Wars and Rumors of Wars

Something about the precipice of disaster, the onset of panic, feels so familiar, yet personally I cannot say that I have been in this position before. Somehow it is almost comforting. The apparent goal of survival is such a contrast to the pointlessness of daily persistence, it is a welcome change, despite feeling a bit cruel at not feeling scared or even panicked like most are right now.

Matthew 24:6 "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed."

(For now)

War: virus

Rumor: WW3

Matthew 24:7

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places."

Perhaps nation vs. nation was for the rumor, and kingdom vs. kingdom was for the war? It could have been a biology reference, with animals vs. disease being this final war. What's interesting about a virus though is that it functions as both living and not, and as such we have not placed it in a kingdom (Monera would likely be the closest, with bacteria). If so, Jesus would not have been redundant, but would have chosen words carefully to appear to have been redundant, in order to obfuscate the meaning of this verse until the war actually started. Also, a virus instead of a bacteria leaves room for debate on the classification of viruses as a whole, which stands out like a sore thumb if the classification is confirmed, having been referenced over 2,000 years ago (I still say omniscience and time travel explain many of these inexplicable references quite well).

Matthew 24:8 "All these are the beginning of birth pains."

My Phoenix assertion keeps feeling more accurate, solidified, and even outright tangible now in dreams and general public psyche. While the KJV uses the word sorrow, NIV used birth pains. I looked up the original Greek which is ὠδίνων or ōdinōn. It seems most closely tied to birth pains, and at one point I thought I had even found that to be certainly that case, but cannot find the same reference today. Regardless, other verses have recently come into focus as well:

Hosea 13:13 "Pain as of a woman in childbirth come to him, but he is a child without wisdom; when the time arrives, he doesn't have the sense to come out of the womb."

All this, when combined with Jesus speaking of being born again and etc. seems to indicate an actual birth upcoming, very similar to how we were born as humans here, but this will be much like coming from the womb of what we know here into something once more unknown and on a much grander scale. The concept is that The Phoenix permeates this reality in much the same way as we permeate each cell in our own body. 

Interesting times, to be sure. I'll tell you a switch is gonna flip in my brain for sure at the first round of earthquakes coming up here, since "famine's tendrils" have already become apparent visiting the stores this morning. Once we get earthquakes, maybe as late as April, unlike the unwise son I will be on the constant lookout for signs of contractions and needing to be born, however that might look from here.

Update 3/12/22:

I am realizing the "earthquakes," have been present for some time, as violent contractions in reality along lines that most are unaware of. I even physically felt one in 2017 in Flagstaff, that it seemed no one else was aware of, and I believe I also caught precisely why, as it was paired with what sounded like a command: amnesia. I am not one to forget such a thing though, especially if I am told to, regardless of the number of those insisting it was in my mind. It makes me wonder why it seemed like everyone else did forget though, I know/have known some very stubborn people. Perhaps stubbornness is only effective to the depth at which one's structural integrity is founded, and an amnesia attack beneath that depth is by its nature unobservable by the one impacted by it.
