1. The Birthing Pains Are a Transition Period, Not the Tribulation
When Jesus spoke of the “beginning of sorrows,” He was not referring to the Tribulation period or the final outpouring of judgment. Instead, He identified a distinct transitional phase that precedes these events. The birthing pains represent the process by which the world transitions from the current age into the system that will dominate during the Tribulation.
This period is marked by instability rather than centralized control. It is characterized by fragmentation, exposure, and collapse—not by order or enforcement. In contrast, the Tribulation is highly structured, regulated, and governed. Confusing these two periods leads to misunderstandings of both current events and future prophecy.
The birthing pains serve to dismantle existing systems, paving the way for what follows.
2. Jesus Gave a Specific Pattern and Order of Events
Jesus did not simply list troubling signs; He revealed a specific prophetic order that aligns with the covenant judgments found throughout Scripture. These judgments unfold in a consistent sequence and are never reversed, as each creates the conditions for the next.
The pattern Jesus revealed is:
Sword – war, conflict, civil unrest
Famine – economic collapse, currency failure, market instability
Pestilence – plagues, disease outbreaks, systemic health crises
Death – the cumulative result of the previous judgments
This order is foundational: War destabilizes nations and economies; famine follows as systems break down; pestilence exploits weakened populations; and death increases as governance and infrastructure fail. Jesus emphasized that these events would escalate in frequency and intensity, signifying a transition rather than a resolution.
3. Economic and Currency Collapse Belong to the Birthing Pains
Scripture makes clear that a digital system of control over buying and selling emerges later, under the authority of the Beast. This system does not develop within a functioning, trusted global economy; instead, it is introduced as a solution following a collapse.
For such a system to be accepted:
Existing financial structures must fail
Trust in national currencies must erode
Markets must become unstable
The U.S. dollar must lose its role as the world’s reserve currency or be replaced.
This collapse does not occur during the Tribulation; it precedes it. The birthing pains are the stage in which currencies, markets, and economies fracture, preparing the world for later acceptance of centralized control.
4. We Are Currently in the First Sign: War
The first sign Jesus gave was the sword, which is already active.
The Russia–Ukraine war marked a historic turning point. It is the largest land war in Europe since World War II and has shattered decades of geopolitical assumptions. Simultaneously, war in the Middle East has escalated, drawing in both regional and global powers.
These conflicts have:
Militarized economies
Disrupted supply chains
Destabilized energy markets
Accelerated global division
This is not a temporary crisis; it is the opening stage of the birthing pains.
5. Famine Follows War and Is Directly Connected to It
The second sign Jesus gave follows the first without exception: war always produces famine.
In biblical terms, famine is not limited to hunger. It includes economic deprivation:
Inflation
Currency devaluation
Market crashes
Debt crises
Shortages of food, energy, and goods
As war persists, nations exhaust reserves, print currency, and disrupt trade, making economic consequences unavoidable. This is why Jesus linked these signs together: the sword initiates the collapse, and famine exposes it.
6. Prophetic Dreams Revealing the Outcome of the War and Its Economic Impact
During the early stages of the Russia–Ukraine war, the Lord gave me a series of prophetic dreams that revealed not only how the conflict would progress but also how it would directly impact global markets and economies.
On April 15, 2022, I published a prophetic vision showing the U.S. dollar plummeting while Russia continued to progress rather than collapse:

On May 5, 2022, I published a prophetic dream showing Russia taking Ukraine, not as a quick resolution, but as a geopolitical shift that accelerates global realignment:
In these revelations, I saw nations buying and trading with one another using currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including for oil transactions. This directly impacted both the dollar and the petrodollar system. At the time, such developments had never occurred at this scale in modern history.
These shifts began only after the Russia–Ukraine war and the weaponization of the U.S. dollar. What was revealed prophetically started to unfold in reality.
7. The War Accelerated the Development of BRICS Systems
The war did not merely destabilize existing systems; it accelerated the formation of alternative ones.
This conflict spurred the rapid development and expansion of BRICS-aligned financial systems. These systems now account for approximately 40–50 percent of the world’s GDP and are continually expanding their reach through alternative payment networks and currency frameworks.
Examples include:
Expansion of yuan-based networks to 185 nations
Development of a yuan-based payment system

These systems are not yet the final system described in Revelation. Instead, they are transitional structures that fracture the existing order and prepare the ground for what is to come.
