Commercial Real Estate Defaults. Will Our Economy Survive?

 When Covid shut down the world and folks were told they shouldn't come to the office, a new normal was upon us.  Many businesses realized that they don't have to spend billions on offices.  It turns out that millions of folks can do their jobs just fine from their homes.  So now what happens to the huge office buildings that are sitting empty?  How do you make the payments on those mortgages when they are sitting mostly empty?

It sounds like maybe the payments aren't being paid.

A lot of people have been waiting for "the other shoe to drop", and now that day has arrived.  Thanks to rapidly rising interest rates and historically low occupancy rates, we are facing an unprecedented commercial real estate crisis.  

Borrowers are starting to walk away from commercial real estate properties all over the nation, and that is really bad news for small and mid-size banks because they are holding most of these loans.  

Needless to say, a lot of small and mid-size banks are simply not going to be able to survive a nationwide tsunami of commercial real estate defaults.

When U.S. Senator John Kennedy was asked about this growing crisis, he didn't mince words...

"Am I worried? The short answer is yes," Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, said in an interview. "The long answer is hell yes."

"I hope the Federal Reserve and the banking regulators are worried as well, and I hope they won't be caught flat-footed like they were with the bank failures that we've had so far," Kennedy said.

In some cities, commercial real estate values have already declined by more than half.

As borrowers increasingly walk away from bloated mortgages, lenders are going to be facing a balance sheet shock of epic proportions...

As the federal government strives to contain financial market turmoil, the next risk looming over the nation's banks is in plain sight: the $20 trillion commercial real estate market.

Some $1.5 trillion in mortgages will come due in the next two years, a potential time bomb as higher interest rates and spiraling office vacancies push down property values.

And because 70 percent of bank-held commercial mortgages sit on the balance sheets of regional and smaller lenders, a write-down in commercial loans could spell big trouble for the financial system and spill over into the larger economy just as the 2024 presidential campaign gets underway.

Fitch Ratings already estimated that 35% -- or $5.8 billion -- of pooled securities commercial mortgages coming due between April and December 2023 will not be able to be refinanced. 

"Commercial real estate is melting down fast," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a recent tweet. "Home values next."

Of course we are constantly seeing headlines talking about crashes and meltdowns and they certainly don't always come true.  But this warning about commercial real estate seems rather obvious.  Is there enough "money" left to bail everyone out if billions and billions of dollars goes up in smoke?

Elon says that the crash will start with commercial but then fall into home values.  Americans have rung up enormous balances on their credit cards and home equity lines in part because they feel wealthy as they look at their property values.  But what happens to all of them when their $800,000 home falls in value to $400,000?

There can be no doubt that Americans have gotten drunk on the easy money of COVID bailouts and 0% interest rates.  But we know that the Bible speaks strongly about those who are prone to drunkenness.  This time it might not be alcohol they are drunk on but drunk on Mammon.  One day this crash will happen.  We just don't know when God will withdraw His hand of mercy on this nation.

Major Insurers Pull Out of California

The land of fruit and nuts continues to be dealt some serious blows.  The rising costs will no doubt force even more people to leave the Golden State.  That’s likely sad news for the rest of us because the Californians move to Montana, Texas, Idaho, Colorado and even the Black Hills of South Dakota, and end up pushing for the same liberal crap/policies that has ruined their home state.  They turned CO blue.  And if they turn other red states blue and gain 2 senators from every state they flip, it may be impossible for conservatives to get a say in anything as far as governing goes.

*************************

Faltering California took another economic hit on Friday, as America's largest personal lines insurer said it would immediately stop selling new home insurance policies in the state. California is the largest property and casualty insurance market in the country. 

State Farm attributed the decision to three factors: "historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market." Reinsurance is a method of transferring some of an insurer's risk to other insurers.  

Existing policies will stay in effect -- for now. There's always the possibility that, if things keep deteriorating, State Farm could decide to "non-renew" current policy-holders. That's what AIG did last year, sending thousands of high-end homeowners scrambling to find new coverage.

