The Prophetic Role of Labor Unions in the End Times

Can joining a labor union actually prevent you from following God?

It’s the trade union that bring the time of trouble

Yes, the labor unions will be a primary agency used to bring about a period of unparalleled trouble on the earth. This movement is a fulfillment of prophecy, indicating that the world is busily organizing into parties opposed to the law of God.

The Role of Unions in the Final Crisis ⚠️

  • A Snares of the Enemy: Labor unions and confederacies are described as a snare that wraps men in the folds of the enemy, and those who join them cannot keep the commandments of God.

  • Violence and Bondage: These organizations are controlled by a cruel power that seeks to bring tradespeople into bondage, often resulting in violence and death for those who oppose their dictates.

  • Marked Men: In the future, gigantic monopolies will be formed, and anyone who refuses to join these unions will become a "marked man," facing serious difficulties in buying and selling Revelation 13:17.

Economic and Spiritual Oppression 📉

Unions and trusts are used to hoard wealth and rob the poor, heaping together treasures that will be consumed in the last days. This confederacy of men against the Lord will continue until Christ leaves His place of intercession in the heavenly sanctuary Daniel 12:1. During this time, the wicked are effectively "binding themselves up in bundles" to be burned.

The Call to Leave the Cities 🏡

Because these unions will make it nearly impossible to carry on work or live peacefully in urban centers, there is a recurring instruction to move away from the cities.

  • Rural Living: Families should seek out rural districts where they can raise their own provisions and be free from the interference of enemies.

  • Institutional Safety: Sanitariums and schools should be established in the country to avoid the turmoil, confusion, and strikes brought about by union power.

Preparation for the Time of Trouble 🛡️

As the storm approaches, we must have an experience in faith that we do not currently possess.

  • Spiritual Armor: We are to put on the whole armor of God to withstand the wiles of the devil during this evil day Ephesians 6:11-17.

  • Reflecting Christ: To receive the seal of God and be protected, one must reflect the image of Jesus fully and separate from all unrighteousness.

  • Divine Protection: While the world faces anguish, those who make the Lord their habitation will find that the angels of God encamp around them for deliverance Psalms 34:7.

When the time of trouble finally reaches its peak, God’s people will be delivered by His voice, and the captivity of the saints will be turned forever Jeremiah 30:7.
