The Beginning of Sorrows are Societal Contractions

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the fellowship tonight. We've

got a pretty interesting one for you. I'm going to

have to treat ontological shock to get you to wake

up to see what God is actually saying. So, just

the title should get your attention. The beginning of sorrows

are societal contractions. Now, this is... a sociological term. It's

a psychological term. I learned these things in an institution

of higher learning. So, but in that vein, let me

see here. In that vein, we need to take a

look at this. I'm just going to read to you

here just the standard definition. Societal contraction is a systematic

downscaling of a civilization's size, complexity, economic output, and energy consumption.

Unlike a sudden collapse, a contraction is often a prolonged,

gradual process where a society adapts to severe resource constraints

or system decline. So, This is usually set on by

resource depletion. Running out of critical raw materials, topsoil, cheap

energy sources. It creates a demographic decline. Sustained dropping of

birth rates and rapidly aging populations. Economic stagnation. I don't

need to go into that. Complexity overload. Climate strained. Now

here's some things you need to know. Most of you know...

about Agenda 2030. And here is some things you need

to be given insight into. So the key characteristics, there

can be a managed decline. Institutions attempt to deliberately shrink

services rather than letting them completely break down. Localization. Trade

and supply chains shift from global networks back to a

regional local community. Simplification. Technology and social structures become less

specialized and more utilitarian. Asset stranding. Infrastructure like highways, large

commercial buildings, or remote suburbs are abandoned due to high

upkeep costs. Now, I'm literally probably sending chills up your

spine right now because I'm literally describing you what has

been happening here lately. And I mean, we could get

into the education and all that, but that would really

take a whole lot of time. You need to know

the best examples of this, of course, is the late

Roman Empire, modern demographics like Japan, Italy, and South Korea.

And then, of course, what's at hand with the powers

that be right now. And there's 10 of them. The

Bible says there are 10 of these world leaders whom

we don't know who they are. But they are implementing

degrowth theory. Now, a lot of you probably wouldn't have

heard of that until right now. But that is an

intentional economic philosophy that advances for a controlled contraction of

production to achieve ecological sustainability. So, ladies and gentlemen, you

need to realize that this is what the birth pangs are.

Birth pangs are literally God enforcing societal contractions. That's what

the birth pangs are. That's what they are. So when

we go to Matthew chapter 24 verse 8, this is

Matthew 24:8

categorically what Jesus Christ himself says. Now, In verse 8,

in your KJV and the New King James Version, which

Maranatha Ministry uses, it's mistranslated. It is translated as beginning

of sorrows. This is an incorrect translation. It's an incorrect

rendering of the Greek word odin. Odin means one thing.

It means travail pain, birth pain. It literally means contraction.

This should be translated contraction. Now, One of my favorite,

personal favorite, actually, because of the dynamics, this translation was

made in Mulberry, Indiana, which is the town right next

to where I used to live. So I am, well,

I don't need to go into great lengths about that.

But one of my favorite translations is the KJ3. It's

called the KJ3. The problem is, is that as I'm

getting older, The print is so small that I can't

read it. So that makes it pretty hard to read

it because it's not really available in print. You know,

in large print, that is to say. So it correctly

translates this. Green correctly translated it this way. But all

these are the beginning of birth pangs. this is a

proper translation. This is the way it should be translated,

birth pangs. So you need to know, now that you

know this up front, now that I've given you the

education academically speaking, we can take a look at what

the Lord Jesus Christ said, which matches up exactly with

what the seals are. You realize that This is really

what God is doing. He is downscaling. He is implementing

societal contractions. This is the whole purpose of the reason

why he used the word Odin here in Greek. Contraction.

This is why. When you know this, when your eyes

are open to this, it brings open other things as,

for example, as to why In Matthew chapter 24. Verse 19.

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

It talks. It is speaking about. Children. Little literal children. So.

God is forcing one thing. Upon the ungodly. He's doing

something completely different. With the godly. He's doing something completely different.

From those of us that's been born again. So. Once

you're given this information and then you take a look

at Revelation chapter 6, it will literally blow your mind.

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

He's coming out saying that these are societal contractions. Let

me give you an example. When you have an object

that undergoes rapid price increase, What the academics say is happening,

it is a currency value contraction. That's what they say.

When the general population loses numbers overall, that's called a

population contraction. These things are literally common knowledge. But people

normally don't look at the book of Revelation academically. They

don't look at it as if they're a financier. They

don't look at it as if they're a farmer. Because

what is described there is very plain and very clear.

What is going on is a serious agricultural contraction. This

triggers series of events. It messes with the monetary, and

I've already said that. What is described there is a

monetary value contraction. These societal constructs is what runs our society,

our education system, the money system, the food distribution system.

