“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth “distress of nations“, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts (minds) failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are (soon) coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man (Jesus) coming in a cloud with POWER and GREAT GLORY!“ Luke 21; 25-27.
A Time of Great Distress
The Scriptures quoted above refer to the TIME of “GREAT distress of nations“ We are living in a time of great distress. We should not be surprised. In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus was asked this question by his disciples, “What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus responded by giving them signs for which to watch. He said there will be wars, and rumors of wars, and famines and earthquakes in various places. He said, “All these are the beginning of birth pains (which actually began in 2020).” He went on to describe a time of coming deception and wickedness. Then, in verse 21, Jesus said, “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” I personally don’t believe that we have yet reached this point of unequaled distress. However, I do believe it is closely on the horizon.
Certainly, we are living in a time of GREAT distress. All around the world now we are surely witnessing some very BAD, evil, frightful, horrific and terrible events that are causing incredible suffering. Look no further than the current conflicts and the ongoing war in the Middle East.
In Luke 21:25, Jesus said, “On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the constant roaring and tossing of the sea.”? Do you see the truth of this verse? Right now, all around the world, nations are perplexed at the “roaring and tossing of the sea (all over the world).” Natural disasters are causing problems that have no solutions. The Middle East War presents an unsolvable problem. Our current Financial Crisis and national debt in the US is now over $28 trillion and climbing. As the United States declines in power and prestige, China is becoming the major super power of the world. Russia is controlled by a ruthless dictator, as is Cuba, North Korea,Turkey, Venezuela, Belarus?and many other countries. Iran is an on-going source of world-wide terrorism. The COVID-19 virus has morphed into a more contagious virus specially to those who were vaccinated with nRNA vaccines. Politicians have no answers to these problems. Governments are literally perplexed and the people are in great anguish.
How about the stress that many families are facing? Many are being stretched to the limit as loved ones die, personal debt mounts and children rebel! Divorce is rampant. The issue of money is the number one factor pulling marriages apart. A friend of mine has struggled for years trying to secure a job. He was married with children. A few years ago, his wife told him that she had had enough. They are now divorced. What happened to ‘til death do us part?’ Alcoholism, drugs, depression?and suicide are rampant in our country and around the world.
I could go on and on; however, I’m sure you’re getting the point. We are living in a time of unparalleled distress. With that said, let me add this warning and prediction. Things will only get worse as the end approaches. This is my prediction as a modern-day prophet. I am not a fortune teller I AM a Watchman, a servant of God who must WARN YOU! I’m just going by the Word of God. “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”
So, let me ask you, how are you doing? Are you experiencing distress? Did you know there is a way of peace even in the midst of incredible suffering. It is known to believers as the peace of God (I have recently written an article here on LINKEDIN titled; Having the Peace of God and Preparing Myself to REST IN PEACE Shortly! Which I have published also on The PLAIN and SIMPLE Truth Newsletter and I highly recommend you read it). Paul writes about this kind and type of peace in Philippians. Philippians 4:6-7 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses and transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” You must really and truly be in Christ Jesus in order to experience the peace of God. The peace of God comes only to those who have made peace with God through REAL and TRUE REPENTANCE! Those who have been baptized and who have the Holy Spirit of God living in them. God’s judgment often comes to drive men and women to the TRUTH (the PLAIN and SIMPLE Truth of His Word THE BIBLE). When people reject the grace of God and His TRUTH and continually DISOBEY His Commandments, they usually must face His judgment. Again, God’s judgment is a tool He uses to drive us to REPENTANCE. It is only when we CHANGE and REPENT from our EVIL ways that peace with God can be made. Have you come to a REAL about face in your life? Are you experiencing incredible distress? Then, maybe you need to bow your knee before the One who died on the cross for you. Make peace with God so you can experience the peace of God like me. Amen!
