The Crow Chronicles #1
‘Prelude to Calamity’
By Stephen Bennett 5/1/2024
Dreams, Visions, Revelations, End-Time Voices
The days we live in are remarkable; especially for those with eyes wide open, and ears to hear. 2023 was the beginning of an acceleration of global awakening and end-time revival that will never stop. Post pandemic; it is a cognizant realization for many, that much of what the world system has become… is a lie. Hearts and minds are being ignited with new hunger for what is real and true; physical, spiritual, and all that life encompasses. Questioning, enquiring, asking the important: “What have I given my life to? What is the future about to unfold? What should I do?” Are you one of those people?
The perspective in this piece, as with many thousands of others around the world is… we are in a new era of history called the end-times. A period in the not too distant future, where the world as we know it will not only radically change, but there will be an ending, as clearly stated in the Bible. It precedes the return of this world’s Creator who made the earth and the universe, where He will redeem, what and who belongs to Him.
It sounds like a fairytale, an apocalyptic streaming movie, but I declare to you today, this is THE TRUTH. It’s also happening very fast and is accelerating before our eyes. No, not in ‘years to come’… but now!
‘I Will Pour Out Of My Spirit’
The big question I have been praying in the last few years has been, “Lord teach me to navigate this new future as none of us have ever been here.” Fortunately God has provided the way for us to do this; surrendering our lives to Him, and following Holy Spirit in everything in daily life, amidst all the change, chaos and challenges. Here is an end-time prophesy from the scriptures that shows us clearly what is happening now…
‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.’ (Act 2:17, Joel 2:28).
Awakening
The verse states, there is such a great continuous outpouring of the Spirit of God on the earth. It’s in our time - the ‘last days,’ awakening young people and old alike, being activated to see, hear, dream, and prophesy with vision and revelation. Undoubtedly, this will include clear strategies in what to do, prophetic warnings, specific things that will happen, and the direction in how to respond with all that is coming on the earth.
Understand this: Father God looks after those who are His around the world, and will not leave us groping in the dark about last days truth and reality.
I have spoken much over the years through my books, songs, TV and media work, about the prophetic and governing flow of the Spirit through music to emerge in these days. But this blog, the Crow Chronicles, is about the spirit of prophecy flowing through all flesh of mankind, revealing the testimony of Jesus before His second coming (Revelation 19:10). Giving His Body, the Church, insight, warning, revelation, to understand and prepare, before the world descends into the utter chaos of the end-times.
The Crow Chronicler
I have one such friend, an older believing man; solid in faith for decades, a professional and creative all his life. For the past 8 years, he’s been literally captured by the Spirit of God in his dreams at night, with such clarity, revelation and new understanding; things he knew nothing about previously. His faithful writing and chronicles of what the Lord showed him is prolific and specific over those years, yet, it’s even been fearful for him to share with church leaders, people, family and friends, as some thought him perhaps crazy - for what he has seen literally shakes their world perceptions. And indeed so, as God said in these last days, ‘I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations (Jesus)’ (Haggai 2:7).
My friend’s experience is like a prophet of old; the Spirit of God invaded his life and he had no choice but to listen, and diligently write what the Lord said. He’s wondered for many years, what to do with them, but now as we enter 2024, we have embarked upon a series of blogs aptly named, The Crow Chronicles. Why? At this stage to honor his privacy, but we want to reach out and encourage the many in the world that will also be experiencing the growing outpouring of God’s Spirit in this hour, with strategies in how to navigate this future and BE READY for it!
Elijah the Prophet
As a preface to this story, there is a great lesson applicable to us now. In the time of Elijah, king Ahab and his evil wife Jezebel, were ruling in Israel, provoking the Lord like no other. Elijah prophesied and told the king a great drought on the land is coming, then all hell broke loose…
‘…Elijah said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” Then the word of the Lord came to him (Elijah), saying, “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”… The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.’ (1 Kings 17:1-7)
Today 2024, post pandemic, we also see across all life, great evil rising in the world. At the same time, God is also pouring out His Spirit in all the earth, to work through those who will listen. Elijah was protected by God and sent to a river and the miracle of ‘home delivery Ravens’ (let’s call them Crows!). They came and fed him bread and meat day and night as he drank from the river. Notice they fed him ‘bread and meat,’ not bread and milk (Hebrews 5:12-14).
