In these latter days, armies of the world government cover the land like a cloud.

“You will advance, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.” Ezekiel 38:9

“You will advance” refers to the troops of the military of the world government and the many people of its global culture. They will advance upon the State of Israel.

Even today, we see clearly how a cloud of many people works in unison with military troops, and they can advance on a nation like a storm. We see how the cloud of mass illegal immigration takes a nation like a storm, which leads to calling in the troops of the national guard. We see how riots and protests on university campuses leads to calling in a heavy, heavy police presence with the option of calling in the national guard. Over and over again we see how the cloud of many people brings in a police or military response like a storm. Today, those two entities work in unison to change culture, laws, and constitutions to bring countries into conformity of the will of the United Nations.

The cloud of many people of the global culture of the beast works in unison with the world government of the beast. The global culture lives according to the will of the entity giving them what to do, say, think, and feel. The will of that entity is the will of the world government. The global culture is already a cloud living within the State of Israel, and they are Israeli citizens. They constantly protest against their own government of Israel to demand conformity to the will of the United Nations. After the “Two State Soultion” is established, the government of Israel will have changed leadership and there will be a time of peace and safety in the land. As time progresses, we can easily envision the global culture (within Israel) rioting and protesting again, giving the world government an excuse to come in like a storm with military power. The purpose of that is to forcibly put Israel under 100% dominion of the government of the beast, not just half-way through a “Two-State Solution”.

Already, we see how there is a global putting down of those who live for Jesus Christ. The entire world is one anti-Christian global culture, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast. Like Jesus Christ, we will be counted among the transgressors and criminals, “And He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:12 Jesus Christ died for our sin and whoever believes in Him our name will be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

We follow Jesus Christ who says to us, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus? In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.” Matthew 26:52-55

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
