This planet is experiencing invasion which, according to God’s prophetic Word, will be a repeat of a past invasion (Luke 17:26–30).

The world changed drastically in the twentieth century. The most powerful time of change came in mid-century, with World War II and the Jewish Holocaust, accompanied by the explosion of the first atomic bomb, and that horrific weapon’s first use on Hiroshima, then Nagasaki, Japan. There swiftly followed the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls at Qumran and the birth of modern Israel, coinciding with the formation of the United Nations.

Technology, developments that had moved at a snail’s pace throughout history until the late nineteenth century, seemed to ignite in rocket-like fashion.

Inventions burst forth from the time of the steam engine to the telegraph, electric power, then to powered flight…and, well, you know the rest.

President John F. Kennedy, in his January 20, 1961, inaugural address, summarized the position that generation held on history’s timeline: “Man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.”

The very year the president was assassinated, America’s leaders chose to gravitate toward the latter option verbalized by Kennedy two years earlier—to begin to “abolish human life.” That year–1963—the Supreme Court elected, without inviting America’s electorate to participate in the decision, to kick God out of public schools. This downward spiral of moving away from the Life-Giver—God—and toward death, eventuated ten years later with Roe v. Wade and the murder of almost 70 million babies in their mothers’ wombs since.

Something profound had happened to this human sphere. When one dissects the strange dichotomy–the fantastic progress in man’s knowledge and technological achievement, and at the same time the geometric progression of violence and degeneration of morality in this nation and the world—a truly empirical conclusion must acknowledge that something eerie is going on. Planet Earth is experiencing dynamic rearrangement that even the most fervent apostle of the faith system called evolution must be hard-pressed to explain.

Jesus and the Old and New Testament prophets, however, are not hard-pressed to explain. This world is becoming as it was in the days of Noah and Lot (read Luke 17:26–30). Planet Earth is experiencing an invasion—not from Mars, the Pleiades, or some other far-distant star system, but from right here, where Earth’s trouble has stemmed since the leader of the invasion first entered man’s sphere of existence. The invasion is interdimensional, not extraterrestrial.

Lucifer, in his first assault on God’s creation called man, first deceived Eve, then convinced Adam to disobey God, with whom Adam and his wife had walked perfectly. From that point, Satan attacked humanity with a vengeance, his minions even intermingling their seed with humankind.

The chief Scripture that both tells of the serpent’s (Satan’s) war against humankind and the fact that God promised that woman’s (Eve’s) seed would ultimately crush the devil’s head, is found here: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Genesis 3:15).

What I want to look at in this Scripture is the fact that the invaders (Lucifer’s minions, the third of the angels who rebelled in Heaven and were expelled) possess “seed.” They would go on to intermingle their “seed,” with the “seed” of the woman, Scripture tells us:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

We again are given the abominable mingling of the fallen angels’ seed with the seed of human women:

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 1:6–7)

Just as the Sodomites–the homosexuals of the doomed city of Sodom—committed fornication with “strange flesh” (those of the same sex), the fallen angels, Jude is saying, went after “strange flesh” (those of a different creation–human women).

Jesus said it would be the same as in that antediluvian time when He returns in the Second Coming. The minions of Satan will again be in process of contaminating or corrupting human genetics.

God had to judge that world, killing all except Noah and his seven family members, and animals selected from the earth’s animal populations.

The latter-day invasion is manifested–I’m convinced—through the strange, unexplained UFOs, apparitions, stigmata, and other things reported by even quite credible people. Just watch or read of this in the many media outlets available to understand just how much of these things are going on today.

Additionally, we’ve all heard about the recent group of former military people, pilots, scientists and government officials–now retired–who have come forward to try to get out the message that, indeed, these things are being witnessed. Recent reports of UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena) from credible sources make clear that there is an invasion of some dimension likely going on. Mainstream news media and government by and large are still stonewalling efforts to get to the truth about these anomalous matters.

The main point is that this invasion is but one more signal of where we stand on God’s prophetic timeline.

Are there Nephilim–giants, as in the days of the Genesis 6 report–again coming into view? Is there presently luciferian intervention into the very genetic make-up of humankind? I’m of the opinion that the answer is “yes,” at least in that the rulers of the darkness of this world (Ephesians 6:12) are influencing human scientists and others through genetic tampering and other covert projects.

I will speculate a bit here by way of a question or two.

Why is the “son of perdition” declared by Jesus Himself to be lost from the beginning (John 17:12)? Isn’t everyone to have a chance to repent and be saved—to be given their day in court–whether at the bema (judgment seat of Christ) or at the great white throne?

Yet this man of sin–the son of perdition, the Antichrist “Beast” and his sidekick, the False Prophet, are apparently not given their day in court. Both are simply thrown into the lake of fire. They are the first two to be thrown in that eternally burning place of punishment. There will be none other in that place prepared for the devil and his angels until Satan is thrown in that fiery lake at the end of the thousand-year reign of Christ. Then, they will be joined by the billions upon billions of lost souls who are cast in the lake of fire following the great white throne judgment of Revelation 20:11–15.

Here is my speculation, but one based upon a good scriptural foundation, I think.

The beasts described in Revelation chapter 13–both the world leader, who will demand worship, and the False Prophet, who will force people to worship him—might well be without souls, in the sense that human beings have souls. Human souls can be redeemed. Angels cannot be redeemed, once lost–as in the angels who rebelled with Lucifer.

It is prudent to ask if the Antichrist and the False Prophet are the offspring of the angels–are Nephilim, the result of the intermingling of the serpent seed with the seed of human women. Certainly, they will perform great feats as Genesis chapter 6 reports of the angelic/human offspring of the pre-Flood times.

Are Antichrist and the False Prophet to be nephilim?

If I might again interject a brief commercial for Gary Ritter’s and my novel series, The Rapture Dialogues; The Nephilim Imperative; and The Minion Protocols: This area of end-time invasion is what is covered in I believe an informative as well as entertaining way.

