Tick Tock To Midnight- The Man Of Sin, The Lawless One

by Les Pruitt

  California experienced three major earthquakes ranging from 6.5 to 8 on the Richter scale. Parts of San Francisco Bay look like scenes from an apocalyptic movie; surely this has to be fake news.

  The president has been reluctant to respond to this state of national emergency. Many say it was because of California’s desire to secede from the United States due to Trump’s unlawful crackdown on immigrants in sanctuary zones. And the Trump Administration’s failure to support the devastated island of Puerto Rico tends to display elements of his racist domestic policy. Again, let’s be reminded, the characteristics of the adversary are to divide God’s Church and interfere in moral responsibilities of a nation for its inhabitants.

  Hopefully, humanity is not witnessing the last days, but are we supposed to believe every lying deception—an estimated 3,500 lies and counting? What if President Trump is clearly a master of manipulation—a psychopath or something more sinister?

  But the scriptures remind us: “This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged … For the battle is not yours, but God’s” (2 Chron. 20:15). “For our struggle is not against human opponents, but against rulers, authorities, cosmic powers in the darkness around us, and evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm” (Eph. 6:12, ISV).

  For reasons not fully known at this moment, the Catholic Church began to humble itself, cleaning out its swamp of corruption and sins. The pope has begun airing special news announcements around the world, concerning the seven seals of Revelation.

  Global Warning—2019: The first four of the seven seals are known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first seal introduces the Antichrist (Rev. 6:1–2). The second seal causes great warfare (Rev. 6:3–4). The third of the seven seals causes famine (Rev. 6:5–6). The fourth seal brings about plague, further famine, and further warfare (Rev. 6:7–8).

  Generally speaking, humankind might have already entered this apex of end times with the advent of the war on terror. These current wars, though they may be small in scale, are resulting in catastrophic humanitarian crises. In addition, the relocation of the American Embassy and the future third temple project for Jerusalem have the potential of plunging the world into global conflict; meanwhile, the president of the United States and his family celebrate.

  It’s a first for a sitting American president to admit on public television that he never felt the need to pray or ask God for forgiveness. What manner of man could this be, an elected official to the highest office of the land in a Christian nation? For now, the Man of Sin, the Lawless One, fits perfectly to his character and leadership, unless his future role changes after the third temple is opened. What if Israel embraces Trump as their messiah? This surely would send shockwaves throughout the civilized world.

  North Koreans continue to call on China, Russia, and South Korea to get President Trump to understand diplomacy in order to avoid military conflict. North Korean President Kim Jong-un demanded a halt to all military training operations along the Demilitarized Zone and the withdrawal of US troops from South Korea—before denuclearizing its nuclear program.

  Recently, John Bolton, President Trump’s national security advisor, clashed with North Korean President Kim Jong-un over denuclearization. And Bolton reiterated President Trump’s bottom line: the answer is not terminating all military drills and withdrawing American troops from South Korea before denuclearization.

  Additionally, a high-level official within the State Department informed Mike Dees of the Associated Press that President Trump has withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal. America’s withdrawal will surely aggravate conflicts between Israel and Iran.

  If biblical scripture is true, then it’s refreshing to know that prophecy is on track and our Lord and Savior is on his way, judging by the signs of global disasters, wars, and natural phenomena.

  Unnamed sources stated that President Trump and China’s president have compromised on a failed strategy to contain North Korea. A major part of their plan was to allow China time to build a great wall barrier to prevent a massive influx of North Korean refugees, before taking any military action against the North. Another part of their deal was for America to compromise with China on the South China Sea Islands for the shipment of goods without maritime restrictions.

  Global Warning—2019: The fifth seal tells us of those who will be martyred for their faith in Christ during the end times (Rev. 6:9–11). God hears their cries for justice and will deliver them in His timing—in the form of the sixth seal, along with the trumpet and bowl judgments. When the sixth of the seven seals is broken, a devastating earthquake occurs, causing massive upheaval and terrible devastation—along with unusual astronomical phenomena (Rev. 6:12–14). Those who survive are right to cry out, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (Rev. 6:16–17).

  Back in September of 2019, many media outlets began reporting that the fabled ISIL leader, Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi, was alive after a massive airstrike by Syria’s Air Force.

  Reliable sources at Al Jazeera stated he barely escaped a Russian-backed operation of the Syrian armed forces to kill or capture him. Now, the intelligence community seems to suggest that Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi or his successor issued a new Islamic Fatwa, calling for the newly formed Arab alliance against Israel and Jerusalem to unite and focus their sights on destroying the Jewish capital in Jerusalem as well.

  There are reports of a surge in the slaughter of Jews and Christians in many Arab countries, especially in Jerusalem because of Israel’s removal of both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

  The previous location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock is the location where Jewish Zionists plan to construct the third temple. Somehow, Jared Kushner—who initiated President Trump’s plan with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia—survived a grand jury indictment for money laundering.

