In this sermon, Pastor Allen Victor of Calvary Chapel West Jacksonville takes us on a journey through the pages of biblical prophecy, uncovering the signs that point to the imminent return of Jesus Christ. With an unwavering commitment to sounding the trumpet of warning, Pastor Allen reminds us of our role as watchmen in these uncertain times.

The sermon begins with an introduction to the importance of prophecy and the urgency of the times we live in. Pastor Allen emphasizes that our understanding of what lies ahead is rooted in the prophetic word of the Bible. He highlights the astonishing accuracy of past prophecies, with hundreds of them already fulfilled.

Two Types of Prophecies: Pastor Allen distinguishes between foretelling and forth-telling prophecies. Foretelling prophecies involve predicting future events based on biblical prophecies, allowing us to anticipate what will happen before it comes to pass.

Six Signs of the End Times:

1. Sign of Israel: Pastor Allen asserts that Israel serves as God's prophetic time clock for the return of Christ. He shares both fulfilled and future prophecies related to Israel, including the regathering of the people and the increasing hostility towards the nation. He predicts an escalation in anti-Semitism and a shift in America's alliance with Israel.
2. Sign of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology: Drawing from Daniel 12:1-4, Pastor Allen discusses the exponential growth of knowledge, thanks to technological advancements, particularly AI. He highlights the potential for AI-generated content to disrupt various industries and the societal implications of this technology. Concerns regarding job displacement and ethical dilemmas are addressed, with a prediction that AI could be used to reduce the Earth's population.
3. Sign of Deception: Pastor Allen explores the rise of deception in our world today, referencing 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. He delves into the concept of deepfakes, AI-generated realistic videos, and their potential to manipulate public perception. The need for enhanced security measures, such as biometric authentication, is emphasized. He predicts the possibility of a global ID system leading to the fulfillment of the Mark of the Beast prophecy.
4. Sign of Global Government: Using Daniel 2's imagery of a statue, Pastor Allen discusses the idea of a global government, often referred to as the "New World Order." He cites the Great Reset and its eight predictions by the World Economic Forum, including the erosion of national sovereignty and the potential for external leadership in times of crisis. He predicts the possibility of external leaders intervening in the governance of nations.
5. Sign of Global Religion: Pastor Allen turns to Matthew 24:24 to address the potential rise of a global religion under the Anti-Christ. He warns that this religion may not seek to unify beliefs but rather to promote acceptance of all religions as equal. He highlights the importance of adhering to the biblical truth in a world increasingly focused on deception.
6. Sign of Global Currency: The sermon concludes with an exploration of the financial landscape, where nations are moving towards digital currencies. Pastor Allen predicts that this shift will facilitate the implementation of the Mark of the Beast, making it easier to control access to resources and transactions.

Pastor Allen reiterates the urgency of the times and the certainty of impending judgment. He challenges the congregation to heed the warning, as described in Ezekiel 33:1-6, and asks whether they are listening. As a watchman on the wall, he urges everyone to prepare for the coming events and to seek the truth in the Bible.