Insurance giant Allstate has stopped writing new policies for homeowners, condominiums and commercial structures, citing wildfires, higher costs of construction and higher reinsurance premiums, the SF Chronicle reports.

It’s Too Late! The Arctic Ice is Melting Too Fast!

 It’s funny that they tell us, “since satellite records began in 1979”.  If you go back to 1979 you will find that climate scientists were telling us that all the scientific evidence showed that the world was heading into an ice age that was going to cause serious disruption and death.  So following 30 years of cold and snow from the 60’s into the 80’s the ice thickened in the Arctic.  Now it’s melting as we enter a warming cycle for the past decades.  No doubt the governments of the world will use this “ice melting” and “ice age coming” narrative to force another level of control over the people.  “Do as you’re told or you will have your banking card shut off!”

**************************

It is now too late to save summer Arctic sea ice, research has shown, and scientists say preparations need to be made for the increased extreme weather across the northern hemisphere that is likely to occur as a result.

Analysis shows that even if greenhouse gas emissions are sharply reduced, the Arctic will be ice-free in September in coming decades. The study also shows that if emissions decline slowly or continue to rise, the first ice-free summer could be in the 2030s, a decade earlier than previous projections.

The research shows that 90% of the melting is the result of human-caused global heating, with natural factors accounting for the rest.

Since satellite records began in 1979, summer Arctic ice has shrunk by 13% a decade, in one of the clearest signs of the climate crisis. Arctic sea ice reaches its annual minimum at the end of summer, in September, and in 2021 it was at its second lowest extent on record.

“Unfortunately it has become too late to save Arctic summer sea ice,” said Prof Dirk Notz, of the University of Hamburg, Germany, who was part of the study team. “As scientists, we’ve been warning about the loss of Arctic summer sea ice for decades. This is now the first major component of the Earth system that we are going to lose because of global warming. People didn’t listen to our warnings.

“This brings another warning bell, that the kind of projections that we’ve made for other components of the Earth system will start unfolding in the decades to come.”

Other climate scientists said in 2022 that the world was on the brink of multiple disastrous tipping points.

Dam Breaks in Ukraine and Affects Everyone

 One can see how the desire for a one-world government will continue to grow.  The globalists want it. The global warming crowd wants it.  The LGBTQ crowd will want it so they can push their agenda globally.  And as more and more events like this dam being destroyed continue to happen, even the ordinary folks will start to see the value. They will be sold on the idea that wars will cease, productivity will soar, the planet will be saved and LGBTQ will be able to travel anywhere in the world and feel safe.

“While they are saying ‘peace and safety’, destruction will come upon them suddenly.”

****************************************

The destruction of a major dam in southern Ukraine has sent global prices of corn and wheat soaring, reversing this year’s fall in prices after a major spike caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power station, which sits on the Dnieper River in an area that Moscow controls, raised anxiety about potential disruption to global supplies given Ukraine’s position as a major exporter of wheat and corn.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Goes Off on Any Idea of Afterlife

 When you read words like these they make you kind of sad because you know they are going to be played at the Great White Throne judgment.

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't sold on the idea of an afterlife.

Schwarzenegger and his pal, Danny DeVito, got deep about what happens after you die during a conversation for Interview magazine. The "FUBAR" actor maintained that heaven is "some fantasy."

"It reminds me of Howard Stern’s question to me," Schwarzenegger recalled. "‘Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?’ I said, ‘Nothing. You’re six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f--king liar.’"

"I said, ‘We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that.’"

DeVito chimed in with, "We deteriorate."

"Except in some fantasy," Schwarzenegger responded. "When people talk about, ‘I will see them again in heaven,’ it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t."

"Because I will f--king miss the s--- out of everything. To sit with you here, that will one day be gone?" he said. "And to have fun and to go to the gym and to pump up, to ride my bike on the beach, to travel around, to see interesting things all over the world. What the f---?"

"Life! It’s the best!" DeVito responded.