I believe you will find the series “fascinating,” as Mr. Spock of Star Trek would say. Although fiction, the series is wrapped in truth from God’s Word—and in Bible prophecy, in particular. These novels may be purchased on Amazon.

However, there is nothing fictional about this invasion of Planet Earth I believe we are experiencing and are about to experience in more dramatic and traumatic ways in this New Year of 2026.

The one invasion, of course, that we who know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord are longing for is the moment He calls from the clouds of Glory. Our “blessed hope” is that our ultimate redemption will happen at any twinkling-of-an-eye moment–the instant of Rapture!

Here is how to instruct everyone we come in contact with to look forward to that blessed invasion from Heaven, rather than the end-times invasion by Satan and his hordes warned about in Revelation chapter 12.

That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)  

Pakistan Ministry Mission Appeal from Terry James

To my Rapture Ready and Prophecyline family: I again solicit your support in spreading God’s Word in Pakistan.

Your generosity in past missionary efforts has just been wonderful beyond measure. I again prayerfully ask that you open your spiritual heart in helping fund the distribution of the books I have given to our pastor in Pakistan to use while he preaches and teaches about our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Anil Jasper translated my little book, Prophecy Power: Strength from God to Face Your Future. He has now also translated into the Urdu language my small book, HeavenVision: Glimpses into Glory.

This is the book in which I describe my widow-maker heart attack on Good Friday of April 22, 2011. In this book, I tell of being somewhere in the heavenly sphere each time my heart stopped. The voluminous documentation of that medical emergency shows why my survival was so unusual that the cardiological association gave me the “Cardiological Patient of the Year” award and asked me to speak at their convention.

Of course, at the heart of my testimony is the salvation message that Jesus alone can save the soul from an eternity apart from God the Father.

The first book Pastor Anil translated, then distributed and continues to distribute to the people of his country, Prophecy Power remains a great witness of Christ’s saving power. HeavenVision will now add a second tool that will help Pastor Anil win souls for God’s eternal family.

I have special permission from my publishers to donate these books to this ministry. I receive no compensation whatsoever from their distribution in Pakistan.

Your donations are essential to carry out this all-important mission. I believe your contributions will result in great heavenly rewards some eternal day when we all come before our Lord at the judgment seat of Christ.

We need funding to print and distribute these books beginning this month.

May the Lord bless you mightily for helping in this mission to the people of Pakistan.

Again, I don’t have a way to accept credit cards or Pay Pal-type contributions. I ask that you send a check to the address below.

Please put in the line at the bottom of your check: “For our Pakistani mission.”

Also, please include your email address so I can thank you individually. Being blind now since I was fifty-one, sending out letters is beyond my ability. But sending emails is easily within my capability, and I certainly want to thank each of you.

Please make the check out to my name–Terry James—and send to:

Terry James Prophecyline

P.O. Box 38

Benton, AR 72018           

Thanks, and God’s Blessings.

Terry 

PS—I am thankful and so pleased to announce that we have received a donation offer that will greatly help in this effort to fund printing and distribution of my books in Pakistan.

A most generous brother in Christ has offered up to $7,500 in matching funds for donations we receive.

In other words, for each donation you send, he will match with an equal amount up to $7,500.

This will greatly bless our effort to provide for the printing and distribution of these two books, each  of which has been translated by Pastor Anil Jasper into his Urdu language.

Thanks to each of you who help reach our goal, which we believe will be sufficient to accomplish this missionary effort in our Lord’s service.

All funds received will be used toward reaching the people of Pakistan with truth from God’s Word.

Please pray for the salvation of souls in this effort.

With most all other prophetic signals in view for the coming Tribulation (Daniel’ seventieth week), it’s more than intriguing that one stage-setting ingredient at the center of that horrendous era seems to be out of sync with developments. Or perhaps the incongruity represents the final element about to be entered into the construction of Antichrist’s power base.

The European Union is in what looks to be a weakening—not an increasingly dominant—state of affairs. The following think piece offers some information about the troubles within this developing power base for the Antichrist regime during the Tribulation:

The European Union (“EU”) is facing criticism and calls for reform or abolition, with Elon Musk recently calling for its abolition and the Trump administration’s national security strategy labeling it a failed project.

There are three distinct camps of commentators on the EU’s future: Europhiles who support the EU, Eurosceptics/Reformists who want to reform it, and EU abolitionists who want to dissolve it.

The reformist camp is strikingly large and contains most of the officially tolerated nationalist movements in the EU.  In the following, J.K. argues for reform. But this reform would be so significant that it would create something new: it would involve a wholesale replacement of the EU and its sister institutions.…

Western political discourse is entering a time of re-evaluation of the core concepts and institutions that have ruled us since the 1950s. The European Union is not above this kind of re-evaluation and the ideological battles over its nature and future are not going to abate any time soon. (“EU Needs Massive Reform: There needs to be a wholesale replacement of the EU and its organisations,” by Rhoda Wilson, The Expose, December 23, 2025)

The troubles range from internal power scuffles to cultural and ideological differences that are so profound as to make future cohesion very unlikely at best, and to cause dissolution of the EU as presently constituted at worst.

At the center of the tumult within the EU seems to be the US and the most, shall I say, interesting president of history. Pressures from the Trump administration seem to be at the heart of movement that is about to force reforms. We will simply have to continue to watch and see with regard to prophetic outcome.

History has proved to the satisfaction of most Bible prophecy scholars that the first four world kingdoms described in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream have come and gone. The Babylonian kingdom was the first. The Medes and Persians comprised the second world empire. The Greek Empire under Alexander the Great was the third. The Roman Empire, which split in two, with capitals in Rome and Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), was the fourth great world kingdom.

One is left to come upon the scene—the final world governmental system represented in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as the feet and toes made of iron mixed with clay. This kingdom, we believe, is far along in the process of coming together today in the form of the European Union. The fifth world empire symbolized in the statue is prophesied to be an extension of the fourth kingdom. That is exactly what the EU is—an extension of the ancient Roman Empire. It is, we are convinced, the feet and toes of the man-image, the reviving of the unity that was once Europe in all its power and glory. Yet, despite the tremendous power the final form of the Roman Empire will have, the clay mixed with iron seems to indicate it will have significant weaknesses.

