Here’s Why the Rapture Timing Shouldn’t Divide Believers
The topic of the rapture often stirs intense debate among Christians, particularly when it comes to the timing of this long-anticipated event. But rather than dividing the body of Christ, discussions about prophecy should serve to edify, not alienate.
Pastor Kap Chatfield recently shared a passionate message about the pre-tribulation rapture, offering biblical insight with a call to preparedness, without turning doctrine into division.
Chatfield points to a fascinating pattern in the book of Revelation that he believes supports the church being taken before God’s wrath is poured out on the earth.
“The next piece of evidence for pre-tribulation rapture… the church is actually missing after Revelation chapter 3,” Chatfield said. “In chapters 1 through 3… the word church appears 19 different times. Jesus is actually personally addressing seven different churches in Asia… But after Revelation 3:22… the church is never mentioned again. Not even once.”
Still, Chatfield was careful to draw a line between theological debate and salvific essentials. His tone was instructive, not combative, a reminder of how end-times discussions should be handled.
“Again, if this gets clipped up and somebody wants to take it out of context, I’m not saying that the church doesn’t go through some sort of tribulation while we’re on earth,” he clarified. “But there’s a distinct difference between tribulation from the hands of man and tribulation from the hand of God.”
That distinction is important, but even more vital is the spirit with which Christians approach these conversations. Our unity in Christ is not based on the timing of the Rapture, it is based on the finished work of Jesus, who Chatfield rightly reminds us said, “It is finished… the wrath of God paid for in full.”
Whether one believes the church will be caught up before, during, or after the tribulation, let love and humility guide the conversation.
Let us be a people who recognize the patterns of Scripture and prepare our hearts accordingly, without turning differing interpretations into a battlefield.

Prophetic Warning: Beware of Rising Darkness and the Days of Noah
In a thought-provoking interview with Gary Stearman on Prophecy Watchers, L.A. Marzulli warned that artificial intelligence may be laying the groundwork for the coming great deception.
“We are at the point where you can’t fix this anymore,” he said, describing AI as a technology so advanced that it can replicate speech and visuals with such precision that truth is becoming indistinguishable from lies. “You can use AI to create the most vile, obscene clip of you or me… and how do you defend against that?”
Marzulli drew connections between AI, spiritual deception and end-times prophecy, suggesting that these developments are not merely technological but deeply prophetic.
“If this isn’t Antichrist stuff, I don’t know what is,” he said, arguing that a global control system, powered by AI, may play a role in the Antichrist’s future reign. The growing inability to discern truth, he added, is fulfillment of Isaiah’s warning that “truth is thrown into the street.”
Stearman and Marzulli also discussed the prophetic implications of a global alien deception triggered by a nuclear event, aligning with what they believe is described in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Revelation.
The conversation ended on a hopeful note, emphasizing the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church as a divine “rescue mission.” Marzulli said, “We are not appointed to wrath… we are the bride of Christ.”

Faithfulness Means Multiplication: Why God Expects More Than Maintenance
Jesus didn’t just ask us to preserve what we’ve been given. He expects us to multiply it.
In a recent episode of The John Bevere Podcast, John and his son Arden unpacked one of the most striking truths buried in plain sight within Jesus’ teachings: that true faithfulness is defined not by stability, but by multiplication. “Jesus defines faithful as multiplication,” Bevere declared. “God requires many things, but one thing He lists because it’s so important—that we’re faithful.”
The conversation centered on the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, where three servants are entrusted with varying portions of their master’s wealth. One multiplies his five talents into ten. Another doubles two into four. But the third, who simply preserved his one talent, is condemned. “Larry maintains his gift. He doesn’t multiply it. He maintains it. He doesn’t lose it. He just maintains it. But his Lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant.’”
That verse struck a chord with Bevere. “Jesus, You just used the word wicked and servant in the same sentence.”
The underlying message is direct: maintaining what God has given is not enough. “When you hear the word faithful, you should hear in your brain… multiplication,” John said. “Faithfulness is not just being steady or loyal. Faithfulness is taking what God has entrusted to you and producing more.”
