Faith in the White House? Trump Prepares to Honor the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

President Donald Trump is preparing to celebrate resurrection Sunday after already sharing a bold declaration of faith with a message about faith and repentance given by the Rev. Franklin Graham.

During a press conference, Karoline Leavitt shared news about how the President and First Lady plan to spend the Easter holiday.

“In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Leavitt stated.

She then shared the festivities planned by the White House to honor the Savior.

“On Wednesday, the president will host an Easter lunch in the East Room with faith leaders across the country to celebrate Holy Week.”



This comes as the president share a letter he received from the Rev. Franklin Graham back in December of last year, which spoke about eternity and the way to salvation through Jesus Christ alone. In the letter Graham wrote:

The only One who can save us from Hell is Jesus Christ. You can’t save yourself; I can’t save myself. Good works, prominence, success—none of these get us to Heaven. The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God requires us to turn from our sins and, by faith, believe in our heart that Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and God raised Him to life on the third day. If you accept that by faith and invite Him to come into your heart, you ARE heaven bound, I promise you.

During this time, continue to lift up President Trump in prayer, not only for his safety and direction in leading the nation, but for his soul. Pray that he may truly come to know the truth and the light of Jesus Christ, and that this relationship will blossom.

Is Access to One of Christianity’s Most Sacred Sites Restricted? Netanyahu Responds Amid Holy Week Tensions

After closures at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall and Al-Aqsa Mosque have all taken place in the city of Jerusalem due to the conflict with Iran, Christianity, Judaism and Islam each faced obstacles for religious celebrations. Now, the closure of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during Holy Week has caused quite a stir.

According to NBC News, Israeli police kept the church’s Latin patriarch, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, from entering the church.

The report noted that Pizzaballa traveled with Rev. Francesco Ielpo to celebrate Palm Sunday. However, the two were barred from entering, which made the “first time in centuries” when a Palm Sunday service was able to be celebrated in the church.

In response to this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to X, where he shared that Pizzaballa is to be given “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City.

Netanyahu also noted that it was out of concern for safety that Pizzaballa was asked not to hold mass inside the church.

Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.


Even in moments like this—when access is restricted, worship is halted and fear hangs over the streets—Jesus’ words come sharply into focus. In the Gospel of Luke 21, He warned that Jerusalem would be surrounded, distressed and “trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” What we are witnessing is not just a geopolitical flashpoint, but a spiritual signpost.

A city sacred to three faiths now finds itself under pressure, with worship disrupted during one of the holiest weeks of the year. It is a sobering reminder that Jerusalem, throughout history and prophecy alike, remains at the center of both earthly conflict and divine unfolding.



That same thread continues in the book of Revelation, where the apostle John describes a future moment when the holy city will again be “trampled by the nations” for a set time (Rev. 11:2). The parallels are striking—a city contested, access restricted and the weight of global tension pressing in. Yet Revelation does not end in trampling, but in triumph. The very city that is shaken will become the place where Christ reigns in fullness.

Until then, believers are called to watch, discern and pray with urgency—for the peace of Jerusalem, for those longing to worship freely and for hearts to turn to the Messiah.

Mamdani Goes to Church? NYC’s Muslim Mayor Attends Palm Sunday Service

In what may be one of the more unexpected pieces of news, Zohran Mamdani has set foot into the church.

In a post shared on X, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani shared his visit to The Greater Allen Cathedral for Palm Sunday service.

“It was an honor to spend Palm Sunday this morning with Pastor Green and the congregation at The Greater Allen Cathedral of New York,” Mamdani wrote. “As James 2:14 reminds us, ‘faith without works is dead.’ That message calls on all of us to build a better city. A New York where dignity is not a privilege, but a promise.”

Besides quoting Scripture, Mamdani then continued to wish New Yorkers a blessed Palm Sunday.


“Where government shows up for people with respect. Where faith is nurtured by justice, and freedom is abundant. 
Wishing a blessed Palm Sunday to all New Yorkers observing this sacred day.”

This comes after the mayor hosted Ramadan festivities to celebrate the Islamic faith.

