The 21st Century has marked the beginning of God's physical judgment upon this wicked and unbelieving world.
Who am I to tell you anything? Well, I'm so far from perfect, you wouldn't believe. Many before me were called, but the chosen are few. I am simply a servant of God who answered the call to serve. When I accepted this assignment, I did not question God's judgment and neither should you. Thus it is my duty to warn you of these last and evil days.
In case you haven't noticed, today's world operates on hellish principles. Too many people worship the golden calf; the money gods of this world. The enemy's reign is almost over. The signs of our impending doom are all around us if we just look.
Political leaders and legislators, men and women who hold positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention focused upon the events taking place around us. Sadly, many of these very leaders are the ones directly or indirectly responsible for the current state of world affairs.Then there are these Biblical plagues in today's times:
Water into blood (דָם): Exodus 7:14–24
On August 5, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) personnel released toxic wastewater into Cement Creek in a Colorado nature reserve. Workers accidentally destroyed the dam holding back the pond, spilling three million gallons of wastewater, including heavy metals and toxic elements, such as arsenic, into scenic Cement Creek, turning it bright orange.
Off the coast of California, an ongoing toxic algae bloom, one of the largest known, has turned parts of the water into an unusual color. The algae, Pseudo-nitzschia, gives the water a brown-green tinge and produces domoic acid, a powerful neurotoxin.

Lice (כִּנִּים): Exodus 8:16–19

There has been a resurgence of lice in America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates lice now affects 6-12 million children, age 3-11, in the US each year. However, experts predict that number is about to jump even higher. Mutations are making lice immune to permethrin, the active ingredient in many over-the-counter remedies. Lice in 25 states in America are now resistant to permethrin. There has also been an unexplained rise in head-lice among teenagers.
Wild animals (עָרוֹב): Exodus 8:20–21
With new housing encroaching on wild habitats and eco-tourism becoming popular, wild animal attacks have been steadily on the rise around the world. Where animals and humans come in contact, more attacks are being reported, like the recent rash of attacks in a park in Kashmir that killed seven people.
Residential area Huntington Beach in California has reported almost 20 coyote attacks against domestic animals every month, and the trend is growing worse. Similarly, after a 20-year ban, Florida is considering legislation that may permit bear hunting in order to stop the expanding population of black bears that are becoming a menace in suburban neighborhoods.
This particular plague seems to have taken hold in pop-culture too. “Zoo” is a new American television series about a mysterious pandemic of wild animal attacks caused by a man-made virus.
Diseased livestock (דֶּבֶר): Exodus 9:1–7
Nineteen years after the first outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, Canada and America are just now opening their markets to European beef. So great is the threat that USAID has invested $320 million over the last decade on controlling animal diseases, and they are increasing their investment by $50 million in order to fight the threat of animal borne Ebola Virus.
Boils (שְׁחִין): Exodus 9:8–12

We are much closer to this plague than ever before as, counter intuitively, it may be our medical expertise that will bring us crashing down. The US Department of Defense is currently investigating possible mishandling of samples of anthrax and bubonic plague in its laboratories. The samples were shipped to other labs, including those outside of the United States. It would not take much human error or nefarious plots to release these nightmares. Also, have you noticed how many Eczema commercials are on television these days?
Inexplicably, millions of people are mysteriously dying. Swine flu (which is the old influenza from the 1930s) has even been resurrected for this purpose. Haven’t you noticed how so many young people today are dying from heart attack, stroke, respiratory failure, cancer and other ways that usually occur in persons of advanced age? Doesn’t this strike you as odd?
Thunderstorm of hail and fire (בָּרָד): Exodus 9:13–35
A United Hatzalah worker at the Western Wall in Jerusalem during a recent snowstorm.
According to Jewish midrash, a collection of parables and oral tradition that explain the Bible, the hail that fell on Egypt was miraculous, described as ice that contained fire. Last month, Israel was in the midst of the worst dust storm in its history, accompanied by unseasonably hot weather. Suddenly, in the middle of a heat wave, ice fell from the sky. Israelis were pelted by a hailstorm and torrential rains in a manner that baffled weather experts.
