From Your Dictionary: Catastrophism definition: The prediction or expectation of cataclysmic upheaval, as in political or social developments. https://www.yourdictionary.com › catastrophism

There is a phenomenal build-up toward something fearful that permeates the human psyche. Even though much of the world, particularly here in the United States, is totally oblivious, the build-up is sensed by anyone and everyone who thinks outside of their self-orbit, their incremental, moment-by-moment existence.

The expressed thinking verbalized by many might take the form of “The world has gone crazy.” Or “This is completely insane.” However, the frustration is framed, evidence that induces such frustration is in every direction one looks at this present moment.

I’m convinced that this growing world-wide angst is generated by and inspired by the scheming of such would-be world rulers, as found within the World Economic Forum (WEF).

By this, I mean these Ephesians 6:12-type minions of the human sort include in their wicked planning, creating such fears through their chaos so as to set the stage for what is to come. This, I believe, is at the heart of the thing of evil they term “The Great Reset.”

Of course, no mere human agency could come up with nor could implement such a massively affecting plan. The demonic minions of that Ephesians 6:12 cabal are incessantly doing their worst in order to please Lucifer the fallen one, doubtless the chief fomenter of the Build Back Better Great Reset. And it’s really the same old construction blueprint – just a neo-Bable redo but with exponentially increased fervor – thus because the chief architect knows this is it. This world system has reached the final moments on God’s Prophetic Clock. Lucifer must get done what is necessary to try and save himself from what the God of Heaven, Creator of all things, Who cannot lie, has Declared is Lucifer’s fate.

So, I have given the commentary the title: World-Rending Catastrophism Imminent.

Satan must, in short order, bring the world to this point of rebellion against all things godly; thus, he must believe in his totally reprobate thinking and prevent God’s Prophecy from fulfillment – the Prophecy found in the Psalms.

“Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalms 2:6-12).

The kings, the potentates, the judges, and the vast majority of humanity fit into the designation “heathen” of this prophecy. For broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go down that road. While narrow is the gate that leads to God, and few there are who go therein, Jesus said.

Satan observably has the heathen raging down that broad way to destruction. Jesus must, the Psalms prophecy tells, deal in great Judgment against this rebelliousness. This is, of course, what the approaching Tribulation will entail. This is the catastrophism that is impending, and even many among the heathen sense its approach.

Still, the old serpent who brought iniquity into the world afflicts lost mankind with his insane rage, as is observable to those in God’s family who are spiritually attuned to the issues and events of the hour.

One writer I find observant in this regard has synopsized rather succinctly the nucleus evil being perpetrated by the Ephesians 6:12 cabal –at least by the human minions within that wickedness in high places.

WEF founder and director Klaus Schwab brags about how he has “penetrated the cabinets” of Canada’s Justin Trudeau, France’s Emmanuel Macron, and many other governments with WEF Young Global Leaders. The WEF trains these young leaders to change the world through all-encompassing digital surveillance technology and public-private partnerships (a perfect breeding ground for fascism).

So don’t expect the pummeling of citizens’ basic rights and freedoms to end anytime soon. Trudeau is very much a puppet, just like Joe Biden here in America, Olaf Scholz in Germany, Macron in France, and Sunak in the U.K., and you can see how their policies mirror each other on climate change hysteria, gun control, cracking down on free speech, the obsession with vaccines, ever-expanding abortion rights, and the whole LGBTQ agenda…

Slay News concludes:

“There is no easier way to control the masses than to control their access to money and their ability to buy, trade, and freely move about.”

All of this will be controlled by tracking your data and sharing it with the various choke points of social control – your freedom of movement, your freedom of expression, assembly, religion, your freedom to have an opinion, your freedom to remain anonymous, your freedom to buy and sell, and most importantly of all your freedom to have a free will.

Will AI control the world? Absolutely. The question is, will you submit to it?

All of this means that there is impending Judgment from God Who will bring all back under control by placing His Son upon the Millennial Throne in Jerusalem. Meantime, there is great catastrophism about to occur in this rebellious, anti-God world. It will begin when Jesus Christ calls all of God’s Family alive on the planet, along with those believers who have died during this Age of Grace, into His Presence upon the Clouds of Glory.

Seven years of catastrophic Judgment will then commence upon a planet that Satan will assault, with Antichrist’s dictatorship being allowed to rage for a time.

You don’t want to be on Earth at that, the worst time of human history, according to the Lord Jesus (Matthew 24:21). Here is how to go to Christ when He rescues God’s Family.

“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 first time I really was made to understand the insidious nature of heavily-populated religious cults in America was in 1999. Even upon learning about one cult in particular, I had trouble believing what I was hearing.

We were in Indianapolis, Indiana, to speak at a prophecy conference –invited there by Dan, a person who would become a close friend over the ensuing years.

