A number of reports coming across my research in the sudden seeming collapse of US and world economic conditions, make it clear that, now, the long-feared disaster has begun. There would be no stopping the total collapse from happening, although it might take some time coming.
This continues to be the conclusion by even some folks who look at such matters through the prism of Bible prophecy. This collapse will bring on the globalists’ desire to begin instituting the Great Reset that’s been long desired by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF) sorts. This means the Tribulation is about to begin, or maybe has begun.
We can next expect the beginning of the fulfillment of all Bible prophecy. That includes the Antichrist’s rise to power and Israel being assaulted. This will result in the catastrophes outlined throughout the book of Revelation.
Agreed. When the Tribulation begins, the severity of God’s judgment and wrath will increase in intensity, and the planet will reel from the resulting carnage. Antichrist will more or less rule for a time, and Israel will become the object of Satan’s full-scale wickedness as he strives to destroy God’s chosen nation.
We see developments toward the rise of Satan’s man of sin each and every news cycle. The WEF and others of that organization’s ilk are making great strides toward constructing the New World Order long advocated by one-world architects such as the now-deceased David Rockefeller. As a matter of fact, that progress was so aggressively pursued that I believe they were getting ahead of God’s governance. That is, they exceeded their allowed evil progression—at least time-wise.
And that’s why I titled this commentary “Restraint, Derision, then Catastrophism.”
My thinking on all this involves the American political left. That is the ideology–perhaps better stated, the “theology”—of the extreme left on the political spectrum of America and the world.
It is indeed a theological drive toward removing God’s supremacy and installing the luciferian authority embraced by these people and their activities. Each political nuance pursued by that fanatic element is focused on evil continually. That is, the adherents to the woke insanity, for example, accept every form of wickedness God’s Word says goes against His holiness and His will for humankind. God has thus given them over to the “reprobate mind” of Romans 1:28.
I maintain that the evil coming from the leftist ideology/theology has just been handed an astounding restraint by the backhand of the Lord of Heaven and earth. Rather than the sudden downward plunge by the stock markets of America, Japan, and the world being used by the WEF to create conditions to further their Great Reset ambitions (as I’m convinced was intended), God used that contrived event to heap derision upon, in particular, those on the American political left. The stock market’s dramatic fall starkly pointed out the abysmal way the current presidential administration has detrimentally afflicted this nation—and thereby the entire world, because the rest of the world economies are so intricately linked to that of the US.
This, and the chaos created within the party of the anti-God left by apparently choosing totally woke candidates for the 2024 presidential election, in my opinion, is God’s hand of restraint and fulfillment of His Psalm chapter 2 promise of “laughing to derision” those who would put their power above the supremacy of God. That was the huge mistake Lucifer made when he looked into that mirror of iniquity and said his “I wills” (Isaiah 14:14).
And this is to in no way say I believe this means one party will prevail over another in the upcoming election. We should pray and vote as God gives light to the believing mind–the spirit within.
With everything that’s happening in every direction on the end-times landscape, our primary focus should be as Jesus Himself commanded:
And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near. (Luke 21:28)
God’s restraining hand will be on this world as long as believers of this age are on the earth. When Jesus calls all of God’s family to be with Him upon the clouds of Glory, all will come crashing down–including the economy that has been miraculously kept from total collapse, as predicted for two decades or more.
Catastrophism—the complete disruption of things as usual upon the earth—will then be the result of humanity’s rebellion and the embrace of Satan’s Antichrist counterfeit. That rejection of God will bring judgment and wrath the likes of which Jesus said will be the worst of all human history (Matthew 24:21).
You don’t want to be here when Antichrist rules and God’s judgment and wrath begin to fall on the rebels of this world. Here is how to go to the safety found only in Jesus Christ when He calls all believers to Himself in the Rapture:
That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)

The muddled mentality of the left is more profound than that of someone under the influence of drugs. To the other addicts around them, nothing seems out of sorts. To a sober person, it is clear that these people are just not acting rationally. This is the situation we have with the “Wokesters” who will do anything to stay in power, which is essentially their drug of choice.
Everything would have already collapsed years ago if God’ restraining Spirit wasn’t actively hold it back. Pretty soon it will be gone – and so will we!
Whoever ends up in the White House will show us if we are to have another reprieve or if time has indeed run out for America and the rest of the world. However, we must all realize that only God can save us – and then, only if we ask him to do just that.
As far as I can see, we can only expect individual rescue now. The time is long past for this world to be saved as a whole and this was never part of the plan anyway. For believers, our citizenship is not of this world but of God’s heavenly kingdom.
We must realize that our hope is from above, not from down here.
AMEN ✝️🎯
Thanks, Robin!
