Around 59 minutes it describes the USGS information on earthquakes
No, this is the first time. I skimmed the first 50+ minutes and felt that was old hat, but starting at 59 minutes I feel they are doing a good job with the USGS data, the Bible prophecies that point to volcanic activity, and now at 1 hr 14 minutes they are doing a nice job of talking about one world government.
That is as far as I have gotten so far.
The Coming Christian Persecution
Why Things Are Getting Worse and How to Prepare for What Is to Come
by Thomas Williams
Churches burned. Christians beheaded. Catholic communities driven underground. Governments forcing silence upon those who profess fidelity to the gospel.
These experiences are not confined to those of the early Church or to the missionaries and converts in far-off pagan lands centuries ago. The persecution of Christians is happening right now - and it is closer to home than you may realize.
Throughout the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and even in the West, Christian communities are being targeted for their beliefs, whether through violence or public policy, and it’s a trend that continues to escalate.
Moral theologian and news analyst Dr. Thomas Williams incisively juxtaposes the still relatively unknown global Christian persecution of today with that of previous epochs, describing it in its various forms and providing insight into what it means for the Church and for society at large. He also provides valuable advice on how these outrages can be remedied and what Christians can do to prepare for what is to come.
In 2020, according to the World Watch List published by Open Doors, 340 million Christians were facing "high levels of persecution." Dr. Williams masterfully reveals the state of affairs in countries that systematically persecute Christians, such as North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, India, China, and Pakistan. In many cases, Christians are forced to flee these countries or face economic repercussions, forced conversions to Islam, imprisonment, violence, torture, and even death.
Dr. Williams also shows how Christian persecution has been with us since the beginning during the life of Jesus, from the time of His infancy to His death on the Cross. You’ll learn what Jesus said in the Bible about coming persecutions, as well as about the trials and martyrdom that His apostles endured and the hardships of the early Christians, including the five virgins who are commemorated in the Roman Canon of the Holy Mass.
Dr. Williams also explores why Christians are persecuted. He reveals Voltaire’s and Gibbon’s thoughts on how Christians were vilified and how attempts to rewrite history-to blame Christian persecution on Christians themselves!-originally surfaced. Moreover, you will see how modern attacks against Christians spring from six primary sources: atheism, radical Islam, Hindu nationalism, totalitarianism, academia, and Satanism. In the words of St. John Paul II, "The Church has once again become a Church of martyrs."
Essential reading for anyone committed to holding fast to the Faith in the face of an uncertain future, the book also explains:

What is going on in China?
This is just like when a slave rebels against the Plantation owner. They whip them in front of everyone. The Chinese people had the temerity to rebel against the Chinese overlords so they have unleashed death on them. Kill a million to let everyone know what happens when you rebel. Hence they did this at Chinese new year so everyone could go home and see their town and village being decimated.

Yep, can't wait till the documentary "A quiet genocide" about the atrocities done to the Maori people hits the big screen.
I turned to God because i was aware of the state of the world and all the biblical prophecies being fulfilled, it helped allot and made me think about whether i wanna be saved or damned. You aren't wrong but also not totally right. You have to aproach different people differently. Also if people aren't aware of what is to come they will cary on thinking there is nothing to be saved from.
Everyone is aware their heart will someday stop beating.
Reminding them to be ready for that moment is a help.

Yes but that alone is not enough for some, i have heard many people say "hell doesn't scare me" or "hell is gonna be lit" and it might sound like a joke but people actually believe this and think hell is a never endless party with like minded individuals and i bet you if they have heard or read the prophecies in the book of revelations they wouldn't think this anymore especially when all the prophecies start being fulfilled and people are shocked of world events the Bible will be the only book that has predicted this things.I think that in this times the type of 'End is near' preaching will be very effective or im just gullible an think people will change even in this times.Everyone is aware their heart will someday stop beating.

The wise shall understand but the wicked will never understand... Dan 12:10
This is also why many people will not "see" the Truth and others will.
A wise man first fears the LORD and does not put any confidence in his, or others, flesh.
I agree. Be instant in season and out of season. Share whether you think they will receive or not. You never know, I've seen people that seemed so far come quickly and others that seem right there, not acknowledge the plain Truth in front of them...
I didn't want to start an new thread just to post this and I haven't read this entire thread (it's realllllly long) but I thought this link could go here. They are doing ALL kinds of nano tech stuff now.....I thought this example was along those lines, but touted as "look at the amazing stuff humans can create/come up with! aren't we so awesome??!!"
