However Positive, God’s Golden Age Will Not Come About Through Efforts Made In Washington D.C.

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.

Pursuing A Godless One-World System: The Agenda Behind Globalism Is Far From Innocent

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.

‘Kingdom Now?’: Today’s Self-Appointed Prophets And Apostles Need A Reality Check

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.

Damascus, Drones, And Scandal: An End Of The Year No One Could Have Anticipated

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.

Markell: 2025 Could See A Stunning Convergence Of Bible Prophecy

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?

Markell: How Hal Lindsey Encouraged Me To Prepare Others For The Trumpet To Sound

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. 

God’s Intervention And The Sprint Towards The Antichrist — Top Ten Bible Prophecy Stories of 2024

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.

Why Are Many Jews Loyal To A Party That Has Long Been Against Israel?

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!

The Secular World Is Cheering For The Arrival Of The ‘Man Of Lawlessness’

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.

Jan Markell: What Happened To My Church?

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.

Jan Markell: The World Is Living On Borrowed Time

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.

Trusted Ministries Warn Pulpits, ‘America Is Doomed Unless The Church Wakes Up And Steps Up’

"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."

Netanyahu Knows Israel Is Marginalized Under Biden, But Has No Choice Other Than To Say ‘Thank You’

"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.'"

Jan Markell: Do We Have Time To Make America Great Again?

For now, the whole country has dodged a bullet. God surely had mercy. But will He allow time to make America great again? It's a catchy campaign slogan, but is it reality in light of God's end-time planned scenario?

The Church Age Is Winding Down—And The World Is Running Out Of Time

I have been watching the so-called signs of the times for a few decades. Nothing compares to the last five to ten years. Events have been stunning and game-changing.

Indifference Toward Israel And Bible Prophecy Wields Dangerous Ramifications

How convenient of the enemy to blur the sound theology behind true Dispensationalist teaching and get people wondering if all prophecy is history, the Church is Israel, and we are deluded if we think our “purpose” is to believe sound prophecy teaching when that is but a diversion.

Slumbering Preachers Need To Wake Up To The Reality That The King Is Coming

Bible prophecy is given as a light shining in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19). Talking about it should not instill fear in the Christian; rather, provide confirmation that the “blessed hope” is ever nearer and the time ever shorter to snatch people from the fire.

Are The Jewish People Being Set Up For The Ultimate Betrayal?

This is the classic set-up right now! A charismatic man is waiting in the wings. He will seduce the “left behind” world, but he will mesmerize many Jews because they are being primed to be told that a benevolent dictator is their best friend and will never betray them--ever.

A Chronicle of Apathy: When World Leaders Looked The Other Way During The Holocaust

For the first time in the bloodstained history of the human race, a decision was birthed in a modern state, in the midst of a civilized continent, to track down, register, mark, isolate, dispossess, humiliate, concentrate, transport, and murder every single person of an ethnic group as defined by the perpetrators.

Markell: We Are Under Siege Like Never Before

I have watched Bible prophecy attacked, scorned, mocked, criticized, and improperly taught for a lot of years. There has been overwhelming confusion about the last days. Again, that is predicted, so no surprise (II Peter 3:3–7).

Artificial Intelligence: Are We ‘Summoning Up Demons’?

AI cannot speak anything into existence or give anyone eternal life. It cannot give anyone comfort, guidance, or offer anyone peace or hope. It cannot still the wind or calm the sea. It is more like Frankenstein than like God.

Markell: We Can Only Tolerate Looking Around If We Also Look Up

The end is near is not a saying on a sandwich board worn by some homeless person marching down Main Street. Rather, it is the hope of the believer. Most people call it the Rapture. And no, it’s not an escape hatch.

Does Pope Francis Have All The Markers Of An Apocalyptic Figure?

Pope Francis has spoken at the White House, Congress, and the U.N. pushing climate change and “sustainable development” which is again all about global government! One has to wonder where he fits the gospel into his agenda. It doesn’t appear as though it does. One writer calls him a “wolf in Pope’s clothing.”

I Never Thought I Would See The Day… When Our World Would Be Upside Down

I could go on for endless pages with further examples, sadly. The Bible is blunt that the last days would be perilous and filled with unruly and selfish people. It says society would be “given over” (Romans 1). We just didn’t think it would be this bad. 

Jan Markell: God Is Calling The Jews Home To Israel To Complete His End-Time Plan

How and why would they give up the good life in the West, a life of prosperity and comfort, and go back to the land of Israel? Then came this headline in The Times of Israel during the Israel-Hamas war: Dear Diaspora Jews: It’s Over.
