What’s coming isn't the culmination of the Globalist New World Order agenda. That’s the obvious enemy the world will awaken to and rise up against.
What’s truly on the horizon is an unholy, false light, reactionary, multi-faith, over-zealous, misguided unity of humanity against it.
Driven by fear of losing their worldly control, they will even kill the faithful, believing they are doing God’s will, just as warned in John 16:2.
I believe this “great awakening” will gradually unveil the ruling Zionist Jews as the source of crimes against humanity, leading to a misguided holy war against Israel under the guise of liberating humanity.
This is prophesied in Zechariah 14, where God raises up the gentile nations to serve as instruments of judgment against Jerusalem for her wickedness and rebellion.
Just as He used pagan gentile nations like Rome, Assyria, and Babylon to besiege and attack Jerusalem in judgment, He will do so again.
There is nothing new under the sun and what has been will be again. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
This end times event is also known as Jacob's trouble, prophesied as the final stage in the cycles of judgment on Israel.
"Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones." (Zechariah 13:7)
Israel killed the shepherd, who is Jesus, and God destroyed their temple and scattered them among the nations.
The chapter continues in verses 8-9 about how Jerusalem will be refined by this purifying judgement,
"In the whole land," declares the Lord, "two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third will be left in it."
"This third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.'"
This is what Jesus was referring to when He prophesies in Matthew 23:36-39:
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing."
"Look, your house is left to you desolate."
"For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
Zechariah 14 immediately describes how God, in His sovereignty, is raising up the nations, hardening their hearts as He once hardened Pharaoh's heart against Jacob.
"A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls."
"I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city."
"Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle."
"On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south." (Zechariah 14:1-4)
Verse 4 is talking about Christ's return, as the faithful remnant in Jerusalem's declaration of Jesus as messiah will trigger the ultimate divine intervention.
This is what the prophet Daniel spoke of in Daniel 12:1:
"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered."
Dr. Michael Heiser, a biblical scholar, discussed the concept of Michael rising to confront Satan in heaven, which shows how earthly conflicts are mirrored by spiritual battles in the heavenly realms.
When the Archangel Michael rises, the siege of Jerusalem will commence, with fallen humanity united against the harlot, apostate Jerusalem as described in Zechariah.
There’s really no other good reason why the entire world would come against Jerusalem to destroy it, as Zechariah 14:2 and other passages describe, other than the united perception that it is the headquarters of the New World Order.
The world wouldn't unite against Israel unless the ruling Zionist Jews are seen as leaders of an international mafia responsible for so many global problems.
Israel's wickedness will have reached such a level that the Lord raises up the beast kingdom to bring judgment upon her.
The remnant is discussed in numerous places throughout the Old Testament and is specifically enumerated in Revelation as the 144,000—12,000 from each tribe—who will repent and call out to the Lord Jesus as Christ Himself prophesied back in Matthew 23.
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness." (Isaiah 10:20-22)
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call." (Joel 2:32)
Revelation 7:1-8 reveals how many of them are saved out of Jacob's trouble (Great tribulation):
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand."
Now let's talk about the faithful in Christ among the gentiles.
In Revelation 7, two distinct groups are prophesied: the 144,000 from the tribes of Israel, who are explicitly numbered, and a separate, uncountable multitude from every nation that cannot be numbered.
This multitude, unlike the 144,000, consists of Gentiles in Christ.
This distinction shows the inclusion of both saved Jews and Gentiles in the prophetic visions of Revelation.
Revelation 7:9-10 reads,
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Those Gentiles who cling to Christ and do not allow their hearts to harden or grow cold will be among the multitudes that are saved.
These are the very ones included in the vast, uncountable group described in Revelation 7.
That's why when speaking of the last days in Matthew 24:12-13 Christ warns,
"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,"
"but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."
This implies that the gentiles who harden their hearts, despite Christ's commands, are the modern equivalents of the Egyptians, Canaanites, and Babylonians in the Bible—tools used in God's grand plan to save Israel, who have rebelled against Him and allowed the land to become a 'city of evil' as described in Revelation 18.
According to 1 Timothy 2:4, God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
However, by rejecting Jesus as the Messiah, Israel has prompted God to use the gentiles (the rest of the world) to rise in judgment against Jerusalem so that they might turn from their wicked ways, repent of their sin, and return to God.
Again, The Great Awakening is ultimately leading to an unholy, multi-faith, gentile alliance and counterfeit 'revelation'—a disclosure of information that unveils a small clique of child-molesting, world-stealing, war-mongering megalomaniacs, which are the merchants of Mystery Babylon (Apostate Jerusalem) that will weep upon her fall. (Revelation 18:9-11)
This revelation rallies a range of lesser evils to briefly unite in a righteous fervor against those who, like the Pharisee in Luke 18, pridefully thank God they are not like "those other people," all the while ignoring the sin in their own hearts.
A coalition like that won't last for long but, because Satan only has a short time, it doesn't really need to.
We are on the brink of witnessing the most significant event in human history, the culmination of all that has been building since the beginning.
Ultimately, there are only two sides: those who follow God, submitting and fearing Him alone, and those who follow the world and their flesh, fearing worldly things and following their wicked hearts.
I too was deceived by this for many years; it is indeed a powerful delusion.
Tribulation signifies testing, and our Sovereign God is allowing these events to unfold to both preserve His faithful remnant in Jerusalem and to test the hearts of those who claim to follow Him.
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Revelation 14:12)
Followers of Christ who remain steadfast in their faith and do not join this false light rebellion will be labeled as traitors to humanity.
They will face severe persecution, being betrayed and even put to death by their neighbors, loved ones, and communities.
Like i said earlier, John 16:2 says that they will kill the saints, believing they are carrying out God's will, revealing the tragic irony of the delusion that ensnares the wicked in the last days.
If you, like me, have been deceived by this powerful deception, it might indicate unresolved sin or rebellion in your life that you haven't repented of.
In this case, it could be that God is using this as a form of judgment, hardening your heart, as we see Him do all throughout scripture.
You might be serving not as a vessel of His mercy, but as an instrument of His wrath, intended to give rise to the beast kingdom, and purify and prepare Jerusalem for Christ's return and His Millennial Kingdom.
I understand this is a lot to take in, and there's likely a significant amount of "deprogramming" and cognitive dissonance that I've experienced, which you may also need to navigate.
Remember, there’s a reason Matthew 7 states that the path to life is narrow and few find it, and why numerous passages in scripture warn that the whole world will be deceived in the last days, even the elect, if possible. (Matthew 24:24)
As followers of Christ, winning and losing isn't about worldly victories or defeats, but about overcoming the flesh by the Spirit.
The great irony is that the misguided zeal and worldly fear of the world that will actually pave the way for the kingdom of the beast.
But our battle isn't the world's battle.
Those who align themselves with the world, sharing its fears and anxieties, will ultimately face the same judgment.
“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4-5)
“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)
"For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness." (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12)
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
Again, i understand this is a lot for most people, but please, read this as many times as you have to and pray on this; remember God's sovereignty and find peace in following His commands.
"Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me." (John 14:24)
God bless you all.
