And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. (1Chronicles 12:32) (emphasis mine)
The events of the last few years are further evidence that the end time prophecies in the Bible are coming to pass. The pieces are coming together and more in focus. As the children of Issachar we need to understand the times so that we know what to do. Visit my blog to see the latest news and updates.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)
Understanding the Times
Covid 19
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matthew 24:7) The Greek word translated pestilences could also mean pandemics.
Lock-downs
Around the world governments responded to Covid-19 with lock-downs, mandates and restrictions. Looking back more than 400 studies from around the world and Johns Hopkins are showing how ineffective these policies were and the enormous negative impacts they had.
The Pfizer vaccine trial data
Early on doctors from the Canadian Covid Care Alliance analyzed the Pfizer trial data to prove that the “vaccine” is not “safe and effective” and does more harm than good:
Other qualified doctors were censored and some lost their jobs for speaking out against the vaccine.
A better response to Covid would have been to stress prevention and early treatment. Dr. Michael Holick, professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine and his colleagues did a study in 2020 and concluded that a sufficient amount of vitamin D can cut the risk of catching coronavirus by 54%. That means that roughly 50% of the people that died from Covid could still be alive since you cannot die from something you did not get. A study from Brazil showed that Ivermectin caused a 92% reduction in mortality. So of the other 50%, roughly 90% could sill be alive. Together, if vitamin D and Ivermectin were used 95% of those who died could still be alive. If you lost a loved one to Covid you should be infuriated.
“Humans are now hackable animals. Free will is over.”
But even more sinister is that a growing amount of evidence shows that the mrna vaccines can change your DNA which opens the door for gene therapy or editing. Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, said that gene editing “can change who you are”.
Yuval Noah Harari, one of Klaus Schwab’s primary advisors, says that “humans are now hackable animals. Free will is over.”.
It seems like the pandemic is viewed as an opportunity to push the Great Reset. A lot of other pieces were required to make that happen.
The Great Reset and Agenda 2030
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Daniel 7:23)
For over 100 years world leaders have talked about a “new world order” which implies that the “old world order” will first need to be dismantled. More recently, the slogan from world leaders is something like “build back better”. You can only build something back if it has first been torn down.
We are living in the days when freedom, free markets, and capitalism especially in the West are being devoured, tread down and broken in pieces so that they can be replaced with socialism and communism in a one world totalitarian government.
Organizations like the United Nations and its Agenda 2030 and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset are pushing this agenda. Both seem to be driving toward a one world government with high tech to monitor, track, and control everyone and everything. It would allow Satan to approach the omnipresent and omniscient characteristics of God. These agendas put us on a path to fulfill Daniel 7:23.
It seems very likely that the beast’s or Antichrist’s kingdom is forming and Covid-19 provided the window of opportunity to accelerate the plans for the Great Reset. Antichrist himself will be revealed in God’s time (2Thessalonians 2:6).
The 4th Industrial Revolution and the Technologies driving the Great Reset
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Daniel 7:23)
The technological pieces coming together
“The fourth industrial revolution, however, is not only about smart and connected machines and systems. Its scope is much wider. Occurring simultaneously are waves of further breakthroughs in areas ranging from gene sequencing to nanotechnology, from renewables to quantum computing. It is the fusion of these technologies and their interaction across the physical, digital and biological domains that make the fourth industrial revolution fundamentally different from previous revolutions.” (emphasis mine) (Klaus Schwab, The Fourth Industrial Revolution)
The prophet Daniel said that the end times 4th beast would be diverse or different from the other kingdoms (Daniel 7:23). Klause Schwab said that the high tech driving the 4th industrial revolution will make it different from previous revolutions. Is it high tech that makes the fourth beast diverse or different from the previous beasts or kingdoms?
With these technologies: “We Are In the Process of Turning Ourselves Into Gods”
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:12-15)
Control
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:16-17)
How long can you survive if you cannot buy or sell anything? Before we get to that point the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies provide capabilities to gather enormous amounts of information about you to control you. It’s already happening in China:
“For the First Time a Dictatorship Can Follow All Citizens All the Time.”
