Signs of End Times

Here you will find material to understand what the Bible says about the dark times we live in. When the rapture happens, it wasnt aliens.

[signsofendtimes]

Welcome to my Blog

Timeline of Events:

Rapture of believers: imminent and signless. Could happen before you finish reading this. Accept Jesus as God. Happens before 7-year tribulation, but could happen after Gog and Magog.

Gog and Magog: a nuclear war against Israel by Russia, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, and the Central-Asian Muslim Nations. Led by Gog, a title like “Pharaoh” for a leader from Russia. Jesus intervenes on behalf of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39).

Seven-year reign of the Antichrist— makes a peace treaty with Israel and lets the Jews build the third temple before desecrating it 3.5 years in

Mark of the beast— a mark on the hand or forehead required to buy or sell. Whatever you do, don’t take it. It is better to starve. Count the number of the name: 666

At the end of seven years: Armageddon. This is where every army in the world gathers around Megiddo, Israel to fight Jesus Christ. He will blow on the Antichrist and he and all the armies essentially explode.

Garden of Eden restored on earth, and Jesus rules for 1000 years from Jerusalem

Falling away and final Judgement at the Great White Throne at the end of 1000 years.

New heaven and new earth created (New Jerusalem)

This blog is a log of the signs of the return of Jesus Christ listed throughout the scripture. Blog started on January 4th, 2026.

This blog began as a categorization of historical events. The blog will expand to provide a variety of Bible material with a specific emphasis on end times Bible Prophecy. I will be raptured, but I hope to leave behind a variety of resources for those who are left behind.

Wait upon our Lord Jesus Christ! Remain steadfast my brothers and sisters in Christ.

NASA Highlights Moon Missions as Public Focus Grows on Eclipses and Heavenly Signs

Event Date: January 6, 2026

Location: Washington, D.C., United States

Source: Associated Press, January 6, 2026

Event

NASA outlined updated timelines and objectives for its Artemis lunar program, reaffirming plans for future crewed moon landings and sustained lunar presence. The announcement came amid heightened global attention on celestial phenomena, including recent and upcoming eclipses, renewed interest in lunar cycles, and broader public fascination with the heavens. NASA emphasized international cooperation, long-term lunar infrastructure, and technological advancement as humanity moves closer to a permanent presence beyond Earth.

Why it matters biblically

This aligns with end-times warnings of “signs in the sun, moon, and stars”, as global attention increasingly turns toward the heavens alongside distress and perplexity among nations. While the space program itself is technological, the cultural moment—marked by fixation on celestial signs, eclipses, and lunar events—reflects prophetic patterns in which heavenly bodies draw heightened focus during periods of global uncertainty. This also reflects White Horse dynamics, where expansion and dominion advance through knowledge, technology, and coordinated global systems rather than open war.

AP News Highlights Rising Impact and Hidden Dangers of Lupus Worldwide

Event Date: January 6, 2026

Location: Global, Health Systems, Worldwide

Source: Associated Press, January 6, 2026

Event

Associated Press published an in-depth report on lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue, causing long-term organ damage. The article detailed how lupus affects millions of people worldwide, often remaining undiagnosed for years while progressively damaging the kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood vessels. Severe lupus complications can be fatal, particularly when access to early diagnosis, specialists, or treatment is limited. The report emphasized the growing recognition of autoimmune disease as a major contributor to global morbidity, disability, and preventable death.

Why it matters biblically

This aligns with the Pale Horse (Pestilence) when understood as widespread disease and bodily affliction resulting in death and suffering, not limited to sudden outbreaks. Scripture’s end-times warnings encompass chronic illness, physical decline, and mounting disease burdens affecting large populations. The increasing prevalence, delayed diagnosis, and lethal complications of autoimmune disease reflect last-days conditions marked by escalating human frailty and pestilence.

