On April 27th, 2020, for the first time in history, the U.S. government not only released, but officially certified, videos showing Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) present in our skies.
The Department of Defense released U.S. Navy videos of UFOs operating in restricted military air space that occurred in 2004 and 2017. The release of these videos marked a significant turning point in the history of this phenomenon, as practically overnight these objects transitioned from the arena of urban legend to a serious national security concern.
After perhaps half a century of denials, the U.S. government had dramatically changed course regarding UFOs – which they are now designating as “Unidentified Arial Phenomena” (UAP). This moment represented a historic step forward in the process of full disclosure; which to many now appears to be well underway.
And yet, this unprecedented moment in 2020 barely had any impact at all.

The world was simply overwhelmed at that point, as Covid-19 and lockdown remained the dominant themes of the day. But these were just the latest in a long series of events that not only led up to that time, but would then continue.
The magnitude of recent events—which to many appear both Biblical and prophetic in nature—has still not been fully realized. In the midst of Global pandemic and lockdown; economic meltdown, supply chain shortages and inflation; political controversies and an ever-increasing cultural divide within the U.S. (that cause many to speculate that we are currently in a ‘cold’ civil war); we then add global locust plagues, drought, famine, and a war in the Ukraine. The rapid pace of events makes it is easy to see why many have been overwhelmed with simply trying to keep up.
I know that a Rabbi smashing a potter’s jar of judgement over our entire nation in Washington D.C. was not only widely ignored by mainstream media, but also barely registered within many local churches. But other ‘End Time’ topics have also failed to gain wider traction within the Christian community, such as Tom Horn’s predictions about the asteroid Apophis, the World Economic Forums plan for a ‘great reset’ and implementation of digital identity, the finding of a Dead Sea Scroll fragment referencing God’s judgement, or a myriad of other relevant topics. And as mentioned, the disclosure process that is underway regarding UFOs should give us pause, as we consider the implications of this phenomenon as it grows ever closer to acceptance in our day; given the Biblical account of the Nephilim in the days of Noah.
The fact of the matter is that it appears we are in a very significant seven-year window – one that began with the Great American Eclipse year of 2017 and may very well be capped by the second Great American Eclipse to occur in 2024. What may be coming not only in the near-term but also in the years after 2024 is uncertain, but what has occurred to date is astonishing. Important voices like Rabbi Jonathan Cahn have shown us that God’s judgement began to fall with the attacks of September 11th 2001. With the events of the current eclipse years, it may be that we are now receiving renewed, and perhaps final, warnings to turn from our path.
It is certainly possible that this seven-year period of warnings could result in a great End Time revival and a national return to God. We can only hope.
But, regardless, we know that a time of great darkness is coming, as the full weight of events depicted in the Book of Revelation become ever more apparent. With the urgency of the warnings of this seven-year period, it seems that we should understand that this dark future is not as far away as we would like to believe – such is the significance of this current time.
As we consider those around us who feel moved to focus on preparedness—and recall tragic events like the attacks of September 11th 2001 and Hurricane Katrina—we can see signposts warning us about the fragile nature of our existence, especially in light of the fact that as a nation we have rejected God. Yet, the purpose of this writing is not simply to urge people to prepare—although that is clearly a consideration—the point is to try and help those who have “left their first love” (Revelation 2:4).
In the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-12) we see the church depicted as ten virgins who are awaiting the coming of the bridegroom, which represents the return of Jesus. And we see the long delay of Christ in coming for His church, such that all ten virgins fall asleep as they wait. Yet, even with this delay, five of the virgins still remain ready for His return. At the cry of his approach, these five trim their lamps and go out to meet him. The other five, however, have not been vigilant and do not have oil for their lamps and cannot go out to meet the bridegroom. And so, the door is shut to them, and Jesus rebukes them with this statement: “I do not know you.”
Jesus leaves us with this admonishment: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matthew 25:13). It is the premise of this writing that it is well past time for us to watch and begin paying close attention to the signs occurring all around us.
The material covered in these pages goes far afield – ranging from locusts, droughts, famine and pandemic to artificial intelligence, digital identity, UFOs, the asteroid Apophis, and CERN & the Hadron collider. These diverse topics have commonality at their core, in that they all represent steps along the path that take us ever further into the Book of Revelation. In the coming weeks and months, these are just some of the specific areas we will explore more in depth:
- The appearance of the last days Elijah the Prophet.
- The possibility that a catastrophic global famine is on the horizon.
- The Biblical implications of the anticipated coming full disclosure regarding the UFO phenomenon.
- The likelihood that the ‘Woman Clothed with the Sun’ sign from Revelation 12 has occurred.
- The completed preparations for the building of the Third Jewish Temple.
- The World Economic Forums plan for a Great Reset, the implementation of digital IDs and digital currency, and the road to the mark of the beast.
- The sudden rise of prophetic voices and a look at the predicted final great revival.
- The possible Biblical descriptions of technology, including Artificial Intelligence, drones, robotic weaponry, and the use of nuclear weapons.
- The potential implications of the experiments currently underway using the Hadron Collider.
- Charles Hapgood’s theory of pole shift, the asteroid Apophis, and NASA’s first test of a planetary defense mission in the context of Revelation chapters 6 to 8.
- Turkey’s efforts to restore the Islamic Caliphate in the context of the coming Islamic Mahdi.

As we look at the events of recent years, the hope is that it helps us defeat the notion that all things are just continuing as they always have, and that they day of the Lord is fast approaching:
2 Peter 3:3-10: “…knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
This series is called ‘Caves in The Rock’ and will focus on an examination of key moments that appear to be milestones in the timeline of End Time events. As we discuss these noteworthy events and attempt to see the progress and potential future intersection of current trends, we will examine whether the seals of Revelation are now in progress, and if it is possible that today we may actually be sitting on the doorstep of Revelation 6:7 and the opening of the Fourth Seal, as the threat of hunger appears around the world.
We begin with a look at an event that the Bible describes with this one key phrase: “…and every mountain and island was removed from its place” (Revelation 6:14).