Here;  Arnold Schwarzenegger says heaven is 'some fantasy': 'That's the sad part' | Fox News

I think we all know how famous Arnold is.  He's probably one of the most recognizable men on planet earth.  The Lord blessed him and even allowed him to be the Governor of California...but it will all be meaningless unless he repents and turns to Christ before he takes his last breath.  Devito and Arnold think life on earth is the best we will ever see.  Jesus says none of this is real and what we can see today will just be a tiny taste of what we will experience when we enter into eternity with Him!

Whistle Blower in US Military Says We Have Alien Ships in our Possession

The alien news is coming at us every single day.  It's coming like a flood now!  For 75 years the military covered up, ridiculed, stonewalled and gaslighted anyone who came forward with stories of seeing UFOs or aliens.

Today we read and see video of an military guy who is saying that all this secrecy is immoral and needs to be exposed.

An Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency is coming forward with information on what he claims are extraterrestrial craft recovered and kept secret by the U.S. government.

Blurry videos of unidentified flying objects have long been a staple of those looking for evidence that stories of UFOs may not be conspiracy theories. In recent years, the government has taken a more vocal role in investigating such sightings, with Congress forming an official U.S. government “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” task force, recently renamed to the “All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office,” or AARO.

At the same time, NASA and other government agencies have repeatedly said there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity on Earth, attributing most sightings to natural phenomena or human-made objects.

Now, Air Force veteran and former task force member David Grusch is formally blowing the whistle on secrets he said no one has ever shared publicly before.

Grusch spoke exclusively to award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, reporting for NewsNation. Coulthart has spent years reporting on the subject of UFOs.

In his role within the U.S. defense establishment, 36-year-old Grusch said he was trusted with some of the government’s most intimate secrets.

In his time at the UAP task force, Grusch said the group was refused access to a crash retrieval program.

“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch said.

According to Grusch, that includes spacecraft from quite a number of other species.

“I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived, it was a ruse,” Grusch told Coulthart. “People started to confide in me. Approach me. I have plenty of senior, former, intelligence officers that came to me, many of which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me that they were part of a program.”

Grusch said those officials named the program, which he had never heard of before.

“They told me, based on their oral testimony, and they provided me documents and other proof, that there was in fact a program that the UAP Task Force was not read into,” he said.

Grusch alleges the U.S. government has recovered non-human craft for decades. He recently filed a whistle-blower complaint, stating he gave what he referred to as classified “proof” to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

NewsNation has confirmed Grusch’s credentials and resume, but has not seen or verified the alleged proof he said he provided to investigators. Grusch said he can’t show NewsNation the evidence for national security reasons.

Grusch also said he has not seen photos of the alleged craft himself, but has spoken extensively with other intelligence officials who have.

Grusch told NewsNation the American public has been lied to for decades.

“There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace which is extremely unethical and immoral,” Grusch said.

If Grusch’s statements are accurate, it would be the first time an official representative from the U.S. government has said we are not alone in the universe.

“We’re definitely not alone,” Grusch confirmed “The data points, quite empirically that we’re not alone.”

Grusch also told NewsNation it isn’t just spacecraft that have been recovered.

“Well, naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed. Sometimes you encounter dead pilots and believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,” he said.

Journalist Leslie Kean broke Grusch’s whistleblower story Monday morning in “The Debrief.” Her career has been mainstream and credible, including a series of exclusive reports on UFOs for the New York Times, dating back to 2017.

“It is also harder for people to wrap their minds around the concept of a crashed object from someone else. I think it’s easier to accept we see things in the sky we can’t explain,” she said.

Kean said she’s had skeptics question her reporting before, noting many who had questions about a 2017 story on a Pentagon UFO program. A program, she said, the government confirmed the existence of three years later.

According to Kean, she has multiple sources that back up Grusch’s story.

Kean said the lack of documents or photographs from Grusch didn’t raise red flags for her, though of course she would like to see those documents.

“The problem with that is all of that information is classified. As we said in the story, everything that Grusch told Congress and told the Department of Defense Inspector General, all of that information is classified,” Kean said.

Grusch is aware some people will think he is making his story up but insists he is speaking the truth.