At this time, the Prophet Elijah’s voice needed the complete ‘buffet’ array of understanding the ‘bread of heaven,’ which is Christ, and the deeper meat of solid food revelation, vision, the hard sayings of God, and a fuller perception; he needed this ‘food’ ‘day and night.’ The ‘food’ would help prepare Elijah for his next immense chapter, in what he had to do in navigating his future; especially when he eventually got to Mt Carmel and chopped off the 450 heads of Jezebels false Baal prophets (1 Kings 18:40). Who does that!?
By then, Elijah was anointed, fearless, and ready for that radical task. He completely broke the back of demonic control over Israel, that brought about the demise and death of Jezebel, and ended the drought!
What has happened to my friend, has a similar parallel. He and his family have been faithful believers all their lives, but now the Spirit of the Lord has touched this ‘older man’ with profound messages and revelation of God’s word by the Spirit. He continues to ‘drink the river of God’ in daily life, despite it seems, with the ‘drying up’ and shaking of the world.
Like the ‘Ravens’ that bought the prophet Elijah meat and bread, God has continued to feed my friend with end-time truth. The encounters have been rigorous and at many unplanned times not of his choosing. Now his voice is ready with revelation for these days. May The Crow Chronicles also feed you this day, as you awaken to the reality of the times we live in.
The following are excerpts of one of many of my friend’s encounters with the Lord, where God is now actively engaging with an urgency to communicate clearly to the world what is specifically ahead. Details of warnings, specific happenings, and the how’s of responding to these moments with the outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord… that many of you will no doubt soon experience in these last days. At his request the original text has been left exactly as he received it…
Prelude to Calamity - 14th March 2020 6.30am As the Crow flies…
Chronicle original text, Pt 1:
“2020 03.14 ******* now 6:30 am
prelude to calamity….WOW
“(Later AM: Beginning right after midnight, I was awoken, off and on, for hours throughout the entire night, with very little time of sleep- and praying for Him show me things and to give me understanding. Then, “suddenly”, (after about 6 1/2 hours of speaking to me), at a little before 6:30am, I KNEW and began to hear Him explain in vivid detail what is happening right now all around us- to give me perspective. Suddenly, He crystalized everything that He had been SHOWING me since last October (2019), and now began to TELL me about it. It is like He has done at other times, but with much more intensity- in which it feels as though He actually translates me into another reality with Him in which we are behind the scenery looking outward or downward at the situation. Crazy and exhausting. He also showed me how He had prepared me for this time over this past five months thru His near constant dreams, visions, and conversations with me. However, even right now- He allows me to intermediately slip back into that translated state in order to explain this):”
“I believe that God is beginning to knit together for me all of what’s beginning to happen. As He began showing me on October 1st of last year, the world is entering now into a new season. A season of HIS intent and of HIS making. A season in which He becomes DIRECTLY involved with the awakening, and with the saving of mankind- His children.”
Blog Writer: 2020, was the beginning of the progression of a new era of history that started to emerge in 2020 into 2021. God by the Holy Spirit was and is, intentionally becoming much more directly involved with man, in preparing for end time revival. It truly kicked off in growing global awareness in early 2023 from Asbury Kentucky, and has now begun to accelerate around the world. (read end-time blog)
https://www.endtimewriters.com/blog/a-new-era-of-history-begins
Our writer of this Crow Chronicle had been praying for God to show him things with understanding he didn’t have. He was weary, had little sleep, awoken on and off after midnight. Then God, who can turn up unexpectedly, poured it out around 6.30 am, suddenly giving vivid details of what is happening in the world, with a retrospective clarity to all God had shown him since October 2019. Like prophets of old, there was no choice but to respond to the Lord…
It was intense, crazy and exhausting, another reality of vision. He’d been prepared the past 5 months, with constant dreams, visions and revelatory conversations. All this, as the pandemic era is starting to happen; what timing! It was clear to him that the world was entering into a new season. An era where God becomes more directly involved by His Spirit with the awakening of humanity, and with the saving of mankind; His children. Now in 2024 we can look back and see this is 100% true.
Chronicle original text Pt 2:
“He (God) parallels this with the time of Noah, in which He also took DIRECT action to intercede into a world not of His approval. At that time, God decided to obliterate a sinful people and to begin afresh- with a clean slate. He had given mankind free-will in the Garden, and, through their choices, mankind lost its intimacy with God. Each did what was right in their own eyes, and His creation became an abomination to Him.”
