I recently received an email from a woman who detailed how her church has become hostile to those of us anticipating Jesus’ return. Scoffers increase every year as we get closer to Christ's return—despite the signs of the times exploding, which should serve as a wake-up call for how late the hour is. The email I received also described denigrating names that were being given to people like her who were looking up, awaiting Jesus’ return—names like “End Times Eddie,” “Apocalyptic Anita,” or “Doom and Gloom June.” I wish I were making this up! This is just one more church saying, “Come Lord Jesus… but not too soon.”
But now this theology—since it represents the truth—is under brutal attack. And wouldn't you know, Tucker Carlson has provided the platform to trash it. His guest, J.D. Hall, denigrates Christian Zionism, as does Tucker Carlson, who insists "a lot of people have died because of Christian Zionism." The program is titled, "Origins of Christian Zionism, How it Corrupted American Christianity and Why It Is Finally Collapsing." But think about the accusation: Christian Zionism has corrupted Christianity. That suggests standing by Israel has a cancerous effect.
In this Roundtable, Amir Tsarfati, Barry Stagner, Jan Markell, and Mike Golay examine the current UFO/UAP craze. Is it another last days’ sign? Should...
To the believer, strange objects in the skies are secondary to Who is coming out of the sky very soon, to receive us in the clouds and to take us home. Nonetheless, there is a fever-pitched interest in aliens since President Trump released the long-awaited UFO files. Almost 2 billion people have accessed them. Stephen Spielberg wanted to make a movie that explains the unexplainable—yet the UFO phenomena is very explainable!
I hear a dozen evangelists stating that we are on the verge of a great revival. One self-proclaimed prophet says that a billion souls will come to faith in the coming weeks and months. If my Rapture is imminent, how can there be an imminent revival? Which is it? The Bible does talk about a coming revival. The question concerns its timing. Is it in the coming days, or is it after the Rapture when the “left behind” world realizes they should have listened to believers like you and me, get a second chance, and multitudes come to faith?
Jan Markell and Dr. Mark Hitchcock talk about four events that Hitchcock calls prophetically ground shaking. They are a part of today’s prophecy convergence.
Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.
What occurred to me was the timing of the 1947 “Roswell incident.” Something else occurred in 1947, culminating in 1948: the new state of Israel was forming. In late 1947, the UN partition plan was proposed. Resolution 181 recommended dividing the land, granting the Jewish state roughly 56% of the territory. This was the groundwork of the new state of Israel. I began to wonder: Did the devil know that this was the beginning of the end?
We don’t get to choose where we are born. And there is no paradise on earth. I have written on multiple occasions about living in a wicked city. Minneapolis, and the greater Twin Cities’ area, is a hotbed of crime, lawlessness, Somali scandal, leftist lunatic politics, and has attracted the second-largest homosexual population in America.
Intensifying Lawlessness is everywhere. In Minnesota, not one elected official who participated in the Somali fraud of billions of dollars has been removed from office or arrested. The Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, in part responsible for the mayhem, just made Time Magazine’s top 100 influential people. Thanks for rewarding incompetence! ICE has been demonized repeatedly, particularly in my hometown of Minneapolis. They have been arresting illegal aliens convicted of murder, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and more.
The problem is, it is happening as we speak. No, not the gas chambers, but the sentiment. Never again truly is now. Holocaust denial is at a new level. The Tucker Carlsons and Candice Owens have done staggering damage. It is a painful experience in Israel on this day. At 10:00 a.m., the country comes to a standstill. Children get off their toys. Cars come to a screeching halt. Drivers get out and stand motionless. Sirens wail throughout Israel. There is a collective sigh throughout the land. And the unspoken thought is, does anybody care?
More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it.
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.
President Trump will serve as chairman and wield considerable overall control. It will help resolve conflicts globally. He has the sole authority to invite new members and appoint a successor. Global peace seems to be their goal, though they will participate in other global duties as well. The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza, though there was no word about Gaza in the charter. A lot of Godless people seem to be in charge, such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and almost 60 more movers and shakers. Most have a worldly view of the world and of “peace.”
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.