Mamdani’s presence in a Christian church on Palm Sunday is more than a political moment—it is a divine opportunity. Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a distant figure, but as the Messiah who would soon lay down His life for the sins of the world. Whether Mamdani fully understands the weight of that moment or not, he stepped into a place where the gospel is proclaimed, where truth is present, and where hearts can be changed in an instant.

Pray that the truth of who Jesus Christ is—the Lamb who came to save, the King who came in humility—would pierce Mamdani’s heart. Pray that what he witnessed would not remain a surface-level gesture, but would stir a deep hunger for truth and revelation.

After War Comes Deception: Why Millions Could Embrace a False Messiah

A sobering prophetic warning from Amir Tsarfati is gaining renewed attention as global tensions continue to rise around Israel.

Drawing from key passages in Ezekiel, Daniel and Zechariah, he is sounding the alarm: the stage may already be set for the war of Gog and Magog.

“He says that Gog the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal is going to come—and Persia and Ethiopia, which is Sudan of today, and Libya will join them,” Tsarfati explains. “Gomer and Togarmah, which is Turkey of today—many people with you.”

This coalition, often interpreted as a gathering of modern nations aligned against Israel, paints a picture that feels increasingly relevant in today’s geopolitical climate.

“So you can see all the countries,” Tsarfati continues, “and I bet you will see that happening either during Trump’s administration or right after that.”

A Supernatural Victory That Shifts the World

According to Ezekiel 38–39, the coming conflict will not end in Israel’s destruction—but in divine intervention.

“These are the countries that are going to rise up against Israel… the Ezekiel 38 war that will come,” the Tsarfati says. “And right after that war, following the supernatural victory of God in that war, messianic aspirations will continue to increase.”

To order James Lasher’s book, The Revelation of Jesus, visit Amazon.com.

That surge in spiritual expectation, however, comes with a warning.

The Danger of a False Messiah

In the aftermath of global upheaval, many will be searching for answers—and for a savior. But without a true understanding of who Jesus is, the door opens to deception.

“When you don’t think the Messiah is God and that He didn’t come to die for your sins, it’s very easy to choose a man promising prosperity, peace, and above all, the temple in Jerusalem,” he warns.

This directly connects to the prophecy in Daniel 9.

“It shall confirm a covenant with many for one week—seven years,” Tsarfati says. “But in the middle of that one week, he shall bring an end to the sacrifice and offering… there is going to be an Antichrist.”

A Time of Trouble Unlike Any Other

Scripture does not soften what comes next. The period known as the Great Tribulation is described in stark and sobering terms.

“There’s going to be a great tribulation,” Tsarfati says plainly. “We are not part of it… Israel will be the focus of God’s dealing with the world.”

Referencing Jeremiah 30, he adds, “Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it… It is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.”

Even Daniel 12 underscores the severity: a time “such as never was since there was a nation.”

A Refined Remnant Will Return

Despite the devastation, hope remains at the center Tsarfati’s message.

Quoting Zechariah, he explains, “Two-thirds… shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it. I will bring the one-third through the fire… they will call on My name, and I will answer them.”

This refining process ultimately leads to redemption.

“They will say, ‘The Lord is my God,’” he says.

The Unchanging Promise

Through it all, one truth remains constant: God’s covenant with Israel has not changed.

“Israel of the present is Israel of the past,” Tsarfati concludes. “It’s the same Israel of the future. It’s the same promise.”

As the world watches events unfold, this message serves as both a warning and a call to discern the times, to know the true Messiah and to remain anchored in the unchanging Word of God.

Forrest Frank Reveals the Intense Moment He Faced a Demon

Most of us treat faith like a safety net — something we lean on after every other option has run out. But what if God asked you to let your gas tank run dry on a bridge in the middle of Seattle, in your work clothes, with no one around? That is exactly what happened to Christian music artist Forrest Frank.

The Prompt No One Expects

In an interview with George Janko, Frank explained that about two years into his walk with Jesus, and freshly connected to a church that embraced the gifts of the Spirit, he was driving when he felt an unmistakable nudge from God. Not a suggestion — a conviction. Let the car run out of gas.

