The “Doomsday Clock,” maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, has been moved closer to midnight again, signaling that the end of the age is closer than ever before.
CBS reported the following ──
January 27, 2026“Doomsday Clock” moves to 85 seconds to midnight, closest point to catastrophe since its debutThe “Doomsday Clock,” a metaphor for how close humanity is to self-annihilation, was moved to 85 seconds to midnight on Tuesday, its closest point to catastrophe since the clock made its debut nearly 80 years ago.“Humanity has not made sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger us all,” said Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.The risks humanity faces from nuclear weapons, climate change and disruptive technologies are growing, Bell said. “Every second counts, and we are running out of time,” she said.
Last year, we had posted, “Sign of the Times.”
This move of the clock certainly is regarding Iran’s growing barbarism, aggression, and threats regarding their soon-coming regime change.
Truly, many world events are worrying scientists around the world──and for many of them, it is far worse than at any other previous decade! Sadly, the overall majority of world scientists, globalists, and world leaders do not know God’s Master Plan From the Beginning.
Of course, to a large degree, changes to the “Doomsday Clock” have largely been to convey a political message.
But are we closer to the end of this present evil age?
Absolutely.
Notice these inspired words of our beloved Apostle Paul ──
“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12) The night is far spent, the Day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” – Romans 13:11-12.
Brethren, for many of us, our ‘when we first believed’ has seemed like a lifetime──already having been 45-years for me! Every single day, we get ever closer to the terrible and dreadful Day of the Lord, along with the glorious and powerful return of our mighty Savior, Jesus Christ, and the establishment of the kingdom of God on this beautiful blue jewel of a planet──Earth!
Are we at the end of the time spoken of by our Lord Jesus, “the beginning of sorrows”? – Matthew 24:4-8. A span of time that has lasted nearly 2,000 years!
Well, as our Lord Jesus said to us in verse 6 of the Book of Matthew 24, “ … ‘See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.’”
Let us notice these specific events that occur for nearly two-thousand years before the rise of His end-time prophets (Matthew 24:9) ──
“And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you. 5) For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. …’” – and sure enough there are! How many hundreds and hundreds of different versions of “Christianity” do we have in the world today, which proclaim that Jesus is the Christ, yet are deceiving their people? And how many times are they so very far apart! Almost inconceivable! This is not about someone saying, ‘I am Christ,’ trying to make everyone believe that they are Christ – like, here recently, Vernon Howell, who changed his name to David Koresh, professing himself to be the spiritual descendant of King David, hence Jesus Christ. This is actually talking about people who will represent Jesus Christ. They will say, ‘Jesus is Christ! Jesus is Lord!’ And they will use that to deceive many.
“’ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. …’” – according to Defcon Level, there’s massive Haiti gang violence, Baltic Region tension between Russia, the Baltic States, Finland, Sweden, and NATO. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has a great possibility of the use of nuclear weapons. Tensions are rising in Iran with a grave risk of the use of nuclear weapons. A Korean Peninsula tension between North & South Korea and the U.S., and then there’s also the active conflict in the Myanmar Civil War! ── and even more turmoil around the world! All of this is quite concerning – wouldn’t you say? How long will it be before a rogue nation smuggles a nuclear suitcase device into the United States of America? Or have they already? Sadly, in this 21st century, we’re able to talk about the fact that this world has in its arsenal more than 12,000 nuclear warheads 1, which would obliterate every man, woman, and child on this planet!
It is certainly a scary time in which we live, and I’m willing to accept the possibility that this is Jesus Christ speaking about the prophecy of Daniel 11. A direct reference to the final holy-war between the end-time ‘king of the South’ and the ‘king of the North’ (cf. Daniel 11:40; Revelation 9:13-16).
“ … ‘And there will be famines, …’”
Now, even in our modern society famine occurs – the Vietnamese famine of 1945, a famine that occurred in northern Vietnam in French Indochina during World War II from October 1944 to late 1945 – with official Vietnamese numbers of people dying at 100,000 to 2 million. 2 The Great Chinese Famine of 1959 and 1961 - widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions. 3 Now, so often is the case, famine is a result of war. The refugees that seem to stream out of those war-torn countries often are a result of war. When the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, beforehand, it had been estimated that B-29s dropped 10 million leaflets in May, 20 million in June, and 30 million in July, warning the cities, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, “We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man. … EVACUATE YOUR CITIES. ATTENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE. EVACUATE YOUR CITIES.” This information is hardly known out there in history, and much of our American history, which we did learn in elementary and high school, is no longer being recorded in the textbooks today, or is being rapidly changed. In schools today, they won’t even mention great men like General Dwight D. Eisenhower or General Douglas MacArthur, or even the invasion of Normandy. Major events that took place within the United States of America! But what nation distributes leaflets before you bomb them? We tried to do our best to try and eliminate so many civilian casualties. And not only did those leaflets mention ‘the most destructive explosive ever,’ but they also listed the thirty-five cities we were targeting. Did this place Americans at risk? Yes, of course. But we did this for the people who think that the United States of America was nothing more than a big white man whose doing nothing more than pushing a button, trying to kill all the people around the world. We actually WARNED the cities of Japan and told them to evacuate because we wanted to save as many civilian casualties as possible. We, truly, were after only military targets. But, as I was saying, so often is the case, famine is a result of war.
