I've been thinking about what's happening in the world, are we living the apocalypse? i don't know, Bitcoin is raising, corrupt governments are going down, Fiat system collapsing, I think we are finally freeing ourselves from our chains, the people are rising up against these governments, it's happening right now in Brazil and other countries like Venezuela, Argentina and many more. I feel hope but I know "There's always a calm before the storm". How about you, what are you thinking about these events? #bitcoin #apocalypse #faith #nostr

I think our time on earth is short and things are coming to an end just as predicted in the Bible. When I used to read end times prophecy, especially Revelation, I hatted it because it didn't make sense to me. I didn't see how it could be and my brain would shut down. Now I read these same passages and I see how technologies and events today are setting up everything predicted ~2,000 years ago(and even longer in Daniel & Ezekiel & others). We have every technology (ready or almost ready) to implement everything predicted in Revelation. I think the rapture and the beginning of the tribulation are almost here. I can't say days, months, years, or even a couple of decades for sure, but my head and my heart say it is coming soon. We can't know exactly when these events will happen, but Jesus did call us to be aware to the signs of the times and the signs are screaming, "Jesus is coming soon."

We need to be spending our time obeying God's command to make disciples and be like Paul, "To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some." (1 Corinthians 9:22) and like Jude, "keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh." (Jude 1:21-23) I always hated writing, now I am writing like mad. I have one book that is about to come out. (I'm waiting for the proof copy to approve release), I started another book. I also write a substack: https://trustjesus.substack.com/ I'm doing anything I can to share the gospel before it is too late.