And the consequences of ignoring this call? “Take the talent from Larry and give it to Ashley who has 10 talents,” Jesus says in the parable. Bevere explained it plainly: “Larry starts out with one, ends up with zero. Ashley starts out with five and ends up with 11.”
Bevere also confronted the internal struggles many believers face: fear and intimidation. “The number one reason why people don’t multiply? Fear and intimidation,” he said. “Paul said to Timothy twice, ‘The gift of God is in you, but it’s inoperative… because you have a spirit of intimidation.’”
But this isn’t a call to guilt—it’s a call to activation. Arden chimed in, “The giftings of God that you have, the enemy will send intimidation. That could be the fear of man. That could be the fear of failure. That could be the fear of stepping out… But on the other side of them is an opportunity for you to greater experience the giftings that God has placed on your life.”
One of the most inspiring moments came when John shared the testimony of a man named Mike, who gave a $200 offering—every penny he had—and began to receive supernatural business ideas. “Mike said, ‘God said, I want you to give $200.’ He said, ‘That’s all I have.’ And the Holy Spirit whispered, ‘That’s all I’m asking for.’”
The fruit of that obedience was astonishing. “Then it went to $50,000. Then to $100,000. Then to $150,000 every single month above his tithe,” John said. “He lives on anywhere from 10 to 15% of his income… He gives 85 to 90% to the kingdom of God.”
And Mike’s story isn’t the exception—it’s the example. “To everyone who has [multiplied], more will be given, and he or she will have an abundance,” Bevere quoted. “But from him who does not multiply but maintains, even what he or she has will be taken away.”
The message is clear and urgent: “Out of that encounter with God came this entire message that not only are we called, not only are we gifted, but we are called to multiply.”
In a world full of comparison and hesitation, this message offers bold encouragement. You may feel like Larry—with just one talent—but God still expects you to multiply it. You may not have the platform, the income, or the visibility others have. But as Bevere emphasized, “What He’s looking for is not the end result of what you have, but what did you do with what you were given?”
So ask God for the idea. Take that first step of obedience. And trust that faithfulness, in God’s eyes, means fruitfulness.
Because when you multiply your gift, you’re not just being productive—you’re being faithful.

Amb. Mike Huckabee Just Exposed the Hypocrisy of Europe’s Two-State Solution
The idea of carving up the Promised Land for the sake of appeasing globalist demands is not only biblically wrong, it is strategically disastrous. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee took a bold stand recently by turning the spotlight back on France, a nation that has long pushed for the creation of a Palestinian state while enjoying the safety and distance of its European perch.
During an interview with Fox News, Huckabee flipped the narrative on its head. “If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them,” he said. “Carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They are welcome to do that, but they are not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation.” His comment was met with fury from the French, but the message was crystal clear.
“I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing,” Huckabee continued.
This moment caught the attention of Pastor James Kaddis, who addressed the matter directly in a recent video. Kaddis applauded Huckabee’s boldness and criticized the hypocrisy of the international community. “The two-state delusion is exactly that. It is a delusion. There is no context in which a two-state solution works in Israel, especially when the proposed second state is a state that desires the annihilation of the main state.”
Kaddis called out the absurdity of France’s position, especially in the wake of the October 7, Hamas attacks. “France has no business opening their big mouths and actually making any kind of assertion that there should be a Palestinian state in Israel when in reality the people that are saying they supposedly want a Palestinian state… are the same people who terrorized thousands of Israelis.”
President Emmanuel Macron of France did not stop there. He declared that the creation of a Palestinian state was not only a moral duty but a political necessity.
Kaddis fired back, “Baloney! First of all, identify for me Mr. Macron where the morals are. You yourself have zero morals. You have no idea what morality even is.”
Even Germany joined the chorus, drawing the sharpest rebuke from Kaddis. “Germany of all places and all people has no right to tell the Jews what they should do after what they put the Jews through. Come on, let’s really think this through for just one second.”
When European leaders stand shoulder to shoulder, pushing for sanctions and condemnation of Israel, it is no longer a diplomatic discussion. It is a spiritual rebellion against God’s covenant. As Kaddis reminded viewers through the words of Zechariah 12, “And it will be on that day that I will set Jerusalem as a weighty stone to all the peoples. All who carry it will surely gash themselves, and all the nations of the land will be gathered against it.”
