Welcome to the program. Joe Hawkins here. Now, what if everything that we see happening in the world right now isn't just random? All of the wars, the chaos, the technology, what if they're all moving in the same direction? Because what we're witnessing right now before our very eyes, this isn't just mere coincidence. This is what we call convergence. And the Bible warns about this. These are not just isolated incidents. These aren't just things that are randomly happening just out of happenstance. This is global alignment. This is a global alignment of control, of conflict, of deception and of instability. And right now, that system is forming before our very eyes. But before we go any further, just one quick announcement.

Now, the first thing that I want to talk about is wars and conflicts going on on a global scale. Now, of course, we still have what's happening in there with Russia and Ukraine, you got Afghanistan and Pakistan, they're going at each other. You're always seeing the threats of China taking over Taiwan, North Korea is always getting into something. You're seeing political instability in Africa, you're seeing gang violence going on there in Mexico, you're seeing South America instability going on there, of course, the Venezuela situation, the Colombia situation. And but at the center of it all, we have the Middle east. We have what's happening there between Israel and Iran. Now that situation right there, it was inevitable that what we see happening was going to happen, right? We see that this direct confrontation has escalated into coordinated strikes, missile retaliation, drone warfare. I mean, this isn't just a regional war. This is a shift. This is a prophetic fault line that has begun to crack And Iran is central to Bible prophecy. We know, we see Iran, there's persia in Ezekiel 38 and 39. And who are they attacking? Well, they're going after Israel. And who is Israel? Obviously Israel is the epicenter of scripture and Israel is the epicenter of Bible prophecy. And we see that going on right now, on our very, before our very eyes. Right. So. And this war isn't just contained to that particular region. It's cyber, it's economic, it's informational, and the battlefield, it's global. We're seeing implications and ramifications on a global scale due to this one single conflict. So when we see what's happening with all, all of the wars, with all the conflicts going on around the world, that pretty much verifies what Jesus told us, that there would be wars and rumors of wars. Are we not seeing that? Absolutely we are. So the next thing I want to talk to you about is the Beast System infrastructure. And we're talking about this system from Revelation 13 that's going to control the buying and the selling of the masses. Now, when we talk about the Beast System, we're talking about biometrics, digital identity, mass surveillance, centralized databases. Right? That's what we're talking about. And I have a few articles that I'm going to share with you to show you how far along this system is. So check out this article. Working for AI 15% say yes. A new poll from Quinnipiac University reveals a striking shift in workplace attitudes. 15% of Americans say they would be willing to work under an artificial intelligence supervisor. How about you? Do you want to work under an artificial intelligence supervisor? It goes on to say that this trend is often referred to as the Great Flattening. This envisions a future where companies operate with minimal human oversight, driven largely by intelligent systems. Wild, right? Check this out. Mass surveillance grows with AI tech Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming surveillance capabilities across the U. S With systems like automatic license plate readers becoming widespread in cities and towns nationwide. These AI powered tools capture vehicle data, images and timestamps, storing them in a massive searchable database that can be integrated with law enforcement systems. What once served as a limited crime fighting tool has evolved into a sophisticated network capable of tracking movement patterns, identifying individuals and monitoring activity in real time. How about this? The WHO advances global health tracking. The World Health Organization, alongside its partners, has launched a sweeping initiative to transition millions of people across Southeast Asia from paper medical records to digital health wallets. Built on the WHO's global digital health Certification Network, the system will begin with VACCINATION records, but is designed to expand into full personal health profiles, accessible, verifiable and transferable across borders. What is being presented as a convenience and modernization effort is in reality the rapid construction of a unified digital identity layer tied directly to an individual's health data. And lastly, pandemic plan expands mass tracking. The United Kingdom has unveiled a sweeping new pandemic strategy that includes plans to partner with major technology companies to track the real time location of millions of citizens. Under the proposal, agencies like UK Health Security Agency would deploy AI powered systems capable of monitoring movement patterns at scale, creating