Why Not Delay Another Seven Years? 00:06:19
This first question, why do you believe we can't kick the ball down the road another seven years?
Yes.
The thought that I'm zeroing in on has just hit me this week since I've been here.
And the more that I've thought about it in the last couple of days, the more I realize that this is really a profound thought of why we can't kick the ball down the road or why we better hope we don't kick the ball down the road another seven years.
You know, a number of prophetic teachers have been, oh, I don't want to mention any names of prophetic teachers are in agreement that the seven-year Shemitah cycle is very important that it's going to coincide with the coming seven-year Great Tribulation.
Okay, does that make sense?
Okay, well, the seven-year Shemitah cycle that we're in right now is ending this September.
Okay?
We're talking weeks away.
Literally, two and a half months, eight weeks, ten weeks.
You know, we're down to weeks.
Yes.
And we're going to enter, we're going to end the seventh, seven-year cycle.
And the year following the seventh-year cycle is the year of Jubilee.
It will be another seven years before we begin another seven-year cycle.
It'll be another 50 years before we begin another 50-year Jubilee.
It'll be over 400 years before we see another tetrad of four blood moons on Jewish holy days.
So it's like many prophetic teachers are saying it only makes sense that the seven-year Great Tribulation will start during the first year of the next seven-year cycle, and the beginning of that next seven-year cycle is in September.
Okay?
So it's like a number of prophetic teachers are kind of looking for a way out, and they're saying, well, if it doesn't start this coming seven-year cycle, we can just kick it down the road for another seven-year cycle.
And I've been saying it really doesn't make sense that we can just keep kicking it down the road because we've got too much converging.
We not only have all of these cycles that are all coming together, but we've got in the geopolitical, in the global events, everything that's happening, the leaders of our country, I don't even want to go there, but you know what I'm talking about.
You know what I mean?
America is in trouble.
So the thought that hit me is that if the Great Tribulation is kicked down the road for another seven years, there are coming events that we cannot kick down the road.
We are heading for a global economic collapse, and there'll be no kicking that down the road.
There are a number of prophets who are hearing from God, hearing from the Spirit of God that politically unheard of events are going to happen in America in the next year or so.
Yeah, I can't believe how many prophets are getting confirmations that we might not even see another presidential election.
So here's the point that hit me.
If the Great Tribulation is kicked down the road for another seven years, there are catastrophic events that are going to happen globally and that are going to happen in America that we can't kick those events down the road.
These things are going to be happening in weeks to months during the next year.
And what this means is, if the Great Tribulation gets kicked down the road seven years, we are going to see the breakdown of America.
We're going to see changes in America like we can't almost imagine.
And can you just think about us having to go through seven years for the next seven years Shmita cycle?
Can you imagine the breakdown of America to where we literally, you've seen the movie many of us years ago, the Mad Max movies, where there was just total anarchy in America?
Can you imagine if things are kicked down the road for another seven years, we can't stop what's going to happen globally and what's going to happen in America in the next year.
So that would mean we could literally see anarchy and the breakdown of America that could last for seven years while we wait for the next seven years Shmita cycle.
Seven years from now, if we have to wait seven years for the Great Tribulation to start, we are in big trouble.
None of us have prepared to go through seven years before the Great Tribulation even starts.
And you know, the reason I just said why I don't believe we can kick the road down, kick the can down the road, is because, you know what the Bible says?
The Bible says, I will shorten the days least no one survives.
Well, you know what?
It's going to be so bad, right?
That no one would survive if God didn't shorten it.
That's right.
But you see, you have to look at which days can be shortened.
The seven years can't be shortened because it's written in the word.
That's right.
You know what I mean?
All the divisions of those seven years, you can't shorten those because it's written in the word.
That's right.
The only thing you can shorten is the birth pains and the days of trouble that will lead to To the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
Slow-Burning Economic Collapse 00:00:31
And you see, this is why I believe we can't kick the ball down the road.
We are entering into the beginning of that seven-year cycle starting this September.
And you know, there are prophets that are saying God has shown them very clearly we're going to see the beginning of an economic collapse in September, and that we will see a slow-burning economic collapse that will domino and ripple around the world in September, October,
