Stephen Colbert’s past skits just may have shown an even darker look into the reality of Hollywood cults and sacrifices as the dark truth of the Epstein files emerges into the light.

During an Emmy award ceremony presentation with Jon Stewart, Colbert greeted the room of Hollywood elites by saying, “Good evening, godless Sodomites.”

He continues to say, “I’m bringing the truth, Jon. We’re in Hollywood, the belly of the beast.”

While this may seem like all fun and games, he then said that Hollywood “warps the minds of our children and weakens the resolve of our allies.” Colbert let the room know that they were receiving a “golden idol to worship,” yelling, “kneel before your god, Babylon.”

For years, stories and videos have come out of Hollywood exposing cultic patterns, including those out of Bohemian Grove, where elites basically sell their souls for the sake of fame. Now with lists of celebrities inside of the Epstein files that took part in all kinds of demonic activity, this skit hits as more than just a skit. Instead, it was like the truth was pointed out right in front of us.

However, Colbert did something else that points to an even darker side of what some may have done for fame, awards and riches.

Back in 2012, he used an actual baby to portray a demonic child sacrifice.

“I must appease him with the gift of a man-child,” Colbert says before picking up the baby. “Come to me, I must feed you!”

He can be heard saying, “Take the baby!” As Colbert walked with the baby to another part of the stage with red smoke, he then returned without the child.

“I’m sure the baby will be fine,” Colbert joked.

On August 1, 2012, Stephen Colbert did a comedy skit on his late night show where he portrayed sacrificing a newborn baby to a demonic entity.

Scripture reminds us that we wrestle “not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers…against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12). Darkness does not always announce itself with horns and fire. Sometimes it hides in plain sight—dressed as irony, cloaked in applause, and dismissed as performance art.

We do not need to speculate wildly to acknowledge a sobering truth: evil exists. History has proven it. Human trafficking is real. Exploitation is real. Corruption among the powerful is real. This truth should wake us up to pray for protection, wisdom and discernment. The Bible warns that in the last days, what is evil would be called good and what is good would be mocked (Isa. 5:20).

The church cannot afford to pretend that spiritual darkness is imaginary simply because it makes us uncomfortable. Nor can we turn away when disturbing patterns surface in culture. At the same time, our response must not be fueled by fear, but by truth and light. Jesus said, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). That promise still stands, and the Light will always have the final word.

As we see AI being used in every part of our daily lives, the big question is, how far is too far?

A Business Insider report noted that Meta recently filed a patent applicationthat would allow AI to “train a bot to keep post-mortem accounts active.”

So, what exactly does this mean?

According to the patent, the purpose of this technology is for “…simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased.”

While Business Insider noted that Meta says it has “no plans to move forward” at this time with this technology, it may leave you wondering why the technology giant would want to acquire this patent in the first place if there is no intention of using it.

To keep people from missing their “friends” on the platform who have since died, Business Insider notes that “Meta would essentially create a digital clone of your social media presence.” However, rather than being purely historical or archival information, “The clone can then respond to other people’s content…”

As technology advances, society is being forced to confront a sobering reality: just because something can be created does not mean it should be. When AI moves from simply archiving a person’s words and photos to actively speaking, responding and engaging as if the person were still present, it begins to blur a sacred boundary between the living and the dead. What is being presented as comfort or convenience risks becoming something far deeper—an artificial attempt to recreate human presence beyond death.

Scripture has long cautioned against practices that attempt to bridge that divide, not out of restriction, but out of protection. When technology is used not just to remember the dead, but to make them appear to interact with the living, it begins to resemble a digital form of necromancy—taking a tool and pushing it into territory that imitates forbidden spiritual practices.

The challenge ahead will be whether society uses AI as a tool to honor legacy and memory—or whether it allows innovation to drift into territory that attempts to recreate what God alone has authority over: life, death and the soul.

The Vatican has made an official statement regarding President Donald Trump’s offer to join the Board of Peace.

In a report by NBC News, the Vatican’s top diplomat, Pietro Parolin, noted that the Pope will not be joining the Board of Peace.

Parolin stated that the Vatican “will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States…” He also said that “…at the international level, it should above all be the UN that manages these crisis situations. This is one of the points on which we have insisted.”

Pope Leo received an invitation from President Trump in January to join the Board of Peace. At the time, Pietro Parolin said, “The pope has received an invitation, and we are considering what to will be something that requires a bit of time for consideration before giving a response.”