“Beginning initially with Abraham, God began to show us a path of reconciliation and of redemption- a path TO Him through an intimate relationship WITH Him. He then began to intercede into the lives of His children on a personal level, and ultimately provided a means in which their sinful inner man could be “crucified” to death. A means in which man could live as a “new creation” within Him, and through His Son.”
“Beginning NOW, I strongly believe, God feels that, once again, it is time for Him to intercede. He has shown us the allusions of what will be happening at the End of His Age- what He had described cryptically through His prophets in the Old Testament and within Books like Revelation in the New Testament.”
“Everything is described allegorically through symbols and metaphors in order to conceal the reality of those, then, future times, while, simultaneously, picking the interest of those who desire to know more and, for those- to go deeper into understanding those “End Times”. I believe that He NOW desires to show us more. However, “to show us more” through a time period designed to FULLY get EVERY man’s attention- “so that none can be without excuse.”
Blog Writer: God shows us these last days are like the time of Noah was, before the mammoth world change brought by the flood. God also took direct action back then, to intercede into a dark world not of His approval. Mankind was lost and far from intimacy with God. Each did what was right in their own eyes. God’s creation was an abomination to Him.
‘And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man (Jesus return). They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.’ (Luke 17:26-27)
The Lord began to show man a path back to Him; of reconciliation and redemption through an intimate relationship with God. Where mankind may live as a new creation from within, through His Son Jesus. Our Chronicler saw God interceding for mankind as is written in scripture, and shows us what will be happening at the End of His Age. Now, He desires to show us more, through a time period now designed to fully get every man’s attention on earth - so that none can be without excuse. Why? ‘So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord…’ (Acts 15:17)
It is Time
Chronicle original text Pt 3:
“It is a time in which the snake first has two heads- and then many heads with which to attack. But a “snake”, a green one, above and over us, striking downward at its victims, without concern. It is a time of both global and personal tragedy and of revelation- in which He will finally begin to turn the eyes of His children onto Him and COMMAND their attention. God will now begin to take center stage in the hearts and conversations of His children. “And they will look upon the One that they pierced”, “and the hearts of His children will be moved”. ANY man who seeks Him WILL find Him. It is a time of rapid evolution, change, and of seeing. Time is a fluid dimension, and time will now be ‘shifted’ by the very Maker of that time, and of ALL that exists.”
“He (God) has described this to me as “the time of My calamity”, and “the time of My why”. The “calamity” speaks of a global awakening, while the “why” speaks to personal revelation to His individual children- an answering of their questioning of His sovereignty and of His greater plan for them. Therefore, this is both a time in which there is GLOBAL unrest and upheaval thru the destruction of global systems and institutions- finance, health, war, religion, politics, etc. This is designed to awaken the world as a whole, on a global scale. Everything man-made will be tested and will crumble. EVERYTHING. NOTHING will be spared, and NOTHING can any longer hold the power to deceive His children. This is a time of unmanageable illnesses, a time of the exposing of corrupted political systems, of the sudden invasions of countries- during a time of weakness and confusion, and a time in which our man-made, self-righteous and deceptive religious organizations fail to provide to us the comfort and salvation promised. It is, on one hand, a time of falling away, a time of global apathy; and simultaneously, it is a time of revealing the true nature of the man-made institutions created to distract us and redirect us away from God. A time to clearly see the power behind the tempting of the apple- behind the coaxing of “for you could be as God”. Therefore, any masquerading and concealing illusions will be destroyed- “and the merchants will wail and mourn their loss.”
Blog Writer: God does not hold back anything when He ‘pours out.’ It’s not like the safe contemporary religion we have been used to. The urgency and timing is poignant history. It’s now the time of experiencing both global personal tragedy, but also revelation - where God will finally turn the eyes of His children onto Him. The end-times is about commanding our full attention. God takes center stage in the hearts and conversations of His people, and anyone who seeks God will find Him.
As the Spirit increases in His outpouring, we’ll witness rapid evolution, and change, and in the way we are seeing. Time itself is a fluid dimension, and will now be shifted by God the Maker of that time, and of all that exists. God describes this as, “the time of My calamity”, and “the time of My why”. It is a global awakening amidst calamity, and also the new personal revelation to us individually. God will clearly answer our questioning of His sovereignty and greater plan for us. He wants it clear.
