There is a lot of violence going on around the world.
First, note two reports about the USA:
June 6, 2022
At least 13 people were killed and more than two dozen wounded in multiple mass shootings across the United States this weekend, …
The shootings came after a spate of mass killings …An eruption of violence in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Sunday resulted in 14 people being shot, including two killed, while another person died and two more were injured after they were struck by vehicles fleeing the scene, police chief Celeste Murphy said, adding “several” victims remained in critical condition. …In Philadelphia on Saturday, two men and a woman were killed when multiple people opened fire on a crowd at a popular South Street nightlife area. …In Saginaw, Michigan, three people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting on Sunday, WNEM reported, citing police.In Clarendon County, South Carolina, five teens and a 12-year-old were among seven people wounded in a shooting at a graduation party on Saturday that killed one adult, police said in a statement.And in Arizona, two men were killed and two other people injured after a shooting outside a Mesa bar early Sunday, authorities said. …In addition to the massacres in Texas and New York, recent weeks have seen mass shootings at a hospital in Oklahoma and a church in California. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shootings-chattanooga-philadelphia-saginaw-summerton-mesa-12-killed/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shootings-chattanooga-philadelphia-saginaw-summerton-mesa-12-killed/June 6, 2022
A Chicago police officer and a suspect are both in the hospital after a shooting in West Englewood Sunday, police said.
At last check Monday morning, the officer was in serious but stable condition. The suspect, who was also shot in Sunday’s incident, is in critical condition. …
“Offenders are brazen in harming officers. We’ve been repeatedly saying for the last 2.5 years now, offenders have shot at and shot officers at a 500% increase,” Brown said. “The highest number of officers shot at or shot on record in Chicago. His team members are all shook, as well. It’s obviously, the third time this week in Chicago an officer has been shot.” https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-officer-shot-shooting-englewood-cpd/11931838/
Notice also something that happened in Nigeria:
At least 50 people were killed and others injured Sunday when gunmen attacked worshippers at a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria, according to media reports.
A doctor at a hospital in Owo, a town in the Nigerian state of Ondo, told Reuters that no fewer than 50 bodies had been moved to the Federal Medical Center in Owo and to St. Louis Catholic Hospital.
The attack took place during a Pentecost Sunday service at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, according to Ondo’s governor, Arakunrin Akeredolu. 06/05/22 https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251458/nigeria-catholic-church-attack
Furthermore, notice something related to Kyiv:
Russian Missiles Strike Kyiv, Shattering Sense of Calm
June 6, 2022
Russia struck Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with missiles early on Sunday for the first time in more than a month, …
Dark smoke could be seen from many miles away after the attack on two outlying districts of Kyiv. Ukraine said the strike hit a rail car repair works; Moscow said it had destroyed tanks sent by Eastern European countries to Ukraine….
In … Donetsk province, Russian forces have been advancing in recent days in territory north of the Siverskiy Donets river, in advance of what Ukraine anticipates could be a push on the major city of Sloviansk. https://www.newsmax.com/headline/russia-ukraine-war/2022/06/05/id/1072974/
The “Sense of Calm,” “the peace” is being shattered in many places throughout the world.
Europe is so concerned about the loss of the sense of peace that many nations there are increasing military spending, some formerly “neutral” nations want to enter the military alliance called NATO, and there are close to seven million Ukrainian refugees.
Related to Europe taking militaristic steps, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel::

Is the European Beast Growing Horns?
Does the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have prophetic ramifications? What about Ezekiel 38? Are we seeing a ‘historic shift’ in Europe to move towards more unity? What about non-EU nations like Sweden and Switzerland? Is Germany’s announcement to double its military spending to 100 million euros a big deal? Does the Bible tell of changes coming to Europe for it to rise up as a Babylonian unity successful military power? What about the United States of America and its British-descended allies? Could USA sanctions against Russia, including SWIFT restrictions, decrease international demand for USA dollars and cause inflation? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.

Jesus warned of a time of wars, rumors of war, and famines (Matthew 24:4-8).
The Book of Revelation has the following:
3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (Revelation 6:3-4)
Consider that the opening of the second seal (Revelation 6:3-4) is to result in less peace on the Earth.
While this is commonly called the red horse (or horseman) of war, that is not quite what is stated. Notice that he “takes peace from the earth AND that people should kill one another.” Are we not seeing at least a version of that now?
Around the world people are AFRAID. The feeling of normalcy is gone for many around the globe.
Not since World War II have we seen anything affect the entire planet so much.

These Signs of the 4 Horsemen Have Begun
Are we at the time of the ride of at least some of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse? If so, are many prophecy watchers missing signs associated with them? History shows that authoritarian totalitarian regimes tend to arise after famines and/or pestilences. Those are events associated with three of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Could the beginning of sorrows, and the associated ride of the first horseman of false ecumenical religion, have started in the Fall of 2009? What is the significance of this rider having a bow? Is Satan the prince of the power of the air? Did Dr. Thiel warn of a prophetic threat of a “novel” coronavirus back in 2013? Could COVID-19 been related to the taking away the peace from the earth that is associated with the ride of the red horse, the second horsemen of war? What are some of the ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and the opening of the second seal? Was Amos inspired to write that God does nothing without revealing it to his servants the prophets? Who warned of these matters? The ride of the third horse, the black horse of famine and food price inflation–specifically wheat, barley, edible oils, and wine. Since Ukraine is a major exporter of the first three, could this, as well as fertilizer shortages, have anything to do with the ride of that horseman? The pale horse of the fourth seal mentions one-quarter of humankind being subject to being killed by the sword, hunger, and pestilence–will this be a factor in the rise of the Beast of Revelation 13? Is persecution associated with the start of the Great tribulation and the rise of the Beast? Why is the Beast going to be in charge of a European-based empire? Will the opening of the first four seals and the starts of the rides of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse get Europe to reorganize such as is prophesied in Revelation 17:12-13? What does Jesus say you should do? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more in this video.
Here is a link to our video: These Signs of the 4 Horsemen Have Begun.
Remember that Jesus said:
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)
Much is happening.
Do not be part of those who will not be ready.