I’m in my car and I feel like I’m supposed to let it run out of gas. Halfway on this bridge, the car runs out. I pulled off to the side — it’s like an hour and a half walk to the other side — and the whole time I have complete peace.

Peace. Not panic. Not embarrassment. That kind of calm in the middle of the absurd is itself a miracle.

A Divine Appointment at the Gas Station

At the gas station, as he filled a spare tank to carry back, a voice broke the silence. An 18-year-old kid pulling up asked if Frank needed a ride. He said yes. Inside the car, rap music played, and a connection formed immediately. By the time they reached Frank’s home studio, an invitation had been extended: dinner, music, conversation.

It seemed like a beautiful coincidence. It was anything but.

The Darkness Behind the Door

Frank shared that the young man arrived for dinner, but not alone. His friend came with him, and the moment he walked in, something felt deeply wrong. Not nervousness. Not social awkwardness. Darkness. Frank trusted his discernment, and after the two left abruptly, he called the young man directly:

I don’t know you, dude — it’s crazy that you came to my house — but just off of this instinct, I don’t think you should be hanging out with that friend. And he said, “Whoa, dude. I’ve been trying to get away from that guy.”

The young man came back to Frank’s alone. From here, the real story began to surface. At 17, after being kicked out by his parents, he had fallen into a satanic cult — rituals, darkness and the occult. The unsettling friend he had brought to dinner? The cult’s founder.



Deliverance and Freedom

They went downstairs to the studio, and with no formal training, no manual and no one else around, Frank laid a hand on the young rapper and prayed. When he asked him to say “thank you, Jesus,” the words would not come out. So he pressed in deeper, knowing that there was a demonic force keeping this young man from speaking freely.

And then the words came. The blockage was gone.

A year or two later, they crossed paths again. Frank’s report from that young man was simple and stunning:

After that day, everything changed for me. Everything changed. Good things started happening.

The Lesson in the Empty Tank

It would be easy to frame this as an extraordinary story for extraordinary people. But that misses the point entirely. Janko said it best:

For a man to truly believe in God so much that he’s going to let his gas tank go out — that says a lot. Some people can’t trust God enough to fill up their gas tank next time.

Faith is not reserved for the pulpit or the prayer room. Sometimes it looks like pulling over on a bridge, lacing up your dress shoes, and walking toward whatever God has waiting at the other end.

Jonathan Cahn Reveals the 2,000 Year-Old Passover Prophecy the World Has Been Missing

Every spring, Jewish families around the world gather at the Passover table and ask a question that has echoed across three millennia: “Why is this night different from all other nights?”

In a powerful sermon, Messianic teacher Jonathan Cahn answers that question in a way that may forever change how you see both the cross and the empty tomb.

The Table Was Always Pointing to Him

The Passover Seder is filled with symbols — unleavened bread, bitter herbs, a lamb’s bone — but Cahn argues these are not merely historical artifacts. They are a prophetic blueprint of the Messiah.

Take the three pieces of matzah. Cahn explains that no rabbi can fully account for why there are three, yet the number is unmistakable: “There are three pieces of bread. It is a trinity of bread. And it all focuses on the second of the trinity — the middle piece of bread — where the Bible says there is a triune nature of God and the middle is the Son or Messiah.”

To order Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Avatar, visit Amazon.com.

That middle matzah is then broken, wrapped and hidden away, a ritual Jews have performed for thousands of years without realizing it was narrating the death, burial and concealment of Jesus. “It’s been hidden from his people for 2,000 years,” Cahn says, “but it was wrapped and hidden away.”

The Power of the Lamb’s Bone

At the center of the Seder table sits the zeroa, a lamb’s bone representing God’s outstretched arm of redemption. Cahn draws a stunning connection to Isaiah 53, written centuries before Christ: “To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” The answer: a suffering servant, wounded for our sins, led like a lamb to slaughter.

“The power of God is not thunder and lightning,” Cahn declares. “It’s the love of God. It’s the Lamb of God. It’s God giving his life for us. That is the power of God. There’s nothing more powerful.”