The paradox is, there’s global unrest and upheaval through the destruction of global systems and institutions - finance, health, war, religion, politics, etc. God designs this to awaken the world as a whole, on a global scale. Everything man-made is tested and will crumble. Nothing is spared, and can no longer hold the power to deceive God’s children. We are seeing this already, and the fulfillment of things are accelerating.
There will also be unmanageable illnesses, and the exposing of corrupt political systems. The sudden invasions of countries, during a time of weakness and confusion, and a time where man-made, self-righteous and deceptive religious organizations will fail to provide the comfort and salvation promised by the Lord. (This is all happening on earth…)
On one hand, it is a time of people falling away from faith into global apathy; and simultaneously revealing the true nature of man-made institutions created to distract us away from God. Our eyes are opened to see the actual demonic power behind the tempting of the apple in the Garden of Eden - behind the evil coaxing, “you could be as God”. These illusions will be destroyed - “and the merchants of the world will wail and mourn their loss” (Revelation 18:15-17).
God will be Revealed
Chronicle original text Pt 4:
“But, on the other hand, through this dis-robing of the structures in which we place our faith, GOD will be revealed, mourned, and sought after. Sought after by those not already LOST to their own proclivities, weaknesses, and desires. This is a time of choices, of the “dividing of His sheep from the goats”- but a “dividing” by their own choices. The choice of pursuing darkness or of pursuing light- of pursuing evil or good- or, of holding tightly the cravings of a depraved soul or of pursuing God. The choice of eternal destruction or of Eternity. “
Blog Writer: The structures of the world that we have placed our faith in will be exposed for what they are; God will then be revealed, mourned, and sought after. It’s a time of choices; the “dividing of His sheep from the goats,” a “dividing” through our own choices (Matt 25:32). The choice of pursuing darkness or light, evil or good. Holding on tight to the cravings of a depraved soul, or pursuing God. The most important choice we’ll ever make; of eternal destruction or an eternity with God.
Count the Cost
Chronicle original text Pt 5:
“Every man must now personally count the cost and must now make a choice- “you are either for Me or against Me”- and the indecisive and “the lukewarm” will be “vomited from His mouth.” This is the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, and of “a great awakening”, so that every comfort will be shaken, every heel will be pricked, and every “why” will be answered. “Why me?”, “Why this?”, “Why would a loving God allow this to happen?” Every conscience will be seared, and every corrupted soul will be exposed to run naked from the rubble of its own destruction.”
Blog Writer: Now, all must count the cost and make a choice. God says “You’re either for Me or against Me”. ‘Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve’ (Joshua 24:15). The indecisive and “the lukewarm” will be “vomited from His mouth” (Revelation 3:16). Heavy language, but this is the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:17), a time of the “great awakening.” Where every comfort will be shaken and every “why” will be answered.”
The Crow Chronicler is fraught at this dreaming and vision and God’s emphatic clarity of involvement, and asks the Lord, “Why me?” “Why this?” “Why would a loving God allow this to happen?” A question millions ask; God is now making it plain for end-time humanity. Every conscience and ‘corrupted soul will be exposed to run naked from the rubble of its own destruction.’ Ah… God is so poetic…
God’s Greater Good
Chronicle original text Pt 6:
“But this is also “a time of His Greater Good”. A time of global endemics and of personal tragedy, but a time of unexplainable miracles and prophetic revelation to His children. A time of a shuttered darkness but, a time in which He opens a door of escape. A “Door”, however, of light and of hope, and a “Door” Whose opening reveals the green pastures of milk and honey beyond the collapsing ruin of Sodom.”
Blog Writer: We must be reminded; in the heart of all this is the purposes of God’s greater good and plan for humanity. There will be global endemics and personal tragedy, but it’s a hour of unexplainable miracles and prophetic revelation, given to God’s people who hear and follow Him. There is deep shuttered darkness in this world, but God opens doors of escape, of light and hope, revealing the blessings of green pastures of milk and honey beyond the collapsing ruins of the world of Sodom around us.
Old Men Dream Dreams
Chronicle original text Pt 7:
“This is a season in which “old men dream dreams”, and “young men see visions”. A time in which God equips not only a few so chosen, but also the masses of His children. Where EVERY person will hear His voice and know His Truth. A time of forerunners and of seers and watchmen for His people- like shepherds guiding His sheep. Where events are foretold and destinies are realized. This is a season of “suddenlies,” in which institutions are demolished and long-held beliefs are challenged and obliterated. A season in which lives are given up but not lost, and slumbers are awakened. A season of miracles, and of the unexplainable- except by God- and a season in which blinded eyes are fully and supernaturally opened.”