The European Union is, like America, presently at the forefront of calling for Israel and the Palestinians to come to the peace table. It will be just such a peace negotiation, according to Daniel 9:26–27, out of which will come the “covenant made with death and hell” (Isaiah 28:15, 18). Antichrist, “the prince that shall come,” will personally guarantee that covenant. But the prophetic Word says that “when they shall say peace and safety, then, sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

The Islamic world’s hatred for the Jews and Israel is satanic at its core. No amount of negotiating for peace ever will change that. Israel’s neighbors want the Jewish state forever done away with—expunged from what they consider their land. The Arab leaders, all dictators to one degree or another, must keep the region in foment against Israel to assure that their dictatorships stay in power. The “covenant made with death and hell,” according to Isaiah the prophet, must somehow deal with this great hatred to achieve the false peace of that satanically produced covenant.

The European Union, Antichrist’s future base of authority, is rapidly growing toward its full power that will produce a leader of unprecedented dominance who will bring about that false peace.

The Bible states that seven out of ten “kings” will back a world leader who will forcibly rip power from the other three and give it to himself. With all other prophetic indicators seemingly in full view upon the immediate geopolitical horizon, the EU in turmoil seems to be another profound ingredient that’s been added to the fascinating mix.

Certainly, the current flux affecting the EU represents weakness that looks difficult to overcome.

However, the man of sin will have satanically imbued powers. This will likely include the ability to overcome problems such as those currently observed within his future power base. Meantime, the devil will be in the details of preparing his son of perdition’s platform of tyranny.

So, during the New Year, unless the Rapture preempts our ability to watch from this earthly platform of observation, we will likely see fascinating changes. That is, there will almost certainly be dramatic changes in the European Union model in setting the stage for construction of the world power structure represented in Daniel’s interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (read Daniel chapter 2).

Absolute evil continues to be perpetrated against God’s chosen people. The genocide is so great now on a global scale that it hourly fills headlines of news organizations around the world.

Yet the bloody, murderous actions against the Jewish people are so ubiquitous that sensationalism formerly igniting rage against such evil no longer draws the same level of attention as before. Even the Church seems to relegate the burgeoning anti-Semitism to ho-hum status.

Prophetically, what we’re witnessing is, I’m convinced, the number-one signal of where this generation stands upon God’s last-days timeline. All the anti-Semitism/genocide against Jews points directly at how near we are to the moment when Heaven again begins dealing with Israel by removing the Church from this rebellious planet. God has promised to keep the Church from the time of Jacob’s trouble.

God dealing again with His chosen people is underway at a pace that’s hard to keep up with—even for prophecy watchers. And the one area of that interaction was most recently on display through the satanically incited, murderous, anti-Semitic rampage against the Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah in Australia given in the following report:

The shooting was a “targeted attack” on the Jewish community, with one of the gunmen dead and a second in critical condition in the hospital, according to New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon.

Financial Review reports that Israel has accused the Australian government of having blood on its hands for the Bondi Beach terror attack, as world leaders condemned the deadliest day of violence targeting Jews since the October 7 terror attack in southern Israel two years ago.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had warned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in August that his decision to recognise Palestinian statehood poured “fuel on the anti-Semitic fire”, as he labelled the killing of 11 victims celebrating the start of Hanukkah as “cold-blooded murder”…

Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry went as far as to claim the “blood of the victims is on the hands of the Australian government” because it had not stood with Israel against jihadist terrorism, instead choosing a “policy of weakness, restraint, and appeasement”.

“This reckless policy has direct consequences at home within Australia itself,” the ministry said in a statement.

“The Australian government is doing everything in its power to ensure that Australian Jews cannot live safely, peacefully, and securely as Jews in their own country.” (“Targeted, Anti-Semitism”: 16 Dead, 38 Injured After Father & Son Terrorists Attack Sydney Jewish Celebration,” by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge, December 15, 2025)

This last statement released by Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry is what I’d like to concentrate on, because it gets right to the heart of what is going on prophetically: “The Australian government is doing everything in its power to ensure that Australian Jews cannot live safely, peacefully, and securely as Jews in their own country.”

This is a profound statement; it says with precision what is going on throughout the entire world at this moment.

Whether talking about hate-filled nations of the Middle East that surround Israel, the metropolitan areas of Europe and Asia, or even in the United States of America, like in the case of Australia, governments are ignoring the anti-Semitism that’s growing at an astonishing rate. The terrorists perpetrating these deadly assaults are almost, it seems, being given governmental permission to do their dastardly evil. There is, to those of us who observe from the biblical perspective, the undeniable fact that Jews are being shown the door to exit these hostile cities and countries.

The Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry assessment is absolutely on the mark. The Jewish people are being shown they cannot live safely and securely like Jews can live in Israel. They are thereby, it is obvious, being pushed out of foreign places of their Diaspora.

Now to the crux of what I intend by the harsh title of this article.

Like in the case of the intentions of the brothers of Joseph who set out to sell their brother into Egyptian slavery, this hellish genocide being carried out by Satan’s minions is intended for deadly evil. But, like in the case of Joseph, the God of Heaven intends the evil acts of terror for good.

The situation–forcing all Jewish people to look toward Jerusalem—is a glorious act by God Almighty, because it will lead to God’s chosen people (a remnant thereof) receiving all the blessings promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Lord Jesus will one day sit upon the throne of David atop Mount Zion and reign over and rule the Eden-like refurbished earth!

Here is a relevant Scripture that proves things going on at this very moment:

And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 37:21–23)

Looking at the world around us from so many different viewpoints separates and divides the human community, engendering hatreds, wars, and death. Jesus, speaking on the Mount of Olives one day, prophesied the degree to which the differences would explode in the time just before His return:

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matthew 24:7)

We’ve pointed out often that the word “nation” here is from the Greek word ethnos, translated “ethnic” in English. Jesus was warning that the Tribulation era will produce great hatreds that will be centered on racial and cultural differences of worldview. These unprecedented uprisings of this sort will eventuate in famines and pestilence—the inevitable result of all-out war.