Eli Lilly Nears Deal for Biotech Ventyx with Implications for Human Biology Control

Event Date: December 23, 2025

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

Source: The Wall Street Journal, December 23, 2025

Event

Eli Lilly and Company moved closer to acquiring Ventyx Biosciences, a biotech firm developing therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The potential acquisition would expand Lilly’s control over immune-system-modifying treatments and consolidate advanced biotechnology under a small number of global corporations, reflecting accelerating centralization in life-altering medical research.

Why it matters biblically

This reflects the White Horse, marked by conquest through systems, centralized knowledge, and control rather than open war. It also aligns with the Days of Noah warning, as Scripture describes a time when boundaries of creation and flesh were increasingly transgressed. The consolidation and manipulation of human biology under centralized authority echoes end-times patterns of boundary erosion, altered flesh, and human overreach, consistent with Jesus’ warning about conditions preceding His return.

U.K. and France Agree to Set Up Military Hubs Across Ukraine After Cease-Fire Talks

Event Date: January 6, 2026

Location: Kyiv, Kyiv City, Ukraine

Source: The Wall Street Journal, January 6, 2026 

Event

The United Kingdom and France agreed to establish military hubs and protected facilities across Ukraine tied to negotiations around a proposed cease-fire with Russia. The plan would position Western logistics, training, and security infrastructure to support Ukrainian forces and deter future aggression, effectively embedding long-term Western military presence even as peace discussions continue. Analysts connect the agreement to broader efforts within the Coalition of the Willing to provide security guarantees and stabilize Eastern Europe in the face of ongoing conflict. 

Why it matters biblically

This reflects White Horse false peace dynamics — peace rhetoric combined with deeper preparation for control and dominance. Despite talk of cease-fire or peace, the real outcome may be expanded foreign military entrenchment and extended conflict posture. Scripture challenges superficial peace proclamations that mask unresolved tensions and ongoing readiness for war.

UAE and Saudi Arabia Vie for Influence as Yemen Power Struggle Intensifies

Event Date: January 5, 2026

Location: Sana’a, Sana’a Governorate, Yemen

Source: CNN, January 5, 2026

Event

A growing power struggle between the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia is reshaping Yemen’s conflict despite their nominal alignment against the Houthi movement. The rivalry centers on control of ports, local militias, energy routes, and political authority, particularly in southern Yemen. While public messaging emphasizes coordination and stabilization, competing agendas on the ground have deepened fragmentation, complicating ceasefire efforts and prolonging instability in one of the world’s most devastated war zones.

Why it matters biblically

This must be interpreted through Psalm 83’s “crafty counsel” lens, as Yemen’s conflict dynamics involve shifting coalitions and hidden agendas amid regional hostility tied to Israel-adjacent geopolitics. It also reflects White Horse (False Peace)—rhetoric of unity and stabilization alongside covert competition and control, matching end-times patterns of deception and alliance politics that mask continued strife.

Moon phase: Waning Gibbous

Nationwide Protests in Iran Escalate With Internet Blackout and Dozens Killed

Event Date: January 9, 2026

Location: Tehran and multiple provinces, Iran (Persia)

Source: Associated Press, January 9, 2026

Event

Nationwide protests across Iran intensified over economic collapse, soaring inflation, and the rapid decline of the Iranian rial, spreading from Tehran to cities including Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, and Kermanshah. Security forces responded with escalating force as demonstrations entered their second week. Human rights-linked counts cited by international reporting indicate at least 65 civilians killed and more than 2,300 people detained during clashes and mass arrests. Iranian authorities imposed a nationwide internet and international phone blackout, sharply restricting communications and limiting the ability of protesters and journalists to document events. Senior officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, rejected demands for change and framed the unrest as foreign-instigated, while state media claimed control had been restored despite ongoing reports of violence.

