Here are two articles that I’d like to share below. Both pertaining to the signs of the times and how close we are in these last days heading towards the PRE-tribulation rapture and after that, the Time of Jacbo’s/Israel’s Trouble (7 year Tribulation). Keep watching and looking up!!! We are almost there!!

First up….

How Global Instability Is Preparing The Stage For Prophetic Alignment

Time magazine’s assessment of the top global risks for 2026 reveals a world accelerating toward systemic instability. As nations fracture and fear deepens, the world will increasingly demand order at any cost signaling conditions for the final prophetic alignment described in scripture.

Time magazine’s recent examination of the Top 10 Global Risks for 2026 reads less like speculative futurism and more like a warning flare fired into a darkening sky. Its conclusion is stark: the world is accelerating toward systemic instability on nearly every front. Political upheaval, technological dominance, economic coercion, and the weaponization of resources are no longer hypothetical dangers. They are operational realities–already shaping how nations act, how markets move, and how populations are governed.

For secular analysts, this is a story about risk management. For Christians who take Bible prophecy seriously, it is something far more sobering. It looks like alignment.

Time’s assessment paints a picture of a world fraying simultaneously at multiple pressure points. Governments are weakening or polarizing, trust in institutions is collapsing, economic systems are increasingly used as weapons, and emerging technologies are consolidating unprecedented power in the hands of a few. Add to this intensifying wars, cyber conflict, energy insecurity, and looming resource shortages–especially water–and you have a global environment primed not for stability, but for desperation.

And desperation is where dangerous solutions are born.

Scripture has long warned that global chaos would precede the rise of a deceptive world leader–one who promises peace, order, and security, but delivers bondage and destruction. The book of Revelation does not describe the Antichrist emerging in a world of calm and contentment. He rises in a world exhausted by conflict, fractured by fear, and desperate for someone–anyone–who can make the pain stop.

Time’s conclusion that instability is accelerating “on nearly every front” echoes the words of Jesus Himself. In Matthew 24:6-8, Christ warned His disciples that before the end, the world would experience wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, famines, and upheaval–what He called “the beginning of birth pains.” Birth pains are not random; they intensify, converge, and signal that something inevitable is approaching.

What makes this moment unique is not just the presence of chaos, but the infrastructure now forming to manage it.

Political instability is conditioning the world to accept centralized authority. As nation-states struggle to govern fractured populations, the appeal of a unifying global figure grows stronger. Sovereignty becomes an obstacle rather than a safeguard. In times of fear, people trade freedom for promises of security–and often do so willingly.

Economic crises play a critical role in this conditioning. Time highlights economic coercion as a rising global risk, and we already see how financial systems are used to punish dissenting nations, individuals, and even ideologies. Revelation 13 describes a future system in which buying and selling are controlled–where economic participation itself becomes a tool of obedience. A cashless, digitized, globally integrated economy is no longer futuristic. It is nearly complete.

Technology may be the most powerful accelerant of all. AI-mediated reality, information control, and algorithmic influence shape what people see, believe, and fear. Truth becomes malleable. Deception becomes scalable. Revelation warns of “lying signs and wonders,” but deception in the modern age does not require miracles–it requires control of information, perception, and digital identity. Global tech dominance makes mass deception not only possible, but efficient.

Then there is resource weaponization. Competition over energy, food, and water is intensifying, just as Scripture foretold scarcity and famine as hallmarks of the end times. Control resources, and you control populations. Centralize resource distribution, and centralized power becomes “necessary.” Again, the world will not resist this–it will demand it.

Out of this convergence–political chaos, economic fear, technological dominance, and resource scarcity–emerges the perfect environment for a global leader who appears reasonable, competent, and compassionate. He will not arrive as a villain. He will arrive as a savior. He will speak of peace, unity, and solutions. And the world, exhausted by instability, will love him for it.

This is precisely the deception Revelation warns about.

A global leader requires a global system: a unified economy, a shared ideological or spiritual framework, and technological tools capable of enforcing compliance. What once seemed impossible now looks inevitable. The world is being conditioned–step by step–for centralized authority, diminished sovereignty, and mass deception.

These developments are not random. They are alignment indicators.

Time magazine may frame these risks in secular terms, but Scripture gives them eternal context. The acceleration toward instability is not just a geopolitical concern–it is a prophetic signal. We are watching the stage being set, not by conspiracy, but by human response to fear and chaos.

