Why Is The U.S. Being Hit By One “Apocalyptic Disaster” After Another Right Now?
Have you noticed that America has been getting pummeled by a series of major natural disasters in recent days? Dozens of immensely powerful tornadoes have carved trails of destruction across the middle of the country, Chicago was just hit by an “apocalyptic” wall of dust, and a plague of millions upon millions of crickets is causing chaos in Utah. Some have pointed out that what we are currently going through is eerily similar to what the U.S. experienced during the days of the Great Depression in the 1930s. Others are wondering if the weird behavior of the Sun has anything to do with the disasters that we are now seeing. But what everyone should be able to agree on is that what we are witnessing right now is certainly not normal.
Walmart And Target Are Really Jacking Up Their Prices
Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord? Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products. Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

When the Jehovah’s Witnesses come knocking on your door, you really need to know who it is that is knocking! Let me show you where the angels came from that the Watchtower Society says are guiding them? With the right answers you can help a Jehovah witness see the truth!
For years, I have conducted in-depth research into the teachings of the Watchtower Society of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Sadly, the average Jehovah’s Witness never questions or investigates what their leaders teach. As a result, they remain unaware that many of these teachings have been influenced by Satan and his angels, who—according to the Watchtower’s own claims—are guiding their organization.
If you are a new Jehovah’s Witness, I urge you: what I present in this paper is exactly what the Watchtower doesn’t want you to see. Using the Watchtower’s own publications and documents, I will show you that Satan is behind the organization’s teachings.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are sincere, well-meaning people who have been led away from the true teachings of God. And because we are living in the last days, it is more urgent than ever for you, as a Jehovah’s Witness, to examine what your leaders have hidden from you.
Click the link below to see how Satan has influenced the Watchtower organization. Your eternal destiny is at stake. Your soul depends on whether you are willing to ‘make sure of all things.’ If you never examine your own teachings, you cannot claim to have truly ‘made sure of all things’—and you cannot honestly call yourself one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Read Chapter 20 of my book The Rapture of the Church.
What did Jesus mean when He gave this warning in 2 Thessalonians 2:11?
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
This verse is set in the context of those who refuse to believe the truth of the Gospel and instead choose to embrace falsehoods and deception. It reveals that God allows—or permits—a powerful delusion to overtake those who reject the truth, leading them even deeper into lies. This is understood as a form of divine judgment, a consequence for their willful rejection of God’s truth.
Could it be possible that when the Church of Christ is raptured and taken to heaven, the “strong delusion” will be the lie that those missing were taken by aliens—and that those left behind are actually the “good” people? When, in reality, the opposite is true?
See the link below for more insights on the rapture.