He and his wife were at the head of an anti-cult ministry and were devoted intensively to bringing the Truth to people of the Mormon cult and to all who would heed what they had to say. And they did indeed have much to say about the truth behind the falsely gentle façade of Mormonism.

There were great speakers at the conference like Dave Hunt, John Ankerberg and others, and I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from those speakers. But what I remember most was private conversations between Dan and myself. His revelations were stunningly eye-opening. Yet, like I mentioned, I had a hard time getting my non-cultic mind around the insidiousness of the cultic dogmas and practices.

The reason for Dan’s and his wife’s intensity in carrying out the assignment the Lord gave them was that they had several years previously to this 1999 conference come out of Mormonism. They had been at the intermediate level, as I understood Dan to say. That is, somewhere in the mid-level of the Mormon Church structure. And their status was about to change. Dan was being looked at for much higher doings in that structure.

I never will forget our sitting in a small anteroom off the big sanctuary of the church rented for the conference. It was just Dan and myself there, having a quick lunch. Dan opened up in telling about his and his wife’s leaving the Mormon Church.

The following news item, when I came across it on Rapture Ready News, instantly pierced my memory of that conversation those years ago with Dan.

A former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who was featured in an Associated Press investigation into how the church protects itself from allegations of sexual abuse, was arrested by police in Virginia this week after being indicted on charges he sexually abused his daughter while accompanying her on a school trip when she was a child, according to court filings.

Police and federal authorities had been searching for John Goodrich after a grand jury in Williamsburg on Jan. 17 found probable cause that he committed four felonies, including rape by force, threat or intimidation, forcible sodomy, and two counts of felony aggravated sexual battery by a parent of a child.

Those charges were filed weeks after the AP investigation revealed how a representative of the church, widely known as the Mormon church, employed a risk management playbook that has helped it keep child sexual abuse cases secret after allegations surfaced that Goodrich abused his daughter Chelsea, now in her 30s, at their home in Idaho as well as on a school field trip to the Washington, D.C., area 20 years ago.

“I hope this case will finally bring justice for my childhood sexual abuse,” Chelsea Goodrich said in a statement to the AP. “I’m grateful it appears that the Commonwealth of Virginia is taking one event of child sexual assault more seriously than years of repeated assaults were treated in Idaho.”

As I said, the news story grabbed my attention and transported me back to that afternoon in Indianapolis, sitting there with Dan. He told me why he and his wife, Augusta, born in Iceland and a naturalized American citizen, were so dedicated to their anti-cult ministry and why they believed in Bible prophecy.

They and their children, then grown to adulthood, had been devoted to the Mormon agenda in every way. They saw the Mormon thrust as seeking only to do good and making sure they brought others into that “church” so others, too, would go to Heaven.

Then, Dan said somberly, he came fully to know what the Mormon religion entailed at the elevated level that he was selected to join.

The bishop, or whatever the superior minister was called –can’t remember—took Dan aside, Dan told me. The church official charged with informing Dan of his being chosen, etc., then hit him with the stunning information and subsequent directive.

The church official told Dan that to be in this exalted position to which they were elevating him, he needed to have sex with his daughters.

I don’t remember the whys of this commandment by the Mormon structure, but I do remember vividly the instruction Dan told me he was given. It had something to do with solidifying Dan’s family in Heaven’s eternal positioning. I guess the information so stunned me that I missed the details of why such a heinous thing could be demanded by the cult leadership.

One thing sure, when Augusta heard the demand, she threw what we call here in the south –a FIT! They broke all connection with the cult that very day, Dan confided. They soon came to know the Lord and were, from that point forward, devoted to Christ and to exposing Mormonism and all cults.

Dan and Augusta, both of whom were considerably older than I at the time, are gone to be with the Lord. I look forward to being with those great champions for the Lord again one Eternal Day.

The Apostle Paul, I believe, wrapped within his powerful perilous times prophecy the very things today’s cults are foisting. The news story above, and my hearing Dan’s story and what brought them out of Mormonism, points specifically to some of Paul’s forewarning of things to come as the end of the age approaches. I dissect those prophesied bits here.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be… unholy… Without natural affection, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was” (2 Tim 3: 1 through 9 dissected).

To my spirit, Paul’s perilous times prophecy here –the specific things I left in— speaks to the Mormon cult and all other pseudo-Christian cults found in America and around the world today.

Now, let me say that there are folks within these cults who are good people, as we define good in our human social relationships. However, they are lost and need to come to know the Lord Jesus for Salvation of their souls –as did Dan and Augusta and as did Terry James.

For there is but one who is good. That is, as Jesus Himself said, God. And Jesus is God, and the way, the truth, and the life. No person comes to God the Father but through Jesus.

Here is the way to come to Jesus for Salvation and to be ready to go to Heaven either through the Rapture of all believers or through the portal of death.

