Author Ray Dalio Issues A Chilling Warning That The Current Chaos Around The Globe Is Part Of A Larger Struggle That May Soon Erupt Into World War

Bridgewater founder and billionaire Ray Dalio is warning that the conflicts now raging across the globe are not isolated events, but connected parts of a growing superpower struggle. What the world calls ‘geopolitical instability’ is actually the steady setup for the prophesied last days. Dalio warned this week that the globe is already moving through the early stages of world war, and that the conflicts now erupting around the world are not isolated crises, but pieces of a much larger military and economic struggle between major superpowers. On that point, he is exactly right.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7,8 (KJB)

Have you really been paying attention to what’s been going on around the world? Gaza lies in ruins, Iran lies in ruins, Lebanon is being reduced to rubble on a daily basis and the common denominator between those things is the nation of Israel. Add to that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz which enriches Russia by $270 million to $760 million on a daily basis. China is benefitting as well as they sit back and watch the United States spending hundreds of billions in an unwinnable war in Iran.

‘For today, that is most importantly that the US-Israel-Iran war is just part of a world war that we are in and that isn’t going to end anytime soon,’ Dalio said.

Dalio’s world war warning lies in how global alliances are forming, with a clear alignment emerging. He says China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and Cuba are broadly opposed to a bloc led by the United States and its allies including European countries, Israel, Japan and Australia. He pointed to United Nations voting patterns, treaties and economic ties as evidence of this division, suggesting these alignments are already influencing outcomes. According to Dalio, we are now at Step #9 on his 13 Step outline that shows the ramp up to world war. In his 2021 best-selling book, The Changing World Order, you can read his entire premise.

The 13 Steps That Lead To World War:

1. The decline of dominant powers relative to rising ones
2. Escalating economic wars such as sanctions and trade blockages
3. The formation of economic, military and ideological alliances
4. An increase in proxy wars
5. Financial stress, deficits and debts increase, especially for the leading powers that are most overextended financially.
6. Government control increases over critical industries and supply chains
7. The weaponization of trade chokepoints
8. Powerful new technologies for war are built rapidly
9. Multi-theatre conflicts increasingly happen simultaneously
10. Suppression of internal dissent, as loyal support for the country’s leadership is demanded and opposition to the war and other policies is squashed
11. Direct military combat between major powers takes place
12. There are big increases in taxes, debt issuance, money creation, FX controls, capital controls and financial repression to finance the wars. In some cases, markets are shut down
13. Eventually, one side beats the other and gains indisputable control of the new order, which is designed by the winning side

Ray Dalio is not, to the best of my knowledge, a saved man, and neither does he invoke scripture is his warning to the world he gave this week. But I know this. I know that the entire world is now watching, and has been watching for some time now, the escalating events that absolutely do lead to world war. Think of what’s happening right now. Vice President JD Vance is in Pakistan alongside of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, trying to finagle a satisfying conclusion to the war with Iran that, thus far, Trump has been unable or unwilling to obtain militarily even though he started the war in the first place. The world order is not merely unstable, it is highly unstable, and at this point it will take very little more to blow the whole thing sky high.

As Iran Dominates Headlines, First Lady Melania Trump’s Epstein Files Statement Looks Like A Strategic Attempt To Flood The Zone

They did not roll Melania Trump out to ‘fall on the sword’ yesterday by accident. They did it because the walls are closing in, the Iran narrative is cracking, and somebody inside that machine decided it was time to change the subject before the subject changed them. So out of the blue, First Lady Melania gets in front of the mic to disavow Jeffrey Epstein and his files. Are you crazy, why?? If Hollywood made a movie about all this stuff, no one would believe it. Yet, we’re here on Day 2,216 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.

“The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” Proverbs 12:19 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Franklin D. Roosevelt, our 32nd U.S. President, is widely credited with saying: “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” Apply that to what First Lady Melania said yesterday in a move that no one saw coming, and you have all the ingredients for an end times conspiracy thriller. Only in this movie, everything is real. At the same moment this Epstein firestorm is reigniting, the administration is under pressure over Iran, military escalation, and instability tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Is it all going so badly for Donald Trump that this type of a catastrophic reset was needed? Apparently so. From the political fixed perspective, this is classic ‘flood the zone, split the headlines, and force the public to look in two directions at once’ messaging. When an administration is wobbling abroad, it often reaches for spectacle at home. This is not conspiracy theory, this is happening in real-time. So the question is on everyone’s mind today is who made her do it? Maybe nobody had to “make” her. Maybe lawyers told her more material was coming. Maybe advisers told her silence was no longer safe. Maybe the White House understood that a First Lady denial would generate exactly the kind of emotional, chaotic coverage they needed. But whatever the internal trigger was, this much is plain: the statement was coordinated, timed, and deployed for effect. My conclusion is simple. This was not confession, this was not courage, this was containment. It was an attempt to draw a hard line before the facts drew one for them. It was an attempt to redirect a dangerous narrative before it metastasized. And it was an attempt to create just enough noise, outrage, and confusion to bury the deeper question: what else is still coming out, and who inside Trump world already knows it? That’s the real story, and today we give you everything you need to know, from every angle, to help you make sense of all of it in light of end times prophecy found inside your King James Bible.

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

The 2026 NTEB Camp Meeting Weekend Is Coming This September With Powerful Preaching, Sweet Fellowship And A Burden For Reaching The Lost In The Last Days

It’s time to get excited for the 2026 NTEB Camp Meeting Weekend this September, and if there was ever a time for God’s people to gather, get strengthened, and get serious about the work of the ministry, that time is now. The world is racing headlong into darkness, confusion, apostasy, and chaos, but the mission of the Church in this present age has not changed one bit. We are still commanded to preach the gospel, still called to be lights in a dark place, and still entrusted with the greatest message this world will ever hear. That is why the theme for this year’s camp meeting could not be more timely: “Reaching The Lost In The Last Days.”

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

This year it’s more than just a Camp Meeting, it is the burden of the hour. While much of professing Christianity is distracted by entertainment, programs, and compromise, we want to keep our eyes fixed on the work the Lord gave us to do. Souls are perishing, time is short, but the doors are still open, and the fields are white already to harvest. Now is the time to go, now is the time to witness, and now is the time to do all we can while it is yet day. This year’s missions-focused Camp Meeting will help you get there.
