Where are we on God’s prophecy time clock? How close are we to the Great Tribulation period?
Let’s take a look at the opening of the first three seals described in Revelation 6 and then compare them to current events of the day to see what we can glean.
Seal #1 ~ The White Horse That Goes Forth Conquering
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:1-2
Perhaps the most telling global event that indicates that this seal has been opened was the release from the Wuhan lab in China, of the Coronavirus into the world. This crushing pandemic brought nations to their knees, with national work lockdowns, mandatory masking, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders. We saw the closure of many small businesses, many of them never to open again. We saw the layoffs of employees in whole sectors of the economy, including the hotel, restaurant, and travel industries.
Hospitals followed the CDC protocol, and many people died in those hospitals as they were put on remdesivir and the ventilators, not even able to say goodbye to their loved ones. Truly this white horse went forth conquering the nations, the peoples, and the economies!
Is the COVID-19 pandemic connected to this White Horse?
Yes, I believe it is. The rider of the horse is wearing a crown. The name of the virus is “corona” virus, and corona means crown. The rider is carrying a bow. The word bow, in Greek, is “toxon”, very similar to the word, “Toxin”, or poison. Where are the arrows?
After the release of this engineered bio-weapon virus from the Wuhan lab, the global elites raced to develop a “vaccine”. This experimental use of “gene therapy” jab changes your DNA through mRNA Crisper technology and is delivered into the human body through an injection or jab. That, I believe, is the missing arrow. It is the jab.
According to World-o-meter, as of Sept 26, six and a half million people have died so far from the coronavirus COVID-19. Many millions more have died from the COVID-19 vaccine, days, weeks, or months later. Causes of death are all over the map: heart attack, myocarditis, stroke, cancer. It is hard to keep track of the numbers, because the death may occur weeks or months later. The injectable mRNA technology seems to attach to the weakest system in the person’s body. Others have had severe adverse reactions.
One big indicator that the jabs are causing deaths is this: there has been a huge spike in the number of life insurance claims in 2021. In 2021, Lincoln National Insurance company reported a 163% increase in death benefits paid out, with deaths up 40% among working people – this is unheard of.
There are now some life insurance companies who are suing the Big Pharma Giants who rolled out these vaccines because the jabs are NOT safe nor are they effective.
Now let’s look at the next seal: The Red Horse.
Seal #2 ~ The Red Horse ~ War in the Nations
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see. Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. Revelation 6:3-4
We have had two very significant things happen in the news this very week that shows us that we are trending in the direction of seal #2: the War Horse.
Russia/Ukraine war is escalating
The simmering pot is now boiling over. The Russia-Ukraine war is no longer just between Russia and Ukraine but is widening and threatening to become a global World War.
Putin warns West: Threat to resort to nuclear weapons ‘not a bluff’
Just last week, Putin made a speech and in it he said the following:
Nuclear blackmail has also been used. We are talking not only about the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant – encouraged by the west – which threatens to cause a nuclear catastrophe, but also about statements from senior representatives of Nato countries about the possibility and permissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia: nuclear weapons.
I would like to remind those who make such statements about Russia that our country also possesses various means of destruction, and in some cases they are more modern than those of Nato countries. When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we, of course, will use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people.
This is not a bluff. And those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the weathervane can turn and point towards them.
And we have a second very significant item in the news this week, another “siting”, if you will, of the Red Horse of war.
Iran Admitted to the Shanghai Coalition Organization
The Jerusalem Post recently posted this news headline:
Iran joining China-Russia SCO group is challenge to US world order – analysis
(Jerusalem Post) Iran signed a memorandum to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a grouping that includes Russia, China and a number of Central Asian states that have grown in recent years as Turkey, Iran, India and many others have played a role.
This means that a new group of rising industrial powers is seeking to work together without the West. This takes the form of challenging the US-led world order and both Russia and China are clear that they want to upend the US role in the world. As such, Iran’s joining of the SCO is an important milestone. It is symbolic but it has real implications.
Iran has been trying to get into the SCO for the past 15 years. They were admitted into this alliance just this past week. That is very significant. Have a look at the next news story:
Putin celebrates Iran joining Asian security alliance including China
(MSN.com) “We are very happy about this,” Putin told Iranian leader Ebrahim Raisi on the sidelines of the SCO summit, according to TASS, a Russian state media outlet. “As we agreed with you, we have done everything for Iran to become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
And finally, have a look at this next news headline to see where this is going:
Russia, China moving closer to formal alliance as world inches closer to global war–
(Natural News) During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and China were both communist countries, but they were not at all allied.
In fact, the two countries had more than 100 divisions of troops, combined, stationed along their common border and even fought several border clashes.
But that was then. Today, after Russian President Vladimir Putin was heavily sanctioned by the West for invading Ukraine, China — which also has revisionist designs on the global order — has moved closer to its former Communist foe in a bid to create a multipolar world once again.
To that end, Putin met with Chinese President Xi Jinping recently at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Uzbekistan, where he told Putin Beijing is “ready to team up” with Moscow, according to Great Game India.
