Several governments have fallen into ruin in the region in recent years including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups have been decimated thanks to Israel. Now Syria has fallen as well, but when evil replaces evil, only more horror follows—unless the region is being primed for stability. Unless the residents are being primed for a savior of sorts.
Here is the take away: The region needs a peace maker. The question on the mind of prophecy watchers is this: With the new Trump administration, is a new level of peace negotiations in that region on the horizon? And could this lead to the ultimate peace deal of Daniel 9:27?
If the church were to be removed in the rapture, would it not be timely for the Antichrist to arise and heal the Middle East—and then the world?
The collapse of the Syrian government and the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime is not only a geo-political turning point, but could be a moment of profound prophetic significance in light of Isaiah 17.
The passage in Isaiah describes an utter obliteration of Damascus—something that only nuclear weapons could bring about, probably in the campaign of Armageddon. But keep your eyes on this scenario in the new year. And pray without ceasing for Syria’s many Christians—of all denominations. Syria’s “liberators” have their sights on anything and anyone Christian.
For believers who examine global events through the lens of Scripture, the situation in Syria requires serious attention.
Wolves Among the Flock—Again
Late in 2024, a Daystar executive was accused of child sexual abuse and another scandal exploded onto the scene. The details are horrific and we will spare you from them, but Christians, once again, shamed the name of Jesus Christ and further tarnished Christian media.
The network features a few sound ministries that provide moments of escape from the endless hours of heresy, prosperity teachers, hucksters, and fraudsters. When the root of such calamities is the love of money and earthly pleasure, mankind can sink to new lows as evidenced in the details of this story.
But ultimately, more wolves among the flock were exposed. We haven’t seen the end of this yet. It would be good if Christians turned off these outfits and opened their Bibles instead.
Strange Signs in the Heavens
I’m referring to the citing of mysterious drones all over America in late 2024! How bizarre. The Biden spokesmen played dumb—nothing new for them. What could potentially be more evil than eyes in the sky watching our every move? And, over some sensitive areas!
One compelling theory gaining traction and spreading rapidly across the web involves the use of these drones as sophisticated nuclear radiation detectors. Aerospace expert John Ferguson, founder of Saxon Aerospace, suggests the drones’ flight patterns and nighttime operations could indicate missions to detect gamma radiation or other hazardous materials.
Senior Biden administration officials, including representatives from the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Security Council, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense all wanted to play this down! Even though they’re peering into your attic window and back yard!
Conclusion: Government thinks we are stupid sheeple who fall for anything, and that is why Americans said “enough” last election day and chose to change the channel!
The Jeremiah of Our Time Passes
That is the title Time Magazine gave author and prophecy scholar Hal Lindsey, who passed away November 25. We weren’t expecting it, but Hal was 95 years old. His classic book, The Late Great Planet Earth, sold 35 million copies and strongly influenced so many, including this author.
Once Hal opened the door for end-time discussion, two-dozen writers followed him, including Chuck Missler, Tim LaHaye, Dave Hunt, Ron Rhodes, and many more. Publishers were eager to help readers understand how the last days played out due to the success of Lindsey’s first book.
Olive Tree Ministries brought Lindsey to the Twin Cities in 2004 and 2005. He was a bit eccentric but many of us are more than thankful that he impacted our lives. None of these stories were anticipated in 2024. I can’t imagine the surprises that are coming in 2025!

Terry, would you please explain how Hal was “ eccentric “ ? I only read his books, so never even considered him in this light . Would LOVE to have known him better.
Thank you !

“The military doesn’t attack the drones because the drones with metallic arms are theirs. The spheres that are round and glowing (metal or plasmic) and spaceships are alien in origin. The Galactic Federation of Worlds (GFW; good guys) is forcing the Deep State (bad guys) to come out and show their game. They (GFW) are trying to bring out the truth of alien existence for disclosure purposes. They are putting their ships in the skies for everyone to see, but the Deep State is trying to say that these (GFW) are bad ETs and that we need a New World Order to come against these ETs and follow the rules of a new dictator (Antichrist). The Deep State wants to stop disclosure, start WW3 and ‘kick start’ Project Blue Beam. However, the Deep State has been infiltrated by good guys who want to come out and disclose the truth about the existence of aliens. The Deep State tries to ‘muddy the waters,’ so-to-speak, by confusing the truth to discredit the issue. They are trying to send fake drones to say these are not aliens. They try to claim the drones are Russian or Chinese, etc. It’s a war of information. Trump knows everything about the drones and is working with the Galactic Federation towards disclosure.” — Elena Danaan, personal friend of Eisenhower’s granddaughter, former alien abductee rescued by the GFW, per ExoPoliticsToday.com The Former Director of National Intelligence Issued a Warning Over Biden Buying Chinese Drones For Feds (10-21-21); Drug Cartel Now Assassinates Enemies With Bomb-Toting Drones… (08-30-20 | Drudge); Navy Developing Mothership Drones for Coastal Defense…(defenseone.com); Deep in Pentagon, secret AI program to find hidden nukes… (Reuters)
Hal Lindsey’s “Late, Great Planet Earth” was the catalyst of my lifelong interest in prophecy. He will be missed. I am glad there are also many other experts like Terry James and Jan Markell who keep us in the loop. My deep gratitude to them all!
As far as the drone situation, I think they are either “ours” (domestically controlled, be it by private citizens or any number of government agencies), or “theirs” (run by our enemies). I don’t think they are otherworldly or supernatural based on the videos I’ve seen. They display conventional navigation lights and sound like they are flying by standard means of propulsion. I haven’t seen any exhibit any kind of extraordinary flight characteristics which we could not attribute to conventional drive systems.
I do wonder if these things are a diversion to distract us from some real activity being kept below the radar. After the Covid fiasco, I don’t believe much of what “officialdom” tells us these days. Even came to doubt that man-made climate change is real as I found such information as Mars also warming up and that human CO2 emissions only account for some 3.9% of the total contribution on natural sources in the atmosphere.
Strong delusion is upon us and it seems most of humanity is receptive to it already. Imagine how bad it will be post-Rapture.
We can’t fully imagine what the world will be post Rapture, with the “restrainer” removed. I shudder, and weep, to think.
While I believe wholeheartedly that God is sovereign in all things (I just finished reading Jonah again, what a testament to God’s plans, power, patience, and grace all beautifully wrapped into 4 short chapters!) I am in a state of ‘edge of my seat’ anticipation. Whether it is for the next to “shoe to drop” so to speak, or the Rapture, I can not say. But there is a strong sense that something(s) are looming large in the weeks to come.
Drones, Damascus, Scandals, Terrorism, Upheaval (the nations are surely in a roar), Lawlessness, Pestilence, Wars and Rumors of Wars, Apostasy, Amorality, Ai, Earthquakes & Volcanoes, Global Weather Events…there are too many signs given to us by our Lord, to turn away from seeing His coming wrath.
Perhaps we will be walking on those heavenly streets of gold before we know it!
