I believe we are now living in the final decade before the seven-year tribulation. If I am correct, it will be the last decade of the Church Age. Sometime during this period those born of the Spirit will be taken to be with the Lord and those left behind will have to go through the great trial on earth that will determine their eternal fate (Rev 3:10). During that trial people will have to get off the fence. They will either call on God so that their soul will be saved or they will follow the Satanic Antichrist.
The Kingdom of God cannot come on earth until all the enemies of Jesus are removed through these tribulation judgements. Those choosing God during the tribulation most likely will be killed. Even so, those that remain faithful will take part in the first resurrection and rule and reign with Jesus in His Kingdom. Those that choose to worship Satan’s Antichrist will be destroyed through the judgments and they will also lose their soul.
If the tribulation starts before the late 2020’s like I surmise, Christians should be seeing the signs. Indeed, some do, but most calling themselves Christians are not even looking for signs of the Lord’s soon return. Institutional Christianity for the most part has departed from sound doctrine and is dead to these things. Blind leaders are leading the blind into trying to reform the satanic world system. They are trying to make Babylon into the Kingdom of God.
That is why such leaders accommodate every sort of worldly evil. They even deny what should be obvious. How can any person in Christ deny that abortion of babies is evil or that marriage is anything but a union between a male and female? How can you ever have a kingdom of God on earth where such evil is accommodated? The New Testament told us this would happen in the last days (2 Tim 3: 1-9, Rom 1). These accommodating Christian leaders are one of the chief signs that we have arrived. These religious leaders are not building the Kingdom of God on earth, they are building the Babylonian Harlot of Revelation 17.
Most churches today hire spiritually immature or spiritually dead people right out of cemetery and reverend them. Beyond all reason, they then call these novice hirelings pastors and elders. Many western churches even make their hirelings into idols. Such idols often get big numbers because the world loves rock stars.
Institutional Christianity in the West is largely led by satanic plants rooted in the world. The weeds are choking out the wheat in many places. Other than the minority rooted in Christ, Christendom has become religious Babylon. Christians need to come out of Babylon. They should not be members of or support religious organizations not firmly rooted in sound biblical doctrine.
Soon the Rapture of true Christians will happen and religious Babylon will applaud. They will rejoice because Bible believers were hindering the building of their false kingdom. With those that hinder them gone, they can have unity based on tolerance for every kind of evil and call it love.
Israel is another sign that the tribulation will start before long. Against all odds, Israel has now occupied the land for 70 years. It is time for Jews to seek to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. For that to happen there first will have to be a peace deal. President Trump wrote The Art of the Deal. I don’t think having the author of The Art of the Deal in position to make a deal is any coincidence. If anyone can make a Middle East deal happen anytime soon, it will be Trump. Trump likely was put in power to get these peace deals made so that prophecy can be fulfilled. A North Korean deal could be a great warmup for a Middle East peace deal.
I think shortly after the deal is made, America will be taken out of the picture for some reason and world governance will shift to Europe. Satan knows scripture and the significance of Israel. He knows when the Jews accept God’s Messiah it would be over for him. He seeks to kill all the Jews to prevent that from happening. If God allows Satan to bring America down, Israel’s protector is gone and all the world Jews end up in one small location. Satan will see that as his opportunity to kill all the Jews. He will find a way to lead all nations against Israel.
What could bring down America within a decade? Civil war becomes a certainty after the Rapture of the Church. A nuclear strike by China or Russia or any grid down scenario would also do the job. Actually, all three become likely after the Rapture.
Another observation that indicates that we are in the final decade before the tribulation is the rise of authoritarianism all over the world. Leftist globalists believe that government needs to control everyone. They are working toward that end using modern technology and using mind control techniques. Just about all high-tech is run by leftist controlled corporations. The talking heads on the major media networks are well paid deep state propaganda agents. They are not journalists. Each day the talking heads read from the same progressive propaganda scripts. They exist to tell people what to think.
The globalists have had a setback with nationalism rising in America and in parts of Europe. Even so, they still control almost all positions of power in the world and they have the means to shut down opposition. They are going tyrannical and they have no qualms about destroying people to achieve their end. Trumped up charges will be used to justify legal actions and the deaths of high-profile people will be made to look like accidents or suicide.
