Jesus Reveals What’s to Come July 11-18… Adults Are Not Prepared

In June of 2026, pay attention to the details, the total public debt of the United States government exceeded for the first time the figure of 37 trillion dollars, that is, approximately four times the combined annual gross domestic product of all the nations of Latin America together. That figure, and this is important to note, has accumulated over the last seven decades of American history and is currently growing at a rate of approximately one trillion additional dollars every 100 days.  That specific rate of

debt growth, pay attention to the detail, has no known historical precedent in any other documented civilization and coincides, pay additional attention, with one of the seven specific signs that the prophetic tradition preserved in the Ethiopian Bible identifies as characteristic of the closing of the present era.

  I’m going to share those seven specific signs with you over the next few minutes.  I’m not going to give you dates.  I’m not going to tell you to move from anywhere.  I’m not going to tell you to sell anything.  I’m not going to tell you to abandon anything.  All of that would be enormously irresponsible.  What I am going to do, pay attention to the details, is identify seven patterns observable right now in the contemporary world that the oldest prophetic texts of Christianity described with astonishing accuracy more than 2000

years ago.  Patterns that are manifesting simultaneously for the first time in history.  Patterns that the Ethiopian monastic tradition, preserved for 1600 years without Roman influence, has been pointing out in its internal commentaries for generations and patterns that now, additional attention, are finally accessible to anyone who wants to examine them with intellectual honesty.

  This video is not sensationalism, it is not selling apocalyptic dates, it is not a specific prediction of concrete events, it is a systematic identification of recurring historical patterns that ancient texts described and that we can now compare with what is happening around us to determine for ourselves what degree of coincidence we observe.

  What you do with the information, attention to detail, is up to you.  I simply put the material on the table.  I’ll start with the first sign.  The first prophetic sign, pay attention to the detail, is the statue described by the prophet Daniel in the second chapter of his book.  That statue, pay additional attention, appears in a dream sent to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and represents the succession of human empires that will rule the world until the close of the present era.

  The statue has a head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron and feet made of a mixture of iron and baked clay. Each material represents a specific imperial era, and serious contemporary scholars are progressively identifying each material with verifiable historical empires.

   It is important that you know what the text specifically says about feet made of iron and clay.  The prophet Daniel, paying attention to detail, explains that that final part of the statue represents an empire of divided nature.  On the one hand, as strong as iron, with extraordinary military and technological capabilities; on the other hand, as fragile as baked clay, with enormously severe internal social and cultural fragmentation .

  The text is extremely specific.  He says that that final empire will be characterized by a permanent tension between its external strength and its internal fragility, and that this tension will be, additional attention, precisely the characteristic sign of the closing of the human imperial era.  Read it again. Extraordinary military and technological strength combined with severe social and cultural fragmentation.

  Do you recognize that description?  In which contemporary empire do you recognize her? Serious contemporary scholars, paying attention to detail, point out that the coincidence with the United States of America is remarkably accurate.  A dominant global military force, unprecedented technological power and, simultaneously, an increasingly severe internal social polarization .

  Irreconcilable ideological divisions , accelerated community fragmentation, and a progressive loss of the social cohesion that characterized the country during the 20th century. I am not predicting the specific downfall of any particular nation.  I am pointing out that the pattern described by Daniel 25 centuries ago coincides remarkably with what we are observing now, and that this coincidence deserves careful attention from anyone interested in understanding their own time.

  You should also consider a very specific detail in the text of Daniel.  The prophet, pay additional attention, points out that the characteristic fragmentation of the mixed feet of iron and clay will not only be political, it will be, pay attention to the detail, specifically cultural.  The text literally says that that final empire will be characterized by the fact that the peoples will not unite with one another.

  That specific description, with additional attention, is enormously revealing, applied to the contemporary context, because it describes with astonishing accuracy the phenomenon of cultural fragmentation that we have been observing over the last two decades.  People who live in the same country, who speak the same language, who apparently share the same nationality, and yet—pay attention to the detail—increasingly live in separate information bubbles, consume different media, hold incompatible versions of the same historical events, and are unable to have

meaningful conversations with people who do not share their own ideological assumptions. That specific cultural fragmentation , further note, is enormously unusual within the historical arc of civilizations. Previous empires were characterized by having dominant shared cultures that unified their internal populations.

