Any Day Now – Day 24

On April 24, 2024

It’s good, to be up-to-date in what’s going on in the world. So we can be wise, we must compare what we read with God’s Word. I find that the news media is biased and not from the conservative viewpoint. There are only a couple of news channels that offer news from the conservative viewpoint but the rest are puppets of the world’s viewpoint. As I read, I know what to pray for and how I should be praying. The Holy Spirit has already prepared my heart as I started my day with the Lord!

The liberal media is trying to push a one-world government agenda and the first part of that involves brainwashing the citizens. I am not a conspiracy theorist so please understand that I say these things in light of God’s Word. Oh do we ever see this happening today! The vaccinated blame the unvaccinated, the political left blames the right. The unbelieving world uses the internet like a newspaper, believing everything they read as truth! I can’t recall a more evil and corrupt world than I see now. I heard a quote recently: “The problem of the heart is the heart of the problem!” This is so true. Although the churches are filled with people, they are not all necessarily born-again Christians – their heart has not been converted.

I was born again on April 1st, 1980. At that time, I could go visit strangers with the Pastor’s wife and talk to them about the Lord. However, today, not only would that be physically dangerous but would be classified as “hate speech”! It could also lead to violence. The Apostles and disciples of Jesus’ day went through this after His resurrection. They were imprisoned, they were brutally killed. I think it is good to share news stories as they relate with the Scriptures and, more specifically, the end times. They help us to see that the Rapture is imminent – it can happen at any moment (so be ready)!

We must remember that the Tribulation period is all about Israel. It is called the time of Jacob’s troubles, not the “world’s” troubles. The Church did take the place of Israel! The pause between Daniel’s 69th and 70th week ushered in the Church Age. After the Church Age (after the Rapture), God will resume His judgment on Israel and Daniel’s 70th week begins (the Tribulation). This same judgment will affect the entire globe, not just Israel. The Church is already with Christ in Heaven and ready for the Marriage Supper so the Church will not receive this judgment. God will spare the Church from going through this judgment for Israel’s spiritual rebellion and we will be kept from that time!

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

As we look at what the world’s condition is in at this time and await the Rapture, we will see both anti-Christian news and anti-Israel news and discrimination. Those of us who have been blessed to live in the United States are free to practice our faith at the moment. But as time draws nearer to the end, that wonderful privilege will be taken away. It took a pandemic to close most churches. Some remained opened and suffered the consequences of government interference. But oh how the world hated the fact that some pastors refused to close down their church. Some were arrested and placed in jail while other Christians applauded the arrest! It seems the world has gone topsy-turvy!

We are also seeing our constitutional freedoms being taken away. Our forefathers’ foundation is dwindling. The following article was posted on Christian Post on February 6th, 2022, (link below). I realize it’s an old article, but reader, the outcome is still true today! The article is entitled “55 federal agencies tracking religious objection requests amid concern from conservatives”: the paragraphs which bothered me the most are below.

For example, the Treasury Department’s Office of Civil Rights and Diversity has stated its database will document all religious exemption requests and denials.

The office “will track and maintain ‘information about a requestor’s religious beliefs’ as well as the ‘informal dispute resolution’ of each person,” the Liberty Counsel Action statement reads.

“It will also record ‘correspondence,’ ‘supporting notes and documentation’ and even ‘records of oral conversations,’ on every person who requests an exemption. This database will track and record this level of information for everyone from ‘pre-employment, during current or former employment or for [attendees at] a particular event.’”

While there are variations in the rules across the government agencies, the group warns that “all of them are causing serious concern about invasive privacy violations by the federal government recording and permanently storing religious and medical data on those seeking exemptions.”
HTTPS://WWW.CHRISTIANPOST.COM/NEWS/55-FEDERAL-AGENCIES-TRACKING-RELIGIOUS-OBJECTION-REQUESTS.HTML

