Today, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds to midnight, the closest the clock has ever been to midnight.
Annie Jacobsen, American investigative journalist, author, and a 2016 Pulitzer Prize
finalist, wrote a new book, “Nuclear War: A Scenario.” In Politico, they wrote ──
Nuclear war would be bad. Everyone knows this. Most people would probably rather not think through the specifics. But Annie Jacobsen, an author of seven books on sensitive national security topics, wants you to know exactly how bad it would be. Her new book Nuclear War: A Scenario sketches out a global nuclear war with by-the-minute precision for all of the 72 minutes between the first missile launch and the end of the world. …That’s this, in Jacobsen’s telling: A North Korean leader launches an intercontinental ballistic missile at the Pentagon, and then a submarine-launched ballistic missile at a nuclear reactor in California, for reasons beyond the scope of the book except to illustrate what one “mad king” with nuclear weapons could do. A harried president has a mere six minutes to decide on a response, while also being evacuated from the White House and pressured by the military to launch America’s own ICBMs at all 82 North Korean targets relevant to the nation’s nuclear and military forces and leadership. These missiles must fly over Russia, whose leaders spot them, assume their country is under attack (the respective presidents can’t get one another on the phone), and send a salvo back in the other direction, and so on until 72 minutes later three nuclear-armed states have managed to kill billions of people, with the remainder left starving on a poisoned Earth where the sun no longer shines and food no longer grows.
Well, It’s the End of the World As They Might Think It… but it will not end that
way, even if there is a nuclear World War III. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
teaches us ──
“’ For then [when the end of this present evil age comes] there will be great
tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no,
nor ever shall be.
22) And UNLESS THOSE DAYS WERE SHORTENED, no flesh would be saved;
but for the elect’s sake THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED’” – Matthew 24:21
22.
So, certainly while our Lord Jesus says, “’ men’s hearts failing them from fear and
expectation of those things which are coming on the earth,’” people will not cease to exist, or the Earth will not
explode like the planet Krypton or the Death Star!
Certainly, if Russia launched a supersonic missile towards the United States of
America, it would seem like 72 minutes! Moscow to New York is about 4,672 miles, and at 6.5km/s (the speed of a supersonic missile) is about 20 minutes! 1
However, that being said, a great many scoffers are coming in these last days,
“walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His
coming?” – 2 Peter 3:3.
Sir Isaac Newton, English mathematician,
physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian,
and author of the 17th century, warned of
never predicting dates for the return of our
Lord Jesus in a letter dated back to 17o4 ──
“This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predications fail.” 2
But then ── does so himself!
As I have mentioned before, back on November 6th, 2016, I had a prophetic dream
from God. A most vivid dream. In this dream I had at night, I was looking at the
clearest, most wonderful night sky I had ever seen, with crystal clear stars shining.
And then suddenly I heard a booming voice which said, “They only have 10 years
left.”
Now, I'm not one to set dates or state that our Lord will come back in 2026. However,
our Master did tell us that we can know the seasons of an approximate time for the
beginning of His prophesied Day of the LORD! And we are definitely in these
prophesied ‘sorrows’ - or what the Authorized Version says, ‘birth pains.’
The end of this present evil age, as we know it, will end this century ── certainly a
lot sooner than Sir Isaac Newton predicted. He had several grave misunderstandings
related to “days and years.” He was completely confused ── confusing chapters 12
& 17 with chapter 13. Also, claiming the second beast represented the Church of the
GREEK Empire ──
… when the Dragon gave the Beast his throne, the ten horns received power as Kings, the same hour with the Beast. …At length, the woman arrived at her place of temporal as well as spiritual dominion upon the back of the Beast, where she is nourished a time, and times and half a time, from the face of the serpent; not in his kingdom, but at a distance from him. She is nourished by the merchants of the earth, three times or years and a half years, or 42 months, or 1260 days: and in these Prophecies, days are put for years. During all this time the Beast acted, and she sat upon him, that is, reigned over him, and over the ten Kings who gave their power and strength, that is, their kingdom to the Beast; and she was drunken with the blood of the Saints. By all these circumstances she is the eleventh horn of DANIEL'S fourth Beast, who reigned with a look more stout than his fellows, and was of a different kind from the rest, and had eyes and a mouth like the woman; and made war with the saints, and prevailed against them, and wore them out, and thought to change times and laws, and had them given into his hand, until a time, and times, and half a time. These characters of the woman, and little horn of the Beast, agree perfectly: in respect of her temporal dominion, she was a horn of the Beast; in respect of her spiritual dominion, she rode upon him in the form of a woman, and was his Church, and committed fornication with the ten Kings. 3
He was actually referencing chapters 12 & 17 above. Notice God’s living word from
Revelation 12 ──
“Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the
woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14) But the woman was given two wings
of a great eagle [See: Exodus 19:4], that she might fly into the wilderness to her
place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence
of the serpent. 15) So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after
the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16) But the earth
helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which
the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17) And the dragon was enraged with the
woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the
commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 12:13-17.