Locusts (אַרְבֶּה): Exodus 10:1–20
In March of 2015, just before the holiday of Passover commemorating the Exodus from Egypt, southern Israel was overrun by a mini-plague of locusts, as if the Children of Israel were being treated to a sneak preview before the Seder night.
In July 2015, Russia declared a state of emergency when its southern farm region was hit by the swarm of locusts that devoured 10 percent of the crops. Though locusts are not uncommon in this region, local farmers say it was the worst they have seen in over 30 years, blaming it on high temperatures and flooding rather than divine wrath.
Death of firstborn (מַכַּת בְּכוֹרוֹת): Exodus 11:1–12:36
As fantastic as it may sound, there are today known diseases that target the first-born. Recent studies found that first born children, especially males, have a higher risk for diabetes, crib death and other metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Other diseases, such as Pyloric stenosis, are found to be four times more likely to be present in first-born males.
While awaiting answers, we continue to have a child-like trust in our leaders. Many of us are watching the strained, restless relations that exist between countries. Thousands observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and realize that something great and decisive is about to happen--it appears that the world is on the verge of its most tremendous crisis. What will happen to us? How do we prepare?
Being ready depends on where you plan on being when the time comes. Where will you be when Christ returns? Will you be in the strip club? Maybe you will be online engaging in some type of UnGodly activity. Will you be found in bed next to someone's husband or wife? Will you be smoking a blunt or blaming it on the al-al-al-alcohol? Will you still be lying, stealing, cheating and hurting folks to stay on top?
In the Garden of Eden, the tree Adam and Eve ate from (and mankind continues to eat from) is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is the knowledge of right and wrong, success and failure, life and death, past and future.
Adam and Eve like many people today, thought that the grass looked greener on the other side of the garden (lusting and coveting). They saw their bodies and felt naked for the first time. (Sexual immorality) They saw death and started worrying about dying. This knowledge of good and evil caused human beings to develop a "spirit of worry" (worrying about what we should wear, what we will eat, where we will sleep). We began to "worry" about life instead of living it. Did you know that God's people don't worry about things even in these difficult financial times? Why? Because He makes a way out of no way.
Perhaps you have been in a situation in which you saw no way out, or no means of escape. It could be that there is someone reading this today who is in such a situation. It could be that you have a terminal illness, a financial situation, a relationship issue, some impending danger, or threat, the loss of a job, a temptation, or some other situation that only you and God know about. If you are not in some kind of situation herein described, and you think this message does not apply to you, take notice. The time may come when you too will be looking for a way out of some particular situation, and be calling upon our Heavenly Father to make a way.
The Bible saysin Genesis 3:22: “Behold the man has become as one of us to know good and evil, now lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever.”
The key word is “live,” not just exist. You can live in Christ forever and in heaven forever. You can live your remaining days on earth worry-free if livedright. The key word here is "right." You must have a right mind, right heart, and right intentions. Proverbs 6:16 -19 makes this a little clearer.
17haughty eyes, (Walking around conceited and puffed up; assuming people are beneath you because you have more money, power or beauty)
a lying tongue, (Lying is a habit and like all other habits, it can be broken)
hands that shed innocent blood, (gangbangers, murderers, those who hurt children)
18a heart that devises wicked schemes,(those always plotting, scheming, conning people on the net)
feet that are quick to rush into evil,(followers, people easily led, those who promote drama)
19a false witness who pours out lies(those who will knowingly lie on another person either to save themselves or another).
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.(troublemakers, gossipers, instigators)
Yet, mankind continues engaging in sinful behavior because it seeks satisfaction from things of this world that are incapable of satisfying.
Further confirmation is found in the book of Revelations,
"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."Revelations 2:7
In other words, when you overcome the lusts of your heart, delusions of your mind; the corrupt manifestations and ideals that this world has filled you with only then will you see life as it truly is, and life itself will fulfill you. The metaphor of life as fruit or food means life, when truly seen, it will nourish and sustain you.
