The Freedom Come Rain Newspaper hosted its second lecture series under the Freedom Talk banner on Monday, October 21, 2024. The lecture was done by Apostle Jeffrey Shuttleworth at the Tarrant Baptist Church and was focused on Signs of the End Times in 5785. Here are some of the signs that were highlighted.
- Wars will intensify
This is the year when the war drums will beat louder than ever. You will have many proxy wars continuing and Satan would have and would want the major war, World War 3 to actually manifest in 5785. We need to pray, because the church of the living God still needs more time. There are still many out there who are not saved, but the war drums are beating louder, and you are going to have many more proxy wars and you will hear of persons and institutions seeking to manufacture World War 3. We know that it has already started, but it has not yet taken shape, but there are those who want it to happen right now. As the people of God pray, there will be a delay, so as to benefit the many others who still do not know Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God as Lord and Saviour.
2. Knowledge increasing
Undoubtedly, we are living in a world where knowledge has increased exponentially and continues to increase rapidly. In the 1900’s, knowledge doubled every 100 years. In 1945, knowledge doubled every 25 years, and presently, knowledge doubles every 12 hours. As such, those of us who handle information, such as educators, preachers, scientists, and medical practitioners, can’t believe that what is discovered today will remain current tomorrow. Every day, there are new discoveries. This is one of the major signs that we are actually in that era that was prophesied through the mouth of Daniel—that knowledge shall increase. Satan is using this to his advantage as well, but the people of God, as grace is being poured out upon us, especially in our mouth, we will be able to capitalise in great ways as well.
3. Truth Not Known/Embraced
Although many persons are studying and have information at their fingertips due to increased access to technology, they are ever learning and are yet to come to the knowledge of the truth. Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God is the way, the truth, and the life. If you don’t acknowledge Him, you will have knowledge, but you would not know truth, because the wisdom of this world is foolishness unto God. With the explosion of knowledge, one would have expected that the people would have become wiser and have a better chance of knowing the truth, but this is not so. We have seen the rise of lies, fake news, and false doctrines. Although we have an ocean of information, most people do not know the basic truths found in the Bible. Apostasy is at a level that we have never seen before.
4. Weather Manipulation/Geo-engineering
Human beings have taken on God-like complexes because they can explain certain phenomena that were mysterious, that were inexplicable. With the advancement of science and technology, they are saying they don’t need to pray to God anymore, and this has given rise to weather manipulation and geoengineering. One of the ways this is being accomplished is through stratospheric aerosol injection. This is also called chemtrails or cloud seeding. Chemicals are released into the atmosphere to manipulate weather conditions and the climate. There are talks about climate change, but this involves manipulating the weather using chemicals and other things. God is the one who causes the hurricane and the storms, but through science and research done over the years, and by watching the behaviour of these systems and being able to break them down using radar and specialised equipment, scientists are now influencing the behaviour of these weather systems as well. Both Hurricane Helene and Milton were interfered with through stratospheric aerosol injection. All of this is in an effort to advance the diabolic ideology of climate change. God has said He would be causing the four elements of creation—water, air, fire, and earth—to speak like they have never done before. Satan is trying to mimic God through man by causing erratic weather patterns. Another example of knowledge increasing is HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program). This sends out strong geo-magnetic, electro-magnetic waves, which cause the environment to heat up and energise matter. These are released from different angles and would target particular places like the clouds and different parts of the atmosphere.With this, man can cause the weather to become erratic. It also causes the earth to become warmer.
5. Facial Recognition
This is a form of artificial intelligence (AI). While facial recognition is now optional, it won’t be in the future. As seen before, once a voluntary option is accepted by enough people, leaders generally make it mandatory. If enough persons in Jamaica were to sign up for it tomorrow, the true colours of the beast would become obvious. Satan wants it to be global through what is called the beast system. The rationale being given for this beast system is that it will help to reduce identity theft and fraud. The world is moving towards a dystopia. A dystopia is a fictional society that imposes a harmful, oppressive, and miserable existence upon its members. It is a totalitarian society, where the rights, privileges, and freedoms that our fore-parents enjoyed over the years are being slowly taken away. Even more alarming is the accomplishment of Harvard University students who integrated a technology called “PimEyes facial recognition software,” which gives access to a person’s sensitive information that has been placed online. This is the reason for the major push to get everyone online.
6. Pact for the Future
The United Nations 79th General Assembly was one of the most telling of all assemblies. World leaders deliberated on the Pact for the Future that will affect present and future generations. Instead of moving towards righteousness, these leaders are moving further away. Under this pact, unelected people will have a greater say in how we live, even here in Jamaica. Among other things, they will seek to implement false rights, such as LGBTQ rights. The leaders are convinced that by 2030, the full beast system will be rolled out, but if the remnant pray and act as God instructs, this will not happen. The beast system will be unveiled globally, but not on their terms. With the focus on climate change, people’s way of life will be affected. Those living in the “digital ghetto,” otherwise called the smart city, for example, will be monitored and will have no privacy. A lot of the recommendations will be promoted as helping to make things convenient, but this is what will send many to hell. The digital compact, which was agreed on at the General Assembly, will also focus on creating a digital future for all. This will affect every aspect of our lives, including food and our ability to worship.
7. Ukraine playing with future
Ukraine is being used by the West as a pawn. Russia is becoming increasingly impatient, and Ukraine is seeking to go deeper. Ukraine is urging the USA to allow it to use long-range missiles, provided by the United States, to strike targets deep inside Russia. Russia has shown some restraint; however, at some point, they could say enough is enough. If Russia uses even a single tactical nuke against Ukraine, NATO would get involved, and that would bring the world one step closer to a war. There are now talks about the nuclear war. In a nuclear war, no one wins. Prophetically, Russia may very well attack the US at some point in time, if the Lord does not intervene.
