A lot of difficult and stranger-than-usual events have been happening.
Notice the following:
June 27, 2020
A massive dust cloud, also known as a “Godzilla dust cloud”, arising from the Sahara desert just arrived at the US gulf coast. This happens every year but, things are a little different this time.
This year, the dust plume is so opaque, thick and large that it is clearly visible from space.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the 5,600 km long cloud travelled 8,047 kms from North Africa before making its downfall over the region stretching from Florida west into Texas, and north into North Carolina through Arkansas.
And, this weekend the massive dust plume will hover over the Southeast US. Experts say the that this year, the dust is the densest it has been in almost half a century. https://www.scoopwhoop.com/news/massive-saharan-godzilla-dust-cloud-in-us/?ref=page_cat
Worst in 50 years is unusual, but it is not the only event. Notice the following from Michael Snyder:
Really Bizarre Things Are Happening All Over The Globe
Just when you think that 2020 has been filled with enough trouble, even more stuff starts happening. Coming into this week, we were already dealing with a new COVID-19 surge which has pushed the number of daily cases to the highest levels we have seen so far, a global economy which is in the process of imploding all around us, massive civil unrest in U.S. cities from coast to coast, and giant swarms of locusts that are wiping out farms all the way from eastern Africa to parts of India. …
Let’s start by talking about an alarming new outbreak of locusts. …a brand new infestation that has erupted in Argentina, and one local official is saying that he has never seen anything like it ever before.
Just like on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, these little critters are voraciously gobbling up everything in sight, and countless farms are being destroyed. …
Now these swarms are heading for Brazil, and Brazilian officials are definitely extremely alarmed. …
On top of everything else, the west coast is starting to shake in a major way once again. On Wednesday, southern California was struck by a magnitude 5.8 earthquake…
Farther south along “the Ring of Fire”, Mexico was hit by a magnitude 7.4 earthquake on Tuesday…
But nothing can stop the inexorable march of time, and the deeper we get into 2020 the crazier it gets.
Unfortunately, the truth is that this “perfect storm” is just getting started, and that means that what we have experienced up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg. 06/24/20 http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/really-bizarre-things-are-happening-all-over-the-globe
Before going further, notice the following:
June 27, 2020
– The global number of coronavirus infections is steadily climbing toward the 10 million mark.
Johns Hopkins University reported early Saturday there are more than 9.8 million cases. https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/covid-cases-climbing-toward-10-million-0
Now notice also the following from The Most Important News blogger Michael Snyder:
Why Every Person In America Needs To Become A Prepper During The Second Half Of 2020
2020 has already been one of the worst years in modern U.S. history, and it looks like the next six months are going to be extremely challenging as well. But even though most Americans are expecting that things will return to “normal” in 2021 and beyond, the truth is that the “perfect storm” that we are witnessing is only in the very early stages. …
So even though the remaining months of 2020 will be chaotic, the truth is that things are going to get progressively worse as the years move along. That means that you should use this period of time to prepare for what is ahead of us, because at some point the window of opportunity to prepare will be closed for good.
COVID-19 should have been a wake up call for all of us. …
But if our society was extremely ill-prepared for a pandemic of this nature, what is going to happen when a pandemic that is much more severe hits us?
Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before a killer plague sweeps across the planet, and the Bible tells us that there will be “pestilences” in the last days. If you find yourself isolated at home for an extended period of time as millions of others are dying from a virus, will you be able to survive on what you have already stored up? …
Big economic problems are ahead as well. So far in 2020, more than 47 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits, more than 100,000 businesses have permanently closed their doors, …
Of course deteriorating economic conditions will fuel even more civil unrest. We have seen rioting, looting, arson and violence in city after city, and much more civil unrest is on the horizon. …
On top of everything else, food shortages are starting to occur all over the globe. …
Giant swarms of locusts the size of major cities are devouring crops in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, African Swine Fever has already killed about one-fourth of all the pigs in the entire world, and crazy weather patterns have been playing havoc with crop production all over the planet. …
Meanwhile, a major war could erupt in the Middle East at any moment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he will begin the process of annexing portions of Judea and Samaria in July, and Israel’s Arab neighbors have promised a very forceful response if that actually happens. …
I realize that things may seem very chaotic now, but the truth is that this is your window of opportunity to prepare.
I would take full advantage of that opportunity, because the clock is ticking. 06/25/20 http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/why-every-person-in-america-needs-to-become-a-prepper-during-the-second-half-of-2020
As far as famine goes, notice the following:
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
(Photo by Cancillería Argentina)UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. chief … warned the largest gathering of world leaders since the coronavirus pandemic began that it will cause “unimaginable devastation and suffering around the world,” with historic levels of hunger and famine and up to 1.6 billion people unable to earn a living unless action is taken now.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also told the high-level meeting on measures to help low- and middle-income countries cope with fallout from the crisis that it could lead to “a loss of $8.5 trillion in global output — the sharpest contraction since the Great Depression of the 1930s.” https://www.fox19.com/2020/05/28/un-chief-warns-leaders-pandemic-may-cause-historic-famine/
The Bible repeatedly warns about these times.
