There are 3 verses that really amaze me as they show exactly what's happening right now:
“He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.” (Daniel 8:25) Right now Satan is causing deceit to spread like cancer all over the earth. There's more false teaching then Truth in the churches today; there's more false news stories then truth today, there's more false methods of healing in the medical field today, and so on. Every area of life is affected. There's even more falsehood about history, government, sex and every other area of study being taught to our children today!
The next verse kind of goes along with this one: ““The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.” (Amos 8:11) Like I said above, there's a much better chance of people hearing lies then there is of them hearing the Truth from God's Word. But sadly, this will only get worse as things continue to rush toward the end of this age.
Finally, this last verse shows the mental state of many people today. People are going crazy about covid. It sure makes me understand that one verse in the Bible about the end times better: “Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5:1–3) This is starting to happen now. People are going to be so concerned about their safety and about peace that they'll accept anyone they think will give it to them. Now because of covid, people are scared to death and starting to look for someone they think can really protect them. No doubt riots, shootings, etc will get worse which will cause people to desire peace and safety even more. Then the antichrist can reveal himself and pretend to be their savior.
