The Crow Chronicles #5
‘Gift of Deception – A Trojan Horse’
By Stephen Bennett 21/3/2024
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
‘Now as He (Jesus) sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:3-8
The Crow Chronicler in the previous blog #4 spoke of America being destroyed in this era, and in this blog piece #5, there will be a great deception permeating the earth, that will ultimately be a gift to release the Lord’s true Church to go against the evil end-time global system, and preach the Truth to the whole world.
Over 2000 years ago Jesus and His disciples sat on the mount of Olives; as His students they were deeply curious about the days we are actually living in now! The first thing I want address is, there will be an end of this age. I wrote a book some years ago called ‘The End – He who endures shall be saved’ (It is a free pdf-ebook download on the ETW website). Many Christians do not believe in an end and it is problematic, because if it were not true then most Biblical end-time prophecy would not make sense. Jesus said we must endure in this period and then our salvation will come.
Jesus answered the disciples on the mount, and the first thing he said is, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” He warns of this several times in chapter 24, along with specific signs and events that will happen. It is a sorrowful time for most of humanity unless you know God and the truth. The deception spoken of by Jesus in chapter 24 of Matthew precedes the preaching of the gospel to the whole world, and then the end comes. The Crow Chronicler in his encounter with God, over 2000 years into the future, is also told this, and it is a gift which will help make way for the Lord’s True Church to arise and reach the world.
The true Church of this era has to be strong and know how to live, navigate and be prepared for the testing and chaos that is coming on the world. What the Crow Chronicler saw and heard from the Holy Spirit back in 2020, is that we are currently entering into that day and era which began in the collision with the global pandemic.
Since then the world has accelerated into a new time heading toward an end. For the Church it has been one of preparation and prioritizing what is important. For some this can all be overwhelming but now we must intelligently question and enquire “What have I given my life to? How do I navigate this time? Where is it all heading?”
We are certainly in an era of great spiritual war; before you read what has been Chronicled about these times the following song may inspire you. I began to write this end-time song in the early 80s, and finished and recorded it in the early 90s. A prophetic song of war declaration called The Sound, from my then album Hear the Sound. Before you read this chronicle, have a listen loud, on this link from stephen bennett music TV on Youtube. Have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying (Revelation 3:22). These are the signs of the times.

New Era - New Sequence of History
We are certainly now in the End-Times / the Last Days. The world as we know it will radically change and accelerate 2024+ (politically, economically, & spiritually). There will eventually be an ending to all of this, as clearly stated in the Bible (see Matthew 24). The rapid changes, precedes the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. The undoing of life as we know it will not be easy to accept for many.
However, in this time the Holy Spirit will continue to be poured out on earth, people everywhere are, and will awaken. Young and old alike, activated by the Spirit to see, hear, dream, and prophesy with vision and revelation. Hence these Crow Chronicles; this includes strategies in what to do, prophetic warnings, specific things that will happen, and needed direction in how to respond to what God is saying, with all that is coming on the earth. We must strengthen our hearts in these increasing difficult days, be encouraged, run and not get weary, and be in positive hope for our coming salvation in Christ.
The Crow Chronicler
I have repeated this in previous posts, but for those who are new to the Crow Chronicles, the prophetic writer is a good friend. He is an older believing man; solid in faith for decades, highly professional and creative in business, and a family man all his life.
