W.A.H. — World According to Hiro

Brothers and sisters,

Watchmen don't wait for the city to burn before they sound the trumpet. "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet... his blood I will require at the watchman's hand" (Ezekiel 33:6, ESV). So this week we step back from single headlines and look at the whole arc of what is being prepared.

1. The buildup is happening now. The world is on heightened alert, and nations are telling their people to get ready. Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Taiwan, Poland, the Nordic and Baltic states, the European Union and even the Australian Red Cross are telling their people to store anywhere from three days to several weeks' worth of food and water at home. Most of this is standing guidance, but it is being pushed hard and all at once. Kim Jong Un has told North Korea's frontline company commanders to complete war preparations and reach full combat readiness. Britain has updated its travel warnings for 16 countries across the Middle East and region, and three of its four nuclear-deterrent submarines are at sea for the first time in over five years. Countries are moving to protect remaining sources of critical supplies. Algeria has sent troops into Niger, to protect oil and gas interests tied to the Trans-Saharan pipeline. In Ukraine, Europe's largest nuclear plant now hangs on a single outside power line as winter comes. Cyberattacks on infrastructure and banking are happening now. Concerns are being raised that election issues in Israel and the US may allow enemies to act abroad. Jesus warned us about this time, "wars and rumors of wars... see that you are not alarmed, for this must take place" (Matthew 24:6).

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, opening the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta on 30 Oct, said: "We are in a critical moment. I would call it a moment of choosing, and I would say not just for my country, the United States of America, but frankly for the world. We are facing a series of interconnected economic and geopolitical crises, many of which pose severe threats to essential foundations of the global economic order. New disruptions and strains to global energy and food supplies..."

2. Israel is the target of the escalation. Scripture does not leave us guessing where the nations are headed. "I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle" (Zechariah 14:2; see also Ezekiel 38:8-16). On our timeline, we look for a major invasion of Israel around Purim 2028, roughly a year and a half from now. Today's wars, stockpiles, and readiness orders are the staging ground for that day, whether the planners know it or not. "When these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28).

3. Behind it all is the Red Horseman. No one is calling it World War III. But ministries are planning for it, armies are drilling for it, supply chains and energy routes from Hormuz to the Sahel are being fought over, and whole populations are being prepared for shortages. "While people are saying, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them" (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Eventually, Men's hearts will be "fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world" (Luke 21:26).

4. We've seen the early impacts of the Black Horseman as droughts lowered yields and wars prevented food, fuel and fertilizer from reaching markets around the world. Gas prices rose and global harvests fell, richer nations paid more, while poorer nations went without. This will get worse, the final cost will be made known by the Pale Horseman, whose rider is Death, with Hades following. "They were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth" (Revelation 6:8). Sword, famine and pestilence are not abstractions this week. We see the swords being sharpened, the famine being stocked against, and Ebola in Congo now past 10,000 cases and 5,000 deaths. We believe the season is here, and the time to turn is now: "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6).

This report is not written to frighten you. It is written so that you will be found ready, with oil in your lamps (Matthew 25:1-13), provisions in your house, and your brothers and sisters in your prayers. Assuming you are already prepared, verify you have sufficient water, waste/sewage bags, freezers and grills (power / fuel) for a couple weeks minimum. "The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it" (Proverbs 22:3).

Watch with us,
Hiro and Eli-ezer