a rapid response contract tracing network for future outbreaks. Framed as preparedness, the plan treats future pandemics as inevitable and seeks to build a permanent surveillance infrastructure ready to activate at a moment's notice. Now, that was just four articles that I shared. Just four. Now we could have gone on for hours on everything that's happening in real time. I mean, every day there's new developments being made in the field of artificial intelligence. But this is going to build the beast system infrastructure that we talk about there in Revelation 13. Now the next thing I want to talk about is persecution. And as control increases, truth comes under fire. And we have countries like Canada that would have quoting Bible verses labeled as hate speech. And if you're thinking to yourself, surely not, maybe he's just misinterpreting that, maybe it doesn't really say that. Let me ask you this. If Satan had anything to do with it, do you think Satan would want quoting Bible verses labeled as hate speech? Do you think Satan would want to have the Bible banned? I certainly think that he would. And why? Well, Satan doesn't want truth to prevail. And that's exactly what Satan has been trying to do for millennia. Satan has been trying to influence generations to turn away from the truth. And this is one way that we can see this happening right now. So when the Bible is labeled as hate speech, are people going to start becoming, I guess, more scared to go out and preach the gospel message? Are they going to be afraid to put out videos because they're afraid that they may be put in jail, they may have a criminal record because they're too afraid to speak the truth? We've already seen this in some form or fashion through, you know, the last, let's say six years with the plandemic. We also have seen people get arrested outside of abortion clinics for silently praying outside of those abortion clinics. We've seen bakers being brought through the ringers, basically through legal battles for not baking cakes for LGBTQ couples. Right. We, we've seen this kind of pressure coming against us in the Christian community. And. But when we see this soft persecution that I would call it right. This kind of stuff right here, I would consider soft persecution. When we look at other areas out there, you look at places in Africa, in Asia, you look at what's going on over there, we're seeing Christians being killed. They're actually being persecuted on a violent level for their faith in Jesus Christ. Are we going to see that coming on this side of the world? I mean, I certainly believe that we will. You know, we're not appointed to God's wrath during the seven year tribulation, but that doesn't mean that we're, we're not going to see persecution on this side. We're definitely not immune to persecution. Now, personally, I would prefer for the Rapture to happen before any kind of violent persecution comes our way, but that doesn't mean that that's going to happen. My prayer is that the Rapture would happen before this video even post. But the reality is we may see hard times coming. And whenever we see bills like this in Canada, we can certainly see that hard times are probably just right around the corner. So what do we need to do? Well, we certainly need to pray up. We need to make sure that we are equipped with the full armor of God that Paul talks about there in Ephesians. You know, when we see the persecution that's going on with us Christians, let's also remember what's happening with our Jewish brothers and sisters. We see an increased level of anti Semitism that's going on on a global scale. Ever since October 7th, we've seen an exponential increase in attacks on synagogues, attacks on Jewish people individually. We've seen this, and it's continuously, you can see almost every day a new report of a Jewish person being attacked or a synagogue being attacked. It's getting to the point to where the safest place for Jews to be is in Israel. And I believe that's by divine design, in my opinion. And that's pretty insane if you think about it. A country right now that is going through a war with Iran, and you have the, the proxies there, Hezbollah, you got Hamas, you still have what's going on there in Gaza. And people around the world are like, you know, the safest place for us is Israel. And like I said, that's divine design, in my opinion. Now, I just want to briefly talk about the next one, which is going to be economic instability. You know, we've what we see happening right now with the Strait of Hormuz, it's one of the most critical checkpoints in the world. And it's, of course, it's been under threat, but. And what is the impact? Right. We're seeing oil prices surge, markets are shaken, supply chains are straining. And this is all due to one small little region in the world. And how this one small little region of the world can destabilize the entire global economy. It reveals just how fragile our economy is. And in times of instability, what do people look for? People look for solutions. And that's whenever control systems emerge. That's whenever digital currencies start getting talked about, centralized finances. You know, these are systems that can regulate. And