The past 8 years, he’s been captured by the Spirit of God in his dreams and visions, mainly in the night hours, with such clarity, about things he knew nothing about previously. He’s faithfully written down what the Lord shows him, and it has even been fearful at times to share with church leaders, people, family and friends, as it could sound crazy. As God shakes the nations in these last days, many will experience the ‘invasions of God’s Spirit’ in our lives. Hear the prophetic trumpeting of God in the 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 not unlike a prophet of old; the Spirit of God invades his life and he has no choice but to listen, and diligently write what the Lord says. We partner with him in this series of blogs named, The Crow Chronicles. Why? We want to reach out and encourage the many in the world that will also be experiencing the newness of a growing outpouring of God’s Spirit. At this stage we still choose to honor the privacy of this God fearing gentleman, and see where Holy Spirit leads. The following is the full unedited text written by the Crow Chronicler; a timeline of the Gift of Deception like a Trojan Horse. It reads like a dark streamed apocalyptic movie, but again, like Matthew 24, let it speak for itself and inspire you to learn and be prepared…
Chronicle original text:
IMPORTANT: (This post follows on from Crow Chronicles #4 ‘America Destroyed’ - read on ETW Blogs))
2020 12.16 now 2:48am
‘I believe He (God) NOW wants to knit together a basic timeline, so that I can understand: The initial entry (Crow Chronicles #4 previous post) above speaks of lots of different events- but condensed into one writing. It was written on 2020 04.24, and spoke of 1.) a “Trojan Horse” “that contains the seeds of destruction within, and will give “birth” to a new, previously unseen, but POWERFUL enemy.”’
‘I believe that we are NOW in this time period. From the introduction of the “pandemic”, God’s children have been in a “time of preparation” and of “reprioritizing”, as described within the entry on ***2020 03.14 (***which also explains WHY He is doing this), 2020 04.01, and others.’
At some time following, there will be 2.) a “gift of deception” (unless this is the SAME as the “trojan horse”- which it may be), 3.) a “false hope”, 4.) a collapse of the economy, 5.) a “great turmoil in our government” (possible assassinations), 6.) and “a revealing of her darkened corruption within”.(which I believe will be the “rise of the Phoenix” that He told me about- the giant corrupt tech, financial, pharma, agriculture, and military industries as described on 2020 08.29- and below) 7.) an attack of the U.S. by “Russia and China”, 8.) a collapse of America “as a fallen giant” There will then be 9.) “an eclipsing of the sun from this nation”. 10.) China and Russia will “divide the spoils”, and 11.) other major “communication and tech giants, bankers, and large capitalists” will converge- only to be “swallowed” by the two competing “powers”. 12.) A “church who seeks a place within the new kingdom” will “prostitute” herself at this time, as will others. 13.) America will sink “beneath the wave-caps above the depths of the ocean”, become a “planting field for industry and agriculture for the new world superpowers.’
‘God THEN goes back and describes, in more detail, what happens AFTER the “gift of deception”, and 14.) “the time of terror- when the world is changed forevermore”- for THIS will be 15.) “the valley of decision”, before 16.) the rising of His Church from the parched and “dessert-ed plain” as He has described to me. At that time, 17.) “My church, will stand as a rebel force- saving souls and preaching the Gospel.” 18.) and, per other entries, the superpowers recede back to their power bases, and other Biblical wars follow- including the final war against Israel.’
‘Questions:
1. What is the Trojan Horse”?
1. This was written on 2020 04.24. Then a little over a month later on 2020 06.03, Klause Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF”), announced a “Great Reset” for the social, economic, and political future of the world. On 2020 06.01, TWO days before the “Great Reset” announcement, God gave me another update- speaking again about “‘Tyre’, our collection of giant, satanically-controlled companies- Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, etc.. These ARE, EXACTLY, the players of the WEF’s “Great Reset”. Wow. That 06.01 entry ALSO included the “sinking of a great ship”, other previous images, and a vivid description of these “agents of the enemy” behind the hidden agenda before us.’
https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/timeline-great-reset-agenda-event-201-pandemic-2020/
2. What is the “gift of deception”?
‘I don’t know. Initially i believed that it MAY be the feinting re-election of Donald Trump, or the election of Joe Biden. Both could be possible. But I feel that I have also been “told” that Trump may be assassinated, or something else on January 6th- I am NOT clear. I feel that God will soon reveal more. This may also be the vaccination that is now spoken of. Not sure what it refers to.’
