Fox noted that the location of the churches is in Kharga Oasis, which is located about 350 miles southwest from Cairo. Archaeologists further uncovered additional residential dwellings in the area that were made from mudbrick.

It is believed that these two churches go back to the early stages of the Coptic era of Christianity from around the 4 A.D. Fox reported that the first church was a basilica composed of mudbrick with a hall and two aisles still standing, while the second, smaller church was rectangular and had seven remaining columns in tact. Some of the Coptic writings were found on the walls of the church, along with the remainders of extra service buildings.

As Fox noted, officials on this archaeological investigation with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities are saying that this region “witnessed the transition from paganism to Christianity.” They also said that it “…sheds light on a significant era in the history of Kharga Oasis, namely the beginnings of the Coptic period in Egypt…”

This remarkable discovery serves as a vivid reminder of how devotion to Christ altered the world forever by His death and resurrection. As archaeologists continue to uncover these sacred sites, we are offered a rare window into the spiritual life of early believers—inviting reflection, awe and a renewed appreciation for the foundations of faith that continue to inspire countless generations today.

Lee Strobel, former atheist turned investigative journalist, recently discussed his exploration of the supernatural in an interview with Tucker Carlson. Strobel described the reality of angels, demons, miracles and mystical experiences that challenge the conventional understanding of the unseen world.

Strobel emphasized that most people sense a spiritual reality beyond what science can measure. “There’s stuff that we can’t explain,” he said, “but it’s no less real for our inability to explain it.” His journalistic training drives him to seek corroborated evidence of miracles, near-death experiences, mystical dreams and angelic encounters, attempting to bridge intuitive belief with factual support.

Angels, Strobel explained, are spirit beings created by God before humans, highly intelligent and tasked with serving both God and His people. He pointed out that belief in angels is nearly universal across cultures, from the Mayans to the Canaanites. Strobel shared striking examples of angelic encounters, including the story of Scottish missionary John G. Paton, whose life was protected by unseen forces during a violent attack, and his own childhood vision at age 12, which later aligned with his understanding of salvation through God’s grace. These experiences, he argues, demonstrate the tangible presence of angels in human life.

Strobel also discussed demons as fallen angels led by Lucifer, whose pride resulted in his rebellion against God. While demons are active in the world, Strobel reassures that true Christians cannot be possessed due to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Christians, he explains, may experience oppression or harassment from demonic forces, but biblical principles such as rebuking Satan and relying on God’s protection offer safety and spiritual authority.

The investigative journalist further emphasized the importance of Scripture and prayer in spiritual protection. “Being familiar with the teachings of the Bible allows us to deter any attempts by Satan to lead us down a path that’s clearly not biblical,” Strobel noted.

In addition, Strobel addressed the supernatural gift of speaking in tongues, a practice often associated with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. “I believe it’s a gift that still takes place. I have not experienced that personally, but I have credible people who do and have experienced that,” Strobel says.

He explained that speaking in tongues is both a form of prayer and spiritual empowerment, providing believers with a direct line of communication with God that goes beyond human understanding. “It’s a spiritual language. It’s not Latin, it’s not Greek, it’s a spiritual language.”

Miracles, too, remain a crucial part of Strobel’s investigation. He cites research showing that nearly 40% of Americans report at least one life experience they can only explain as a miracle, illustrating the widespread human encounter with divine intervention. From healing and protection to visions and supernatural guidance, these phenomena, Strobel asserts, offer compelling evidence that the spiritual realm is active and real.

From miraculous encounters with angels and demons to the profound experience of speaking in tongues, this story should challenge each of us to reconsider what is possible when we opens our heart to God’s work.

Is God giving us a prophetic warning about what is to come during the Feast of Trumpets?

In a prophetic alert posted online, Amanda Grace shared what Christians should be aware of regarding the Feast of Trumpets happening in 2026.

“In September, we will enter toward the end of September the year 5786 on the Jewish calendar. That year leading to 2026, two months before the mid-term elections in this nation, Rosh Hashanah, the feast of Trumpets, September of 2026 begins on 9/11 at sundown,” says Grace.

She points out that this milestone is happening on none other than the 25-year anniversary of when the terrorism attacks of 9/11 took place and the Twin Towers fell in New York City.

“On the Feast of Trumpets the shofar is blown, and that shofar was the same shofar blown at Jericho when in the Book of Joshua they marched around Jericho once a day for six days and on the seventh day they marched seven times and blew the shofar and the walls fell. That is the same type of shofar that is blown on the Feast of Trumpets, and now it intersects and converges with 9/11, the day the Towers fell,” Grace says.

