The Great Awakening: Prophecy, Dreams, and the Return of the Watchmen
Prophecy isn't just ancient poetry. It's tomorrow's headlines.
There’s a pulse running through the world right now—faint but growing louder—like a heartbeat beneath the noise of industry and screens. You can feel it when you look at the headlines too long, or when your spirit stirs for no reason you can name. The sense that history is winding itself toward something final. The ancients called it the fullness of time. Today we call it instability, acceleration, and collapse.
Every few millennia, heaven collides with the works of man. The prophets described these collisions as visitations—moments when God steps through the veil and shakes everything built on lies. Historians call them revolutions. Same event. Different vocabulary. We are living through one now. The spiritual and the technological are fusing, and out of that fusion comes a hum that sounds an awful lot like the Great Awakening.

The Dream That Wouldn’t Die
Sometimes the future visits early, disguised as a dream.
In August of 1980, a man named Ken Peters had a dream that split his life in half. He wasn’t a pastor or a prophet—he didn’t even believe in any of it. But what he saw that night would shadow him for decades: a world unraveled, a civilization seduced.
He heard a trumpet—metallic, deep, vibrating through bone and sky. The earth shook. Graves opened. People climbed out dressed in light. The living panicked. And then—blackout. Every television, every radio, every circuit went dead. Two weeks of silence. The modern world, suddenly medieval.
When the screens came back on, a single man filled them all. He offered peace for loyalty, unity for identity. A new world under one name. His followers received a mark on their hands or foreheads—an emblem that bought access to food, shelter, and safety. Those who refused were branded enemies. Peters saw himself among them, trembling before the execution line, until a hand touched his shoulder. He turned, and Jesus stood beside him—eyes like fire, peace like thunder. Then he woke up.
He told that story before the internet existed. Before digital IDs, biometric payments, or global livestreams. Now his dream reads less like allegory and more like the morning news.
The Prophetic Algorithm
Prophecy has always been cyclical. Warning, mockery, acceleration, judgment. In the old world, the watchmen climbed stone walls and sounded trumpets when armies approached. Now the walls are digital, and the trumpets are podcasts, data leaks, and dreams. The new watchmen are programmers with Bibles open beside their keyboards, scientists who can’t explain why their experiments feel haunted, believers reading Revelation through the glow of a smartphone.
Daniel said knowledge would multiply in the last days. He didn’t specify how much. Today knowledge doubles every twelve hours. We drown in data but thirst for truth. We call it progress; Scripture calls it the quickening before the crash.
Dreams Colliding with Data
Yesterday’s prophecy became today’s prototype.
Ken Peters saw the screens. Now we live inside them.
He saw the mark. We call it convenience.
Central banks design digital currencies that can be tracked, paused, or programmed. The UN’s Global Digital Compact proposes a unified digital identity that links finance, health, and movement.
The infrastructure of Revelation is already on the whiteboard—marketed as inclusion and security. Control never begins with tyranny; it begins with streamlining.
He saw a blackout; now governments test emergency alerts that override every device.
He saw a global voice; now algorithms already decide what you can say.
The blueprint of his nightmare is etched into silicon.
The Return of the Watchmen
The ancient watchmen warned of armies on the horizon. The new ones warn of systems under construction. They don’t wear robes—they wear hoodies. They see the same spirit repackaged in code, policy, and media.
They’re mocked, of course. They always are. Every civilization ridicules its watchmen until the sky turns red. But they keep speaking, because silence is blood on their hands.
They’re the voices refusing to bow to the gospel of progress that sells spiritual blindness as enlightenment. They remind us that not every upgrade is evolution; some are temptation with better branding.
The Digital Tower of Babel
Our new gods run on electricity and metrics.
Every civilization builds a tower. Ours glows.
We call it the Internet of Everything, quantum computing, AI integration. It’s Babel rebuilt with fiber optics and arrogance.
AI promises omniscience; quantum networks hint at omnipresence; biotechnology flirts with omnipotence. Humanity, once again, reaching for godhood through machinery. Genesis called it rebellion. We call it research grants.
When you edit the image of God, you evict His Spirit from the temple. We are teaching machines to mimic consciousness while we forget how to keep our own souls awake.
The Great Divide
The Great Awakening won’t come through pulpits—it will come through people who refuse to comply. It’s not emotional revival; it’s discernment sharpened to a blade. The division won’t be denominational; it will be spiritual.
All over the world, ordinary people are dreaming again. Farmers, teenagers, soldiers—each reporting the same symbols: fire, shaking, light breaking through static. The message is identical across languages and latitudes: Wake up.
This awakening hurts before it heals. It tears illusions out by the root. But it also restores sight to those who thought faith was just metaphor. It isn’t. It’s armor.
Eyes Like Fire
In the dream, Peters stood before death until Jesus appeared beside him. One look—eyes burning with love and judgment—and the terror dissolved. That moment is the heart of prophecy. Not to terrify, but to tether us. To remind us that Christ’s gaze cuts through every empire, every algorithm, every illusion of control.
Prophecy doesn’t paralyze the faithful. It fortifies them. Judgment is mercy disguised as fire; it exposes what cannot endure. The shaking is not punishment—it’s purification.
The Trumpet and the Dawn
Technology, prophecy, and politics are merging faster than we can process. The systems meant to connect us are conditioning us. Yet amid the static, a trumpet sounds. It’s the call to wake up before the dawn breaks.
The Great Awakening isn’t coming someday—it’s already unfolding in every person who refuses to scroll past the signs. The watchmen are back on the wall, lanterns lifted against the storm, warning that the hour is late but not lost.
Look up. The night is almost over. The dawn is coming.
The Narrow Path Forward
So where does all this leave us? Honestly—right back at the quiet, steady work of following Jesus one step at a time. The world is loud, confusing, and way too good at pulling our attention in a dozen directions at once, but the narrow path doesn’t ask for perfection. It asks for direction.
Keep your Bible open. Keep talking to Him, even if the words feel clumsy. Keep turning away from the things that dull your heart. Keep choosing the small acts of obedience that no one else sees but He does.
Following Jesus isn’t about sprinting. It’s about staying with Him—steady, honest, willing. And if you do that, you’ll look back one day and realize He carried you farther than you ever expected.
