Perry Stone delivered a powerful prophetic update, highlighting the signs that mark the coming “time of the end” and the pre-rapture revival that will take place in these last days. Drawing from Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Revelation, Stone emphasizes that the final revival will precede the great and terrible day of the Lord, bringing clarity to what is happening in the world today.
Stone begins with Luke 21:26-28, which he says reveals a critical detail not found in Matthew: “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken… And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” He explains that when these events—natural disasters, celestial disturbances and spiritual upheaval—begin to occur simultaneously, it signals that the time of the end has arrived.

The first key sign, Stone says, is the rejection of repentance. “There will come a time when repentance will no longer be in the earth,” he warns, citing Revelation 9:20 and 16:9, where men blaspheme God rather than turning from their idolatry. Stone likens this to the days of Noah, when he preached righteousness for a century and yet the world refused to repent. Only a few souls were saved in the ark while humanity ignored the warning.
The second sign is the “cup of iniquity” becoming full. Stone references Genesis 15:16, explaining that God allowed the Israelites to remain in Egypt until the iniquity of the Amorites reached its limit. He connects this principle to the judgment described in Revelation, where a cup filled with the blood of martyrs triggers God’s justice. Stone differentiates sin from iniquity, noting that iniquity represents a persistent, perverse level of sin that blocks God’s blessings. “If there’s iniquity in your heart, God cannot bless over it,” he explains, emphasizing the importance of self-examination.
Third, Stone identifies covenant-breakers turning violent toward the righteous as a sign of the end. Using Genesis 19, he recounts the story of Lot and the men of Sodom, illustrating how those who know God but rebel can become aggressive and threaten the faithful. Stone sees parallels today in mobs attacking churches, harassing believers, and mocking godly living, warning that such actions invite divine judgment.
Finally, Stone highlights a positive sign: the global outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Quoting Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 2:17-18, he says this revival will involve sons and daughters leading young people in nations across the globe. Stone points to historical revivals—Moody revivals, the Azusa Street Revival, the Jesus Movement, and the Charismatic Renewal—as precursors to this final, worldwide move of God. He notes that most Christians come to faith before age 25, and with six in ten young people worldwide under 25, this generation is positioned to ignite the last great revival before the tribulation.

Stone concludes with a call to action: “When you begin to see these signs happening, it is the time of the end. Get right with God. If you’re backslidden, come back. If you’re cold, get on fire, because time is running out.”