Your Red Sea Is Not the End

The sermon builds to one of the most urgent applications of the Exodus story: what do you do when God says move forward — and all you see is a wall of water?

“God wants you to move ahead even when there doesn’t look like there’s any ahead,” Cahn says. Moses didn’t avoid the Red Sea. God led them there. And when the moment came, Moses was told to lift his rod and baka — a Hebrew word meaning to rip, break and tear apart — the sea.

“You’ve got power to open up the obstacle, to split the barrier, divide the problem,” Cahn says. “You have power to break seas. That means you certainly can break that habit… you can break the gloom. That’s the power of the empty tomb.”

Rejoice Before the Victory

Cahn closes with a challenge that runs counter to every natural instinct. The Israelites praised God after crossing over. But Cahn insists the real key was to praise before.

“Rejoice on this side of the Red Sea, and you’ll rejoice on the other side. Rejoice on this side of your problem, and you’ll rejoice on the other side.”

This Passover season, the ancient table still speaks, and its message is this: the lamb was never just a meal. He was always the way through.

‘I Think They’re Demons’: JD Vance Speaks on UFOs as White House Promises File Release

In a striking moment, Vice President JD Vance revealed in a sit-down interview with Benny Johnson that he believes the mysterious UFO phenomenon may have a far more sinister origin.

“Are you ever going to release all the UFO files?” Johnson asked Vance.

“We’re working on it,” Vance stated. “When I came in, I was obsessed with the UFO Files, and then you start getting really busy worrying about the economy and national security and things like that…I will get to the bottom of the UFO Files.”

Telling Johnson that he hasn’t spent enough time on it to fully understand it, he notes how he plans to visit Area 51 at some point and get to the bottom of the files. Then, he said something incredibly profound.


“I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons, anyway, but that’s a long discussion,” Vance said.

He then continued, stating, ““I think that celestial beings who fly around to do weird things to people. I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, as otherworldly, to describe it as aliens, I mean every great world religion including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there. And there are things that are very difficult to explain.”

Vance also recognized that Satan is the one who tries to lead people down the route of deception, including in these unique ways.



“When I hear about extra natural phenomenon, that’s where I go to. The Christian understanding that there’s a lot of good out there, but there’s also evil out there. I think that one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed,” Vance stated.

What makes this moment so sobering is not simply the mystery of unidentified phenomena—but the growing willingness to explain away the supernatural in terms that remove God while still embracing the unknown. Scripture warns that in the last days, deception will not come in obvious darkness alone, but in signs, wonders and persuasive narratives that lead many astray (2 Thess. 2:9-11). The enemy has always sought to distort reality, and redefining demonic activity as extraterrestrial could be one of the most effective deceptions of our time.

As the world leans further into fascination with the unknown, believers are called to anchor themselves in the Word, test every spirit and remain steadfast. In an hour where deception may increase, the call is clear: stay awake, stay grounded and do not be led astray.

Canada’s Death Cult Grows Darker: The Warped Push for Assisted Suicide

The culture of death continues to grow in Canada.

As more and more people, unfortunately, are choosing to die by medically assisted suicide, Canada is continuing to push their MAID program to attract more helpless victims.

In a new ad for an assisted suicide company based in Canada, a woman can be seen in tears, thinking about her final days.

“When I imagine my final days, I see bubbles. I see the ocean. I see music. Even now, as I seek help to end my life, there is still so much beauty. You just have to be brave enough to see it,” the ad reads.

This chilling display, thinking that death is better than life, is the complete antithesis of what Scripture promises us in a relationship with Jesus.

In a post on X, one user wrote:

We are living in very dystopian and sinister times.

This is an advertisement is from an assisted suicide company in Canada.

Suicide is being sold as the solution to problems.

Murder is being dressed up with television ads (of course, in this case with hardly any diversity).

He also noted that “These times are even scaring Satan.”

Christian actor Kevin Sorbo also discussed the ad on X, calling it “sick.”


How did we get here? Scripture gives us the answer. When a culture turns away from God, it begins to call evil good and good evil (Isa. 5:20). What was once unthinkable becomes normalized, and what was once sacred—life itself—becomes disposable. But even in the midst of this darkness, the truth of God’s Word still stands unshaken.