All of these things, once you realize what God is doing,

With these birth pangs, he is implementing societal contractions across

all of society's structures. That's what this is describing. So,

when you look at it that way, boy, the text

really opens up to you. It really opens up to you.

And it should. Because You knew all these things instinctually

before I started telling them to you. You knew that's

what the book of Revelation is describing. in Revelation chapter 6.

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

But you weren't able to put it into its academic context.

What God is doing is enforcing societal contractions across all

of society's constructs. That's what he's doing. And he's doing

it systematically. So, Take note that Matthew chapter 24 and

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

Revelation chapter 6 literally line up tit for tat, literally categorically.

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

So let's take a look at the first seal, okay?

I'm going to read the first seal from Matthew chapter 24.

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no

one deceives you, for many will come in my name, saying,

I am the Christ, and will deceive many. This is,

of course, the first seal. Revelation chapter 6, verses 1

Revelation 6:1

and 2. Now I saw the Lamb opened one of

the seals, and I heard one of the four living

creatures saying with a voice like thunder, Come and see.

And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who

sat on it had a bow, and a crown was

given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. So,

And you realize that's the very same thing he just mentioned.

Let's go to the next one. Verse 6, And you

will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to

it that you are not troubled, for all these things

must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

The second seal. When he opened the second seal, I

heard a second living creature saying, Come and see. Another horse,

a fiery red, went out. And it was granted to

the one who sat on it to take peace from

the earth and that the people should kill one another.

And there was given to him a great sword. Literally speaking,

this is categorical. He is using these first two things

to trigger other events. So let's go back to Matthew

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

chapter 24. Verse 7. For nation will rise against nation,

and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences,

and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning

of sorrows. So he's categorically told you, I am enforcing

societal contraction. Okay, so let's pick it up in verse 10.

five with a third seal. When he opened a third seal,

I heard a third living creature say, Come and see.

So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he

who sat on it had a pair of scales in

his hand. I heard a voice in the midst of

the four living creatures saying, A quart of wheat for

a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius,

and do not harm the oil and the wine. This

one third seal, it tells you that he's enforcing societal

contractions across two fronts. Because hyperinflation has set in. Now remember,

inflation is the exact opposite of a monetary contraction in

its value. But it's the same exact thing. And he's

saying here that there's a contraction in the monetary value.

So all of the sudden, these agricultural products skyrocket in price.

But he's also saying that the only reason why that

would do that would be because there is a huge

contraction in agricultural production. it's two sides of the same

exact coin. That's what it is. It's two sides of

the same exact coin. When you realize that academics would

label this, this is a monetary value contraction and it's

an agricultural production contraction because contraction is a legal term.

So this is how academics label these things. Verse 7,

the fourth seal. When he opened the fourth seal, I

heard a voice of the four living creatures saying, Come

and see. So I looked, and behold, a pale horse.

And the name of him who sat on it was Death.

And Hades followed with him. And power was given to

them over fourth of the earth to kill with sword,

with hunger, with death, and by the beast of the earth. So,

now comes your population contraction. The population contraction is a

result of the other contractions. And take note. Why does

it say beast of the earth here? This is very

plain into the text in other biblical verses. Because there

is a massive reduction in agricultural production, there ensues a

massive reduction in cattle. And not only in cattle, in prey.

It's key critical that you see this, that God is

driving things along this path using contractions. When the prey

massively contracts, you will have an explosion in predation. That

is to say, when livestock and wild game are very low,

the predators continue to be predators and they will begin

to cross natural barriers that God has put into them.

That is to say, when a great white shark can't

find any seals to eat, they will most assuredly come

after swimmers. This is literally common knowledge. This is what

creates the man-eater phenomena. Now, one of the best places

to study this is in India with their tigers, of

which I have done so, in preparation for teaching God's Word. Many,

many man-eaters, documented cases occur in India. And it's always

the same. The predator winds up with a prey reduction

and it is forced due to hunger to act outside

of their normal boundaries. And they will start, they will

even attack people that are riding elephants. This is well documented.

These tigers will go psychotic, and they, of course, will

have to be put down. This is common knowledge. This

happens to predators. Whenever there's a reduction in their prey,

they will turn into man-eaters. This is common knowledge. It's

literally common knowledge. So, this, of course, the reason why

this is the last phrase in verse 9, is because

you're supposed to know this will also trigger human predation. Yes,

ladies and gentlemen, it will get so bad that not

only will the predators begin to prey on humans, humans

will begin to prey on humans. This creates a massive

Population contraction. Verse 9. So, I tell you what. Let

me read the last phrase of verse 8. And by

the wild beast of the earth. And when he opened

the fifth seal, I saw under the souls, or I'm sorry,

under the altar, the souls of those who had been

slain for the word of God and for the testimony

which they held. And they cried out with a loud voice, saying,

How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge

and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

And white robes was given to each of them. And

it was said to them that they should rest a

little while longer until both the number of their fellow

servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were,

were completed this day. Sets the dynamic. This sets the dynamic.

