Did Oct 7, 2023 start The 10 days (years) of awe for Israel?

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Don Koenig

My Revelation Commentary suggests that there are 10 years from the Rapture of the Church, and the opening of the first seal, until the physical 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (not just 7 years). That ten years may or may not actually turn out to be the case. Even so, in Judaism, there are 10 days of awe where Jews are to repent so that their sins are covered before they appear before God. I believe these 10 days of awe may also represent 10 years to get the nation of Israel that have returned, but are still in unbelief, time to repent before the appearing of her Messiah.… continue reading

Second coming in 2030’s – Rapture 7 to 10 years sooner

Posted on October 2, 2023 by Don Koenig

Some 25 years ago I started The Prophetic Years website with my writing of 25 articles on world trends pointing to the soon return of Jesus Christ. The various world trends all correlated to suggested to me that the Lord would return in the early 2030’s. And because I believe the scriptures teach a pre-trib rapture before the seven seals in Revelation are opened, the rapture of the spirit born Church would occur 7 to 10 years sooner. I believe this should occur by the mid 2020’s.

Today, in late 2023 it still looks to me like these events will be fulfilled in the timeline that I suggest.… continue reading

Don Koenig’s 2021 Bible prophecy and geopolitical update

Posted on May 21, 2021 by Don Koenig

Obviously the geopolitical situation in the world is now rapidly changing. I think this will continue, because the final stage setting before tribulation events begin to play out is underway. The stage setting will be followed by the rise in Europe of the little horn mentioned by Daniel and the riding of the four horsemen of Revelation. At that time, Gog will also expand its influence in the area of the old Soviet Union.

Keep your eye on France. There is a Catholic right wing anti-immigrant anti-Islamic movement rising rapidly. Marine Le Pen of the National Front political party (now called the National Rally) may even win the spring 2022 presidential election.… continue reading

Great Reset with persecution of Christians or first another world war?

Posted on March 12, 2021 by Don Koenig

Globalist totalitarian fascism is progressing across the globe so rapidly that the world will be in an either or situation very soon. Either the world globalizes under the Global Reset program being pushed by the elitists, or this agenda will fail because we will be in a world war in short order.

I think there must be a world war because things are just not fully set up yet for prophetic events to play out as written. I also do not think we can get there through just the Great Reset plan. Besides that, what is now occurring on earth is obviously being orchestrated by spiritual rulers in high places.… continue reading

Tribulation begins in 2020’s and ends with second coming in 2030’s

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Don Koenig

For decades I have said that various world trends suggest that the tribulation would begin in the 2020’s making the second coming in the 2030’s. Recent events in the world seem to make that timing even more likely. By the way, that world trends page above was my total original website 20 years ago.

I have been a critic of Dr. Tom Horn because some of his books suggested that the Antichrist would rise almost a decade ago. Even so, one of his latest books called The Wormwood Prophecy has me wondering if there could be any truth to his conjecture that the asteroid Apophis could fulfill the Wormwood prophecy in 2029.… continue reading

Economic collapse and world war may occur alongside coronavirus pandemic

Posted on March 27, 2020 by Don Koenig

Could world war be coming in addition to the economic downturn and the coronavirus pandemic? The Spanish Flu killed about three percent of the population on earth and it started during World War I. That flu killed many more people than did the war. One could argue that such happenings are a judgement from God. It does seem that God purges the earth occasionally to keep evil from totally taking it over. The reaction to the novel coronavirus is about to destroy all the economies of the Western World and evil dictators are likely to see the Western panic as their big opportunity.… continue reading

Trucking through unchartered territory until the four horsemen ride

Posted on March 13, 2020 by Don Koenig

I believe the four horsemen of the apocalypse begin their ride before this decade is over. If I am correct, it should not be surprising that the days leading up to those catastrophic Revelation events would not see business as usual on the earth. As you already know, all of a sudden the foundations of the world order are being shaken because of the Wuhan corona virus outbreak. The world seems on the brink of unraveling whether the actual health impact of the coronavirus turns out to be over-hyped or not.

What a difference a few weeks make. The Dow Jones was pushing 30000 a few weeks ago and now it is down around 22000.… continue reading

Black swans could poop on Trump’s 2020 election expectations

Posted on February 28, 2020 by Don Koenig

Black swans are unforeseen happenings that come out of nowhere and change the course of events in the world. I think one or more black swans could change the course of the 2020 national election. As things stand now, President Trump would be reelected and the Republicans would gain control of both houses of Congress, but one or more black swans could poop on Republican expectations.

