The Wolf at the Door: Discerning the Signs of the Times

The Boy Who Cried Wolf: A Cautionary Tale for Our Times

They never believed the boy when it mattered. You know the story of the boy who cried wolf - how he fooled the villagers one too many times until they stopped listening. And then, when a real wolf finally showed up, nobody came to his aid.

Could this be a prophetic metaphor for the world we now find ourselves in? As global tensions rise and societal unrest escalates, many are sounding the alarm, warning of impending catastrophe. But how many have dismissed these cries as the ravings of conspiracy theorists or doomsday preppers?

The Wolves of Geopolitics: Discerning the Signs of the Times

The players on the global stage today bear an uncanny resemblance to the "wolves" of biblical prophecy. From the resurgence of authoritarian regimes to the push for a new world order, the signs of the times are becoming impossible to ignore.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent aggression in Ukraine, for example, mirrors the biblical descriptions of "the king of the North" making his move. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum's agenda for a "great reset" of the global economy seems to align disturbingly well with the warnings of a coming economic collapse and totalitarian control.

Are these mere coincidences, or are we witnessing the unfolding of end-times events foretold in Scripture? As believers, we must vigilantly "discern the signs of the times" and heed the warnings of those who have been called as watchmen on the walls.

The Hour is Late: Preparing for the Storm Ahead

The clock is ticking, and the wolves are circling. Just as the boy in the parable learned too late, the consequences of ignoring the warning signs can be catastrophic.

Those with eyes to see and ears to hear must sound the alarm and urge their fellow believers to prepare. For the storm is coming, and only those who have heeded the prophetic call will be equipped to weather it.
