates to average 12.8% during second quarter of 2020. Let this be a confirmation and a wake up call to everyone reading this article that what I have written is truly happening. It seems the third seal has indeed been opened.

Fourth Seal
"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." (Rev 6:7-8)

This fourth horse is a pale color and some translations say it is green. The Greek word is chlōros meaning greenish, or pale. It reminds us of a person who is dying, and their face becomes ghostly pale, even greenish. It does not look healthy, but looks like death. The rider on this pale horse is named Death, and hell is following close behind him. Notice what they have the power to do, which is to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. So this seal unleashes more killing of people, not only by the sword, but also by famine, plague, and wild beasts.

I have seen videos and heard news reports of wild animals attacking people. I think it is on the rise and we'll probably continue to see it happening more and more.

I have already written elsewhere about the many modern plagues taking place in our day, including the bat plague in Australia, the locust plague in Africa, the swine fever plague that is killing millions of pigs, and the coronavirus known as COVID-19 that has already killed over 359,903. And some of these plagues are threatening to cause famine, which is also being brought about through floods and droughts around the world. Therefore, it is my opinion that the fourth seal may have already been opened. For more on this, please see my articles End Time Plagues and Coronavirus Origin, Reason, and Remedy.

Fifth Seal
"When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?' Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been." (Rev 6:9-11)

After this fifth seal is opened, there will be mass martyrdom of the saints, as many who follow Jesus will be put to death for His Word and for their testimony, until the full number of those who are to be killed have been killed. There will also be prison camps set up, and they will be worse than the Nazi concentration camps. As you prepare yourself for this, I recommend reading my article, The Glory of Martyrdom for Christ. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized with fire beforehand, in order to help you endure this.

Sixth Seal
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?'" (Rev 6:12-17)

Prophetic Words of Jesus in the Gospels
As I explained in my previous article called Synching Up the Seven Seals with the Gospels, the sixth seal correlates with what Jesus taught that before His return there would be signs in the sun, moon and stars, nations in anguish, tsunamis, terror, and heavenly bodies shaken.

“Immediately after the distress of those days 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’" (Mt 24:49)

"But in those days, following that distress, 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'" (Mar 13:24-25)

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." (Lk 21:25-26).

Jesus taught that after the fulfillment of these signs, which seem to correlate with the sixth seal, then He will come and send His angels, and they will gather His elect from the four winds.

Seventh Seal
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God's people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up before God from the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them." (Rev 8:1-6).

The fact that there there will be silence in heaven for about half an hour, when this seal is opened, may indicate that there will be a brief, holy pause right before everything gets much worse. The seven angels who stand before God are given seven trumpets, the prayers of all God's people are going up before the throne, and then on earth there will be peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake, as the seven angels prepare to sound their trumpets.

Closing Words
When the first four seals are opened, it releases the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, which will then run together concurrently. The signs around us seem to indicate that this has already happened.

Things will get worse and worse from here on out. The famine will continue becoming more and more critical. Disasters will continue becoming more and more severe. People will continue fighting and killing each other more and more. Floods and droughts will continue to be more and more frequent. The climate will continue becoming more and more abnormal. The plagues will continue to get worse and worse, killing more and more people. The situation will continue to get more and more sinister.

Meanwhile, following release of the four horsemen, there are still three more seals remaining to be opened by the Lamb. The next one is the fifth, which brings on more and more martyrdom, including extermination camps. And then the sixth one will be opened, which will release a great earthquake and even shake the heavenly bodies.

What excites me is that the Lord is now calling His children to Himself, pouring out His Spirit on us, before He returns to rapture his saints up to meet Him in the clouds. You can see it everywhere, as the saints around the world (including me and my family) are receiving urgent, supernatural warnings from God to prepare for Christ's soon return. Many people are having dreams and visions of the rapture in fulfillment of Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 2:17-18 (see here for several of those dreams and visions). Many are also having dreams and visions of cataclysms about the strike the earth, such as tsunamis, asteroids, nuclear war, earthquakes, and chaos (see here for some of those). Get ready, people! Prepare while you still can. Get your house clean and in order. Repent and turn from your evil ways.

As Jesus said to the angel of the Church in Smyrna: "Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Rev 2:10)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