She further calls this a wake-up call for Christians and the key reason why we continue to see 9/11 reappearing in prophetic symbols and dates.

“We have had a string of events that have occurred on dates that equal 9/11,” Grace says. “September 11, 2026 is not only the Feast of it’s the day that the Towers fell. This is a prophetic wake-up call and an alarm being sounded to us as the people of God to be the standard, to stand up, to be the watchman on the wall right now and sound the alarm for this because this is not a coincidence.”

Katie Souza’s story doesn’t begin with a church altar call; it begins in an empty prison unit.

In a powerful interview on Kap Chatfield’s Directed Life podcast, Souza recounted how after years of arrests and running, she found herself alone, certain she’d spend decades behind bars. Overwhelmed and ready to explode, she opened her mouth to cry out—and tongues poured out. “I started praying in tongues in prison,” she recalls. “Without anybody laying hands on me or anything.”

What she didn’t realize in that moment was that God had already marked her years earlier. A cousin once took her to church, where a minister prophesied over her—“You’re a drug dealer and God wants to redeem you”—and told her to open her mouth. Tongues came then, too. But she didn’t walk with God; she simply filed it away and kept moving. Now, locked in a cell, the Holy Spirit reawakened that gift—and with it, a hunger for Scripture.

With nothing to read in her unit but a Bible, Katie began devouring the Word. The ancient stories suddenly made sense. She saw herself in the pages. The revelation ignited a fire. She started teaching Bible studies behind bars, baptizing women in the showers, and leading songs she’d picked up from a Christian radio. “Everybody out of the cell,” she’d announce. “We’re going to sing and I’m going to teach.” They came—some because they were curious, many because, as she jokes, they were a little afraid of her.

Souza’s faith was real but raw. She listened to worship through foam headphones while playing spades and still working out the rough edges of a soul that hadn’t yet healed. But the Word was working, and God was just getting started.

Many believers today dismiss demonic activity as a relic of the past. But spiritual leaders Jonathan Cahn and Isaiah Saldivar are warning that the same dark forces seen in Scripture are still operating behind the scenes, influencing culture and nations.

“Where did all the demons go?” Saldivar asked. “They were around in the days of Jesus, the disciples and the early church. They haven’t disappeared simply because we live in a technologically advanced age. It’s the same demons, just different days.”

This perspective challenges the idea that world events are random or coincidental. Instead, it suggests there are spiritual realities shaping history that line up with biblical prophecy.

One of the most striking examples of biblical prophecy unfolding today that Jonathan Cahn shared in his interview with Saldivar is tied to Donald Trump. Trump was born on a Friday evening, which ushers in the biblical Sabbath. On every Sabbath, there is a Scripture appointed to be read, and the passage linked to the day of his birth speaks of bringing forth a trumpet—an instrument used to announce, to awaken, and to disrupt. “A trumpet doesn’t need to know what it’s doing,” Cahn noted. “It’s simply used for a purpose.” That imagery has resonated deeply with those who see Trump’s rise as part of a larger prophetic pattern.

Even the timing of his presidency aligns with biblical cycles. In Israel’s history, the Jubilee year marked restoration and freedom. The last major Jubilee tied to Israel was in 1967, when Jerusalem was restored to the Jewish people. Counting fifty years brings us to 2017—the year Trump was inaugurated and made the historic Jerusalem declaration, recognizing the city as Israel’s capital.

These prophetic patterns, however, are not shared to glorify a political figure but to awaken the church. The ultimate message is a call to revival. “Changing laws or governments isn’t enough,” Cahn urged. “If hearts remain unchanged, the culture will drift back into darkness. The only hope for America and the world is revival.”

Right now, we have a window of opportunity for awakening, and if God moves among His people, the ripple effect could impact the entire world.

Amid a growing number of discussions revolving around the return of Jesus Christ and the approach of a potentially catastrophic asteroid, Bishop Alan DiDio addressed the latest buzz surrounding “Apophis” and Wormwood prophecy.

“Is Jesus going to return in the fall of 2025?” DiDio asked. “And what about this asteroid heading to Earth called Apophis? There’s a lot of date setting and sensationalism right now—but is there anything to it?”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Apophis, an asteroid approximately 1,200 feet in diameter, is projected to pass within 20,000 miles of Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029—closer than many satellites. Named after the Egyptian god of death and chaos, the asteroid has sparked speculation due to its size, trajectory and timing. According to DiDio, there is a potential prophetic collision with the Bible’s Revelation 8:10–11 prophecy about a great star falling from heaven, contaminating one-third of freshwater sources.