‘One more thing:
On 2020 11.10 (above), I felt I was to consider also the entry on 2020 08.29.
⁃ This again is condensed- part before the election, part directly after (now), part to come VERY soon (possibly in early January) 2021, and the major “rise of the Phoenix” in late January. It WILL shift in early January, with a deadly domestic political turmoil, then a rapid expansion of the players of “technocracy”- believing that this is their golden opportunity.
⁃ AFTER these things, the attack will change and be shockingly increased with the simultaneous surprise attacks of Russia and China- who will blindside even the giant communication, technology, and financial players. America sinks, and God’s true Church is then hidden and protected. People of an undeveloped faith and unbelievers, flee from America, and the enemy’s battle shifts overseas- most probably to Israel- in which she is attacked by Russia from the north, and by China, with a prophesied “army of two hundred million” from the east- as foretold in the Book of Revelation and throughout Scripture (Revelation 9:16). Selah’
2020 12.22 now 2:47 am ****
‘This morning, I just read the Book of Nahum, and the parallels with today are un-mistakeable to see. It also parallels the journal entry above that God gave to me on 2020 04.01. Nahum is prophesying against the great and mighty capital of Assyria- Nineveh. A city with surrounding walls 100 feet high with towers reaching another 100 feet above that. The wall’s rampart above was wide enough for 3 chariots to ride abreast. Surrounding the city wall was a huge moat- 150 feet wide and 60 feet deep. Nineveh was the greatest and mightiest city on earth- and Nineveh was evil. It was seen as impenetrable to all. But fifty years after Nahum prophesied against it, Nineveh was attacked by Babylon, invaded, and burnt to the ground.’
‘It was “attacked” by an overflowing “flood” of the Tigris River (“as in the Days of Noah,” of Revelation, AND as alluded by the “bulwarks” shown in 2020 04.01); “invaded” through the subsequent decayed and damaged foundation of the great wall of protection; and then burnt with its own timbers. And, I STRONGLY believe that Nineveh is the “Fortress” noted above- and represents US. The United States of America. It is but a time of God’s replanting of the garden- and we are the weeds.’
‘Just as the downfall of Nineveh freed the previously overthrown Kingdom of Judah, the downfall of the U.S. will “free” God’s people- His remnant Church- which He will protect, hide, and save during the attack on America by the escalating forces of the enemy- first by the corrupt institutions and corporate giants within, and then by the forces of first Russia, and then China, who each plot unilateral invasions against us. God’s remnant Church will survive as “flowers in the desert-ed plain”, as He described to me earlier, and as did the Kingdom of Judah.
2021 01.13:
I believe that Russian and China are the “ram” with two unequal length horns- Russia being the shorter, and China being the longer.
(Later:)
2022 07.07
‘On 2020 04.24 God again showed a new union formed by Russia and China, who then attack us. TWO YEARS AND TWO MONTHS LATER, China and Russia announce their new strategic partnership. Wow!’
‘Wow- this new alliance between China and Russia, BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY 2022, was foretold to me over TWO YEARS AND TWO MONTHS prior to that event. This is exactly what He had showed me then. Wow..
It IS a “new sequence” of history.
Blog Writer:
As the end-time Church in these days, we must give our complete trust, and surrender to the will of God to walk by faith in every facet of life. We’re in a spiritual war unlike any time in history, and the ‘hidden Church’ is and has been prepared, in the crucibles of much testing and chaos in the world over many years. The Church is also in as much a ‘reset’ as the globalists in the world are trying to push. In these times you cannot only just rely on the paradigms of religious church organizations as we’ve known them. The last days Church has to move with the Lord and His Spirit and adjust and change for the end days ahead.
There is also a new end-time sound coming from the Church that will permeate the earth reflecting this dynamic shift (more of that in a later blog; a message I have written, sang, and prophesied about for nearly 40 years).
