Prophecy in the Age of Telecommunications–Are you alarmed by the constant breaking news of unprecedented natural disasters and chaotic global weather?
In this gripping and timely class, John Barnett reveals that today’s terrifying headlines of tsunamis, earthquakes, and extreme weather were meticulously predicted by Jesus Christ. He explains how our modern era of global telecommunications is setting the perfect stage for the entire world to witness the terrifying birth pangs of the end times simultaneously.
Here is a summary of the profound prophetic events covered in this class:
1. The Era of Chaotic Skies: Weather as a Prophetic Alarm: Luke 21:25
Summary: While the earth has always experienced localized bad weather, Jesus warned of a specific future time characterized by global weather gone wild. He foretold signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and a specific "distress of nations with perplexity" due to the roaring of the sea and waves. Barnett points out that events like solar wind disrupting satellite grids or massive, uncontainable wildfires are exactly what Christ meant when He described a world troubled by weather events entirely beyond human control.
2. Fatal Panic: When the News Becomes Deadly: Luke 21:26
Summary: Jesus stated that people’s hearts will literally fail them from the fear of expecting the catastrophic events coming upon the earth. Barnett notes the Greek verb used here means "expiring"—meaning people will literally collapse and die purely from the terror of watching massive, global destruction unfold live on their screens.
3. The Tribulation Math: A Catastrophe Every Hour
Summary: To put the coming Tribulation into perspective, Barnett uses the horrific 2004 Sumatra tsunami, which killed roughly 200,000 people and generated an impact equal to one million atomic bombs. He explains a terrifying mathematical reality: for God’s prophecy in Revelation to be fulfilled—where half the earth’s population dies in just 42 months—a cataclysmic event on the exact scale of the 2004 tsunami would have to happen every single hour for three and a half years.
4. The Speed of Light: Prophesying the Global Screen: Revelation 11:9-10; Revelation 17:8
Summary: How could the entire world be terrified by these events simultaneously? Barnett reveals that the Apostle John prophesied the invention of global telecommunications. In an ancient era where news could only travel at the speed of a galloping horse, John explicitly wrote that "peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations" would instantly see the dead bodies of the two witnesses and the rise of the beast. Today, through satellite networks, smartphones, and streaming video, news now travels at the speed of light, perfectly fulfilling this biblical requirement.
This class is an urgent reminder that the catastrophic events we watch on our devices today are merely previews of the precise, prophesied future God has already mapped out.
