The great reset
 
https://permacultureapprentice.com/t...ture-solution/

Brace yourself, the great reset is coming

It was like a scene from an apocalyptic movie.

A convoy of army trucks hauling away corpses as the local crematorium was overwhelmed with bodies from the hospital.

The news report was particularly dreadful to watch because the affected area was only some 5 hours’ drive away from where we live, and, disturbingly, the number of deceased was averaging almost 1000 people a day.

Nationally, our government declared a code red preparedness level, initiating a hard lockdown, bracing for the imminent impact.

Soon, the first cases of the deadly disease began to appear in my hometown…

All of this was unfolding in mid-March, when the entire planet was looking at northern Italy, wondering what the hell was taking place there and what happens if that “thing” comes to our part of the world.

It didn’t take long, and the virus quickly spread to the rest of the globe. Then, we all got to experience firsthand the fear and panic we had previously seen on the TV.

Looking back on 2020, it’s fair to say that ever since the outbreak of this pandemic, the world hasn’t been the same. What the media keeps referring to as the ‘new normal’ has slowly but surely settled in.

Although many of us still mentally cling to the possibility that things will eventually get back to the old pre-pandemic normal, as time goes by, it’s becoming increasingly clear that’s not going to happen.

On the contrary, I think we’re in for some massive societal changes – all precipitated by this pandemic – that will take us further and further from the world we used to know.

My research into the various economic, societal, and geopolitical issues leads me to believe that we may be entering one of the most turbulent and decisive periods in humankind’s history.

This rough ride could last at least a decade, and with this pandemic, we are just warming up. Other storms are brewing on the horizon, and once they hit us with their full force, we will inhabit a radically different world.

As someone who spends most of his time thinking about the future while actively preparing for what it might hold, I find several societal developments or trends particularly concerning.

In this post, I’ll explain what they are, and I’ll make my case for why I see them unfolding in the coming years and to what effect.

I’ve named these developments/trends: 1. The surveillance society, 2. The Second Great Depression, 3. The new world (dis)order and, 4. The social upheaval.

With this content, I want to provide a big-picture overview of the most significant challenges that lie ahead, and, by doing so, set the scene for the permaculture-based solutions that I’ll explore in more detail on this blog as the crisis unfolds. (Remainder of article is linked above)

It is definitely a possibility. Taking into account that we know, as Fauci puts it, that the history of coronavirus vaccines tells us that they don't make long-lasting immunity.
This COVID vaccine may be needed yearly, or more frequent than that. Now put that in a global scale.

The only thing that can stop this mess is the mercies of God. Now, for those of us that believe in a premillennial literal coming of Christ, there is a sign that we can verify nowadays that it is fulfilled or about to be fulfilled for sure. Technology, in comparison with previous generations, allows us to say with certainty such a thing.

Quote:

Matthew 24:14 (NKJV) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
The Bible is accessible to all, radio stations are preaching, internet, and ultimately, physical presence is all over. The oneness of God, the cross and the Acts 2:38 message is all over the world. The UPCI alone is in almost all countries, and working to be in all countries.

It could be that God in his mercy would just let this pass, as it was WWII, and this virus would go away. But for every worldwide trial like this, the world system shapes itself more and more towards the end beast.

We, premillennial, know this is coming. The sovereignty of God is being exalted when we see things unfolding.

Time to trust the Lord, time to buckle up, lift up our heads and rejoice, because our redemption draws near!

It's no coincidence that the states with the most restrictions are those with Democrat Governors and majority Democrat Mayors. The Dems would love to use this pandemic to force people to rely on the government for sustenance and housing. Force private businesses to shut down, take away people's private ownership due to inability to pay the bills to keep it, cause massive unemployment and then offer scraps from the government in the form of weekly/monthly stimulus checks.

Meanwhile, it appears God has had enough and is content to just watch it all collapse and burn.

God is more interested in having us saved than keeping us comfortable. Eventually going through the motions of church as usual isn't going to cut it.

What if you don't believe in a rapture and see us having to get through this by God's grace?

What do we do to prepare?

I watched that. I thought it was hilarious! He called this “relief” bill out for what it is. Give the American people $600, while you give Pakistan 25 million to figure out what gender they are??? Give the Kennedy building 40 million, and its not even opened!!! Trump is the epitome of the phrase, “bull in a china shop”.

I actually forgot about it until a friend reminded me about it and the ... interesting folks that were on here.

I do believe that is the word he used.

Are you offended by my absence? Did you really miss me?

I'm sorry, I don't want to debate you.

IMO, the MSM is showing us the beast/one world govt.
Media is covering up the truth, feeding us lies,, feeding us an antichrist agenda.

Actually it’s been doing that since governance was put into practice. Niccolo Machiavelli in the book the Prince didn’t re invent the wheel. He just told the truth. The so called “main stream media” has always been the tool of wealthy leadership. Wars, rumor of wars. If “they” tell you He is out in desert do not go. All made to manipulate the masses. Even children stories show how the emperor’s new clothes. Were not clothes at all. That the great and powerful Oz was only a side show barker hiding behind a curtain pulling levers and twisting knobs. No new thing under the sun.

I think many of us had faith in the Republican Party, and felt that Fox news was somewhat trustworthy. But now we are seeing that the corruption is much deeper than we thought. Possibly none of the media can be trusted. I personally have given up watching the media/news altogether. I'm also forgoing movies other than history or documentaries. Replacing the time spent with bible reading. In the last two weeks since I have cleaned house with media, social media, and other entertainment, I've been able to spend 4 hours a day bible reading. Have read Genesis-Numbers in the LXX in two weeks