An “Amen” to that! Thank you, my brother. God bless.
You are welcome, and thank you for your kind words.
I would appreciate some clarity on the importance of the USA in end times. How does it matter who wins the next election and how perverse the USA becomes? The antichrist isn’t coming from the USA. From which country will he be elected? Also, I would appreciate clarity on the terms of “ the Rapture “ and “ The Second Coming” – sometimes they seem to be used interchangeably.
Thank you so much for all of your teaching.
I presume you wish to continue to live in a free nation where you can worship as you please and enjoy other things a free people enjoy.
We don’t know when the Rapture will happen, so we should pursue a course that preserves our rights under a Constitution provided by our founding fathers under God’s Guidance.
That’s why we need to be concerned about the electoral process and free elections.
The antichrist will come out of Europe –out of the people that destroyed the city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (the Jewish temple) in AD 70 This was predicted by Daniel in Daniel 9: 27. These people came from the Roman Empire. So, Antichrist will come from a nation and city that was in the Roman Empire at the time of the destruction of that Temple.The Rapture occurs before the time of the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week Daniel 9: 27) We know this because we are told that believers of the Church Age will be kept from the very hour of that time of “testing” (Revelation 3: 10)
That 7 years of Tribulation runs the entire time outlined in Revelation from John’s being called into Heaven –symbolic of the Rapture of the Church (Revelation 4: 1). The Church (all born again believers) is mentioned 19 times in Revelation the first 3 chapters. The church isn’t mentioned again until Revelation 19: 11, when the saints Return to earth at Armageddon to defeat Antichrist and the armies of the world. This is because these Church Age saints were Raptured at the beginning –before the opening of the seals in chapter 6 of Revelation.
Thank you.
I will vote, as I have voted in the past, but I am not convinced that my vote actually counts…….it gets lost around 3 am! We’ll see if it happens again this November! Either way, God is in control and He holds our future.
I appreciate your comments on “ the saints returning to earth at Armageddon to defeat the antichrist” – that is an unfamiliar understanding of scripture for me. I’ll have to explore it.
Thank you again for making your teaching available to us.
(Please bear in mind from the outset that these are just a views from a non-expert!)
I think that America’s role in the End Times is not so much one of its existing, but the vacuum that is left behind when it is gone. Something will have to fill it and I think the Global Empire will be it, because, despite the weakening the last four years have brought us, we are still its major obstacle.
In order for the Globalist order to succeed, America has to cease as we know it. This can happen any number of ways, but I believe the Rapture will be the primary cause. As messed up as we are right now, I believe there are enough believers left so that their sudden disappearance will have a disastrous effect on the fabric of our society – enough to weaken the U.S. enough that our enemies will move right in. In my view, the early stages of this has already begun and it will go into warp drive once a significant number of our population suddenly vanishes.
Of course, Christians will also disappear across the planet and the ensuing chaos will cause those left behind to look for an “Answer Man” to come up with a way to re-establish order, just as the Germans found theirs in Adolf Hitler in the last century, that country being decimated at every level after World War 1. This will be the perfect setting for the “man of sin” to come forth and be that “Answer Man.”
I believe he will come from somewhere within the borders of the ancient Roman Empire, an area very much paralleled by the European Union, and the much less publicized Mediterranean Union – not the U.S. as you correctly pointed out.
As for the Rapture and Second Coming. Yes, sometimes these are incorrectly identified as the same thing but they are not. Briefly, the Rapture comes totally unpredictable with no prophetic preconditions required. Jesus calls his saints, i.e. believers, off-world to meet him in the clouds. Those left behind will be clueless as to what has happened. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 5:2)
The Second Coming occurs at the end of the Seven Year Tribulation and will be visible and unmistakable to the whole world. As you can see, these clear and obvious things must happen first. (Matthew 24:27). The believers from all the ages will be with him as well (Psalm 149; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:14)
The quickest way I’ve heard experts express the difference is that at the Rapture, Jesus comes FOR his saints. At the Second Coming, he comes back WITH his saints.
I hope you find these reflections useful – and, by all means, keep asking those excellent questions.
I fully agree on that which Ed Wood wrote above. I personally marvel at the speed all is happening, but we have the living HOPE of the Rapture and that is a wonderful blessing, because God’s Word is clear. And that’s enough for me and for those who eagerly wait for it!
Thanks, Cornelius.
I, too, am amazed at just how fast things are moving now – and in the wrong direction, totally away from God. Of course, this is how the Bible tells us these Last Days must be, but to be witnessing it in real time is mind-boggling.
What it also tells us is how soon our deliverance also must be (Luke 21:28) and this is the only thing that gives me hope in this otherwise hopeless world.
