Prophecy Updates // Pastor Gene Pensiero

People ask, “Does COVID19 have anything to do with Bible prophecy?” My answer is, “No, not directly.” By that I mean it is not one of the plagues we read about in the Revelation. Indirectly, however, COVID19 has a lot to do with Bible prophecy in that it is accelerating several prominent end times predictions. […]

Imagery in both the Book of Daniel and the Revelation leads us to believe that the End Times will feature a global government, and a global economy. But globalism is exactly what we are seeing on account of COVID19. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

We’ve suggested that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could power the Image of the Beast we see in the Revelation. That’s why I was excited to run across a transcript from a podcast featuring John Lennox. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The description we are given in the Bible of the future Great Tribulation suggests there will be what experts today call a “surveillance state.” Your habits, your movements, will all be known to the global government of the Tribulation. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Until recently, unless you lived in China, it has been hard to believe that such a thing like the mark of the beast could be forced upon a freedom-loving public. In just a few months, however, COVID19 has effectively changed that. Around the world, citizens are going to be forced to receive vaccinations or suffer […]

The Revelation of Jesus Christ seems to describe what commentators call a one-world government during the future Great Tribulation. You’d therefore expect a serious movement towards a more global governance to gain traction before the Tribulation. Pastor Gene Pensiero www.calvaryhanford.com www.calvaryhanford.com/prophecy

The Mark of the Beast. Believers and nonbelievers alike have some familiarity with it. It is something having to do with your hand or forehead that will allow you to identify yourself, and to conduct all of your business. Biblically, it seems to be a system in place globally before the Beast (the antichrist) declares […]

There is a fantastic prophecy that, during the Great Tribulation, a person called “the false prophet” will construct an “image” of the world leader known as the Beast or the antichrist that will seemingly or actually come to life. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The final book of the Bible, the Revelation, predicts what the world will look like in the End Times – especially during the seven year Great Tribulation. The world will be under the rule of one government, one economic system, and one leader. A global, one-world order, is being openly pursued by many of the […]

China has developed what is called, “Social Credit.” It is a system that, quite literally, controls the participation of citizens in everyday purchases and activities. Each citizen is given a social credit score, with rewards for those who have a high rating and punishments for those with low scores. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Call it Globalization, or the One-World Government, or the New World Order – COVID19 has accelerated its progress, and made globalization desirable and possible. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The Bible predicts a future in which the world is united in a cashless system of commerce. Thus you would expect the nations of the world to be moving towards cashless economies. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Indirectly, the global response to COVID-19 does potentially have a prophetic impact. We’ve been pointing out for decades that, in the last days and then in the Great Tribulation, the world will be united in commerce. There will be some sort of digital and biometric technology by which everyone can be identified, and can conduct […]

Does COVID-19 have anything to do with Bible prophecy? Not directly; and by that I mean, it isn’t a pestilence from the Book of the Revelation. The things you read about in chapters 6-19, the Great Tribulation, are after the rapture of the church. Indirectly, the global response to the pandemic does potentially have a […]

Amazon isn’t the Beast. Technology, by itself, isn’t the Mark of the Beast. But Amazon Go certainly uses your “hand” to “buy or sell.” That sounds similar to what the apostle John saw over 2000 years ago. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

There is an intriguing passage in the Revelation about an idol, a guy we call the false prophet, and the Beast – another name of the antichrist. Apparently an image of the Beast is going to come to “life.” Could AI be part of this prophecy? (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

COVID19 is not one of the end times pestilences. Those occur during the seven year Great Tribulation. We are not in the Great Tribulation, nor will the church ever be in it. God has promised to keep us from that day. What COVID19 is doing is catapulting us forward to a “new normal,” global society […]

The Bible predicts that one day the citizens of the world would be identified by, and conduct all their business by, something in or on their forehead or their hand. The prophecy seemed ridiculous for centuries. Not anymore. There are any number of biometric technologies fully developed that could be implemented globally pretty much overnight. […]

Futurists like ourselves have long predicted that in the days leading up to the Great Tribulation, commerce would go cashless. It’s happening. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

If COVID-19 has a sinister, Satanic, spiritual purpose, it is that it is pushing the world population towards a global, digital biometric system. It is the kind of system futurists have been predicting since the apostle John wrote the Revelation. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