  That cultural unification, that attention to detail, was precisely one of the factors that sustained the internal stability of the empire.  When cultural unification is lost, according to the general historical pattern, imperial stability erodes rapidly, and that erosion, it should be noted, is exactly what the text of Daniel identifies as a specific characteristic of the final empire.

  And that’s exactly what we’re observing now.  Let’s move on to the second sign. The second prophetic sign, pay attention to the detail, appears in the seventh chapter of the same book of Daniel and describes four beasts that emerge from the sea.  Each beast represents a specific empire, and from the fourth beast, pay additional attention, emerges a small horn that grows larger than the other 10 horns that also appear on its head.

  That small horn, according to ancient interpretive tradition, represents a specific power that emerges within the dominant imperial system and gradually concentrates within itself a disproportionate power compared to the other powers with which it coexists. Serious contemporary scholars, paying attention to detail, point out that the pattern of the small horn, which grows larger than the others, coincides strikingly with the contemporary concentration of technological power in a vastly reduced number of specific corporations.  Seven

specific technology corporations, of particular note, currently hold approximately 25% of the global stock market value.  These seven corporations have information processing capabilities, communications surveillance capabilities, and public perception influence capabilities that no previous historical empire ever possessed.

  And that specific concentration of power, that attention to detail, has occurred during the last 20 years, precisely in the period that multiple ancient prophetic traditions had identified as characteristic of the closing of the era.  You should delve deeper into the specific details of the small horn. The text of Daniel, pay additional attention, says that that horn has eyes like a man’s and a mouth that speaks great things.

  That specific description is enormously revealing. The eyes, like those of a man, suggest advanced perceptual abilities.  The mouth that speaks great things suggests the ability to communicate massively with huge audiences, and both of these capabilities combined, along with attention to detail, describe with astonishing accuracy the core characteristics of contemporary technological platforms.

Contemporary platforms have perceptual capabilities that no historical human eye ever possessed.  They can simultaneously observe billions of human conversations. They can analyze behavioral patterns that no individual observer could detect and can predict with astonishing accuracy the future decisions of specific people, based on accumulated data about their past behaviors.

Those capabilities, that extra attention, are literally eyes like a man’s, but greatly amplified.  Eyes that see on a scale that only God previously saw.  Eyes that record every human movement at every moment of the day.  And these same platforms, with attention to detail, have unprecedented capacity for mass communication .

  They can speak simultaneously with billions of human beings.  They can tailor their messages specifically for each individual recipient and can influence the collective perceptions of entire populations through editorial decisions made by a very small number of people.  It is exactly the mouth that speaks great things, described by Daniel 25 centuries ago.  Before continuing, a pause.

If you’ve made it this far, let me know in the comments.  Write the word patterns, that’s all.  And subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already, because what follows connects directly with texts preserved only in the Ethiopian Bible.  Texts that almost no Western Christian has read and that contain enormously specific information about the signs we are reviewing.  Let’s continue.

  The third prophetic sign, pay attention to detail, appears in the fourth book of Esdras, preserved only in the Ethiopian Bible of 81 books and in ancient Catholic Bibles as apocryphal material.  The fourth book of Esdras in the eleventh and twelfth chapters describes a very specific vision.  The prophet Ezra sees an eagle with three heads and 12 wings emerge from the sea.

  That eagle, and this is an additional point of interest, is interpreted by the text itself as representing a specific empire characterized by the symbol of the eagle, which will exist during the final period of human history and will govern vast regions of the world before its final transformation.  You should consider what this means.

  The eagle symbol, attention to detail, is hugely distinctive.  It is the official symbol of the United States of America.  It appears on the national coat of arms, on currency, on military insignia, and on official documents.  The coincidence between the eagle described in the fourth book of Esdras and the dominant Contemporary Empire , further note, is one of the interpretive convergences that has most occupied serious contemporary scholars of ancient apocalyptic literature.

  And that’s no minor coincidence.  The fourth book of Esdras was written toward the end of the first century AD, that is, approximately 1700 years before the founding of the United States.  Its authors could not have known that there would later be an empire characterized precisely by the symbol of the eagle, and yet they described it with astonishing accuracy.

  It is worth adding a highly revealing detail about the three heads of the eagle described in the text.  Serious contemporary scholars have observed that the three heads could represent the three branches of American political power . executive power, legislative power, and judicial power.  That tripartite structure, additional attention, is enormously distinctive.

