Are We Witnessing the Unfolding of Satanic Plans Through Emerging Global Pandemics in 2025?
In recent months, a growing number of prophetic voices have raised an alarming question: are the new waves of pandemics and crises in 2025 part of a satanic plan to seize global control? Watchmen and like-minded researchers in conspiracy theories argue that the enemy – in Christian terms, Satan working through worldly powers – has been orchestrating a grand plot, using bioweaponry and manufactured pandemics to advance a one-world system. According to these warnings, the tumultuous years 2020–2024 were merely a pilot phase, a trial run of global control mechanisms (lockdowns, digital health passes, mass vaccination) designed to test the waters. Now, in 2025, the plan is said to be moving into full implementation. This transition, they claim, is not coincidental: it aligns with occult predictions of a “Great General Assembly” of dark spiritual forces convening in 2025 – possibly around May 12, 2025 – to approve the next stage of their agenda. Given the ominous resurgence of Covid-19, surprising outbreaks of other diseases, and even talk of weather manipulation and world war, many Christians are asking if prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. Are we truly witnessing the unfolding of Satanic plans in real time, and if so, how should we respond? This article explores the evidence and urges believers to watch and pray, “for the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).
Prophetic Warnings of a Diabolic Agenda
Long before 2025 arrived, watchmen on the wall in the Christian community were sounding alarms about a coming Luciferian global order. A Christian Pilgrim – researcher in conspiracy theories and stigmatized knowledge – has repeatedly warned that global crises are being leveraged to advance the prophesied one-world government (See the pilgrim’s trumpet sound in this article). He and others point to the remarkable convergence of current events with biblical prophecy. Central to their thesis is that the COVID-19 pandemic was not just a random health crisis, but a calculated step toward centralized global power. The rapid rollout of mass surveillance, censorship, and vaccine mandates worldwide during 2020–2021 demonstrated how quickly freedoms could be curtailed in the name of public safety. It was, in their view, a dress rehearsal for the Antichrist system – a means to condition populations to accept draconian controls that will later enable a global dictatorship. Could it be that the enemy orchestrated a trial run, to gauge just how far and how fast the nations would submit to a new order? Many who were once skeptical have noted how perfectly these unprecedented measures set the stage for the “beast” government foreseen in Scripture (Revelation 13:7–8).
What makes 2025 especially significant? Researchers point to an obscure but revealing thread of occult prophecy: the writings of Alice A. Bailey (a Theosophist and New Age prophetess) spoke of a “Great General Assembly of the Hierarchy” to be held in the year 2025 (Umugenzi, 2025). In Bailey’s lore, this Hierarchy refers to high-ranking spiritual entities (what Christians would call principalities or demonic powers – “the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers of this darkness” per Ephesians 6:12). She wrote that “at the great General Assembly of the Hierarchy – held as usual every century – in 2025 the date will be set for the first stage of the externalisation of the Hierarchy” (Externalization of the Hierarchy, pp281). In plainer terms, Bailey’s followers believe that in 2025 these hidden forces will decide when and how to “externalize” – to openly manifest their power in the world through a coming “World Teacher” figure. Chillingly, Lucis Trust, an organization stemming from Bailey’s work, has openly discussed preparations for a “centennial conclave” in 2025 to welcome this new era. Those of a discerning mind see a dark mirror of Christian prophecy here: the New Age “World Teacher” sounds suspiciously like the Antichrist, and the “Hierarchy” like the legions of Satan.
Indeed, some researchers believe this occult gathering has already occurred in the spiritual realm. According to one detailed analysis, the last such assembly took place in 1925 and “purportedly approved World War II” as part of the hidden agenda (See Pilgrim, 2025). The period from 1925 up to 2025 was even called “The Stage of the Forerunner,” a preparatory era in which occult globalists laid groundwork for the final push. Now, exactly one century later, we have arrived at the moment they foresaw. It is claimed that on May 12, 2025 – during the esoteric Wesak festival’s full moon – the Hierarchy’s Great General Assembly convened to give the green light for the endgame. In their own documents, New Age adherents identify May 12, 2025 (the full moon of the Buddha’s festival) as the date of this “centennial greatest gathering”, when their masters would “reveal the exact date” for the full externalization of their plan. From a biblical perspective, one can interpret this as the kingdom of darkness moving into its final phase – the accelerated push toward a one-world government and religion under Satan’s lead. No wonder Jesus warned that “there will be… plagues in various places” and other fearful signs in the lead-up to His return (Luke 21:11). If these warnings are true, the second half of 2025 will not be business-as-usual, but a rapid unveiling of evil’s agenda.