“I am for real. I am sitting here at great personal risk and obvious professional risk by talking to you today,” he said.

In a statement to NewsNation, the Pentagon said to date, “AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

“AARO is committed to following the data and its investigation wherever it leads,” the statement said.

AARO’s historical review of records and testimonies is due to Congress by June 2024.

The group said it “welcomes the opportunity to speak with a former or current employee or contractor who believes they have information relevant to this historical review.”

It's very simple folks.  Satan started this "alien" deception about the time Israel declared itself an independent nation in 1948.  When he saw that he knew that the birth pangs had started and the return of Jesus was close.  So he started sending his demons, disguised as beings from other planets, riding around in space ships that defy human understanding of physics.  The whole world will be deceived, even the elect if that were possible.

He also made sure the Darwin and evolution theory got taught in public schools about the same time.  If he could convince most humans that we evolved from pond scum billions of years ago we would naturally believe that pond scum on other planets also evolved intelligent life.  And if they evolved a billion years before we did then they would have the technology to cross light years of space to come visit us!  It makes perfect sense!!

Except to say it's a huge lie.

Don't be deceived. 

When people ask you, "Do you believe in aliens?"  You can respond with a question and ask them, "Do you believe in angels?"  Of course we know that angels are created by God individually and are intelligent and even appear in bodily form BUT THEY ARE NOT HUMANS.  So by definition that are "alien" to planet earth.  1/3 of those angels fell and they are cooking something so terrifying for the world that "men will faint with fear" as they see what is coming upon them.

You can take it to the bank that UFOs and aliens will be used by the left-behind world to explain where all the followers of Christ went following the rapture.

Target Stores In All Kinds of Trouble From All Sides

 So your local Target store decided to stock baby and toddler LGBTQ clothing.  One swimsuit that really pushed the "normal" people too far was a swimsuit for little boys that had a pouch built in to hide the kids wiener....so he could look more like a girl if that's who he identified as.

The "normal" people made the videos of Target merch go viral and everybody said, "I'm not shopping at the woke store anymore!"  And Target stock started to come down losing billions in market share.  How much had to do with the boycott from normal people??  We don't know.

So Target started to move their LGBTQ products to the back of the store or remover them completely.  This has now set off the LGBTQ mafia who is demanding that Target put all the gay crap right in the main entrance to the store because its PRIDE MONTH for the gays.

So now Target is in a place where everybody is pissed at them.  Oh well, the gays only account for 1% of Americans so Target would be wise to pay attention to the 99%.

More than 200 LGBTQ groups angered by Target's decision to pull Pride merchandise from shelves are demanding the company "denounce extremists" and restock all the Pride merchandise in stores and online.

The Human Rights Campaign, along with GLAAD, GLSEN and other groups, released a statement asking Target and other businesses like Anheuser-Busch to "reject and speak out against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism going into Pride Month." More than 200 other progressive and LGBTQ organizations signed on to the statement, which argued that showing support for their community was good for business.

The organizations laid out a three-part demand that calls on Target to restock all the Pride merchandise both in stores and online, ensure the safety of Target employees and release a statement "reaffirming their commitment to the LGBTQ+ community" within 24 hours.

"When it comes to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, there is no such thing as neutrality," the LGTBQ coalition said.

The coalition suggested they would continue to support Target and other businesses who rejected criticism from consumers.

"Target, and all businesses, can leverage the support of LGBTQ+ organizations to navigate this hate, so that together, we can let extremists know unequivocally that, just as with every other failed anti-LGBTQ+ campaign of the past, fear will not win," the statement reads.

Target displays LGBTQ-themed apparel annually leading into June. However, the retail giant came under increased scrutiny after consumers noticed stores selling "tuck-friendly" women's bathing suits for transgender people and Pride apparel for children and infants.

The company responded to widespread backlash over the Pride merchandise by moving some Pride products to less prominent sections of the store and removing other merchandise altogether. Target said it moved the products to ensure employees' safety.

