On Mar. 22, 2024, Bible prophecy expert Jonathan Brentner wrote:
- Behind the false information that permeates today’s airways lies Satan’s agenda to establish his kingdom on the earth with the man of lawlessness at the helm. He (Satan) mistakenly believes he can stop the Lord’s restoration of a kingdom to Israel and thus prevent Jesus from setting up His realm.
- There’s actually good news behind the push of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and UN to establish the devil’s new world order. It not only tells us that we live in the last moments of human history, but it also points to the nearness of the glorious kingdom that we will inherit, one that will be far more glorious than we can imagine.
Here is a partial list of signs God revealed about Satan’s earthly kingdom:
- It will last for 7 years (Dan. 9:24-27).
- It will be a global kingdom, aka world government, New World Order, Great Reset, a borderless world (this is shaping up now; the World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, etc., exist now; Dan. 7:23; Rev. 13:7).
- Evil will be unrestrained during Satan’s 7-yr earthly kingdom (II Thess. 2:5-12).
- Satan’s earthly kingdom will be ruled by a wicked man called the Antichrist (I Jn. 2:18).
- Satan’s earthly kingdom will be supported by a corrupt religious leader (Pope Francis or someone like him; Rev. 16:13; 17:1-6).
- It will be ruled by a Satan worshiper from a revived Roman Empire (the EU; Rev. 13:1-6; Dan. 2:40-44; 9:24-27).
- It will begin just before Israel is ready to rebuild the Temple (everything has been pre-fabricated; Israel has a red heifer, etc.; Matt. 24:15; II Thess. 2:3-4; John 5:43).
- It will begin after Israel has come back into being (after May 14, 1948) and Jerusalem has been rebuilt (it has). Israel’s army has become immensely powerful (it is), Israel is surrounded by enemies (it is), Jerusalem is a global problem (it is), Israel is still partially blinded, etc. (Isa. 11:11; Jer. 30:3, 7; Ezek. 37:10; Psa. 83; Zech. 12:2-3; Rom. 11:25).
- It will begin after Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others have become allies and gathered in Syria to attack Israel from the north (they are there now; Ezek. 38-39).
- The signs will be converging like birth pains when it is shaping up (get closer together and more destructive; they are happening faster than we can keep up with them now; Matt. 24:3-8).
- When it is approaching, people will deny that anything has changed and say everything is the same as it always was (II Pet. 3:4).
- Deceit (Covid-19 vaccinations will keep you from getting Covid-19; there are dozens of genders; Climate Change is destroying the world; Matt. 24:4, 5, 11, 24), wickedness (Days of Noah; Gen. 6:5; Matt. 24:7), and sexual deviance (Days of Lot; LGBTQ; Gen. 19; Luke 17:28-29) will be great (they are now).
- Witchcraft, drug abuse, and murder (abortion, etc.) will be rampant, and people will refuse to repent (Rev. 9:20-21).
- Knowledge will be great: men will be able to make statues that talk (Artificial Intelligence; Dan. 12:1-2; Rev. 13:15); men will be able to identify everyone and track all buying and selling (quantum computers, a digital ID, a central bank digital currency are coming on the scene now; Rev. 13:16-17).
I am sure that I could add more to the above, but there can be little doubt that Satan’s earthly kingdom is shaping up (and, for many reasons, I believe the Church will be Raptured before it comes into being).
Here are some recent articles that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close.
One, concerning Satan’s effort to destroy Israel: on Mar. 28, 2024, it was reported that Israel can expect the following if it gets into a war with Hezbollah:
- Thousands of rockets, thousands of casualties, and the loss of water and electricity in northern Israel.
- Attacks not just from Lebanon but also from Syria, Iraq, and the Houthis.
- Israeli citizens spending 24 hours a day in bomb shelters.
- Hundreds of thousands of deaths as Israel defends itself with immensely powerful weapons.
(More: On Mar. 29, 2024, Israel said it will expand its campaign against Hezbollah. Israel said it will turn “from defending to pursuing Hezbollah, we will reach wherever the organization operates, in Beirut, Damascus, and in more distant places.”)
Two, concerning the destruction of Damascus in one night: on Mar. 28, 2024, Israeli jets struck the Syrian airport at Aleppo near Damascus. 36 Syrian soldiers and 5 Hamas terrorists were killed.
(FYI: Russia condemned the attacks and called them categorically unacceptable.)
Three, concerning Damascus, Syria, ceasing to exist as a city in one night (Isa. 17): on Apr. 1, 2024, a group of Iran’s top intelligence officials and Muslim terrorists gathered for a secret meeting at the so-called consulate building that was connected to the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
Israel learned of the meeting and that its purpose was to discuss the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
Israeli jets struck the building, and 7 people were killed, including the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a second commander, and 5 other high-ranking officials (2 Syrian police officers and others were injured).
- Israel said the building was a military target disguised as a consulate building (Iranian proxies were in the building, but there were no known diplomats in it).
- Syria strongly condemned the attack.
- Russia condemned the attack.
- Iran’s ambassador to Syria said Tehran’s response to the strike would be “at the same magnitude and harshness.”
- Hezbollah in Lebanon said, “This crime will not pass without the enemy receiving punishment and revenge.”
- Several Muslim nations, including Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, also condemned the attack.
Some officials believe an all-out war could be on the horizon because Iran is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, and Israel has vowed to not let that happen.
(More: On Apr. 1, 2024, the U.S. spotted and destroyed an Iranian attack drone near a U.S. military base in Syria.)
(More: On Apr. 2, 2024, it was reported that Iran is laying the groundwork to attack Israeli embassies worldwide.)