what does that mean? That means that they can restrict and they can control. This is exactly the kind of system that Revelation describes. So I would certainly keep your eye on what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz and any of these other situations that are going on. We've talked about energy lockdowns coming, we've talked about climate lockdowns coming. Anything that could put a system in place to regulate is there to restrict and control. So keep your eyes on those. Now, the next thing I want to talk about is signs in the heavens. Now check this out. Mysterious fireballs light up the skies. A surge in fireball sightings across the US and around the world has captured widespread attention, with multiple bright meteors reported over just a few days in March 2026. From Ohio to Texas and even internationally, these fiery streaks lit up the sky, some producing sonic booms and even dropping fragments to the ground. According to data from the American Meteor Society, reports of large fireball events have significantly increased, with multiple meteorite recoveries occurring within a short time frame, an unusually rare occurrence. Scientists suggest that while improved technology such as dash cam security cameras and AI assisted reporting has contributed to the rise in sightings, it does not fully explain the larger, or excuse me, explain the spike in larger, more energetic events. Evidence points to a genuine increase in substantial meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere, with many traveling long distances and producing powerful shockwaves. And seasonal factors such as Earth's position around the spring equinox may also play a role. But researchers acknowledge that the recent clustering of significant fireballs goes beyond typical patterns. So with this increased level of meteor activity, does this have anything to do prophetically? Well, I think that it does. So think back to the birth pains. What are birth pains? Well, we're talking about something that's going to grow in intensity and grow in frequency, right? And when we think prophetically about a birth pain, we're thinking of wars and rumors of wars and natural disasters, right? These are things that we think about. And do we see those things happening right now? Have we seen an intense increase in birth pains? Right. Have we seen an increase in wars and rumors of wars? Have we seen an increase in. Of natural disasters? I mean, I certainly believe that we have. Right? So when we talk about this cosmic disturbance that we're seeing, this increased level of meteor activity, we see this also in Revelation 6, in the breaking of the sixth seal. As we lead to the breaking of that sixth seal, does it make logical sense? Does it fit the pattern that we would start seeing an increased level of cosmic disturbances leading to that time period? I certainly believe that it does. I certainly believe that what we're seeing now is we're seeing the shadows of the tribulation. And if we're seeing the birth pains growing in intensity and in frequency, I certainly believe part of that is going to be an increased level of cosmic disturbances. And not only just meteor activity, but we've seen an increased level of. Of solar activity as well. Right? We've seen massive solar flares coming our way. I think that's only going to just continue, and it's only going to get worse. So the last thing that I want to talk about today is great deception, specifically as it relates to extraterrestrial life. Now, I want to share this with you. Matt Gaetz makes out of this world claim about government secrets. Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz made a bold claim about a US Secret government program that, to be honest, many will find alienating. Literally. You like the way they did that? In an interview posted Tuesday with podcaster Benny Johnson, Gates insisted there's a secret program that's actively working to breed human alien human hybrids designed to help officials communicate with people on other worlds. This is what Matt Gaetz says. I had someone come and brief me who was in the military, in a military uniform, worked for the United States army that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breathing programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication, Gates told Johnson. And an actual uniformed member of the United States army briefed me on that. So let's just pause for a second. Alien breeding programs. I mean, I feel like I've heard this before. We're talking about aliens breeding with humans to create a hybrid race. I mean, I feel like I've read that somewhere before. That's right, Genesis 6. Right, Genesis 6. You know, when the sons of God went into the daughters of men and bred a race of giants that we call the nephilim. I mean, does it not seem like the days of Noah are upon us? I mean, does it not seem like we've entered the twilight Zone? You know, we're talking about alien breeding programs so they can engage in intergalactic communication. I mean, it seems like a sci fi movie. Do you believe that this is real? Do you think that this is really happening within our government? I mean, you know, we certainly know that this type of