“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).

Author’s note: Fears of global war are again at the forefront, as Russia’s Putin promises a nuclear response if NATO’s Western forces get involved in the Ukrainian conflict, as France’s Emmanuel Macron has suggested. So this reposted article from 2023 is still relevant, in my view, as fears of World War III continue to rise.

Through Peace, Not Force

We receive reports each day that war is about to burst forth, that the world will change instantly when things suddenly go out of control. Global diplomats and governors will be helpless to assuage the rage into world war once the attacks begin.

For example, one front-and-center story that warns of war involves an ages-long trouble spot that has threatened to initiate nuclear conflict.

Is China “Massing Forces at Coastal Military Bases” in Preparation for an Invasion of Taiwan?

If the Chinese decide to pull the trigger on an invasion of Taiwan, it will instantly become the biggest news story in the entire world. Because the moment that an invasion of Taiwan begins, the United States and China will be at war, and nothing will ever be the same again. (Rapture Ready News, September 15, 2023)

The Russian invasion into Ukraine and the bellicose rants of some of Vladimir Putin’s military and diplomatic leaders make it clear the former Soviet Empire is again about to raise its ugly head. They threaten nuclear war at almost every opportunity. We can see that things are ramping up for the coming war against Israel, according to Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.

Many pundits—even from the Bible-prophecy perspective—are warning that America might at any moment be invaded from the northern and southern borders by the Chinese and Russian militaries. This is despite the fact that: 1) there is not sufficient evidence to support the supposed threats, and 2) such hyperbole goes against what God’s Word indicates for both the “King of the kings of the east” (Revelation chapters 9 and 16) and Rosh (Russia), as indicated in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.

Both of these bad actors on the war-making stage are destined to do their dastardly worst in other places of the world. Both China and Russia will be dealt with in the proper places and times by the Lord Himself, we are assured.

If these diabolists attacked the United States, our military would react, regardless of the feared impotence of the presidential administration and top military of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sort. There are automatic reaction forces in place to, through nuclear submarine retaliation alone, make such attacks by America’s chief enemies a suicide mission for the entire world.

This realized and stated, such potential for making a totally destructive war that threatens to end life on Earth has its place in Bible prophecy. This truth is wrapped up in the one who will become the world’s last and most powerful evil dictator.

Actually, it will be the threat of war that will cause the world to hand this wicked man his dictatorial crown. We are told this by Daniel the prophet:

“And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant” (Daniel 11:21-22).

Daniel went on to say:

“And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all” (Daniel 11:36-37).

This is in reference, of course, to the “prince that shall come” of Daniel chapter 9. This evil prince—the son of perdition, the man of sin, the Antichrist—will come in by offering peace. He won’t have to win victories to achieve the control he desires. People will willingly give it to him.

This, of course, I believe, is verified in the prophecy of the first rider on the white horse of Revelation 6. Antichrist has no arrows, but a bow and crown, which are “given” to him.

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer” (Revelation 6:1-2).

So this most powerful, evilest despot of all of human history will be, at first, unlike the previous vile dictators on Earth. Each of them—like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and all of the ruthless leaders like the Khans of the ancient past—arose to power by murderous, raw aggression. This final one will come with guile and demonically deceptive powers that will make people beg for him to take the crown of dominion they will gladly offer.

The question is valid: Why will such a man be not only accepted but hailed and given complete adulation by most of the earth’s population?

The answer, of course, is that he will offer peace. This man, through demonic deceptiveness, will offer to take fear of world-rending nuclear war from the fear-filled thoughts of humankind.

We see that fear building even now in preparation for the time when people will have lost reasoning guided by the Holy Spirit’s influence. The “restrainer” of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 will no longer hold back both the madness of humanity and human emotions. The fear will cause hearts to fail, the Word tells us.

This most charismatic geopolitical leader in history will promise peace and prosperity. But it will be “peace, prosperity, and the coming holocaust,” as the title of my friend Dave Hunt’s book so marvelously described.

Here is a further description by God Himself—through Daniel’s vision—of the coming world leader that might even now be itching to take the reins of global government:

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand” (Daniel 8:23-25).

The fear of all-out nuclear war will clutch the reprobate mindset of most of humanity and will cause them to give Antichrist his crown. He won’t have to fire a shot—at least, not at first. His military firepower and much worse will be used later in his satanically driven holocaust we call the Tribulation.

Antichrist’s great power and authority will come through the false peace he will promise. That delusion that mesmerizes the masses will bring on the worst time of all human history, according to Jesus (Matthew 24:21). Paul, the great apostle, said the following:

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

You want to escape that time of horror that humanity faces—perhaps in the very near future. Here’s how to go to Christ when He calls God’s family to Himself to escape Antichrist’s dictatorship:

“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).

