Are we witnessing the downfall of America?

Posted on June 5, 2020 by Don Koenig

I am sure some have wondered what it would be like just before the tribulation events begin. We may now be finding that out. The Bible implies that astute believers would see the day approaching and would not be caught unaware. America is not in Bible prophecy, so something happens to remove America as the major player in the world and as a protectorate of Israel. This downfall of America may already be underway.

The riots in America are happening because the far left controlling the blue areas of this nation want them to happen. The deep state coup against Trump is failing so the left saw the George Floyd killing at the knee of a police officer as the opportune time to bring out their own political action committees named Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM).… continue reading

The transformation of America from honorable to perverse in just one lifespan

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Don Koenig
(I wrote some of the content of this article under a different title seven years ago. Hopefully it will be better indexed this time around by search engines. America now finds herself in a mess for good reason. In just one lifespan there was a transformation of America from what was honorable to the perverse.)

The 1950’s and early 60’s certainly were far from perfect, but most people in America led fairly honorable lives back then. The mid 60’s were the very last of the Happy Days of Richie Cunningham. That TV program and programs like the Andy Griffith Show or Ozzie and Harriet were not that far off the mark for small town America.

Tales of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic and mass hysteria of 2020

Posted on May 8, 2020 by Don Koenig

In the Eastern Ozarks of Missouri we have had only a few cases of the laboratory created coronavirus. Even so, everything in the state was shut down by order of the knee-jerking governor. It would have been wiser to just deal with hot spots like St Louis and Kansas City and leave the rural areas of the state alone. The government control freaks prove good at shutting down everything, but they do not have a clue how businesses and those they put out of work will ever recover from the unconstitutional shut-downs that they directed. People will now have to live with the consequences of the mass hysteria that the government and media created.… continue reading

Tribulation begins in 2020’s and ends with second coming in 2030’s

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Don Koenig

For decades I have said that various world trends suggest that the tribulation would begin in the 2020’s making the second coming in the 2030’s. Recent events in the world seem to make that timing even more likely. By the way, that world trends page above was my total original website 20 years ago.

I have been a critic of Dr. Tom Horn because some of his books suggested that the Antichrist would rise almost a decade ago. Even so, one of his latest books called The Wormwood Prophecy has me wondering if there could be any truth to his conjecture that the asteroid Apophis could fulfill the Wormwood prophecy in 2029.… continue reading

Government technocrats cure will be far worse than the virus

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Don Koenig

What a change less than two months has wrought on our nation and on the world. In late February I was warning that the coronavirus hitting Wuhan China could cause an economic downturn that could impact Trump’s election chances. Just a month later governments all over the world began shutting down everything to stop the virus spread. Because of all the shutdowns, the world is about to be hit with the worst global economic crises it has ever encountered. This may take a couple of years to fully play out, but it will turn out to have a far greater negative impact on nations than anything the virus would have caused without the government intervention.… continue reading

Economic collapse and world war may occur alongside coronavirus pandemic

Posted on March 27, 2020 by Don Koenig

Could world war be coming in addition to the economic downturn and the coronavirus pandemic? The Spanish Flu killed about three percent of the population on earth and it started during World War I. That flu killed many more people than did the war. One could argue that such happenings are a judgement from God. It does seem that God purges the earth occasionally to keep evil from totally taking it over. The reaction to the novel coronavirus is about to destroy all the economies of the Western World and evil dictators are likely to see the Western panic as their big opportunity.… continue reading

Trucking through unchartered territory until the four horsemen ride

Posted on March 13, 2020 by Don Koenig

I believe the four horsemen of the apocalypse begin their ride before this decade is over. If I am correct, it should not be surprising that the days leading up to those catastrophic Revelation events would not see business as usual on the earth. As you already know, all of a sudden the foundations of the world order are being shaken because of  the Wuhan corona virus outbreak. The world seems on the brink of unraveling whether the actual health impact of the coronavirus turns out to be over-hyped or not.

What a difference a few weeks make. The Dow Jones was pushing 30000 a few weeks ago and now it is down around 22000.… continue reading

Black swans could poop on Trump’s 2020 election expectations

Posted on February 28, 2020 by Don Koenig

Black swans are unforeseen happenings that come out of nowhere and change the course of events in the world. I think one or more black swans could change the course of the 2020 national election. As things stand now, President Trump would be reelected and the Republicans would gain control of both houses of Congress, but one or more black swans could poop on Republican expectations.

