DryWind 2005 – 2022: Signs of the Return

I created DryWind.net back in 2005 to track geo-political and spiritual trends. While I knew prophetic trends were likely to increase in time, I had no idea they would be increasing so quickly. Now, looking back nearly twenty years later, it is truly sobering to see where we are.

However, I should not have been surprised. We are watching birth pangs! As mothers can attest, before the birth of a child draws near, contraction pains become more frequent and intense. So how does this relate to these geo-political and spiritual trends?

Two thousand years ago, before Jesus went to the cross to pay the penalty for our sin, his disciples asked him a question, “What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3). Jesus said that these signs that would come upon the world like a mother’s birth pangs as we get closer to His second coming.

While some would look at these trends and become frightened or depressed, these trends provide great hope if you’ve put your faith in Christ.

National Division and War

It pains me to see the United States more divided that it has ever been, in many ways even more than the Civil War of the 1860s. However, it is not only the United States that this seeing division, but the entire world, amplified by the Covid 19 pandemic and the resultant government overreach and mismanagement. But ultimately the reason for these division is a departure from God. Western culture has long left the God of the Bible in favor of self-centered materialism and nihilism and this spiritual vacuum is filled by destructive ideologies and culturally suicidal beliefs.

Two thousand years ago Christ looked to His future second coming and told his disciples one sign would that “nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” The word for nation is ethnos from which came the modern term “ethnic group.” Within nations the conflicts of one people group against another are deepening.

This division runs contrary to God’s way, who through Christ welcomes all people to His Grace equally, no matter race, gender, ethnicity or economic status. The stark contrast between the peaceful righteousness of God and the sinful division of the world-system is waking many up to the truth of sin, and the forgiveness and hope of Christ.

Increase in Lawlessness

I have been writing about the growth of lawlessness and violence for these past decades, but the last few years we’ve seen a logarithmic growth, manifested by the coordinated and orchestrated unrest of the misnamed Black Lives Matter and the anarchist, racist “Antifa” terrorists who plague urban areas across not just the United States, but many western nations.

Compounding this lawlessness is a lack of leadership at all levels of society, from federal, state, and local government to the woke boardrooms of Wall Street, who placate and promote racist groupthink driven by leftist thuggery and blackmail.

Jesus’s own words encourage us to see this growing lawlessness as sign of His return.

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Matthew 24:12-14 NKJV

Increase in Antisemitism

While all racism is evil, Antisemitism’s particular brand of racial hatred is so dark, it reveals a direct Satanic source. For example, during World War 2, the Nazi effort to exterminate Jews had the highest priority, even when Germany was losing the war.

Why the Jews? There is an irrational hatred of Jews over the millennia that points to the powers of darkness and their desired to destroy the people from which the Messiah Jesus Christ came.

Antisemitism has been around for thousands of years, but the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1949 was a catalyst for a new brand of Antisemitism in the 21st century that is institutionalized in churches, mosques, universities, and trans-national organizations like the United Nations. Antisemitism, that after the Holocaust of World War 2 was roundly condemned, is now once again on the rise.

Increase in Unexplained UFO and Paranormal Phenomena

While the subject of UFOs is full of kooks and hoaxes, there are a significant percentage of sightings by reliable, trained observers that cannot be explained. By definition this unexplained phenomena is supernatural; it manifests in ways that defy physics and appear to be trans-dimensional.

Since 2005, UFOs gone from a fringe “X-Files” subject to a core part of the news. In 2017 the New York Times published an earth shattering series of stories on U.S. Military encounters with UFOs that continue to this day. Respected Navy pilots and officers came forth to verify these encounters with sensor and video footage that the Pentagon verified as authentic. With this revelation, the U.S. Congress is mandating new studies into this phenomena.

I believe a great deception is coming. It is very possible some truly unexplained UFOs are not “ETs” but rather terrestrial manifestations of extremely malevolent, highly advanced, multidimensional entities called fallen angels. As we approach the prophetic events predicted by the Bible, these arch-enemies of Jesus Christ are going to do everything in their power, which is considerable, to deceive people away from believing in God and salvation through Christ.

There is Hope!

While it’s easy to look at any one of these signs and either react with fear or despair, Christ reminds us:

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Luke 21:28 NKJV

For those who simply ask Christ for forgiveness trust in in Him as their savior, these signs are actually an encouragement. No person knows the exact time when Christ will return, but we can see the would is going exactly the way He said it would. So keep reading, as I’m certain as the years go by you’ll see even more Signs of His Return.
