The signs of the end times are piling up—from wars and natural disasters to strange changes in the skies.

For Tom Cote, host of the Watchman River YouTube channel, these aren’t just coincidences; they’re warnings. And the latest one appeared right above his head.

“I saw something I’ve never seen before,” Cote said. “The sky was white. The sky was literally white.”

What stunned him wasn’t just the color, but what appeared against it: “puffy clouds intermittently placed in front of the white sky.” He turned to his wife and asked, “Have you ever seen this before?” She replied, “I’ve never seen this before.”

Cote believes these aren’t random atmospheric oddities. “We are in the last days,” he said. “We’re waiting for Jesus to come back… we are waiting.” He pointed to Luke 21:28: when these things begin to happen, believers are to “look up” because “our redemption is drawing near.”

He recalled another moment of concern: “When I was a child, the sun was golden.” Now, he said, it looks like “the whitest, brightest LED light you’ve ever seen.” Though hesitant to bring it up, fearing backlash, he was shocked when viewers said they’d noticed the same shift.

“These things are spiritual,” Cote said plainly. “Say it with me. It’s a spiritual thing.”

His plea is heartfelt and urgent: “Do you belong to Jesus? I really hope you do.” As the skies shift and the world groans, Cote is convinced these signs are sounding the trumpet—and he’s calling the church to be ready.

In a deeply moving moment at the European Congress on Evangelism, evangelist Franklin Graham shared that he met earlier in the day with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to pray for peace amid the ongoing war with Russia.

The announcement came Tuesday evening during a session of the congress, which is being hosted by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in Berlin and has drawn over 1,000 evangelical leaders from 56 countries. Graham, who leads the BGEA, took the stage and led attendees in prayer after disclosing his meeting with the Ukrainian leader.

“Today, I had the privilege to meet with President Zelensky,” Graham told the audience. “And I prayed with him that God will give them wisdom and that God will give them a path forward for peace.”

Graham emphasized the growing instability in Europe and reminded delegates that the region has once again become a battleground. “We see war again on this continent,” he said. “And I have had the opportunity in the past of meeting [Russian] President Putin and sharing with him what we as Evangelicals believe.”

He reflected on his earlier encounter with the Russian leader, noting, “Now, when I said that to him, he kind of listened very politely, but maybe it was the first time he understood. He was probably thinking this is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. I don’t know.”

BGEA has previously reached out to both leaders, encouraging them to seek God in the midst of conflict. But for Graham, prayer is not a last resort—it is the front line. “Only God can solve this,” he said, acknowledging the complexities on both sides of the war.

Calling the congress to a time of collective intercession, Graham urged, “I think the most important thing maybe we can do for the next few minutes is to pray, and to pray for Ukraine, to pray for Russia, for the leaders of these countries and for the president of my country (U.S.), President Trump, that God will give a way forward.”

Delegates responded, lifting their voices in prayer for several minutes. Graham then closed with his own prayer:

“Father, we pray tonight for President Putin,” he said. “And Father, we pray that you would give him wisdom, that you would work in his heart, and that he would desire to have peace.
“And Father, we pray for President Zelensky, that you would work in his heart, and that desire for peace would be in his heart as well.
“And Father, we pray that you would give them a path. A path that would allow them to move forward.
“Father, we believe you’re the only one who can do this.
“We pray for President Trump. Give him wisdom as to what to do and what to say and how he can use his office to bring peace to this part of the world or to help bring it.
“So, Father, none of this can happen without you. We’ve got to have your help. That you would guide and direct. You can open doors and you can close doors.
“So, God, we thank you and we praise you. So tonight, Father, we give you the glory. And we pray all of this in the name of your son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Graham’s call to prayer follows a press conference earlier that day, when he was asked if he had a word of encouragement for European evangelicals facing fear and uncertainty amid government warnings and preparations for potential escalation. His response was simple, but firm.

“Prayer is the most important thing we can do,” he said. “And that is to pray for President Putin, President Zelensky and the leaders in both countries that God would work in their hearts to find a solution to this war.”

He continued, “Thousands upon thousands of people have been killed. No one even actually knows the numbers, but we know it’s horrific. And it needs to come to an end.”

Graham urged Christians around the world to remain steadfast and hopeful. “Pray that God would somehow touch the hearts of these men and bring them to a point of reconciliation. And at least where the killing would stop, and they could negotiate instead of trying to blow each other up. And that’s what I would encourage the church to do.”

