I enjoy taking walks in a nearby park. It is good to stretch the legs, get some fresh air, and enjoy the trees (the local park has some beautiful pine trees). However, sometimes on the weekend, you get people who do not pick up after their dogs, so you have to step around doggy landmines strewn about the pathway. Reading the news can be a similar experience. Scanning the news for interesting events, one has to step around the mis-reporting, the propaganda pieces, the slanted stories (and the totally fake ones).
There was some real news that is linked to prophecies of Revelation.
The Domain of Death and Hades is ….. expanding.
This site has argued that the conflict zones of the Middle East and Africa have grown over time, and represent the opening of the Fourth Seal, as told by Revelation 6:7-8:
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
We wondered whether Death and Hades actually lived in America, as it was American foreign policy which facilitated the creation of the domain of Death and Hades. America invaded Iraq, overthrowing the government of Saddam Hussein. The country has since suffered civil war, the invasion of ISIS, and Iraq is still being bombed by Israel and America (as they attack Shiite militia groups). America invaded Afghanistan, overthrowing the rule of the Taliban. However, the war still continues and has caused Afghan refugees to flood into Europe. America bombed Libya to help overthrow the government of Muammar Gaddafi. The country is still engulfed in a civil war that has the potential to widen into a pan-Arab war. The chaos American created in its attack on these Muslim nations has aggravated the Muslim rebel groups across Africa — which America’s response has been to send drones to bomb various African Muslim groups and to send US troops across the whole continent of Africa. The role America played in creating the conflict zones of the Middle East and Africa cannot be emphasized enough.
Revelation says that the domain of Death and Hades will eventually encompass a quarter of the world — it would appear that Iran may soon fall into their hands as well. America has launched an effort at regime change in Iran (though denied by the US government). The economic sanctions imposed by America is causing tremendous economic hardship for everyday Iranians.

This is meant to motivate them to revolt against the current rulers. Iran is a larger and more developed nation, when compared to Syria, Afghanistan, or Libya. Should Iran become engulfed in a civil war, it will have much larger repercussions than previous US regime change efforts.
Personally, I had thought that the conflict zones had already expanded to cover a quarter of the world, but it is very possible that Death and Hades has more ambitions — the US certainly seems to.
Politically Motivated Violence?
This site has made the argument that the agents of the Beast are using the Nazi paradigm to bring about the rise of the next tyrant — the anti-Christ. The Nazis first demonized the Jews, then afterward, they pursued their violent and deadly persecution. The same pattern seems to be emerging in Europe and America.
Attacks against Believers and churches in Western Europe has been steadily rising, and these attacks have reach all time highs last year.

It is still uncertain whether these attacks are being done by the Muslim migrants from the various conflict zones, or by violent leftist anti-Fa, or a combination of both. However, there has been anecdotal evidence that some have come from the latter.

We continue to argue that the agents of the Beast have been using a rhetoric of violence against political conservatives and have been using the anti-Fa to turn that rhetoric into actual physical violence. It is only a matter of time before their aim is widened to target politically conservative Christians. At the moment, Christians are being massacred in the conflict zones of the Middle East and Africa — in the future, Believers in Europe and America will face the same violence.
The Mark of the Beast
The anti-Christ will rise to his zenith of political power during the latter stages of the End of Days. At this time, the false Elijah (aka the second beast) will call for all those under the dominion of the Beast to take his mark, and nobody will be able to buy or sell without the mark (Revelation 13:16-17).
Whenever I see articles about why cash should be banned (or to be restricted), I think about the above.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-13/proposed-cash-ban-is-not-about-controlling-your-money-says-rba/11858104
Recently, in Australia, legislation was proposed to restrict the usage of cash for purchases. Cash will eventually be banned by the anti-Christ, but it will not happen overnight.
Conversion to Gay-ism
There has been a greater movement to allow very young children to decide their gender. Young children have actually been allowed to undergo gender surgery to change their gender. This ignores an incredibly important phenomena.
For a young child to become so self-conscious of their sex at such a young age, is not normal. It is with great certainty that the child has either experience some form of persistent sexual abuse or psychological manipulation. A young child is converted to homosexuality by being sexually abused by either an adult or an older child of the same sex. It is like a baby duck imprinting on a human as its mother, rather than its biological mother.
The abuse of very young children must be becoming more common as the phenomena of trans-children grows more common. Recently, an Indian tourist was arrested for repeatedly kissing a total stranger’s child in a public place.

One can only wonder what the defendant does in his own home town.
This is a very unpleasant truth, but it cannot be neglected. Very young children are being groomed and sexualized by transsexual story telling time and other forms of exposure. It is a blatant form of sexual grooming that is being carried out in public.
These issues will be used to incite violence against Believers who seek to protect their children. It is better to fight now then to be massacred later — recently, one protester was murdered shortly after protesting at a transsexual story telling event.
