Wolves at the Door: Uncovering the Prophetic Warnings Hiding in Plain Sight

Something's Not Right I'll be straight with you, my flock. Something's just not right in the world these days. The headlines scream of economic chaos, war rumors, and a coming global reset unlike anything we've seen. As your pastor, I can't ignore the unsettling parallels between current events and the biblical prophecies we've studied for years.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf... and Was Right You know the old parable about the boy who cried wolf? A shepherd boy gets bored and starts yelling "Wolf! Wolf!" to trick the villagers. They come running, only to find no wolf. They stop believing him. Then one day, a real wolf shows up - and nobody comes to save the boy.

Well, I'm here to tell you that this time, the boy was right. The wolf is real, and he's at the door.

Daniel's Disturbing Vision Turn with me now to the book of Daniel. In chapter 7, the prophet has a terrifying vision of four beasts rising from the sea - a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a terrifying fourth beast unlike anything he'd ever seen. These beasts, Daniel is told, represent a succession of powerful earthly kingdoms that will arise.

The details of this vision are chilling when you compare them to the world events unfolding around us. The lion represents the Babylonian empire. The bear is the Medo-Persian empire. The leopard is the Greek empire of Alexander the Great.

But that fourth beast? Scholars have long debated its identity. Some say it represents the Roman empire. Others believe it points to a future global superpower that will arise in the end times - a revived Roman empire, if you will. Either way, the implications are deeply unsettling.

Isaiah's Warning Cry And let's not forget the prophet Isaiah, who issued this dire warning centuries ago: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

Does that not describe our topsy-turvy, morally inverted world to a tee? Evil is celebrated, while good is condemned. Lies masquerade as truth, and the light of God's Word is systematically extinguished.

The Gathering Storm My friends, the prophetic storm clouds are gathering. The wolves are at the door. And I fear that, like the villagers in the parable, many will ignore the warning cries until it's too late.

But I implore you: do not be like them. Open your eyes. Read the signs of the times. Prepare your heart and your household for the tribulation that lies ahead.

The Lord is coming. Are you ready?