The Judgment of God Upon the Children of Ammon (The Jordanian Arab World)
In the current political geography today, the heart of Ammon is situated within the country of Jordan, particularly centered around that country's capital, Amman—the name still preserved after thousands of years (Amman = Ammon, which most now agree is the biblical “Rabbath-Ammon”). Notice this in Ezekiel 25; 1-7; “The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites (Modern Day Jordanians), and prophesy (PREACH) against them; And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary (in the Temple Mount) when it was profaned (by ALL the Muslims when they built a mosque and the so called; Dome of the Rock there); and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah (the Jews living in the State of Israel), when they went into captivity (by the Hamas terrorists who took them ALL hostage on October 7th 2023); Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east (China, North Korea, etc.) for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the land of the Ammonites (Again the Jordanians) a couching place for flocks! And ye shall know that I AM the LORD. For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart (and mind) with ALL thy despite against the land of Israel; Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries (around Israel)! I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I AM the LORD (NOT Allah nor any other god).”?
The Judgment of God Upon Moab
The Moabites were an ancient Semitic civilization that lived in what is today the modern country of Jordan. And God also will judge these people soon for aiding and backing up HAMAS! “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriahthaim, Unto the men of the east (again China, Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, etc.) with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I AM the LORD.” Verses 8-11.
The Judgment of God Upon Edom
Edom, was an ancient land bordering the land of ancient Israel, in what is now southwestern Jordan, between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. And this is what God Almighty says about it; “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan (now part of Al-'Ula , Saudi Arabia ) shall fall by the sword (Operation Swords of Iron which is the name given to the I.D.F.'s campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip).” Verses 12-13.? Following the horrible and terrible events of the October 7 massacre in Israel, the I.D.F. (Israeli Defense Forces) began striking targets in Gaza and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war against the EVIL, wicked, extremist and vicious Hamas terrorist group. This war led to the deployment of the first I.D.F. ground offensive into the Strip in years, with the expressed goal of fully killing and destroying Hamas. . .Verse 14 now; “And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom (and on ALL the HAMAS and Iran supported terrorist groups) by the hand of my people Israel (the I.D.F.) and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.“ “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I AM against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I AM the LORD. Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword (the recent missile attacks) in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end! Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. And I will fill his mountains with his slain men in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they that are slain with the sword (of the I.D.F.). I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return; and ye shall know that I AM the LORD. Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there! Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. And thou shalt know that I AM the LORD, and that I have heard ALL thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me; I have heard them. Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth (when the Kingdom of God is established by Jesus Christ upon the earth), I will make thee desolate. As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and ALL Idumea (Arabia), even ALL of it; and they shall know that I AM the LORD.“ Ezekiel 35; 1-15.
The Judgment of God on Philistia (modern day Palestine)
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines (the Palestinians) have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart (against Israel through HAMAS), to destroy it for the old hatred; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines (modern day Palestinians), and I will cut off the Cherethims, (Al-Qassam elite forces, Nukhba) and other militia and proxy terrorist groups, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. And I will execute GREAT vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I AM the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.“ Verses 15-17.
The Judgment of God on Zidon (Sidon in Lebanon)
“Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy (speak) against it, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I AM against thee, O Zidon (and the Hezbollah terrorist group living there); and I will be glorified in the midst of thee' and they shall know that I AM the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. For I will send into her pestilence (the coming NEW virus and PLANDEMIC ahead), and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword (the Swords of Iron of the I.D.F.) upon her on every side; and they shall know that I AM the LORD. And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I AM the Lord GOD. Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen (Arab and Muslim nations), then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob (Israel). And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence (not having to worry about their enemy missile attacks from Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran any longer), when I have executed judgments upon ALL those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I AM the LORD their God.“ Ezekiel 28;20-26.

The certainty of the Desolation Coming Upon Iran
“I saw the Lord standing upon the altar and He said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake and cut them in the head, ALL of them (those who represent the terrorist proxies of Iran); and I will slay the last of them with the sword (the Swords of Iron of the I.D.F.) he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. Though they dig (many underground Tunnels) into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven (like they have claimed their false prophet Muhammad did at the Dome of the Rock site), thence will I bring them down! And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent (Satan, the devil), and he shall bite them! And though they go into captivity (as hostages) before their enemies, thence will I command the sword (of Israel), and it shall slay them, and I will set mine eyes upon them for EVIL, and not for GOOD. And the Lord GOD of hosts is He that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and ALL that dwell therein shall mourn and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. It is He that buildeth His stories in the heaven, and hath founded His troop (the I.D.F.) in the earth; He that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; The LORD is His name. Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? Saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom (Iran), and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.“ Amos 9;1-8.
