Session 14 Foreshocks Part 1

In session 6 in the wrap up we presented the idea that “Future events cast their

shadows before them.”

Our other sessions detailed the people and events of the

Tribulation. These events and people produce enormous changes to the earth beyond

what we can even imagine. It stands to reason those believers, if they are watching,

will detect the world aligning to prepare for the events of the Tribulation. I like to

refer to this phenomenon as foreshocks. Here is a very interesting short definition

from livescience.com:

Foreshocks are smaller temblors that strike in the days and hours before a

moderate-to-large earthquake. They're puzzling. Not all earthquakes have

foreshocks, and despite decades of effort, no one has successfully found a way

to predict earthquakes using foreshocks.

Please read Matthew 24:4-22 and

29 to see the summary of the

Tribulation that Jesus presents to

his disciples. In the following table

we will compare this passage with

Revelation 6 to see how the

sequence of events correlates and

proceeds in the same order. This

correlation was presented by a

study by Chuck Missler on the

horses of the apocalypse.

It will be the goal of this study to

take this prophetic sequence and try

to detect foreshocks embedded in

current events. We will present

recent news items that indicate a

connection to each of these topics.

This journey and the following

foreshock session may be a little

concerning to some people.

Perhaps most people live their lives

and have little time to analyze

current events with an eye towards

how they might relate to the future.

We learned in Session 1 the

importance of understanding what

is approaching in the darkness of

the future so we and our loved ones are ready. It can be compared to being on top of a

wall and searching in the distance for an approaching enemy. We may see scouts first,

Matthew 24:4-22 NIV

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many

will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will

deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see

to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end

is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom

against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various

places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death,

and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time

many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each

other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many

people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most

will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be

saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the

whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will

come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination

that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet

Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in

Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down

to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back

to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for

pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will

not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be

great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until

now—and never to be equaled again.

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but

for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be

darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall

from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

then a little farther we may see some infantry, even farther the watchman may barely

see the ships in the harbor unloading troops. This may be all the farther the watchman

can see but they know a battle is ready to take place. They can see the story making

sense. You get the picture. In a like manner, it would make sense that the events early

in the prophetic sequence will present the strongest foreshocks. So here is the table

from Chuck Missler

that will show us what to search for:

Revelation 6 Matthew 24

White horse: rider 6:1-2 False Christs 24:4-5

Red horse: war 6:3-4 Wars 24:6

Black horse: famine 6:5-6 Famines 24:7a

Pale horse: death 6:7-8 Death 24:7b-8

Martyrs 6:9-11 Martyrs 24:9

Worldwide Chaos 6:12-17 Worldwide Chaos 24:10,13,29

This session is much longer than other sections because we are including a lot of

quotes from many resources to document and detect the foreshocks. There are not

many questions in this study or the other “Foreshock” session. The bulk of the work

of the Foreshock Sessions will be in reading background material and applying what

we have learned in other sessions to current events.

White Horse/False Christs/The Antichrist

1. What should we look for when we are looking for foreshocks of the Antichrist?

Before I started and mention particular names of people from current events, I must

stress that the Antichrist will not be revealed before the Rapture so we will not know

for sure who he is. Here is a quick review of aspects of the Antichrist we have learned

so far:

A. He will enter the world stage as a conqueror, but likely one with a reputation for

diplomacy or peace making.

B. He will be deceptive and will deceive many to their downfall.

C. He will be successful at pretty much everything he sets his mind to.

D. He will be a fierce person that understands the intricacies of palace intrigue.

E. He will be extremely strong (politically & militarily). This will be strength given

directly from Satan himself.

F. He will have a hatred of God’s Holy people (New Tribulation Christians and Israel).

Remember the Tribulation is also called Jacob’s (Israel’s) Trouble.

G. He will be very proud and egotistical.

H. He will be very blasphemous towards the true God.

I. He will successfully become the first global world leader of an empire.

J. He will be partnered with a False Prophet that will have the appearance of a

Christian (two horns like a lamb) but will sound like Satan (speaks like a dragon).

K. He with the False Prophet will implement a one world economic system that is

cashless (The mark is all that is needed. No coins/paper needed)

L. He will confirm or “Raise the Bar” on a treaty with Israel and eventually break that

treaty.

M. The world will eventually come to worship him (with the help of the False

Prophet).

N. He will be associated with the number 666.

Now I will review some articles that seem to show some foreshocks concerning the

Rider on the White horse. The first article is one from CNN from April 15, 2020

entitled France's Macron positioning himself as leader of the world. Here are

some quotes from that article with some letter references to the above list hinting at

foreshocks.

I. France's 42-year-old president, Emmanuel Macron, who has faced many

challenges governing his country, is now positioning himself to take over

the mantle of global leadership long reserved to the older leaders of China,

Russia or especially the United States. And right now, he has no real

challengers. (I, C)

II. The vehicle of this leadership campaign is Macron's proposal for a

worldwide ceasefire -- a truce everywhere from Afghanistan to Syria, Iraq

and Yemen. And he says he's a good part of the way there. There are five

permanent members of the UN Security Council (France, China, Russia,

Britain and the US) and four of the five are on board, according to Macron.