Even with the Vatican declining direct involvement, the Board of Peace still has many end-times implications. Passages such as 1 Thessalonians 5:3 speak of a time when people will be declaring “peace and safety,” only for sudden disruption to follow. Biblical prophecy also warns of the coming Antichrist, who is described in passages like Daniel 9 and Revelation 13 as initially bringing solutions and stability before revealing a darker agenda. For those watching world events through a prophetic lens, the concern is about the potential for a growing global dependence on centralized peace structures that could one day be used deceptively.

Will the Board of Peace usher in end-times events even quicker than we expected? We will have to let things play out to see.

“The Chosen” star Jonathan Roumie is sharing a powerful message for the start of Lent as Catholics around the world begin Ash Wednesday traditions.

Roumie spoke with Fox News, where he described Lent as a “…time for just meditation, peace and reflection.”

Beyond that, he points out that our culture gets “louder and louder and louder.” This message of being still in the Lord is critical for positive, spiritual health.

“It is essentially the epitome of what it means to take time for yourself, and to return to this time of meditation and prayerfulness with God,” Roumie stated.

Roumie also shared why he believes there has been a dramatic shift, with more men, particularly young men, returning to the church.

“…men are sort of really tired of what they’re experiencing in society and in the world in general,” he shared. Roumie also noted that for men who seek the Lord so they can live godly, respectable lives, “…everything just works better. Their lives are more fulfilled, their relationships are improved, their marriages are improved, and their relationships with their kids are made much fuller…”

In a culture that constantly demands attention and noise, choosing stillness before the Lord becomes an act of spiritual strength. When Christians intentionally step away from distraction to seek His presence, it is there that clarity, peace and purpose are restored. As many rediscover faith in uncertain times, Roumie’s words echo a timeless call: when we draw near to God, He faithfully draws near to us, renewing lives from the inside out.

A sobering prophetic message released Feb. 16, 2026, by Amanda Grace speaks of the future of Britain’s monarchy—specifically, the British royal line and what Grace describes as a “passing of the old guard” across Europe.

In the recent broadcast, Grace framed the moment as part of a larger shaking taking place in the nations, then delivered a striking portion of the word that centered on the royal houses of Europe and the signal of Big Ben itself.

According to Grace, what is unfolding is not merely political or ceremonial, but spiritual—an unraveling of ancient entanglements that spans generations of royal bloodlines. The word describes “the very old chain of the royal families of Europe” as something that “has been tethered to rulers of darkness” and linked to “very old altars of the dark ages.”

To order Amanda Grace’s new book, Brace For Impact, visit .

The prophecy goes further, claiming divine intervention is about to cut those connections: “In this time says the Lord, by my order, I am set to cut those chains,” the word declares, adding that hidden structures will be exposed: “And I the Lord shall expose the inner orders and I the Lord shall shake and sift to has been proclaimed to be an heir.”

‘A Sounding of Big Ben’

For British listeners, the most vivid imagery came with a reference to one of the nation’s most iconic symbols. Grace speaks of “a passing of the old guard,” and then announces “a sounding of big Ben, a sounding across Europe that the old guard, the old wine skins have been appointed to pass.”

In this prophetic framing, the “passing” is presented as a necessary breaking—an undoing of what the message calls “chains of darkness” and “blood deals made.” Grace says this shift would create space for something new within royal lines: “I the Lord shall give a period for those to rise up in faith out of such families and do my work and proclaim my word and save their children…”

A Direct Address to Princess Catherine

The most specific section of Grace’s prophecy was aimed at Princess Catherine, with both warning and invitation. “Princess Catherine, I am calling you in secret,” the word declares. “You have cried out to me in your heart. You have felt the bondage of religion. You have seen the chains in your children.”

Grace claims the princess is being urged toward full surrender to Christ, warning of recurring affliction: “I am calling to you in this hour to break free to come fully unto me and surrender for those chains are set to afflict your body once again,” she says, describing a “cycle that goes back to William’s mother.”

Grace then ties the urgency to the next generation, stating: “Fully surrender now and you shall be spared… for the sake of your children…”

‘A Jacob and Esau Flip’

Beyond Britain, this prophetic word suggests royal upheaval in the wider European landscape with a startling phrase: “You shall see a Jacob and Esau flip… You shall see the royal families of Europe in tandem rearrange their crowns.”

Hearing this message serves as a spiritual alarm: that God can reach into even the most protected corridors of power, and that households—whether ordinary or royal—are not beyond the reach of conviction, deliverance and redemption.

One “prophetess” is looking at many years behind bars.

In a report from Fox News, it was noted that Kathleen Klein, who also went by “Prophetess,” is the third person to be indicted by a Michigan federal grand jury for allegations of conspiracy and forced labor with the Kingdom of God Global Church.