In a time when peace may seem impossible, Graham’s message is a bold reminder that with God, the impossible becomes possible. Prayer, he insists, is the most powerful tool we have to see miracles unfold—even the miracle of peace in the midst of war.

During a recent episode of Prophecy Watchers, host Gary Stearman and author L.A. Marzulli pointed to the intensifying global chaos as evidence that the rapture of the church may be near.

“I think we’re closer than most people would think,” Marzulli said. “I think it’s really close. I really do.”

Referencing 1 Thessalonians 5:3, Stearman noted, “For when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction shall come upon them as travail upon a woman with child.” He emphasized that the world’s present state matches biblical descriptions of end-times upheaval. “Biblically speaking, the rapture is always embedded in the scenario of global revolution,” Stearman said.

Marzulli echoed the sentiment: “We are at the point where you can’t fix this anymore.”

Highlighting Israel’s prophetic role, Marzulli cited Amos 9:14-15 as proof of God’s ongoing covenant. “They will build the way cities and inhabit them. Check. They will plant vineyards and drink the wine from them. Check… And here’s the kicker. I will plant them in their land, and never again will they be plucked up out of the land I have given them.”

Concerns were also raised about the rise of artificial intelligence and its potential role in end-times deception. “You don’t know what you’re looking at is real,” Marzulli said. “This is demonic. This is real Frankenstein.”

Stearman added, “In a sense, AI is creating itself… If this isn’t Antichrist stuff, I don’t know what is.”

The conversation also covered the October 7, attacks on Israel, the persecution of Christians worldwide, and the growing push for globalism. Marzulli remarked, “The player to watch is Turkey… That’s his belief system. That’s his core.”

When asked about objections to a pre-tribulation rapture, Marzulli responded, “We’re not appointed to wrath… We are the bride of Christ, which didn’t exist until after the crucifixion and then Pentecost when the spirit comes in.”

As the conversation came to a close, both men reaffirmed their hope in Christ’s return. “Keep looking up,” Marzulli said. “Because as Gary says, we are.”

Jan Markell, host of Understanding the Times Radio, recently sat down with Pastor Mark Henry to discuss whether America is entering a “golden age” or simply witnessing a brief pause in the prophetic timeline.

With President Trump declaring a new era of prosperity, many Christians are questioning what this means in light of biblical prophecy.

“God’s agenda never pauses. It is never on hold,” Markell said, reminding listeners that no political development can override divine timing.

Pastor Mark Henry emphasized the difference between political rhetoric and theological truth.

While Trump’s administration may bring economic relief and stronger ties to Israel, Henry pointed out that “living under a curse… it’s still a fallen world.” The true golden age, they affirmed, will come only when Christ returns to establish His millennial kingdom.

“No one’s going to be disappointed with the age that Jesus brings,” Henry added.

The discussion also touched on Israel’s prophetic role, globalist agendas and media voices like Tucker Carlson, whose criticisms of Israel reflect a broader lack of theological understanding. Markell and Henry warn that spiritual discernment is crucial as world events continue to accelerate toward fulfillment.

In the story of Hannah, tucked into the first chapter of 1 Samuel, we find a powerful reminder: God’s favor often begins in the most unfavorable circumstances.

“Hannah’s name means favor,” said Apostle John Eckhardt in a recent message. “Very interesting that her name is favor, but she seems to be in an unfavorable situation.”

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

Barren, mocked and misunderstood, Hannah still clung to faith. In a time when Israel’s priesthood was corrupt and spiritually dim, she dared to cry out to God.

“She makes a promise to God, she makes a vow to God that if He would open her womb and give her a child, that she would dedicate the child to the Lord,” Eckhardt said. God answered her with Samuel, whose name means “answered by God.”

That one child, born from one woman’s persistent prayer, would go on to shift the destiny of a nation. “There would have been no Samuel without a Hannah,” Eckhardt said. “Because of Hannah, we look at Samuel, but there’ll be no Samuel without his mother.”

This isn’t just a story from ancient times, it’s a prophetic picture for today.

Eckhardt encouraged, “So mothers, believe God for favor upon your life, believe God for favor to come upon your children, upon your children’s children. Let the favor of God, let me say this, generational favor.”

