The Signs of the Times and the Rise of Understanding

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening around the world lately, you’ve probably felt it too — something deep is shifting. The times and seasons are speaking louder than ever. Everywhere you look, there’s war, unrest, confusion, and talk of more to come. It’s hard not to notice how closely this echoes what Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24: “You will hear of wars and rumours of wars… but the end is not yet.”

It almost feels like we’re living through the closing chapters of one age and standing at the edge of another. Maybe this is what Scripture calls “the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4). Perhaps we’re moving toward what we might describe as a new dimension of existence: the realm of eternity itself.

However here’s the thing: not everyone sees it. Most people are caught up in the noise — politics, economic struggle, social media debates, and the daily hustle. All over the world, young people are rising up, frustrated by systems that no longer seem to work. Governments are shaking, economies are uncertain, and nations are restless. Could this just be the influence of worldly powers? Maybe. Or maybe it’s something deeper — what God described in Hebrews 12:26: “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

In the middle of all this chaos, there’s hope. The Bible speaks about the sons of Issachar, those who “understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). That same kind of discernment still exists today. There are people who see beyond the headlines, who recognize that creation itself is crying out for something greater — “the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19).

These are the ones who are waking up spiritually. They are responding to that call: rising in faith, refusing to be moved by fear. Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). That doesn’t mean physical aggression; it’s about spiritual boldness: the courage to take back the authority and dominion God originally gave humanity in Genesis 1:26.

What we’re seeing in the world isn’t just chaos but rather a birthing. Positioned men are bringing forth. The shaking is revealing who truly understands the times. Those who walk in spiritual insight are not panicking; they’re preparing. They know that behind all the turbulence, God is positioning His people for something greater.

It is written, “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14).

The call is simple rise up, take it by force and manifest that which is with in. Creation is crying out.
