Hey y’all. Georgia Geoprepper here. The post for today is my take on the state of the world. In my opinion, my friends, we are in the End Times. The times immediately preceding the return of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior of the Universe. I actually think 9/11 was the catalyst for all of this. I think 9/11 truly lit the fuse to accelerate matters and put us on the “terminal path” to the End of Days. Now, I am very aware that every generation has believed that they were living in the End Times, but there were things that had to happen or factors that had to be in place before the End Times could begin. Chief among these is the existence of Israel as a cohesive state. Anyway, as I said, I believe we are in the End Times, probably in the early stages of the Tribulation. It is not clear to me how far into these Times we are and how bad things are going to get before the Rapture spoken of in the Bible happens or the end finally comes. There are three major schools of thought within Christianity concerning the timing of the Rapture: Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation, or Post-Tribulation.
Most Christians seem to cling to the Pre-Tribulation theory, in which believers will be raptured off the planet before the Tribulation even begins. Personally, I don’t subscribe to any of these schools of thought. The way I look at it, it is just sweating the small stuff. The important thing is, He IS coming back. The timing of His return and the rapture is up to him. I think the Pre-Tribbers cling to their theory as rabidly as they do largely out of fear. They don’t want to go through the Tribulation, so they won’t listen to any theory that posits the concept that they might have to. Truthfully, I would rather not go through the Tribulation, but if that is what God has for me and my family, we will deal with it. That is a lot of why I prep. Something bad is coming and coming quickly. A quick rundown on the state of the world supports this:
Domestic:
The Economy: The United States is almost 17 TRILLION dollars in debt. I heard something recently that really showed how much trouble we are in. Check this out. If, from the time that Jesus Christ was born, you put 1 million dollars A DAY in the bank (with no interest), you wouldn’t have 1 trillion dollars. Yet, somehow, we are 17 of that in debt. This Sequestration is a joke. It is an $85 billion spending cut. What most people don’t understand is that it is not even a real cut. It is not a cut from zero. It is a decrease in the rate of increase. The Federal Reserve is now printing $85 billion dollars A MONTH. So, this Sequestration is going to make no difference in reducing the catastrophic debt and is probably going to do more harm than good. As Jack Spirko has said recently, the economy is on life support and the life support machinery is now on battery backup power. I don’t see how the system can continue to sustain all of this much longer. Look at Greece and much of Europe as a model for what is very likely to take place here in the foreseeable future. Scary times.
Political Correctness: “Political correctness” is destroying this once-proud nation. Children’s sports have largely been reduced to “fun games” where score is not kept and everyone gets a “participation ribbon” so that Suzy or Johnny don’t get their little sensibilities injured by being on a team that loses. It’s no wonder that so many of the children and young adults today are walking through life with a sense of entitlement. They have been indoctrinated that performance is unimportant. You are great just because you exist. If you make the mistake of speaking the truth openly about illegal immigration you are derided as a racist or a bigot. If you speak the truth openly about the evil that is Islam, you are quickly hushed and herded into “sensitivity training” or other such nonsense.
Gun Control: In the wake of Sandy Hook, gun control has once again reared its ugly head. It’s not clear where this is all going. As things stand right now, firearms themselves are outrageously expensive and the majority of types of ammunition are sold out with no hint as to when they will become available again. I think there is more at play here. I am not trying to get too paranoid or tin-hatty here, but I think the real reason behind the gun control efforts is that the government is very aware that a collapse or something bad is coming and an armed citizenry is not in their best interest. There are sporadic reports of confiscation efforts already occurring in various jurisdictions within the US. In addition, there are the reports of the Department of Homeland Security buying massive amounts of ammunition (for “practice purposes”). It appears that not only is DHS arming themselves to the teeth, they are also going on the theory that if they can’t take the guns, they will buy up the ammunition instead.
Gas Prices: Prices at the pump are steadily increasing (already almost $4/gallon here in Georgia). I have never seen them increase this much this early in the year. Typically, we see these types of increases closer to summer. If they are already this high, what are they going to look like when summer comes?
Foreign:
Iran: Iran is continuing down the road to building and/or acquiring nuclear weapons. Reports on the news this morning show what appears to be a heavy water facility, which indicates that Iran may now not be dealing only with Uranium as a nuclear fuel but Plutonium as well. There were more talks in recent days over the issue between Iran and the west but they don’t appear to have borne much fruit. Israel keeps speaking of “red lines” saying that Iran is rapidly approaching a red line that will trigger an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The fear with that is that such an attack may very possibly send the entire Middle East spiraling into a regional war. If we think our gas prices are tough now, just wait until a major war erupts over there. Bottom line: Iran can NOT be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. We have a POTUS who is content to just sit on his hands and “talk” to them while they smile, nod their heads, and continue to work on their bomb. Not sure how this is all going to shake out, but I do think it is all very likely to come to a head by the end of the year, likely this summer.
Muslim Brotherhood and the rebuilding of the Caliphate: The Arab Spring has brought with it the spread of Islamist states in countries in the Middle East that previously had secular dictators in place. Now don’t get me wrong, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Moammar Qaddafi in Libya were not good guys. Not even close. That being said, they were the Devil we knew. Now, we have the Muslim Brotherhood (offshoot or forerunner to Al Qaeda) in charge in Egypt. We have a similar ruling junta in Libya. Bashar Assad is clinging to power in Syria by a tenuous thread while Al Qaeda-backed resistance fighters are seeking to topple him so that they can fill the power vacuum that will occur there. Why is all of this happening? They are seeking to rebuild the Muslim Caliphate that was seen during the Ottoman Empire in an effort to spread the influence of Islam and Sharia law throughout the region and beyond.
I could go on with this but I won’t. In short, forces of dark change are gathering and lining up. Something is coming and very soon. Keep prepping.
