It cannot be co-incidence but just as the phrase “Prophets of Doom” hits the headlines world wide, the findings from a Runic Stone are published, featuring a Viking who failed as a 'prophet' of doom, recorded on stone!
In leading news at Davos, the American President Trump said,
“Fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope, joy, optimism and action. To embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.
"They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune tellers.” express.co.uk
and “They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s, the end of oil in the 1990s. We are living through the greatest improvement in human living standards in history. Extreme poverty has fallen below 10 per cent of the world’s population for the first time. It was 60 per cent when I was born. Global inequality has been plunging as Africa and Asia experience faster economic growth than Europe and North America; child mortality has fallen to record low levels; famine virtually went extinct; malaria, polio and heart disease are all in decline.”breitbart.com

“The mysterious inscription on famed Viking relic the Rök stone (or Rökstenen) reveals the warrior nation feared the return of the deadly ‘Late Antique Little Ice Age’ which wiped out more than HALF of Scandinavia — the stone speaks of an enduring battle against extreme cold weather in the sixth century. Per Holmberg, a professor of Swedish language at the University of Gothenburg, the text is telling a tale of light and darkness, warmth and cold, and it expresses a deep fear of a coming climate disaster. “The main theme is apparently the Sun, or the rhythm of light”, Holmberg explained. ..Roughly 300 years before Rökstenen was erected, the world was struck by a climate catastrophe which saw global average temperatures plunge significantly. Scandinavia was one of the regions worst impacted by this shift, with crop failure, starvation, and mass death ripping through Northern Europe–more than 50% of the population was lost, along with many species.
Furthermore, a string of violent volcanic eruptions darkened the skies with ash at this time, adding to the cooling, and further amplifying the crop failure, famine, and wars.” electroverse.net
Some websites say the Viking Rune is fulfilled today, but they are confused as some say it is for warming and the others for soon-to-be cooling! The stone is from c800. Its pagan prophecy of fear for cold was never fulfilled in the years the stone could be read, as the years from 900-1300 were years of warmth and famous exceeding prosperity of the Vikings as they expanded even into Greenland and the isles of Scotland, travelling even to America! The centre of rule in Norway was the far North city of Trondheim, now often frozen over. By the mid 1300s the language had changed and Christian faith had emerged, and massive Medieval Cathedral was built at Trondheim. Until recently the stone of the 'prophet of doom' could not even be deciphered!
Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. (Jeremiah 14:14)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat 7:15) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Mat 24:11-12)
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1Jn 4:1)
Without considering their insensitivity to the suffering of those who lost homes due to local mismanagement,
there were so many gaining media notice for blaming the 'Climate' in bushfires in Australia
(without considering the historic patterns which show nothing
abnormal), that an Australian was motivated to release a song, in
which at the end he points out the good things of warming, and of
fossil fuel in power use!
Whereas 'climate' was blamed loudly, it was not reported much that both traditional management and prayer had saved lives and property, as the wind suddenly changed after sincere prayer. One may suspect the 'Gore effect' as, curiously, after the Australian media and Goverment complained about Climate the Capital Canberra was hit by a severe hailstorm. In the Bible God uses hail in judgement (Job 38:22), famously in Egypt (Exodus 10). This hail destroyed many Solar Power Panels, including those designed to resist hail, and including those powering the Goverment Research CSIRO buildings. Ironically the reporter witnessed, "the fire brigade was making shattered solar panels safe on the roof of one building." The hail also destroyed 65 of the Greenhouses at the CSIRO, where they were researching "greenhouse" induced 'Climate Change', using air conditioners. (canberratimes.com.au) CSIRO and many others have some pride in the Solar Panel as it's a 'saviour', when God only is the Saviour. Yet they still must fear God's majesty, as "Canberra scientist tells of fear as giant hailstones rained down."
Why should so many reject the blessings that came with the deep national revivals of faith of the nations of the Industrial Revolution? Were not the innovators of that era, on which everything from structural analysis to TV and flight, committed Christians?
For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2Thess 2:11-12)
As to the Apocalypse: it is very poorly understood. You may wish to read more Revelation as History until today
The real issue is the hatred and upset of those who have the false visions: the video speaks of the violence of the climate demonstrators. That was predicted!
The Real Issues: The Prophecy of Jesus
It was reported that the year 2019 saw 1 in 4 countries affected by violent protest. Those in France, Hong Kong and Lebanon are most reported, but there were more, including Extinction Rebellion jww.org/global-update/
In the Olivet prophecy Christ said,
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: (Luke 21:10) and
When ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:7-8)
The prophecy related to the era of the last days of Judea's existence, before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, but must be understood in context of the era that would see the end of Gentile rule over Jerusalem, which occurred in 1967.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:24-28)
The word for 'nations' means 'the people' the 'ethnos'. Whereas kingdom is basileia meaning realm or nation. Perhaps the translators could not imagine ethnos, or 'tribal' groups within a nation fighting (such as those for or against Climate action or guns). There are even within nations violent gangs of people of a different genetic 'ethnos' rising up.
Sweden is a case in point.
"This morning we woke up again to news of blasts. More than 230 bombings were carried out in 2019. The situation has escalated sharply whether the gang criminals have completely taken over. The pessimism at record levels... Nobody listens to a government that is unable to manage its own country... I attend an annual national conference in Sälen where politicians, authorities and organizations gather to discuss defense and security policy and the crisis preparedness. Yesterday I gave my speech on the Swedish defense and security policy of the future, and one of my main points was that internal and external security are intimately linked." www.aftonbladet.se/
In the context of recent mass migration of people of one genetic family 'ethnos' into an area of a majority other 'ethnos'- there is a specific prophecy of the day of God's judgement, where the faithful are blessed and the evil of the world removed.
I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
It shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. (Isaiah 13:11-14)
This only makes sense in an era of recent mass migration. Within one generation in minor migration most integrate and become part of their nation's 'ethnos'. Which ethnos are we as Christians, as strangers and pilgrims? Where is our home, our kingdom, where we dwell? Is there fear there? NO!
What is the end of the terrible events of Apocalypse, most of which are now already dreadful human history? Not doom or gloom!
I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Rev 21:3-4)
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: (Revelations 22:2-3)
Why the Earth will Endure forever!