“Some speculate that if it passes near Earth in the middle of the tribulation, counting backward places the tribulation’s start [is in]… 2025. That’s where all the date setting originates.”

DiDio stressed the importance of understanding the Bible without succumbing to fear or speculation. Quoting Matthew 24:36, he reminded viewers: “Of that day and hour, no one knows, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Similarly, he referenced 1 Thessalonians 5:2, which describes the coming of the Lord as “like a thief in the night,” reinforcing the imminent and unpredictable nature of Christ’s return.

Beyond Apophis, DiDio discussed how the Jewish feasts, particularly the Feast of Trumpets, have often been linked to eschatological events. “The fall feasts could hint at fulfillment in the second advent of Jesus Christ,” he noted.

DiDio also encouraged personal readiness and faith: “Whenever you see these things happening, don’t be afraid. Your redemption is drawing nigh. Look up, trust in Jesus, and keep imminence central in your life.” He reminded viewers that the spiritual significance of biblical feasts—Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets—transcends calendar dates. Accepting Christ brings the promises of these feasts into the believer’s life immediately.

While signs in the heavens stir curiosity and speculation, our hope must remain anchored in Christ rather than in dates or predictions. Prophecy is meant to awaken us to live faithfully, not to distract us with speculation. As believers, our focus should stay on being watchful, prayerful and ready—trusting God’s timing and walking in obedience until the day of His return.

The Minneapolis shooter left behind a disturbing memoir with details that could certainly make someone’s skin crawl.

Robin Westman, 23, born Robert Westman, wrote down what the Daily Mail called an “ode to death,” titling it, ‘But Not The End,’ discussing fears and “regrets that my name not be known for something more.”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

As the Daily Mail noted, this letter was written during Westman’s time at the St. Thomas Academy, which is an all-boys school. Westman reportedly only went to the school for three months. Westman graduated the eighth grade from Annunciation Catholic School in 2017. What is even more terrifying to this darkness is now what experts are finding out about where the cold-blooded killer may have been connected to an “extremist network of nihilistic terror groups,” the Daily Mail reported.

The Daily Mail also noted that groups such as 764, COM, Order of the Nine Angles and No Lives Matter have influenced school shooters for years, but have largely been unknown to the general public. All the groups, in essence, deal with the dark themes of Satanism and Nazism. Reportedly, the young kids most affected by these groups get caught up into them through gaming outlets like Roblox.

Westman also wrote about feeling “tired of being trans,” desiring to have “never brain-washed” himself, according to the New York Post.

“I regret being wish I was a girl,” Westman wrote. “I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today. I also can’t afford that.”

The New York Post also reported that Westman had gone through a recent breakup with an unnamed person, and that he left behind a horrifying letter where he talked about wanting to murder children, saying, “I know this is wrong but I can’t seem to stop myself.” In this same letter Westman also claimed to have “traits of empathy, self-sacrifice and good character.”

This example shows us the twisted, dark ways that Satan tries to get ahold of people and work the darkest, most vile evils possible through anyone who is willing. It also shows that transgenderism does indeed lead to mental and emotional instability for those who go down this route. Instead of celebrating it, this should be a sign to parents that allowing children to transition will not provide them fulfilment as they were promised, but rather confusion and turmoil.

Now, as we grieve the loss of the two children who died in the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, let us rally in prayer for the families affected by this horrific tragedy. Let this moment be the one where we see that we must call evil for what it is: evil. God has not asked us to take a seat on the bench, but to be the light to the world.

In a recent episode of Prophecy Watchers, Gary Stearman and Mondo Gonzales tackled the complex subject of Christian Zionism, particularly in light of modern geopolitical events involving Israel.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Christian Zionism, as they note is the biblical belief that the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land and the establishment of a modern Israel aligns with biblical prophecy. “The Jewish people are God’s chosen people forever,” Gonzales said, noting that being for Israel, “Doesn’t mean accepting everything that they do. It means God has a plan for them and future for them.”

The two also addressed extremes on both sides of the church’s stance on Israel. On one hand, some replacement theologians and anti-Israel advocates deny any miraculous or prophetic significance in Israel’s modern state. On the other hand, overly zealous Christian Zionists may refuse to acknowledge Israel’s moral failings. “Now, does it allow them to go and murder women and children, everything else to keep the land? I don’t think God would be pleased by that,” Gonzales says.

A balanced biblical approach, Gonzales and Stearman argue, acknowledges that Israel today exists in the land because of God’s covenantal promises, not human merit. Gonzales explained, “Even if Israel is rebellious, God’s plan is still moving forward. Romans 11 makes it clear that all Israel will ultimately be saved.” Biblical history—from Judges to the first century—shows that God’s chosen people can be flawed yet remain designated for His purposes.

