Prophetic voice Joseph Z is sounding the alarm once again—this time with a word that points to the years 2026 and 2030 as pivotal markers in both the natural and spiritual realms.

According to Z, 2026 will mark a time of “picking up sticks” for the nation. He believes this will be a defining year for us to rebuild the country after a season of upheaval. “2026 is the valley of decision where we pick up sticks. And by picking up sticks, it’s like when there’s been a storm and there’s been a challenge, there’s been all these issues… we begin to restructure and reforge, rebuild what God’s called us to do,” he says.

Z urged intercessors to pray strategically, referencing Matthew 24:20, where Jesus told His followers to pray their flight would not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. “I believe 2026 is going to be a pick-up sticks year where we have the opportunity to have victory all around the nation and see longevity if we win 2026 in some of these states and mayoral races,” he continues.

Z also issued a prophetic warning from Revelation about the year 2030 and how it relates to what could happen 10 years later in 2040. “Revelation chapter has to do with 2030 and 2040,” says Z. “The Lord showed me the year 2030 and said, ‘The governments of the world have chosen to make this their great reset. They’re saying it is their day of institutional worship, Antichrist spirit worship, and it is their Lord’s Day 2030, the great reset.'”

However, Z believes that God would like to strike down this agenda. “He said, ‘I am going to show up that year.’ And then I saw it extended to does not happen automatically, but I believe the Spirit of the Lord wants to strike down Agenda 2030.”

The message from Joseph Z is a clear call to action: what we do now—through prayer, intercession and deliberate engagement—will ripple far beyond 2026. By “picking up sticks” and rebuilding what has been broken, believers position themselves to shape not only the immediate future but also the unfolding events of 2030 and beyond.

Nature can truly be horrifying at times.

A Fox News report noted that thousands of sea cucumbers have washed ashore in Seaside, Oregon. The creatures, which are rarely seen on the surface of the sand, provided quite a surprise to onlookers. Tiffany Boothe, the assistant manager of Seaside Aquarium, told the Associated Press that the sea cucumbers are “literally littering the tideline.”

The sea cucumbers measure half an inch in length and can grow to upwards of 6 inches. As Fox discussed, once these critters reach shore, they are unable to return to their natural habitat, so they are likely to die on the surface.

As NBC Right Now reported, the creatures came ashore after a combination of low tide and heavy surf created conditions for this phenomenon.

This intriguing sign comes as “Doomsday oarfish” have been spotted off shorelines near Mexico and California, and researchers captured the first colossal squid on camera earlier this year. Fossils of an ancient “sword dragon” have even been unveiled recently, all pointing to one question: Is there something bigger happening right now with creation?

Even animals on land have taken a sharp turn lately. Rabbits, squirrels, and deer with strange growths on their faces have become more common across the United States in 2025, suggesting something unusual is happening in nature.

These bizarre events in nature—creatures washing ashore, strange mutations, and unprecedented sightings of oceanic giants—serve as a stark reminder that the natural world is not as stable as it once seemed. The Bible speaks of turmoil in the natural order as a signal of God’s coming judgment (Lk. 21:25–26). These unusual sightings are not just curiosities; they are whispers from creation pointing to a time when the world will experience signs and wonders, both in the heavens and on the earth, revealing the nearness of the end times.

The unusual patterns in nature are a living testimony that the prophetic Scriptures are being fulfilled before our eyes, urging humanity to recognize the signs and turn toward the One who holds the destiny of all creation in His hands.

Amid various statements and claims about the red heifer sacrifice this past summer, experts in the field are trying to clear the air about what actually happened and what we can expect to see in the future.

In a red heifer retraction and apology video, journalist Adam Eliayhu Berkowitz stated that he tried to present the news regarding the red heifer sacrifice to the best of his knowledge and in corroboration with his sources.

“I was given specific details about that practice burning. I was informed by the Temple Institute that the heifer that was used in that practice burning had been deemed unsuitable, and the burning did not produce ashes that could be used to purify the Jews,” said Berkowitz. “The burning was carried out in Samaria. And to the best of my knowledge, the actual red heifer, in order to be suited to produce ashes that are suited for purifying Jews, has to be burned on the Mount of Olives in a very specific site.”

Berkowitz noted that other misleading details, such as whether or not the cow was kosher, have also been at the forefront of this discussion. Right now, he will not be producing any more videos on the subject matter, as he does not feel he can trust the information being given to him about the topic.