Notice what Jesus said:
4 … 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. 7 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 24:4-8)
News reports, such as in this post, show that all those things are happening now! It should also be noted that religious deception, in the form of an increasingly effective ecumenical movement, is also part of what Jesus warned about as these leaders say Jesus is the Christ, but deceive people by their false doctrines and objectives.
However, despite all that has been happening, notice that Jesus said the end is NOT yet, as these are only the beginning of sorrows.
Mark recorded that Jesus called this a time of sorrows and troubles:
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. (Mark 13:8-9).
And yes, Christians will face persecution, but also have an opportunity to provide testimony–that is also consistent with what the prophet Daniel was inspired to write:
33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; (Daniel 11:33)
24 … And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. 25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. (Daniel 7:24b-25a)
One of the reasons that the pompous leader will arise is because people will be concerned about their safety as after all of the four seals resulting in the riding four horseman of the Apocalypse have been opened (Revelation 6:1-8) the world will seem worse and people will turn to him. He will be a factor in the opening of the fifth seal (Revelation 6:9-111), the persecuting and other events associated with the Great Tribulation. But, despite the world turning to him, he will be a deceiver. Notice part of how he arises:
23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24)
This leader is also referred to by Daniel as the King of the North (Daniel 11:40) and the Good News Translation says this King of the North will “seize power by trickery” (Daniel 11:21).
Do not think you cannot possibly be misled–or at least think you have more time than you do.
Furthermore, the troubles and sorrows we are now seeing should be a wake up call to take action!
Notice what Luke recorded that Jesus said:
8 … “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. 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” …
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:8-9, 34-36)
Notice that Christians are not just to pray to be able to escape, but to be counted worthy to escape.
That means that they need to change and make sure that they are doing what God really wants.
Jesus also said:
35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. (Mark 8:35)
Yes, the most faithful need to support the proclamation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus only promises protection from what is coming to one set of Christians:
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie — indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! (Revelation 3:7-11a)
Pray to be a Philadelphian Christian and support the true Philadelphian work.
Sadly, according to Jesus most Christians in the end time will not do that and, thus, will be subject to the coming great tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22).
Zephaniah 2:1-3 warns that God’s people need to gather together before the decree–which will be a decree to flee–is issued so that some may be hidden from what will happen.
Do not be a lukewarm, Laodicean, Christian and think you are fine and do not need to change–Jesus warned against that in Revelation 3:14-22.
Don’t think that all that is happening around the world is insignificant and everything will be normal.
While there will be a temporary normalcy, and even a temporary peace deal coming to the Middle East (Daniel 9:27) after conflict there, we are getting increasing close to the end of this age.
Extreme events should be a wake up call to repent. To support the most faithful Philadelphian work (see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word and The Final Phase of the Work).
UPDATE 06/29/20. We just uploaded a video related to the recent bizarre happenings:
Bizarre Things are Happening: Beginning of Sorrows?
From the ‘Godzilla dust cloud’ to earthquakes to locusts in Africa, Asia (India), & South America (Argentina, Brazil) to increased cases of COVID-19 to Middle East rumors of war related to Israeli Prime Minister’s intent to annex Judea/Samaria against the wishes of the Palestinians, Arabs, & Europeans to economic risks to high unemployment to risk of famine and riots, demonstrations, & looting, many difficult events have been happening around the world. Are these consistent with the troubles Jesus said were associated with the ‘beginning of sorrows”? Are they, as well as the increasingly effective ecumenical movement, also consistent with the opening of the four seals and the riding of the ‘four horsemen of the Apocalyse’? Will these matters result in the rise of the pompous ‘King of the North’? Will he be a deceiver and cause persecutions associated with the fifth seal of Revelation 6:9-11? Did United Nations’ Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warn of historic levels of hunger and famine with at least 1.6 billion people possibly affected? Is there any protection from this? Will most Christians be protected? Are you heeding what Jesus and the prophets like Daniel and Zephaniah warned about? Are you willing to lose your life for the sake of the gospel? Are you supporting the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God (Matthew 24:14)? Are you praying to be “counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man”? Most Christians (like the Laodiceans) will not be.
Here is a link to the sermonette length video: Bizarre Things are Happening: Beginning of Sorrows?
The sorrows warnings from the Bible are starting to being fulfilled, but most will not believe this or act as they should.

The Philadelphia Church Era was predominant circa 1933 A.D. to 1986 A.D. The old Radio Church of God and old Worldwide Church of God, now the remnant of that era is basically the most faithful in the Church of God, like who hold to the beliefs and practices of the Continuing Church of God.
The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. The Laodiceans are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG or its offshoots. They do not properly understand the work or biblical prophecies and will face the Great Tribulation if they do not repent. One video of related interest is 17 Laodicean Errors in Prophecy.