These satanic globalists are in a war against the Christian culture and they have largely already won the war. Any truth from God is under attack. Now comes the ostracizing and the persecution of biblical believers. Christians that express any kind of biblical position will find it increasingly difficult to make a living. There are signs that inquisitions against those not going along with the leftist cultural revolution are already starting even in some Christian institutions and churches.
The date for world governance is still set for 2030. The globalist control freaks are actively working to get major parts of the UN plan in place right now. Only a world revolution against the elitist oligarchy and the deep state that they control could stop them. That revolution is not likely to take place because they already control almost all means of resistance. How many people could go without their smart phone and social medias for even a week? Yet, it tracks everything that people do and feeds them most of their information. We are already living in Orwell’s1984, if you get the drift.
To understand the difficulty of trying to overthrow the globalist tyrants think about how difficult it would be for people in China or North Korea to overthrow the tyrants ruling over them today. Modern weapons and surveillance techniques insure that firmly established tyrannies can only be overthrown through outside military intervention or an act of God. With the rising authoritarianism, government surveillance, control of money, production, food and minds, globalist control is only a couple of years from the point of no return.
Make no mistake, Trump was asked to run and was supported by Christians and constitutionalists opposing the antichrist globalist plan. That is why the leftists hate everything Trump does. If Trump fails or is removed, only a massive bloody worldwide revolution might change what the progressive socialists plan for us.
The soon coming tribulation will clean up the mess on earth that Satan and his followers made. After that, Jesus returns to set up the Kingdom that God had in mind for humans who believe in Him. From all appearances I think we are in the final decade before God’s great clean up begins.
don, your mind is just awesome.
it’s amazing how us born again Christians think alike its almost like the holy spirit is inside of us all, what you said about abortion is right on point. People who claim they are of god but support this demonic crap are beyond delusional.
just look at how russia, iran and syria are getting closer together and the evil things turkeys president is saying about israel… and how the world is about to put thousands of satellites into orbit to control everything and reach all the people of the world. I look around at people and see how blind they are with all the evolution nonsense they talk about its just sad.
i have no doubt that trump is a huge player in the end times its actually pretty obvious if people only were not so blind. Technology wise we are almost there maybe another 10 years like your timeline suggests and it will all be ready for the antichrist to control eevrything.
just an example is the new supercomputer that was just created, it is 100 times faster the last computer that was build only 5 years ago. imagine a supercomputer in 2030 it will have a mind of its own.
This world age is coming to a close. Good riddens to it. All of our Institutions have been corrupted to the core. There is no saving this steamy pile of crap. The world is fallen. We have been called out of it. If anyone thinks saving this is possible you are delusional. I am not a pessimist or an optimist but a realist. You talk about opposition. The first thing they do is establish the opposition , now they control both sides. Create the problem, then offer the solutions.
The Satanic Agenda controls information flow. People only know what their told. I’ve learned not to trust my own thinking nor my feelings. My system is Gods word, the Holy Scriptures. I say the sooner the better. Pope Francis is 81 though. He could still go another 30 years, or maybe there is another false prophet. I am sure that Catholic Church is the great whore who rides the beast. If you really study the Catholic church you will find it a true criminal institution that is sovereign nation. It is the oldest criminal organization on the face of the earth. No wonder evil is hidden by the whore. Evil protects other evil. Ever notice how certain pedophiles are always Roman Catholic, ie Jimmy Savile, John wayne Gacy.
It’s mind boggling.
You put a lot of information into this article. You mention the deaths of key people and I think of the death of Justice Scalia and the attempt to gain complete control of the Supreme Court fit that scenario. There seems to be a lot of prophetic events coming together very rapidly. One developing area, that I find interesting, is the advances in genetic engineering and the articles concerning stopping aging or actually reversing aging. I think that one of the first lies Satan effectively used to Adam and Eve was that they would surely not die. Things are advancing so quickly, the return of our savior cannot be far away.
Hi Alex,
I know about the supercomputer and they are planning to make some five times faster than this one within a couple of years. And who really knows what the black projects of the world already have? What they have probably is so advanced that people could be deceived that the technology is from Aliens. AI along with other deceptions maybe could bring in Babylon the Great and the Beast much sooner than we think.
hey don,
those are exactly my thoughts on technology, it seems to me that the government is way more advanced than we are being told, the new phone from the company RED called hydrogen one is coming out soon and it is way more advanced than my galaxy phone. I has a hologram in it and everything is in 3d. its 2018 and a phone with 3d mapping and hologram is coming already, its like star-trek technology is here.
