Many people are discussing the coming storm that is about to him. When I speak of a storm, it is a metaphor used to describe the coming economic collapse[1] [2] [3]and war.[4] The state of the geopolitical health of Western nations. However, while I believe such events are going to transpire, the reality is the storm is already here, what is coming is an intensification of the storm – the geopolitical events.
Western nations such as the UK, America, and most of Europe are already suffering economic hardships. The UK government recently informed its citizens that the October budget will be one of pain, as people endure short-term hardships due to the state of the economy.[5] The reality is we are in a global recession, which is labelled a cost-of-living crisis. However, the storm will soon intensify because large businesses, banks and institutions are now going bust.[6] Consequently, soon we will see an economic tsunami hit the world that will usher in an unprecedented global depression.
Shortly, governments will not be able to hide the severity of the global economy. People will be faced with the harsh reality of a global depression, which will usher in famine and death. Then, when people are ravished by famine and depression, war will follow. The war will bring further famine, along with plagues and death unseen before as two billion people die. It is out of the mire of such despair that the antichrist will arise to become the world leader who will enslave humanity, as people willingly embrace the new norm.
For those awake, that should not be news, but the question is, have you allowed normalcy bias to seep in? Have you been complacent in preparing for the days ahead?
The reality is that many are not prepared to endure the coming storm. Yes, they might have prepared financially and physically by buying gold and silver, having some cash at hand, and stocking up on food and other essentials. Nevertheless, while such preparations are critical and should be made if you have the means, the paramount preparation everyone can make, regardless of economic abilities, is to make God their habitation. When I say God, I mean the one true God who sent His son, Jesus, to die for you and me.
The current storm will only intensify. It will not stop. It will continue to intensify until Jesus returns and calms the storm by defeating the coming man of sin – the antichrist. Only then will true peace and harmony be brought to creation. Until then, the storm we face and the tribulation we are in will intensify. The only way we can endure is by ensuring our lives are not built on earthly things but on the word of God and that our focus is on Jesus. Yes, we see the signs; we watch what is transpiring or about to occur, but our gaze must be fixed on Jesus. Only then can we endure.
What transpires should not surprise the disciples of Jesus. We should not be caught off guard or alarmed by the draconian measures nations are taking to quell free speech and those opposed to the lawless actions of governments. Countries that declare themselves to be righteous only to be passing unrighteous acts.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
However, we should not seek to take physical action. Remember, our fight is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of darkness.[7] Instead, we should be proclaiming the gospel. Calling people to repentance.
What is transpiring globally is the eradication of Christian values and the establishment of the Beast Kingdom – often referred to as the New World Order. This kingdom is the kingdom of the antichrist, the lawless one who will enslave humanity and persecute the people of God.
Sadly, the world has rejected the kingship of God. It has turned its back on the righteous laws of God and embraced lawlessness. Consequently, God has removed His hand of protection and given us over to the evil desires of our corrupt hearts. Thus, the ruler we will get is one who is lawless. A leader who will appear to bring peace but will enslave humanity in an A.I digital panopticon that will survey and control all aspects of our lives. Those who reject the antichrist and his kingdom will be locked out, vilified, and hunted down. If caught, they will be sent to correction camps. Those who refuse to conform will be martyred.
The reality of our situation is one that has been foretold – prophesied in the Bible. Currently, regardless of whether people accept it or not, the fact is we are living in the days of tribulation. Soon, the Great Tribulation will be upon us as Bible prophecy plays out before our eyes. No longer is it a concept merely read about in the Bible and prophecy books but a reality we live in daily. What is sad is that most of the church fails to comprehend what is transpiring. Nevertheless, it is occurring. Thus, our only means of enduring is to cry out to God, as we, individually and collectively with like-minded people, humble ourselves before God and repent, personally and on behalf of the church and our nation. However, let me be clear: judgment is here and will intensify, but crying out to God in repentance will reduce the severity.
In summary, the storm is already raging, but shortly, it will intensify, ushering in a global depression and famine. Then, when things do not seem to get worse, words will erupt as the four horsemen of the apocalypse outlined in Revelation 6 in the first four seals are unleashed.
We are never going back to the pre-covid era. What was normal then has gone forever. To understand what is coming one must read the Bible. However, the good news is that the antichrist kingdom will only last 3.5years.
Furthermore, what is clear is that, sadly, in the coming days, billions of people will die. However, death is not the end. Everyone dies. The good news is that Jesus came and conquered death, ensuring that all who call on His name, those who surrender their life to Him, will have eternal life instead of going to hell – the lake of fire. That means we live with God for eternity instead of going to hell. But, to receive this gift, a person must confess everything they have done that is wrong according to God – the Bible calls this sin. Then surrender their life and commit to following Jesus as they live a life according to scripture. The Bible refers to this as salvation.
The question is, are you ready for what is coming? Is your refuge and hope in your physical preparations, or is it in God? The only way you can endure the storm as it intensifies is by surrendering and submitting your life to God and keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus. Only then can you find peace and walk through the storm.
I pray you prepare the right way for what is coming and surrender your life to God.
May the LORD bless and Keep you!

Other countries have reported sooner, with Germany stating 2025. However, while the timing might be unknown, what is unquestionable is that war will transpire, especially with tensions in the Middle East, China and Taiwan, and Ukraine and Russia.