That warning is not hyperbole. It is prophecy. “On that day I will seek to destroy all the nations who come out against Jerusalem,” (Zech. 12:9).
The response of Hungary, by contrast, is a welcome reminder that standing with Israel brings clarity and courage. Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Court in protest of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders and his public support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should serve as a model.
To those tempted to side with the crowd, Kaddis offered a blunt warning. “Mess around and find out.”
Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who curse her will face consequences beyond diplomacy. As Huckabee made clear, and Scripture affirms, there is only one rightful owner of the Promised Land. No international summit can override what God has declared.
Let the nations take note.

Who Really Built the Pyramids? L.A. Marzulli Says It Wasn’t Who You Think
“There is a hidden history that’s been deliberately obfuscated from the peoples of the world,” Marzulli declared in a recent video.
For years, he has traveled the globe documenting ancient sites and structures that defy the mainstream archaeological narrative, with a focus on what he calls Nephilim architecture, evidence of supernatural influence in the ancient world.
Marzulli does not mince words when it comes to the Great Pyramid of Giza. “I believe that the Great Pyramid is pre-flood. That’s my take on it.”
He disputes claims that it was constructed as a tomb, pointing to the absence of mummies and lids in the so-called sarcophagus inside the King’s Chamber. “There it’s not a burial. It’s not. And that sarcophagus-like structure in the king’s chamber is not a sarcophagus. There’s no lid to it. We don’t know what it’s used for, but it was used for something.”
More than just mystery surrounds these monuments—the level of engineering precision is something modern builders still struggle to match. “The top of the pyramid is a quarter of an inch off center,” he said. “That’s after placing 2.3 million blocks of stone.”
According to Marzulli, the idea that wooden ramps and copper tools were sufficient to build such wonders is a deception. “Suppose wooden ramps were employed, an entire forest would need to be cleared… Where on earth is the proof of such extensive wood usage?”
He also addressed the methods used to cut and place massive granite blocks: “How the heck do you cut 20-ton blocks of granite with extreme precision and lift them one on top of each other… with wooden ramps?”
As he examined the broader landscape of megalithic sites—from Peru to underwater structures in Japan—Marzulli asked: “Why were they building the same geometry with almost the same techniques?” To him, the answer is not found in copper chisels or slave labor. “Don’t tell us the Inca did it with their goofy copper chisels. We’ve debunked that numerous times… after like six or seven hits, the chisel was completely blunted on the end… but the stone had not a scratch on it.”
The greater danger, he warned, lies not just in misunderstanding our past, but in being deceived about it in the future. “There were only two paradigms. Paradigm one, ancient aliens. Your kids, your grandkids are being indoctrinated into the ancient alien paradigm. Make no mistake about it.”
While the first paradigm being pushed on the masses is the ancient alien narrative, Marzulli firmly stands in opposition.
“It’s not human technology,” he said. “I call it Nephilim architecture, fallen age technology.” The real explanation lies in the biblical account of the pre-flood world, where fallen angels corrupted humanity and introduced advanced knowledge for rebellious purposes.
“If you can’t duplicate Saki Waman… then how was it done?” he asked. “Don’t tell us the Inca did it with their goofy copper chisels. We’ve debunked that numerous times.” For Marzulli, these structures are not monuments to human ingenuity or alien saviors, they are the fingerprints of a spiritual war that began long ago and continues to this day.
As believers in the God of the Bible, we must exercise discernment. Scripture warns in Daniel 12:4 that in the last days “knowledge shall increase,” but so too will deception.
Like the Sons of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do, we must sharpen our spiritual awareness. We must not blindly accept the narratives handed to us but test everything against the truth of God’s Word. The enemy’s lies are subtle, but the Spirit of truth reveals all things.

Prophecy Fulfilled: Kim Clement’s Vision of Putin’s Spiderweb Comes to Life
More than a decade ago, prophetic voice Kim Clement shared a vivid and mysterious vision involving Russian President Vladimir Putin and a spider’s web.
Now, in what can only be described as a stunning prophetic fulfillment, Ukraine has executed a military initiative named Operation Spiderweb, aimed directly at dismantling Russian weapon systems using drones concealed in semi-trucks.
