Signs of the Time
with Carolyn Steen
THE END TIME:
What signs must occur before the END TIME will come?
TODAY:
The END TIME is on the way.
You can tell by the signs evident in what is being written and in what is happening in our world today.
During this Corvid-19 pandemic, there have been many changes in the public's acceptance of surveillance. In just a matter of weeks, people accepted surveillance in the name of safety and security. No one questions drones, cameras, and apps watching our every move.
II. There will need to be a way to monitor the people who have the chip.
III. There will be a tremendous increase in natural disasters and famines
IV. There will be a tremendous increase of anxiety, panic, and heart attacks due to terror over what is coming.
Luke 21:25-26 (AMP)
25 And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth [there will be] distress (trouble and anguish) of nations in bewilderment and perplexity [without resources, left wanting, embarrassed, in doubt, not knowing which way to turn] at the roaring (the echo) of the tossing of the sea,
26 Men swooning away or expiring with fear and dread and apprehension and expectation of the things that are coming on the world; for the [very] powers of the heavens will be shaken and caused to totter.;
Revelation 6:16-
17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
16 and they called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the [righteous] wrath and indignation of the Lamb;
17 for the great day of their wrath and vengeance and retribution has come, and who is able to [face God and] stand [before the wrath of the Lamb]?”
“ Federal agencies and experts warn that a historic wave of mental-health problems is approaching: depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide….
A federal emergency hotline for people in emotional distress registered a more than 1,000 percent increase in April compared with the same time last year….
Online therapy company Talkspace reported a 65 percent jump in clients since mid-February. Text messages and transcribed therapy sessions collected anonymously by the company show coronavirus-related anxiety dominating patients’ concerns….”

I. There will need to be a chip for the Mark of the Beast.
Revelation 13:17 (AMP) ...'And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.'
SIGN
SCRIPTURE:
In 2017, USA Today wrote in an article entitled: “You will get chipped — eventually”LOS ANGELES — You will get chipped. It’s just a matter of time….
“It will happen to everybody,” says Noelle Chesley, 49, associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “But not this year, and not in 2018. Maybe not my generation, but certainly that of my kids.”…
Be it wearable technology or an embedded chip, the always on-always connected chip is going to be part of our lives, she says.

Luke 21:11
Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 There will be violent earthquakes, and in various places famines and [deadly and devastating] pestilences (plagues, epidemics); and there will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven.
The Bible warns us of the continued increase of earthquakes, famines, and plagues & epidemics as the end times near.
Plagues
We certainly believe we can have plagues don’t we, especially after this Covid-19 pandemic. There will be plagues increasing in frequency as the end times gets closer. (GETS CLOSER? CAN IT GET CLOSER THAN ‘NOW’?)
Famines
As for famines, even with the amount of food available in our world, there is rarely a year goes by when famine is not threatening some area.
Earthquakes
How many times have you heard of an earthquake hitting some area in the last year? When I was growing up I never heard of an earthquake happening.
I was living in Kentucky as I went to Seminary only and off from 1980 – 1984. Before this time, Kentucky had never had an earthquake and didn’t have any data showing they were in an area where earthquakes were possible. While I lived in the area, Kentucky had two earthquakes strong enough to rearrange pictures as they hung on the wall.
Volcanoes
As I was growing up, I never heard of a volcanic eruption occurring, and certainly not in the USA.
Now we have had Mt. Saint Helens erupt in 1980 and in 2018, Kilauea erupted in Hawaii. There are signs that Mt. Saint Helens may be getting ready to erupt another time.
On December 9, 2019, a volcanic eruption occurred on White Island in New Zealand. It killed at least six people, left eight others presumed dead and injured many more.
Thirteen additional volcanic eruptions occurred throughout the world in December, 2019