Klaus,
i agree with everything you said 100% i just learned yesterday how the pharmaceutical companies make money… they literally invent diseases and then they create medicine for the people to buy and cure themselves!! how corrupt do these people have to be to do that kind of garabge to innocent people. I just hope our god comes back for us soon because these demonic spirits are creating havoc.
did u guys hear about this us lab that created half human half chicken embryo? its just gonna get worse from here and i wonder how much will god put up with this craziness.
Psychiatrists are good at making up mental disorders and dispensing drugs to fix it. They will claim believing in spirits is a mental disorder before long.
it also seems like iran is about to start making nucler weapons full force once again and i just can’t help but think about that elam prophecy from Jeremiah, i strongly think the next prophetic thing to happen will be the destruction of those nuclear reactors in elam and that could have a serious reaction from the ezekiel 38&39 players.
Don,
I think you’re absolutely right about the North Korea summit being a prelude to the main event, the Middle East. All the dominos are falling into place for the rapture to occur. As you said, the signs are there. I am continuously amazed at Gods patience, because overall things are rotten to the core. That so many people have been fooled into following Satan’s agenda is what’s really sad and I don’t see that changing. Time is speeding up and the hour is getting short. My prayers go out to the good people out there who are fighting the good fight.
Don,
How can one warn someone without overwhelming them with all of this apparent knowledge? Everything you present is obvious and reasonable, but to an unbeliever less informed, loved ones, friends, how do we present the evidence?
Steve…you read my mind with your question for Don.
I’m working on a tabbed binder for some loved ones with specific material about what is coming connected with personal notes…using some of Don’s clear no nonsense material right off this sight.
Hi Steve and Mark,
I don’t think there is any pat answer to that. Everyone is different so presenters of these things will have to work within their own personality and gifts and also consider the receptivity of their audience. The old saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink seems to fit.
Very good article Don. Maybe Trump will get a peace deal in place in the ME only to leave it unenforced with the rapture occuring. The coming world leader will step in and confirm the peace deal.
I suspect much of Trumps appointments will leave in the rapture which would be the catalyst for the UN to be relocated to Rome.
Its amazing just how many astute christians unanimously agree that we are very close to the end. I’ve never seen anything like it. All the astute pastors I know of have been saying that they feel we are in the final decade or two.
I love how all the forces in the MSM, the GOP, the democrat party, the social media giants, etc etc could not defeat Trump. Quite amazing.
Well Trump got the deal with North Korea now what?
If this was a prelude to Middle East peace deal when will that take place? Also if Trump makes peace deal in Middle East some could be fooled into thinking that is the start of the tribulation and the 7 years of trouble cause they do not understand scripture.
Any case what are your thoughts?
Are we sure the covenant that is confirmed is a peace treaty? To me it would seem to symbolize the Abrahamic covenant or something giving or recognizing the full rights of the holy land/Jerusalem to the Jews. After the Psalm 83/Elam/Gog/Magog Wars, the world will have to undoubtedly confirm or recognize the Jewish inheritance and rebuilding of the Temple/reinstitution of animal sacrifice etc.
Hi Jeremy,
I think Trump said they he would be announcing a Middle East peace plan this summer. I doubt many will see any plan put together as the start of the last seven years. The whole peace process could drag out for years just as it will with North Korea. All we might see this summer is phase one.
Hi Steve,
I have suggested in a previous article that the actual covenant that is confirmed could be with the Vatican in Rome. There still will have to be peace in Jerusalem for the Vatican to even get involved in the administration of the Holy sites. Whatever Trump does now is not the covenant. It is just setting the stage for Middle East peace and a later covenant. The peace process they are trying to work out might not even work out until Iran is dealt with.
Speaking of Iran. I was coming home from LAX and I was talking to my shuttle driver about world events. He was from Iran. He said he usually goes home once a year but won’t this time because of the trouble that’s going on over there. He said a revolution has already basically started, you just don’t hear about it on our news channels. He said the people are fed up with the Mullahs ruining their lives and the people want them gone. Now that the North Korean summit has gone so well, at this juncture anyway, this may give the people of Iran further reason to kick out their Mullahs because they may think Trump might assist them since he has said he is behind them. This is just another piece of the puzzle that is falling into place, moving all the players in the Middle East closer to their respective roles.
