“Something Big Is Coming!” — Can You Relate to This Feeling? – Let Me Tell You Why (KJV)

February 6, 2026 | www.gospelofjesuschrist.blog | River Wilde

Across the world, a growing number of people—believers and unbelievers alike—are expressing the same quiet concern: “It feels like something big is coming.” This sense is not limited to one nation, one church, or one generation. It feels global. But what does the Bible say about moments like this?

Let’s discuss the “human” element of what is happening first.

Our Human nervous systems were never designed to absorb:

• 24/7 bad news
• Wars, economic fear, pandemics, moral collapse stories
• Social media amplifying every crisis instantly

When stress becomes constant, the brain shifts into anticipation mode — waiting for the “other shoe to drop.” That creates a shared sense of impending change, even if the change isn’t clearly defined.

Pattern recognition kicks in under pressure

The human brain is a meaning-making machine. When things feel unstable for long enough, the brain tries to connect dots:

• “This feels different than before”
• “Systems aren’t holding like they used to”
• “People are acting more extreme”

That doesn’t mean a single dramatic event is guaranteed — it means people are sensing transition, not necessarily catastrophe.

So, what does it say about these times in the scriptures?

Scripture offers both explanation and stability when the world feels uncertain.

The Bible Acknowledges Times of Collective Unease

Jesus Himself acknowledged that there would be seasons when humanity feels unsettled, watchful, and inwardly shaken:

“And upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth…”
— Luke 21:25–26, KJV

The word perplexity here speaks to confusion, pressure, and a sense of being hemmed in with no clear answers. That description fits our modern world remarkably well.

This does not mean every moment of unease signals immediate catastrophe—but it does mean Scripture expected seasons where humanity would sense instability on a broad scale.

A World Shaking Reveals What Cannot Be Shaken

The Bible teaches that God sometimes allows shaking—not to destroy His people, but to expose what is temporary and reveal what is eternal:

“Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven…
That those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”
— Hebrews 12:26–27, KJV

When systems, institutions, and cultural norms begin to wobble, it awakens a deep awareness in people. Many are not sensing a specific event—they are sensing that the foundations they trusted are no longer secure.

This is not meant to drive fear, but discernment.

The Spirit of the Age Is One of Watchfulness and Restlessness

Paul warned Timothy that the last days would not only be marked by outward events, but by internal restlessness within people:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
— 2 Timothy 3:1, KJV

“Perilous” here implies pressure-filled, stressful, and difficult to endure. Even those without faith often describe a vague anxiety they cannot name. The Bible explains this as a world increasingly disconnected from truth, stability, and God Himself.

Yet God Warns Against Fear-Driven Fixation

While Scripture affirms that times of uncertainty will come, it also strongly cautions believers not to live in panic or obsession over timing:

“Take heed that ye be not deceived… and when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.”
— Luke 21:8–9, KJV

Jesus did not call His followers to constant fear, but to faithful readiness. The danger is not in awareness—it is in allowing anxiety to replace trust.

What Believers Are Called to Do in Times Like These

Rather than speculating endlessly about what is coming, Scripture consistently points believers toward how to live during uncertain seasons:

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Let all your things be done with charity.”
— 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, KJV

The call is not to panic—but to:

• Watch with wisdom
• Stand firm in faith
• Walk in love
• Remain anchored in Christ

Our True Stability Is Not in the World

The reason so many feel unsettled is simple: the world was never meant to be our foundation.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed.”
— Psalm 46:1–2, KJV

When everything else shakes, God remains unmovable.

A Final Encouragement

If you feel that something is shifting, Scripture would not tell you to ignore that sense—but it would tell you to anchor deeper, not fear harder.

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
— Luke 21:28, KJV

Not fear.
Not panic.
But hope, and TRUST in His Plan.
