Next time they do something it will probably be another unprecedented thing, and it will be just as confusing. People won’t submit in another pandemic like the last one, and they know it.
That's one reason I think the next big thing might be the economic meltdown. We've seen the Trump Peace Plan unveiled, followed by the plague, then the breakdown of laws with the election fraud. Each move they make results in a backlash that makes it harder to do it all again. I think the next thing is monetary. Or perhaps some neutron bombs (small tactical nukes) in Ukraine. (I'm an optimist, I just can't help it)
Because of the wording in the Olivet Discourse as well as Luke 17 I think those next 2 come AFTER the Rapture (told y'all I'm optimistic)
2 Reasons:
1; because the people of the time are buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage, planting fields before the Lord comes to take us. IF that was at the end of the Trib, it would be anything but normal. Barry Stagner the other day on Jan Markell pointed out that Babylon is done for in Revelation BEFORE the Second Coming- the voice of the bridegroom is heard no more yet that happens before the Second Coming. Just 2 reasons I think that part of the Olivet discourse isn't quite the same time frame as the other bits.
2; because Paul mentions the ones left behind talking about peace and security THEN sudden destruction comes upon them and they shall not escape.
But I could be dead wrong.
I loved a book by the late PJ O'Rourke titled: All the Trouble in the World: The Lighter Side of Overpopulation, Famine, Ecological Disaster, Ethnic Hatred, Plague, and Poverty written back in 1995. In which he both outlined, and skewered the plans of the elite and what would become known as the "woke". He didn't mention global warming much because it was still recovering from the Global Cooling scare that didn't happen in the 70s. I let go of it, and I should buy it again for my kindle.
The chapter on overpopulation was titled Not enough of ME, and WAY TOO MUCH OF YOU!!! And he NAILED the attitude of the depopulation agenda folks. Long before Bill Gates had a foundation, long before Fauci had invested in Chinese labs or in big Pharma. Long before the Georgia Guidestones were carved out. Long before 911 and the Muslim Terror. He was right and he did it with humour.
Some places have sick separated from injured/not contagious waiting rooms or areas of waiting rooms. Some also separate out children because they're giant germ factories.
Wish it were like this everywhere.
That's how our emergency dept here is set up. The very upset kids, psychiatric emergencies and people with autism also have access to a quiet room to de-escalate tensions.
