The technology exists right now. Brain chips go in your forehead. Digital currency tracks every transaction. Revelation 13 warned us 2000 years ago. And now, the tragic events unfolding in Minneapolis seem to be another chilling sign of the End Times.
On Saturday morning, federal agents pepper sprayed a woman in the face at point-blank range in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, stepped in to help her. Multiple agents surrounded him, beat him while he was on the ground, and shot him multiple times. He died at the hospital.
But now, the Department of Homeland Security wants you to believe he was a violent threat who attacked federal officers with a loaded firearm. Secretary Kristi Noem stood before cameras and described how Pretti approached officers "menacingly with a semi-automatic handgun with dozens of rounds of ammunition."
This single sentence proves she's lying. How exactly do you SEE dozens of rounds? Ammunition is inside the magazine. The magazine is inside the gun. Unless Pretti was standing there holding a firearm in one hand and a box of loose ammunition in the other like he was at a shooting range, there's no way Noem could have witnessed "dozens of rounds."
No, this was an execution. A modern-day martyrdom. And as we delve into the details, the eschatological implications become chilling.
Pretti, whose very name evokes the apocalyptic "Pretribulation," was murdered by federal agents in the heart of Minneapolis - a city that has become a battleground for the forces of darkness. His death has all the hallmarks of the End Times persecution described in the Book of Revelation.
"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake." (Matthew 24:9)
The government's blatant lies about the incident only further confirm the prophetic warnings we've been given. They want to demonize Pretti, to paint him as a violent threat, when the reality is that he was simply trying to help a fellow citizen in need. Just as the Antichrist and his minions will seek to vilify and persecute the faithful in the Last Days.
"Then they will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service." (John 16:2)
But Pretti's death is not the end of the story. No, his martyrdom is a rallying cry for all who seek to stand firm in their faith. His blood cries out from the ground, a testament to the battle that rages between the forces of light and darkness.
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Revelation 12:11)
The stage is set. The players are in position. And as we watch the events in Minneapolis unfold, we must remember the words of Scripture and be ready for what is to come. For the time of tribulation is upon us, and the return of the King draws ever nearer.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
