End times discussion: Matthew 24:5-14 NKJV

quote:

---

For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will 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. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how current events (AI, digital currency, globalism/WEF, geopolitical issues, etc.) will mesh with end times biblical prophecy.

My understanding of how things will unfold is:
Wars, famines, diseases, & natural disasters will see a huge uptick.
God will pour his spirit onto the earth as a way to get believers into/back into good graces.
The Rapture will take place.
A leader will emerge to calm the global population. This will be the Antichrist. He/she will be a leader who has had past success leading.
The global population will be required to accept the “mark of the beast” in order to trade, work, use public services, etc.
The antichrist will name a world spiritual leader. Religion will be a mix of various paganisms & spirituality…kind of like Universal Unitarianism.
Things will go fine for 3.5 years, at which time the antichrist will really crack down on the population and chaos will ensue for the final 3.5 years. The “Beast” will be in control during this period.
At the 7 year mark, Christ will return for the final battle (Armageddon?).
Then Christ will reign on earth for 1000 years.

For the tribulations to be what we expect, a totalitarian globalist government will have to be in place along with digital currency.

Some think the Beast will be AI driven.

Pretty much all of the things the bible tells us will come to pass with increasing frequency are happening today.

It feels like we’re getting pretty close to Gabriel blowing his trumpet.

I’m not sure why I wrote this, or why I’m hoping for a civil conversation…but what are your deep thoughts on the end times?