Although this generation is not in the Tribulation era about which Jesus prophesied here, we have diametrically differing worldviews on the national and international scenes that are without question setting the stage for the times Jesus foresaw.

The US is mired in many ethnic problems and cultural differences within the various races themselves. Insistence on embracing multiculturalism by the PC crowd, motivated to their hyper level of championing the melting-pot worldview by mainstream media, throws fuel on the fires of racial divides. The multicultural Nazis want Americans to stay separate, because most of these PC types are socialist-leaning globalists who want us to be citizens of the world rather than citizens of a sovereign nation. Hyphenating, or mixing ethnic with national identities, into unique nomenclature seems designed to make America eventually forfeit national autonomy.

Worldview is being shaped in this nation to reflect the one-world builders’ blueprint for the global village, as one well-known failed presidential candidate put it. The worldview in question has never gone away. It is the perennial worldview that has been with humankind since Nimrod attempted to build the tower to Heaven not long after the Flood of Noah’s day (read Genesis chapter 11). We see that blueprint manifested in the current attempts to bring everyone together in the Middle East–at Israel’s expense, of course.

Jesus also prophesied that humans would get themselves deeper and deeper into trouble, so far as the nation state is concerned, the closer the Second Advent comes.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:25)

There can be little argument against the obvious. Nations are indeed in great distress today, with much perplexity. We don’t have to look at the many nations of earth to prove this. Our own nation is divided right down the middle on most issues of politics and morality. People are so distressed—even perplexed—that many promised to leave the country if they didn’t get their way in presidential election results. Others have written fictional books venting their anger in wishful accounts of the assassination of a president they hate—leading to actual assassination attempts by more than one would-be assassin hate-filled with what has become known as the “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The problems involved all boil down to one issue—worldview.

Any view of life on this planet other than God’s view is—to put it bluntly, but truthfully—wrong, and destined to produce disaster. This is true no matter the area of life. Worldview is all-important in avoidance of trouble and achievement of success. There isn’t space here to go into the many areas in life today to which this truth applies. So, let’s briefly look at one key issue in considering worldview that gets to the crux of the most important prophetic indicator of this late hour. The issue is modern Israel.

The geopoliticians are in perplexity about Israel and its hate-filled enemies. The diplomats have no idea where the anger truly comes from, therefore they can’t begin to understand how to solve the violence and hatred. The world’s diplomats have a worldview—or combination of worldviews—that completely leaves God out of the equation for peace-making. The result has been more than five thousand years of war throughout recorded history. God says, “Be governed by my rules, because I created all that is, and know what is best.” The earthly rulers say, “We can handle it. If there is a God, that God is existential at best. We don’t need or want Him to rule over us.” This doesn’t apply, of course, to Islamic fanatics who slavishly accept the bloody demands of their god to make war.

God says everything is His, including the land of the Middle East He chose to give to the Jews: Israel. The geopoliticians say they will decide who owns the land and who doesn’t. The result: a world that’s quickly moving toward all-out war: Armageddon.

The same error in worldview is within the Church today—i.e., those who have trusted Christ for salvation. The worldview of most mainline denominations today say God is through with Israel. The Church—that worldview proposes—is now the inheritor of all promises that the Lord covenanted with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God is through with Israel, and all about Israel that is in the Bible must be spiritualized, allegorized, or treated as history already accomplished.

Really?

They proclaim–through their worldview—that the Church is going to make the world better and better, until they’ve made it good enough through the political and diplomatic process—in conjunction with religious, do-good projects—for Jesus to come back and take over.

Really?

They aren’t reading the same headlines I am. If the Lord has given up on Israel, then it sure is some coincidence going on. We are expected to believe that Israel just happens to be on the front page headlines every day, in the center of a desperate cry for peace, just like God’s prophetic Word forecast. Worldview is all-important in God’s economy. God’s worldview is–as legendary football coach Vince Lombardi once put it in talking about winning—not everything. It is the ONLY thing!

People throughout the world have been reporting the strange lights from the heavens for millennia. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and most every other civilization and culture have recorded sightings that are unusual.

However, today, an increasing number of anomalous sightings is reported nearly every hour of every day. Many are recorded with and through the ever-improving technologies for catching the UFOs, now called “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs).

The 1947 reports of a crashed extraterrestrial flying disc at Roswell, New Mexico, opened the modern world to setting the stage for what has come since. The movie industry has greatly expanded public awareness of and fascination with the things from “out there” somewhere.

From the 1952 film The Day the Earth Stood Still to the Star Trek TV series and movies and the Star Wars franchise of films, ET, and others to all the recent US governmental probing into all things extraterrestrial, the strange things taking place in the heavens are front and center in the headlines today. Gary Ritter’s and my series of novels beginning with The Rapture Dialogues (hope you will consider getting them on Amazon) is meant to lay out developments in past and coming stellar prophecy unfolding.

One such front-and-center report of things appearing in the skies is presented in the following:

The Mysterious Interstellar Object Appears to Be Pulsing in a “Heartbeat Pattern”

The pattern is repeating every 16 hours.

The mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is just weeks away from reaching its closest point to Earth: it’s expected to pass within just 170 million miles of our home planet on December 19, giving astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to take a closer look as it whizzes past.

As Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb points out in a new blog post, they’ll be building on intriguing existing observations from ground telescopes — including a paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics in October by a team of researchers in Europe and Africa that found signs that it’s radiating a “heartbeat” pulse of light that repeats every 16.16 hours.

While that may sound like an intriguing new fold in Loeb’s longstanding efforts to support the theory that the object could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft visiting the solar system, there’s likely a much more mundane explanation: that it’s spinning, pulsing us with light like an interstellar lighthouse.…

Though most scientists hold that the object is probably a natural comet, Loeb is still holding out hope that 3I/ATLAS’ jets could be technological in nature.