In an interview on The Endtime Show, Byron Stinson, who brought the red heifers to Israel from Texas, noted that two have since been disqualified, but others that could still be used. He shared his perspective on the confusion surrounding the July 1 red heifer ceremony.

“So, we were going to do the practice… On July the 1st, we had put everything in place, had the wood in place, had the burning pit in place, all those things. It was a lot of work to get ready. And on we got ready to go get the cow on July the 1. And this little cow would not load up in the loading shoot… instead, the most perfect one of our cows decides to walk over and get in the loading shoot,” Stinson said.

Stinson then said that, as he was going to get the cow out of there to get the other one, one of the rabbis with him said they should use the perfect heifer, seeing it as a sign that God had chosen it. Having the pure priest and the other elements needed for the sacrifice, Stinson says, this is how the practice ceremony became a real one. He also notes that people of Jewish heritage were the first to collect ashes from the heifer ceremony. He also stated that his team asked no one to take any videos during the ceremony, except for the Bonet Israel team. However, someone still took the cell phone video that circulated throughout the internet, causing havoc.

While the red heifer sacrifice continues to generate interest and debate, those directly involved emphasize the complexity of the process and the importance of accurate information, and any future developments will likely be approached with caution and careful verification.

A powerful moment occurred when Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III joined together in prayer at the Vatican.

According to Reuters, this is the first time a British monarch and a Catholic pope have prayed together in a session since 1534. It is being dubbed as a “healing of history” to see these two global leaders come together in unity.

During the ceremony, King Charles was given a seat of honor in the Sistine Chapel, where the service was held. In this worship service, the pope prayed, “Oh God, make speed to save us.” Following along with the rest of the room, they prayed, “For you created all things, and by your will existed and were created. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning…”

Outside of the service, Charles presented Leo with a gift, stating, “Your Holiness, such a pleasure to meet you if I may say so…[This] comes as a small token of our esteemed appreciation.”

Charles is the head of the Church of England, which has recently come under controversy over the appointment of Sarah Mullally as the Archbishop of Canterbury, prompting significant division within the Anglican Church. Leo has also had a slew of his own controversial moments since assuming his role as the head of the Catholic Church, including the allowance of an LGBTQ group to carry a rainbow crucifix for the Jubilee celebrations of the Catholic Church and his blessing over a block of ice.

For many watching through the lens of Scripture, this moment carries prophetic weight far beyond diplomacy or symbolism. Is it possible that we are in the time when global elites will align in the final days, creating a false sense of peace and unity before deception? Are we one step closer to a one-world government and religion? Could this be one of the prophetic alignments that ushers in the era of the one-world religion and the Antichrist system foretold in Revelation 13?

As the world applauds peace, believers are reminded that not all unity is holy—and that true peace will only come through the Prince of Peace Himself, Jesus Christ.

In a time when global peace seems to be a big discussion point among world leaders, Pastor Jack Hibbs is urging believers to discern what kind of peace is really on the horizon. In a recent message, the California pastor and founder of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills drew powerful parallels between current developments in the Middle East and the ancient prophecies of Scripture, warning that a false sense of security could precede one of the most turbulent times in human history.

As international efforts increase to negotiate peace deals between Israel and its neighbors, Hibbs believes these developments may not signify true peace—but rather the prelude to prophetic fulfillment. Citing passages from Daniel and Revelation, Hibbs explained that the coming world leader, the Antichrist, will “confirm a covenant” with Israel for seven years—a deal that initially brings stability but soon unravels in chaos.

“We all want peace, but the Bible tells us in advance they’re going to have a lot of treaties about peace, but none of them are going to stick. In fact, let’s be honest, even the Antichrist is going to write up a seven-year treaty, and it doesn’t stick,” says Hibbs.

He pointed to the growing calls for peace as only a temporary peace because the Prince of Peace alone is the one who will bring true change when Christ comes back.

“God’s got his plan and he’s going to take care of it. He’s going to execute his plan and only then and then when Christ returns will there be peace. Until then, no peace treaty is going to work,” says Hibbs.

He also discussed how the ultimate issue which he believes will divide churches next is that of support for Israel. “Now the global topic is Israel,” he says. “I don’t think there’s another topic after this one. I think this is on God’s calendar would be more important in Bible prophecy warning us and telling us that you’ll know the times and the seasons when Israel is that topic.”

