"When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8). This haunting question from Jesus Christ Himself echoes with chilling relevance as we witness the unfolding of end-times events before our very eyes.

Consider the case of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse who was gunned down by federal agents in Minneapolis this past Saturday. The "official story" spun by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is nothing short of an audacious lie, a transparent attempt to conceal the disturbing truth.

Noem claimed that Pretti "approached officers menacingly with a semi-automatic handgun and dozens of rounds of ammunition." But as any seasoned investigator knows, that single statement betrays the falsehood at the heart of the government's narrative. How exactly does one "see" dozens of rounds of ammunition? Unless Pretti was wielding a firearm in one hand and a box of loose cartridges in the other, Noem's claim defies logic.

The Prophetic Timeline

This brazen disregard for facts should come as no surprise to those versed in biblical prophecy. The Book of Daniel foretold a time when "truth would be thrown to the ground" (Daniel 8:12) and "the wise would be persecuted" (Daniel 11:35). The stage is being set for the great deception of the end times, when "the man of lawlessness" will arise and "use all kinds of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie" (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

The Revelation of John paints an equally sobering picture - a world where the beast will "force all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads" (Revelation 13:16). Is it merely coincidence that the technology for brain chips and digital currency now exists, precisely as the scripture warned millennia ago?

A Clarion Call to the Faithful

As the forces of darkness gather strength, we must heed the urgent call to stand firm in our faith. The martyrdom of Alex Pretti should serve as a clarion call to the true believers, a reminder that the time of tribulation is upon us. Will we, like the early Christians, be willing to face persecution and even death for the sake of the gospel?

The choice is ours. We can either succumb to the lies of the enemy or boldly declare the truth of God's eternal Word. For "the time is near. The one who is victorious will...be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life" (Revelation 3:11-12).

The choice, my friends, is yours. Choose wisely.

"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
