When Sudden Destruction Comes

"Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night."

Those were the words of apostle Paul written to the church of Thessalonica nearly 2000 years ago. I was reminded of that verse when a dear friend of mine who rarely receives any prophetic dreams and visions told me about a dream vision she did have on October 16 th of this year.

In this dream vision she was watching TV when a regular programming was interrupted with a message "destruction in 400 days." She felt that it was a warning that was issued once before and she had a sense of unease and foreboding, as well as a desire to warn others, but had no specifics of where this would take place and what kind of destruction it would be.

When we calculated 400 days from the time she received this vision, we arrived at the date of November 20, 2016. This day interestingly coincides with the end of the "holy year of mercy" of which the beginning Pope Francis proclaimed just yesterday and celebrated it with a show of nature photography using St. Peter's Basilica in Rome as the background.

Could it be referring to Rome? It is quite possible, but we just don't know for sure as we were not given any more information. What we do know for sure though is what the Scriptures tell us will happen in the end times.

The Book of Revelation clearly describes the destruction of the city of Rome in the end times and the Roman Catholic prophecies of st. Malachy as well as the third secret of Fatima seem to echo this as well, though I do not give them the same credence as I do to the Scriptures. But it is a very interesting convergence nevertheless.

Apostle Paul stated clearly that this sudden destruction will be a form of judgment upon  unbelievers and their world system and he charges us to be "sober" and "alert." We can see that the various parts of the world system are unravelling right now and the world leaders including the Pope are trying to use the issue of climate change to bring global unity, calling effectively for UN to begin acting as de facto world government.

This in turn will only pave the way for the appearance of the man whom the Bible calls the Antichrist, who will eventually become a global dictator. In addition to that, just recently, there was a conference held in the United States regarding the ethics of a new technology of DNA editing  that will in theory allow scientists to delete genetic mutations that cause a disease, but it will also alter a person irreversibly in possibly unforeseen ways as well.

Now we have the power  not only to destroy our environment, but also to alter our own genetic code. The Bible warned us of the consequences of that in the story of Noah's flood, in which God was forced to intervene because His creation was being corrupted by genetic experiments done on both animals and human beings by fallen angels. Most people focus on the sin of violence as a reason for this judgment, but a careful study reveals that there was much more going on than that.

Jesus warned us that the days before His second coming would be just like the days of Noah and this is what is happening now. God promised that he would not completely annihilate the world, but He will intervene by destroying the corrupt world system before it destroys the earth.

I encourage all my readers to watch  following video that deals with those very issues.