To order Chad MacDonald’s new book, Defeating Darkness, visit Amazon.com.

From the very beginning, life has always been God’s idea. In Deuteronomy 30:19, the Lord declares, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” This is not just a suggestion—it is a divine call. God is not the author of death, but of life, hope and restoration.

The enemy may whisper that there is no way out, that suffering defines the end of your story—but that is a lie. John 10:10 reminds us that while the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, Jesus came that we may have life—and have it more abundantly. Even in pain, even in despair, there is purpose. There is redemption. There is still a future written by the hand of God.

This is the moment to choose life. To fight for life. To pray for those who feel trapped in darkness and to point them to the only One who can truly heal the human heart—Jesus Christ.

‘Sparkle Creed’ Was Just the Beginning. Now the ‘Immigrants Creed’ Raises Bigger Questions

Oh, the heresy inside the church today just keeps getting even bigger.

In a video shared on X by Protestia, the same Lutheran Church that previously erupted over its controversial “sparkle creed” is now stirring up controversy over its “immigrants creed.”

“I invite you to rise in body or spirit as we share the words of the Immigrants Creed together,” a clergy member stated.

The “creed” then went like this:

I believe in God, the Almighty, who guided those in exile and in exodus. The God of Joseph in Egypt and Daniel in Babylon. The God of a stranger and an immigrant. I believe in that Jesus Christ, a displaced person from Galilee was born far from His people at home.

Doctrinally, this is inaccurate. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, as Mary and Joseph went during the census to be counted, as Joseph was part of the Davidic line from Bethlehem. Jesus wasn’t born away from his family’s heritage; He was born directly in the heart of it. He was fulfilling prophecy with His birth location, not as a stranger but as a king coming into His glory.

The heretical creed continues:

Who had to flee with His parents when His life was in danger, and who, upon returning home, had to suffer the oppression of a tyrant, Pontius Pilate, the servant of foreign power.

To order your copy of the Spiritual Warfare Bible, visit Amazon.com.

This part of the creed completely undermines the fact that the entire region that Jesus lived under was under Roman authority and rule. Yes, Jesus moved, but it was not comparably to an illegal move that many try to make it out to be.

Jesus was persecuted, beaten, tortured, finally, unjustly accused and condemned to death. But on the third day, this rejected Jesus rose from the dead, not as a foreigner, but to offer us heavenly citizenship.

Jesus died not for a political ideology or some message about immigration. He died for the sake of the sins of the world. He died because without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Jesus died because there is no other way to salvation. And He rose from the dead because His power is much greater than the power of death. Jesus’ life, death and resurrection is not about immigration, but about our eternity.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the eternal immigrant of the kingdom of God among us. Who speaks all languages, lives in all countries and unites all races. I believe that the Church is His safe home for all who are strangers and believers who make up this church.

Scripture tells us not to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and I would be careful before proclaiming that the Holy Spirit is something the Bible does not tell us He is. He’s not just floating around from place to place; He is God with us who lives in us. He is God who never leaves nor forsakes us. He’s not just moving on a whim; He is already with those who profess Jesus to be Lord.


I believe that the communion of saints expands when we accept the diversity of the saints. I believe in forgiveness, which makes us equal, and reconciliation, which identifies us more than race, language or nationality.

Forgiveness isn’t about getting equal; it’s about letting go of the hurt. And people come into being part of the family of God not simply by diversity alone, but by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

I believe that in the resurrection, God unites us as people in which all are different and equal at the same time. I believe in eternal life beyond this world where no one will be an immigrant, but all these citizens of the kingdom of God.

At the end of it all, it’s not about being equal with others; it’s about being seen and known by God and being with Him for all eternity.

At a time when the world is growing darker and deception is increasing, the church was never meant to echo culture—it was called to confront it. What we are witnessing is not just creative language or modern expression, but a subtle reshaping of truth itself. And Scripture is clear that in the last days, many will depart from the faith, giving heed to doctrines that sound compassionate but ultimately distort the gospel.