“… ‘pestilences, …’”
Notice this from the PMC PubMed Central® ──
“2022 Oct 6 … AbstractDespite the fact that we produce enough food to feed everyone on Earth, world hunger is on the rise. On the other side of the table, the obesity crisis also weighs heavily. Malnutrition is less about food than about socioeconomic factors such as conflict, poverty, and global disasters such as climate change and the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nutrition and infectious disease exist in an intricate dance. Adequate and balanced nutrition is critical for appropriate response to infection and any changes in the balance can serve as a tipping point for the next pandemic. On the other hand, pandemics, such as COVID-19, lead to greater malnutrition. Both over- and undernutrition increase severity of disease, alter vaccine effectiveness, and potentially create conditions for viral mutation and adaptation—further driving the disease and famine vicious cycle. These long-term health and socioeconomic repercussions have direct effects at individual and global levels and lead to long-term consequences.” 4
What about ‘earthquakes in various places’? Was our Lord Jesus speaking about earthquakes with a magnitude of less than 3.0 on the Richter scale? Or was He speaking of massive earthquakes occurring towards the end of this present evil age in various places around the globe? Because, logically, we have had earthquakes in various places throughout Earth’s existence for millions of years. Many will argue that there has been an increase in earthquakes, and earthquakes larger than 8.0 are increasing. Peter Shearer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Philip Stark at the University of California, Berkeley ── two people who surely know what they’re talking about ── say, no. They discovered that while the frequency of magnitude 8.0 and higher earthquakes has been slightly elevated since 2004, at a rate of about 1.2 to 1.4 earthquakes per year, the increased rate was not statistically different from what one might expect to see from random chance. 5 What we believe and teach is something akin to what our Lord Jesus said, “ …’ and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26) men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, …’” – Luke 21:25, 26. So, He is talking about MASSIVE EARTHQUAKES THE LIKES OF WHICH THIS EARTH HAS NOT EXPERIENCED BEFORE, OCCURRING IN VARIOUS PLACES!
“’ All these are the beginning of sorrows.’” – Matthew 24:4-8.
Then… notice what immediately occurs after the ‘beginning of sorrows.’ The end-time prophets appear ── They will come on the scene preaching and announcing the soon-coming kingdom of God to the captured and subjugated modern-day nations of Israel! They will be given power by the LORD God “to shut heaven [the atmosphere], so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy [of which they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days]; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire” – Revelation 11:6; see also Revelation 8:7 12.
For they will be proclaiming to the world globalists, elitists, and world leaders ── including ’standing before the god of the earth’ ── warning of the soon-coming kingdom of God throughout “’ the world, as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.’” – Matthew 24:14.
Then… very specific world events will begin to take place just before the start of the ‘great tribulation’ spoken of by our Lord Jesus. A period of time that will be so terrible that it has not happened ‘since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be’ ──
“’ THEREFORE, when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place’ (whoever reads, let him understand), …’” – In verse 20 of Luke 21, “’ But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.’” – and that’s a little key, I think we have to put in the back of our mind! And then in Verse 22 of Luke’s version, he talks about the ‘days of vengeance.’ Doesn’t say, “great tribulation” and he doesn’t say ‘days of affliction’ – he says, the ‘days of vengeance.’ And the question is – whose vengeance? And I contend that it’s probably talking about GOD’S VENGEANCE! God’s justice! A progression of events that lead to the Day of the LORD! “ … ‘let those who are IN JUDEA [modern-day Israel] flee to the mountains, …’”
Verse 17 – “’ Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18) And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19) But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies IN THOSE DAYS! 20) And pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the Sabbath.
Verse 21 – “’ For THEN 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 [God’s chosen physical people] those days will be shortened.’” – Matthew 24:15-22.
Indeed, our Lord Jesus tells us, brethren, that we should watch so that we won’t be caught off guard ──
“’ But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day [the terrible and dreadful Day of the Lord] come on you unexpectedly. 35) For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36) Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape ALL THESE THINGS [in this life] that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man [in His glorious kingdom of God!].’” – Luke 21:34-36. □