The Destruction of the Arab Muslim nations Coming!
“How are the things of Esau (the Arabs) searched out! How are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy confederacy (the United Arab Muslim wold) have brought thee even to the border (of the State of Israel) the men that were at peace with thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee; there is none UNDERSTANDING in him. Shall I not in that day (the day of DISTRESS), saith the LORD, I will even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? And thy mighty men, O Teman (Saudi Arabia), shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.“ Obadiah 1;6-9.
Why Edom (Gaza) will Be Destroyed
“For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side (of the border), in the day that the (Hamas) strangers carried away captive his (Defense) forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.“ Obadiah 1;10-11.
The Wrath of God at Sinful Humanity
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the TRUTH (The PLAIN and SIMPLE Truth) in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them (they were created in the image of God); for God hath shewed it unto them (in His Word THE BIBLE). For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse! Because that, when they knew God (through Sunday School and Church services), they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart (mind) was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise (for possessing a Bachelor, Doctorate, and Masters Degree), they became fools, And changed the glory of the un-corruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man (and apes, monkeys and other primates via the Theory of Evolution), and to birds, and four/footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts (minds), to dishonor their own bodies between themselves! Who changed the TRUTH of God into a LIE, and worshiped and served the creature (Satan the devil) more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use (of the male penis) into that which is against nature (Dildos, Vibrators, etc.)! And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another (Homosexuality); men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error (the HIV/AIDS virus) which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind (the mind of Satan and his Demons), to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with ALL unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate (like the ones we will see before the Presidential Election this year), deceit, malignity; whisperers (like my ex/wife), Backbiters (like her also), haters of God, despiteful, proud (like Trump), boasters, inventors of evil things (like AI, Cyborgs, the Hydron Collider, Neurolink, Robots, the RDF Microchip, etc.), disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers (they do not keep their word or agreements), without natural affection (they are COLD, CALCULATING, and PHONY and FAKE), implacable, unmerciful! Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death (as is shown in the reruns of 1000 Ways to Die from the old SPIKE cable channel), not ONLY do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1;18-32.
God Will Judge Everyone
“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest (like the Judges at the World Court of the UN do); for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself (WHOSOEVER IS FREE FROM SIN LET THEM CAST THE FIRST STONE); for thou that judgest doest the SAME things.“ Romans 2;1. This is why Jesus said in Matt. 7;1-3; “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged (also); and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother (like my ex-wife used to do) , but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye?“ Continuing in Romans 2 verses 2-11; “But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to TRUTH against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart (mind) reasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of WRATH and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; who will render to every man (or woman) according to his (or her)deeds! To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life! But unto them that are contentious, and do not OBEY THE TRUTH (of the Word of God), but obey unrighteousness (like my ex-wife does), indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man (and woman) that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile (the Heathen like my ex-wife); But glory, honor, and PEACE, to every man (or woman) that worketh GOOD, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile (or the heathen)! For there is no respecter of persons with God.“
Be Ready for the Return of Christ
The Apostle Peter wrote the following letter in 2 Peter 3;1-10; “This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance; that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior! Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days (the days we are living in now) scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers (of the faith) fell asleep (or died), ALL things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens (the FIRST, SECOND and THIRD heaven) were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water! Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water (by the FLOOD), perished! But the (SAME) heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment (the day of GREAT DISTRESS) and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as ONE day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to REPENTANCE. But the day of the Lord (the return of CHRIST) will come as a thief in he night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a GREAT noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.“ My dear friends and readers if that does not sound to you like a tremendous “DAY OF DISTRESS“ then I really do not know what else would it be! Verses 11-14 now; “Seeing then that ALL these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in ALL holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for NEW heavens and a NEW earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.“
