Perry Stone: 3 End Times Signs to Look For in the Coming Months
While signals of the end times are all around us, Evangelist Perry Stone says there are three specific pre-tribulation situations of which believers should be keenly aware of in the coming months.
Stone says that China’s imminent military action against its island neighbor, Taiwan, will soon escalate, and the global ripple effects from that will be major.
Secondly, the internal conflict that is happening currently in Israel, Stone says, could make that country vulnerable and open it up to military attack from primarily Muslim Middle Eastern nations around it.
In addition, Stone says a group of nations, led by China, are trying to form an economic collation to all use the Yen as their currency, one that will devalue the U.S. dollar.
Stone warns that none of these should be taken lightly and could happen at any moment.
“For years, we have been predicting, based on Scripture in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation that there is a coming tribulation period which is marked by a peace treaty—a seven-year period that is divided into two periods of 42 months,” Stone says. “Now, there is no evidence that we are in that yet, but we’re in the birth pains, which is recorded in Matthew 24:8 that all signs are taking place and the beginning of sorrows is happening. I want to alert you to these pre-tribulation signs. These are things that I see happening in the coming months. Some of it will be vey fast and some of it’s going to be very slow.”
Media outlets are reporting that China is not happy with Taiwanese Vice President William Lai’s current visit to the United States and that it has pledged to take “resolute and forceful measures” to protect its sovereignty.
Taiwan continues to “stubbornly adhere to its separatist position of its independence, and the Chinese government is condemning such actions.”
“China believes that Taiwan needs to be annexed into China. But the majority of the people, from what I have studied, are completely against coming under the thumb or the iron fist of a communist nation. There is certainly a conflict brewing with, how will China invade and when will then invade (Taiwan). I had a military man share with me the reason he believes China has not made a move yet when they very easily could have done it is that they’re watching what is happening with Ukraine and Russia, and that’s gotten stuck,” says Stone.
“China has watched the world’s reaction to that, and what they don’t want to do is stir up the world against them; boycotting their products, etc. If that would happen, then it would have a huge impact on China economically. If they invade Taiwan, it could create serious problems for China.”
The second situation Stone says believers should keep an eye on is what is happening with Israel. He says everybody that keeps up with Scripture is aware of Israel’s external enemies, but huge problems have arisen in Israel internally that could result in a “dictatorial government.”
Hundreds of pilots have reportedly said they would not fly in such a circumstance, and that could open the country up to military attack by other Middle Eastern nations. Many of those nations are referred to in the Bible, Stone says.
“The danger of that is that if the Israeli reservist military and Air Force is impacted by people who protest against the government, then you have those three or four rogue nations that could say, let’s attack,” Stone says. “We know that these nations are eventually going to have a war called the War of Gog and Magog. Could a civil conflict that affects the nation be part of what introduces them of getting hurt. Time will tell.
“We should have a concern for prayer about the internal conflict. A Scripture that keeps coming to me is that a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
The third area Stone warns about is BRICS, or a possible economic coalition between Brazil, Russia, India, China and Saudi Arabia. China, it has been reported, wants those nations to use the Chinese Yen as their currency and they are discussing a currency that would replace the U.S. dollar.
“This is over 3 billion people involved here,” Stone says. “China wants to head this up to be the economic center. They are saying that there is a possibility they would back it up by gold, so some of these nations have really been purchasing a lot of gold. The U.S. currency is not backed by anything but the Federal reserve.”
All of these situations, Stone says, will most likely happen in the next few months.
“There’s going to be a lot of activity, and I always tell believers that some things are set to happen because they are written in stone, because it’s in Scripture and it’s prophetic,” Stone says. “Some things are delayed, like the judgment of Nineveh. And, there are things that men are planning that can also be altered because through prayer. … But the main thing is, we must trust God through everything.”
