“The great day of the Lord is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out.” Zephaniah 1:14

We know the Day of the Lord is near for reasons all the world can see,

1. We are within the “42 months” when the beast has been given authority within this world, “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.” Revelation 13:5
   
   The “he” in the verse above refers to the beast behind the image and mark of the beast. The “42 months” began when the government of the beast was established immediately after WW2 when the United Nations was established as described in Daniel 8. Its foundation is built on the thing which gives people what to think, feel, do, and say as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses in every city around the world. They are conformed to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
2. As written above, the image of the beast is in this world as it lives and speaks through people empowered by the thing forming thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. People are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do, and they form the global culture in every city around the world.
3. Obviously, the global government is here as every nation around the world are conforming to the global goals of the United Nations. It is the global government of the beast because they derive their power and authority through the masses around the world who live by the anti-Christian thing forming what they think, feel, do and say.
   
   One of the main objectives of the global government is to remove boundaries and borders created by political and religious beliefs to prepare the world for the one world government. ^“…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The “he” in that verse refers to the “man of sin”, the “lawless one”, or the “son of perdition”. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. The global government of the beast derives its power by sitting in the temple of God, our body, within thoughts and feelings to form what is said, done, and believed.
   
   The formation of the global government is described in Revelation 17 as well as Daniel 8.
4. Global warming is here as described in the Fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9. Global warming is progressing hand in hand with the global government. As the global government becomes stronger and stronger, global warming becomes hotter and hotter.
   
   Global warming is instrumental in destroying the power center of the beast (Fifth Plague) which means the collapse of the global government of the beast. When that happens, there will be nothing remaining to give people what to think, feel, say, do, and believe. The image of the beast will no longer be living and speaking through people and the mark of the beast will no longer be functional. When that happens, it gives rise to the Battle of Armageddon (Sixth Plague). All of that is explained in Revelation 16:8-17.
   
   WW3 could happen and that still would not be the Battle of Armageddon. Whatever wars, battles, or any other conflict that occurs in these present times, it only serves to give more dominance and power to the global government of the beast (United Nations).
   
   As long as the thing exists that has power over thoughts, feelings, words, behaviors, and beliefs then the Battle of Armageddon is not here. When the power center of the beast plunges into darkness, that is the end of uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, un-approachable power, and authority, etc. That will unleash a world of people out for revenge against the oppression of the global government of the beast. Whenever that happens, then the next significant event is the Battle of Armageddon. Jesus Christ comes back during the Seventh Plague and Seventh Trumpet.

That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,

 A day of trumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers.

“I will bring distress upon men,
And they shall walk like blind men,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
Their blood shall be poured out like dust,
And their flesh like refuse.”

(Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”
Zechariah 14:12)

Neither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;

(The digital currency is not the salvation of the global culture.)

But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.
Zephaniah 1:15-18

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