(More: Iran told the UN the U.S. is responsible for all the crimes committed by Israel. The U.S. warned Iran and its proxies not to attack U.S. bases in the Middle East in retaliation for Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.)
Four, in late Mar. 2024, Israel launched a surprise attack on the UN-run Al-Shifa hospital compound where Israel killed about 180 terrorists and captured about 500.
- Captured terrorists said they holed up in the hospital complex because they thought they would be secure there and have electricity and running water.
- Israel found envelopes containing the equivalent of about $3 million in cash at the UN hospital complex that was being used to finance the terrorists.
- Terrorists were in the office of the hospital director, the emergency room, the maternity ward, and the hospital complex courtyard.
- Israel had to fight these terrorists without harming patients, doctors, and medical staff.
- While fighting these terrorists, Israel also tried to see that the patients, doctors, and medical staff had food, water, and medications.
(My opinion: This clearly shows the hypocrisy of world leaders that blame Israel for killing too many civilians. They are trying to force Israel to fight with one hand behind their back. They should have acted when Hamas took over Gaza. Most of them are ignoring the Bible and serving Satan.)
(More: On Mar. 28, 2024, Israel said the UN Al-Shifa hospital complex is being severely damaged because Hamas holed up there and started attacking Israeli soldiers from the complex.)
Five, concerning deceit and false accusations against Israel: on Mar. 28, 2024, Israel released a video of its interrogation of one of the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorists.
The terrorist said the Devil took hold of him, and he admitted that he raped an Israeli woman in her home during the attack.
(My opinion: Women are second-class citizens in Muslim countries, and the silence of feminists and U.S. leaders that profess to care about women is shameful.)
Six, concerning the fact that all Israel will ultimately get saved (at the end of the Tribulation Period): on Mar. 22, 2024, thousands of Jews went to the Western Wall to read Scriptures and to pray for the hostages.
(My opinion: Many in the world are ignoring the fact that Hamas is still hiding behind hostages, but the religious fervor in Israel is growing, and Jehovah is not ignoring it. This will ultimately lead to the salvation of all Israel at the end of Satan’s earthly kingdom. Hezbollah, Hamas, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Syria, and others are headed for a major confrontation with God, and it will not be pretty.)
(More: There have been reports that the EU may cut off weapons sales to Israel to stop an Israeli attack on Hamas in Rafah. They are serving Satan by trying to protect Hamas and let them survive for another attack on Israel.)
Seven, concerning the sacrifice of a red heifer: on Mar. 27, 2024, about 120 people gathered for a conference in Shiloah to discuss the issues related to the sacrifice of a red heifer.
While there, the organizers named the five red heifers that were moved from Texas to Israel in 2022.
- In Hebrew, their names are Tikva, Geula, Techiya, Nechama, and Segula.
- In English, their names are hope, redemption, life-giving, comfort, and virtue.
Many Christians who study Bible prophecy want to know if a red heifer will be sacrificed soon.
It has been reported that the Temple Institute wants to sacrifice one this year (between Passover and Pentecost) because the red heifers will soon be too old.
But sacrificing a red heifer could cause Israel’s war with Hamas to spread, and as far as I know, there has been no announcement about whether a red heifer will be sacrificed or not.
(FYI: Many prophecy teachers, me included, believe the Temple will be rebuilt early in the Tribulation Period, and the Jews will receive permission to rebuild it in the Covenant that is confirmed by the Antichrist. It would be necessary to sacrifice a red heifer before then, but one could be sacrificed and the ashes held until needed.)
Eight, concerning the coming one-world cashless society and a requirement for tracking all buying and selling during Satan’s earthly kingdom: on Mar. 28, 2024, it was reported that SWIFT (a global group that manages trillions of dollars of banking transactions between nations every day) has developed a Central Bank Digital Currency System (CBDC) that should be operational in 12-24 months.
Nine, concerning deceit and the climate change fraud: on Mar. 19, 2024, it was reported that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will invest $1 billion to replace meat and dairy products with foods grown in labs and made from insects.
Ten, concerning a departing from the faith and the decline of America at the end of the age, on Mar. 27, 2024, the Fairfax County, Virginia, school board (all Democrats) voted 9-0 to call Easter Sunday “Transgender Visibility Day.”
(My opinion: This is the spirit of antichrist.)
(More: Pres. Biden is catching flack for designating Mar. 31, 2024 as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” A proclamation was issued under his name, but he said he didn’t issue it. If Biden didn’t issue the proclamation, who did?)
(More: There is a growing movement in the Roman Catholic Church to excommunicate Pres. Biden. On Mar. 31, 2024, Roman Catholic Archbishop Vigano issued the following statement: “I ask my brethren in the episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion.”)
Eleven, concerning deceit and a population reduction: on Mar. 31, 2024, it was reported that statistics, quietly published by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), reveal over one million excess deaths have been recorded among people aged 65 and over since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Emergency Use Authorization for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Twelve, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Apr. 3, 2024, a 7.4 earthquake off the coast of Taiwan killed 9 people, about 1,000 injured, 50 missing, 70 workers trapped in a quarry, many buildings damaged, several landslides, and damaged roads, bridges, and tunnels on the island.
(More: As I write this on Apr. 3, 2024, a late-season storm is threatening to dump 18 inches of snow on parts of New Hampshire and Maine. Wind gusts of 40-60 mph are expected, and they could get as high as 80 mph.)
Thirteen, concerning the days of Noah, when God saw that the wickedness of man was great: on Apr. 1, 2024, it was reported that gang violence in Haiti has reached “apocalyptic levels.”
The violence is so bad that some are calling Haiti “an open-air prison.”

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
