Are you ready?
Disasters, Politics, and the Human Heart
Across the globe disasters are increasing at an unprecedented rate, both in intensity and frequency. For anyone familiar with the Bible, this isn't surprising, it’s expected. These weather forecasts, pandemics, global politics, increased chaos, hatred, and the upcoming mass murders were written down for us thousands of years ago. Thankfully, they include a timetable so we know why, when, and what to look for as they occur.
Biblical Playbook
During the two-year span between 2020 and 2022, we experienced a test run of how corruption can manipulate the masses, but also the truth of how easily the masses are willing to abide when they're told to fear.
As the human choices (not surprisingly) begin to create waves of damage, destruction, and death, more people are seeing through the lies and are pushing back. But unfortunately, the infrastructure and presidence is now set in place.
There will be more of these pandemics in our near future, and each wave will come with further constraints and the encouraged dependence on those wanting more control. This level of control, including the ability to work or buy food, are all Biblical prophecy.
It Gets Worse
The upcoming wars, strife, human-created food shortages, financial collapse, and so much more are lining up in perfect order, as if following the Bible to the letter. Interesting how it's coming to pass in the exact order and scenarios as God said it would. It's as if the leaders across the planet are using the Bible as their playbook, following the Biblical Timeline perfectly. But of course we know, it's because God knew these things in advance and He loves us enough to tell us ahead of time, in such order and detail that it will be obvious to anyone willing to study His word.
Politics across the globe have ignited hatred, division, and wars against friends, families, and countries. The human heart is hard, closed and steadfast against God and those who love Him. While screaming “tolerance”, “unity” and “love” the world has become angry, hostile and violent toward those who actually stand for what they claim... true, unconditional love. True love is shown through sincere, open arms (not marches, signs or yelling derogatory comments). True love is unconditional and includes everyone, especially those who adamantly disagree with you. There is no political solution to a spiritual problem.
When you remove God from your school, your life and your heart someone else takes His place. His name is Satan. We can blame global warming, HAARP (for messing with the weather), CERN (for opening satanic gateways), or a medley of others to justify the state of the world (which they are probably influencing), yet at the core, it’s the state of the human heart, a hardening toward God (and a turning toward Satan and his deceptions), that has set in motion these horrific events and their inevitable consequences.
What's In The Playbook
The visual parts that play out in our earthly, physical experiences are only the surface of the plan. These are merely physical manifestations of the underlying spiritual war. Satan has been provoking people into war against God since His fall from grace.
In case you're wondering what this playbook looks like, read your Bible.
God's prophetic timeline runs throughout the entire Bible, but for those who want only a glimpse, there are certain passages that more easily clarify what's to come. For example, read Matthew 24, where Jesus answers His disciples when they ask Him about what's to come. Jesus begins with a warning "do not be deceived" and repeatedly warns about deceptions (Matthew 24:4, 23, 24,26). We're also told throughout the Bible that the best way to not be deceived is to know God and study His word. It's much easier to stand on a firm foundation than to try to build one while you're under attack.
But here's a glimpse of a few things that are to come...
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place,but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs." - Matthew 24:6-8
If what we're experiencing today are Biblical birth pangs (and I believe they are), then we know there's only one direction for these events. Perhaps there are lols between contractions, where we can catch our breath and have yet one more opportunity to re-group and prepare for the next wave. But birth pangs don't revers, they only increase in frequency and intensity. We're past the point of no return. We can't stop the events from taking place, but we can be more prepared for them (spiritually, physically, and mentally).
What's to come is far more intense than what we've experienced.
"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short." - Matthew 24:21
The
"Behold, I have told you in advance." - Matthew 24:23-25
Biblical Prophecy Being Fulfilled
We've witnessed more Biblical prophecy being fulfilled in the past six years than in the past six decades. Thankfully, even atheists and people from all walks of life who would normally never step foot inside of a born-again Christian church as starting to ask questions about God and the End Times. This in itself is a blessing, a miracle, and a fulfillment of prophecy.
We live in a sacred moment on this planet as the world shifts toward the coming events that will forever change the world as "before" and "after".
Is This The Great Tribulation?
Are we living in the end times, is this the great tribulation? No. Not yet. As horrific as each of these natural disasters are, what’s to come is far greater. Are we witnessing the end of the world? Not even close. Even the devastation of the tribulation (which lasts for 7 years), will not be the "end of the world" (although it will certainly feel like it). There will be a 1,000-year reign of Christ on Earth followed by a new world and a New Jerusalem after the .
Can We Know What's To Come And When?
Absolutely! God is not in the habit of completely blindsiding us with a surprise event, especially one as important as His coming. The Old Testament tells of numerous prophecies that lead up to Christ’s birth, including the time, location and reason for His coming. It’s not surprising that the Old and New Testament work together to do the same thing for us, regarding His second coming and the events that will occur leading up to His return.
“None of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.” - Daniel 12:10
“We do not want you to be uninformed… so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope” - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
“Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets.” - Amos 3:7
“If you do not wake up (or watch), I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you”. - Revelation 3: 3
God tells us (in Daniel 9) that we are to know and discern, that from Daniel’s time to Jesus’ birth, there will be 483 years (70 “weeks” = 7x70 minus 7 years). God uses this (among hundreds of other prophecies) to let us know when and where He is coming. This is God’s pattern of not wanting us to be surprised, but to be ready.
“… the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night… But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief… so let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10
“Looking for that blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ” - Titus: 2:13
While we don’t know the exact hour or day or the week, we can know very closely, as we watch God’s timetable unfold. We are told to study God’s word and be ready at any moment.
As we examine upcoming events, we must remember not to be distracted by the details; it’s far more important to focus on the core truth… that Jesus is returning and we must be prepared, by knowing Him as our personal savior. That said, if the details of events, people, and places, helps you to draw near to God, I deeply encourage your excitement and education as you study the Biblical End Times.
Being a creative visual artist I decided to create a few timelines to help us along our study of the End Times. They've been growing and more details are added as we study each new book and chapter.
Please feel free to download and/or print any of my End Time Timelines, I creared them for you, as a tool to help us all visualize and navigate these upcoming events. Enjoy! (Note: the closer we get to the Tribulation, the more likely my website, along with numerous others, will be shut down, as this vital information will attempt to be erased. Please download the Timeline now, while you still can!).
God’s Prophetic Timeline is the order of events that will take place.
My "Biblical EventsTimeline" chart, includes:
From before Creation
To after the Millennium
Near the center of this chart, you'll find the " Seven-Year Tribulation" (and beyond), which includes:

