[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)

World current events, trends, signs of the
end times and Bible prophecy

The great tribulation with the Antichrist
is almost upon us and like the almost prophetic song by Barry McGuire said, you
see these things,"but you tell me over and over and
over again my friend, Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction".

Don Koenig has written 25 detailed
articles below about world trends, world current events and signs of the end
times that all correlate to indicate that the world is on the eve of
destruction. The judgment on the earth spoken about in end time Bible prophecy
is now imminent.

(Read about these many world trends and
signs of the end times so that the coming great tribulation and great deception
or strong delusion will not come on you unaware.You can
escape the great trial and great tribulation that is coming on this evil
prophetic generation by
trusting in the Lord Jesus to save you from your sins.

Fulfillment of end time Bible
prophecy was not possible until Israel once again became a nation dwelling in
her promised land with Jerusalem as her capitol. The restoration of Jews to
their promised land is one of the prophetic signs of the end times but there are
many other world current events, world trends and signs of the end times that
indicate that the fulfillment of Bible prophecy is now at hand. Many in the
world will find out too late that they are on the eve of destruction after the rapture
of faithful Christians is followed by the arrival of the great tribulation, the
great deception, and the Beast Antichrist.

The book of Daniel tells us that seventy sevens of years
(490 years) is determined upon Israel and the Holy City to finish the
transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to
bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and prophecy and to
anoint the most Holy.Thus far, 483 years (69 weeks of
years) have been historically completed.After the
483rd year Daniel tells us that the Messiah would be cut off (Jesus). We know
that the last seven years of this prophecy were never historically fulfilled
because there was no restoration in the land of Israel or judgments as the
prophets clearly declared. Therefore, we nowshould
understand that the fulfillment of the last seven years for the Jewish people
comes after the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Luk 21:24).

The times of the Gentiles is the age of God's grace to all
nations who come to the Messiah through their trust in Jesus. After the times of
the Gentiles are fulfilled there still remains the final seven years of
transgression for the nation of Israel after which she will be restored to her
rightful place as head of the nations. The prophetic scriptures indicate that
toward the end of this tribulation period she will repent, call on the name of
her true Messiah and at that time He will come to rescue her from the Beast
Antichrist and establish the promised Jewish kingdom on earth.

Daniel, also tells us that the last seven years begins when
Israel signs or confirms a covenant with a world leader that scripture
identifies as the Beast (Antichrist). Jeremiah, in his prophecy, calls this time
the time of "Jacob's trouble" (Israel's trouble). Daniel, Jesus and John in
Revelation speak of 1260 days of great tribulation just before Israel's
restoration. During this period true Israel accepts Jesus Christ as her true
Messiah and at the end of the 1260 days Jesus comes to earth in great power and
glory and destroys all of the armies of the world that the Beast Antichrist
deceived to come against Israel. The Beast Antichrist and his False Prophet will
be cast alive into the Lake of Fire. Jesus will then set up the promised kingdom
age of peace and justice on earth ruled from Jerusalem for one thousand years

The 1260 day period, also known as
the "great tribulation" and the "day of the Lord", will begin when the Beast
Antichrist enters the rebuilt Jewish temple and claims to be God. He and his
false prophet will deceive the whole world. Jesus warned in in His Olivet
discourse that this event would mark the time of the worst destruction on the
earth that it will ever know. Jesus said if He did not shorten the days of this
destruction no flesh would survive.

Jesus will remove His faithful Church sometime prior to
these 1260 days of great tribulation and great deception or strong delusion.
Those that remain and go through this end time turmoil on the earth will
ultimately have to make a choice. Those that remain in the world will either
choose to worship the Beast Antichrist that will appear in the image of Satan as
the counterfeit god of this world, or else they will choose the true image of
God and the true Creator of this world (Jesus).Most
that will not worship the Beast Antichrist counterfeit god will lose their
physical lives but in losing their lives for faithfulness to Jesus their eternal
souls will be saved.

I believe most people living in the world today will see
the fulfillment of these end time Bible prophecy events. Most world trends,
church trends, world current events and prophetic signs of the end times
indicate that the world is now on the eve of destruction and near the great
deception that was foretold in the Bible. All world trends correlations seem to
indicate that the Beast Antichrist will be on the scene around 2030AD. Most of
the conclusions in each of the 25 world trends articles in this series enforce
that conjecture.