Blog Writer: This historic time on earth is where “old men dream dreams” and “young men see visions.” So be open and ready… for a time such as this, where God equips not only a few so chosen, but also the masses of all His children on earth. Where EVERY person will hear His voice and know His Truth.
It is a time of prophetic forerunners, seers and watchmen for His people; true shepherds guiding His sheep. Where events are foretold and destinies are realized. A season of “suddenness,” where institutions are demolished and long-held beliefs are challenged and obliterated. A season in where lives are given up but not lost, and slumbers are awakened. A season of miracles, and of the unexplainable - except by God - and a season in which blinded eyes are fully and supernaturally opened.
Two Events
Chronicle original text Pt 8:
“He has told me of TWO events that will soon happen through which He will be revealed- but He has chosen to only describe one of them to me thus far. This is the event at the university in which a generation of youthful, but deceived and blinded sheep, realize the tragedy of their following and of their deception. On November 3rd, last year (2019), He described these as “two incidents of God’s OVERT grace”- to proclaim Himself to everyone- “so no-one will be without excuse” for not believing in Him. Like a final wake-up call. The event at the university was only one of the “two incidents”- however, and I do not know of the second event besides its mention.”
“It is now 8:02 am, and this is the first time that He has stopped talking to me, and that I have paused from writing what I hear. “Ironically”, my wife and uncle are both still fast asleep- which, in itself, is an anomaly- and God has sequestered me in the living room by His fire for this chat.”
“Amazing God, Amazing Grace”
“(JUST as I finish His last words to me- “Amazing God, Amazing Grace”, I IMMEDIATELY hear my uncle opening his door, and, simultaneously, my wife’s footsteps above. Crazy) (Names withheld).”
Blog Writer: The Lord showed our intrepid Crow Chronicler two events that will soon happen, where God will be revealed. (1) An event at a university in which a generation of youthful, but deceived and blinded people, realize the tragedy of what they are following and of their deception. On November 3rd, 2019, the Lord described these as, “two incidents of God’s overt grace”- to proclaim Himself to everyone - “so no-one will be without excuse” for not believing in Him; a final wake-up call. The event at the university was only one of the “two incidents”- however, he did not know of the second event yet besides its mention.
As is written; at 8:02am 15th March 2020, it’s the first time that God stopped talking to Him, his wife and uncle are still asleep before they awake, as he pauses from writing what he has been hearing. God sequestered him quietly in a cozy living room by His fire for his chat… Amazing God, Amazing Grace!
A Global Movement of God
Chronicle original text Pt 9: Next nite:
2020 03.15 early am
“I just realized that the GLOBAL movement of God will, I believe, primarily involve the YOUTH. My dream about the university involved the youth- including the large revival meeting they orchestrated on their outdoor grassed court area to praise and thank God for the miracle He demonstrated in saving many of them from the impending slaughter. Also the dream of the children’s army, comparing them to the children’s army in Africa. It showed THE CHILDREN chasing down and vanquishing the enemy. I believe that the children, and the very “weakest” of God’s people will lead God’s battle to victory. A new generation of His warriors. This, I know, includes the prophecies about three of my family members; (names left out) in some way- but I really don’t know how or when- maybe later. This is NOT immediate- but is the beginning of a season of God’s overt grace, His exposed and obvious intercession, and of His salvation.”
Note:
2023 01.17
“Back on 2020 03.14 (above), 2020 03.16, 2020 03.20, 2020 04.01, 2020 11.10, 2020 12.05, and others, I had understood that soon (at that time), all of our trusted institutions and global system would be tried, tested, and exposed as corrupt:”
“According to this article from 2023 above, (and our own experiences), institutions now exposed as “corrupt” over this past few years include: The media, The “authorities”, The “experts”, The “science”, Govt health authorities, FBI, Social media platforms, Fact-checkers, Big Tech, Government, Corporations, Supranational organizations, Scientific/Academic journals, Academic institutions, Pharmaceutical companies (“Big Pharma”), CDC, NIH, FDA, WHO, WEF”
“EXACTLY as He had told me over and over again. Crazy…”
Blog Writer: As we come to the end of these particular outpourings of God’s spirit through the Chronicler, we see in this time of history a beginning of a new great global movement of God, primarily involving the youth of the world. God told him of a university involving the youth - including large revival meetings orchestrated on their outdoor grassed court areas to praise and thank God for the miracle He demonstrated in saving many of them. The dream also showed the children chasing down and vanquishing the enemies of God, even the very “weakest” of God’s people will lead God’s end-time battles to victory; His new generation of warriors. In retrospect this ongoing awakening could be heralded in the catalyst of the Asbury University Revival in Kentucky in Feb 2023. And since then the end-time revival around the world has been continuous in fulfilling these words of the Crow Chronicler.