Clement’s daughter, Donné Clement Petruska, reacted in awe during a recent livestream: “My jaw dropped when I realized, when I saw Operation Spiderweb, it just clicked for me.”
In the original prophecy, Clement declared: “The spider’s web is no match for a servant’s broom.” He explained, “It is not going to take a mighty army to bring him down… it shall take a servant to break the spider’s web and it will come down with not much effort.”
Ukraine’s strategy, decentralized, minimal and highly effective, seems to mirror this exact vision. The web Clement warned about, spun “from whatever is inside the spider,” is now unraveling through humble yet strategic efforts. “Spiders feed and fatten themselves on flies,” Clement said, “but the spider’s web is very frail.”

7 Woes of Jesus: Pastor Warns Modern Church Is Repeating Pharisee Mistakes
“This is the hour, this is the moment to be serious about your walk with the Lord Jesus Christ,” thundered Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell during a powerful, end-times-focused sermon on Matthew 23. Preaching from the pulpit of 2819 Church, Mitchell didn’t mince words as he declared that the urgency of the hour demands uncompromising faithfulness to Christ.
He opened by addressing both in-person and online attendees, welcoming seekers but warning them of the stakes: “Our prayer for you is that you would hear the invitation of Christ and that you would hurl yourself at the foot of the cross… before time has run out on you.”
Mitchell reminded his congregation that the series they are in—Entry and End Times—centers on the final words and actions of Jesus. He noted that Jesus began His ministry with blessings (the Beatitudes) but ended it with warnings: “In His first public sermon, He preaches to the people eight blessings. In His last public sermon, He will preach to the people eight woes.”
Mitchell emphasized that this was not a message of comfort, but of confrontation, just as Jesus publicly confronted the religious leaders of His day: “He does not use His last sermon to talk about love… No, He uses His last sermon… to protect the people that He’s leaving behind, of the danger of these ravenous wolves called the Pharisees.”
He then walked through the woes Christ gave—warnings of divine judgment—and how they still apply today.
1. Woe for Shutting the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 23:13)
This woe condemns religious leaders who block access to salvation through false teaching and hypocritical behavior.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.”
Mitchell explained that these leaders “slam the door shut by blocking people from seeing the truth with their false accusations,” and warned, “You are turning people away from gospel truth. And that blood is going to be on your hands when you die.”
2. Woe for Making False Converts (Matt. 23:15)
Jesus rebukes those who convert people into dead religion rather than living faith.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. You travel across the sea and land to make a single proselyte… you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.”
Mitchell highlighted the danger of spiritual zeal without truth: “Oftentimes new converts have more zeal than their teachers. And so now they are spreading your lies more aggressively on social media.”
3. Woe for Being Blind Guides Who Value Gold Over God (Matt. 23:16–22)
This woe reveals how the Pharisees prioritized materialism over holiness, twisting spiritual oaths.
“You blind fools!… For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?… You blind men!”
Mitchell connected this to modern church idolatry, saying, “False teachers are blind fools, blind men, blind guides… They lived in a time in a culture where everybody was lying.”
4. Woe for Legalism Without Justice or Mercy (Matt. 23:23–24)
The Pharisees were meticulous about tithing even their spices, but failed in compassion and faithfulness.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness… You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.”
Mitchell rebuked modern believers for focusing on theological minutiae while ignoring the heart of God: “You are majoring on these tiny things because you’re legalistic, but the other things you’re not doing… Do both. Tithe and love. Tithe and care about people.”
5. Woe for Outward Purity with Inward Corruption (Matt. 23:25–26)
Jesus condemned those who looked holy on the outside but were filthy within.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.”
Mitchell urged his listeners: “We need to stop purifying our external Christianity… and deal with the sinfulness of your heart… Lord, give us a consecrated interior life.”
6. Woe for Hypocrisy and Hidden Death (Matt. 23:27–28)
Jesus likened these leaders to tombs—beautiful outside, but full of decay.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitewashed tombs… outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness.”
Mitchell pointed to the deception of public image: “Y’all think people are holy ’cause they got a big ministry… No. Be more impressed with character than oratory.”