“For a technological object, the direction of the pulsing jet could be arbitrary and not necessarily pointing towards the Sun,” he wrote.

Regardless, getting a better sense of how these pulses change over time could shed more light on the matter. For one, its spin may have changed since it reached its perihelion, or closest point to the Sun, in late October.…

in the published literature,” Loeb wrote. “A movie showing the periodic brightening of the jets around 3I/ATLAS over several days can reveal whether the jets are natural or technological based on the orientation of the heartbeat pattern relative to the Sun.” (“The Mysterious Interstellar Object Appears to Be Pulsing in a “Heartbeat Pattern,” Victor Tangermann, senior editor at Futurism, Rapture Ready News, December 2, 2025)

We recently looked at the following prophecy given by Jesus:

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:25–28)

We previously dealt with the latter part of the prophecy–“nations in distress, with perplexity” and “the sea and the waves roaring.” We looked at all the rioting among the peoples of the US and other tumultuous cities of the planet, and at how the people seem to have been given over to the “reprobate mind” of Romans 1:28.

Now we examine the first part of Christ’s prophecy—”And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” (Luke 21:25a).

Jesus said that as the time of His return to establish His millennial kingdom on earth nears, there would be unusual signs in the heavens.

With reports such as the one above and many others, even if just considering that we now have the technological capability to record them, the words of the Lord certainly ring true. There are indeed “signs in the sun, moon, and stars.”

Undoubtedly, we’ve only begun to see this particular signal of the coming Tribulation and the return of the King of Kings. Such signs will almost certainly increase in the days and nights just ahead.

As I’ve said on many occasions, I believe the reports of the strange sights in the skies are prophetic. They are the warnings Jesus gave. I believe they’re setting the stage for when the False Prophet (Revelation chapter 13) calls down fire from Heaven in the sight of the image of the Beast.

And the signals are for His Second Advent, which, of course, will follow the seven terrible years of Tribulation.

This all means the Rapture of believers from this fallen planet must be so near that we can almost reach out and touch it!

Jesus, again, said: “When you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).

While one is inundated hour after hour, day after day, with the profusion of news from around the world, there is one profoundly important element missing in the reportage.

The troubles, the problems, the carnage, come at us in an avalanche of bad news. At the same time, proposals by governments and by top-flight individuals within the atmospherics of politics and governmental authority promise to solve the deluge of pending catastrophes –promises that never come to fruition.

The element that is left out of the reportage, of the promises, is deafening in its silence. As a matter of fact, this element is the very cause of the pending calamity that hangs above every nation on earth like that Damocles’ Sword of mythology. Except there is nothing mythological about the threat of cataclysm the world –that every nation of Planet Earth—resides under at this present moment.

The threat isn’t from the human dimension or even from the demonic. Here is the threat in a Heavenly Nutshell, without meaning to trivialize its Origin.

“He that rejected me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).

These are the Words of the One who is destined to Judge all the world. To ignore His Words is to invite Calamity beyond all imagination. His name, of course, is Jesus Christ, the Lord of all lords and the King of all kings.

Jesus is The Word (John 1:1).

Every Word Given in God’s Love Letter to mankind –the Holy Bible – was first Uttered in the Heaven of Eternity Past. Every Word in this Holy Volume is Truth that is in the far distant Reaches of Eternity Future.

The Author of this Word –of these Words—is the Creator of all that is. It is this Author who literally Holds the very matter that constitutes what He Created in place. Without Him, nothing could exist that exists.

Nothing, that is, except the evil that came with man’s rejection of God’s Order at the time of Eden.

This evil is the Cause for the catastrophe that hangs above Planet Earth. And we who Watch Prophetic stage-setting for Christ’s Judgment must forewarn all who participate in the rebellion first infused into mankind by the great deceiver –the father of lies—Lucifer the fallen –Satan.

Mankind’s ignoring Heaven’s Influence and Governance by not considering God’s Word –the Words of His Son Jesus –is in danger of Eternal Damnation.

That God’s Holy Word is ignored to this extent around the Globe today is in full display, as the following news item reports.

Nearly Half the World Restricts or Bans the Bible, Report Warns

An analysis by the organization Open Doors revealed that the Bible is banned or restricted in 88 of the world’s 195 countries, meaning that nearly half of all nations limit access to the Holy Scriptures. Among the most serious cases is China, where—despite its image of economic openness—state control, direct government intervention, and social surveillance mechanisms continue to persist.

Additionally, Cardinal Joseph Zen has called on the faithful to “return to the catacombs,” warning that in China, religious worship is not only strictly regulated but that there is also a state-authorized form of worship. The prelate discourages attending these official churches and urges believers to practice their faith freely, remaining “faithful to the truth that makes us free.”

While there are some in Congress who occasionally mention God’s Name or who read a snippet from the Bible, it is rare indeed to find any mention of God’s Word in proposals to fix what ails humanity within the U.S. or around the world.

It is particularly disconcerting to note the absence of mention of the Prince of Peace in all the talk of peace going on at present.

My hope is that this president of the United States lends his ear to those, such as Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee (who understands Bible prophecy and Foretelling involving Israel) when it comes to trying to come up with a peace plan to resolve the millennia-long conflict between God’s chosen people and the surrounding enemy peoples. But if such an ear is given in the Abraham Accords or other peace talks, we aren’t privy to such inside information.

And it is only a peace plan that does not include Israel giving into a 2-state solution that has a chance of success. It is dividing God’s land (the land given Abraham and his progeny through his son Isaac) that will bring all of the nations of earth to mankind’s final war, God’s Holy Word Foretells (Joel 3:2).

Thinking on the ignoring of God’s Word, there is a serious dearth of putting forth that Word within much of the Christian churches at present. Rarely in the pulpits of America is there a ringing declaration of Truth from Scripture laying out the wickedness of societies and cultures.