Here;  200 LGBTQ groups demand Target restock Pride merch, release statement now: 'No such thing as neutrality' | Fox News

You know who else said, "You are either for me or against me?  You are either scattering or gathering."  Yep, that'd be Jesus.

So not only have the gays hijacked God's promise, the rainbow, but now they are stealing Jesus' words and saying, "You are either FOR US or AGAINST US!  There can be no neutrality in this societal battle.  You either bow to us or we will bully and beat you until you fly the dang rainbow flag in your front yard!!"

America Inching Closer to Direct Confrontation With Russia

 If you think about it, the munitions that America is supplying Ukraine is being used by their soldiers to kill Russians.  Let's put the shoe on the other foot.  If Iran was giving missiles and explosives to the Taliban that was being used to maim and kill US soldiers, and we had the opportunity to take out a Iranian train, ship or plane carrying these munitions to Afghanistan, wouldn't it be a smart thing to do it?

So how long is Russia going to allow USA and other Western nations to ship explosives, bullets, planes and missiles over to Ukraine before they start targeting our planes and boats carrying those ordinances?

The UK just sent some long range missiles to Ukraine which could be used to target Moscow if the Ukrainian soldiers decide to "send a message" to Putin.  They have promised they won't do this but you know how the "fog of war" works.

According so some "insiders" we could be days or minutes away from the Russians responding against us, or our western allies, in a big way.

Stay tuned.

What is Abortion?

 I ran across this site and video today.  The video features an abortion doctor explaining how they abort babies that are 14-22 weeks.

How anyone could watch this video and not realize that they are murdering a baby is beyond me.  Quite honestly anyone who could say otherwise must be under some type of demonic delusion.

Watch it and save it for the next time you are debating a liberal who favors abortion.

It's Not Just the Economy That's On the Verge of Collapse

 First off, let me start with some good news.  A few months ago we were all told that eggs were going to be in extreme shortage because a chicken farm burned to the ground and the price of eggs went to $5 per dozen with a limit of 2 dozen per customer at our local store.  As of last night, eggs cost $1.49 dzn at the same store with no limit on purchase.

Remember the "diesel fuel shortage!" that was going to rock the country about 6 months ago when the nation was down to like 30 days of supply and the price was rising?  That didn't seem to happen either and now diesel has come back down to about $4 per gallon and there is no mention of running out of diesel for the busy summer months.

So just remember that God is in control!  We see all these terrifying headlines that everything is going to collapse and vanish!  But as long as the earth endures there will be be winter and spring, cold and hot, rain and draught and planting and harvest.  God has ordained it.

BUT....headlines like this should remind us all that when God does say, "Enough!", life could change very quickly for any and all of us!  We continue to cling to God's words that the world will stay very much as NORMAL until the Holy Spirit is withdrawn when Jesus comes for His bride.  When that happens destruction will come suddenly.

We are in far more trouble than most people realize.  In recent months, our rapidly growing economic problems have gotten a lot of attention, and without a doubt our economy is heading into really hard times.  

The greatest debt bubble in the history of the world has started to implode, and the end of this "mega-cycle" is going to cause an immense amount of pain.  But if every other element of our society was strong, we could survive that.  

It may surprise a lot of you to hear me say that, but it is true.  If all that we were facing was an economic collapse, it would cause an enormous amount of turmoil in this country but we would make it through.

Unfortunately, we are not just facing an economic collapse.

I like to call what we are facing "the everything collapse", because virtually every element of our society is steadily breaking down right in front of our eyes.

So once our economic and financial systems implode, it won't just be a matter of patching them up and returning to "normal", because "normal" doesn't exist anymore.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  The president of Giant Food just admitted to the Washington Post that theft at his stores is completely out of control...

Giant Food president Ira Kress said that theft and violence have risen significantly over the past several years.

"To say theft has risen tenfold in the last five years would not be an understatement," Kress noted, according to the Washington Post, which also reported that the man said that violence has "increased exponentially."

Giant has more than 160 locations, with stores located in Maryland; Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and Delaware, according to its website.

When I was much younger, I would often shop at Giant Food.