  It appears formally institutionalized for the first time in the 17th-century American Constitution and remains the fundamental structural feature of the political system of that contemporary empire. That coincidence between the three heads described by the ancient prophet and the three branches of the American government, pay attention to the detail, could not have been known by the author of the fourth book of Esdras by natural means.

  He lived 17 centuries before the founding of the constitutional system he describes, and yet, pay additional attention, the specific structural match is remarkably accurate.  Add to this that the text also describes 12 wings of the eagle.  Those 12 wings, according to ancient interpretive tradition, could represent the successive administrative periods of the empire.

  And here too the coincidence is remarkable. The contemporary empire, characterized by the eagle and attention to detail, is politically structured through successive administrative periods of fixed length.  Each presidential administration has a predetermined duration, and the succession of successive administrations is exactly what the 12 wings of the eagle represent, according to the most serious commentators.  Let’s continue.

  The fourth prophetic sign, attention to detail, appears in the book of Revelation, chapter 18. In the description of the fall of commercial Babylon, the text is enormously specific.  Describe a global city characterized by its extraordinary accumulation of material wealth, its commercial influence that spans all nations, its dominance in world markets, and its unprecedented luxury .

  The text adds, as an additional note, that that global city falls in one hour.  That specific expression, attention to detail, is enormously revealing.   This means the fall will not be gradual. It will happen with enormous speed in an extraordinarily short period of time compared to the centuries that the city will have ruled the world.

Serious contemporary scholars have pointed out that the description of commercial Babylon coincides strikingly with the contemporary characteristics of the integrated global financial system.  The total interconnection of global markets, and the additional attention to this, means that any significant crisis in a major financial center is transmitted to the rest of the system within hours.

  The expression “in one hour” that appears in the ancient text, ” attention to detail,” describes with astonishing accuracy the characteristic speed of propagation of the integrated contemporary financial system. That coincidence between the ancient description and the observable contemporary structure, additional attention, is extremely difficult to explain as pure literary coincidence.

  It is worth adding specific details from the text of Revelation, chapter 18, which are enormously revealing.  The text lists 28 specific goods that Babylon traded globally before its fall.  The list includes gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, silk, purple, scarlet, cedar wood, ivory objects, precious wood objects, bronze, iron, marble, cinnamon, aromatic spices, perfumes, incense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and finally, attention to detail.

  Bodies and souls of men.  Those last two categories, bodies and souls of men, pay extra attention, are enormously revealing.  They literally describe human trafficking.  And that traffic, pay attention to the detail, exists today on a larger scale than at any previous time in human history. Contemporary human trafficking affects tens of millions of human beings annually and functions as a parallel economy integrated within the global financial system.

  That specific characteristic described by the ancient text, additional attention, was not a metaphorical description, it was a literal description and it matches with astonishing accuracy the observable contemporary structures.  The text also adds that this global commercial empire seduced all nations through its merchandise and that its merchants were the magnates of the Earth.

  That description, attention to detail, corresponds exactly to the contemporary phenomenon in which a hugely small number of private individuals accumulate personal wealth greater than the annual gross domestic product of entire countries. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few dozen specific individuals, and this is an additional point of interest, has no historical precedent and coincides precisely with the characterization that the ancient text makes of commercial Babylon.

  Let’s move on to the fifth sign.  The fifth prophetic sign, pay attention to the detail, appears in the first book of Enoch, chapters 85 to 90. In the vision of the animals, which I already mentioned before on this channel, the text describes four birds of prey that appear during the final period of human history: eagles, vultures, hawks, and ravens.

  Those four birds, pay additional attention, represent, according to ancient interpretive tradition , four specific types of world powers active simultaneously during the closing of the era.  Eagles traditionally represent dominant empires with vast geographical reach.  Vultures represent opportunistic powers that profit from the suffering of others.

  The halons represent the forces of military speed and rapid execution, and the ravens represent the collective intelligences that observe, memorize, and transmit information between generations. Read it again.  Four world powers active simultaneously, each with specific characteristics. Serious contemporary scholars, paying attention to detail, have observed that that description coincides astonishingly with the current geopolitical configuration: a dominant empire with the symbol of the eagle, minor opportunistic powers that systematically benefit from other people’s conflicts,

specific military forces characterized by the speed and precision of their operations, and collective intelligence systems based on the massive processing of information about human populations. The convergence between Enoch’s description from 2500 years ago and the configuration observable now, pay additional attention, is one of the most striking interpretive coincidences in all of ancient prophetic literature.