Ok, I don’t know if it was on purpose but at the beginning of the 5th paragraph you stated that pastors were being hired right out of the “cemetary”. Now that was funny! I think you may have meant “seminary”.
No need to post this, I just thought you’d like to know. Then again, it seems appropriate and maybe I’m a little slow picking up on your humor!
Hi John,
Your not the first one to mention it. I thought what I was saying in that statement was obvious. Think about it.
Don,
Is there any real substantive evidence that a temple is in the works? I’ve read some articles here and there about people doing reenactments and the like, but have you seen or heard anything? I also read somewhere that the location of where the temple was believed to be may have changed a bit.
Hi Steve,
They have made models of the Temple and have everything they need to build the Temple and to carry out the rituals. They have even tried to lay the cornerstone. Even so, it can only be built when the political climate allows for it to be built. I think they will build it on the correct location. The two witnesses of Revelation may be involved in getting it all correct.

Hi Don,
We have learned from the past 2000 years that history move painstakingly slow. At the rate history is going, we probably still have 3 more decades until the Tribulation which will likely be in the 2050’s.
Hi James,
Technology, population and evil in the world has not been linear. It is now growing exponentially, so maybe you need to move your expectations up a couple of decades.
James,
just look at the moral decay under 8 years of Obama. I saw things in 2016 i never dreamed i would in 2008. Thats only 8 years.
Hello Don,
I can’t believe how evil it has all become. The UN condemning Israel for use of force, just the other day is just another sign of what’s happening and what’s coming down the pike. God help this world! I’m glad I have your site to refer to.
Don,
I saw a headline today about the Trump team proposing their peace plan for the M.E. in August. I could not find or I would have it linked. Is it even possible that this could be the covenant?
If everything were to happen inside of 7 years and there is no gap: 2 witnesses, Gog, etc. Or if Gog is the Antichrist? Perhaps Trump et al present the plan with many agreeing and one of those in agreement or in confirmation of the plan is the Antichrist? Not to name names but Putin comes to mind. He could come down with his newly revived Holy Roman empire at the 3.5 year mark. I believe you touched on that a few years ago.
I would not think that anyone from the Trump team could be the “one”, but who knows? It is a lot to wrap my head around.
Hi Steve,
I do not think any peace deal will be the covenant talked about, but a deal could be confirmed by the person who will become the Antichrist sometime down the line.
I do not think Gog is the Antichrist. As for the rest we will have to see how things shake out. We do not need to have this all figured out. I do not think that is even possible. The Rapture is going to change a lot of things rapidly. At that time there will be a paradigm shift and many things will rapidly change in the world. Until then, much of it is just someone’s speculation.
hey don,
take a look at this article written by a scientist.. its pretty interesting.
https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/109579/israeli-scientist-finds-mathematical-formula-that-proves-prophecy/?utm_source=Breaking+Israel+News&utm_campaign=3da8f045dd-BIN_morning_6_18&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b6d3627f72-3da8f045dd-86923025&mc_cid=3da8f045dd&mc_eid=7076bf6489
Hi Alex,
People coming up with things like this always manipulate subjective data to make it fit. I am sure others would not agree on the locations of Israel’s borders over the years.
Don,
I believe you’re right. There’s only so much we can know for sure and the rest is mostly conjecture. Thanks.
Don,
I agree with your excellent assessment; it closely follows my own.
I believe we’re at the tail end of an 80-year “generation of strength.” Those 80 years are 1948-2028 and based on Psalm 90:10. Israel’s 70th year (2018) commences the final ten years in my view.
Also, ALL of the major pre-70th Week prophetic wars are now in an active process of sequential yet concurrent fulfillment: Isaiah 11, Isaiah 17, Jeremiah 49:23-27 and 34-39 … and Psalm 83 as well.
The current war in Syria is both catalyst and key to the final fulfillment of the others.
I’m going to post a link to this on my Eschatology Today blog.