Republicans should not become overconfident because this nation continues on a leftward march. Before the 2018 midterm elections the conservative talking heads were saying the Republicans would retain the House. The Republicans lost and elections have consequences.… continue reading

Trump peace plan is not dividing Israel and won’t happen anyway

Posted on February 14, 2020 by Don Koenig

Everyone in Bible prophecy is talking about President’s Trump’s two state solution in the Middle East. I do not believe this peace proposal is dividing Israel as some are saying; nor is it the covenant that will be confirmed by the Antichrist. This proposal just goes to show you that the most pragmatic thinking still falls far short of any real peace solution for the Middle East.

The map below is the geographical proposal for a Palestinian State. All areas in green would become the future state of Palestine. There are many Jewish settlements within those green areas that would become part of the state of Israel.… continue reading

Progressive brave new Orwellian world where lying is the highest virtue

Posted on January 31, 2020 by Don Koenig

Godless people are creating a satanic brave new Orwellian world system. The little truth that still remains in the world is being twisted into lies through continuous progressive indoctrination programs. How deranged the world is becoming is another sure sign that we are living in the end times that the prophets and apostles foretold. The increasingly post truth world will become very destructive and the wrath of God will fall on it like it did when wickedness became unrestrained in past times.

In the Days of Noah, there was violence all over the earth and all flesh on earth was being corrupted (Ge 6: 11-13).… continue reading

Jihad rage brings world war upon the earth in the 2020’s

Posted on January 17, 2020 by Don Koenig

The following is partly inspired and some of it copied from of an article I wrote nearly a decade ago. I believe Jihad rage in Islam will bring major wars upon the world in the 2020’s. I also believe the West is in for a major shock fairly soon because our leadership continues to be in denial about the Islamic threat to the West. On the other hand, Muslims need to be warned about what will happen to them if militants of Islam carry out the massive deadly attacks against the West that I believe some are now planning.

Militant Islamic radicals will always find some way to incite people who seem to have nothing better to do with their lives than to spew hatred against anyone that does not respect their false prophet and his made up god.… continue reading

The 2020’s will turn out to be a prophetically fateful decade

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Don Koenig

I am not going to make specific predictions for 2020 but I believed we have now arrived to the decade of the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Shortly after the Rapture the tribulation period will occur followed by the fulfillment of all Bible prophecy related to the second coming of Jesus Christ. I think most of the end times prophecies will be fulfilled in the 2030’s although the four horsemen of Revelation probably will ride in the 2020’s.

I could be wrong about the tribulation starting in the 2020’s, but if I am, I don’t think it will prove to be of much comfort to those living through this decade.… continue reading

Spiritual gifts from God keep on giving in the new year and beyond

Posted on December 20, 2019 by Don Koenig

Those who believe and receive God’s Son by grace are given the gift of His Holy Spirit along with one or more spiritual gifts for service to others in the Body of Christ. The main spiritual gifts God wants believers to know about are listed in the New Testament (i.e. apostles, prophets, teachers, helps, administrations, etc), but I would not limit the spiritual gifts to just those listed any more than I would limit the Holy Spirit.

Paul tells us that seeking spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church was a common practice among early believers (1Co 14:12). Therefore, these spiritual gifts are not as fixed after conversion as some seem to think.… continue reading

The mystery of Babylon the kingdom counterfeit of Satan

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Don Koenig

One of the great mysteries of the Bible is how the prophecies about Babylon are to be fulfilled. The major prophecies about Babylon are found in Isaiah 13-14 & 47, Jeremiah 50-51 and Revelation 17-18. Most just focus on the Revelation prophecies and ignore the Old Testament prophecies about Babylon. Even so, any prophecies that have not already been fulfilled about Babylon in the OT still must be literally fulfilled.

If you study all the prophecies about Babylon, you should see the parallel in Revelation to what is said in the OT. The OT prophets make it abundantly clear that Babylon is a literal city located on the plains of Shinar.… continue reading

Trusting Jesus gets us eternal life but faithfulness determines eternal rewards

Posted on November 22, 2019 by Don Koenig

In my last post I made it clear that the gospel of John indicates that salvation comes to those that believe (trust) in Jesus. The reason some Christians add things to salvation is not because they themselves are lost. Saved people often add requirements to salvation because they never learned understanding. They do not know the scriptures or they mishandle the scriptures, and then want everyone else to comply with their own misunderstanding.

Fallen descendants of Adam played no role in Adam’s sin resulting in the fall. They also have zero  ability to become anything more than the sinful mortal creatures that they are.… continue reading
