2025 brings the Tribulation one year closer.
Personally I think the future Tribulation, thirty years away, will be more dire than the pandemic-related nightmare we all just went through, because the future nightmare will be completely AI-controlled: Controlled by a kind of smart global regime based on AI, under the auspices of a lawless despot, supported by a new empire similar to the Achaemenid empire of the past. This means coping with the ever-looming appearance of it will require a lot of comfort by the Holy Spirit. The churches receiving the Holy Spirit can then pray for mercy for everyone in the world, and for perseverance of the saints.