Why it matters biblically

This reflects Red Horse (Violence) through state repression and bloodshed that removes peace from society without declared war. It also requires a Persia (Iran) / Ezekiel 38–39 evaluation, as Persia is explicitly named in Ezekiel 38:5, highlighting internal hardening and upheaval within a biblically identified nation without declaring fulfillment. The internet blackout further reflects control and suppression, reinforcing patterns of coercion and fear in the last days.

Moon phase: Waning Gibbous (Anchor: Full Moon — January 3, 2026 | Offset: +6 days)

1902 — Year Summary

Event Date: January 1 – December 31, 1902

Location: Global

Source: Historical records; Encyclopaedia Britannica; Smithsonian Institution

Event

The year 1902 was marked by multiple high-fatality disasters and international conflict, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths worldwide. Major events included the Hakkōda Mountains Snow March Disaster in Japan (199 deaths), the eruption of Mount Pelée that destroyed Saint-Pierre, Martinique (approximately 28,000–30,000 deaths), and the Santa María volcanic eruption in Guatemala (approximately 6,000–8,000 deaths). In addition to natural calamities, armed international coercion occurred during the Venezuelan Crisis, when European powers imposed a naval blockade through military force, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Caribbean.

Why it matters biblically

These events reflect end-times distress and fearful calamities described by Jesus, where sudden destruction and loss of life occur across different regions of the world. The combination of mass death through natural disasters and removal of peace through international conflict aligns with biblical warnings that the last days would be marked by increasing global turmoil rather than isolated hardship.

End-Times Verse

Luke 21:11 — “And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

European Powers Impose Naval Blockade on Venezuela

Event Date: December 9, 1902

Location: La Guaira & Puerto Cabello, Vargas State, Venezuela

Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica; diplomatic records of the Venezuelan Crisis of 1902–1903

Event

On December 9, 1902, Germany, Britain, and Italy imposed a naval blockade on Venezuela to force repayment of foreign debts and claims. European warships seized Venezuelan vessels, enforced port closures, and applied sustained military pressure along the Caribbean coast, particularly at La Guaira and Puerto Cabello. The blockade escalated international tensions and prompted diplomatic intervention by the United States, eventually leading to arbitration in 1903 under the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. While the action involved armed coercion and naval force, large-scale civilian casualties were not documented in contemporary accounts.

Why it matters biblically

This reflects the Red Horse (Conflict) through coercive military force that removes peace without full-scale war. Scripture warns that in the last days, power struggles and armed pressure between nations will intensify, producing instability even when war is framed as enforcement or diplomacy.

Moon phase: Waning Gibbous

Santa María Volcano Eruption Devastates Western Guatemala

Event Date: October 24, 1902

Location: Santa María Volcano, Quetzaltenango Department, Guatemala

Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica; Smithsonian Institution (Global Volcanism Program)

Event

On October 24, 1902, the long-dormant Santa María volcano erupted catastrophically after centuries of inactivity. The eruption produced enormous ash columns, pyroclastic flows, and widespread devastation across western Guatemala. Contemporary and later scientific estimates place the death toll at approximately 6,000–8,000 people, with entire communities destroyed and agriculture devastated. Ash fell across much of Central America and as far as southern Mexico, making it one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions of the 20th century.

Why it matters biblically

This event represents fearful sights and great calamities, marked by sudden, massive loss of life through natural forces rather than war or disease. Scripture warns that in the last days, such catastrophic events will occur, bringing widespread fear and devastation upon the earth.

Mount Pelée Eruption Devastates Saint-Pierre, Martinique

Event Date: May 8, 1902

Location: Saint-Pierre, Martinique (French Caribbean)

Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica; Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program

Event

On May 8, 1902, Mount Pelée erupted catastrophically, generating a deadly pyroclastic flow that raced down its slopes and obliterated the city of Saint-Pierre within minutes. The eruption left nearly the entire population of the city dead, with estimated fatalities around 28,000–30,000, making it one of the deadliest volcanic disasters of the 20th century. Only a handful of survivors were documented. 

