Brief Summary
As sin is rampant, and as G-d’s people have broken covenant with Him, and as the Messiah (Christ) has already spiritually returned a very long time ago (Mark 9:1), and as the great judgement has taken place (Revelation 20:11-15); G-d has instead withdrawn His Holy Spirit with regard to His people (now including believers In Messiah (Christ)) performing outward miraculous signs and wonders.
‘…the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,’
(Mark 13:24 KJV also see Matthew 24:29)
Explanation: Here, the sun represents Christ and how the actual context of the gospel has been distorted and since adopted by many on mistaken terms.
The moon represents G-d not giving His Holy Spirit for the purpose of outward miracles.
Verses such as the following also confirm such;
As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
John 9:4 NIV
John 9:4 and 11:9-11 show us that ‘light’ and inturn ‘day’ speak of the ability to perform miracles such as when the faithful king Messiah (Christ) healed the blind man (John 9:1-6).
Later he went to raise his dear friend Lazarus from the dead (John 11:9-11), after speaking yet again about it still being possible to work (do outward miracles) then even at the eleventh hour when it was so close to the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and his second coming a little later on, perhaps say around circa 70 AD (Mark 9:1).
Concerning end times and the [spiritual] desolate end here in the sense of righteousness and outward miracles, Scripture agrees again with there being perhaps no more anointing thereonwards for new believers to perform outward miracles, by G-d’s Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) – where it says in Revelation;
‘and the light of the lamp will not shine in you any more,…’
(Revelation 18:23 – Clearer Translation)
Disclaimer: With this, be wary of any spiritual apparitions and visions here also.
Scripture tells us that the Holy angels, and all those above in the new heaven and new earth, can look down on this earth, and are amazed at rebellious mankind – the people who populate this earth today;
“And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
Isaiah 66:24 ESV
This is the last verse of Isaiah, and it has just followed the creation of the new heaven and earth (which are both above us) in verse 22 before it.
As all the Holy beings look down and view us from above, and G-d will no longer give His Holy Spirit to mankind for the purpose of outward miracles (Mark 13:24 KJV, Matthew 24:29), judgement has taken place. This should be taken as a cue to deem any visions or spiritual apparitions as of a ‘satanic nature’ – and this comes about from the phenomenon known in Holy Scripture as the ‘overwhelming scourge’ (Isaiah 28:18-19, Romans 7:19-21), which is essentially antagonistic and a cause of much trial in this life for a believer. This is the safe approach, supported by Holy Scripture.

■ What Miracles And Spiritual Things Exist Today?
To facilitate the everlasting gospel (ref. Revelation 14:6), as per the New Covenant (Jer 31:31), those who believe in Messiah (Christ; Isaiah 42:6, 49:8), recieve a [figurative] new heart to in turn be open/inclined to G-d’s good commandments, and are caused/enabled by G-d’s Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to observe His good ways (Ezekiel 36:26-27, 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). They are desirous of what is defined as Holy and good (ref. Romans 7:12).
This is referred to as being born again (born from above) (John 3:3) – and although there are no ‘fireworks’, this can be described as organically soveriegn in nature.
There is a spiritual-type of resistance in this world that a believer is highly likley to come across, and this phenomenon is referred to as the ‘overwhelming scourge’ / ‘spiritual wickedness in high places’ (Isaiah 28:18-19 ESV, Ephesians 6:12), which is given mention in Romans 7:19-21.
This wicked, spiritual overwhelming scourge phenomenon still exists here.
The born again newness (desire to do what g-d has instructed etc.) is only found by believing in G-d and in Christ (Messiah) (Isaiah 50:10, John 14:1) and is essential to see the kingdom of G-d (John 3:3, 3:5).
In a believer’s life here, the resistance mentioned (spiritual wickedness in high places) forms part of the trials that a believer must endure through (James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 1:6, John 16:33, Revelation 14:9 and 14:12).
There are no outward miracles / spiritual encounters that are biblically allowed to be accessed here in this earth;
‘…the moon [G-d] shall not give His light [His Holy Spirit to mankind here for miracles]…’
(ref. Matthew 24:29)
Hoping it is fruitful with you.
May the Holy G-d bless you beyond maximum, believing in His risen Son the Lord Jesus Christ (Adonai Yehoshua HaMoshiach). Amen.