For believers, this is not a call to panic, but to discernment. Jesus warned His followers in advance so they would not be deceived. As the world demands order at any cost, Christians must remember that true peace does not come from global systems or charismatic leaders, but from Christ alone.

The birth pains are intensifying. And history tells us that when the world cries out loud enough for order, someone will answer. The question is not whether that moment is coming–but whether we will recognize it when it arrives.

Next up:

Just a small disclaimer to this.

I stopped sharing too many of Leo’s articles because most people get upset. They have not looked into or studied about the dark globalist elites who work for those dark evil spiritual powers behind the scenes. Some just don’t have the time to do so and just stick to the main line that we have all been groomed for and I do get that. So, when he talks of how a lot of things within EVERY single government on this planet are convoluted and deliberately devised for the goal (a new Tower of Babel if you will) people automatically assume he is anti whatever when he really is not. Just to add, I don’t always agree 100% with him on all things but, I do on a lot. Anyway, when it is all said and done and Jesus is back, all the division and name and blame game will be over and things for all of us will be made crystal clear as to the what, whys and, hows of it all. I can’t wait for that day.

Now, that said, I’m sharing this article mainly because of this part right below. A KEY snip. For the full article click the title headline to go to his site. This is what I watch as it pertains to the start of the final 7 years (The Time of Jacob’s/ Israeli’s Trouble) and the PRE-tribulation rapture. So read just this clip at least if you don’t want to read the rest. Also, TODAY is the BEST day for your salvation if you have been putting Jesus’ FREE gift of it to you!!!

War fever is building for another Middle East regime-change operation but what are the potential outcomes for Iran, the region and the world?

THE ARTICLE SNIP:

As bad as this first scenario sounds, the second one is much worse.

The second scenario is that the U.S. and Israel team up to wage a more full-scale war against Iran. Israel itself is not capable of this, as they don’t have the manpower as a tiny nation of less than 10 million people. Iran has more than 93 million people. Iran also has a vast missile arsenal that in the 12-day war of June 2025 proved formidable at evading Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome.

While it was not widely reported at the time, it was not Iran who was losing that war, it was Israel. That’s why Trump stepped in to stop it. Israel was running out of Patriot missile interceptors and Iran still had hundreds, if not thousands, of missiles left in its arsenal. There is some speculation that Israel’s newly deployed Iron Beam defensive shield is fully operational and may be able to fill in the gaps that exist in the Patriot Missile System. If that is indeed the case, Israel’s new laser-beam defense system is going to get an early test of its effectiveness.

The danger in this second scenario is that the war spreads beyond just Iran, Israel and the U.S., and that Russia, China and North Korea get involved. This means we will live through World War III and all bets are off that it will not go nuclear.

I shudder to think what life will be like if that happens because it will mean war coming to U.S. soil. That may be in the form of Islamic terror cells being activated, but it may also involve direct military engagement with the Russians and Chinese and North Koreans – missiles scoring direct hits on U.S. cities. Utilities, bridges and other infrastructure being knocked out. Are Americans ready for that?

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on January 14 warning Donald Trump and the United States of America.

“Those who plan to use externally inspired unrest as a pretext for repeating the aggression against Iran committed in June 2025 must be aware of the disastrous consequences of such actions for the situation in the Middle East and global international security,” the statement read, as reported by The Times of Russia.

Military experts I trust, men like Col. Douglas McGregor and the late great Dr. Peter Pry, have said the United States is not positioned to fight a world war on several fronts. It’s better positioned for short, in-and-out operations carried out by special forces. Not the grind-it-out war of attrition like we’ve seen in Ukraine.

NOW, just like in my previous Happy New Year blog post…

“It is proving that it could very well be “when the bombs start to fall down then we go up” kind of scenario that *many believer’s dreams and visions have revealed* after all. Including my own.”

As a friend of mine wrote….
BIBLE PROPHECY IS HAPPENING NOW!!!

People ask me all the time; “Why do you worry about all that prophecy stuff?!” I can’t seem to get it across to them that I’m not worried! I’m excited that Jesus is about to return, I’m fascinated at how much the Headlines read like a page from Bible Prophecy, but I’m not worried people!

Maybe the truth is that they‘re worried. They’re worried that we’re right! BIBLE PROPHECY IS HAPPENING NOW; but if you have Jesus, there’s more peace in your soul, than in acres of diamonds and mountains of gold…

And, to add to what he said above….

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. ~ 2 Timothy 4:7-9

I know, the watch can be exhausting but hold on because….