This predation is very plain to the Greek text when

you just read it and you realize the backdrop of

societal contractions and their machinations. God is literally forcing nature

to take its course. And it is amazing to me

that professing Christians deny the simple fact that is the

supernatural which propels nature. It's incredible that professing Christians deny

and reject And take note, I did say professing. I

did not say that they were. So, when you read

this and you realize what this is talking about, it

makes you go back to Matthew chapter 24 to follow

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

up who is doing this? Who is doing this predation?

Is it atheists? Is it Muslims? I mean, everybody knows

that's one of the one of the most famous end-time

topics of today, the topic of a Muslim Antichrist. Well,

let's keep reading. We're going to pick it up once again,

take note, in verse 9. Yes. The fifth seal martyrs,

triggered by societal contraction, which institutes human predation, Yes, in

Revelation chapter 6, that starts in verse 9. It also

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

starts in verse 9, because Jesus Christ is the author

of both chapters. So, Matthew chapter 24, verse 9. Then they...

Matthew 24:9

will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and

you will be hated by all nations for my namesake.

And then many will be offended, will betray one another,

and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will

rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound,

the love of many will grow cold. But he who

endures to the end shall be saved. 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. Verse 14. Verse 14, you need to understand.

This is also implemented into Revelation 6, verse 9. Jesus

Revelation 6:9

Christ here in Matthew chapter 24 is expecting you to

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

get the point. The point is this. They're going to

martyr you because of God's word. Because in the birth pangs,

the entire planet will know this is all God's fault

and they will know that this is Jesus Christ's fault

and it is Jesus Christ's breaking these seals in heaven.

The gospel referred to of the kingdom is only found

in the word. It is exclusively in the word. It

is not in the traditions of man. It's not in

catechisms or confirmations or or baptisms or communion it's in

the Bible God's holy word so take note this is

why those of us that's been born again this is

why these things happen because we hold to the word

That is exactly what Revelation chapter 6 verse 9 said.

Revelation 6:9

This is not a war of religion like what was

triggered by the Great Reformation. It's not. This is the

great apostasy. This comes from inside your congregation. That's where

it comes from. That's why so many other verses lines up.

With what Jesus Christ just said. Not just these words.

But if you don't put. Matthew chapter 24 verse 15.

Matthew 24:15

And apply it to. Oh I understand what you're talking about.

This is why. The fifth seal event says they are martyred.

Because of God's word. And they testify to it. That's how.

That testimony. That testimony. is the gospel of the kingdom.

And it will be preached in all the world as

a witness to the nations, and then the end will come.

He is telling you, he is giving you an absolute

100% proof of text of when the abomination of desolation

is going to happen. That's why it's the very next verse.

Let us test what I have said and just see.

Matthew chapter 24, verse 14. And this gospel of the

Matthew 24:14

kingdom will be preached in all the world as a

witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Therefore,

when you see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel

the prophet standing in the holy place, whoever reads, let

him understand. So realize this, as soon as this testimony

goes to the end and everybody hears it, and everybody

either chooses the Lord Jesus Christ or hates him for

breaking these seals, you realize the text itself says that

everything is contracted by 25%. Two billion people will die.

Not during the tribulation. During the birth pangs. Before the

tribulation ever starts. And they figure it out. They figure

it out. That Jesus Christ is actually doing this. And

we still follow him anyway. And they martyr us for it.

Let's go back to Revelation chapter 6. And prove that.

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

Let's prove that. Let's see if that pans out. Verse 9,

Revelation chapter 6. When he opened the fifth seal, I

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

saw under the altars the souls who had been slain

for the word of God and for the testimony which

they held. And they cried out with a loud voice saying,

How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge

and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

Then white robes was given to each of them, and

it was said to them that they should rest a

little while longer, until both the number of their fellow

servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were,

was completed. So take note. You already know. When their

testimony of the word. Has gone global. And circumvents the globe.

He told you as soon as that. Testimony of the

word of God. Circumvents the globe. The abomination of desolation

will take place. Let's pick it up. What's the next verse?

So you know. What happens next is the abomination of desolation.

