The Great Pause: A Divine Reprieve Before the Storm Returns

A Prophetic Call to Prepare Before the Antichrist’s System is Revealed

Throughout history, there have been moments when God has granted a pause—a divine reprieve before a great shaking. These pauses are not times of comfort for celebration; they are windows of mercy designed to awaken, strengthen, and prepare His people before the next wave of events unfolds.

Right now, the world is in such a pause. It is a brief moment of restraint in the march toward global control, a divinely appointed delay before the full rise of the Antichrist’s system. This is not a permanent reversal but a short-lived opportunity to prepare for what is coming next.

The question is, will we use this time wisely, or will we fall into the same complacency that led to destruction in past generations?

The Biblical Pattern of Divine Pauses Before Judgment

Throughout Scripture, God has granted temporary reprieves before times of judgment, warning His people to use those moments wisely.

1. The Days of Noah – Before the flood came, God gave Noah 120 years to prepare and for the people to repent. They refused, and the flood swept them away (Genesis 6:3).

2. The Exodus from Egypt – God gave Pharaoh multiple chances to release Israel, and each time, Pharaoh resisted. Eventually, judgment fell (Exodus 7-12).

3. Josiah’s Reformation – The judgment on Judah was delayed because King Josiah led a national return to God, but after his death, Babylon’s invasion came (2 Kings 22-23).

4. Nineveh’s Reprieve – When Jonah warned Nineveh, the city repented, and God delayed their destruction. However, a later generation returned to wickedness, and Nineveh was ultimately judged (Jonah 3).

5. The 400 Years of Silence – Between Malachi and the arrival of Jesus, there was a prophetic pause. It was a time of waiting, testing, and spiritual preparation before the Messiah came (Galatians 4:4).

Each of these moments was a divine delay before a greater event. Some heeded the warning. Others ignored it and were destroyed.

Now, we are standing in another Great Pause.

President Trump and the Pause Before Judgment

The Bible states in Daniel 2:21, “He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings.” Whether one agrees with President Trump’s policies or not, it is undeniable that his time in office was a disruption to the world’s system.

For years, America was racing toward destruction. Policies were enacted that openly defied God. The nation was on the brink of collapse—morally, spiritually, and economically.

Then, something unexpected happened. A leader was placed in power who disrupted the system. He was not a politician, he did not fit the mold, and he did not play by the rules of the global elite. He was a disruptor, and his presence alone slowed the momentum of the one-world agenda.

President Trump’s presidency marked a pause—a divine interruption in the progression of globalism.

• He removed America from globalist agreements that sought to erode sovereignty.

• He exposed corruption at the highest levels.

He stood for Israel when the world turned against it.

• He interrupted the economic systems that were preparing for the digital currency takeover.

For a time, the globalists were thrown off course. Their agenda was delayed. Their timeline was interrupted.

But hear this clearly—this is only a pause.

The enemy has not been defeated. He has only been delayed. Now, we are watching a relentless effort to remove every barrier that was placed in their way.

The Antichrist’s System is Already Being Built

Many people believe the Antichrist is a future figure who will suddenly appear on the world stage. What they fail to see is that his system is already being built.

Scripture warns that the spirit of the Antichrist is already at work, even before his full revealing (1 John 4:3). The foundation for global control is being prepared, and every day, the pieces are moving into place.

• Global Governance – The United Nations, World Economic Forum, and international alliances are consolidating power, moving toward a one-world government that will enable totalitarian rule.

• Digital Currency & Financial Control – Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are advancing rapidly, creating the infrastructure for a cashless society where transactions can be monitored and controlled (Revelation 13:16-17).

• Artificial Intelligence & Surveillance – AI-driven systems and facial recognition technologies are now capable of tracking and monitoring entire populations. The ability to control who can buy, sell, or participate in society is no longer theoretical—it is being implemented.

• The Rise of Apostasy & Moral Collapse – A new “church” is forming, one that embraces sin, denies biblical truth, and paves the way for a one-world religious system (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

The Antichrist is not yet fully revealed, but his system is being established in real time. This pause is a delay in the full unveiling, but once it is lifted, the world will change in ways few are prepared for.

The Purpose of the Great Pause

God does not grant reprieves without purpose. The Great Pause we are experiencing is not an accident—it is a final opportunity for the Church to prepare before the next storm arrives.

This pause serves three primary purposes:

1. A Time to Strengthen What Remains

• Many believers have grown weary under the weight of cultural pressure, government overreach, and spiritual opposition. This pause is a moment to rebuild faith, fortify convictions, and prepare for endurance.

• The early Church did not survive under Rome because they were comfortable. They survived because they were prepared to endure trials. The same must be true today.

2. A Call to Discern the Times

• Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for being able to interpret the weather but failing to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). Many in the Church today are blind to the rapid progression of prophetic events.

• This pause is a moment to wake up, to see what is unfolding, and to recognize that the world is not returning to normal—it is accelerating toward the final fulfillment of prophecy.

3. A Separation of the Remnant from the Falling Away

• The coming days will separate those who are truly committed to Christ from those who only profess Him in name.

• There will be two distinct groups:

• The Judas Church – Those who bow to the Beast system, conform to culture, and abandon biblical truth.

• The Remnant – Those who stand firm, endure persecution, and refuse to compromise.

This pause is not for the Judas Church. It is for the Remnant—to prepare them for what is coming next.

Final Warning: This Window is Closing

The world is not going back to what it was. The final events of history are moving forward, and when this pause ends, the world will not be the same.

How will you use this time? Will you prepare, strengthen, and stand firm, or will you fall with Babylon when the storm returns?

The choice is now. The time is short. This is the Great Pause—how you use it will determine how you stand when it is lifted.