In these turbulent times, Hibbs reminds the Church that hope is not found in treaties or negotiations but in unwavering faith that God’s prophetic purposes will prevail—and that His ultimate peace will one day cover the earth in a way no human effort ever could. Christ is coming again soon, and we must be on guard.

We are truly at a turning point.

In a report by Fox News, Turning Point USA Faith has doubled the size of its church network in just the last month since the assassination of TPUSA co-founder, Charlie Kirk.

Spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox that the church network of Turning Point USA has reached 8,000, which is “one of the largest growth spikes in the organization’s history.”

Along with this thrilling news, Kolvet confirmed that over 200,000 new Christians have decided to engage with the organization, and Turning Point’s social media presence has increased by 1,000% in terms of streams, views, and followers.

Kolvet said that Kirk started Turning Point USA Faith during the pandemic. Before his assassination, there were approximately 4,000 churches part of the network, meaning they had actually doubled in size within just a month.

“So, what we’re doing in the faith space has more than a testament to the legacy that Charlie Kirk has left,” Kolvet said. “There’s so many anecdotes and so many people that have come to us, sent us see it in the social media comments saying, ‘Charlie re-inspired my faith. I’m going back to church. I’m praying for my husband. Our marriage has been saved…'”

What the enemy meant for evil, God is clearly turning for good. In the wake of unimaginable tragedy, a fresh wind of revival has swept through the nation, breathing new life into the vision Charlie Kirk carried to see faith restored in America. Charlie’s life and death are proof that when one voice is silenced for the gospel, God raises a thousand more. From college campuses to pulpits, people are awakening with renewed conviction, returning to prayer and standing boldly for truth.

As the movement continues to grow, it’s evident that we are truly at a turning point—not just for a generation, but for the body of Christ in America. The legacy of Charlie Kirk now burns like a torch in the hands of thousands who refuse to let his mission die, and that mission is to spread the gospel to the very ends of the earth.

There’s no question about it: We are living in a time of the great falling away of the church.

In a report by Protestia, Claremont United Church, part of the United Church of Christ, recently combined pop culture and a church message together by discussing Netflix’s new hit, “KPop Demon Hunters.”

That’s right. A church did a message on a film promoting the demonic. What followed wasn’t a rebuttal against its dark and dangerous themes. Instead, they not only embraced the film’s message, but also took communion in honor of it.

As Protestia noted, Rev. Jacob Buccholz gave the film high praises and accolades after he watched it with his transgender nephew, calling it “…so good. The characters, the music, the themes, the message, all incredible.”

Buccholz then blatantly denied the existence of real-life demons.

“I’ve always been uncomfortable with the way that modern evangelicals talk about demons and the demonic as if they are some sort of literal externalized force, walking through the world, causing havoc and tempting people away from God,” Buccholz said. “Because when we imagine demons as real, it allows us to attribute the evil of our world to something outside of ourselves, as if it originates from some sort of non-human source…”

Scripture is very clear about the reality of the demonic. Ephesians 6:12 tells us, “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Jesus also says in Luke 10:18 that He saw “Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Before He ascended to heaven, Christ made it clear that the mission He was leaving behind to His disciples was to preach the gospel to all creation, baptize them, and make disciples of all nations, which included signs such as casting out demons (Mark 16:15-16). Since when did any of these verses become mere analogies instead of actuality?

Things only got worse from here. After Buccholz’s message, the church then took communion while songs from the film played in the background.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time such tragedies have occurred in the church. Last year, we saw The Church of the Holy Spirit in Germany host a worship service dedicated solely to singing Taylor Swift songs, calling it “Anti-Hero—Taylor Swift Church Service.” Swift’s music has also grown much darker over the years, being blatantly provocative and centered around Christian mockery.

Scripture tells us that many will say, “Lord, Lord,” but He will not know who they are on the day of judgment. The demonic is no longer hiding in subtle ways, but is being outwardly embraced by the culture at large. Unfortunately, many churches would rather embrace this darkness than stand against it. However, the truth of the gospel tells us that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. The name of Jesus will be lifted at the end of it all: It is simply our choice as to whether we will share this truth with those around us, or if we would rather partner with darkness for the applause of men.