A Loving God Gives You A Choice
Like a loving father to a rebellious child, God has waited patiently, lovingly, longing for you to know Him. He’s sent messengers to you to tell you, guide you, show you He’s here, with arms open, loving you even while you rebel against Him. He loves you enough to give you free will, to decide for yourself, and it breaks His heart to see you not only choose the path of Satan but to give God the finger every chance you get. This is not God’s doing but a result of personal choice; choosing to live without God in your life.
To Love God Or Not To Love Him - You Get What You Choose
The natural disasters, the political unrest and so much more, are all warning signs (given to you in God’s word, The Bible) as fulfilled prophecy, a sign of even more events to come, and chance after chance for you to accept God as your savior before it’s too late. These are wake-up calls; opportunities for you. What will it take for you to see that God is real? Thousands of fulfilled prophecies? Signs in the stars? Extremely detailed predictions coming true? Earthquakes? Tribulation? People to share with you, offering to help you along your journey? You have all these things and so much more.
My heart is so full of love for you. I pray from the deepest part of my soul, that you will accept Jesus as your personal savior and begin your beautiful journey together, from now through eternity in Heaven. More than anything, I want you to know God and know His unconditional love and peace, as you journey through the trials and tribulations of life. I pray this for you above all else.
Don't just take my word for it - use it as a reason to look it up and discover the truth for yourself.

The Book of Proverbs
My favorite place for a morning reading is the book of Proverbs. It was written by King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. A beautiful place to gain grounding and wisdom.
“The Magog Invasion is NOT Armageddon.”

Prepare
God doesn't tell us these things ahead of time so we can fear, but for two reasons, to allow us to be prepared (get saved, and prepare for the upcoming storms), and as evidence of Himself, so we will know that He is God (by knowing and writing about these events thousands of years before they happen). God's goal is to be with us. He loves us enough to let us decided if we want to be with Him or separated from Him, that's up to each of us. Not everyone wants to go to heaven and be with God, but that doesn't change the fact that God loves us.
