In a recent Lifeway poll they found only 2% of churches in the USA teach Bible prophecy. This is an amazing latter-days stat for several reasons:
1- Roughly 30% of the Bible is prophetic. They’re ignoring almost 1/3 of the scriptures.
2- 100% accuracy in past prophecies fulfilled literally separates the Bible from every other book on the planet. It not only claims to be written by God, it proves it by predicting the future.
3- The entire Book of Revelation was prophetic when written. Today everything from Revelation 6 forward is still in the future and likely to be fulfilled within the next 7-14 years.
4- The Book of Revelation is the only book that promises Believers a special blessing for even trying to read and understand it.
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; Rev. 1:3a
I once read comments on Rev. 13:16-17 (Mark of the Beast) in a turn-of-the-19th-century commentary. The writer explained that each bank could have a person standing inside with a list of those forbidden to bank, and unless you got the OK-nod from him, they wouldn’t let you transact business.
That is silly and naive to us, but it just goes to show you that people over a hundred years ago were studying the Book of Revelation, as best they could, and receiving God’s blessings for the effort.
The Book of Revelation is a critical source to understand prophecy today. It’s sort of an organized outline of most of the major Old Testament prophecies of the latter days. Plus it adds critical info that helps make more sense of the 2600-year-old prophecies.
The word “Revelation” in the Greek is “Apocalupsis.” This is why it is often referred to as “The Apocalypse,” which is from the verb “Apocalupto” which means “to unveil” and the word “Kalumma,” which is “a veil.”
Therefore Apocalupsis means “the taking away of a veil.” And because the book is primarily dealing with the seven years of Tribulation, it’s most important to those of us living just before the Rapture. Jesus is pulling back the veil so we can see how it all fits together.
The Book of Revelation is largely Jewish. This is seen in its “signs” and “symbols” like the Tabernacle, the Ark, the Altar, the trumpets and plagues, and of course the sealing of the 144,000 JEWISH evangelists preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
But the Church is in chapters 2 and 3, Israel in chapters 6-19 and the nations of the world in chapters 20-22. It reveals God’s ultimate plan, a new heaven and earth without democrats. Sorry, I meant sinners (Childers strikes again!).
Just before Jesus’ crucifixion, His disciples asked Him when would the end of the age (not the end of time) come about? Jesus said no one knew the day nor the hour, not even Him, only the Father.
“But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” Mark 13:32
That was obviously true when He told His disciples. But it’s not true today because in Revelation 6 we see Jesus having qualified to receive all knowledge through His sinless life and atoning death on the cross. Today, He can’t make that same statement because He DOES know.
In the Book of Daniel, it says to “seal up” the words until the end of the Times of the Gentiles. In the Book of Revelation, which dovetails with Daniel, John is told to “seal NOT the words for the time is at hand”… meaning the Church Age.
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” Deut. 29:29
This explains that the Book of Revelation is Jesus revealing His wrath and purpose while shedding light on the time at hand.
This is why the Book of Revelation means so much for Believers today. Jesus gave this book to all Believers, but the most important group to study would be those alive at the very end of the Church Age with spiritual discernment.
And God promises through Amos that He WOULD reveal to us what is going on.
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
And from Jeremiah:
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and until He has accomplished the intent of His heart; In the latter days you will understand this. Jer. 30:24
Yet only 2% of churches even attempt to try to understand the thrust of the Bible’s teaching in hundreds of Bible prophecy verses.
I know one thing, Satan sure doesn’t want Believers to study prophecy because it gives people hope. Through prophecy we find out we can live boldly in the face of the approaching storm because we know we’ll be rescued before the Wrath of God is unleashed on the earth.
Avoiding teaching Bible prophecy is probably why so many churches today are dead as a doornail and/or woke. Good grief, we’re privileged to be living at the time of a huge dispensational change—the end of the Church Age and the beginning of the Tribulation. And most Christians have no clue.
But you and I do have a clue. We are part of a Berean group who makes sure anything we’re taught is actually coming from scripture—steel on steel.
So as we see things getting a little dicey before the Rapture, regardless of what year, stand tall on scripture. Be a witness by allowing people to see you trust Jesus and the Bible above all else. Be a compass and point to Christ.
And always keep in mind God is in control. We don’t know what He will allow in the future to be exposed to change the current direction. Remember Trump in 2016! For all we know, the Bidens, Clintons and the rest of the scumbags could be massively exposed to buy us a few more years of witnessing in peace.
CQLJ!

but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 1Cor. 2:9
45-minute video (can watch at 1.25 speed)
This is a must watch or hear—no graphics. Mike Adams asks all the right questions and lets Ed Dowd run like the wind. I watched it twice just to make sure I was hearing correctly!! Worth the time invested! I don't think Ed Dowd or Mike Adams is a Born Again Believer, but this interview only deals with provable facts. Sobering!
41-minute video (you can watch it on 1.25 or 1.5) or read the transcript. I think the video is actually best.
This one's about as good as Ed Dowd above. Naomi Wolf interviews Dr. James Thorpe and discovers Pfizer paid $11 million to bribe baby docs to push a va((ine on pregnant women...knowing it would abort some babies!!! These Pfizer execs will not do well on Judgment Day.

Interesting humor. It's posted on X (Twitter) ... for those who signed up. Ignore if it won't open. FYI, as much as possible I try to use screen shots for sites like Epoch Times who demand you give them your email address.

