On a fateful Saturday in Minneapolis, federal agents brutally gunned down Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The official narrative from Homeland Security paints Pretti as a violent threat who menacingly approached officers with a semi-automatic handgun.

But this single sentence proves they're lying through their teeth. "Dozens of rounds of ammunition"? Unless Pretti was packing heat like Rambo, that's a blatant falsehood. The truth is, he stepped in to help a woman being pepper-sprayed, and the feds reacted with lethal force.

As disturbing as this incident is, we must view it through a prophetic lens. Because Pretti's tragic fate is just the latest sign that the End Times are upon us.

The Tribulation Has Begun

The Bible is crystal clear - in the last days before Christ's return, there will be a period of unparalleled global upheaval and persecution of believers. Revelation 13 describes a coming "beast" system that will force everyone to take a digital "mark" to buy or sell. Those who refuse will be hunted down and executed.

Does that sound familiar? The technology to implement this diabolical plan already exists. Brain chips, digital currency, surveillance states - it's all here. And the government's heavy-handed crackdown on citizens is a chilling preview of the spiritual warfare to come.

Judgment at the Millennial Throne

Make no mistake, the tribulation will be a time of God's righteous judgment on a Christ-rejecting world. As the Book of Revelation makes clear, those who take the mark of the beast will face eternal separation from God.

But believers who endure to the end will be vindicated at the Judgment Seat of Christ. There, Jesus will evaluate our lives and reward us accordingly. Those found worthy will reign with Him for 1,000 years during the Millennial Kingdom.

The choice is clear - submit to the beast system, or hold fast to your faith in Christ. Because the Day of the Lord is at hand, and only the wise will escape.

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