If these are the last of the last days we are experiencing, we who are believers should possess the capability to know just how near is our Lord’s Return. A powerful scripture that makes this so is the Command Given by the Lord Himself.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

Jesus, when using the phrase all these things, was referencing the prophetic signals that would immediately precede His breaking in on this incorrigible world of rebels against God. The signs would be, he forewarned, prolific and ubiquitous. That is, these prophesied things will be tremendous in terms of their happening and swiftness in coming to pass. These will be in every direction one looks. It will be a time of a prophetic horizon filled with unmistakable indicators that the believers alive at the time cannot miss.

This generation of the Redeemed is to be looking up for His coming to bring Fulfillment of their Promised Redemption. I.e., the Rapture will, the Lord Promises, be on the very cusp of happening when all the indicators will be flashing brightly into the spiritual eyes of those who are in God’s Family.

One of the most profound prophecies given in God’s Word concerning the very last days before Christ’s physical Return to Planet Earth involves that of the world’s final dictator, the one John called Antichrist.

There have been volumes written on this foretold tyrant that will, for a short time, rule much of the world.

We are told in Revelation chapter 13 that he will cause all to receive a mark and number in order to survive. This has, at its core, the infamous 666 numbering system. It will no doubt be the outgrowth –the greatly developed technology—involving digital currency and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

That technology is, at this point, a worldwide reality because of satellites connecting all continents with instantaneous transacting capability.

So, the Antichrist’s technologies are on the scene now, as is the entirety of the societal, cultural, geopolitical, and religious stage-setting for the coming Tribulation era.

There are differing views regarding from what area of the ancient Roman Empire will come the one who will be Antichrist. My own view –which I believe has been for many decades the view of solid Bible prophecy scholars such as Dr. John Walvoord, Dr. Dwight Pentecost, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. Tim LaHaye, and many others, is that this final world dictator will come out of Western Europe. –Thus, because he will, according to Daniel the prophet, be the prince that shall come out of the Roman force that destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple in A.D. 70. Here again is the prophecy that helps draw this conclusion.

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Daniel 9:26-27).

Antichrist, that prince that shall come, we are convicted, will not be from the eastern leg of the old Roman Empire, that is, not from out of Constantinople, the eastern capital, but from Rome, the capital of the western leg of that monstrous dream vision Daniel interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar, as recorded in Daniel chapter 2.

It is from out of Rome that General Titus, sent by his father, Roman Emperor Vespasian, led the Roman legions in destroying Jerusalem and the Temple.

In consideration of this and taking into account that all other signals now are in place, setting the stage for that man of sin’s coming to power, we must take a serious look at a recent matter that is in the process of developing.

We must examine whether Antichrist’s western European stronghold –his inevitable geographic base location, can now be determined. The following news brief is interesting in that regard.

Horizon Europe is the European Commission’s plan to implement “adapting our way of life” for climate change; funding digital, genome collections and cybersecurity projects under the guise of tackling cancer; a digital twin of the oceans; smart cities for which two UK cities have been selected; and, a “soil deal for Europe” which is another means of achieving the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This is the advance of technocracy. The UN Sustainable Development Goals is technocracy.

(“UKSTF”). Launched in March 2023, the UKSTF is the UK government’s plan to cement the UK’s place as a science and technology superpower by 2030…. Where is all of this leading to? Technocracy…

Governments are increasingly exerting control over citizens, eroding rights and freedoms. Centralization of power is on the rise, which is undermining the role of local governments.

Across the world, regimes, such as the European Union, are constructing a worldwide enslavement grid that has not been possible before as the technology was not available.

Several different technologies are being implemented over time and in different places. It’s easy to lose sight that it is all connected…

Throughout history, dictators and tyrants have been constrained by various factors, such as logistical difficulties, fear of resistance, or the intervention of other nations. However, as technology advances, these limitations are becoming increasingly weaker, allowing dictators to push people further than ever before…

Source: Horizon Europe is a euphemism for technocracy BY RHODA WILSON ON FEBRUARY 29, 2024 – EXPOSE, RAPTURE READY NEWS, MARCH 1, 2024]

So it is prudent to look at this development in Europe as likely being the constructing of that future and final world dictator’s stronghold. Horizon Europe is yet another brick in the neo-tower of Babel Lucifer is building. “Build Back Better” is the slogan that globalists such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and others are proclaiming in demanding a “Great Reset.”

These anti-God minions of Ephesians 6: 12 will have their construction pathway when Christ Calls believers to Himself in the Rapture. Those left behind to face the penultimate evil flowing from Antichrist’s stronghold will endure the worst time of all human history, according to Jesus Himself (Matthew 24:21).

You need not be in those numbers left behind. Here is how to instead go to the Safe Heavenly Shelter the Lord has Prepared for those who love Him and accept God’s Grace Gift Offer.

“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).
