The restrainer is holding back the flood, but not for much longer.
There is so much happening right now that it is almost impossible to keep up.
Israel, Iran, Gaza, Hamas, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, Turkey rising, anti-Israel attacks, chemical explosions, disease outbreaks, oil disruptions, Board of Peace deals, war rumors, and global instability all hitting at the same time.
And people still want to act like everything is normal.
It’s not normal. Normal isn’t coming back. Jesus is!
The world is turning against Israel at an alarming pace, just as prophesied in Scripture in preparation for the rise of the Antichrist.
The nations are desperate for “peace and safety,” and that is exactly the atmosphere Paul warned about in 1 Thessalonians 5:3.
“When they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them.”
Daniel 9:27 is one of the most important verses in Bible prophecy. It indicates that Antichrist does not necessarily create the 7-year covenant, but it infers that he confirms or strengthens the covenant for one week [7-year Tribulation].
That means that when Antichrist gains control of the 10-King empire, he will step up to agree to terms already in place regarding Israel and the Palestinian State. He makes firm an agreement that has already being shaped and in put place.
The framework is being prepared now. Sometimes we can see it clearly, sometimes not.
After the Church is removed, Antichrist will step in and agree to the terms that we’re watching be put into place today, making it look like he has the answer.
But he is not the answer. He is the counterfeit.
The world is stuck right now because the restrainer is still here.
2 Thessalonians 2 tells us the “man of sin” [Antichrist] cannot be revealed until the “restrainer is taken out of the way.”
The “restrainer” in this context is the Holy Spirit working through the Church. Once everything is in place, the Church will be raptured, caught up, and the Holy Spirit’s restraining ministry will be removed to allow the rise of Antichrist and the world enters the seven-year Tribulation, also called the Day of the Lord.
And let’s be clear. The Day of the Lord is not the rapture. The rapture is our “gathering together to Him” in 2 Thessalonians 2:1.
Then Paul changes the subject in verse 2 to the Day of the Lord, which is the Tribulation period. The Church is removed before that day begins.
Revelation 6 shows Jesus opening the seals. That means that God’s wrath begins with the first seal, at the very beginning of the Tribulation, not halfway through the Tribulation. By the sixth seal, the world finally recognizes what has already been happening and cries out, “Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.”
The Bride is not here for that. Halleluiah!
The Tribulation is not normal hardship. It is not just war, politics, or economic stress. It is supernatural judgment. Seals, trumpets, bowls, death, famine, pestilence, demonic torment, cosmic signs, and the wrath of God poured out on a Christ rejecting world.
That is why Jesus said to watch and pray to be accounted worthy to escape all these things and stand before the Son of Man. Luke 21:36.
The rapture is close. The signs are everywhere with the greatest sign being Israel.
God’s prophetic time-clock is Israel.
Prophecy teachers have been warning for years that America’s support of Israel will need to diminish by the start of the Tribulation. That’s because God wants Israel to face their enemies alone in the Tribulation.
The current cultural debate over Israel inside America being led by Tucker Carlson and others is another indication of eroding American support for Israel.
What’s behind this?
Satan has stirred America’s enemies to drive a wedge between America and Israel.
You may get the impression that America’s current, cultural-clash over Israel is all due to the anti-Israel rants of Tucker Carlson. Not so. He’s a third-tier pawn.
The enemy is behind it who is using America’s greatest enemies to weaken our support for Israel. And it’s working.
The broader Chinese-Russian-Iranian-Qatari propaganda narrative is this:
American global dominance must end.
They want a multipolar world where China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and others share power.
To get there, America’s alliance with Israel must be broken.
So they deceptively package anti-Israel narratives inside popular American causes and slogans:
“America First,” anti-corruption, anti-Epstein, anti-foreign influence, pro-Constitution, etc.
These become their Trojan horse inside American culture.
The goal is to convince Americans that Israel, one of America’s greatest allies, is actually its greatest enemy.
To do this they hire pawns to use recycled conspiracy theories and long debunked tropes put out by some of America’s most popular podcasters.
Do not be deceived. Do not fall for it. It’s a lie.
But it’s also a sign the end is near.
Don’t panic. Don’t fear.
Share the gospel. Put Bibles in people’s hands. Warn while there is still time.
Because once the Bride goes up, the world will never be the same!
