In a river meeting the sea there is what is called a mixing zone, where the fresh water meets the salt water. Some seabirds like to fish in this zone, sometimes also called a salt zone. The reason for this is because the mixing of salt and fresh water causes a turbulence of forces, chemicals and lifeforms. This results in a large range of fish. I suggest right now in October 2024 we are in a metaphorical mixing zone. The future events of Revelation such as the Beast and its 666 mark are starting to form like the sea water of a metaphorical ocean. At the same time major events are flowing into these future events. Elections in USA. BRICS summit. Wars. It is all turmoil. Like the sea tossing. Eventually out of the turmoil will come the first Beast. Right now it is confusing. Events of today might have no bearing on apocalyptic evens of tomorrow, but the way things take shape will be chaotic. Eventually the events which become most significant are those which will become the backdrop to everything foretold in the lead up to Christ coming. How it happens is not clear in this mixing time.