  News Flash—2019: Rumor or fake news of the day is now growing over the possibility of intelligent alien life. A group of Russian astronomers say a strong mysterious radio signal from space indicates that the signal came from the direction of a star called HD164595, located ninety-five light-years from earth. The potential source of the signal is exciting because it seems to be coming from a distant system with a star much like our sun.

  Perhaps this star has a civilization-filled planet similar to earth. The Russian observatory Leinen received a message for scheduled alien contact in the fall of 2020, appearing to come from Ross 129, another red dwarf star located in the same vicinity as Ross 128, which was in the news in 2017. The star is about eleven light-years from earth.

  Remember that back in May 2018, another interstellar object had been detected by SETI. “Scientists spot the first ‘interstellar immigrant’ in our solar system … the second alien rock” from outside the Milky Way Galaxy that seems to emit strange signals from their surface.107

  Religious communities across the globe began to speculate that the increase in these signals and global UFO sightings might actually be part of the Trumpets of Revelation.

  However, as soon as the third Jewish temple was completed and the abomination of desolation was observed standing in this holy place on the Temple Mount, a great earthquake devastated the entire area, including the newly built Jewish temple.

  Across the globe, many island nations began to split, collapsing into the sea as a result of massive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.

  Have the End Times Begun?

  The answer will be clear upon the unveiling of the Lawless One and in light of the devastation coming upon humanity and the planet. Many religious and non-religious people around the world are beginning to wonder how America could have given rise to the Lawless One.

  What if the West, especially America, had perfected the art of the deal for too long? Satan’s politics of distraction, denial, and division led the nation to pursue racist f
oreign and domestic policies, while being hypocritical toward American citizens and our divine Constitution.

  Many Evangelicals are starting to admit, “Trump’s Jerusalem embassy is a giant mouse trap for a giant mouse Christ to lure him back to Earth.”108 It’s starting to become evident, though, that what they lured and empowered was not Christ, but some otherworldly being to enter into our dimension as the False Messiah.

  News Flash—2019: Italy has been classified as one of the world’s most seismically active zones for major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. And, June was the worst month across the globe for earthquake activity. One major earthquake destroyed the Jewish temple and most of the Temple Mount area in East Jerusalem.

  National news outlets began broadcasting reports of strange humming sounds around the globe, like the sound of trumpets. Simultaneously, the weather pattern for Summer 2019 became erratic and totally unpredictable. For the entire month of June, the national temperature averages hovered around 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Then began a series of trumpet-like sounds, never before heard by humankind but exactly as described in the Book of Revelation.

  News Flash—2020: Russia and China just devastated America’s electrical grid with an electromagnetic pulse attack! However, America was able to launch one retaliatory nuclear strike from a submarine at an undisclosed location in the Pacific Ocean. With only moderate destruction to the Russian frontier, the Chinese company ZTE was further able to disable the remainder of America’s command and control communications capabilities for a decisive retaliation.

  It became obvious America had focused too much on the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Israel. EMPT is a technology that can be developed without leaving much of a satellite footprint for foreign intelligence to intercept.

  Due to worldwide uprisings, wars, and continued conflicts to failed international diplomacy, corrupt domestic policies, and a declining global economy. Not only Americans, but the entire global community has begun to reflect on what will appear next on the world stage. Our minds, hearts, and souls have begun to operate like the rapid shutter flash of a Nikon camera capturing snapshots of humanity’s past as it propels us toward the next tick of the Doomsday Clock.

  Global Warning—2020: The seven trumpets are described in Revelation 8:6–13. The seven trumpets are the “contents” of the seventh seal (Rev. 8:1–5). The first trumpet causes hail and fire that destroys much of the world’s plant life (Rev. 8:7). The second trumpet brings about what seems to be a meteor hitting the oceans and causing the death of much of the world’s sea life (Rev. 8:8–9). The third trumpet is similar to the second, except it affects the world’s lakes and rivers instead of the oceans (Rev. 8:10–11).

  World leaders were barely attempting to contain the aftermath of the collapsed Korean Peninsula Peace Treaty as death and destruction escalated across the globe amid the chaos that ensued after a failed peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

  Suddenly, media outlets began reporting massive impacts of meteorites and asteroids over earth’s waterways, causing a massive rise in sea levels. This was due to NASA’s failed attempt to slingshot the asteroid into a different orbit and a subsequent nuclear strike of the asteroid by the Russians, which sent thousands of large fragments hurtling toward earth’s rivers, lakes, oceans, landmasses, and populated centers.

  News Alert—2021: The fourth of the seven trumpets causes the sun and moon to be darkened (Rev. 8:12). The fifth trumpet results in a plague of demonic locusts that attack and torture humanity (Rev. 9:1–11). The sixth trumpet releases a demonic army that kills a third of humanity (Rev. 9:12–21). The seventh trumpet calls forth the seven angels with the seven bowls of God’s wrath (Rev. 11:15–19, 15:1–8).

