Minneapolis saw it in 2020 with George Floyd, and lo and behold, that same spirit reigns again in my hometown. This time, the accused are ICE agents doing their job. And well. The Antichrist won’t have to rent-a-mob—and be assured, many rioters are hired guns making good wages. When he reigns, much of the world will be lawless, godless, tumultuous, and confused. Antifa will be the normal! Anti-ICE demonstrations will be mild in comparison.

There was much cheering for evil in 2025. Yes, the Bible says that in the last days, evil will wax worse and worse (II Timothy 3:13) so why are we surprised? Hamas was cheered. So was Zohran Mamdani. How nutty is this? Mamdani is preparing the world for the Antichrist! Somalis financially raided my home state of Minnesota and the Left celebrated their evil accomplishments and lies. Leftists thought Charlie Kirk's murder was just fine. Some celebrated. Luigi Mangioni, who killed a healthcare executive in cold blood, is a modern-day hero to some. Jews were set on fire in Colorado. OK by some.

Our world is getting worse. At first we might think, Who would want to be an end-times Christian? However, we have been called for such a time as this, and we are here on assignment! It is a privilege and a challenge to be alive in these days. We have a front-row seat to the last act. The drama has become intense. The players are all in place. The stage is being set. And you can’t understand the times without developing a biblical perspective that helps to shine the light of God’s truth on everything.

Young people are particularly drawn to artificial intelligence. Some of them will tell you that they can get an answer more quickly from a search engine or Alexa than they can get from God. Who needs God in an age of artificial intelligence? A.I. is almost all-knowing. And these technologies will tell you what you want to hear in technicolor, 3-D, and in an instant.

I never thought that I would get worn out, exhausted, and depleted from warning the clueless that time is running out. This is a new level of delusional thinking that life will only get better despite all the biblical warnings. It’s all falling apart, folks, so that last day’s issues can fall into place!

Sadly, some will never accept your warnings. Some choose to remain clueless. Some will cut you off, weary of your mantra. They will face the agonies of the Tribulation, but they were warned. The first warning should be about salvation and eternal life. The second assignment in my world is to get the naysayers to look up and await His return.

I spoke against the “church growth movement.” I wasn’t fond of The Purpose Driven Life. I publicly questioned Pastor Rick Warren for calling Bible prophecy a waste of time that would distract you from your purpose. I came against contemplative prayer and so-called Christian Yoga. And plenty of people got mad at me! That other network I referenced melted down, probably because I dared to name names.

Have you had enough yet? Violence and lawlessness seem out of control. Senseless violence. Snipers unleashing bullets carved with evil messages on them! Who thinks this way? The line-up of atrocities never ends. An innocent Ukrainian woman coming home from her pizza job, casually scrolling on her phone on a train in North Carolina, is stabbed to death by a demonized thug. She had left war-torn Ukraine for the supposed safety of America. Yet a monster lurked in the shadows and ended her young life. And it was all captured on camera.

I have often apologized that whenever you hear about Minneapolis, it is in conjunction with a tragedy or debauchery. But why? Is it strictly because the Bible says that “In the last days, evil will wax worse and worse”? (II Timothy 3:13). That verse sure comes to my mind almost daily! And without a doubt, it plays a big role.

Twice in May, monsters attacked innocent Jews, driven by the Muslim mantra to “free Palestine.” Many are asking if these events, which were preceded by intensified anti-Israel and antisemitic activity worldwide, are a harbinger of things to come? Will such hate-driven activity, perpetrated by copycats or just plain demented people, continue to proliferate?

Sometime in the last 25 – 30 years, the church took its attention off of the incredible message that the King is coming. The days are gone when to be an evangelical Christian was nearly synonymous with being pro-Israel and pro-prophecy. It’s a new day and not a happy one. What incredible times we live in—like no previous generation. The world is heading pell-mell for a conclusion, and today there is a classic yawn within the church.

Hating Jews is the oldest pastime. It’s the oldest hatred. It not only never dies, it gets worse every year. That is evident from the carnage on October 7, 2023, near Gaza. Not everyone will even finish reading this article. It is just of little interest to many. Or, they have sympathy for Hamas. The Holocaust is ancient history—and yet it keeps resurfacing in different times and places.

We are all thankful for the many actions of the new administration to rein in evil, waste and corruption! But even better news than this is that God has given us a wonderful promise: Jesus is preparing a place for us and will take us there to be with him forever.

In reality, globalism is about powerful leaders and organizations making decisions about how they believe the world should be run. They use their authority and resources to implement ideas and programs that supposedly are for the good of all, but ultimately, call for forced compliance or undermine human autonomy and freedom. And whether these power brokers know it or not, ultimately, they are paving the way for the future antichrist.

The world is a sinking Titanic ripe for judgment, not Garden of Eden perfection. Jesus will take dominion over the cleansed earth. For men to speak of doing that before the judgment of this earth is spiritually arrogant and ignorant.

As we head into the new year, several stories transpired at the end of 2024 that we weren’t expecting. The world watched in disbelief as the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which had ruled Syria for over five decades, collapsed in a shockingly rapid and dramatic turn of events.

Millions of people have been falsely influenced by the soothsayers and nutty prophets who claim to know what’s coming. I’ve got news for them—only the Bible has the scoop. I think 2025 could see the most stunning line-up of fulfilled Bible prophecy—ever. When looking at what’s lining up, how can one come to any other conclusion?

I’m not waiting for the Antichrist. I’m waiting for Jesus Christ. And that is due, in part, to the ministry of Hal Lindsey. His books and television program carefully outlined Dispensational Theology, also called left behind theology—named after the famous book series. 

They took giant leaps forward with their September Pact for the Future but were dealt a setback with the election of Donald Trump. Yuval Noah Harari called Trump's victory a "death blow" to the new global order. He warned that Trump's nationalism poses an existential threat to globalism. Their heads are spinning and exploding! Which is it? Nothing can stop the sprint towards Revelation 13.

Many Jews just lack a loyalty to Judaism and Israel. They actually have MORE loyalty to liberalism than to the Jewish State or their heritage. Secularism leads to terrible choices!

We are in an all-out war. A spiritual war. Christians are fair game. Islam, Mohammed, and the Koran are not. But even nonChristians could not help but comment on the fact that rituals and ceremonies were suspiciously dark and even Satanic. It wasn’t subtle. It was blatant— in your face. It isn’t enough for people to just revel in the darkness, they want to showcase it on the world’s stage and celebrate it.

All of this was slow and subtle, but over twenty years, the destruction in today’s church is so grievous that many write this ministry and say they have given up on church. While we don’t recommend that, it should be obvious that things are not what they used to be, and those disillusioned with church should not be casually dismissed.

When 2024 dawned, now so many months ago, very few could have seen the turmoil that lay ahead. It’s just as well. Only God can handle foreknowledge, and since He knows the end from the beginning, nothing catches Him by surprise. He doesn’t orchestrate chaos, but He allows it so that we can have wake-up calls and keep eternity in perspective.

"The demise of America will be by the hands, or the lack thereof, of the church," Hibbs challenged. "It is the hour of the pastor to stand up and proclaim the truth without apology. Unless pastors wake up and do it now, then we are going to catapult this nation into a pit of darkness that is going to be unlike anything this nation has ever seen—and it will be something that it cannot recover from."

"90% of us know that's almost laughable. But remember, America still gives Israel $3 billion dollars," Markell noted. "What are you going to say to the President of the country that gives that little nation $3 billion dollars? You're going to say, 'Thank you.'"