discussion has been happening more frequently within the halls of Congress. We know that there are government programs that are designed to investigate these things. We just had the Age of Disclosure documentary that came out recently. Steven Spielberg's coming out with a movie here soon, Disclosure Day. A lot of people are looking forward to that. I, for one, I want to check it out to see what, what, what's in it. But the, the, the key here is that what once was reserved for late night talk shows, tin full hat wears, is now being talked about like it's nothing, right? Like it's fact. I mean, is it because it is fact. Is it because we're seeing something that they really can't explain? Now, of course, you know, I take the position that what we're talking about here, I mean, we're not talking about little green men from outer space, little, you know, extraterrestrial intelligent life, you know, we're talking interdimensional, right? We're talking demonic activity. We're talking deception is what we're talking about. And I'll go back to what I, what I just said, you know, would Satan use this? Now let's think about this for a moment. Now, just like Satan has to have his guy ready to go in every generation to be the Antichrist, right? Satan also needs to have a ready to go plan, a ready to go narrative for when people disappear at the Rapture, right? So could this be one of those ways to explain away the Rapture, the vanishing of people, you know, at this event? I mean, it certainly seems plausible. It's not something that I say that is thus saith the lord, or I'm 100% on this, but it certainly seems like a plausible explanation to the Rapture. Regardless of whatever it is. Satan has to have that ready to go because he's going to be able, he wants to be able to explain to people what just happened. Oh, well, they took away all the bad people. It's us left Here now, right? Or, you know, these people were just abducted by aliens, right? There has to be some type of explanation for when that happens. And there are numerous explanations. It's not just the alien abduction theory. You know, there's theories out there where, you know, where there could be a sun, solar flare come from the sun and it hits the Earth and it disrupts the, the magnetism of the Earth and the frequency of the Earth. And if you're not vibrating at a particular frequency of the Earth, then you're just going to disintegrate. Maybe Mother Earth, maybe Gaia will purge you from this Earth because you're just not in tune with, with this Earth, right? Whatever the explanation is, which I personally believe that this one is probably the most plausible, this is the most likely explanation, especially with the amount of, of attention that it's getting, right? It seems like every day we're getting new information coming out and we're leading up to ultimate full disclosure supposedly at some point this year. So we'll see what's in it. But regardless of whatever is in it, don't be deceived. That's what Jesus warns us, right? Don't be deceived. So it's something to keep our eyes on. It's something to, it's something really interesting too, especially from somebody like myself that's a sci fi geek, you know. You know, when I see things like this happening, I'm like, oh, wow, this is, this is, this is right up my alley. But I'm also one that likes to look at things logically and look at things through analytical point of view. So, you know, keep your eyes on it. You know, you certainly want to, want to keep, keep abreast of what's going on as it relates to this, because you don't want to be caught off guard. You know, don't be like somebody that's just going to bury their head in the sand. Don't be thinking, oh, this is just crazy talk. This is legitimate conversations that are being, that are happening within our government. So you need to be aware of this. So we've talked about war, surveillance, persecution, economic instability, signs in the heavens, deceptions, the alien narrative, alien disclosure. Now each one of these is significant just by itself. But together, what do they form? Well, they form something undeniable. They form convergence. And this is not coincidence, this is alignment. The systems that are described in scripture, they don't just appear overnight. They're being built crisis by crisis, layer by layer and step by step. So this is not the tribulation but like I said earlier, we certainly see the shadows of it now. This isn't a time to fear. This is a time to be alert. This is a time to proclaim truth. Because like I said, what does Satan want? Satan does not want truth to prevail. So this is your opportunity to proclaim truth. Proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to this lost and dying world. This is your opportunity. You have an opportunity to do what you were commanded to do. To go forth and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to as many people as you possibly can while there still is time. But convergence. Convergence doesn't slow down. Convergence accelerates. So we need to make sure that we're being about the Father's business today and every day that we're still here before we're called home at the Rapture. Well, thank you for tuning in today.