We are given two options at the end of the day. To either hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant” or “Depart from me, I never knew you.” Ultimately, the choice is ours.

We may be witnessing one of the greatest celestial phenomena of all time.

Scientists have recently discovered a second moon that orbits in alignment with the Earth’s path. In a report by the Daily Mail, it was noted that this confirmed “quasi-moon,” which is being dubbed as 2025 PN7, will stay in orbit with the Earth until 2083.

The discovery of this new “moon” was first released by scientists with the Pan–STARRS observatory in Hawaii last month. This quasi-moon is actually an “asteroid that has been orbiting the Sun on a similar trajectory to our planet since the 1960s,” as the Mail stated. In another report by GeekSpin, it was noted that this asteroid is only 18 to 36 meters wide, making it about the same size as a small building.

2025 PN7 cannot be seen with the naked eye alone, nor is it tied to Earth’s gravity, as it will find its way back out into space someday. This is not the first “quasi-satellite” that experts have uncovered. Back in 1991, “1991 VG” was located nearby, which brought many to believe it was an alien craft.

As the heavens continue to unveil their mysteries, believers are reminded that Jesus Himself foretold there would be “signs in the sun, moon and stars” before His return. In Joel 2:10-11, we see what the end times skies will look like:

Before them the earth quakes, the heavens shake; the sun and moon darken, and the stars withdraw their radiance. The Lord has sounded His voice before His army, for His camp is exceedingly great; mighty is the one who accomplishes His word. For great is the day of the Lord, and very awe-inspiring. Who can endure it?

Those who know Scripture understand that the heavens are declaring more than just scientific phenomena—they’re proclaiming that history is racing toward a climactic conclusion. As we draw closer to the end of the age, we can expect to see more unusual celestial activity as a reminder that Jesus is coming soon.

President Donald Trump continues to make himself known as the president of peace.

In a ceremony at the White House, Trump received the Architect of Peace Award from the Richard Nixon Foundation. In a video posted by the White House to social media, Trump can be seen accepting the high honor.

According to the Nixon Foundation’s website, the award was established in 1995, shortly after Nixon died in 1994. The foundation states that this award is given to “individuals who embody [Nixon’s] lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world.” The foundation also quotes Nixon from his first inaugural address, where he said, “The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker.”

As the Washington Times reported, chairman of the board of directors Robert C. O’Brien said that as a recipient of this award, Trump will “join a pantheon of peacemakers who put into practice the principles that defined President Nixon’s own vision for a more peaceful world.” The president was determined to gain this prize due to his efforts in facilitating the Abraham Accords, resolving conflicts with Serbia and Kosovo, and brokering multiple ceasefire agreements worldwide.

Trump has been widely hailed for acting as a mediator between Israel and Gaza, and has recently received the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor and Egypt’s Order of the Nile Peace Award.

In a world increasingly drawn to spirituality without truth, Rabbi Schneider and Katie Souza are reminding believers that God’s ancient laws still carry divine power for today—especially in the realm of deliverance and protection from deception.

“We know we’re not under the law,” he told Souza. “Jesus lived out the Law perfectly, shed His blood, died in our place and then imputed His righteousness to us. But the mistake we make as a church is thinking that because we’re not under the Law, the Law no longer has relevance.”

Rabbi Schneider emphasized that the Torah’s commandments aren’t a burden, but a revelation of God’s very nature. “The Law,” he explained, “is a self-revelation of Laws of the Torah are not opposite the grace of God. The Laws of the Torah are a preliminary grace.”

That freedom, Rabbi Schneider explained, includes deliverance from demonic influence. “When the Lord forbids witchcraft, sorcery and ‘s a source of protection,” he said.

He warned that many believers unknowingly invite spiritual darkness into their lives through entertainment, trauma or even relationships. “How many believers are tormented by spirits because they enjoy watching movies that produce fear?” he asked.

Souza agreed, noting, “Even this one Law—the prohibition against witchcraft—will stop people from falling into the pit the enemy dug for them,” she said.

In this hour of heightened spiritual warfare, believers can no longer afford to blur the lines between what is holy and what is profane. The world is overflowing with counterfeit light—forms of spirituality that promise power but lead only to bondage. God’s laws were never meant to restrain His people; they were given to protect and empower them to walk in purity, discernment and freedom.