If this doesn’t bother you, it should! This is pointing toward the end times and the ability of the Antichrist to track those who do not receive his mark. Today’s AI technology has advanced so rapidly! A look at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) website reveals Karl Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari’s plans to computerize man’s brain and insert it into a “trans human” robot. Efforts by the WEF are currently underway and are expected to perfect it between 2030-2050. Their efforts for 15-minute cities are also underway. What better way to track everything about an individual than to place him in a city that collects all his data? This 40-minute video is excellent. It is not made by believers so it is not geared for the Church. HOWEVER, it will give you an idea of what the WEF’s intentions are. They are not hiding their agenda:

https://rumble.com/v4q7hcq-the-end-of-humanity-as-planned-by-the-global-leaders.html

Now that you have an idea of what the WEF’s plans are, your eyes are opened to the elite’s agenda for the world. This is a perfect segue for the Antichrist to come into power. The groundwork for the verse below will already be laid.

Rev 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

How else can the Antichrist track people except they have some kind of mark? The Bible says that they will be forced to take his mark on their foreheads or right hand. What kind of mark is it? The Bible doesn’t say but it clearly says there will be one. Make no mistake, reader, those who accept this mark will be condemned to Hell and that is not a place you want to go to for all eternity!

As well, the one-world religion will prevent anyone from following any “spiritual” beliefs other than what they will teach. The enforcement of this will be imposed by the one-world government.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The biblical end times reveal that this tracking of information will be alive and well during the Tribulation. One must study the Word of God. Only the light of the Word of God can illuminate the heart and open the eyes of the blind. We must be wise! Ask the Lord to show you what is His will for you.

Pro 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

The general rule of thumb for Christians should be: If the world is FOR something, you should question it because the world is evil! Do your research – read your Bible – pray asking for wisdom. God does not forsake His child.

Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

End time news can be exciting to the born-again Christian because they know their Blessed Hope can come for him/her any second! But to the one who is not saved, it is a different story: fear sets in their hearts. Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Rapture and End Time News – WEF Says CBDCs Must Be Implanted Under Skin

By Kate Plourde

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Rev 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

These are the buzz words today amongst Christian circles. When Covid hit, we were being told, “Don’t take the mark of the beast.” Friend, the mark of the beast won’t happen until after the Rapture! The biggest issue at hand is if you are a born-again child of God. If not, then you have everything to be worried about. But if you are saved, this event won’t be part of your life. The Apostle Paul taught the Thessalonians extremely well on this subject. Just read below:

1 Thess 5:1-11 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. (2) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

(4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (7) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. (8) But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

(9) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [The word salvation here means preservation of destruction, danger or great calamity.] (10) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. (11) Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

So as believers, we must warn the world of what is going to happen according to the Scriptures. This is the purpose of this post. Pay attention, reader! We are not fast approaching the end times, we are there!

The Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is not the mark of the beast. However, it is a bridge that will lead to the mark of the Antichrist, reader! We cannot be ignorant of what is to come. The Bible teaches us what to expect and we are to keep our eyes fully opened to recognize such prophecies being fulfilled right before our very eyes. Friend, we are in the end times, of that there is no doubt.

Notice what is being said about this topic of CBDCs:

“You have to think of CDBCs as a control system [or a permit system], not a currency,” Prof. Werner explained. “It’s a conditional currency based on you actually getting that permit. Now, if you happen to be some kind of critic of government policy or a critic of central banks this could be difficult. Or if you dare to step out of the 15-minute city zone, you know, maybe you’ll find that: ‘Oh [my CBDC is] not working’. Of course, these are things we’ve seen already in China. There’s plenty of videos where somebody tries to use it to buy a ticket and it doesn’t work because his social credit scores are low.” And, effectively, there’s no real right to appeal. With very few people controlling the very many, the controllers will use computers and algorithms to run the system. If you appeal the blocking of CDBCs you’ll be dealing with automated responses.
https://www.planet-today.com/2023/07/wef-says-cbdcs-must-be-implanted-under.html

And if that’s not enough, European news are also covering this:

“You will get 2,000 Euros into your account every month. But of course, to run this efficiently [they’ll say:] ‘We need to use the latest technology so you need the CBDC chip implant’.”
https://www.eutimes.net/2023/07/wef-says-cbdcs-must-be-implanted-under-your-skin-if-you-want-to-participate-in-society/

This scene in Satan’s “play” has been set; the hour is at hand. It is not sometime in the future but actually occurring at this very moment. China has a version of this called the Social Credit System. A simple Google search will explain it further. If your social credit “score” is below standards, you won’t be free to participate in certain things, both business and private sector. It’s another way to control the public.