The West’s “attempts to create a unipolar world have recently taken on an absolutely ugly shape and are absolutely unacceptable to the vast majority of nations on the planet,” the Russian leader told Xi, according to a state media translation. Putin also said such attempts were “absolutely unacceptable to the vast majority of nations on the planet,” he added.
It is prophesied in the bible that a coalition of nations from the north, led by the “King of the Medes” would attack and take down the end of days daughter of Babylon nation:
Sharpen the arrows! Lift up the shields!
For the LORD has inspired the kings of the Medes
to march against Babylon and destroy her. This is his vengeance
against those who desecrated his Temple.
Jeremiah 51:11
Bring against her the armies of the nations—
led by the kings of the Medes
and all their captains and officers. Jeremiah 51:28
Ancient Medo-Persia is Modern-day Iran. That is why it is so significant that we see that Iran has now joined the SCO coalition along with China and Russia.
Cyrus, the King of Persia attacked Babylon in 539 bc and Babylon fell. He then decreed that the Jews could return home to Israel. Their 70-year exile was OVER!
There is a time coming when the modern-day Medes will attack modern-day Babylon, and take it down. When that happens, the exile of YHVH’s people will be OVER. We will return HOME to Israel, as it is written in Jeremiah:
“In those days and in that time,” says the LORD,
“The children of Israel shall come,
They and the children of Judah together;
With continual weeping they shall come,
And seek the LORD their God. Jer. 50:4-5
They shall ask the way to Zion, With their faces toward it, saying
‘Come and let us join ourselves to the LORD
In a perpetual covenant that will not be forgotten.’ Jer. 50:4-5
You who have escaped the sword,
Get away! Do not stand still!
Remember the LORD afar off,
And let Jerusalem come to your mind. Jeremiah 51:50
I beliieve the Red Horse of War is now galloping among the nations.
Now let’s look at the next seal: The Black Horse.
Seal #3 – The Black Horse – Scarcity on the Earth, Global Economic Collapse
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius,and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6: 5-6
We have a “perfect storm” that is now upon us. On one storm front we have this:
Europe imposing Sanctions on Russia has Backfired
Europe imposed sanctions on Russia to put pressure on Russia to end the war with Ukraine. In doing this, they shot themselves in the foot. Russia turned off the natural gas to Europe through the Nord Stream pipeline. Instead, they are selling that natural gas to China at a 100% profit. And what has happened in Europe? Energy bills are now up by 1000%.
Energy is what makes the economy run. And without cheap affordable energy, the economy collapses. It seems that Russia has “conquered” Europe without a single shot fired…all they had to do was turn off the energy pipeline.
Europe is collapsing, and it’s just the first domino of many to fall
The European Union (EU) is rupturing at the seams due to a variety of factors, including the ongoing and escalating energy crisis.
European nations are not in agreement about how to deal with the problem, let alone how to move forward. Contentions abound as Russian oil and gas runs dry in Germany, the EU’s economic powerhouse.
The “unity” that the EU was supposedly created to foster has become rampant disunity, with mass chaos as the inevitable outcome.
Germany is doubling down on sanctions against Russia, which is killing its own economy at breakneck speed. This is spilling over into other countries like Poland, which is fed up with the situation.
As we reported, German businesses are shutting down because they simply cannot afford to pay energy bills that are 10 times higher than last year. How can any economy survive such increases?
Italy is also in the throes of turmoil as it grapples with insurmountable debt that reports indicate are forcing the country to make difficult and undesirable decisions.
“The deterioration of the global economy, together with EU policies, now threatens industry and living standards in EU member states, reduces the scope of joint economic support, and forces member states to rapidly evaluate their readiness for possibly radical reductions in their political self-determination,” writes Tuomas Malinen for The Epoch Times.
As we watch the economic dominoes falling in Europe, and the energy prices spike to the point that steel factories and other industries can’t afford to pay for the energy bill to stay in business, it is only a matter of time before this economic downtown affects the USA and other nations around the globe.
On another storm front we have alarming inflation in the nations:
Inflation is crushing our way of life
Inflation Costing Average American Family $11,500 This Year – ZeroHedge
Americans are set to fork out an extra $11,500 this year if they want to enjoy the same standard of living they maintained in 2020, according to new estimates from NerdWallet.
As of August, inflation in the United States stands at 8.3 percent, according to data from BLS.
“In all of 2020, American households spent $61,300, on average,” according to analysts.
“This number includes everything we spend our money on: housing, food, entertainment, clothing, transportation, and everything else.”
“In 2022, it stands to reach $72,900, a difference of more than $11,500 if consumers want to maintain the same standard of living,” they wrote.
I believe we are living in the time of these seals. The seals have been broken, and the scroll of events associated to each seal is being rolled out as we see the events unfolding. Truly, we are close to the return of our Messiah Yeshua.
The facts on the ground seem to indicate that this third seal has been opened and the black horse is now riding out among the nations.
Imminent Return of Yeshua
We are getting closer and closer to the imminent return of the Messiah.
“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28
And let us remember to ASK the way to ZION!
And let Jerusalem come to our mind!
