With the onset of CV-19, society has been inundated with all sorts of what can only be properly termed propaganda based fear. Obviously, fear is a tremendous motivator.

There are two types of biblical fear. The first is the fear that draws people toward God in repentance due to a fear of impending judgment by God. The second is a fear of the LORD that is placed within the newly saved individual by God Himself and it is the responsibility of the Christian to grow that fear. Both types of fear are used by God, but of course, the fear of the Lord that is to grow within the Christian is a deep, profound, reverential respect and awe of who God is and that happens as His Word is studied and effort is made by the Christian to help that reverential awe (fear) grow.

There is another type of fear though that has been successfully used on global society and it is the constant use of fear of impending death. This was the same type of fear, by the way, that was used during and after the original 9/11 tragedy when planes were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center towers. The so-called Patriot Act was passed, which was not in the least patriotic, but essentially gave birth to the very large Homeland Security and began stripping citizens of their 4th amendment rights through that agency and the TSA at airports. Many in the USA agreed with it because they dutifully intoned “if it keeps us safer in the air, I’m all for it!” mentality.

The same mentality has taken over due to CV-19 over the past year and a half. Fear of impending death caused people to agree that shutting down the economy was best. Closing most businesses, schools and churches was considered necessary. Closing nearly everything was widely embraced by most people in spite of damage done. Of course, abortion clinics (and strip joints), were allowed to remain open and were cited as “essential.” Big Box stores were also considered essential, so if you had a small business that was not considered essential, you were told to shut down. Thousands of businesses have since gone bankrupt.

Here’s a great video that addresses CV-19, the jab and problems associated with it. If you can, I suggest not only viewing it but downloading it. Please also share it with family and friends. Maybe it’ll make a difference for some who are not sure about what to do with the CV-19 vax.

Share with Loved Ones. If they get the jab after watching this they are beyond saving!

In another interview, Dr. Michael Yeadon warns people not to get the “top up” CV-19 booster shots. Of course, Snopes says that Yeadon makes unscientific and non-empirically based assumptions that have been discredited and is a “conspiracy theorist.” I’ll let readers come to their own conclusions.

But the question in all of this is WHY? What’s the end game? The answer to that question can be found only in Scripture and in short, the fear of impending death is being used to usher in the great and fearful events described in Revelation and elsewhere. Christianity and Christians are being persecuted more than ever, even in so-called civilized, industrialized nations. 2 Peter 2 makes clear the growing problem of false teachers and deceivers.

Like Jesus, Paul and Peter allude to attitudes and situations that would exist within global society because of people the Bible calls “the wicked” or “workers of iniquity.” As previously noted, these people are not your run of the mill sinners like the rest of us. They are people who must participate in evil thoughts, words, and actions. Their hearts are so hardened (Romans 3:18), that they can do nothing else. Satan cannot do what he is attempting to do without workers of iniquity.

In effect, the world seems to have begun the final push toward the events highlighted throughout the book of Revelation, though we are clearly not there yet. But one can only wonder, how much longer until the events of Revelation 1 begin?

When reading Revelation 13, our growing technology seems to be a perfect fit in some ways.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Notice two things that happen in the above verse (Revelation 13:15). The context of this section of Scripture is referencing the second beast or false prophet, who directs attention to the first beast, the Antichrist. This false prophet has the ability to “give life unto the image of the beast,” which seemed really supernatural only a few years ago.

But now with “the Giant Man” in the following video, it’s clear that we are on the cusp of such technology. However, I believe the actual event spoken of in the above verse will probably include much more than this Giant Man as seen in the video. Whatever it happens to be, it will certainly amaze people and that will be exceedingly difficult to do with the amount of technology that exists now.

We need to remember that Satan has tremendous power at his disposal. I believe he has largely created the UFO phenomenon that I’ve discussed in several books I’ve published. We know from the book of Job alone that Satan has power over nature and can obviously kill (as God allows). Satan can also create havoc in a person’s life, emotionally, physically and mentally.

I’m not sure this “Giant Man” exhibit will be what the coming False Prophet will use to “give life” to the statue or image of the Antichrist, but we know that whatever it is, will be fantastic and cause people to pledge their full allegiance to Antichrist in outright worship, just as Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon demanded the worship of the image he set up in Daniel 3. Those who do not bend the knee, as the verse above states, will be executed.

From what I have personally studied and researched, the entire situation surrounding CV-19 (including the jab), is simply propelling society toward the final global kingdom first highlighted in Daniel 2 by using fear of impending death as the motivator. This coming final kingdom will be a somewhat revised Roman Empire and will be headquartered in Europe somewhere. In fact, it may grow out of the old boundaries of Ancient Rome.

The book of Revelation informs us that there will come a time after this global kingdom takes shape that ten “kings” will take their place to rule for a little while (Revelation 17). But what is interesting is that shortly after these ten rulers start their rule, an “eleventh” will come along who is not part of that circle and through political deceit, gain power over them.

The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast. These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)

They yield their power and authority to the beast (or Antichrist), but not necessarily willingly. First, Antichrist has to show who is boss. In fact, Daniel 7 provides a great deal more insight into this and I’ve written about this before here and here back in 2016.

23 Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. 25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time (Daniel 7:23-25).

So here we learn that Antichrist (“another” in verse 24), will rise after the ten kings and he will be different. He’s an outsider. As the globalist families have and remain exceedingly wealthy, passing down their wealth and power from one generation to another for many generations, Antichrist will not be part of them. In the latter part of verse 24, we learn that this Antichrist will “put down three kings.” Most conservative scholars believe he will kill three of them and the remaining seven will pledge their loyalty to him out of fear of their own impending death. In that sense, Antichrist fulfills the prophecy that though he is the 11th, after killing three, he becomes the 8th (Revelation 17:11).

All this is to say that global society is quickly moving toward the time when all will be in place to allow the final global kingdom of Daniel 2 to come to the fore. There is nothing we can do to stop this from happening and we should not spend our time or energy trying to stop it from happening. God says it will happen just like the previous kingdoms came and went – Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman. God has a number of purposes in allowing these kingdoms to come into existence and the entirety of the Bible lays it out.

So if this final global kingdom is coming into existence what might that look like as we build to that point? Two years ago, no one would have even considered the fact that much of the world would have been shutdown economically and for reasons we were told that had to do with our “health and safety.” Did you think that would ever happen?

If we consider what God says about the end times events, how can we not be moving quickly toward the unfolding of the book of Revelation since so much of what is transpiring in society is based on fear of impending death?

But what is also fascinating is that though most seem preoccupied with avoiding death, the very thing they are trying to avoid through fear is creating the global situation that is allowing Satan to bring the world to the opening judgments of Revelation 1. Because of societal fear, people will actually get what they are desperately trying to avoid: full-blown destruction and mayhem as the 21 judgments from God’s throne are poured out onto humanity throughout the earth taking millions of lives because of it.

Those who are not afraid of dying will rise and remain above it all. Christians should never fear death, but too many today do. Is it because they are so comfortable in this world and have not begun removing themselves from “Babylon” that is to be destroyed in Revelation 18?

How you respond to the events of this world determines how well you trust the Lord.