So, he sits at the end of yet another immense download from God, but does not know how or when this all will be - future doubt. For he knew it was not immediate at that time and year (in 2020) - but understood we are in the beginning of a season of God’s OVERT GRACE, His exposed and obvious intercession, and of His salvation for humanity.
He also saw an escalation of trusted institutions and global systems to be tried, tested, and exposed as corrupt. The list is broad and long, encompassing much in society. Today in Jan 2024, we have seen much of this coming to pass, already. The Creator of the world is certainly at rapid work in His world, and is without doubt totally amazing…
As the Crow Chronicler sits by the fire in the lounge, his wife and uncle awakened, the doors open and they join him by the fire… Ahh… normal life! From the spiritually profound to the wonderfully human mundane… oh the perfect timing of God… yes dear scribe… Crazy!
Final Thought
Blog Writer: I sit here pondering my friends experiences, thrown into the supernatural fray of the deep end of the last days. He has been faithful to write down everything these past 8 years… I ponder the great future God has for he and his family, as one of many Fathers and Mothers of the Church being raised up in these days to help this generation navigate a time we all have never been in; the end-times.
(All Feedback / Questions, email: stephenbennettbooks@gmail.com or DM endtimewriters insta; or FB).
I too have chosen, like him, to not fear the change and calamity coming all around us. I turn to the prophecies of the sons of Korah in the Psalms who were in that great prophetic atmosphere of the Tabernacle of David, where they often prophesied on their instruments thousands of years into the future right down to our day now, where God WILL BE exalted among ALL nations…
‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth’ (Psalm 46:10) ‘Oh clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet’ (Psalm 47:1-3, the future prophesied by the sons of Korah)
The day is coming soon. Are you prepared, are you ready?
The ‘Crow’ has now flown, the Spirit is moving, get ready to be fed bread and meat from heaven; the solid food we truly need for these… the end-times!
More chronicles to come… as the crow flies…
Epilogue: It’s a New Day
In 2021, I wrote a blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world and in the Church.’ Things have never been the same, and unlikely to be so, ever again… Slowly… a ‘New Awakening’ has emerged, but at the end of 2023 into now Jan 2024, it’s also accelerating. Not only in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are informed and awakened to the lies, deceptions and agendas of this world, that were, and are, being enforced upon humanity, post the disruption and brutal attack on human health and immune systems in the pandemic. (read the blog at the following link)

End Time Writers
In 2020, God impressed upon me to really get ready and reacquaint myself with Biblical end-time truth and its message. In 2021, He said to start endtimewriters.com to help encourage a new breed of bold writers and creatives in this time. In the process, I embarked on a 15 part blog series on the last Bible book of Revelation, which is now a full book on the website, called, Revelation - The Terrible and the Good. (Written in a creative, movie style, in the first person of John. See website with my 12 books, 8 available as free downloads). Also check my previous blog relevant to this piece; ‘Wake Up! New Normal? Really?’
Yes! We are in the Midst of Great Change
If you are in a church / religious situation, and are experiencing or struggling in these following things: control, rejection, various abuse, not safe, not happy, being shut down, shunned, needing to conform to a culture without questioning. You can’t have an opinion that goes against the protocols of the movement or organization. To be truly involved and accepted you need to go through a series of conforming steps, that will change you to the culture’s ways. If it feels wrong and uncomfortable, be awakened, and use your critical thinking; intelligently question things, and seek answers, don’t put up with the situations. Explore new possibilities, study and know the word, learn to navigate your spiritual life and relationship with Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit, relevant to the world we live in now. If you lack wisdom ask God and He will make a way liberally… (James 1:5).
Always ask for wisdom in every circumstance. (Proverbs 8:9-11)
Always trust in the Lord first (Psalm 37)
The Holy Spirit, expressly says these things are for our time; take heed. ‘For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived’ (Rev 18:23).
