A common question in the prophecy community as to our times is, “Why are we still here?” It’s a good question. With the rapid convergence of so many last days’ signs, we should be filled with hopeful expectation of Jesus’ return. In 2026, watch the following. They are just ten prominent markers as to how late it is.
1 — The continued rush to globalism. Marco Rubio gave a compelling speech back in February about the perils of becoming citizens of the world. Many listened. The globalists pushed back and continue to praise their love for one-worldism. But we can’t stop what’s coming. The Antichrist will run a one-world system, and almost everything is in place. The globalist idea will be painted as the one thing that will solve the world’s problems. No more wicked regimes if the world is united! Rubio and others have brilliantly warned us, but the rush to globalism is on!
2 — Watch for a greater stirring of the masses due to the increase of the spirit of the Antichrist. I lived it in the winter of 2026 here in Minneapolis as radicals rioted against ICE, and in 2020 the chaos due to the George Floyd ordeal. I’ve seen one medium-sized city reduced, in part, to ashes because of demonic lawlessness. In carnal man, if they do not get their way, laws are tossed, and anarchy is celebrated. As I’ve said many times, the Antichrist won’t have to renta-mob. Violence will be the new global normal. I’ve watched it up close and personal. The Tribulation will set a new gold standard when it comes to violence.
3 — Iran is destabilizing the world, but the ruthlessness of the Mullahs is being challenged by an American President in cooperation with Israel. Just know that Iran is not going away, nor is her evil intent. She is the prominent player in the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog War. She may be weakened and more nukes may be demolished, but she will rise from the ashes to invade Israel to seize a spoil (Ezek. 38:10-13). God will defeat Persia (Iran), Turkey, Russia, and other invaders on the mountains of Israel. Also, remember that Israel must dwell “securely” (Ezek. 38:11) in the last days without bars or gates. Neutralizing Iran will help bring this about even though it is temporary.
4 — Let me expound a bit on the biggest story of the last few years, and will be going forth. We need to keep alert for more antisemitism on the right, such as Tucker Carlson, and more global Jew-hatred. Jews admit they feel safe almost nowhere. They are fleeing to Israel, which is hardly the safest place on earth! They are even fleeing New York under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an anti-Israel Communist and jihadist. Almost half of young Republicans surveyed see Jews as a threat to the American way of life, having been influenced by the Tucker Carlson’s and Candace Owens’. Among many on the left of all ages, the Jews and Israel are the root of all evil.
5 — Watch Turkey. She is micro-managing Syria, destroying the good guys in Syria, and readying for her major role in Gog-Magog. President Erdogan is the most dangerous Middle East player and promoter of the future global Islamic Caliphate. Once he conquers Syria, he will move on to Iraq and maybe even Iran. He is underestimated and should not be! Once Iran is neutralized, Erdogan may become the most prominent Mid-East leader next to Netanyahu.
6 — We are all mindful of the verse in the Bible, that the “heart is deceitful and desperately wicked” (Jer. 17:9). Nothing should surprise us, yet the details of the Jeffrey Epstein case defy imagination. We should prepare for more shock. Our days are compared to those of Noah’s day. Aberration, violence, wickedness, love growing cold, and betrayal, are common similarities.
What did you think the last days would look like? Expect this to accelerate in the coming months and years. And, the celebration of the unnatural with the trans agenda. Folks are being jailed for “transphobia” or for praying outside abortion factories. The 2026 Super Bowl halftime program with the bizarre “Bad Bunny” performance sums up the debauchery of our times, and the love of that kind of evil.
7 — Watch for A.I. to make stunning progress! We will soon have the church of A.I. It will be made god-like and will be the Antichrist’s chief tool. A new A.I. religion is being formed. Just like the Nazis needed the IBM punch card system, the Antichrist will need Artificial Intelligence to run his twisted empire. But we are summoning demons when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. We are playing with fire. Along with the rebirth of Israel, Artificial Intelligence is truly the second greatest end-time accelerant.
8 — In 2025, a stunning new development took place when President Trump announced his Board of Peace. I have written about it extensively. The Bible describes a future period in which authority is concentrated not solely in traditional kingdoms, but in a limited number of powerful figures who operate beyond national boundaries. And that is why I am paying close attention to President Trump’s Board of Peace. As I’ve previously stated, most are kings without kingdoms. Keep a close eye on this in 2026.
9 — The rise of Islam in America is staggering. I live among 100,000 Somalis and have written that I live in Mogadishu on the Mississippi, Minneapolis, MN. A hardened Muslim is Mayor of America’s largest city, Zohran Mamdani. Islam is targeting Texas almost as their U.S. caliphate. Cities like Dearborn, MI are re-named Dearbornistan. This is serious! The mind of the true Islamist makes us all unsafe, including our churches that are a target.
10 — The most underrated story of the 21st century is the destruction of Christian communities around the world. Communism and Islam are the perpetrators. This will accelerate in 2026. Thanks to President Trump, American troops are on the ground in Nigeria to prevent a genocide there. But that’s just one of twenty hot spots.
These are ten scenarios to watch in 2026 as we await His return. They are all a part of the overall “convergence” of signs that we are running out of time, and that a trumpet and a shout are forthcoming! The King is coming. Most of the world, and the church, has eyes wide shut. We are thankful that our readers have eyes wide open!