Klein reportedly served as an executive and leader of the church formerly known as Joshua Media Ministries International. Klein, along with Michelle Brannon and David Taylor, was part of the team that ran call centers in Texas, Missouri, Florida and Michigan.

As Fox reported, those in call centers had to work long hours without pay to meet intense fundraising goals. Those who did not meet these goals faced “public humiliation, sleep deprivation, physical abuse, withholding of food and shelter, forced repentance rituals and threats of ‘divine judgment in the form of sickness, accidents, death, and eternal damnation,'” according to Fox.

The Department of Justice made a statement on the case, with FBI Detroit Field Office Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyan stating, “Forced labor is a direct assault on human strips victims of their dignity, their autonomy, and their basic right to control their own lives. Anyone who conspires to exploit and enslave others for profit will be held fully accountable under the law.”

It is believed that during this decade-long charade, the Kingdom of God Global Church received $50 million in donations, which leaders spent on vehicles, travel, luxury items and real estate.

As this case moves forward, it serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of accountability and integrity in all parts of life.

From the very beginning, God revealed Himself not only as a Savior but as a Restorer. One of the clearest pictures of this heart is found in the biblical command of Jubilee, a divine system designed to break cycles of poverty, restore identity and give hope to an entire nation.

Jubilee, described in Leviticus 25, was far more than an economic policy. It was a spiritual declaration that bondage was never meant to be permanent. As John Eckhardt taught, “Jubilee was not simply a nice idea. It was vital for the continual health and prosperity of the nation.”

Every 50 years, debts were canceled, land was returned to original families, and those trapped in servitude were set free. It was God’s built-in reset button for His covenant people.

The deeper message was about hope.

To order John Eckhardt’s new book, The Power of Your Words, visit .

“It presented hope,” Eckhardt explained. “Can you imagine if you were enslaved and you knew that on that day a trumpet would be sounded and you would be released?”

That hope wasn’t theoretical—it had a date attached to it. People could literally count down the years until freedom arrived. In a world where hopelessness can feel overwhelming, this principle still carries deep spiritual weight today.

“One of the demons that will destroy you is hopelessness,” Eckhardt said. “Where people lose hope… the more they try to get out, the deeper it’s like quicksand.”

Jubilee reminded Israel that no failure, no bad decision and no season of loss had to define them forever. Instead, God built restoration directly into the nation’s rhythm of life.

“God is a God of reset,” he said. “God believes in restarting. God will give you a second chance.”

But Jubilee wasn’t just about finances. In ancient Israel, land represented identity, inheritance and covenant promise. Losing land meant losing connection to family legacy and generational blessing. Jubilee restored more than property—it restored dignity.

“I want to restore your name. I want to restore your identity. I want to take the shame off of you,” Eckhardt emphasized.

The system also prevented permanent division between the rich and the poor. It ensured that wealth could not be concentrated into the hands of a few families forever, while others remained trapped in generational poverty.

“A nation can’t really prosper if only a few people have all the resources and the rest of the people are suffering,” Eckhardt said. “God wants all of His people to prosper.”

Perhaps most challenging was the level of trust Jubilee required. Farmers were commanded to rest their land for an entire year, trusting God to sustain them through supernatural provision.

“It taught them that God was their source,” Eckhardt said. “God was the one that opened the windows of heaven. God was the one that gave them abundance.”

For those feeling trapped—financially, emotionally or spiritually—Jubilee still speaks. Freedom, restoration and second chances remain at the very heart of who God is. Your situation is not permanent. God is the God of breakthrough.

The Jeffrey Epstein story is once again dominating headlines, and for many Americans, it remains more than a criminal case—it represents a disturbing window into how power can corrupt when accountability disappears.

As Dinesh D’Souza stated, “The Epstein story is back with a vengeance. It just won’t go away.” At its core, the Epstein case was about sex trafficking and exploitation. But for many watching the case unfold, the deeper concern is how someone like Epstein was able to operate for so long within elite social and political circles.

D’Souza argues that the scandal highlights “a lesson in the unaccountability of power,” suggesting that the story reveals how systems can fail when influence outweighs justice. While opinions differ on how widespread that problem may be, history shows that wealth and status can sometimes shield wrongdoing.

The discussion also highlights the moral dimension of power without accountability, characterizing certain elite circles as driven by “power and sex and money.” That perspective echoes Scripture’s repeated warnings about what happens when humanity rejects moral authority and pursues selfish gain.

D’Souza cites a famous philosophical idea often attributed to the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky: “If God is not, everything is permitted.” While theologians debate the exact meaning, many Christian thinkers see it as a warning about societies that abandon moral foundations.