Russians say to Ukraine soldiers, this is your last chance, you still have a way out other than death.
Is BRICKS coming sooner or later? If Rapture doesn't happen soon, BRICKS will likely take a while to be effective. Nobody in that group trusts any of the other members. Argentina? Really? Don't they use monopoly money?
However. in a matter of weeks, Saudi Arabia has told the US to take a hike:
This makes a case for no Rapture this year... just saying.

Again, I believe they're pushing scare-tactic headlines in order for people not to notice that MILLIONS are dying from the va((ines, and the numbers are increasing, not declining. And even if this is what they want to do, it's too early to implement because the elections are over a year away. They need something closer to the election in order to "Have no choice but to use mail-in ballots." (Printed in China?)
If nothing else, this is an uncensored interview by Tucker Carlson from Europe that flies in the face of what we're hearing on the fake media. The most interesting part is his astonishment of our political arrests.

Maybe. But notice he never mentions cutting off financial aide to Israel!
I just don't trust this guy... reminds me too much of Obama!
Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, join Del Bigtree for an epic interview. They begin with the first few minutes looking at all the 2023 deaths of athletes. And just because they only started dying in 2021, don't put 2 and 2 together.
Alex Newman explains the problems with this...what it will be used for. 🙁
And Alex also has a great article on Blackrock and the Deep State HERE
The Bible says a wise man has many counselors (Prov.15:22; 11:14; 24:6). It also says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Prov. 27:17. Great advice but don't miss the fact that this helps you understand who is right and who is wrong.
The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him. Prov. 18:17
You have to look at both sides, or multiple sides, of a question to guide you to the best answer.
So it's a big deal when Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, etc., keep alternative information from being considered. It means we're living in a communist country and are being controlled. If you don't "do what they say," you'll pay the price.
So we offer all this additional information each week to give Believers more information as alternative reading.

Although we’ve been told Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is manufactured with harmless messenger RNA (mRNA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) product label shows it contains artificially modified RNA—a key ingredient that is not naturally occurring and poses a substantial risk to human health.
Recently retired government bureaucrat Anthony Fauci just appeared at a university virtual event titled, “Pandemic Lessons and Role of Faculty in Pandemic Preparedness with Dr. Anthony Fauci.” During the conversation, Fauci, who is now affiliated with Georgetown University, made it clear that he still supports locking down society in the name of a virus, adding that lockdowns are a great tool to forcibly “vaccinate” people.

Something monstrous is taking shape in America. Formally, it exhibits the synergy of state and corporate power that is the hallmark of fascism. What is coming into being is a new form of government and social organization that is as different from mid-twentieth century liberal democracy as the early American republic was from the British monarchism it grew out of.
A state organized to protect the sovereign rights of individuals is being replaced by a digital leviathan that wields power through opaque algorithms and the manipulation of digital swarms.
It resembles the Chinese system of social credit and one-party state control, and yet that, too, misses the distinctively American and providential character of the control system. In the time we lose trying to name it, the thing itself may disappear back into the bureaucratic shadows, covering up any trace with automated deletions from the top-secret data centers of Amazon Web Services, “the trusted cloud for government.”
The American press, once the guardian of democracy, was hollowed out to the point that it could be worn like a hand puppet by the U.S. security agencies and party operatives… If the underlying philosophy of the war against disinformation can be expressed in a single claim, it is this: You cannot be trusted with your own mind.
Seems like people think their dollars will be worth less in the future....
I hate to admit it, but I tend to trust Russia's Ministry of Defense more than our State Department. 🙂
Can you spot the trend?
Covid and Coffee made these comments on the above chart:
(The chart summarizes) CDC’s reported deaths from infections. In other words, it looks for evidence of population-level autoimmune problems. And guess what? You know the answer.
Here’s one of his new charts, of “Zoonotic and Bacterial Infections (all ages).” (Zoonotic means acquired by animal contact.)
The area marked “Covid Mortality Decline” is the recent period when the CDC reported falling covid deaths. That is significant to show these increasing infection deaths are not related to covid infections.
Next, the steepest inflection in infection deaths started right after 2021’s Week 14 — when the jabs rolled out. Currently, about +250 extra people are dying per week in this infections category, and the trajectory is headed up sharply.
The bottom line is reported infection deaths are up more than +40% over the pre-pandemic baseline, which is a statistical 14-sigma event.
If you’re not familiar with the lingo, 14 sigmas might not sound like very much, but just hang on. Here’s how ChatGPT described the statistical likelihood of a 14-sigma event occurring:
A 14-sigma event is extremely rare in statistics. In a normal distribution, a 14-sigma event would be more than 2.2 trillion standard deviations away from the mean. To put it simply, it's an event that has an incredibly low probability of occurring. In fact, such events are so unlikely that they often fall into the realm of statistical anomalies and might suggest something unusual happening in the data or the underlying process.
Wow! 2.2 trillion standard deviations from the mean! “It might suggest something unusual happening.” No kidding. Those kind of odds seem well beyond the realm of the ‘improbable,’ and are rather comfortably living in a giant McMansion somewhere in the neighborhood of impossibility. Something unusual is happening, all right, something unusual that a legitimate, well-funded public health agency should promptly investigate. If only we had a legitimate, well-funded public health agency, that is. Why haven’t we started one yet?
Oh. Never mind.
What does this new chart mean? We’ve previously speculated about increasing rates of weird, rare diseases like monkeypox, Hansen’s disease (leprosy), and others, all being possibly related to vaccine-induced autoimmune syndromes, colloquially called “VAIDS.” Ethical’s current chart adds more evidence supporting that hypothesis.