As this one man has chronicled like no other I have ever met, it’s now obvious to me that my friend’s writings and voice has been made ready with revelation for these days. I encourage you to pray, & seek God, so that you truly know Him and the truth of these times, and as the following song asks, ‘are you kneeling in the flames / hearing heaven / searching with tears and smiles for the bliss’

Final Thought
Blog Writer: None of us have been in the end of the end-times before! We must be ready, and be true sons and daughters of God, ‘led by the Spirit’ (Romans 8:14). The shifts and changes are accelerating upon us, and we all need to know how to navigate the chaotic and pressured times ahead. If you struggle, God has a family / church / company of people / tribe / a place where you’ll fit; ask God and he will show you.

As we say: More chronicles to come… as the crow flies…
Repeated Epilogue: It’s a New Era
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 since the pandemic, and will not be ever again… Slowly…a ‘New much needed Awakening’ has emerged in the world, but now in March 2024, it is rapid. Not just in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are informed and awakened to the lies, resisting the deceptions and agendas of this world, that were, and are still being enforced upon humanity.

End Time Writers
In 2021, God told me to start www.endtimewriters.com to help encourage a new breed of bold writers and creatives in this time. Since then I wrote a book on the last book of the Bible, called, Revelation - The Terrible and the Good. (Written in a creative, movie style, in the first person of John. It has helped many, to more understand the Bible book of Revelation. See website with my 12 books, 8 available as FREE pdf-ebook DOWNLOADS as at this time we choose to ‘sow them’ to you).
Also check my previous blogs relevant to this piece; ‘Crow Chronicles #1,#2,#3,#4’&‘Wake Up! New Normal? Really?’
Yes! We are in the Midst of Great Change
THIS IS IMPORTANT. God is gathering His believing people. 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, wake up, and use your critical thinking; intelligently question things, and seek answers, don’t put up with these situations!
2 Corinthians 7:11 ‘In all things YOU proved yourselves to be clear in this matter’
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 end-time 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 happening in 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). ‘And He (Jesus) said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.” (Luke 21:8)
World Deceived
The whole world will eventually be deceived by false religion and 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 allow it all; Why? To get the full 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 be a part of the gathering remnant Church, to learn how to navigate life with your purpose, in the onslaught of a crumbling world system who’s time is short.
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 of deception?” “Do I really know the Lord Jesus Christ?” “Am I waiting on the Lord and following the Holy Spirit?” “Am I ready to be gathered?” “Did He really talk about an end of all things?”
The last question… is a loud yes… Jesus spoke much in the gospels about the end. 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 will 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.
Is ‘normal’ coming back on earth? Not now. Follow the words of the Lord and you will find out… stay awake! (Joel 2:1, Matt 24, Luke 21).
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.
As the Crow Chronicle has said: 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 latex suit with a pitch fork and horns? No, but in religion… 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 (contemporary or otherwise), and the demonic jezebel spirits that drive them, abuse… (some brutally, often sexually). They deceive, dilute, rob, steal, control, punish, blind, merchandise, serve ‘god money mammon,’ and grip the hearts of seekers however they can; in an attempt to keep people away from truly knowing the Lord, and often not realizing they are doing it.
Some are so subtle you can’t see it straightaway, others are obvious to the knowledgeable; the worst…look like Christian but they are not… some are just big companies now, run by CEO’s that use you for their ends, even though their original intention my not have been. The percentage of deceptive leaven may be lower, but Jesus warns us to be completely aware of it (Matthew 16:6-12). Jesus 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! Now we are in 2024 and the years are flying by, the normal as we knew it pre-pandemic ended… (the world was already spiraling out of control until then). So what is our normal now?
New normal has emerged as not normal at all! Yes… really; and we still have to get on with life each day… The Holy Spirit is pouring out on all flesh (Acts 2:17); the Church is gathering, the question is, “What will you do?”

After-thought
“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.
