Drugging up for Tribulation
One of the strongest indicators of the approach of the Tribulation can be found in looking at things going on today through the prism of the following Scripture:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. (Revelation 9:21)
A single element is most often found at the center of these wicked activities today. The ignition point of these things God says people won’t repent of, seems to me, is wrapped up in the word “sorceries.”
The word “sorcery” is translated from the Greek pharmakeia (Strong’s G5331, KJV). The definition includes, as part of its scope of evil, the matter of witchcraft. It is used in God’s prophetic Word as reason for destruction of that city of global influence—the city and the worldwide system called “Babylon the Great”:
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation 18:23)
The most profound evil of this great city and its global influence is found in the condemnation: “for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
Can we agree that deception permeates every aspect of our society and culture today here in America? And can we agree that the fact that we derive the word for “drugs” from pharmakeia lends credence to the charge that this nation is at the center of the stage being set for the Tribulation to come?
Our borders have been leveraged fully open at our southern most parts. The drugs are pouring through the openings by carriers, many of whom are drug cartel members involved in human trafficking and even trafficking of children for sexual wickedness.
Our nation, through an explosive illegal drug eruption, is deceiving the world with its transport capability to infuse many people with mind-altering drugs. Through America’s “sorceries,” “all nations [are] deceived.”
One writer of interest observed:
We are not now in the 7-year Tribulation Period. But again, many present-day developments are already setting the stage for Daniel’s 70th week. Cartoons, TV shows, movies, and books (ex: Harry Potter) are laying the foundation for a world deceived by the occult. Cannabis, ketamine, speed and other so-called “soft drugs” are becoming mainstream. The world is being conditioned to accept that which the Lord clearly forbids. This includes the widespread use of (experimental) drugs. (“The Rich and their Pharmakeia,” Thomas, R. L., 1995, Revelation 8–22: An Exegetical Commentary, Chicago: Moody Press)
Even more concerning than our nation infecting the entire world with our sorceries and all of the other evils Revelation warns will bring devastating judgment are the effects the drug madness is inflicting here at home:
A Fairfield father says that a federally funded health clinic operating within Lawrence High School provided his minor daughter with a baggy of prescription anti-depressants without his knowledge or consent.
When the girl’s father, Eric Sack, discovered the baggy of pills over the weekend, his daughter told him that it was provided to her by the Bulldog Health Center, a School Based Health Center (SBHC) at Lawrence High School.
Sack saw the pills as an infringement on his parental rights, but he was also concerned that the school’s clinic sent unlabeled drugs with no child-resistant container into his home, where his two other younger children also live…
Sack pulled his daughter out of the public school this week to make her appointments with a doctor and a therapist.
“I’m looking out for the best interests of my daughter. That’s why I pulled her out of school,” said Sack. “Because I don’t think she really ought to be there if they’re going to start giving her pills, you know? Until I sit down with a doctor that I pick for my daughter, not through the school.”…
On Thursday, an agent from Child Protective Services (CPS) called Sack and informed him that he would be arriving shortly to make a surprise visit to his home to conduct a child welfare investigation…
“They called and said it was an emergency situation at my house, that I was pretty near holding my daughter hostage, is what the gentleman that came yesterday told me,” Sack said.
“He had information that only the school and Bulldog Health Center had,” he said.
For three hours, CPS Agent Dylan Wood grilled Sack and his family individually and as a group, including asking questions about Sack’s firearms and where he keeps them. (“Maine Dad Says High School Clinic Sent 17-Year-Old Daughter Home with Secret Baggy of Zoloft, Sicced Child Protective Services on Him for Complaining,” Steve Robinson, The Maine Wire, RR News, September 28, 2023)
The above deception by secretly sending this girl home with drugs is bad enough, but stories abound of fentanyl being made available in various forms, and that is the even deadlier form of evil being perpetrated by the drug lords. Thousands of young people and children are dying so the wicked merchants of earth can make their millions and even billions of dollars.
All of this is preparing the stage for the coming of Antichrist’s regime and all-out satanic assault upon the people left behind to go through that horrendous era called Daniel’s seventieth week and the Tribulation.
You don’t want to be here during the time Jesus said will be the worst of all human history. Here is how to avoid being trapped on this drug-saturated, judgment-bound planet when the Rapture occurs:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
Bad News, Good News, Best News!
Each day I receive emails—sometimes many—that lament the times we’re in. These include most often the question of how much longer the terrible things going on—the stage being set for the Tribulation—will be allowed to continue. That is, how long will it be before Christ calls believers to Himself in the Rapture?
Many pin their hopes on Old Testament, Jewish holy days and traditions. When these don’t produce the Rapture, they can become quite downhearted. This, despite the fact that some excellent people these days who write and speak on things like the Feast of Trumpets make it clear that these could be times for the Rapture, but that the Rapture won’t necessarily be tied to any such event. These folks, whom I respect greatly, give these Jewish points of interest as showing just how close we must be to God bringing all things to a conclusion. They point to how near the Tribulation and Second Advent of Christ must be, saying we must be even closer the time of the pre-Trib Rapture.
Still some are dejected when these Jewish tradition dates pass and the Rapture hasn’t occurred. It is perceived in such cases as bad news.
And the bad news compiles one report upon another, adding to the sometimes fear-filled angst. The cries grow even louder: When will the Lord get us out of here?!
I suppose this is one way of “looking up” and “watching” as Jesus commanded (Luke 21:28 and Mark 13:37). But it isn’t a healthy “looking up” or “watching,” in terms of maintaining good and proper spiritual health.
And the bad news is indeed daunting. Some of the headlines found most recently in Rapture Ready News are fodder for that angst many Rapture Ready folks are expressing to me.