Pandemics as a Weapon: 2020–2024 Was Just the Beginning
A core element of this alleged Satanic plot is the use of pandemics and bioweapons to subdue and control humanity. A humble watchman’s voice and others have emphasized that the COVID-19 crisis was a pilot program – a means to introduce global bio-surveillance, normalize emergency powers, and even to experiment with novel mRNA biotechnology on billions of people. The extraordinary coordination of lockdown policies and messaging across nations gave a glimpse of how a centralized authority (working through bodies like the U.N. and W.H.O.) could direct the entire world (Article). In 2020, the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab notably heralded the pandemic as a chance to “reset” the world – “a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world”. Critics saw that as a thinly veiled declaration that global elites intended to use the crisis to restructure society in line with their technocratic vision. In Schwab’s own words, “we must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems” to achieve this Great Reset (WEF, 2020). Is it any wonder many began to suspect COVID-19 was more than a health emergency – perhaps even an engineered one?
Now, in 2025, history appears to be repeating – or rather, escalating. After a relative lull, the world is witnessing a resurgence of pandemic fears. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported a sharp uptick in COVID-19 activity across multiple regions, driven by a new variant. By mid-2025, global SARS-CoV-2 test positivity had surged to 11%, a level not seen since the previous year (Soucheray, 2025, May 28). Countries in Asia and the Middle East in particular saw significant case increases, prompting some governments to reinstate masking and travel advisories. It is as if Covid-19 has returned for an encore. Simultaneously, the United States has been hit with a surprising measles outbreak, reaching numbers unheard-of in decades. Between January and April 2025, over 800 measles cases were reported in the U.S. – the second-highest annual case count in 25 years – with clusters in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas and at least three deaths resulting (CDC, 2025). Public health officials admit that a disease once thought eliminated is coming back, largely in communities distrustful of vaccination. But prophecy-minded observers ask: is it just negligence and “misinformation” at fault, or are these outbreaks being allowed (or caused) to create chaos? The timing, coinciding with other crises, raises eyebrows. This pattern of emerging health threats in 2025 was notably foreshadowed in our earlier analysis of symbolic predictions and media forecasts, which identified specific markers pointing to widespread disease outbreaks during this period (see details).
Beyond Covid and measles, other pandemic threats loom on the horizon of 2025. International health agencies are particularly anxious about avian influenza H5N1 – the bird flu virus. Scientists note that H5N1, which was mostly an animal virus, has begun infecting mammals and even humans at an unprecedented rate. In the U.S. alone, 61 human cases of H5N1 were recorded in the past year (mostly farm workers in contact with infected livestock), compared to only 2 cases in the prior two years (The Conversation, 2025). Given that H5N1 in humans can have a stunningly high fatality rate (around 30–50% in many cases), even a limited outbreak is alarming. What if this virus mutates to spread easily between humans? It could make COVID-19 look mild by comparison. Governments are already funding new H5N1 vaccines – yet some whistleblowers claim these “solutions” are themselves part of the bioweapon arsenal. Biotech analyst Karen Kingston, for example, has issued public warnings that the coming bird flu vaccines will be “far more dangerous and deadly” than even the controversial COVID shots. She argues that fast-tracking these H5N1 vaccines without proper testing – even foregoing animal studies – is “literally the definition of biowarfare.” In her view, the entire operation is a ploy: “when the real pandemic hits, [people] will trust the science… What’s the big deal if I get another one? …That’s the psyop going on right now” (Hunter, 2024). Such claims are sobering: they suggest that the ultimate bioweapon might be delivered under the guise of a lifesaving vaccine. While these assertions are disputed by mainstream experts, they underscore how deeply the narrative of orchestrated pandemics has penetrated the public consciousness. After all, even the U.S. FBI and Department of Energy have entertained the possibility that COVID-19 itself leaked from a lab – implying some human hand at play. If one novel virus can emerge from a lab, who is to say others won’t follow?
Are these growing bio-threats mere coincidence, or deliberate? To those with a prophetic worldview, it looks as if the forces of darkness are moving their chess pieces into position. Jesus forewarned that pestilences would characterize the last days (Luke 21:11), and Revelation speaks of the “pale horse” whose rider brings death by plague among other calamities (Revelation 6:8). Here in 2025 we see plagues old and new, natural and possibly engineered, all cropping up together. It feels as if the world is being primed for fear, primed for desperate populations to accept drastic solutions. Could a series of escalating public health emergencies be used to justify mass surveillance, quarantine camps, digital IDs, and even the suspension of elections under martial law? We already lived through a mild version of this in 2020 – perhaps the beta test. The next round may demand even more radical controls, especially if a virus with Ebola-like lethality were to spread. SANGWA and others caution that Satan’s endgame is to make the world so chaotic and perilous (through pandemics, famine, and violence) that people will cry out for a “savior” – paving the way for the Antichrist to rise as a false messiah offering order and safety at the price of freedom (Article). The Bible says this ultimate deceiver will gain power over “every tribe, people, language, and nation,” wielding authority unprecedented in history (Revelation 13:7). Today’s crises may be pre-conditioning for that climactic moment.