Let's read and see what happens. Verse 12, when I

looked and he opened the sixth seal and behold, there

was a great earthquake and the sun became black as

sackcloth of hair and the moon became like blood. The

stars of heaven fell to earth as a fig tree

drops its late figs when it's shaken by a mighty wind.

Then the sky will recede like a scroll when it

is rolled up and every mountain and island was moved

out of its place. And the kings of the earth,

great men, rich men, commanders, mighty men, every slave and

free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the

rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and

the rocks, fall on us and hide us from the

face of he who sits on the throne and from

the wrath of the land for the great day of

his wrath has come and who is able to stand.

So now you know God's reaction to the abomination of desolation.

This is categorically the great day of the Lord. These

very things are described in the book dedicated to this

one event, which is the book of Job. It is

beyond contestation. This is the great day of the Lord.

And this great day of the Lord must be a

result of the abomination of desolation. These proofs are proven

out in Psalm chapter 2. Let me say that again

Psalms 2 · chapter mention

in Psalm chapter 2. It is in Psalm chapter 2

Psalms 2 · chapter mention Psalms 2 · chapter mention

that you realize what happens after all the seals have

been broken. I know that is hard to believe, but

it is the truth. Psalm 2 tells you what happens

when the seals are done being broken. I'm going to

read it to you and you will see Everything that

Jesus Christ has said so far follows suit. It follows suit.

It's true. It's categorically true. It's systematically true. Psalm 2.

Why do the nations rage and the people plot a

vain thing? We already know why. It's due to societal contractions.

What happens as a result when all these people figure

out Jesus Christ is in heaven breaking these seals, triggering

these events on earth? What do they do about it?

These 10 kings spoken plainly in God's word. I don't

care what your conspiracy theorists say. I know they all

say there's 13 members in the Illuminati. That's all a lie. Revelation,

God says there's 10 kings. What do they do? Verse 2.

The kings of the earth set themselves and rulers take

counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed saying. So,

take note. Just tells you what happens at the end

of the seals. Jesus Christ is anointed the co-regent. Now,

this is plain... to the verse of Revelation chapter 11

Revelation 11:15

verse 15 this is quite simply biblically beyond contestation okay

so we know what they're going to do they're going

to appoint this man of sin they're going to appoint

him as leader of the planet and he will be

transformed into after he performs the abomination of desolation the

son of perdition Let's read about it. Verse 3. Let

us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their

courts from us. He who sits in the heaven shall laugh.

The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then he shall

speak to them in his wrath and distress them in

his deep displeasure. Here it is. I have set my

king on my holy hill of Zion. I will declare

the decree. The Lord has said to you, you are

my son. Today, I have begotten you. This is literally

the fulfillment of Hebrews chapter 10, verses 11 through 14.

Hebrews 10:11–14

This is the exact moment when he's coronated. This is

when all of his enemies are made his footstool. Okay? Okay? So,

these last verses, you need to really pay attention to them.

Because that's what he's getting ready to say. And he

takes possession of them at the Battle of Armageddon, which

is his return. That's the return of Jesus Christ. There

is no secret, cowardly return of Jesus. There's only one

return of Jesus. It is It has a period placed

at the end of it in Revelation chapter 15. It

Revelation 15 · chapter mention

specifically says that he himself frauds the wine press of

God's wrath. So anyway, let's read about this. This is

the preparation for these things. Verse 8, ask of me

and I will give you the nations for your inheritance

and the ends of the earth for your possession. You

shall break them with a rod of iron. Now wait

a minute. This rod of iron is mentioned in that

very verse I was talking about in Revelation chapter 15.

Revelation 15 · chapter mention

But I digress. You shall dash them to pieces like

a potter's vessel. Yes, this is obviously talking about the

battle of Armageddon. Now therefore, be wise, you kings. Be instructed,

you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear

and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son lest he be angry.

And you perish in the way. When his wrath is kindled.

But a little. Blessed are those. Who put their trust

in him. Everything I've relayed to you tonight. Is systematic.

It is systematic. These ten kings. know exactly why these

societal contractions are happening. It's because of Jesus breaking the seals.

So they say, we reject Christ as Messiah. We will

elect our own Messiah. And whoever they elect is christened

By performing the abomination of desolation. Jesus Christ made this.

Elementary style clear. In Matthew chapter 24. And backing it up.

Matthew 24 · chapter mention

With Revelation chapter 6. It's that simple. And it is amazing.