The Bad News
I Live in Sodom and You Live in Gomorrah
If the Lord were to visit Washington DC, he would find that there were not 50 righteous men, there were not 40 righteous men, not 30, not 20, not even 10 righteous men and just like Sodom and Gomorrah, we will surely be destroyed.

In Five Years AI Could Be So Advanced It Would Mean the “end of human-dominated history.” Yuval Noah Harari Says
Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of Google DeepMind, and Yuval Noah Harari discussed how advanced AI will be in five years. After hearing Suleyman’s predictions, Harari said: “This is the end of human history. Not the end of history—the end of human-dominated history.” In other words, humans will no longer be the dominant life force on Earth as we have been since time began.

I could have found much worse news had I wanted to take the time. These are just from one day’s news cycle from Raptureready.com.
Within my own concerns are the growing, satanically inspired assaults on children. I ask myself—as do many others so concerned: How long will this be allowed to continue before God says “Enough!”?
End-times Enlightenment
I believe the messenger who gave Daniel the instruction to “close up the book until the time of the end” was speaking of believers during our present day. We are to be the “wise” who are to “understand” the things taking place that signify the consummation of the age.
Unlike Daniel, who no doubt was for a brief moment disappointed that he would not be allowed to know how things would play out prophetically, we who are living in this late hour of the Age of Grace should joyfully embrace Jesus’ Words: “When you see all these things begin to come to pass…”.
Indeed, we have for quite some time seen these things begin to come to pass. The end-times markers are absolutely stunning in many cases. Those who are watching cannot miss the Good News!
The Good News
My great friend and mentor, the late Dr. Tim LaHaye, in asking different people to participate in writing commentary for the Bible whose publisher he reluctantly allowed to use his name as its title—The Tim LaHaye Prophecy Bible—asked me to write briefly on a particular verse. I believe that, in regard to Christians looking at the future in a healthy way rather than in an unhealthy way filled with fear, the passage I recall being assigned is close to being the perfect perspective from God’s Holy Word:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
This verse is all-encompassing, if we truly consider its meaning.
It tells us that, no matter what, everything we see of an evil nature will ultimately turn out to be used by our God in a way to benefit us. There is no need to worry. Our job is to fulfill the purpose He has assigned each of us.
As the late Charles Stanley always put it: “Obey God no matter what, and leave all the consequences to Him.”
The Best News
The best news, second only to the Good News of the Gospel itself, is that Jesus has promised the Rapture for which we are all prayerfully wishing. Again, His promise is the following:
And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)
End-times Enlightenment
The prophet Daniel would have been amazed at what we see happening all around us today. His question must have burned in the deepest part of his spirit while he appealed to the messenger who had just spoken about the end of all things:
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? (Daniel 12:7–8)
Daniel, after being given so much to take in from the messenger-angel from Heaven, must have been bursting with desire to know the outcome of humanity’s plight. He must have been especially wanting to know the details of what would become of his own people, Israel. The angel was permitted only to say the following in answer to the great, old prophet’s question:
Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Daniel 12:9–10)
I believe this generation is in the time the angel was speaking of in telling Daniel that the “wise shall understand.” We who “watch,” according to Jesus’ commandment (Mark 13: 37) are literally deluged with signal after signal of the lateness of the prophetic hour. We continually present from the hourly news accounts all of the signs Jesus told us to watch for.
We certainly can identify those the angel spoke about with the words, “the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand.” That group is easily identifiable just within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) meetings last week. And we can also be identified today with the angel’s words, “but the wise shall understand.”
The following explanation, I hope, will make the distinction between the wicked and the wise crystal clear, and will help determine whether we are the generation the angel said will be here when that end-times book is opened.
This past week, I was told that my friend Tom Cote (“Watchman River Tom”), a first-rate biblical prophecy observer, had what he called one of the best moments of his life. He said that many fellow prophecy watchers who read these columns and view podcasts were apparently experiencing the same amazing thing. He said he saw you in action on the UN’s live video feed on YouTube.
That forum has almost three million subscribers. Tom reported that the video of the SDG summit had a lot of red lights. Then something happened in the accompanying chat that amazed. Tom reported that it was, to his way of thinking, like a live wall of Jesus that manifested. It was incredible, he said.
The live chat was full of born-again believers—the Body of Christ. Tom said he was watching 2 Thessalonians 2:7–8—“He who now restrains”—in action: He felt as if he were watching the Restrainer restrain.
He reported that the comments were “Jesus is King”; “We love Jesus”; “When they say peace and safety sudden destruction comes”; and “Jesus has won the victory.”
It was—of all things—a sea of “Jesus” comments on a forum designed for the New World Order minions! He said that about 98 percent of the comments were about Jesus. He reported that occasionally someone obviously a part of the UN Great Reset agglomeration would come on and say things like, “What is going on here?” Again, Tom says it was an incredible moment.
There was confusion among the Ephesians 6:12 minions (my comment, not his).
There are indeed incredible things happening—both in regard to the stage being set for prophecy to be fulfilled and amongst those who yearn for our Lord’s call in the Rapture.
I believe with all within my spirit that those who truly are watching, according to Mark 13:37, Luke 21:28, Titus 2:13, and other scriptural instructions, can see more clearly how near we are to that call. Each moment-by-moment unveiling of the issues and events speaks into our spiritual hearts: “Your Redeemer is drawing near.”
It is more than obvious that those who “watch” are receiving end-times enlightenment. The Holy Spirit is, I believe, giving the heavenly heads-up that Jesus is about to step out on the clouds of glory and say, as He said to John, “Come up here!” (Revelation 4: 1).
You don’t want to miss that thrilling command by the Lord of all Creation, who died as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world to save us from the sin into which we were born so that you and I could live eternally in the presence of God.
Here is how to go to the Savior when He calls in that great event we know as the Rapture:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
