The days are shorter and the nights are longer. The leaves are falling and the temperature is dropping. Another year is rapidly closing down and coming to an inglorious end. And here are the tribulation trends as noted by our very own, Johnny Pentecost – the strong and forward, the dark and foreboding. Everything you need to know to plan for the latter days and latter rains.
1 – The first thing to note is that we seem to be experiencing the beginning of a prophetic slow down. Even with this year’s many astounding developments, the prophetic mile markers just aren’t falling as quickly as in years past. We are ramping up our technology and accelerating apostasy, but the timeline for Christ’s return isn’t advancing as we’d like. This is important for all that follows
We saw the new moon solar eclipse and the grand conjunction of the classical planets. But little came of it.
2 – Perhaps it is only our imagination, but it does appear that people are being born in graveyard shifts without the natural affections common to man. Lawless kids are an open invitation. Look what is happening in Cuba. They are falling away from collapsing churches.
3 – It is time to search for witches. There are demons walking out and spirits moving in. There are six thousand curses for sale every day – and that’s just the Presbyterians. Wiccans waking me at all hours of the night with the noise of their drums. We have become a dwelling place of spooks and haints. We are summoning demons. We are playing with fire. But we must be smarter if we are to be careful.
4 – Our words and thoughts are being monitored and recorded. Everything we do and think is taken down and noted by the surveillance state. Your information – public, private, and personal – filed away by covert organizations. Your insurance agent is among them. Your doctor. Your wife’s therapist. The policeman on the corner. Your child’s schoolteacher. They are waiting and watching with hidden cameras and secret microphones. Telestar communication satellites will record it all from overhead. And what can you do to stop them?
5 – Consider the danger of mental health trauma but don’t call it PTSD. Our soldiers deserve more. Deserve better. The women of our desires are dying of an overdose of sleeping pills and chloral hydrate. Wrestling sleep and barking dogs. Flash-bang flashbacks. Hands-on striking and we are bruised bad enough to want off the ride.
These are the trends of the times. From them we must calculate the cons that the world has outgrown. But even still, there is no prophetic angle here.
