Unveiling the Prophetic Tapestry: Current Events in Biblical Eschatology.
Join us on a journey through today's headlines and their connections to biblical end times, from red heifers to CBDCs, as we navigate the signs of the last days and the imminent return of Jesus.
For many in the Christian faith, there’s a sect of us who are vigilantly focused on eschatological events. If you’re paying attention to present-day news, you’ll understand why we’re excited. We are truly living in the last days as described in biblical prophecy, and it's unfolding right before our eyes. However, if you haven't been following the news, you may ask what I'm referring to. It's quite simple. Israel is at war with the terrorist group "Hamas," which also means Israel is at war with Iran.
This is significant because Iran is a direct ally of Russia. Additionally, as suggested in this video, there’s the inevitable involvement of Hezbollah, which could get involved in the war with Israel. This is just one way we’re seeing events align with the biblical timeline. For believers paying attention to the signs, we know that Jesus's return is imminent. But it's important to understand what's involved with this kind of rhetoric. When we talk about biblical prophecy or the timeline for Christ's return, we aren’t simply pulling at threads from an illogical standpoint. What we are stating and expressing through various mediums is rooted in both current news and biblical prophecy that has either been fulfilled, has yet to be fulfilled, or looks like it’s on the horizon of being fulfilled. Where we currently sit on the timeline is remarkable for a number of reasons, but mostly because it means Jesus is coming back soon. With that in mind, here are some of the top eschatological concerns to be aware of.
Arguably, one of the most significant present-day concerns to pay attention to is the "red heifers." They are quickly approaching their two-year-and-one-day-old mark. It's important to be aware that if they continue their current trend and remain "blemish-free," they’ll be acceptable for sacrifice as early as next spring, according to some reports and speculation.
If they are indeed sacrificed, it will mark the beginning of the Jewish sacrifices mentioned in biblical prophecy. There's some speculation about whether the sacrifices will initially be offered in the rebuilt third temple or in the Tabernacle. However, some biblical mandates specify how this should take place. The Mosaic Law specified that the red heifer should be "without defect or blemish" and should have never borne a yoke. The sacrifice of the red heifer was unique in that it used a female animal, it was sacrificed away from the entrance to the Tabernacle, and the color of the animal was specified. The slaughtering of the red heifer is described in Numbers 19:1–10. Eleazar, the priest, was to oversee the ritual outside the camp of the Israelites. After the animal was killed, Eleazar was to sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tabernacle seven times.
Then, he left camp and oversaw the burning of the red heifer's carcass. As the red heifer burned, the priest added some cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool to the fire. The ashes of the red heifer were collected and stored in a clean place outside the camp. These ashes were used in the water of cleansing for purification from sin. The law detailed when and how the ashes of the red heifer were used in purifying those who came into contact with a dead body. It's important to note that when talking about this excerpt, Eleazar was to oversee the ritual outside the camp of the Israelites. After the animal was killed, Eleazar was to sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tabernacle seven times.
Well, It just so happens that a plot of land on the Mount of Olives overlooking that area has already been bought and set up by Byron Stinson on behalf of the Israeli Jews who would be responsible for the sacrificing of the red heifers.
”Stinson explained that a sacrifice does not necessitate a new temple. It can also be conducted at a certain height and direction – and the plot on the Mount of Olives meets these requirements.”

Here's an excerpt from an article by Nomi Prins, delving into the concept of a "cashless society" through Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs. Regrettably, the article doesn't present any tangible benefits for the American populace. However, the reality is that the transition to CBDCs seems inevitable, and we'll have to confront this challenge head-on. Realistically, we're left with no other choice at this stage.
The passage from Romans 13:12 (NKJV) emphasizes The day is at hand, and the night is far spent! With this in mind, let's explore the excerpts.
The G20 leaders convened in New Delhi with the ominous theme of "One Family, One Earth, One Future." This theme is unsettling because it appears to signify global elites' ambitions to shape a uniform future, a one-size-fits-all world.
A condensed version of an article reveals the Digital Payments Initiative (DPI), which encompasses three core elements: digital ID, a data-sharing platform, and a real-time fast payment system. While digital IDs may offer convenience, they also raise concerns about government surveillance and data security. The data-sharing platform, although in its early stages, may potentially become centralized, creating trust issues. The real-time fast payment system enables instant transactions and can be managed by governments, central banks, or public-private partnerships. Notably, the article highlights that 98 central banks are planning to digitalize their currencies, with over 80% of global banks exploring digital currency. A staggering 130 countries, representing 98% of global GDP, are considering digital currencies. While CBDCs offer potential benefits like financial innovation, they come with significant risks. Governments could utilize CBDCs for real-time tax enforcement, potentially leading to increased taxes. Moreover, digital dollars might accrue interest, potentially causing higher inflation. Additionally, CBDCs could grant governments more control, potentially allowing them to restrict transactions based on certain criteria.

Various factors lead us to a crucial point that ties back to the biblical concept of the mark of the beast. It's imperative that we, as a society, remain vigilant regarding biblical prophecy. There are ideas that align with the ultimate goal, which is defining the mark of the beast during the tribulation period. These ideas span from the physical to the technological realm. Two prominent ideas that intertwine are "Implantable RFIDs" and "CBDCs." So, why does this matter? It's straightforward. As a society, we might soon find ourselves compelled to adopt CBDCs and, eventually, implantable devices. However, this is a process that will unfold over time. Initially, they have to get you nice and comfortable in your stove-top Jacuzzi deathbed! And by the time you figure out the mounting trouble you’re truly in. it’ll be curtains for you and thousands of others…
In our current governmental landscape, we are in the phase known as "The FedNow." Nonetheless, sources suggest that it's not precisely a CBDC; it serves as a transitional point in the economic landscape. This juncture is pivotal in our current world. We must grasp the season we find ourselves in and recognize that we are closer than ever to the return of Jesus. The news headlines and associated outlets have been abuzz like never before, covering topics such as wars, rumors of wars, economic turmoil, and nations grappling with natural disasters. Nations are forging peace treaties and forming alliances, exemplified by B.R.I.C.S. There are even discussions about reinstating animal sacrifices and the reconstruction of Solomon's temple for the third time. New stories are emerging both nationally and globally, substantiating the notion that we are genuinely living in the last of the last days as depicted in biblical eschatology.