In those days, I never witnessed a single shoplifting incident.

But now systematic looting is happening on an industrial scale all over the nation.  In fact, I recently wrote an entire article about the fact that theft is now costing U.S. retailers about 100 billion dollars a year.

Meanwhile, other forms of crime are spiking as well.  Sadly, violent crimes are increasingly being committed by kids that are extremely young...

As soon as he confronted the masked youth who seemed to be trying to rob him with a gun last week on Irving Street in Northwest Washington, Ryan Cummins knew the assailant was young.

"When I shoved him, he weighed nothing," Cummins said in an interview...

Police said the youth they arrested on Saturday in Cummins's case and two nearby robberies is even younger: 11. He is among the youngest arrested in the District this year in an armed robbery...

Did you catch that last part?

That kid was "among the youngest" arrested for armed robbery this year.

So how old was the youngest?

On the west coast, conditions are even worse.

The following is how one San Francisco resident named Seema Gokhale recently described what living in the heart of the city is like these days...

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Seema Gokhale who lives near the city's Tenderloin neighborhood expressed, "It really feels post-apocalyptic. Something needs to be done. We have to make this a livable place. I describe it as a hellhole right now. If I wasn't a homeowner and hadn't grown up in the area and there wasn't a strong job market in the area, I would leave."

"I walk by people regularly and it feels horrible," she said as drug addicts have "needle tracks all over their arms and legs and toes. I see people with rotting limbs because they're living on the streets."

"It honestly feels like I'm in a place that's been in a zombie apocalypse. It's like a dystopia. It really feels like a dystopian reality right now where I see boarded-up storefronts. I see people defecating on the streets," Gokhale detailed.

Sadly, this is the direction that the entire country is going.

Up in Portland, voters are completely and totally fed up with the rampant social decay that has been steadily growing all around them...

Months of stepping past sidewalk homeless camps and open-air drug markets have taken their toll on residents of Portland, Oregon.

Voters there have delivered a stunning rebuke to officials of the Democrat-run hipster city, with three quarters calling homelessness 'an out-of-control disaster.'

The survey, commissioned by People for Portland, a conservative advocacy group, found that more than two thirds of voters wanted to clear the streets by forcing drug addicts into rehab.

But no matter what our politicians do, the social decay gets worse with each passing year.

And that is because our entire culture has been completely transformed.  According to one recent survey, only 16 percent of Americans now attend church at least once per week...

The number of Americans who attend church once a week fell from 19 percent in 2019 to 16 percent last year, says the survey of some 6,600 adults across all 50 states.

This means that 84 percent of us do not attend church at least once per week at this point.

If we could go back and tell Americans from 100 years ago this, they would be absolutely floored.

Of course the truth is that we are a completely different country than we were 100 years ago.

Many of us like to think that we are superior to every generation that has come before us, but the reality of the matter is that just about every aspect of our society is rapidly getting worse.

If we are having this much difficulty keeping order now, what are things going to look like once our economic and financial systems have fully imploded and tens of millions of Americans are deeply suffering?

You might want to think about that, because "the everything collapse" is only going to pick up steam in the weeks and months ahead...

Here;  It Isn't Just The Economy That Is On The Verge Of Collapse... (prophecynewswatch.com)

There has been much chatter about The Great Reset that the globalists are targeting for the year 2030.  If this has any merit, and I think it does, then 2023 is just 7 years away.  And we all know that the 70th Week of Daniel lasts for 7 years so let's not be surprised as the world turns more dark, more lawless, more delusional as the Day of the Lord draws ever closer.  Some like to tell me that we are on the verge of another great revival because of how dark it is getting, but we can't find that promise in scripture.  In fact we see the opposite happening.  

So let's continue to work while we have daylight because night is coming.  And night for the world means that we will be in glory with Christ!  Encourage each other with these words, says Paul.