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9) (emphasis mine)
As the beast’s or Antichrist’s kingdom forms it will be characterized the character of its ultimate leader, Antichrist who will be empowered by Satan (Revelation 13:4), the father of lies. Antichrist will blaspheme God:
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Revelation 13:6)
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
The Truth will set you free
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word (link to bible study), then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32)
The resources on this site are intended to provide you with the truth so you can understand the times and know what to do.

How the formation of Antichrist’s kingdom ties in with other Biblical signs and the timeline Jesus gave us
Antichrist’s kingdom forming is but one piece of the puzzle. The Bible gives us other pieces or signs such as:
When combined the pieces are coming together and into focus. They provide compelling evidence that we are living in the time-frame that Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:4-8).
In the context of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus said that the generation that was born when the first sign of “nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom” takes place will still be alive when He returns (Matthew 24:34). Today a generation can live to be about 120 years old. If WWI marks the start of the signs Jesus mentioned then that means He could return by 2034! Organizations stating that it is possible to preach the Gospel to all people groups starting around 2026 fits in that one generation and confirms the signs Jesus mentioned. Learn more about the timeline Jesus gave us at my other website, The Word on End Times.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25) (emphasis mine)
While no one knows the day or hour when Jesus will return, the writer of Hebrews makes it clear that if we are watching we can see the day approaching. So now that we have a better understanding of the times, and we see the day approaching, what are we going to do?
What To Do
The Battle rages
Just like in the Garden of Eden Satan continues to deceive people and people continue to rebel against God. The battle rages on many fronts. Ultimately it is a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). But it can manifest itself in the physical realm in many ways. It is a battle of ideologies, truth vs. lies, Godliness vs. ungodliness. The Apostle Paul summed up his life this way:
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2 Timothy 4:7)
If you study the life of Paul it was a life of battles on many fronts. We are engaged in the same fight. Now is the time to rise up and fully engage in the battle. Until Jesus Christ returns we need to be vigilant. We need to persevere. We need to pray. We need to fight for souls and life. We need to do whatever we can. Ultimately the saints win with this attitude:
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. (Titus 3:8)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (Revelation 7:9)
The great multitude that John sees come out of great tribulation (Revelation 7:14). Jesus said there would be great tribulation just before He returns (Matthew 24:21). We can conclude that the great multitude that John sees comes from the great tribulation just before Jesus returns. Jesus spoke of a great harvest when He was here and told his disciples to pray that God would send workers into the harvest (Luke 10:2). This harvest will be even greater and it seems to have already started:
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Consider how you can be a part of fulfilling the great commission:
Jesus will return when the great commission is complete
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)
Whose kingdom are you a part of?
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:12-14)
Please consider what God says about becoming His child and entering into His kingdom:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36)
…that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. (Acts 26:20b)
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)
Biblical Instructions specifically for the end times
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:35)
What the Bible says about church life in the end times
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:12) As a follower of Jesus Christ you are part of a big and growing family.
Stir up one another to love and good works
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Matthew 5:13)
There are many ways we can be salt and light in the culture we live in. Below are just a few.
Albert Einstein once said “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” As someone else once said “Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something”. What will you do?
Use the freedoms we have in the USA to express your faith publicly
From the military, to our children’s schools, houses of worship, charities, businesses and the marketplace, our local veterans’ memorials and our neighborhoods, Americans have more religious freedom than they’ve had in 50 years. Go to Restoring Faith in America to learn more about how this is possible and how to take advantage of this tremendous God given opportunity! Here are a few examples:
A football player can ask teammates plus opposing players to pray together on the field after a game (and ask coaches to join as well).
You can ask your school board to open the meetings with a prayer.
Your city can put up a menorah for Hanukkah and a nativity scene for Christmas.
Your government entity (city, state, county) can put up a 10 Commandments monument on government land.
A teacher can put up a 10 Commandments poster in their classroom.
Faith-based organizations like Teen Challenge can receive government funding and fully participate in programs (such as drug rehab) without discrimination.
Inform your church or local religious organization that they cannot be excluded from government grants or benefits programs (for homelessness, drug rehab, food banks, etc.) simply because they are faith-based.
Stop feeding the beast (Avoid buying from big box stores and woke companies. Buy products and services from Christian or patriotic companies and stores)
