Comparison of Isaiah the prophet to people like myself who are warning of things to come. I am not the only one warning how Bible prophecy and current events are leading to the Lord’s second coming. Those of us who are repeating the warnings of Christ for the last days, we face the same challenges as the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah the prophet was often despised because he delivered messages of judgment, repentance, and warning from God, which were unpopular and challenged the comfort, sins, and idolatry of the people. His prophecies called out the corruption of leaders, the unfaithfulness of the people, and foretold impending disaster unless there was genuine repentance. Many rejected his warnings because they did not want to face the reality of their actions or believe that judgment was imminent.
Here are some reasons Isaiah was despised, and what we as watchers face today.
1. Message of Judgment
• Isaiah warned of the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem due to their sinfulness (Isaiah 1:2-4, 3:8-9). People did not want to hear about God’s judgment and preferred messages of peace and prosperity.
• Relatable today: Many who warn about the last days, such as impending judgment or the need for repentance, face similar rejection because their messages disrupt people’s comfort or challenge societal norms.
2. Call to Repentance
• Isaiah called people to turn from their sins and return to God (Isaiah 55:6-7). This call to change was uncomfortable and often ignored.
• Relatable today: Like Isaiah, those warning about the last days often urge repentance, but society can resist messages that confront moral or spiritual failings.
3. Forewarning of Catastrophe
• Isaiah predicted the Babylonian exile and the fall of Jerusalem, but people dismissed these warnings as extreme or implausible (Isaiah 39:6-7). They preferred to believe false prophets who assured them of safety.
• Relatable today: Those who speak about the signs of the end times—such as wars, famines, and moral decline—are often dismissed as alarmists or conspiracy theorists.
4. Speaking Against Leaders
• Isaiah did not shy away from condemning corrupt leaders and false prophets (Isaiah 10:1-3, 28:7-8). This made him unpopular with the ruling class.
• Relatable today: Warnings about corruption, lawlessness, or ungodly leadership in modern times often provoke hostility.
5. Trust in God, Not Alliances
• Isaiah criticized Judah for trusting in foreign alliances (like Egypt) instead of God (Isaiah 30:1-3). This clashed with the political and social strategies of his day.
• Relatable today: Messages that emphasize reliance on God rather than worldly solutions can face skepticism or resistance.
Comparison to People Warning About the Last Days
People warning of the last days today often experience similar resistance, skepticism, or outright hostility. Like Isaiah, their messages:
1. Challenge societal norms and call for repentance.
2. Warn of impending judgment or difficult times ahead.
3. Are often dismissed as fearmongering or irrelevant.
4. Provoke resistance because they threaten the status quo or expose uncomfortable truths.
Jesus Himself acknowledged this pattern, saying, “Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets” (Luke 6:26) and “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me” (Matthew 5:11).
In summary, both Isaiah and modern-day voices warning of the last days share a mission to speak truth, often in the face of rejection, as they call people to turn back to God.
There is no question our world is witnessing upheaval in world leaders, and there’s a reason for this. There is a generation who is going to cry out for someone to lead the world. We know who that generation is, because Jesus told us who they would be. In Matthew chapter 24 Jesus shows us, before he came back, Israel would be born again as a nation, which they have been. This fact alone informs us we are that generation who Jesus was referring to. There is a world leader, who is going to come on the scene who the world will receive as a super figure, a super political and military figure, and this is the man Jesus warned us all about, this is the Antichrist . You will continue to hear how bad our world leaders are because this is the road leading to the rise of the Antichrist .
LONDON — In this historic year of elections, the world gave its rulers a shellacking.
Most notable for Americans, of course, was the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris to President-elect Donald Trump. But zoom out and that is just one data point in a pattern that stretches from India to Austria, Botswana to South Korea, and Britain to Uruguay.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was sworn in Friday to serve a third six-year term, extending his increasingly repressive rule until 2031 despite protests and credible evidence that his opponent won the election.

Los Angeles is primarily governed by Democrats. The city’s mayor, most city council members, and representatives at the state and federal levels are Democrats. This reflects the broader political landscape of California, which leans heavily Democratic, especially in urban areas like Los Angeles. In a nutshell, complete mismanagement by the Democratic base has now lead to disastrous effects for hundreds of thousands of Angelinos.

Wall Street Job Losses May Top 200,000 as AI Replaces Roles
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently described "agentic" AI as the "next giant breakthrough" expected in 2025.
However, the rollout of agentic AI and other AI tools on Wall Street has a huge downside: job loss. According to a new Bloomberg Intelligencesurvey of 92 global banks, the industry could shed hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next 3-5 years because of AI.
On Thursday, Bloomberg Intelligence's Tomasz Noetzel cited the survey, which found that global banks could experience a 12-17% ($120-$180 billion) lift to 2027 pretax profit based on AI productivity gains. The survey also found that job cuts could exceed 200,000 in 3-5 years.
Separately from the report, the BI senior analyst said, "Any jobs involving routine, repetitive tasks are at risk," adding, "But AI will not eliminate them fully; rather, it will lead to workforce transformation." https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/200000-wall-street-jobs-risk-agentic-ai-agents-become-major-breakthrough
