The Accelerating Rate of Acceleration

 The Accelerating Rate of Acceleration - By Dave Hubley - https://www.raptureready.com/2023/05/13/prophecy-the-accelerating-rate-of-acceleration-by-dave-hubley/ (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to betterunderstand the present-day insanity and confusion.) There is a type of chart that is used to illustrate the relationship between time and events. Called an Exponential Curve, it illustrates this relationship both graphically and numerically and is presented in chart form for easy comparison. As events progress, they also increase in frequency as they approach the end of the timeline illustrated on the chart. A quick search on the web will give numerous examples of how this looks, and you will notice that the rate of acceleration rapidly increases to near vertical as the end ofthe timeline approaches. Using this example, I believe that the acceleration of current events and the increasing visibility of the conditions that will exist at the time of the final fulfillmentof Bible prophecy are at the point where they match the location on the chart where the curve goes nearly vertical. For the sake of this discussion, we will view the event line as two different but related lines (or topics), instead of one, that are merging as the timeline advances. The convergence of these two different conditions is also accelerating in their merging together, as well as accelerating in their relationship to the timeline. Picture in your mind’s eye a set of railroad tracks that convey the illusion that they are converging in the distance, as they appear to be when you are observing them whenstanding in the center. Hopefully, this will present a picture of the point I am trying to make. In this case, the convergence of the two different conditions is not an illusion. Unlike the railroad tracks, these end-time events will converge and, I believe, are doingso at an undeniably accelerated pace. I believe the merging of these events would be more accurately described as a collision. The two converging conditions I am referring to are: •The current state of the unbelieving, God-rejecting world and the consequences it will bring about. •Bible prophecy, particularly, but certainly not limited to the events described in the Book of Revelation beginning in Chapter 4:1 and beyond. The current state of the God-rejecting world: The current state of the world bears a remarkable resemblance to the book of Daniel, one of the most prophetic books of the Old Testament. Most significant is the world conditionsthat must exist for the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks of Years to be completed (Daniel 9:24-27). This prophecy describes the division of 70 weeks into three sections (7 weeks of years, 62 weeks of years, and one final week of 7 years). The first two divisions constitutea total of 69 weeks and have already been fulfilled. The final week of 7 years is the time of the Tribulation (or the Time of Jacob’s Trouble), described in the Book of Revelation beginning with chapter 4, verse 1. The time between the 69th week and the commencement of the final week is not specified, but it can be understood as a period of time from the crucifixion of Jesus and thebirth of His Church (50 days later) until the rising of the “ruler who will come.” This is the Church Age, or the Age of Grace, in which we currently reside. It has gone on for approximately 2,000 years. This brings us to the New Testament prophecies to completethe understanding of the accelerating rate of prophetic fulfillment. The much-read and discussed prophecies of Matthew 24:1-25 (Mark 13:1-23 and Luke 21:7-24) describe the things that “must” take place before the end of the age arrives andaddress more widespread worldly conditions. These things are occurring daily and are constantly in the news in both secular (occasionally/reluctantly) and alternative (frequently and in detail) media venues. One of the most significant prophecies is the degradation of humans on a personal level, and can be found in Paul’s warnings in (2 Timothy 3:1-7). The velocity of this downwardspiral cannot be ignored and has steadily increased since the 1960s. The result has been a marked rise in rebellious and perverted behavior. I grew up in the 60s, and I can tell you, with no need for exaggeration, the difference between then and now is staggering. If the schools of today would only have to dealwith gum chewing and talking in class, it would be cause for celebration. There are, despite aches, pains, and physical degradation, some advantages in advanced years. Perhaps the most valuable is hindsight. The difference in culture, thought, understanding, and activities referred to as “entertainment” today that I can see over the last 60 or so years of my life (I am 71) makeit clear that the deteriorating rate of society and culture is very real. There are some that will say, “I’ve been hearing this for years, but everything continues on as it always has.” That is, in fact, a fulfillment of a prophecy made by the Apostle Peter approximately 1,956 years ago: “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts” (2 Peter 3:3). I can safely say things are most definitely NOT continuing along as they always have. Not at all. Technology and its exploitation for evil purposes, even over just the last couple of years alone, has made it possible for humans to deceive, control, and subjugate otherhuman beings on a massive scale. That brings the current conditions in line with what is revealed in the Book of Revelation. “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:17). Whatever final form that this total control of humanity takes, it will quite literally occur, exactly as described, after the Lord has removed the True Church from this earthin the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. The demise of the current cash-based system and the advent of some form of digital currency that is frantically being pushed toward implementation will be the likely mechanismused to acquire near-total control of individuals and countries. Now to the crux of this article. I believe the momentum of the planned takeover was lost in 2016 when the American election did not go according to plan. I believe in those four years, God sounded a final warning to America to repent, but it went unheeded. In fairness to Donald Trump, he did try to turn things around in secularterms, but evil was much too firmly entrenched, and there is now no remedy. That four-year interruption delayed the program of world control, and clearly, purveyors of globalism are extremely distressed by it. Now we find ourselves in 2023, and the globalist, one-world government cabal recently announced an “emergency” meeting to accelerate its 2030 agenda: https://fism.tv/wef-members-summoned-to-accelerate-and-advance-the-great-reset/ Why would this need to happen? Why the sudden need to accelerate it? I believe that pushback against this evil by both individuals and the leaders of a few countries across the globe is very severe, and the one-world globalists are losing thecontrol they thought they had firmly in hand. Truth, reality, and facts are impossible to suppress. As people perceive they are losing their freedoms, that the food shortages are planned, and even the ability to heat their homes is being restricted, pushback is taking ona measure of desperation. The “sea and the waves” (people and nations) spoken of by the Lord Jesus in (Luke Chapter 21:25) are frenetic, determined, and widespread, and they are roaring in defiance. I believe drastic measures will be undertaken to quell and/or try to control this rebellion. I also believe that this current activity, and the attempt to accelerate it, is the most substantial indication that the Pre-Tib Rapture of the Church must be very near. By bringing about the Rapture, God would remove the last bit of control over the advance of evil: the Holy Spirit and the indwelt, Christ-worshipping and believing Church. “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:7). Take heart, my sisters and brothers, and pray without ceasing so we can be a part of the fulfillment of this promise by our One and only God. “Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from whatis still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish” (Isaiah 46:9-10). The special message I promised you: For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life. You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding. It requires that you come before God on His terms. And, what are His terms according to His Word? •Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him). •Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God). •That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). •To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt. •Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross. •To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion. God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused. •No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one. •No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will. •Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions. If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will. “Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John5:24). There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truthand the peace you seek. The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). Pro Salvator Vigilans