Beyond Disease: Weather Warfare and War Drums
Plagues are not the only tool in the alleged Satanic playbook. “Wars and rumors of wars,” Jesus said, would also mark the end of the age – “nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6–7, CSB). In 2025, the geopolitical climate is exceedingly volatile. The Russia-Ukraine conflict grinds on with nuclear threats in the background. China rattles sabers over Taiwan. Iran and Israel shadow-box with advanced weaponry. The specter of a third world war – once unthinkable – is now openly discussed by analysts. Intriguingly, even as some conflicts rage, sudden moves toward peace have emerged elsewhere (for instance, surprise diplomatic breakthroughs were reported in mid-2025 between long-time adversaries). Are these merely coincidental events, or is something deeper afoot? One Christian commentator mused that the rapid-fire diplomatic shifts of 2025 might be “the earthly ripple of that occult conclave” – in other words, we may be seeing global powers rearranged by unseen spiritual influence (Umugenzi, 2025). After all, if a hidden Hierarchy met to advance a one-world plan, we would expect major geo-political realignments to follow. Is the world being maneuvered (by invisible hands) into the precise configuration needed for the final act of the drama? Consider that according to Alice Bailey’s circle, the 1925 Assembly paved the way for World War II (See Article); by that pattern, the 2025 Assembly could usher in World War III – or alternatively, a deceptive peace accord that sets the stage for a later betrayal (as Paul writes, “When they say, ‘Peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come” – 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
Another unconventional but increasingly discussed front of warfare is the weather itself. In recent years, we have seen freak weather disasters: record-breaking hurricanes, wildfires that turn skies apocalyptic orange, sudden floods and droughts, even unseasonal snow in some regions. While many attribute these extremes solely to climate change, others suspect deliberate manipulation. Terms like “geoengineering” and “weather warfare” have leapt from fringe blogs to serious inquiry. It might sound like science fiction, but weather modification for hostile purposes is real enough that it’s been outlawed by international treaty. The 1977 U.N. Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) explicitly bans “weather warfare”, defined as “the use of weather modification techniques for the purposes of inducing damage or destruction.” (Wikipedia). In other words, world governments agreed not to weaponize the weather – which implies the technology to do so either existed or was foreseeable decades ago. Skeptics note that if such capabilities exist, a truly nefarious actor might ignore the treaty in pursuit of power. Imagine the strategic impact of unleashing hurricanes, droughts, or earthquakes on target populations. Some theorists posit that recent catastrophic typhoons or “once-in-a-century” heatwaves might not be entirely natural occurrences. Even the U.S. military has openly studied climate modification as a force multiplier in war. Could the chaotic weather of 2025 be part of the “unfolding plan” – sowing fear, destroying food supplies, and weakening nations, all in preparation for a controlled solution? It’s a disturbing thought. The Bible does speak of great natural disasters in the last days – e.g. “the sun scorched the people with fire” (Revelation 16:8) and “great earthquakes in various places” (Luke 21:11) – which could be purely supernatural or perhaps man’s meddling with creation allowed by God as judgment. Either way, it adds another dimension to the current global turmoil.
Truth or “Conspiracy”? – The Battle of Discernment
In raising these points, we must acknowledge a powerful counter-force: the mainstream narrative. Media, global institutions, and influential figures often dismiss talk of a Satanic or orchestrated plan as “conspiracy theory”, ridiculing it as fear-mongering or fringe paranoia. We live in a time when information itself is a battlefield. The truth is frequently suppressed as “misinformation,” while deceptive agendas are presented as noble and necessary. As Scripture warns, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).
Increasingly, those who attempt to expose what they believe are evil schemes are marginalized or censored. For example, a documentary that questioned the official COVID narrative – Planet Lockdown – was banned on major platforms for being “filled with falsehoods,” after media watchdogs campaigned against it (Reuters, 2023). Similarly, when independent researchers pointed out that a Johns Hopkins scenario (SPARS 2025–2028) had “predicted” a pandemic in 2025, Reuters published a fact-check insisting this was not proof of any planned outbreak (Reuters, 2023). We are told again and again that such connections are coincidental, that our leaders’ pandemic “exercises” and war-gaming are only prudent foresight – nothing to see here. Yet the pattern of history teaches that truth is often the first casualty in times of global upheaval. This perspective aligns with our research which details how certain influential figures and organizations have been positioning themselves to shape global health policy. In this analysis "What's Driving Bill Gates's 'How to Prevent the Next Pandemic' and Who Else Behind?", we exposed concerning connections between pharmaceutical interests, global governance aspirations, and pandemic preparedness initiatives. This adds another layer to our understanding of how current health crises might be leveraged for broader control agendas. The Bible even says that in the last days, people will be subject to powerful delusion because they “did not love the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11).