Every mother, every woman of God, carries the potential to release world-changing purpose. “You are not just another person on the planet,” Eckhardt said. “You are valuable, you are precious, you are favored by God.”

Favor doesn’t come because circumstances are perfect. It comes because God is faithful. So to every mother holding onto a promise, don’t give up. What you’re carrying might just be the answer that transforms generations.

For many Christians, the question of cremation isn’t just practical, it’s deeply theological. If Scripture teaches that our physical bodies will be raised from the dead, then what happens if that body has been reduced to ashes?

In a recent video, Bible teacher and content creator Kap Chatfield addressed this question head-on: “What does the Bible actually say about cremation? If Christians are promised resurrection, what happens if you’re cremated or you cremate a loved one?”

It’s a topic that causes concern for many believers, especially those who take Jesus’ words in John 6:40 seriously: “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day,” (MEV).

Chatfield was clear that the Resurrection promise isn’t poetic—it’s literal. “He’s saying, ‘If you belong to me, I will raise your body from the dead.’”

The question then arises—what if that body no longer exists in its original form? According to Chatfield, Scripture doesn’t place any restrictions on how a body must return to the earth. “The Bible never actually says that cremation is a sin. There’s no command in Scripture that forbids it.”

While burial was practiced in ancient Israel, Chatfield emphasized that it was a cultural norm, not a divine mandate. “God never says, ‘You must be buried to be raised.’”

In fact, Scripture offers a broader view of human origin and destiny. “Genesis 3:19, ‘For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.’ Psalm 103:14 says, ‘He knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.’”

The God who created life from dust can also resurrect it from ashes. “God made Adam from the dust. Literal dirt. No bones, no ashes, no organs, no flesh, no blood, just raw earth and his God’s spirit,” Chatfield said. “So the idea that cremation could stop God from raising someone is just not consistent with who he is and what he’s done in the past.”

Referencing Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones, Chatfield noted, “If he can do that with dry scattered bones, he can handle cremated remains.”

And when it comes to what truly matters, Chatfield reminds viewers: “What matters most is who holds your spirit, not what condition your body is in when you die. Because the same God who formed you the first time knows exactly how to raise you the second time.”

So should Christians avoid cremation? Chatfield turned to Romans 14:5: “Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.” He added, “This is a conscience issue, not a salvation issue.”

Join Charisma Magazine Online to follow everything the Holy Spirit is doing around the world!

For those still unsure, he brought the discussion back to the most critical point. “The real question isn’t will God raise someone who was cremated. The real question is, are you in Christ?”

As Chatfield declared, quoting John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.”

Whether buried or cremated, those who belong to Jesus will rise. That’s a promise written in eternal stone, not scattered in ashes.

In a prophetic deep-dive sermon, Jonathan Cahn unveiled the profound parallels between the books of Ezekiel and Revelation—highlighting a divine blueprint that threads together restoration, judgment and ultimate glory.

“Ezekiel is seeing a vision of the temple of the millennial kingdom,” Cahn began. “The millennial kingdom is a shadow of the eternal kingdom that is shown in Revelation. What John is seeing is the eternal.”

At the center of both prophetic books lies the Resurrection and restoration of God’s people. “Ezekiel is the book of the Hebrew Scripture that has the Resurrection and of God’s people,” Cahn noted. He then pointed to the vivid connection between Ezekiel’s gathering of Israel and Revelation’s depiction of eternal comfort: “God is saying in the last days I’m going to gather Israel from the ends of the earth as a shepherd gathers his flock… For the lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of water and God will wipe away their tears.”

But it doesn’t end there. The ancient war of Gog and Magog, long mysterious to many, takes center stage in both books. “You will come against my people like a cloud,” Cahn quoted from Ezekiel, then tied it to Revelation 20: “They came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints… and fire came down from heaven and consumed them.”

Following this divine intervention, both prophets are given visions of an extraordinary city. “He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain… something like the structure of a city,” Ezekiel saw. Revelation echoes: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth… and I saw the holy city… prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”

Even the measurements align. “The city is laid out four square. Its length is as great as its width,” Cahn read from Revelation, connecting it to Ezekiel’s temple, “four square… the altar was in front of the temple.”