World Deceived
The whole world will eventually be deceived by world leaders all connected of one mind and purpose, who eventually give all their power and control to the demonic beast satanic system of world government (Rev 17:17). We cannot stop this from happening, as God Himself will actually cause it all; to get the attention of mankind and give last opportunities for salvation, and to ultimately fulfil all His words of prophecy, then Jesus will return to earth to claim all that are His.
It’s clearly time to wake up, and we must learn how to fight and navigate life and purpose in the onslaught of a crumbling world system who’s time is short. No, we won’t go back to normal pre-2020… really? Wake up! The Holy Spirit is pouring out on all the earth.
What is Your Life Worth?
Ask yourself, “What am I giving my life to?” “How do I navigate the future positively, in an ever changing world?” “Do I really know the Lord Jesus Christ?” “Am I following the Holy Spirit?” “Did He really talk about an end of all things?” In answer to the last question… a loud yes…! Jesus spoke much about the end in the gospels. If you are a Christian, the Bible says to be diligent, sober minded, prayerful, and watchful, knowing what is coming in the last days (Luke 21:36, 1Peter 4:7, 5:8, Rev 3:2). You can’t turn away, it is important to be keenly aware, not living in fear or worry, but secure in faith; anticipating that our salvation draws near, when Jesus does actually return to earth (Romans 13:11).
Your life is inherently wonderful and valuable to the Lord and for impacting this world. If you ignore this truth about the end of these days we live in… you are ignoring the word of God. The words of Jesus about these end days, are in scripture to wake us up; give us signs, wisdom and understanding. New normal on earth? I don’t think so… not now. Follow His words and you will find out… sound the alarm and ‘Wake up!’ (Joel 2:1, Matt 24, Luke 21). Remember now… the ‘Crows’ are flying with Holy Spirit, with many new words to help you…
(Writers must tell this world things the world needs to hear. Rise up writers; it’s time to say what people are not saying…).
Do you Believe?
I have heard Christians say, “I don’t believe in the end-times,” or “We don’t go there, it’s too negative and doesn’t help people’s lives in living their ‘best life.’” or “God is about love and He wouldn’t do that.” Oh really…? So we just read and believe the bits of the Bible that suit us, as if only some of the words are true? That is unintelligent, illogical, ridiculous and deceptive.
Ask yourself the question: “What type of Christian am I?” Here is a statistical fact; there are over 50,000 versions of Christianity on earth! No wonder people are confused; there is only supposed to be one… If you were the devil, where would you hide out the most? In your red suit with a pitch fork and horns? No, but in religion, old or new… as a false light, ‘and no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light,’ (2 Corinth 11:14).
Most false religions and cultic organizations, abuse (some brutally); deceive, dilute, rob, steal, control, punish, blind, and grip the hearts of seekers, in an attempt to keep people away from truly knowing the Lord. Some are so subtle you can’t see it straightaway, others are obvious to the knowledgeable; the worst… look like Christianity but they are not truly. The percentage of deceptive leaven may be low, but Jesus warns us to be completely aware of it (Matthew 16:6-12). He saw right through the Pharisees Judaic hypocrisy, and the false doctrines of the day, and had no problem calling them out (John 8:44).
The multi-religious confusion today, on every level, is a direct attack on humanity… for what is true, and should be spiritually normal and powerful. If you understand the Bible (and you can), the end-times are greatly spoken of; prophesied from the beginning to the last page. It’s also a great inherent part of the New Testament gospel, for it’s the culmination of everything that God has always intended for humanity; the earth, the heavens and eternity.
It’s never too late to believe. Jesus said, “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3,7)… that is your awakening! At the start of 2020, the normal as we knew it ended… (the world was already spiraling out of control until then). So what is normal?
New normal is now emerging as not normal at all! Yes… really; will you wake up and see? Listen to the squawk of the Crows; eat their bread and meat…The question is; “What will you do?”

After-thought
A wise believer once said, “God loves us so much that He accepts us the way we are. Nevertheless, He loves us so much that He won’t leave us the way we are.” The initial key to hearing His voice is repentance from independence, ambition, and selfishness. Why? As it was with Jesus, the vast majority of what He will lead us to do will be for the welfare and blessing of others. “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness”. 2 Cor. 12:7-9 NLT
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers” 1 Peter 4:7. Jesus said; ‘For the things concerning Me have an end’ (Luke 22:37b).
‘He (Jesus) who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”’ Rev 22:20.

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ‘But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a Church where you can grow.