Republicans should not become overconfident because this nation continues on a leftward march. Before the 2018 midterm elections the conservative talking heads were saying the Republicans would retain the House. The Republicans lost and elections have consequences.… continue reading

The 2020’s will turn out to be a prophetically fateful decade

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Don Koenig

I am not going to make specific predictions for 2020 but I believed we have now arrived to the decade of the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Shortly after the Rapture the tribulation period will occur followed by the fulfillment of all Bible prophecy related to the second coming of Jesus Christ. I think most of the end times prophecies will be fulfilled in the 2030’s although the four horsemen of Revelation probably will ride in the 2020’s.

I could be wrong about the tribulation starting in the 2020’s, but if I am, I don’t think it will prove to be of much comfort to those living through this decade.… continue reading

The mystery of Babylon the kingdom counterfeit of Satan

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Don Koenig

One of the great mysteries of the Bible is how the prophecies about Babylon are to be fulfilled. The major prophecies about Babylon are found in Isaiah 13-14 & 47, Jeremiah 50-51 and Revelation 17-18. Most just focus on the Revelation prophecies and ignore the Old Testament prophecies about Babylon. Even so, any prophecies that have not already been fulfilled about Babylon in the OT still must be literally fulfilled.

If you study all the prophecies about Babylon, you should see the parallel in Revelation to what is said in the OT. The OT prophets make it abundantly clear that Babylon is a literal city located on the plains of Shinar.… continue reading

Prophecy about Elam to be fulfilled by a coalition of nations attacking Iran

Posted on September 27, 2019 by Don Koenig

With Iran in the news and acting belligerent, it is appropriate to look at the possibility of the prophecy about Elam being fulfilled soon. Elam is in the southwestern part of Iran along the Persian Gulf. It is where Iran’s main nuclear reactor is located.

Jer 49:35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

Surviving the next decade becoming unlikely for most Americans

Posted on March 1, 2019 by Don Koenig

Americans have become a very foolish people living under false security. They think life will go on as usual while they commit abominations, open our borders to drugs and socialists, and enable slime to rise out of the sewers to erode the pillars of our foundation. If this continues, most Americans will not survive the next decade.

Americans seem to have no clue about what will happen here if the godless left takes power again? What if some of the polices of the people controlling the Democratic Party actually went into law in 2021 and beyond? Just the expanded give away programs and high taxes would bring down our economic system.… continue reading

Putting together the Ezekiel 38 39 coalition that invades Israel

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Don Koenig

It looks like the Ezekiel 38 39 coalition of nations that comes against Israel in these latter days is now being formed. For various reasons I do not believe Gog will pull off this invasion of Israel for a number of years yet. Nevertheless, if this invasion is going to happen within the next decade like many students of Bible prophecy believe, the alignment we see forming has to occur.

Russia is presently gearing up for what Putin believes is inevitable war with the West. Putin has aligned himself with the Russian Orthodox Church and thinks of himself as a Christian Savior figure that stands against the Western antichrists.… continue reading

Peace Prize candidates or evil tyrants exploiting rope-a-dopes?

Posted on May 7, 2018 by Don Koenig

People are acting as if peace has already been achieved between the Korea’s. Some think Trump ought to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. This irrational exuberance is happening just because Kim Jong-un says he will stop the nuclear development program if America agrees not to try to overthrow his regime. People have short memories. North Korea has played America like a fiddle for decades.

It’s pretty obvious why Kim Jong-un announced this. He wants the sanctions lifted and Xi Jinping of China probably convinced him to use the nuclear disarmament card to get others to modernize his nation. North Korea’s nuclear program would have been delayed anyway because the mountain where the nuclear tests were conducted collapsed.… continue reading

We do not have Bible prophecy all figured out so watch and pray

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Don Koenig

We all need to watch and pray because we really do not know how everything will shake out as we near the end of the age. I think a few surprises are in store for us before the great tribulation.

It now looks like Israel and Iran will be going at it. Iran has almost 100,000 troops in Syria and they now are threatening Israel. Israel said they will not allow Iran to establish military bases in Syria but Iran is establishing them anyway. If Iran does not reverse policy, Israel will soon strike Iranian threats in Syria. When that happens, Iran is likely to launch attacks against Israel.… continue reading