There is, however, an overabundance in too many cases of messaging about how to get along with environments surrounding everyday life. i.e., teaching how to not rock the proverbial boat, so as to not disrupt personal and/or church tranquility. –Teaching that ignores the primary Purpose of the church –of Christianity—that without adhering to God’s Word and Acceptance of Jesus Christ in all His Truth, the individual and the world are destined to Eternal destruction.

Jesus Christ will one Eternal Day be the Judge of all who reject His Word. We who name His Holy Name must proclaim Him now, while He Offers Salvation from the sin that Forever separates fallen mankind from the Heavenly Father.

Jesus said: “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me…” (John 14:6).

This is the one Statement by the Lord Jesus that must not be ignored. For to do such will bring the ultimate calamity down in the form of God’s Judgment and Wrath –either upon the individual or the nation that does the ignoring.

Here again is how to obey rather than ignore God’s Call, through His Son’s Sacrifice on the cross at Calvary for Redemption.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

As the former president and presidential candidate spoke to a large rally gathering at Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, 6 rifle shots rang out. Donald J. Trump immediately fell to the platform floor and then stood, his fist pumping in the air. He shouted, “Fight, Fight, Fight!” while blood poured from his head. But it was not a JFK-type wound. The former president’s ear had been struck by the high-power bullet meant to kill him.

Even Mr. Trump himself has stated that he knew that God had spared his life that evening. He has stated that he felt as if a gigantic, invisible hand had slapped him to the floor following the rifle shot, while others were wounded and one person was killed.

The incident, no doubt, was part of the catalyst for galvanizing the vote on election day in putting him back in office as President number 47.

In my view, the assassination attempt was the resultant effort at murder of the one person those desirous of protecting their base of control couldn’t allow back into the most powerful political office on the planet. And I believe that a spiritual assessment of matters points out that the effort had demonic influence at the Ephesians 6:12 level. But Heaven’s Protective Secret Service obviously negated the intrigues of that cabal of powers and principalities in high places. 

God raises kings, and he brings them down, the scripture tells us (Daniel 2:21). Donald J. Trump, no matter what you think of his being in office, was God’s choice in the 2024 presidential election in the United States. Not even satanic power could prevent the man’s reassuming that office.

Anyone who is honest in their assessment must see the never-ending assaults from every possible angle of attack. It seems only a matter of time until another deadly assassination attempt is forthcoming.

However, in the meantime, the same wickedness in high places–the powers and principalities—continue to do all they can, using human minions within that dark cabal to oppose God’s choice for the office at this moment. The rage to establish Satan’s man on the throne of world power won’t cease. Such established power will eventually be achieved, and the results will be seven years of hell on earth.

But one can sense in process a different tactic used by the prince of this world to continue the assault on this president. And the attack, in my view, again involves Donald Trump’s ear.

It is a slower process than was the .223 round that cut through his ear in Butler, Pennsylvania that evening of July 13, 2023. But the assault entering his ear at this time can be witnessed slowly doing its damage. The results of the attack might well prove far more deadly in damage in terms of prophetic import. As a matter of fact, the president’s ear might play a significant role in the wrap-up of this end-times era –these last of the last days.

The assault being waged is seen most pointedly in Mr. Trump’s desire and attempt to bring about peace. Jesus Himself has said: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” So the desire to bring peace is a noble gesture. And I have no doubt that this is the president’s motive –to bring about peace to the most dangerous region of the planet in terms of possibly igniting nuclear conflict and even World War III.

But there is a peace which God’s Prophetic Word says will be deadly.

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many…” (Daniel 8:25c).

This is the Peace that Antichrist will falsely promise to Israel. It will be the false peace that will bring Satan’s man, the beast, to power during the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week).

So this deadly peace revolving around God’s chosen nation, Israel, is the major factor I wish us to consider. It involves the assault we can perceive as the ongoing satanic attack on the president’s ear. This time, on Mr. Trump’s ear-gate into his thinking –his thinking particularly on the most relevant element wrapped up in prophecy that Foretells the fate of all nations of the world upon the killing field called Armageddon.

Here is the prophecy about where that future false peace will lead.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land” (Joel 3:2).

President Trump, those who Watch as Jesus Commanded as given in Mark 13:37 notice has a desire to make peace even at the price of giving up part of Israel’s land. The process has him seemingly listening to voices other than the Voice of the One who returned him to the presidency. A recent example is when the reigning monarch of Saudi Arabia visited the White House.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) was being disingenuous whilst sitting in the White House with President Trump on 18 November.

MBS told the assembled Press Corps:

“We want to be part of the Abraham Accords, but we want also to be sure that we secure a clear path of two-state solution. And today we have a healthy discussion with Mr. President that we’re going to work on that to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible to have that.”

President Trump pointedly disagreed with MBS’s summation:

“I think we’re — you know, I don’t want to use the word commitment, but we’ve had a very good talk on the Abraham Accords. We talked about one-state, two-state — you know, we talked about a lot of things; in a short period of time we’ll be discussing it further, too. But I think you have a very good feeling toward the Abraham Accords.”

More and more in his dealings with the peace matter involving Israel, the president leaves open the thought that a 2-state solution might be offered within his Abraham Accords. In this, he is listening to the wrong voices who seem to have his ear –his ear-gate to his thinking. This spiritual projectile of peace proposal suggestion is far more deadly than the literal round that damaged his physical ear that evening as he spoke.

We who understand where a two-state dividing of God’s Land will lead must say to President Trump the following:

Mr. President, we implore that you let those such as Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Dr. Robert Jeffress, and Dr. John Hagee, and others who understand Bible prophecy have your ear. Listen to these voices rather than to the voice of the one who comes only to steal, and to kill, and destroy–the evil one whose man of sin –Antichrist—awaits in the shadows of history yet future.

One prophetic element stands out in considering the seven-year Tribulation era regarding the Antichrist regime. That is the economic platform prophesied to be at the heart of the Beast system.

With so many signals in view that point to the brewing Tribulation tempest, we should expect—if we’re reading the end-times signals correctly—that this heart of the Beast should be well along in its construction. We’ve covered all the indicators found within current issues and events that we believe are signals like those given by Jesus and the prophets. National and world economies have been dealt with in our efforts to make prophetic sense of the dynamic rearrangements taking place in recent times.

