The West is about to be shaken as never before

In Trumpet Blast Warning I write: 

The West is about to be shaken as never before. The question is, are we ready? Are we ready both practically and spiritually?  

And; 

The catalyst for the Great Tribulation will most likely be the total collapse of the global financial infrastructure. The current financial crisis is only the beginning. Out of the ashes of the economic ruins a new global financial system will rise. We can see this taking shape today. Cash will be consigned to history and the only means to buy and sell will be through a digitized system - the prophesied Mark of the Beast.  

Martial law - the imposition of military rule to maintain order - will be instituted. The burgeoning surveillance grid will facilitate the military takeover and implementation of the Mark. The people, desperate for food, will do anything in order to survive. All concerns that the new monetary system might be evil will be silenced through the relief that the people can once again return to a ‘normal life’, once again feed themselves and their families.

As armies control the masses, the world government will take advantage of the crisis, tightening its grip and consolidating its power. Those who refuse to accept the new world order and its economic system will be deemed enemies of the state. They will be apprehended, imprisoned or executed. 

But the Great Tribulation will not just happen overnight, but there will be a lead up to it in which the hour will grow darker and darker. A tribulation then will precede the Great Tribulation and seamlessly merge into it. Just as the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany evolved from 1933 into the Final Solution, so it will be for God’s people during the end times. Tribulation will grow and expand into the Great Tribulation. The Great Tribulation then will be the most intense and turbulent part in a time where a tribulation has already begun. The church will go through this preceding, preparatory phase of trouble. In light of this at what point the church escapes through the rapture during Daniel’s seven years becomes a matter of lesser importance. 

Believers would therefore do better to prepare for what is soon to come than be preoccupied with debating the timing of the rapture.

In Beyond Earthly Realms I write: 

In these last days there is coming, and indeed has already begun, a shaking of everything that we hold dear, everything in which we put our trust. One of the worst times in earth’s history is beginning.  

A societal collapse is coming; the warning signs are all around us. This will be triggered by a combination of key factors. For example; 

-  the continued abandonment of godly morals and values
-  an ongoing failure of moral political leadership
-  equality and human rights movement
-  economic meltdown
-  the advancement of Islam
-  street riots
-  staged crisis events
-  and civil and global wars