In a poignant moment, Cahn described the return of God’s glory to the temple, a reversal of its earlier departure. “The glory of the Lord came and entered the house by the way of the gate facing the east… and the glory of the Lord filled the house.” This return is not only historical but messianic. “The Lord God of Israel has entered through it. Therefore, it shall be shut.”

Cahn emphasized how the Eastern Gate was sealed in Jerusalem to prevent Messiah’s return, yet this act, ironically, mirrors prophecy. “By trying to stop the prophecy, they fulfill the prophecy,” he said.

Bringing it full circle, Cahn turned to the river of life flowing from the temple in Ezekiel and from the throne in Revelation. “These waters go out… to the Dead Sea… the sea of death will become a sea of life.” Revelation seals the message: “He showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God.”

The vision ends where heaven begins. “The name of the city from that day on shall be ‘Adonai Shamah’—The Lord is there,” Cahn declared. “Heaven is Adonai Shamah. Where the Lord is, there will be heaven.”

A recent declaration by Pope Leo XIV has stirred renewed interest in the centuries-old Prophecy of the Popes, a controversial and mysterious list of papal predictions attributed to 12th-century Irish bishop St. Malachy.

The final entry of the prophecy reads, “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations. And when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.”

Until now, skeptics like Josh Peck of Daily Renegade expressed doubts that Pope Leo XIV had any notable connection to this final line. “Besides the fact that he’s pope… you could say Peter about any pope,” Peck noted. “So what about Peter the Roman specifically ties to this pope? Why this pope and no other pope?”

But that skepticism may be shifting.

According to a report from Catholic News Agency, during a ceremonial visit with Rome’s mayor, Pope Leo declared, “Today I can say that through you and with you I am Roman.” That statement has ignited speculation that Leo may fit the final prophetic description more closely than any of his predecessors.

Peck emphasized the significance: “He’s calling himself Roman. The mayor is saying that the city of Rome is his… This kind of meeting hasn’t even happened since 1978.”

During his remarks, Pope Leo also stated, “Shortly after the election, I told the brothers and sisters gathered in St. Peter’s Square, that I am with them a Christian, and for them a bishop. Today, in a special way, I can say that through you and with you, I am Roman.”

In addition to that striking declaration, Pope Leo emphasized his role as a shepherd and his commitment to service: “I feel the serious yet passionate responsibility to serve all its members with the faith of the people of God and the common good of society foremost in my heart.”

That language bears a resemblance to the prophecy’s reference to Peter the Roman pasturing his sheep in tribulation.

Still, Peck remains cautious. “I’m waiting and seeing what happens with it… this is very, very, very interesting with the whole prophecy.” While the pope’s name is not Peter—something some say is essential—Peck notes others argue all popes are successors of Peter and thus spiritually bear the name.

Whether this marks the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy—or simply another papal formality—remains to be seen. But the symbolism and timing are hard to ignore.

“Could this be enough that makes Pope Leo a good candidate for Peter the Roman… or is this just too flimsy?” Peck asked his viewers.

Only time will tell whether this moment marks the start of a prophetic fulfillment, or just another chapter in the long and often mysterious history of the Catholic Church.

A worship event in Seattle erupted into chaos last weekend as protesters clashed with Christians gathered for a revival at Cal Anderson Park.

Revivalist Ross Johnston, one of the event’s co-leaders, described it as “the wildest three days of my entire life in ministry.”

Johnston told CBN News’ Raj Nair that while they had anticipated possible protests, “we found out very quickly that the protesters weren’t going to be peaceful and had another agenda in mind.”

🚨NOW: CHRISTIANS TARGETED BY VIOLENCE WORSHIP AT SEATTLE CITY HALL

Days after these Christians were assaulted by leftists and maligned and lied about by @MayorofSeattle, they gathered on the steps of Seattle City Hall and sings “Holy Forever.”

Here are the full lyrics:

A…

— Pastor Travis Johnson (@BasedPastorTrav) May 28, 2025

According to Johnston, a protester rushed the stage and was intercepted by a member of the worship team. “Otherwise, the headline… might be ‘revivalist preacher Ross punches a protester on stage to defend himself,’” he said.

The confrontation escalated into what Johnston called “a riot in Seattle.” He reported, “There was 23 arrests made, all on the protester side. One police officer ended up in the hospital.” He also revealed disturbing incidents: “One of them actually pulled a knife and threatened a 17-year-old on our side… while the kids were getting haircuts, there was actually sexually, you know, explicit lewd acts being done directly in front of the children.”