7. Woe for Self-Righteousness and Blood Guilt (Matt. 23:29–36)
The final woe condemns those who honored dead prophets while preparing to murder the living Christ.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites… saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’”
Mitchell challenged this hypocrisy: “Y’all are decorating the tombs of prophets, and before you is the Son of God… and you’re plotting my death.”
Jesus didn’t hold back either when He continued to address the Pharisees: “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?”
Mitchell emphasized: “He’s attaching them to the identity of the devil… Hell is a place that exists… a prison cell like Riker’s Island… Ain’t no purgatory. False doctrine.”
Final Warning: “No Excuses on the Day of Judgment”
As Mitchell closed his sermon, he issued a final sobering charge to the audience:
“The more truth you hear, the more you’re responsible for. It’d be better for you to not hear truth at all than to hear truth and reject it… There’s going to be no excuses on the Day of Judgment.”
He cautioned against hiding behind powerless churches or ignoring what God has made plain: “You can’t tell God, ‘No, I went to that whack church for 30 years that never preached the truth.’”
Though the sermon was a severe indictment against hypocrisy and false teaching, Mitchell ended with a call to action, not despair: “This is the season to be right with Christ. Be serious with Christ. Read that Bible for yourself. Pray, fast, go after Jesus with your whole heart, man… Be a person who opens the door… and run from every woe.”

Pentecost and Prophecy Collide: 9 Harbingers Point to America’s Spiritual Crisis
During Media Day 2025 presented by Charisma Media, Bishop Alan DiDio hosted Rabbi Jonathan Cahn for a compelling discussion on the prophetic meaning of Pentecost and the continuation of a warning first unveiled in The Harbinger. With the biblical feast of Shavuot approaching, Cahn unpacked the spiritual weight of the day and how its meaning intersects with the signs of judgment now appearing in America.
“Pentecost is a Jewish holiday,” Cahn said. “Every Pentecostal is named after a Hebrew holy day. God chose to put the Spirit on this holiday.”
Known in Hebrew as Shavuot, the feast commemorates the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai. Cahn explained that while the Law brought condemnation, the Spirit brought life: “When the Law came down… about 3,000 died. On the next Pentecost… about 3,000 came to salvation. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
As he reflected on the state of America, Cahn warned that we are seeing the same prophetic patterns that once led to the fall of ancient Israel. “The same nine harbingers that appeared in the last days of ancient Israel have now appeared in America on American soil,” he said. “Only God could do that.”
1. The First Harbinger: The Breach
What it represents: The lifting of divine protection and the opening of a nation to attack. Why it matters: This is the first warning that judgment is coming. Fulfillment in America: “On September 11, 2001, America’s hedge of protection was removed—the breach of America’s security,” Cahn said. Just as in 732 B.C. when Israel’s enemies invaded, 9/11 was a wake-up call signaling that God’s protection had been lifted.
2. The Second Harbinger: The Terrorist
What it represents: The enemy who brings destruction under divine judgment. Why it matters: In ancient times, it was the Assyrians. In modern times, it was Islamist terrorists. Fulfillment in America: “The attack on America is carried out by terrorists… children of the Middle East,” said Cahn. “The Assyrians were a Semitic people… So too were the terrorists of 9/11.” The connection reveals that the same kind of enemy is used as an instrument of divine judgment.
3. The Third Harbinger: The Fallen Bricks
What it represents: Visible physical destruction and a national call to rebuilding without repentance. Why it matters: In Israel, fallen buildings symbolized God’s judgment. Fulfillment in America: “On September 11, 2001: the wreckage of Ground Zero,” Cahn stated. The ruins of the World Trade Center became the modern parallel to ancient Israel’s rubble. Rather than turning back to God, America launched into recovery without spiritual change.
4. The Fourth Harbinger: The Tower
What it represents: Defiant rebuilding—higher and stronger—without dependence on God. Why it matters: It’s not restoration through humility, but rebellion through pride. Fulfillment in America: “The Freedom Tower begins to rise at Ground Zero,” Cahn said. “Those involved act unwittingly.” The intention to build higher than before echoes the prideful response of Israel—determined to recover in its own strength.
