In a recent episode of Manna-Fest, Bible teacher Perry Stone issued a strong message to families, identifying what he believes are “three stunning last day warnings” directly from Scripture. Speaking candidly, Stone said, “We know that we’re living in the last days, or at least we believe that we are.”

Stone began by clarifying what the phrase “last days” means from his perspective: “The final period of time marked by specific signs that indicate the arrival of the final generation of people on Earth that will experience the return of Christ, the tribulation, and the arrival of the Lord’s millennial kingdom.”

Here are the three warnings Stone says families need to take seriously:

1. Deception will increase.
“Matthew 24 mentions deception four times. Luke 21 mentions deception one time. Mark 13 mentions deception two times,” Stone said. “Deception is causing someone to accept as true something that is false or invalid.”

2. Offense and division will divide families.
“Do you suppose I am come to bring peace on earth? I tell you not at all, but rather division. From now on, five in one house will be divided, three against two and two against three,” Stone quoted from Jesus. He added, “The offense is the bait that creates the scandal. Once the scandal has been created, then he creates a division.”

3. Endurance and forgiveness are essential.
“He that can endure to the end shall be saved,” Stone emphasized. “If you get in unforgiveness in Matthew six, God will not forgive your sins.”

Stone leaves us with a challenge: “God wants you to know something about offenses because offenses create scandals, and the whole purpose of Satan creating an offense is to try to create a scandal in a ministry or in a church.”

Artificial intelligence may be more than just a technological marvel, it could be the very fulfillment of end-times prophecy, according to Pastor John Barnett.

In his recent teaching, Barnett explored 1 John 2:18 and Revelation 13, tying the rise of AI and voice synthesis technology directly to the image of the Beast described in Scripture. “The Bible clearly teaches that we can expect an invasion from the pit in the last states,” Barnett said. “Now it’s already started. John said… it’s here.”

Pointing to demonic influence already seeping through society, he warned, “There is such a crossover now in gaming into the demonic world… Most of the Marvel series is talking about powers that God does not give… Who is the god of this world?”

As acceptance and use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s voice-cloning tool Volley become widespread, Barnett sees a deeper spiritual parallel. “It takes three seconds to learn your voice,” he said, “and you can get yourself to say anything in Arabic and German and Japanese… just talk for a minute.”

He connected this to Revelation 13’s false prophet who “was granted power to give breath to the image of the Beast, that the image of the Beast should both speak.” Barnett added, “Can you imagine by this time what it is? This Beast can speak… It’s going to be the highest technology infused by Satan.”

Barnett also expressed concern over modern dependence on digital tools, even for Scripture. “This is their Bible,” he said, holding up a phone. “What happens when Bible Gateway… is turned off? You ever had a program turned off? … You can’t open your document.”

Ultimately, he challenged believers: “What’s your source of truth? Is it the internet or AI-spewed out answers, or is it the Spirit of truth through God’s Word?”

As AI rapidly grows in capability and reach, Barnett’s warnings are a sobering call for Christians to stay rooted in God’s unchanging truth, not technology’s ever-changing promises.

On a recent episode of the Prophecy Watchers podcast, Mondo Gonzalez and Gary Stearman offered a sweeping update on Bible prophecy, exploring everything from red heifers to global taxation.

“The subject is very current,” Stearman said of the red heifers being prepared in Israel, noting their connection to end-times purification rituals outlined in Scripture. Mondo highlighted that while some rabbis are uncertain about their qualification, others remain confident that two of the red heifers brought to Israel in 2022 are still viable, calling the matter “fascinating” and even linked by Hamas to their October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

Shifting to geopolitics, the duo examined Saudi Arabia’s dramatic departure from pro-Palestinian rhetoric. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman recently stated, “The Palestinian cause is not my cause. I only care about my country and the people of my country.”

Mondo and Gary noted this could pave the way for Saudi Arabia to control the Temple Mount, potentially removing opposition to the rebuilding of a Jewish temple—an event central to end-times prophecy. “We are living somewhere in that time zone right now,” Gary said, connecting these developments to the prophetic warnings in Zephaniah and Ezekiel.

The conversation turned global as they discussed Elon Musk’s growing military influence and the European Union’s rush toward digital currency.

“The infrastructure of all these things—political, technological, economic—is being put in place,” Mondo said, linking the rise of digital finance and technocratic control to Revelation 13.

Gary left audiences with a call to the gospel: “The best thing you can do is pray to your Lord and say, ‘Lord, I need your help. I need you to watch over me.’”