Be prepared and be in the Word of God. The Bible brings peace and comfort during times like these.

Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

We know that we are even closer to the Rapture than we were yesterday!

1 Thess 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thess 5:9-11 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (10) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. (11) Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – Digital IDs Will Record Everything

By Kate Plourde

On June 23, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

If you don’t see the handwriting on the wall, then you are totally oblivious to what is happening around the world. Living in America has its advantages but we cannot bury our heads in the sand and expect a different outcome. First came the digital health ID then everyone jumped on the bandwagon! We now have a chip which can be implanted in a hand and used to pay for anything, anywhere! Wherever your credit card can be used, the chip can be used.

Do you see where all of this is headed toward? There is a “system” coming in the not too distant future, where all activities in a person’s life will be recorded: what you pay for your electricity, your total grocery bill, doctor’s office visits, health records, time you spend online and where you go online. It is already being recorded individually, but the ultimate goal is to have “one-stop shopping” for everything in ONE place. According to Forbes:

The European Union will mandate digital identity under eIDAS 2.0, which will go into effect in September 2023 and ensure all Member States offer a digital identity wallet (DIW) to citizens and businesses. According to the European Commission, “At least 80% of citizens should be able to use a digital ID solution to access key public services by 2030.”
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2023/03/24/2023-the-year-digital-identities-go-mainstream/?sh=38f24b8444b5

I am not a scholar but I can tell that this type of system is a “shadow” of things to come once the Antichrist rules the earth. There will be a system in place where everyone will have to receive his “mark” to be able to buy or sell anything, anywhere! That information will be recorded and the bearer’s whereabouts will be known to those “powers that be”!

You may not think that taking this “mark” is that big a deal, but Friend, it most certainly IS! Look at what the Bible says will happen to those that take this “digital ID-type” mark:

Rev 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, (10) The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: (11) And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name

Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

You may think to yourself that you would never worship the Antichrist, but the Bible says you will.

2 Thess 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If you enter the Tribulation (which begins when the Antichrist is revealed by signing a peace treaty with Israel), you will believe the Antichrist and all that he says and does. You will be totally infatuated with the man. You will believe his lies because of the delusion that has come upon those who would not accept Christ.

I am certainly not date setting for the beginning of the Tribulation. What I am doing is trying to wake people up to how late in the “season” we are for the Lord’s return. The Rapture can happen at any second. There is no timeline for this event; that is why it is said to be imminent. Once the Rapture does happen, the Holy Spirit’s restraint will be removed and Satan will be able to RUN with his agenda. A great deception will happen because there won’t be Christians around to speak truth, God’s truth! Will you be part of the deception or will you be gone when all of this takes place?

Rapture and End Time News – Klaus Schwab

By Kate Plourde

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

No matter how smart a man is or how progressive technology becomes, no one can out-master the Master and Creator!

There will come a time very soon where Satan will deceive the world through his man, the Antichrist. In the meantime, the spirit of antichrist is hard at work in our world through people bent on taking control. (1 John 4:3) You may think I’m a conspiracy theorist but I’m not. I’m a Bible believing, born-again Christian, determined to warn anyone who will read this blog, about what is to come! If these news events are happening now, can you imagine in a year from now?

A great example of my warning is this man. Have you heard of Klaus Schwab? Up until recently, he was not in the news. He was born in Germany, and started the World Economic Forum in 1971. Although the World Economic Forum has no power to make decisions, its members have a lot of political influence as well as influence over business policies. Why do I say that? Here are some of its members and a snippet of who they are:

Christine Legarde, Lawyer, President of the European Central Bank, Managing director of the International Monetary Fund, 2011-present, Minister of Finance (France), 2007-2011, Minister of Agriculture, 2007, Minister of Commerce and Industry, 2005-2007
Al Gore, American politician and climate-change environmentalist
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, German-born, climate-change environmentalist
Borge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum, Normalized relationship with China
Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Liberal, also served as Minister of Economics, Industry and Digital Affairs
Peter Sands, British Banker, chief executive (CEO) of Standard Chartered (a British multinational bank with operations in consumer, corporate and institutional banking, and treasury services) from November 2006 to June 2015.
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, An Austrian businessman and Chairman Emeritus of the Nestle Group, a Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate corporation headquartered in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland; also was on the board of directors of Credit Suisse Group, L’Oréal, and ExxonMobil. He is also a member of ERT (European Round Table of Industrialists)
Angela Merkel, German former politician and scientist (studied physics at Karl Marx University), advocated for the resettlement of large numbers of people in Germany. As a result, more than one million migrants entered Germany in 2015 alone!
Francois Velleroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France, serving as Governor of the Bank of France and ex officio President of the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (an independent administrative authority which exercises prudential supervision of regulated French financial firms such as banks and insurance companies).
Kristalina Georgieva, a Bulgarian serving as Director of the International Monetary Fund, grew up under Bulgaria’s communist party.
Marc Benioff, American internet entrepreneur, CEO of Salesforce, Owner of Time, ironically opposed capitalism, favoring strict gun control, defending liberal-left approaches to homelessness, and supporting liberal expansionist immigration policy.
Antonio Guterres, a Portuguese politician, Secretary-General of the United Nations, Member of the Portuguese Socialist Party, studied physics and engineering, against fossil fuels
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, pro “family planning,” not a medical doctor, a member of the violent and powerful communist Ethiopian political party known as the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)
Sharan Burrow, Former General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, advocate and campaigner for social justice, women’s rights, and placing people, not least as workers, at the heart of environmental and climate action
Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Paramount Leader and President of China, promote Marxism-Leninism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Chinese political system is authoritarian. There are no freely elected national leaders, political opposition is suppressed, all religious activity is controlled by the CCP, dissent is not permitted, and civil rights are curtailed.
Delia Ferreira Rubio, Chair of the Transparency International, a German with PhD in Law, registered association founded in 1993 by former employees of the World Bank
Sarita Nayyar, Chief Operating Officer, World Economic Forum USA, Chief Operating Officer, Centre for Global Industries, which is the foremost multi-stakeholder platform for shaping the future of industries in a strategic and socially responsible way.

When you look at the totality of the backgrounds for each of the members listed above, one can easily see how influential they will be in the end times. Nowhere to be found are godly Christian individuals! Nowhere to be found are right-wing conservatives! We have:

7 bankers/involved with banking/economics,
4 environmentalist,
2 scientist,
1 internet mogul,
5 socialists/communists,
1 Medical moguls,
4 Commerce and trade

As you watch this clip, you will see what Klaus Schwab has in mind when he refers to a brain implant that will transmit your thoughts. He casually mentions it as if it’s in the future. But you can be sure that as far into the end times as we currently are, this technology has already been created and they are working on a way to get it out to everyone in the world.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1559654850274770945

The WEF lists a whole slew of categories that they are working on. You can view them at WEF Communities. This should open the eyes of the skeptics who don’t believe that there’s some kind of “one-world” planning going on! I challenge you to browse through their website. You can see how many years of work have gone into the WEF’s formation. It’s not something that has happened in the past year or so. It’s no coincidence that the top contributors have a vast background, including the Students and Young Professionals they are attempting to attract.

As we approach the Tribulation hour, we can see that we are already at a time where biblical prophecies are coming to past.

2 Thess 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Klaus Schwab’s implant doesn’t necessarily have to be in the brain. It can be an implant in the forehead or anywhere on your body. Whatever the implant will be, it will control every thought you have and every move you make. It will be too late! The Bible says it will be “IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads” … it doesn’t say it will a mark ON the right hand, or ON their foreheads. Is this a coincidence? Did the Apostle John use the word “in” meaning “on”? I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all. God knew how He wanted these verses written in the Bible.

Rev 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

We are seeing Bible prophecy coming true in our lifetime, Reader! If you’re a Christian, these are exciting times. Jesus told us these events would happen and they are happening. To the unbeliever, however, these are scary times.