Macron also says he hopes to secure the agreement of the final member,

Russia's Vladimir Putin, within hours. UN Secretary General António

Guterres had already called for an "immediate, global ceasefire,"

observing that "the fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war," though

with no real buy-in until Macron weighed in. (A)

III. Macron has already taken a tough stand against some of the world's leading

powers and their actions during the pandemic. French Foreign Minister

Jean-Yves Le Drian summoned to the Quai d'Orsay, the Chinese

ambassador to France, who received a tongue-lashing for criticizing

Western response to the coronavirus, even accusing French nursing home

workers of "abandoning their posts overnight ... and leaving their residents

to die of hunger and disease." China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao

Lijian quickly backed down, repudiating his ambassador's remarks. Not

long afterward, Macron added Xi Jinping's name to his list of backers of

his global truce. (D)

IV. Indeed, it would appear that the world could use a new leader in this time of

crisis -- one who is prepared to put global interests above personal or

political aggrandizement. And until the United States is prepared to offer

such an individual, there may be no better to fill that void than France's

young, fresh voice: Emmanuel Macron. (M)

Let me emphasize again that we are not suggesting that the current leader of France is

the Antichrist. Only that he demonstrates that such a person can exist at this moment.

A foreshock of the Antichrist’s emergence onto the world stage. Let’s take a look at

another somewhat creepy article about the leader of France Orbiting Jupiter: my

week with Emmanuel Macron:

V. At 39, Macron becomes the youngest head of state in French history, and an

international star. The country’s entire political class is dumbfounded.

Stunned, former president Nicolas Sarkozy is said to have commented

with disconcerting humility: “It’s me, but better”. (I)

VI. At Orléans, on a day of fervent tribute to Joan of Arc, he all but explicitly

compared himself with the Maid of Orléans: heralding from a distant

village, alone, unknown to all, she hears voices that command her to save

France – and what’s more, she does. (G)

VII. Macron, meanwhile, this former student of the École Nationale

d’Administration (for decades, the finishing school for the nation’s

political elite), banker, high official and young minister – the absolute

prototype of the insider who knows the rules of the game like the back of

his hand – reinvents himself as an inspired outsider, a mystic capable of

ending a meeting by whirling around in front of 8,000 people, his arms

folded in front of him, his eyes half-closed, chanting “I love you!” until his

voice goes hoarse. (D)

VIII. Macron, who saw his predecessor get bogged down and systematically takes

the opposite stance, announces that he’ll be a “Jupiterian” president. (G, H,

M Yes, he actually expressed that he would want to rule France like the king of the

Roman gods Jupiter)

IX. At 30, he’s an investment banker at Rothschild & Co – in this line of work,

you can’t do any better. ….. Just two years later, this young man is

minister for the economy, industry and digital affairs. …. And what an

adventure! This is a guy who only runs for a single office in his entire life,

that of president of the republic, and wins. (K)

Theoretically, the bible does not say that the False Prophet cannot be identified. Many

people throughout the ages have suggested that a particular Pope would become the

Antichrist68. I personally think that the Antichrist will have far more political power

that any modern pope. I do however have a suspicion that a pope will be the False

Prophet. The description of the False prophet is one that looks like a Christian (Horns

of a Lamb) and sounds like Satan (Speaks as a dragon). This sounds like a powerful

fallen pope. With this in mind can we see any connection between the current leader

of France and the papacy? With that lets look for potential foreshocks in the article

Pope Francis speaks with French President Macron about coronavirus,

international debt relief. Here are some quotes from that article:

X. The president’s office said Pope Francis expressed his closeness and support

to France, where Covid-19 has claimed more than 20,000 lives. It added

that the pope hailed “the constructive responses taken by France at the

international level after the health crisis caused by the pandemic.” It also

revealed that Pope Francis and President Macron agreed on the need for a

global ceasefire in all conflicts. The U.N. Secretary-General António

Guterres has urged the various parties in conflict in different countries to

accept ceasefires and Pope Francis has publicly supported that appeal

during Holy Week and on Easter Sunday. (A, J)

Finally, what about the world economic changes that will be promoted in the

Tribulation. A single mark that is used instead of cash to buy and sell goods and

services? In this next article called Microsoft, the ID2020 Alliance, universal digital

identification and you we learn about Microsoft’s vision concerning identity.

XI.

The long-term vision revolves around the Alliances "Case for Action"

which states a convergence of trends provides an unprecedented

opportunity to make a coordinated, concerted push towards the goal of

universal digital identity. Those trends include political accord among

United Nations members, growing global connectivity, emerging

technologies and global calls for a new model of identity.

 Political Unity: In 2015 all United Nations countries made a global

commitment to provide legal identity for everyone by 2030.