Hi Sean,
Those are things worth contemplating. By the way Sean, has a very good blog on end time events.
https://eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/
Hi,
Thanks for the link. I don’t trust anything out there unless it comes from someone I trust with a proven track record.
So far, an interesting read. Thanks. Craig
Hi Craig,
Sean’s military perspectives and historical narratives are about the best found among the Bible prophecy teachers and websites.
Funny how when the inspired word of God contains everything needed to know how close we are to the tribulation, that everyone is saying Israel this, Middle east that, to determine the closeness of the end of this system of things. Why can’t you just rely on God’s words? Why do you rely on the words of men for things theocratic? Everything we need to know is in Gods word.
Michael,
We are relying on God’s words. Have you even read the Bible and understood what is said in proper context? Most future unfulfilled prophecy in the Bible relates to Israel. Jesus is returning to Israel to set up His kingdom on earth from Jerusalem and the nations of the world that oppose His return and His rule from Jerusalem Israel will be judged. That is what Jesus the prophets and the apostles say in the Bible.
Hi Don,
What do you think of Israel’s National-State Basic Law getting approved?
https://www.unsealed.org/2018/07/breaking-jewish-nation-state-bill.html
Hi James,
I think Israel is a unique state by God’s definition. Glad the Jews living in the land finally figured it out after 70 years. It is another sign that God will soon start dealing with Israel again for their final seven year fulfillment. Of course, the Rapture of the Church happens first.
This was an awesome article and very uplifting and the comments were informational as well.
I try to tell people too I use opportunities like when a store (in the news) goes completely cashless or when other instances fit I point out how everything is aligning with scripture just before the return of the Lord.
Some make that scoffing sound followed up with “I don’t know about all that” and some agree with me. My neighbor x the street now ask me about heaven, the rapture, it’s been a few yr process of just comments I’ve made when power does go out it’s interesting how the Spirit leads I try to pay attention to the promptings incase it is the Holy Spirit.
I truly hope it’s this decade I’m ready.
I see another red heifer has been born to the temple Institute. I think this is the 3rd one in the last 20 years but may be the first to be qualified for sacrifice. We will see.
Thanks Don. I wish people would post here more for this great article.
It’s June of 2020 and the “peace plan” about to initiate. It’s pretty obvious that this plan will bring anything but. It’s the LORD’s plan from the looks of it. “They’ll cry peace and safety – Then sudden destruction” which is most likely the abomination of desolation. I hope people will take a look at Daniel 11 (book of truth) here at the end of the end. I also hope people will see the truth and repent as our LORD is due shortly. Thanks for the post and allowing me to post.
Hi, Why do you think civil war is a certainty in America after the Rapture of the church?
“They’ll cry peace and safety – then sudden destruction”
Could that be referring to the Abraham Accords being followed by what is happening in the Middle East currently?
Autumnblue,
Nobody was crying peace and safety.
autumblue,
Because the influence of the Church will be gone.
Or could they be crying peace and safety in the sense of “Hey, look at us! There’s now peace and safety in the Middle East” – due to the peace treaty. Obviously, it didn’t last long.
I understand the influence of the church will be gone, but I didn’t put that together with civil war. Degeneration of our social structure and violence, sure.
autumnblue,
The peace and safety statement is talking about the false peace in Israel under the Antichrist. In the midst of those last seven years the Antichrist turns against Israel and sudden destruction will come. We are not in the tribulation yet because there was no Rapture of the Chruch so nothing now applies.
Degeneration of social structures results in civil war. In fact, we are already in a civil war. The Marxists rigged the system, divided America and they have taken over America. Now they are trying to control the resistance. That of course will be met with resistance and that will very much become a hot civil war.
Oh, I see. The Antichrist develops a false peace with Israel and then breaks the treaty, so the prophecy is referring to that. Thank you for the clarity.
I agree with you we are already in a civil war between the marxists and the constitutionalists. It hadn’t occurred to me that after the church was taken, there will still be constitutionalists and “decent” traditional people, though unsaved, who will resist the tyranny.
I’ve been reading the prophecies about Elam and its destruction. Does it happen before the Rapture and do you think what we are witnessing now in the Middle East will trigger that destruction?
Hi autumn blue,
It is hard to say if the prophecies about the destruction of Elam is before the Rapture. I tend to lean that way.
I wrote an article addressing the issue.