   Let’s continue. The sixth prophetic sign, pay attention to the detail, appears in the book of jubilees, chapter 23, preserved only in the Ethiopian Bible.  The text describes with enormous precision the characteristics of the final generation before the end of the era.  And the characteristics are extremely specific.

   I’m going to list them with you because it’s important that you know them.  First characteristic, children will no longer honor their parents as the previous generation and intergenerational relationships will be profoundly altered with respect to traditional patterns. Secondly, the elderly will be forgotten and displaced to the margins of society.

  Their wisdom, accumulated over generations, will no longer be recognized as valuable by subsequent generations.  Third characteristic.  Life will be significantly shortened  compared to previous generations due to specific factors that the text associates with the corruption of the natural environment and with specific transformations of everyday human behavior .

  Fourth characteristic: marriage pacts will be broken with enormous frequency. Traditional family stability will cease to be the norm, and family structures will progressively fragment over successive generations.  Fifth characteristic.  The truth will be systematically relativized. People will give different versions of the same event simultaneously, and the minimal agreement on shared reality will gradually dissolve.

Sixth characteristic.  There will be a significant increase in regional military conflicts without reaching a single global conflict, but with a sustained presence of localized low and medium intensity wars over prolonged periods. Seventh feature, and this one is hugely important.  Humanity will have access to vastly advanced technical knowledge that the previous generation did not possess and that the previous generation would consider, additional attention, virtually indistinguishable from magic.  Read it again.  Seven

specific characteristics of the final generation, each with concrete content.  How many of the seven characteristics do you currently recognize in the world around you?  That question, pay attention to the detail, is enormously revealing and deserves your time before answering it.   It is important that I give you some specific, verifiable data for each of the seven characteristics, because they are extremely important.

Regarding the first characteristic, intergenerational relationships. Contemporary sociological studies document that regular communication between parents and adult children has decreased significantly over the past four decades and that the average geographical distance between family generations has steadily increased.

Many adult children, an additional concern, now live more than 1000 km away from their parents.  a pattern that was enormously unusual in any previous historical period.  Regarding the second characteristic, the displacement of the elderly.  Contemporary demographic studies document that rates of social isolation in older people have reached unprecedented historical levels.

  Approximately 30% of people over 65 in Western countries, with attention to detail, report feeling significant social isolation.  That figure was vastly lower in previous generations.  Regarding the third characteristic, the shortening of life.  Recent demographic data show that life expectancy in several Western countries has begun to decline for the first time in more than a century.

  The United States has seen specific reductions in life expectancy during the last few years, and other Western countries show similar trends. Regarding the fourth characteristic, marriage pacts. Divorce rates in Western countries have exceeded 50% over the past few decades, and marriage rates have declined significantly. A pattern, an additional attention that was enormously unusual in any previous historical period.

  Regarding the fifth characteristic, the relativization of truth.  Contemporary studies on truth perception show that people exposed to the same sources of information can hold incompatible versions of the same verifiable events.  This phenomenon, pay attention to detail, has been systematically documented over the past two decades by multiple independent researchers.

  Regarding the sixth characteristic, sustained regional conflicts. Contemporary military data documents more than 25 armed conflicts active simultaneously in the world today, a number vastly greater than the usual historical number and with a sustained presence over extended periods.  Regarding the seventh characteristic, technical knowledge indistinguishable from magic.

  A contemporary mobile phone , mind you, would literally fall into the category of magic, according to any reasonable definition that a person from the 20th century would have used. Instant communication with anyone on the planet, instant access to the entire library of humanity, ability to identify any song by listening to it for 3 seconds.

All of that would literally be magic to anyone from a generation prior to the 1980s. Read it again.  The seven elements that Jubilees 23 identifies as characteristics of the final generation are all being fulfilled simultaneously now with verifiable data, with contemporary studies that confirm it and with astonishing accuracy with respect to the specific descriptions of the ancient text.