Why it matters biblically

This event reflects fearful sights and great calamities consistent with biblical descriptions of widespread suffering in the last days where masses of people are caught in sudden, devastating natural events. Although not caused by human conflict, the immense loss of life in a single moment aligns with scriptural warnings of dramatic signs and disasters.

Brown University Shooting and Related Killing of MIT Professor

Event Date: December 13, 2025

Location: Providence, Rhode Island, United States; Brookline, Massachusetts, United States

Source: USA Today, January 6, 2026

Event

A mass shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, on December 13, 2025, when Cláudio Manuel Neves Valente opened fire inside a campus building. Two students were killed and nine others were injured. Two days later, the same suspect fatally shot an MIT professor at a residence in Brookline, Massachusetts, before fleeing. The incidents prompted multi-state law-enforcement actions and campus lockdowns before the suspect was later found deceased. Authorities confirmed real gunfire and confirmed fatalities, not a hoax.

Why it matters biblically

This is a Red Horse (Violence) event—real bloodshed that takes peace from communities. Scripture warns that in the last days, violence and lawlessness increase, disrupting daily life and institutions. The sequence of shootings reflects the end-times pattern of escalating, localized violence rather than nation-to-nation war.

Uganda’s Debt Crisis Deepens Ahead of National Elections

Event Date: January 9, 2026

Location: Kampala, Central Region, Uganda

Source: Yahoo News (UK), January 9, 2026

Event

Uganda’s public debt crisis intensified as the country moved toward national elections, with government borrowing rising sharply amid economic strain. Analysts warned that Uganda’s debt—estimated at over $32 billion—has reached levels that threaten fiscal stability, crowd out social spending, and increase hardship for ordinary citizens. Rising debt servicing costs, weak revenue growth, and politically driven spending ahead of elections have deepened economic pressure, raising concerns about inflation, reduced public services, and long-term financial sustainability.

Why it matters biblically

This reflects the Black Horse (Economic Strain)—a biblical picture of scarcity, imbalance, and financial pressure affecting daily life. Scripture warns that in the last days, economic systems will increasingly burden populations, where basic stability becomes fragile and prosperity unevenly distributed.

Moon phase: Waning Gibbous

CIA Assessment Says Maduro Loyalists Best Positioned to Lead Venezuela After Maduro

Event Date: January 5, 2026

Location: Caracas, Capital District, Venezuela

Source: Reuters, January 5, 2026 (reporting on The Wall Street Journal)

Event

A classified assessment by the Central Intelligence Agency concluded that senior regime loyalists in Venezuela, including Delcy Rodríguez, were best positioned to lead the country and maintain stability if President Nicolás Maduro fell from power. The assessment was briefed to U.S. national security officials and reflected concerns that opposition figures lacked sufficient control over security forces. U.S. officials viewed regime insiders as more capable of preventing fragmentation and preserving state continuity during a potential transition.

Why it matters biblically

This reflects the White Horse—conquest through strategy, intelligence, and political management rather than open war. Power transitions guided by covert assessments and elite continuity illustrate end-times patterns of control exercised behind the scenes, where authority shifts without popular mandate or transparency, aligning with prophetic warnings about deception and false stability.

Hakkōda Mountains Snow March Disaster (Japan)

Event Date: January 23, 1902

Location: Hakkōda Mountains, Aomori Prefecture, Japan

Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica; Imperial Japanese Army historical records

Event

During a winter training exercise, 210 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers became disoriented in a severe blizzard in the Hakkōda Mountains. Extreme cold, whiteout conditions, and prolonged exposure led to the deaths of 199 soldiers, making it one of the deadliest non-combat military disasters in modern history. The tragedy shocked Japan and prompted lasting changes to cold-weather training and military preparedness.

Why it matters biblically

This event reflects end-times distress and calamity, where large-scale loss of life occurs through natural forces rather than war or disease. Scripture warns that in the last days there will be fearful sights and great calamities, causing widespread suffering and loss even outside battlefields.
