They never believed the boy when it mattered. You know the story of the boy who cried wolf - a shepherd lad who grows bored and pranks the villagers, only to be ignored when a real threat arrives.

This parable has chilling parallels to the state of the world today. For years, prophetic voices have been warning about a coming global reset, a new world order, and the erosion of freedom. Yet their cries have fallen on deaf ears.

Now, the "wolf" is at the door. Skyrocketing inflation, supply chain breakdowns, and a manufactured financial crisis loom. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum openly discusses its plans for a "Great Reset" - a technocratic agenda to fundamentally transform society.

This is no longer the stuff of conspiracy theories. It's unfolding before our eyes. And Bible-believing Christians can't afford to be dismissive or distracted.

The Signs of the Times Jesus warned that in the last days, there would be "wars and rumors of wars," "famines," "pestilences," and "earthquakes in various places" (Matthew 24:6-7). All of these birth pains are manifesting with increasing frequency and intensity.

The global supply chain crisis. The Russia-Ukraine conflict. The COVID-19 pandemic. Unprecedented weather disasters. These developments are not isolated - they're interconnected parts of a larger spiritual and geopolitical realignment.

Furthermore, we're seeing a rapid erosion of individual liberty, the normalization of totalitarian control, and the rise of a one-world system of governance. These are classic signs of the end times that Bible prophecy foretold millennia ago.

A Time for Watchfulness The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a cautionary tale. It reminds us that when true calamity strikes, many will be caught off guard - whether by dismissing the warning signs or simply becoming desensitized over time.

As followers of Christ, we cannot afford such complacency. Jesus exhorted us to "watch" and "be ready" for His return (Matthew 24:42-44). That means staying vigilant, discerning the times, and sounding the alarm to a world that is largely asleep.

The days ahead will be tumultuous. But for the believer, this is not a cause for fear, but for hope. For we know that the "wolf" - however fearsome he may seem - is ultimately under the sovereign control of our Almighty God. And His plans for history are unfolding precisely as foretold.

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