How, then, can believers discern truth in an age of deception? First, we must return to the Word of God, our surest guide. Jesus not only foretold the dark events of the end times, but He repeatedly urged, "Watch out that no one deceives you" (Matthew 24:4). Spiritual discernment is a gift of the Holy Spirit – one we must earnestly seek right now. We should not be surprised that the world's system (under the sway of "the god of this age," 2 Corinthians 4:4) labels prophetic warnings as "conspiracy." The Apostle Paul wrote that "the spiritual person… evaluates everything" (1 Corinthians 2:15), whereas the worldly person cannot understand the things of God. Thus, while secular analysts see nothing but random misfortune or human incompetence in today's crises, those with a biblical worldview perceive a malicious design. It is as if a dark puzzle is finally coming together: the pandemics, conflicts, moral revolutions, and technological controls all form a picture long ago painted in the Book of Revelation. The challenge for the Church is to stay wise as serpents yet innocent as doves – to neither be naive nor paranoid, but to test all things against Scripture. We must be like the sons of Issachar "who understood the times" (1 Chronicles 12:32) so that we know how to respond.
Crucially, Christians should avoid falling into despair or obsession. Our task is not to propagate wild theories, but to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and to bear witness to the Gospel hope. Yes, darkness may be advancing – but remember, it is only by God's allowance and for a limited time. The very prophecies of satanic global rule also assure us of Christ's ultimate victory. Daniel 7:25-27, for instance, says the Antichrist will harass the saints and dominate for a season, "but the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away… the kingdom, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High." We know who wins in the end! This confidence should give us strength to endure and wisdom to prepare.
A Call to Spiritual Alertness and Readiness
If indeed the barrage of emerging pandemics and global turmoil in 2025 signals an acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, then the message to the Church is clear: wake up and be ready. The Bible likens the end times to a woman in labor – the contractions (troubles) grow more frequent and intense as the delivery (Christ's return) nears (Umugenzi, 2025). Many believe we are now in those final birth pangs. The proper Christian response is not panic, but preparation. "But be alert at all times," Jesus urged, "praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36, CSB). This implies living in a state of spiritual readiness, with repentant hearts and lamps kept burning (Luke 12:35-40). It means we should be about our Master's business – sharing the Gospel, helping those in need, and cultivating personal holiness – so that when the Rapture occurs and the Lord calls His Bride home, we will not be ashamed or left behind. The devil may have his schemes, but God's plan for His people is one of rescue and redemption. "For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:9). We take comfort that before the worst of the Tribulation judgments fall, Christ will come for His faithful ones "in the twinkling of an eye" (1 Corinthians 15:52). Our task until then is to remain spiritually vigilant and active.
In practical terms, being "alert" means not only watching world events, but also watching the condition of our souls. Now is the time to cut off compromising ties with the world, to root ourselves in prayer and Scripture, and to strengthen fellowship with other believers. We should encourage one another, as Hebrews 10:25 says, "all the more as you see the Day approaching." Importantly, we must also guard against deception by immersing ourselves in truth. The Holy Spirit, whom Jesus called the "Spirit of Truth" (John 16:13), will guide us and give us peace even as lies abound in society. While the masses may either dismiss all this as nonsense or conversely be paralyzed by fear, the Church is called to a different posture – one of sober watchfulness coupled with unshakeable hope.
Finally, let us reflect on a sobering reality: if these crises are truly part of an unfolding Satanic plan, then we are living in the most significant period of human history since Jesus walked the earth. The convergence of biblical signs is unprecedented. This is not a time for lukewarm faith or casual churchianity. It is a time for the wise virgins to trim their lamps (Matthew 25:1-13), ensuring we have the oil of genuine relationship with Christ. The world around us may label our warnings "conspiracy theories," but soon, events will speak for themselves. The line between truth and lie, light and darkness, will become ever clearer – and each person will have to choose a side. As for us, we choose to stand with the Truth, our Lord Jesus, no matter the cost.
In conclusion, are we witnessing the unfolding of Satanic plans through the emerging global pandemics of 2025? The evidence presented – when viewed through the lens of Scripture and credible testimony – strongly suggests yes. But even more importantly, we are witnessing the fulfillment of God's plans, for He foretold all these things long ago. The rampant diseases, the wars and natural upheavals, the push toward global governance – all of it is heralding the soon return of the rightful King. Rather than succumb to fear, let us heed the Lord's command: "Now when these things begin to happen, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is near" (Luke 21:28). The night is dark, but the dawn of Christ's kingdom is approaching. Beloved, be awake, be discerning, and be prepared – the King is coming!