5. The Fifth Harbinger: The Gazit Stone
What it represents: A quarried stone set as a symbol of national resolve and power. Why it matters: It was a replacement of clay bricks with stronger stone—another symbol of self-confidence. Fulfillment in America: “A stone was quarried out of the mountain rock of New York… and brought back to Ground Zero,” Cahn explained. It was laid ceremonially as a cornerstone of defiant rebuilding. Eventually, the stone was removed—its presence could not fulfill its intended purpose.
6. The Sixth Harbinger: The Sycamore
What it represents: A biblical sign of national judgment—the striking down of a tree linked to divine warning. Why it matters: In Isaiah’s time, Israel’s sycamores were struck down in judgment. Fulfillment in America: “A sycamore tree growing at Ground Zero” was struck down by falling debris from the North Tower, said Cahn. It became known as “The Sycamore of Ground Zero.” A literal sign from God was given, yet not heeded.
7. The Seventh Harbinger: The Erez Tree
What it represents: A stronger tree (conifer or cedar) planted in place of the fallen sycamore—symbolizing arrogance. Why it matters: It reflects the nation’s refusal to heed warning and its determination to emerge stronger on its own terms. Fulfillment in America: “In 2003, a conifer—the biblical Erez—was planted where the sycamore once stood,” Cahn said. It was named The Tree of Hope, yet the tree withered despite all efforts to save it, even dying on a Hebrew holy day—another warning.
8. The Eighth Harbinger: The Utterance
What it represents: A national leader publicly reciting the ancient vow of defiance. Why it matters: In ancient Israel, this utterance was the final confirmation of rebellion. Fulfillment in America: “On September 11, 2004… Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards quoted this exact scripture word for word in Washington, D.C.,” Cahn revealed. “Without realizing it, he was pronouncing judgment on America.”
9. The Ninth Harbinger: The Prophecy
What it represents: The formal prophetic declaration of the ancient vow as a public record. Why it matters: This is the moment the vow of defiance becomes the nation’s official stance. Fulfillment in America: “Tom Daschle… closes his speech [on Sept. 12, 2001] with Isaiah 9:10,” Cahn said. “‘The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone.’” The same words Israel once used in pride were now coming from the mouth of America’s Senate Majority Leader.
Cahn stressed that these harbingers are not just interesting parallels—they are real warnings of coming judgment. “If there was no hope, there would be no harbingers,” he declared. “Why give a warning if there’s no hope?”
He also revealed that Ground Zero is not just the site of America’s tragedy but also of its spiritual foundation. “The only building protected [on 9/11] was that little stone chapel where America was dedicated to God,” Cahn said. “That was the consecration ground.”
The parallels are no longer coincidental—they are prophetic. America has followed the same pattern of defiance that once led to Israel’s destruction. But as Cahn reminded viewers, “The call is not to fear—it is to return.”
As Pentecost approaches, Cahn offered a final challenge: “We need to not just pray for revival seriously, but also live in revival. We’ve got to choose it.”
There is still time to return to God, but only if the warnings are heeded. As the harbingers continue to manifest and the world drifts deeper into rebellion, the Holy Spirit is still calling the remnant to stand, to pray and to turn the nation back to the Lord.

We Are Living Inside Prophecy: The Bible, Israel and the Boulder Firebombing
The world is shifting, and fast.
A horrifying terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, targeting elderly pro-Israel demonstrators, is not just another act of violence. It is a prophetic warning. And if the church is not grounded in Scripture right now, it risks being swept up in the delusion foretold for the last days.
A group of senior citizens in downtown Boulder, part of the “Run for Their Lives” initiative, had gathered peacefully to raise awareness for Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. These men and women, aged between 52 and 88, were praying and standing in solidarity with Israel.
An Egyptian national named Muhammad Sabri Solomon, reportedly in the United States illegally, ambushed the crowd with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, all while screaming, “Free Palestine.” One woman was set ablaze. Eight people were hospitalized.
This was not protest, it was terrorism.
A group of elderly people were firebombed on American soil for supporting Israel. And what was the national response? Much of the mainstream media buried the story. Why? Because this doesn’t fit their narrative. But it does fit God’s narrative.