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

how easy it is to understand once you get all

of what the clergy has misled you about out of

your thought process. It really is quite elementary. As a

matter of fact, I can prove this because I can

name three different churches that I taught these very things

to the elementary classes. I taught these things to my

own elementary children. So, once you realize, going back to

the beginning, once you realize what we're talking about here

is societal contractions, that's why Jesus Christ said it. He

wasn't speaking Hebrew, did you know that? Yeah, he was

speaking Greek, and he said odin. He said contractions. And

you're supposed to know, well, you're supposed to know that

when God speaks, he can say everything. And yes, he

literally is talking about a batch of babies that are

going to be born during this time. And everyone will

notice how, why is everything contracting, especially the birth rate,

and how are you people pregnant? Yes, I'm not going

to cover that, because if I did, it would just

create information overload with you. I have proven to you today,

beyond contestation, that in a manner of speaking, prophetically, in

Matthew chapter 24, verse 8, Jesus Christ was saying, I'm

Matthew 24:8

going to implement societal contractions. Now, you can do whatever

you'd like but you need to what do you need

to do you need to believe God's word yes they're

going to make a martyr out of you for it

those that have not been born again but you also

need to understand this The 10 Kings know this. I'm

going to say something that's going to shock you. you,

but once you hear it, you will know in your

heart with whom the Lord is with and with whom

the Lord is not with. Psalm 2 is categorically clear

in that they understand it's the Lord Jesus Christ breaking

these seals and causing this. This is why they're implementing,

wait for it, I'm going to tell you, you never

heard it anywhere else. This is why these ten kings

are trying to implement Agenda 2030. They are trying to

stave off Jesus Christ doing this. They think in their minds,

if they start implementing these societal contractions, Jesus Christ won't

get involved. But now that I said it, you can't

unsee it, can you? There's no need for me to

read Psalm 2 in Greek. No need for me to

read it to you in Hebrew. I've already struck a

chord with you. This is how the Holy Spirit works.

That thing you're feeling right now, Is the Holy Spirit.

Has rung true in you. You realize. Those ten kings.

Really do know this. And they really are. Trying to

stave off. Jesus Christ. Breaking those seals. That's what agenda

2030 is. If you don't believe me, go to the

Agenda 2030 documentation and read it for yourself. The contractions

mentioned in Revelation chapter 6, they're trying to implement. So

Revelation 6 · chapter mention

Christ won't. They think in their minds, you know what,

I'm going to stop right there. I have rung you

so your spirit knows God's word is true. I've said enough.

I may very well say more privately. Because those of

you need to know that's going to watch this. You

need to know. After every fellowship, I allow for questions

and comments and conversation after the recording. And I just

rang you like a bell, didn't I? A lot of

you are like getting butterflies in your stomach right now.

You realize, oh my goodness, they know. Yeah, they know.

They actually think that the societal contractions, by the way,

they're in all the prophets. If you have eyes that

can see, But if you're too busy distracted with theological myths,

like dispensationalism, like preterism, like eternal security, like once saved,

always saved, you're never going to see it. You're just

never going to see it. You must be born again.

Like I said, I could go into great lengths. I

can tell you everything. Because the psychology is right there

in all the scriptures. All the prophets describe these societal contractions.

So they think in their mind, oh, we must be...

I'm going to say it anyway. So that you may know.

God's word is true. And the traditions of men. Are

to be rejected. They think. These things are happening. Because

we are destroying the earth. So these ten kings. Think

to themselves. Okay. If we implement. These societal contractions. And

back off of everything. 25%. Jesus Christ will leave us alone.

This is why the word says those destroying the earth.

If this is the first time you've ever heard these things,

there's a reason for that. Because Satan runs your denominations.

And all your. All of your theological myths. Are just

a distraction away from the word. But those of us

who testify of the word. our fellow congregants that have

not been born again, will make martyrs out of us.

Thus saith the Word. So, with that, any questions or comments?

Anything anybody wants to talk about? Of course, I could

go ahead and apologize, because most of you remember when

I did the interview... About 2030, remember, I went on

that broadcast and I had great hopes for that broadcast

and that ministry. Anyway, yes, all of these things I

knew when I gave that interview. I could have said

all these things, but I didn't. Because I spoke as

the Spirit speaks. Most of you know that you've heard

me talk about topics 20 times over the past 16 years,

and you've heard me say different things every time I

spoke about them. That's why. Because only the Spirit can

know what needs to be relayed. That is not found

in curriculum. That's not found in sermon indexes. That's not

found online. That's not found... In the material world. That's

only found in the spiritual world. That's why those of us.

That's been born again. We walk according to the spirit.

We're not flesh walkers. Flesh walkers. Are susceptible. To societal. Contractions.

Christians are not. So. Any questions or comments, anybody? Or

shall we just end it there? Well, I got over

easy again, didn't I? Okay, going once. Going twice. Going

three times. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