D’Souza also examines the role of cultural change over decades, arguing that shifting views about sexuality, relationships and power structures have altered social dynamics. He then references King David and Bathsheba, a story that powerfully illustrates how even godly leaders can fall into devastating sin. Scripture does not hide these failures—it records them to show the consequences of moral compromise and the necessity of repentance.

The Bible consistently teaches that sin is not limited to any one class or group—it is a universal human condition. The lesson we learn from the Epstein scandal should point us back to the purpose of prayer and a commitment to truth. As corruption is exposed, believers are called not to celebrate downfall, but to pursue justice, protect the vulnerable and reflect Christ’s character in a broken world.

There’s no question about it: the last days are drawing closer each and every day.

In his compelling sermon, “The Lamb of Seven Eyes and Seven Horns,” Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn examines the profound symbolism of Revelation 5, presenting a vivid portrayal of Jesus as both the sacrificial Lamb and the triumphant Lion.

He began by emphasizing the centrality of the cross in God’s redemptive plan: “It’s the cross that leads to the resurrection. It’s the cross that enables the kingdom to come.” He explained that without the sacrificial death of Jesus, there would be no reconciliation with God and, consequently, no kingdom.

He then transitions to the vision of a scroll sealed with seven seals, which no one in heaven or on earth is found worthy to open. This moment of despair is interrupted by the announcement of hope: “Behold, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Cahn identifies this Lion as Jesus, who has triumphed over death and judgment.

However, the vision takes an unexpected turn when John sees not a lion, but a lamb: “I saw… a lamb as if wounded, maimed, killed violently. Butchered.” This lamb, though appearing slain, stands alive, symbolizing Jesus’ resurrection and victory over death. Cahn notes the significance of the lamb imagery, stating that while the term “lamb” appears only four times outside Revelation, it is used 27 times within this book.

This led Cahn to break things down even further, pointing to Jesus as both the Lion and the Lamb. He also examines Revelation’s account of the lamb’s seven horns and seven eyes. He interprets the horns as representing complete power and the eyes as symbolizing complete knowledge, aligning with the attributes of omnipotence and omniscience. These features signify that Jesus, the lamb, possesses all authority and insight.

As the world grows darker and prophetic questions intensify, this message serves as a powerful reminder that Scripture has already revealed the ultimate victory and the One who holds the future. You can watch Jonathan Cahn’s powerful sermon above.

In a 2014 message, Kim Clement delivered a prophetic word concerning Israel, its leadership and the shifting power dynamics across the Middle East.

Clement started with a direct appeal to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, challenging fear narratives surrounding Iran and global political pressure. Clement declared, “Netanyahu, that you cannot be afraid of Iran. Even though they say you should be because America is not doing what it’s supposed to do and the United Nations is not doing what it’s supposed to do. Since when have I had to rely upon the United Nations? And since when have I had to rely upon those even in America that would help you?”

This word appears to be of even greater importance now as tensions with Iran escalate, including recent Iranian demonstrations where a Baal effigy was publicly destroyed that was complete with provocative markings and anti-Israel and anti-American messaging, before it was set ablaze amid chants and celebration.

A prophetic word for #Netanyahu.
Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia — revealed years ago.

👉 Watch now: #KimClementProphecy #Israel #MiddleEast

— Kim Clement-Prophetic Rewind (@prophetkim) February 12, 2026

Clement emphasized God’s historic covenant relationship with Israel. “I have stood with you right from birth.” From there, Clement moved into a prophetic commissioning. “God says, ‘Netanyahu, I have given you the power to speak over these people, [and] made you a prophet.’”

He then switched focus from Iran to Saudi Arabia. “It is not Iran, but look to Saudi Arabia, and you shall see what I shall do, for they are the ones that have instigated, and Russia is looking this way.”

Clement also spoke strongly about prophetic voices being raised for Israel’s protection. “My prophet stands here and says these words to protect and speak words to protect this nation.” Even amid uncertainty about global alliances, the message reinforced divine security, adding, “Look away from America, but for a season they have said we are with you, but are they really? … That God said that doesn’t matter.”

Clement also called on Israel to intercession. “Even as Jehoshaphat prayed did I not hear, as Hezekiah prayed did I not extend years, when Gideon pray did I not extend years?”

Ultimately, Clement gave Israel hope and reminded them of God’s divine favor. “People shall say, surely the Lord has prospered Israel once again says the Lord.”

In seasons where political strength falters and global systems prove unstable, Scripture consistently points back to one unshakable truth: God alone establishes and removes kings, and He alone defends His covenant purposes. Right now, we must stand in the gap, pray for Israel and the nations, and trust that God is still writing His story across the earth.