Ultimately, Christian Zionism is not a call for uncritical allegiance but a theological recognition of God’s ongoing plan for Israel. From Genesis, the Psalms and all throughout Scripture, God makes it clear that He has a path for His people.

Jonathan Cahn is warning that the greatest threat to Western civilization is not paganism, but post-Christian culture.

In an interview with Larry Ragland part of Media Day 2025 presented by Charisma Media, Cahn explained that: “Pre-Christian, okay, that’s pagan. That’s the guy who was possessed by one spirit. Post-Christian is the guy who’s possessed by eight spirits. Pre-Christian, you got Nero. Post-Christian, you get Hitler. You get the Antichrist.”

According to Cahn, when a nation empties itself of God, it opens the door to spiritual forces previously driven out by the gospel. “They don’t come in saying, ‘We’re going to take over,’” he explains. “They come in as tolerance. ‘Open your mind, do your own thing.’ But in the end, they don’t want tolerance.”

Cahn connects this spiritual reality to historical patterns. Drawing from the Bible and ancient civilizations, he notes that when Israel turned from God, it repeatedly fell into the worship of specific gods—spirits that continue to operate today. He highlights the goddess Ishtar, who is associated with sexual immorality. As Western culture abandoned God, the sexual revolution emerged, sexuality was secularized, and confusion of gender roles took root—a modern reflection of ancient spiritual influence. “She had a priesthood, men in drag who danced before families,” Cahn says, “bending the sexuality between male and female. That’s exactly what we’re seeing today.”

Pre-order Jonathan Cahn’s Newest Book, “The Avatar” on !

The concept of “avatars” is central to Cahn’s message found in his new book, “The Avatar.” In pagan cultures, gods could manifest in humans. Today, he argues, humans are once again being used as vessels for spiritual forces to manifest, shaping culture, government and current events. He points to historical examples like Cuba, where spirits behind deities—disguised as saints—exerted cultural influence, and he recounts a dramatic mountaintop encounter where God used a shofar to topple the chief god idol of Cuba, sparking revival.

Cahn also links contemporary events to this spiritual framework. He sees symbols of replacement of God with paganism in popular culture, referencing the Olympics’ controversial performances that replaced Jesus with Dionysian figures. He connects this to the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, who proclaimed “God is dead” and exalted Dionysus, ultimately influencing figures like Adolf Hitler. “This is global,” Cahn warns. “The entire world is witnessing blasphemy, God driven out, a god coming in.”

The warning is clear: America stands at a spiritual crossroads. A culture that once knew God now risks being overtaken by forces long driven out, as tolerance and complacency allow ancient powers to infiltrate every aspect of society. From the arts to politics, from education to leadership, the seeds of post-Christian influence are spreading, reshaping morality, values and truth itself. Recognizing this reality is not about fear—it is about awareness, vigilance and reclaiming dominion through faith.

Author and prophecy expert L.A. Marzulli is sounding the alarm about what he sees as an unprecedented convergence of global deception, false religion and the coming rise of the Antichrist.

In a recent discussion with Daily Excellence, Marzulli drew from Scripture and current events to warn believers that the stage is being set for the fulfillment of end-times prophecy.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

According to Marzulli, the world is heading toward a moment when the Antichrist will be revealed. “I do believe he is alive, he’s walking the planet. There are some candidates that I have. I’ve been watching them for years, but there’s no way to tell. Nothing has really manifested yet,” he said.

Marzulli emphasized that much of this deception is already being prepared through religion and counterfeit spirituality. He specifically highlighted practices within Hinduism and the New Age that focus on the “third eye.” While many present the third eye as a path to enlightenment or hidden knowledge, Marzulli warned that it is actually a gateway into dangerous spiritual realms.

Islam, too, he said, plays a role in prophetic fulfillment. Marzulli explained that some Islamic eschatology anticipates the coming of a messianic figure known as the Mahdi. He believes this expectation could easily align with the rise of the Antichrist, providing a spiritual and political bridge to unite nations under false leadership.

Technology, too, is accelerating the prophetic timeline. Marzulli raised concerns about artificial intelligence, noting its rapid rise and eerie resemblance to prophetic warnings about an image that speaks (Rev. 13). “AI is moving so fast that most people can’t keep up. It’s not hard to imagine how the beast system could be implemented through this kind of technology,” he said.

For Marzulli, the bottom line is clear: deception is here, and it will only intensify. False religion, occult practices, distorted expectations in Islam, technological control and political upheaval are all converging in a way that lines up with biblical prophecy.
