A World Undone
Chapter 1: A Nation Undone
Jacob Fisher sat in his modest farmhouse on the edge of a sprawling Midwest plain, his Bible open on the kitchen table. The headlines had grown darker over the years: food recalls, mysterious diseases, and laws that seemed crafted to crush small farmers like himself. His faith was his anchor, but the world seemed to be unraveling. Livestock was no longer a way of life; it had become a liability.
The latest blow came in the form of a Food Security and Inspection Commission (FSIC) recall targeting pork and beef products. The reasoning was vague, citing "potential contamination." But Jacob knew better. He had overheard whispers at the farmer’s co-op: the government wasn’t destroying the recalled food; it was storing it. Underground bunkers, they said, stockpiled for reasons no one dared to articulate.
Jacob looked out the window at his dwindling herd of cattle. The once-lively pastures seemed eerily quiet. His farm was one of the few left standing. Neighboring ranchers had been forced out, their land swallowed by corporations that turned it into sterile fields of genetically modified grains. The livestock industry, it seemed, was under siege.
Chapter 2: Whispers of a Storm
“They’re trying to break us,” said Caleb, Jacob’s closest friend and fellow rancher, as they shared coffee one evening. “The recalls, the regulations… it’s all part of the plan. They don’t want independent farmers. They want control.”
Jacob nodded, his mind drifting to Revelation 6:6: *"A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." * The scarcity of food—the calculated starvation of the world—wasn’t just a conspiracy theory. It was prophecy.
Caleb leaned in closer, his voice low. “You’ve heard about the bunkers, right? They’re not destroying that food. They’re hoarding it. For the elites. For whatever’s coming.”
Jacob’s heart sank. He had heard the rumors but dismissed them as fearmongering. Now, he wasn’t so sure.
Chapter 3: The Plandemic
When the "avian flu" outbreak hit, it wasn’t just chickens that were slaughtered en masse. Entire herds of cattle and pigs were ordered to be euthanized "out of caution." Farmers who refused were fined into oblivion or arrested. Jacob watched helplessly as his own livestock was taken, the trucks disappearing into the horizon.
The media praised the government’s swift action, but Jacob knew the truth. The pandemic was a pretense, a coordinated effort to dismantle the livestock industry. Without animals to raise or sell, Jacob’s income vanished. The only option left was to sell his land to a faceless corporation. But Jacob refused, holding onto his faith and the last remnants of his independence.
Chapter 4: The Rise of Control
As the years passed, the food supply became centralized. Meat was a rarity, replaced by lab-grown alternatives and synthetic protein blocks. The government issued ration cards, and only those who complied with new biometric identification systems could access food.
Jacob’s refusal to register marked him as a dissident. He and a small group of believers retreated to the wilderness, living off the land as best they could. They shared Scripture and prayed for strength, knowing they were witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy.
Chapter 5: The Darkness Descends
One night, as Jacob read aloud from Matthew 24, a young boy from their group burst into the camp. “They’re coming!” he cried.
Government drones had spotted their encampment. Within hours, soldiers descended, armed and efficient. The believers were rounded up and taken to a "re-education center." There, they were given a choice: accept the mark of the new global system or be cut off from society entirely.
Jacob refused. His decision was final. "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Matthew 16:26).
Chapter 6: The Great Tribulation
In the years that followed, the world plunged into chaos. Famine swept across nations, and wars broke out over dwindling resources. Those who had accepted the mark lived under the illusion of security, but their lives were tightly controlled.
Jacob and his group, now reduced in number, continued to resist. They lived in hiding, sharing what little they had. Despite the hardships, their faith grew stronger. They knew they were living in the days spoken of in Revelation, where the world was ruled by a beastly system.
One night, Jacob stared into the fire, the flickering flames casting shadows on his worn face. The world outside was crumbling. Cities burned, governments collapsed, and the earth groaned under the weight of judgment. He whispered the words of Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Yet even as he prayed, he felt the crushing reality that the worst was yet to come.
The Great Tribulation raged on, a relentless storm of suffering and despair. Jacob’s faith held firm, but the darkness seemed unending. The world had entered its darkest hour, and there was no turning back.