 Global connectivity: Smart device proliferation allows new registration

methods and enables consistent interaction with identity data.

 Emerging technology: Block-chain technology, like that used with

Bitcoin, and into which Microsoft has invested to create a

decentralized id (DID) makes secure and verifiable tech accessible to

the masses.

 New Identity Model: Consumers want a seamless and secure digital

experience. (K, N)

In case this sounds like a lot of political/techno jargon (it is). I can break it down a

little more: The goal is to create a digital id for every person on the planet that

has ties to current “digital currencies” like Bitcoin which uses a special

technology called block chain. So here is another quote to tie it even more to the

Antichrist’s mark:

XII. Microsoft, in a recent announcement regarding using blockchain technology

for decentralized identification further articulated its support of this

initiative stating, "Each of us needs a digital identity we own, one which

securely and privately stores all elements of our digital identity." (K, N)

Here is a quote that should thoroughly cement your opinion of what is developing

here.

XIII. As more and more transactions become digital in nature and are built around

a single global identification standard, supported by Microsoft, the

question of who will govern this evolving global community and economy

becomes relevant. Especially since nonparticipants in this system would be

unable to buy or sell goods or services. (K, N)

If that last quote does not ring a bell

please read Revelation 13:16-18.

Now we can see what the platform for

the identity is but what sort of “mark”

are we talking about if this is a

foreshock of the mark of the beast? In

the past, various prophesy scholars

have suggested RFID tags like used on pets or other “chips”. Over the last few months

technology has advanced to the point that an actual painless, invisible, inexpensive

mark (tattoo) can store information. The initial thoughts for the use of this concept are

to store the entire vaccine record for an individual (identification and related

information), on the individual. Let’s read some quotes.

XIV. Parents often don’t know their children’s vaccination histories, McHugh

said. “So our idea was to put the record on the person,” he said. “This way,

later on, people can scan over the area to see what vaccines have been

administered and give only the ones still needed.

(K, N)

Here is another chilling quote about how the technology works.

Revelation 13:16-18 NIV

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and

slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark,

which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This

calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the

number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is

666.

XV. The tags are incorporated in only some of the array of sugar-based

microneedles on a patch. When the needles dissolve in about two minutes,

they deliver the vaccine and leave the pattern of tags just under the skin,

where they become something like a bar-code tattoo. (K, N)

This technology is being developed at MIT and Rice University. This solution was

requested and funded by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation

. Bill Gates was the

well-known founder of Microsoft Corporation what an interesting connection to the

previously mentioned technology. Fulfilling the prophesy of the Mark of the Beast

seems as easy as merging these two technologies into one. Another really cryptic bit

of technology joins “body activity” to cryptocurrency. The root purpose does not seem

to be divulged in the patent. The patent number is WO/2020/060606. This patent is

held by… wait for it… Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. Do you feel the

foreshock?

One of the few foreshock items

listed for the Antichrist was

concerning military and political

power. What about that? Before

we investigate an article

concerning that lets re-read

Revelation 13:1

2. How many political centers of power (horns) does the beast (Antichrist) control?

Here is another article about the current leader of France. Emmanuel Macron’s

coalition of the willing – POLITICO 5/2/18 by Paul Talor

XVI. PARIS — Impatient with German foot-dragging on defense, French

President Emmanuel Macron will bring together a 10-nation coalition of

the willing next month designed to prepare European armed forces to take

action together in emergencies, and to bind Britain into military

cooperation as it leaves the EU. Defense ministers of France, the U.K.,

Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark and

Estonia will sign a letter of intent in Paris in June, officials told me,

Here is another article concerning another multinational coalition that has arrived

at a familiar number of members. Five nations become full members of BRICS –

THE Economic Times - Jan 02, 2024, 03:15:00 PM IST:

As Moscow assumed the presidency of BRICS, Russian President Vladimir Putin

said on Monday that the grouping has become a 10-nation body now with Egypt,

Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates joining it as new

members.

It appears that this same Emmanuel Macron had a desire to “crash the party”

where this latest 5 new members were added in late 2023.

POLITICO – June 22, 2023 - Macron? No way! Russia doesn’t want French

leader at summit with China and allies -:

The Kremlin isn’t impressed with French President Emmanuel Macron’s bid

to crash the BRICS summit in South Africa later this summer.

“We sent a signal that, with all due respect to the prerogatives of the host

country, inviting certain guests should be based on the fact that BRICS is an

association of states that, in principle, reject unilateral sanctions as a method

of solving foreign policy problems,” Sergey Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy

foreign minister, said Thursday according to state-owned news agency TASS.

3. How many nations in the Coalition of the Willing and BRICS?

Surely these are foreshocks to the eventual Antichrist.

Wrap up

The ground is shaking beneath our feet with foreshocks and we have only looked at

the Antichrist. We probably have not detected all of them for this topic, but we must

move on. Our next set of foreshocks concern the Riders on the Red and Black horses.