In our free online PDF booklet, “Satan’s World,” we teach on the true meaning of
who this ‘woman who gave birth to the male Child' is, along with explaining the
‘two wings of a great eagle’.
Then, Sir Isaac Newton went directly to Revelation 13, and started in verse 10 ──
The second Beast, which rose up out of the earth, was the Church of the GREEK Empire: for it had two horns like those of the Lamb, and therefore was a Church; and it spake as the Dragon, and therefore was of his religion; and it came up out of the earth, and by consequence in his kingdom. It is called also the false Prophet who wrought miracles before the first Beast, by which he deceived them that received his mark, and worshipped his image. When the Dragon went from the woman to make war with the remnant of her seed, this Beast arising out of the earth assisted in that war, and caused the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the authority of the first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed, and to make an Image to him, that is, to assemble a body of men like him in point of religion. He had also power to give life and authority to the Image, so that it could both speak, and by dictating cause that all religious bodies of men, who would not worship the authority of the Image, should be mystically killed. And he causeth all men to receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead, and that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number of his name; all the rest being excommunicated by the Beast with two horns. 4
The prophesied final end-time “beast” will come to rule over “ten kings who have
received no kingdom as yet” ── kingdoms as the LORD God views kingdoms.
Lands that had been a part of the old Greco-Roman Empire, such as parts of Greece
and Turkey, as well as large parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
God’s living word shows us that eventually this final “beast” ── the Catholic
European king of the North-- will conquer and subjugate lands in the Middle East and
North Africa per Daniel 11:40-43.
Indeed, this “Second Beast” is not the Church of the Greek Empire! Nor is it “also
called the False Prophet”! As he so erroneously wrote ──
His mark is ✠✠✠ and his name AATEINOS, and the number of his name 666. 5
For more on the “mark of the beast,” check out our free online PDF booklet, “Who or What Is the BEAST That Rises Up Out of the Sea?”
Interesting that he uses the German Iron Cross ── a military symbol in the Kingdom
of Prussia, the German Empire (1871–1918), and Nazi Germany (1933–1945).
However, that being said, our Lord Jesus Christ tells us to look at various signs and
events that would take place (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21). He did not say to simply focus on mathematical calculations, though to a small degree, they can play a
role.
Sir Isaac Newton had gotten himself completely confused ── as most do who try
and self-interpret God’s living prophecies.
Those of us who are members of the Church that our Lord Jesus began in 31 A.D. on
the Day of Pentecost generally believe that the recreation of this world began nearly 6,000 years ago as recorded for us in Genesis 1:3, “Then God [the Elohim, the family
of God – which at this time consists of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ]
said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” The end of 6,000 years looks to end
by the first half of this 21st century ── based upon our Lord Jesus’ birth
(approximately 5 A.D.), His terrible crucifixion, death, and resurrection
(approximately 30 A.D.). There is a possibility that 2026 could be the beginning year
of the Day of the LORD – but NOT the return of Jesus Christ.
Brethren, do not let people who are in or out of Christ’s Church deceive you regarding
the Lord Jesus’ Return ──
“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering
together to Him, we ask you, 2) not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by
spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the Day of Christ [speaking of
the Day of the LORD] had come. 3) Let no one deceive you by any means; …” – 2
Thessalonians 2:1-3.
BELIEVE ONLY THE LORD GOD!
Sadly, there are a great many biblical signs related to the end-time ‘great tribulation’
and the glorious and powerful return of our Lord Jesus Christ that so few today
properly understand. □