  Let’s move on to the seventh and final sign.  The seventh prophetic sign, attention to detail, appears in multiple texts simultaneously and consists of the widespread discovery of ancient spiritual knowledge that had been hidden for centuries.  The ancient prophets, it should be noted , consistently described that towards the close of the age, spiritual material, which had been kept from popular knowledge for centuries, would finally become accessible again, and that this specific recovery of ancient spiritual knowledge would itself be one of the characteristic signs of the

specific historical moment. Ethiopian texts describe this with astonishing accuracy.  The first book of Enoch, chapter 48, verse 1, literally says that in those days the fountain of wisdom will be opened and all the thirsty will be able to drink from it.  The book of the prophet Daniel, chapter 12, verse 4, specifically says that in the time of the end, knowledge will spread from one place to another and multiply.

  And the book of Revelation, chapter 22, describes the final culmination of the process. You should consider what this means.  The massive digitization of ancient manuscripts that were buried for centuries in remote monasteries.  Attention to detail is a phenomenon specific to the last two decades. Nothing like this had ever happened before in history.

  The Ethiopian Bible of 81 books, additional attention.  which was virtually inaccessible to Western audiences for 1600 years.  It is now available to anyone with an internet connection.  The GZ manuscripts that were copied by hand at the Debre Damo monastery can now be read by anyone interested. This contemporary openness to ancient spiritual knowledge, this attention to detail, coincides precisely with what the prophetic texts themselves described as characteristic of the closing of the era.

  The coincidence, and this is an additional point of interest, is highly self-referential. Ancient texts foretold their own future mass dissemination, and that dissemination is happening now before our very eyes.  At the same time that the other characteristics of the closing of the era are also observably manifesting themselves, it is worth considering the specific detail of this seventh sign, because it is enormously different from the previous six.

  The first six signs are external signs observable in the political, economic, and social structures of contemporary civilization.  The seventh sign, attention to detail, is an internal sign.  It is a specifically spiritual sign and its fulfillment requires that contemporary people actually access the ancient knowledge that is being unearthed.

In other words, and this is an additional point, the fact that you are listening to this video now, learning about ancient texts that until a few years ago were practically inaccessible to Western audiences, is literally part of the fulfillment of the seventh prophetic sign.  The emergence of ancient knowledge to global audiences, attention to detail, is not a secondary consequence of prophetic fulfillment.

   It is itself one of the specific signs of the closing of the era.  And you, by paying attention to this material, additional attention, are an active part of the fulfillment of that ancient prophecy. That, attention to detail, should not produce panic in you, [music] should produce gratitude and also responsibility.

  Gratitude for having access to information that no previous generation could have with the ease with which we have it, and responsibility to share that knowledge with other people who can benefit from it in the specific time that has been granted to us.  Let’s move on to the closing. Now it is appropriate to honestly integrate everything we have reviewed and consider what we can conclude from this cumulative evidence.

The seven signs we have identified, pay attention to the detail, have some specific characteristics in common.   They all appear in verifiable ancient texts .  They were all written more than 2000 years ago.  They all describe specific characteristics that their authors could not have known through natural methods, and all of them, as an added note, coincide remarkably with patterns observable right now in the contemporary world.

This convergence between multiple independent prophetic sources, attention to detail, is extremely difficult to explain as pure literary coincidence.  The mathematical probabilities of seven independent, specific predictions simultaneously matching seven current observable patterns, by pure chance, are extremely low.

  And that low probability, that extra attention, is exactly what makes the accumulating evidence worthy of careful attention from any serious person.  I am not stating with absolute certainty that we are living through the exact closing of the era described by ancient texts.  I am not a prophet.

  I do not have the ability to accurately determine the exact historical moment in which we find ourselves. What I can say for sure, and I want to emphasize this point, is that the correlation between ancient descriptions and current observable patterns is remarkably strong and deserves to be taken seriously.  What do you do with this information? It’s your business, and this is where you should consider three practical guidelines.

  First guideline: live with inner integrity.  Regardless of how long the present era lasts, extra attention is needed.  The most important thing for you as an individual is to cultivate your inner life.  Daily prayer, reading ancient texts, contemplative silence, constant attention to your own heart.  These practices prepare you for any historical moment, whether ordinary times or extraordinary times.

Second orientation, strengthen close family ties.  The people most affected by any kind of turbulence are always isolated people, those who do not have genuine ties with family, close friends, or significant neighbors.  These bonds are not built in times of crisis, they are built with time, with patience, with daily attention.