Prophecy is Being Fulfilled Everywhere You Look

I encourage you to red the entire article but I posted one excerpt below.  It’s an exciting time to be alive because we are the generation who has seen the technology appear before our eyes that make the ruling of Antichrist a possibility.  We can see Israel firmly in The Land.  We can see lawlessness breaking out all over.  And we can see the apostasy happening at most churches across this land.  It’s the season of our Lords return.  As we say all the time, quoting Paul, encourage each other with these words.

***********************

Below is a list of the twelve signs pointing to the nearness of Jesus’ appearing:

1. The rebirth of Israel.
2. Third temple fever in Israel.
3. The four horses of Revelation 6:1-8.
4. The emergence of Digital currencies.
5. Digital health passports.
6. Mark of the Beast technology.
7. Transhumanism.
8. The soon arrival of One-World governance.
9. Worship of creation rather than the Creator.
10. Pole shift concerns that match prophecies in Revelation 6:12-17 and Isaiah 24:19-20.
11. Scoffing.
12. Perilous times on steroids.

All twelve of the above tell us that the Tribulation is ever so close and with it the Rapture of the church, which the Bible says will happen before it.

Concerning the soon arrival of the one-world government, author and speaker Pete Garcia aptly writes:

Finally, we can see the final beast system starting to take form. It is using the crisis of health and money to steer the world into a biometric digital currency that will one day be used to control all buying and selling on the planet. At this point, it’s becoming violently obvious as to where this is all heading. In fact, one would have to be intentionally ignorant of Bible prophecy to purposefully ignore what is happening and where it is headed (see Revelation 13:16-18). Even non-Christians are starting to identify much of this stuff as having prophetic importance.

Twenty-five years ago, it would’ve been impossible for the antichrist to control commerce in the world in the way that we read in Revelation 13:16-18. He would’ve needed a massive army of devotees to do so. Today, with the advances in Artificial Intelligence, gigantic databases, and 5G technology, it will soon be possible for one person to set the parameters of buying and selling for everyone in the world. By the midpoint of the Tribulation, he will be able to control buying and selling worldwide with the flip of a switch.

How can any believer not see the fulfillment of prophecy in this? The words of the book of Revelation are coming to life before our eyes.

HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THE DECEPTION THAT JESUS SAID WOULD MARK THE LAST DAYS?

When asked about the signs of the last days, Jesus’ first words were, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10, we again see lawlessness and deception as signs that would mark the appearance of the antichrist who can’t appear on the world scene before the Rapture.

How can we not recognize the deception of our day as the fulfillment of what Jesus warned about both directly and through the Apostle Paul? For those in the U.S. Biden administration, lying comes as easy as breathing.

The mainstream media anesthetizes people, and Christians, to the truth making them unable to recognize the dangers that lie at their doorstep. Despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary, the media still proclaims the deadly lie that the COVID vaccines are safe and effective. They are neither!

HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THE SOON ARRIVAL OF GOD’S WRATH UPON AMERICA?

We are living on borrowed time.

God is sovereign, but from our perspective we see His patience with a nation gone mad. He’s holding back the full explosion of evil and destruction that will happen at the beginning of the Day of the Lord.

Many expected the worldwide shortage of food to be much more severe by now. It seems strange to me that the war in Ukraine has not yet exploded into a much wider conflict with disastrous results. Years ago, many predicted that the U.S. economy was on the verge of a total collapse, but despite efforts to force such a scenario, it hasn’t yet happened.

God’s sovereign power and restraining hand is the only reason all these things haven’t occurred.

So yes, we are living on borrowed time in respect to God pouring out His wrath on the United States.

Pete Garcia, a former Major in the U.S. Army, conveys my thoughts a bit more directly:

It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that the cracks in the American pillars are so profound by now that something (or Someone) has been supernaturally sustaining the integrity of them.

How can people not recognize that the end of America is ever so close? Why is it that many of those sounding the alarm don’t believe the Bible or have any faith whatsoever in God? Some from this group see the dangers that a great many church leaders refuse to recognize.

The start of June signals a time of lewd displays of wickedness, which become viler and more disgusting each year. When one also considers the blood of innocents that flows from the abortion mills in America, one has to wonder how much longer before God says “enough!”