America’s staggering weight of debt and threat of economic decline, despite the Trump administration’s determination and successful efforts to begin restoring fiscal responsibility and produce recovery, is front and center in pointing to the fact that this is the generation that stands at the end of one dispensation (the Church Age) and upon the precipice of the next (the Tribulation). Each hour seems to bring additional confirmation that the Tribulation storm is about to break upon an uncomprehending world. We see such confirmation in abundance in the realm of geopolitics and global economics.

Since Bible prophecy clearly says the Antichrist government, thus the economic engine that will power that absolute dictatorship, will emerge from Europe, we need to keep our prophetic antennae pointed in that direction. In other words, we must be especially alert to news involving movement within Europe to cause significant changes to the global economic structure.

The following excerpt from the European Union hierarchy registers an interesting blip on my own end-times radar screen.

“Geopolitical shifts and heightened policy uncertainty remind us that no currency’s global position is guaranteed,” Christine Lagarde told EU policymakers…

The European Union must “do its homework” and seize the unprecedented opportunity to strengthen the global role of the euro at the expense of the US dollar, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde urged on Monday.

Speaking to the European Parliament’s economy committee, the ECB chief said that current geopolitical instability provides EU policymakers with a “unique opportunity … to strengthen the euro’s role on the global stage”.

“The world is in transition,” Lagarde added. “Geopolitical shifts and heightened policy uncertainty remind us that no currency’s global position is guaranteed. It has to be earned.”

The remarks come as US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and attacks on the US Federal Reserve’s independence have sparked deep investor unease about the future of the US dollar, which has dominated global finance since the end of the Second World War…

Many non-Western countries, including the ‘BRICS’ group of nations – which includes China and Russia – have [like the EU] sought to “de-dollarise” the global payments system in recent years, despite Trump’s threats to impose 100% tariffs on nations seeking to move away from the US dollar.

A more “global” euro would allow businesses, households, and governments in the 20-country single currency area to enjoy lower borrowing costs, Lagarde said – much as global demand for dollar-denominated assets has afforded Washington the “exorbitant privilege” of consistently low interest rates despite years of widening budget deficits.

But for this to be achieved, “Europe must do its homework and strengthen its foundations” by integrating capital markets, safeguarding central bank independence, deepening trade links with third countries, developing a “digital euro” that isn’t dependent on US payment infrastructure, and issuing a “safe and liquid pool of EU public debt,” Lagarde said.

“The euro can be more than the currency of a continent and a symbol of unity; it can become a global anchor of trust,” she said, adding that the bloc’s policymakers should help “transform that vision, that dream into a reality.” (“EU must seize ‘unique opportunity’ to supplant US dollar dominance, says ECB president,” https://www.euractiv.com)

Prophecy scholars and others have long pondered why the US, the most powerful nation in history, isn’t mentioned by name—or even by significant reference—in God’s Word. We continue to flounder in attempts at finding an exact answer for that question. However, with the recent astonishing changes nationally and abroad, the answer seems to be in the process of forming.

Monetary manipulation is at the root of the change taking place. The American dollar must be removed as the currency standard so that a global currency not underwritten by any national monetary unit can be established. This is precisely the Beast economic order I’m convinced Bible prophecy describes as outlined in the following:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Rev. 13:16-18)

This speaks to me of a computer system—a hybrid Internet whereby all citizens of the global economic order will be absolutely controlled at every level of life. Probably, it will consist at its heart of electronic funds transfer (EFT)–a system of special drawing rights (SDR)—all governed, no doubt, by an ultra-advanced AI technology along with Antichrist’s demonic evil. Anyone refusing to toe the mark of the Antichrist’s regime will face having his or her SDR account blocked or entirely removed from the system. Fear of starvation is a mighty motivator to comply.

Pressures are mounting for a completely changed global economic order. Even the king of the kings of the East, China, is at the center of the dynamics driving the changes.

Most economists who are honest will admit that the current building economic heap of debt cannot continue to accumulate. They are amazed, in fact, that everything hasn’t already collapsed into total, worldwide depression. I again offer my belief that it will be the Rapture that causes the ultimate implosion and collapse.

The great world leader called “the Beast” in Revelation will be there to implement a satanically inspired economic scheme that will at first offer hope; it will, for a time, “cause craft to prosper” (Daniel 8:25). But Antichrist’s plan will achieve what it will be designed to do: enslave most of the world in electronic bondage.

Jesus offers the opposite of what the counterfeit, Antichrist, will produce. Jesus promises: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). We must at every opportunity lift up the Holy name of Jesus before the eyes of a world headed into the terrors of the Tribulation.

“Peace” is a word whose true definition has eluded this planet since the time recorded in Genesis 3:6–7:

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

The cry for peace is futile, in the human sense, because since the disobedience in the Garden of Eden, humankind has continued to descend more deeply into sin. The heart is deceitful above all things, the Bible says, and desperately wicked. Therefore, there is, rather than tranquility within the lost human soul, warfare that is never ending: “[There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked” (Isaiah 48:22). And, James the apostle says: “From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?” (James 4:1).

The prophet Isaiah spoke to Israel and—through his God-given words—the whole human race:

The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. (Isaiah 59:8)

So, in this time of the season when many across the world (although I concede it’s a diminishing number of people) use the phrase, “Peace on earth, good will to men,” let us think a moment on peace.

We recall the grainy, black-and-white newsreel of Britain’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain waving a document containing the peace arrangement he had just made with the German Führer, Adolf Hitler. Chamberlain said at that time that the agreement guaranteed that there would be “peace in our time.”

Those who know the history of the time know that almost before the ink on the pact was dry, Hitler ordered the first attack that began bringing the whole world to war.

There came a time when Japan surrendered, and General Douglas MacArthur declared the matters of World War II concluded. But the issue of warfare was and remains far from concluded. Many thousands of Americans, not to mention people from other nations, have since lost their lives in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and numerous other far-flung areas around the world.