Many of you are living in a dream world. You live vicariously through video games, television and the internet. Such diversions allow one the opportunity to escape reality and act out fantasies instead living in your reality. Sometimes this surreal experience is intensified by introducing elements of drugs and/or alcohol into the mix. Content in our "make-believe" world, you blissfully sleep while life goes on around you. You have found happiness...or so you think. Ignorance is like a blissful sleep. Many of you are still...asleep.
The Bible says in many places like the scriptures below that mankind is sleeping and needs to wake up:
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11
"Behold I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed."1 Corinthians 15:51
"Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."Ephesians 5:14
It took us ten thousand years to get into a position to see and understand the knowledge and be able to eat from the tree of life. Eating from the tree of life will not be as easy as biting into an apple. It will require taking control of our carnal mind and putting our Spirit man FIRST.
Truth First: If you do not understand the way the world works, how can you overcome it? Greater is He who is in you, than he that is in the world.
DO NOTBUY THE LIE
The mind does not opt to do stupid things, yet LYING to oneself is about as stupid as you can get. Today's world is full of deceit and trickery. Nothing is as it appears. In today's world money can buy anything. We have men who are really women and women who are really men. We can have the body we want, the face we want, the house we want, the car we want, and many times even the mate we want...all for a price. When we put on false exteriors to "fool" people into thinking we are something that we are not, we are operating on Satanic principles. Satan is a liar. Youth today have bought into today's Satanic doctrine of corporate-led consumerism. Young people have committed (and continue to commit) horrible crimes in order to have the money to purchase these overpriced tools of Satan so that “no one on the corner has swagger like us.” The entertainment industry is nothing more than a celebrity buffoon pageant flaunting instant gratification and the promotion of corporate garbage that advocates plastic lifestyles and wasteful, destructive behavior. Is there any hope in this lifetime? Yes!
The End of the World
The Bible gives us the truth about what is really happening, it says that Angels are even nowrestraining the winds of strife, that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom. But there is a storm gathering, ready to burst upon the earth; and when God shall tell His angels loose the winds, there will be a scene of strife that no pen can picture.
The events taking place today are a precursor to the final events which even by their approach cause the earth to tremble and men's hearts to fail them for fear.
"Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. . . . They have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant."
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." 2 Peter 3:3-7
Even with all the signs that are taking place, there are STILL people who laugh at the idea that this world will come to an end. And just like in the days of Noah, those people laughed, drank and "partied" until the end.
The Bible showed how during the flood, despite God having left abundant evidence people were STILL "willingly ignorant" of what was happening around them. Today's world is ignorant of the fact that God's great love for us has caused Him to grant us a little more time to repent of our sins.
Here's a start:
1. Get right with God. You should start by getting rid of unGodly soul ties, Soul ties are anything or anyone that binds or causes you to sin. You cannot serve two masters (both sin and God). Having one's soul tied to an unGodly person is the hardest tie to break. I know this firsthand. But I also know that it can be done. The first step is eliminating that person from your existence. You can do this by changing your contact information, blocking their contact, not communicating with them or allowing them to visit or call. When you feel weak, pray for yourself and THEM. In times of boredom find an activity like reading or watching a movie. Remove all things this person has given you from your home. If you have had sexual intimacy with this person avoid reliving the moment (fantasizing about the person). Get rid of all pornographic materials and/or films or books with sexual innuendo. You also want to avoid masturbation which can really mess you up spiritually. All of these are doorways; that once opened allow the "soul tie" to reenter your mind and spirit.
2. This is a very selfish time we are in. How many Luis Vuitton purses, Louboutins and other high-priced designer gear does one need to feel secure? Learn to live with less so others you can bless. Some of your neighbors are hungry, cold or even facing eviction. The "Me" generation is a selfish and ungodly concept for living. How can one see a neighbor or stranger hungry and not have the heart to help?
3. Get your household in order. Act like a parent first and a friend second. Talk to your children, but more importantly, LISTEN to your children.
4. Pray and fast, get right with God before He destroys sinners off of the earth the second time.