The spiritual blindness of our culture is staggering. But Scripture foresaw this. Zechariah 12:3 proclaims, “I will set Jerusalem as a weighty stone to all the peoples. All who carry it will surely gash themselves, and all the nations of the land will be gathered against it.”
Revelation 12 shows us Satan’s fury redirected at Israel after failing to stop the Messiah. From Gaza to Boulder, this isn’t just geopolitics, it’s a spiritual war breaking through into the natural.
This isn’t hyperbole. This is prophecy unfolding in real time.
President Donald Trump condemned the Boulder attack in no uncertain terms, a critical stance for a nation that still has some measure of blessing because of its historic support of Israel.
But we must ask: What happens when the next president does not? The Bible warns what comes to those who curse what God has blessed (Gen. 12:3).
“As surely as the Lord lives, I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors,” says Jeremiah 16:15. The hatred we see rising is helping to fulfill this promise. It’s pushing the Jewish people back to the land of Israel in a prophetic aliyah that prepares the way for the final chapters of human history.
Watchmen on the wall, take heed. Jonathan Cahn and other prophetic voices have long warned us to watch Israel, and especially the Temple Mount. It is “the epicenter of the final conflict between light and darkness,” and the place to which Christ will return.
We must pray. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” says Psalm 122:6. And we must not be silent. Isaiah 62:6-7 commands us to “give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a glory in the earth.” This is about obedience—not to politics—but to the covenant God made with His people.
We are not waiting for prophecy to begin. We are living inside it.
So church, be watchful. Be faithful. And be counted among those who bless what God has blessed.

Greg Laurie Reveals the Hidden Danger After Victory: Why We Fall After Success
Pastor Greg Laurie, in a recent message on the prophet Elijah, offered a timely and uplifting word for believers who find themselves discouraged, even after moments of great spiritual success.
“Times of depression and vulnerability often come after great victories,” Laurie said. Using the dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel from 1 Kings 18 as a backdrop, Laurie explained how Elijah, the same prophet who called down fire from heaven and defeated 850 false prophets, soon fled in fear from Jezebel’s threat.
“You would think Elijah, the guy who called fire from heaven, the guy who raised a boy from the dead, a guy who stopped the rain, you’re afraid of the threat of one woman? Yes, he was,” Laurie said. “Why, though? Simple answer, James 5:17. Because Elijah was as human as we are.”
Laurie’s words cut through the myth that strong believers are immune to emotional lows. He reminded listeners that even spiritual giants like Moses, Jonah and Paul wrestled with despair: “Moses became so blue he asked God to take his life. Jonah… said the same thing. Even the apostle Paul got so down, he said he despaired of life.”
What leads to this post-victory plunge? Laurie suggested that misplaced expectations can play a role. “Maybe Elijah was hoping that Ahab would come around spiritually. Maybe he even thought that Jezebel would believe. But it was the opposite.”
For believers navigating emotional valleys, Laurie offered four key points of encouragement.
First, don’t isolate. “When you are depressed, do not isolate, but surround yourself with friends,” he urged. “Elijah should have had a trusted friend who could encourage him.” Even Jesus, Laurie pointed out, asked his closest disciples to sit with Him during His darkest hour in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Jesus didn’t need a sermon… But He did need a little companionship.”
Second, get perspective from God’s Word. In the wilderness, God asked Elijah a piercing question: “What are you doing here?” Laurie applied this personally: “Maybe somebody listening to me right now finds themselves in a cave of sorts… and the Lord’s saying, ‘What are you doing here?’”
Third, be willing to let go of sin. “Not everybody wants to be free from the lifestyle they’ve chosen,” Laurie warned. “But some do. And if you want to be free… say, ‘Yes, Lord, heal me.’”
Fourth, remember that God is always in control. Citing Romans 8, Laurie reminded viewers that God speaks to our past (“There is now no condemnation…”), our present (“All things work together for good…”), and our future (“Nothing will ever stop God from loving you”).
To anyone struggling today, Laurie delivered a heartfelt reassurance: “God is not mad at you. God is mad about you. He can’t keep His eyes off of you.”
And just like God met Elijah in the wilderness, Laurie believes He’ll meet you too. “If you want to be healed, you call out to Him and He’ll hear your voice.”
For those who feel weary after winning, that reminder may be just what they need.