Today, the world’s diplomats, news cameras, and microphones are focused on the most problematic spot on earth regarding the threat of the possible ignition of World War III. It is the same area where true PEACE will one day break out. But, for now, it is the lack of the humanistic version of peace in the Holy Land that is the cause of angst for earth’s powers that be. God’s prophet, Ezekiel, spoke to the dearth of peace involving God’s chosen nation:

[To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 13:16)

No matter which direction we glance today, evidence of earth-quivering anxiety mounts. This is at present, more than at any time in recent memory, a world without peace. The seas and waves are roaring, the nations are in distress with perplexity, precisely like Jesus said they will be when He breaks in upon a sinful, incorrigibly wicked world of earth-dwellers.

The Middle East is, as it has been perennially, in a failed peace process. Terroristic threats never cease to plague Israel. And terrorism is a spreading infection that has invaded most all of Europe and now threatens America’s major cities.

There is no peace because government leaders concentrate on acquiring and increasing authority to control, financial leaders and the money powers strive to attain more wealth by whatever means necessary, and most of the rest of humanity looks in every direction except toward Heaven for the peace they cannot find.

Religions of earth, too, are in turmoil, proclaiming that they are peaceful while at the same time they are hating each other. The religionists are making efforts to establish their own brand of peace through ecumenism. Certain of some who claim to have Christ at their center have joined the ecumenical movement toward establishment of a religious conglomerate within which all can live in peace.

PEACE–true PEACE—however, is in fact already here upon this troubled sphere. It came in the form of a Baby nearly two thousand years ago. We will celebrate His birthday this December 25. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, in truth IS here in the forever of eternity past and the forever of eternity future. He is the great I AM who is here in the present, and who chose to come in the flesh to suffer and die, then to resurrect so that fallen men, women, and children can be given the PEACE the human soul of each person on the planet must have to be resurrected from the death sin wrought.

Jesus ascended to the throne room of Heaven and is coming again:

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my father is greater than I. (John 14:27–28).

Rejoice! Take heart! Lift up your head and watch. PEACE will yet have the victory upon Planet Earth!

Upon gathering results of the off-year election held Tuesday November 4, the thought came that the spiritual infection Paul wrote about was on display. In consideration of all the top officials who were elected in the blue states—that is, considering what they stand for and propose—no other conclusion can be reached. We are confronted with a large portion of American citizenry that is being turned over to God’s judgment Paul termed “the reprobate mind.” (I refer to the voters who manifest this reprobate mindset.)

The radical element within the political party that dominated with victories in New York City, Minneapolis, and the state of Virginia clearly won the day. These purveyors of anti-God policy proposals and implementation defy all reasonable rationale. They display disdain for most all forms of religious governance—other than championing radical Islam—and defy fundamentalist Americanism as given us by our founding fathers.

They embrace chaos and suppression of law enforcement that is established to protect the law-abiding. The mindset they project in loud, rebellious, riotous behavior goes against the domestic tranquility expressed in the Constitution’s Preamble—the Constitution that guaranteed us the republic Benjamin Franklin once said he and the founders had given us…if we could keep it. 

There is a profound question of whether we can keep this great experiment in liberty called America.

My friend Dr. David Reagan, founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries and Christ in Prophecy TV, in recently addressing the satanic assault on our nation, put it this way in framing Paul’s “reprobate mind” (Romans 1: 28) as a “depraved mind.”

Currently, we are a nation in full-scale revolt against our Creator, who has been the source of all our national blessings. I am reminded of what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said when he was asked what happened to Russia that led to 70 years of Communist dictatorship. His response was short and to the point: “We forgot God.”…

Our nation is facing a cloud of gloom and doom, but there is a silver lining. Jesus said that in the end times, right before His return, the world will become as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). If you will take a look at the Bible’s description of those days in Genesis 6, you will see that they were characterized by two things: immorality and violence. We have arrived.

The bloody assassination of a devoted follower of Christ, Charlie Kirk, who wanted only a return to godliness for his nation, leaves no doubt that we are indeed in violent times like those foretold by Jesus (Luke 17:26–27).

The just-elected mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has stated he is in favor of limiting law enforcement through decriminalizing certain acts of criminality, defunding police, and other methodologies. In this he is in perfect alignment with the radical segment of his political party. Additionally, he supports that party’s position in abortion and says he will support legalizing prostitution. It is more than interesting that Mamdani has proclaimed proudly and loudly that he is a Muslim as new mayor of the city where—only a short distant from his making the claim—nineteen radical Islamist terrorists crashed passenger jets into the World Trade Center towers, murdering nearly three thousand people, including thousands of New Yorkers.

He was cheered loudly upon that proclamation and the repeating of a phrase about Marxist socialism by long-ago Marxist-socialist candidate for president of the United States Eugene V. Debs. Debs, a man imprisoned for un-American activities during the Woodrow Wilson administration, ran a number of times while lauding the Marxist line, including running once while imprisoned. When Mamdani brought up his name in his acceptance rant, the crowd exploded in wild cheering, even though probably almost none had even heard Debs’ name before.

The reprobate mindset is in full bloom within the major cities of the United States. To cheer the Marxist ideology, an avowed anti-God man whose evil philosophy and ideology inspired the Russian Revolution and led Lenin (who brought Communism that has murdered many millions of its victims), proves the “depraved” or “reprobate” mind of Romans 1:28 is in full bloom in America today.

The nation is, as Solzhenitsyn said of the Russia from which he escaped, in danger of forgetting God.

In this vein, it is sad but truthful to have to say that the reprobate mindset, the anti-God mindset, is already in place among many of this nation and world. Those left behind following the Rapture will be ripe for Antichrist’s big lie–the great delusion of 2 Thessalonians.

But all of this means, as Dr. Reagan has written, that:

…Jesus is about to break from the heavens. It’s the reason Adrian Rogers used to preach, “The world is growing gloriously dark.” It is also why Jan Markell often says, “The world is not falling to pieces. Rather, the pieces are all falling into place.”

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