Invest in them now.  Third orientation.  Cultivate spiritual discernment.  Do not uncritically accept official narratives.  Do not uncritically reject official narratives. Learn to distinguish in each case what is legitimate and what is not.  This ability is not acquired through information; it is acquired through sustained contact with sources of profound wisdom, with ancient texts, with established traditions, with personal spiritual practices.

Fourth guideline: share what you have learned with others who may benefit.  Ancient wisdom was not preserved for 16 years to remain locked away in remote monasteries.  It was preserved precisely for historical moments like the present, when many people need specific guidance and do not know where to find it.

  If you have access to this material, pay attention to detail, you also have a specific responsibility to share it with those who may benefit from it.  Fifth orientation.  Live without panic.  Ancient prophetic texts were not written to frighten people, they were written to prepare them.  And proper preparation is not about panic, it’s about serenity, confidence, and cultivated closeness to the transcendent.

  Those who live in that proximity, with added attention, weather any historical turbulence with sustained inner peace.  Those who live without that closeness suffer any small disturbance with disproportionate anxiety. Sixth orientation.  Take care of your body wisely.  Times of historical turbulence require healthy bodies capable of sustaining the necessary activity.

  It’s not about obsessive diets or compulsive exercise.  It’s about maintaining basic habits of regular sleep, a balanced diet, and moderate physical activity.  Those habits, that attention to detail, build the physical foundation upon which the spiritual life can fully develop during demanding periods. Seventh orientation.

Gradually simplify your material life.  It’s not about giving up anything all at once.  The aim is to gradually reduce dependence on unnecessary material goods .  That gradual reduction, that extra attention, frees you internally and prepares you for possible periods of scarcity without generating disproportionate anxiety.

  Inner freedom from material things, attention to detail, is one of the most important spiritual achievements a human being can attain during their life. I want to end with a hugely important personal observation.  The seven signs we have reviewed today, pay attention to the details, should not produce fear in you, they should produce gratitude in you.

  Gratitude for living in a specific historical moment in which ancient wisdom is finally accessible to us.  Gratitude for having the opportunity to learn about this material that previous generations were unable to experience.  Gratitude for being able to make concrete inner decisions with full knowledge of the facts, and gratitude for being part of a specific generation that will likely witness significant transformations of contemporary human structures.

Those transformations, it should be noted , are not a tragedy.  They are part of the historical process that ancient texts described as necessary for the establishment of a human order radically different from the one we have known during the last few centuries.  And that different order, with attention to detail, according to ancient texts, will be vastly better than the present order, not immediately.

  There will be difficult transitions, there will be complicated times, there will be significant material losses for many people. But at the end of the process—and this is important to note— humanity will emerge into a new stage, vastly more conscious, vastly more connected to the transcendent, and vastly more just than the present stage.

  That ultimate hope, that attention to detail, is what has sustained the Ethiopian monastic tradition throughout its history, and it is what can sustain you too if you learn to live within it.  If what you ‘ve heard today has resonated with you, let me know in the comments.  No personal details if you don’t want them.

  It’s just the recognition that something has moved.  This helps others who will see the video later to know that they are not alone in this process of reconsideration. Share this video with someone you know who needs to hear it.  Someone who feels that something is changing in the world, but doesn’t know how to name it.

Someone who needs to be reminded that ancient Christian tradition offers vastly richer and more comforting interpretive frameworks than contemporary simplified versions. Subscribe to the channel if you want to learn more.  Here you will find 50 years of honest, unsensationalist research applied to the deepest questions about our historical moment and about the ancient traditions that can help us navigate it with serenity.

Next week I will delve deeper into another aspect connected to this one.  I will specifically address what the Book of Enoch describes regarding the final restoration of creation.  after the closing of the present era and the amazing descriptions that the text offers about the specific conditions of the new era.

  It is an enormously important topic and one that is rarely treated rigorously in contemporary literature.  But for now, tonight, before going to sleep, take a few minutes to consider the following.  The seven signs we have reviewed today are all observably manifesting at the same time.  for the first time in documented human history .  That simultaneous convergence, that attention to detail, shouldn’t cause you to panic.

  It should produce in you the specific determination to live with inner integrity for the time that is granted to you. Cultivate your inner life, strengthen close bonds, cultivate spiritual discernment, share wisdom with those who can benefit, and live without disproportionate anxiety. That attitude, that extra attention, is exactly the attitude that the Ethiopian monastic tradition has maintained for 16 years in the face of every historical crisis it has gone through.