Far-left extremist groups including Antifa, Trantifa and the Communist Party of America were among the protestors. Johnston said some clergy members who “affirmed same-sex attraction [and] same-sex marriage” also showed up in opposition. “We had the entire gauntlet, so to speak,” he said.

While some accused Johnston’s team of choosing Cal Anderson Park to provoke controversy, he clarified that they initially requested a permit for Pike Place but were redirected by the city. “The city refused and said, ‘Hey, we recommend Cal Anderson Park.’”

Seattle’s mayor responded just one hour after the incident, claiming the Christian group was “attacking his community.” Johnston pushed back, saying, “Are you talking about the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution? I mean, what are we talking about here?” He added, “He was ultimately, without saying it, choosing a side. He was choosing the protester side.”

Johnston’s personal testimony added an unexpected layer to the controversy. “I grew up in a lesbian household with two moms… I became a born-again Christian [at age 15]… I have a lesbian mom till this day who I love, who I have a great relationship with… She’s a financial donor in my ministry.”

To those who accused him of hate, Johnston said, “There was 23 arrests. All of them were on the protesters’ side… There was water balloons with urine being thrown. There was two people who rushed the stage. I mean, those are just the facts.”

He closed the interview by declaring what he believes God is doing in Seattle: “We are in revival and reformation… to reach every major sphere of society in hopes that the greatest harvest in recorded history would take place in our generation.”

Events like this provide a sobering glimpse into a possible future, where cities like Seattle may increasingly attempt to outlaw Christianity in the public square. From banning public prayer and worship to silencing the name of Jesus itself, the tide is turning. The mayor’s statement — effectively labeling Christian beliefs as hate — is a chilling sign of what may lie ahead.

As Christians, we must prepare for a time when proclaiming the gospel may lead to violent threats, imprisonment or even death. But we are called to stand firm. Now more than ever, we must be bold enough to speak the name of Jesus, no matter the cost.

Evangelist Perry Stone is warning believers that the United States is under an unprecedented level of spiritual warfare, with specific cities being targeted by high-ranking demonic entities known as “prince spirits.”

In a recent episode of Manna-Fest, Stone said, “There are prince spirits that are moving into cities in the United States. They have been over areas and regions, but now they are targeting particular cities.”

Referencing Ephesians 6:12, Stone explained that spiritual warfare operates through a hierarchy of demonic forces. “A prince spirit is a spirit that is one of the highest ranking spirits directly under Satan who is given more authority,” he said. “There’s levels of authority. There’s levels of wickedness.”

Three Reasons Cities Are Being Targeted

Stone outlined three main reasons why these principalities are focusing their efforts on U.S. cities:

1. High Spiritual Activity: “They position themselves over cities where there is spiritual activity and it’s very high,” he said, noting the presence of large churches and ministries.
2. Spiritual Threat Assessment: “The threat assessment was—we have to keep his ministry out of this area,” Stone recalled from a past attack on a fellow minister.
3. Opposition to God’s Plan: “They position in an area to hinder the movement of God’s plan… God’s heart is the harvest. Satan’s plan is to stop the harvest.”

Stone says it’s not just people falling into sin—it’s much deeper. “We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood,” he warns. “We wrestle against the spirit that’s moving or motivating the flesh and blood.”

What Can Be Done?

Prayer isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Stone credits much of his ministry’s protection to the prayers of a woman he called Aunt Bee, who organized 1,800 intercessors in the “Daughters of Rachel” prayer team. “Because of her prayers, we lost an engine in a plane and God showed her it happened. She prayed for one hour and a half… She was on it the moment the engine failed until we landed.”

And when it comes to breaking the power of these prince spirits, Stone is clear: “Daniel, in order to break the prince spirits, he did two things. He went on a 21-day fast and he prayed continually.”

He emphasized that online speculation or public commentary is not enough.

“If all you do is this—we get nowhere. We do nothing. Everything comes to a halt,” he said. “I’m asking some praying saints… to get together in your local churches. Ask your pastor and say, ‘We need to have prayer meetings and we’re going to be praying every day to break the back of this spirit.’”

Spiritual warfare isn’t a side issue, it’s the battlefield of our times. It’s time the church gets back to fighting where it counts: in the spirit.