The danger is not always loud rebellion—it is quiet substitution. It is when eternal truth is exchanged for cultural relevance, when the cross is repackaged into a social message and when Jesus is reduced to a symbol instead of exalted as Savior and King. But the gospel cannot be rewritten. It does not evolve with society, nor does it bend to political narratives. It remains what it has always been: the power of God unto salvation for all who believe.

Now more than ever, believers must return to the Word of God as the final authority. This is not a time for passive faith, but for discernment. Not a time to blend in, but to stand firm. Because if the foundation is compromised, everything built upon it will eventually fall.

Jack Hibbs Tackles 9 Explosive Questions Every Christian Needs to Hear

In a rapid-fire Q&A session, Pastor Jack Hibbs sat down to answer some of the most pressing—and often controversial—questions believers are asking today.

1. A Glorified Body, Not a “New Corpse”

One of the first questions tackled a common misunderstanding about eternity.

“You’re not going to get a new corpse because a corpse is dead,” he said. “You’re going to get a new living body.”

Citing Jesus’ resurrection, he explained that believers will receive glorified bodies, just like Christ’s. “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” he said, noting that at the resurrection, “my body is going to meet my spirit… and that’s a glorified state.”

2. Ezekiel 38 vs. Armageddon: Not the Same Battle

Addressing end-times confusion, Hibbs made a sharp distinction between two often-mixed prophecies.

“Ezekiel 38… is a surprise attack against Israel,” he explained, led by Gog and a limited group of nations. “It’s not Armageddon.”

By contrast, “the battle of Armageddon… has to deal with the nations of the world” and occurs near the end of the tribulation.

3. Is There Hope After the Rapture?

Perhaps one of the most sobering moments came when discussing salvation after the rapture.

“Those who know the gospel right now… but they don’t believe it,” he warned, “will not be able to believe because God will send them strong delusion.”

However, he noted that Revelation speaks of “a great number… too numerous to count” who will be saved during the Tribulation. Still, his warning was clear: “If you’ve got a chance to receive the gospel now… You better believe it now and repent.”

4. The Rapture Could Happen at Any Moment

When asked what must happen before Christ returns, his answer was direct:

“Nothing needs to happen for the rapture to take place. It could happen any second now.”

He emphasized the doctrine of imminence, explaining that while the Second Coming has many prophetic signs, “the rapture has no warnings… no prerequisites.”

5. Are We in the Tribulation Now?

For those claiming we are already in the Tribulation, he pushed back strongly.

“Where’s the Antichrist? Where’s the mark of the beast? Where’s 666?” he asked. “We are not in the tribulation period.”

To order James Lasher’s book, The Revelation of Jesus, visit Amazon.com.

According to Hibbs, such claims come from “a lack of understanding concerning the Bible.”

6. What Is the “Strong Delusion”?

Expanding further, he explained that this delusion comes after the rapture.

“Those that were fiddling around with the gospel… there’s going to be a thought process in them that they will deny Christ completely,” he said. “God will send them strong delusion because they had a chance… and they refused.”

7. The Truth About Being “Chosen”

Addressing fears about predestination, he clarified that God’s choosing is rooted in foreknowledge.

“He gives everyone the opportunity to believe,” he said. “Those who… would say yes… those become the chosen.”

8. Apostasy vs. Backsliding

He also drew a crucial distinction between two often-confused terms.

“An apostate is someone who claimed to believe… but never really did,” he explained. “A backslidden person… is in the family of God, but… not walking right with God.”

9. Israel Still Matters

In a strong defense of biblical Israel, Hibbs warned against modern skepticism.

“God has chosen the Jewish people,” he said. “If you can get Israel… to not exist, then Christ cannot come back and the Bible is false.”

As the world grows louder with speculation and uncertainty, Hibbs brings the focus back to what matters most: being ready.

In a time when deception is rising, and truth is increasingly blurred, this message cuts through the noise with urgency: don’t just study prophecy—respond to it. Because when that moment comes, there will be no rehearsal, no warning, and no second chance for those who have heard and turned away.
