It's not my analogy. It's from God's Word. It's not years away. When you can hear the thunder, the storm is not years away.
2 Thessalonians 2:6,7
"And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence."
The angels have been acting as a restraint, holding back the winds of that storm. The fact that the lawless ones have been revealed, in all the religious institutions, shows it is the time for the angels acting as a restraint to let go of the winds.
Revelation 7:1
"After this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding tight the four winds of the earth, so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree."
Revelation 9:14
"Untie the four angels who are bound at the great river Eu·phraʹtes.”
The time for the destruction of "Babylon the Great" is here. WTBT$ is part of Babylon the Great. Can't you hear the howling of the wind? It's not years away.
