The Lord cuts off the nations to lead them to repentance, but they reject Him.

Zephaniah 3:6-7

  “I have cut off nations, their fortresses are devastated; I have made their streets desolate, with none passing by. Their cities are destroyed; There is no one, no inhabitant. I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me, you will receive instruction’— So that her dwelling would not be cut off, despite everything for which I punished her. But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.” Zephaniah 3:6-7

The Lord always, always gives us the opportunity to be reconciled to Him through Jesus Christ within devastating circumstances. The Lord wants us to revere Him as God the Creator and to receive the instruction He gave us through Jesus, the Holy Bible, and Holy Spirit. The offer made to us through Jesus will always exist to the very day when Jesus returns, and that offer is, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

At the end of revealing the events of the first six trumpets, the Holy Spirit says, “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” Through it all, God wants us to reconcile to Him by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, as quoted, “But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” Revelation 9:20-21

Global warming is in this word today as mentioned in the Fourth Plague, but the global culture refuses to repent and give Him glory, as quoted, “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” Revelation 16:8-9

Global warming is instrumental in the destruction of the power center of the beast as mentioned in the Fifth Plague in Revelation 16:10-11. That means the global government of the beast (United Nations) will be rendered powerless. The thing giving people what to think, feel, say, and do will no longer be functioning. The image of the beast will no longer be living and speaking through people and the mark of the beast will no longer have power to keep people confined to a station in life. Even in that condition of being powerless, the global culture continues to blaspheme God and refuses to repent, as quoted, “Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.” Revelation 16:10-11

After the total lack of remorse and refusal to reconcile to God through Jesus Christ, then the Battle of Armageddon arises, as mentioned in the Sixth Plague in Revelation 12:-16.

The thing giving people what to feel, think, say, and do replaces the human conscience. Because of that, the masses of the global culture are filled with traits of psychopathy in various degrees and lacking remorse. The world is a place where love has become cold and filled with lawlessness.

The United Nations will end up being the “cut off nations”, their global economy will be devastated as described in Revelation 18, and the power center of the beast will be destroyed to leave the global culture powerless. After the events of the Seven trumpets and Seven Plagues, the streets of the global culture will be left desolate and cities in every nation around the world will be destroyed. When God sent Jesus Christ to atone for sin, He gave all He had to reconcile all people to Him by the remission of sin, as He expressed His intention, “I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me, you will receive instruction’— So that her dwelling would not be cut off.” However, despite all He did for us through Jesus Christ, the global culture continues to corrupt themselves through the thing giving them what to feel, think, say, do and believe. They lack remorse within their spirit and soul.

‘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.”