  This seems like a full-blown global conflict with the potential for nuclear war. The war of Armageddon, the World War III envisioned by many to take place in the Middle East.

  Many speculate that the next global conflict will incorporate advanced weaponry manned by humans but controlled by artificial intelligence—tiny portable killer drones and AI technology that goes rogue on the battlefield.

  Remember back in 2017, the hypersonic Zircon cruise missile developed by Russia and their alien alliance? The question is: Will Russia and America confront each other on the battlefield of World War III?

  Currently, the Zircon cruise missile “is capable of Mach 8 … can beat NATO missile interceptors” while there’s an increase in “superweapons for Trump’s futuristic army.”109 And there are a lot more military capabilities on the horizon that could easily destroy humanity. Why? Simply because politicians and the global elites have designed their armies for more than just deterrence. Their excessive spending for “defensive purposes” not only has the potential to destroy other nations, but also to put their own nation at risk of extinction by overuse of military power.

  Global Warning—2022: The seven bowl judgments are described in Revelation 16:1–21.

  The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died. The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. (Rev. 16:2–4)

  Surely, this is likely the aftermath of a nuclear strike. Remember, the nuclear strike on Japan by the United States of America? America is the first and only nation on planet earth to have justified using a nuclear weapon in warfare. And Japan is the only country to have suffered the aftermath of a nuclear strike that resulted in painful sores and contamination of local water supplies.

  Imagine a full-blown nuclear war and its resulting affect on humankind in the twenty-first century. The ocean’s food sources would no longer be suitable or available for human consumption because of contamination. It would be complete, nearly irreparable devastation! Just imagine the rapid decline of our global climate that will have occurred prior to the second coming of Christ.

  So who were the leaders and supporters of various nations’ failed foreign and domestic policies? Who were the oppressors? Who were the oppressed? Who were the pathological liars, the murderers, the rapists, the thieves, the wicked, the lovers and worshippers of idolatry? Who were the racists, the terrorists, the lovers of money, the lovers of sin and corruption, the pedophiles, the homosexuals, and the antichrists? And did the planet-managers share their wealth of knowledge and resources generously? Were those less fortunate provided equal and proper resources and access so they could succeed based on their individual desires and capabilities?

  By now, I think you begin to understand how dreadful these events will become and the anguish and fearfulness everyone will experience. One of the main problems is that most humans think that since Christ died for our sins, everything will be hunky-dory during the final days.

  What if this false mind-set caused humanity to spiral out of control? Like a humanoid AI robot functioning without any sense of remorse or consequence. If so, life on earth will only become worse. Because, the last tick of the Doomsday Clock had already changed most of normal life on earth to a grim reality—the Seven Seals and trumpets of Revelation suddenly held true to ancient prophecy.

  Global Warning—2022: Consider the next phase of the prophecy:

  The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him. The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done. (Rev. 16:8–11)

  Any global leaders still alive will be left with little hope of repairing diplomatic channels. Western democracy had already nearly collapsed by the end of 2019, due to
President Trump’s unfit personality to lead his nation.

  America’s crumbling political stances caused a breakup of the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), alliances that could have averted increased global tension. But their crumbling cooperation led to a full-blown nuclear war—Armageddon.

  Many within and outside the religious community are beginning to resort to the various sacred texts for hope—hope that a benevolent being will afford humanity temporary reprieve from global devastation. They beg for humankind to be given another chance.

  But back in 2014, Russia’s Vladimir Putin had become obsessed with the destruction of America from within its government. Many now realize President Putin of Russia and President Trump of the United States of America hatched a scheme for global dominance as far back as 2009. Parts of their agenda envisioned a new global authoritarian order and a dominant religious center: Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

  But some nuclear nation-state’s elites decided to give up on any chance of diplomacy under President Trump’s foreign policies sparked by unfair trade wars. Then the unthinkable began.

  The National Broadcast Station (NBS) of Oklahoma in the United States and the British Broadcasting Channel (BBC) of Great Britain were the only Western news stations broadcasting from their underground nuclear shelters in operation after Russia’s initial conventional ballistic missile attack in Poland, Ukraine, and Germany. That same year, diplomatic lines of communication failed as America was struggling to recover from an uppercut from a very cunning and incompetent government. Russia and China launched a first-strike on the United States of America’s Eastern Seaboard, decimating the heart of its capital, Washington, D.C. The sun’s heat was intensified by the affects of a powerful 800-kiloton nuclear strike. After this successful 800-kiloton nuclear missile strike one mile over Washington, D.C., the heating effect rapidly increased to about 16,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Some reported that the rising heat wave was felt as far as ten miles from ground zero.