When it comes to deciphering the mysterious imagery in the book of Revelation, few voices bring clarity quite like New York Time best-selling author Jonathan Cahn.

In a recent sermon, Cahn unpacked a stunning series of parallels between the prophetic visions of Ezekiel and those recorded by the apostle John.

“In Revelation, the order of the creatures are this: a lion, ox, man and eagle,” Cahn began. “Interesting, because the Gospels are also four Gospels, and they are four sides of Messiah.”

From the opening moments, Cahn took his audience deep into the Old Testament, linking Ezekiel’s prophetic scroll, “written on both sides,” with the same kind of scroll described in Revelation 5. “That’s exactly what Ezekiel saw,” he said. “With seven seals.”

Cahn pointed out that in both books, the prophets are told to eat the scroll. Ezekiel is commanded, “Eat what is before you. Eat this scroll,” and John is told by an angel, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth, it will be sweet as honey.” Cahn added, “That’s a parallel. Ezekiel is a foreshadow—is a decoder of Revelation.”

The message didn’t stop with scrolls and creatures. Cahn highlighted that both prophets fell facedown when encountering the glory of God. “Ezekiel says, ‘When I saw it, I fell on my face,’” he quoted. “Revelation—John says, ‘When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.’”

One of the most powerful connections Cahn emphasized was the role of the watchman. Referring to Ezekiel 33, Cahn quoted, “Son of man, you are the watchman. And if I give you this word, you must give it to your people to save them.” He then shared a personal moment after he first went on television to speak about The Harbinger: “I came back on the plane, I said, ‘Lord, it’s a heavy message.’ And I opened up the Bible, I just opened up, and it opens up to: ‘Son of man, I made you a watchman. If you do not blow the trumpet, I will hold you accountable.’”

Revelation is not just prophecy—it’s a call to action. “The Book of Revelation is the trumpet of the watchman,” Cahn said. “That’s from Ezekiel. That’s what it is.”

Perhaps one of the most chilling insights came when Cahn connected the “thirds” of judgment in Ezekiel to the repeated phrase in Revelation: a third of the earth, a third of the trees, a third of the sea. “It all follows the prototype of Ezekiel,” he declared. “Those judgments were a foreshadow of the Revelation judgments that will come on the whole world.”

Cahn leaves us with a reminder of God’s protection for His people.

Quoting Ezekiel 9, he explained, “Make a mark on their foreheads.” He then revealed the Hebrew letter used: Tav. “Tav is actually a letter in the Hebrew alphabet… it means you are free from judgment if you have that cross, that seal. You are protected.” He added, “The cross is your guarantee. You are marked against any harm.”

“We are all called to be His watchmen,” Cahn reminds us. “You know of a judgment coming, and if you don’t spread the gospel, then we are accountable for their blood.”

Growing up in Jewish tradition, Rabbi Kurt Schneider says one of the most sacred moments is the bris—the ritual marking God’s covenant with His people on the eighth day of a male child’s life. But this ancient sign is more than a ceremony. It’s a divine identifier.

“This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised,” Rabbi Schneider quoted from Genesis 17:10.

This physical mark set Israel apart from every other nation. “The male Israelites had this, quote, God mark on them,” he said. “That they belonged to Yahweh, to their God… made them different physically than all the other nations around them.”

But for believers today, the meaning reaches beyond the external. “It symbolized the cutting away of sinful and fleshly desires to embrace a life of fidelity to their creator,” Schneider explained. He added that this principle still carries weight for followers of Jesus, Jew and Gentile alike.

“The concept of it is still valid for us,” he said. “It’s about the peeling away of sinful and fleshly desires to instead be alive to God, and to be devoted to Him alone.”

Schneider referenced Paul’s words in Galatians 6: “For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.” The point, he stressed, is not physical but spiritual—a transformation of the heart.

He also issued a warning about false motives and superficial spirituality. “There were some… trying to get people to be circumcised… and they were all doing this for fame,” he said. “And the Gospel gets polluted, because people are more interested in the size of their congregation… than they are with preaching the truth.”

Schneider didn’t shy away from criticizing modern worship practices that echo the same errors. “I hate going into congregations where the music is so loud, that it damages your ears,” he said. “Why do you have to blare the music so loud?”

Rabbi Schneider issued a biblical call to live set apart. “We should be different. We must be different. We’re not of this world. We’re in covenant relationship with Adonai, the Creator who saved us through His Son,” he said. “Jesus spits the lukewarm out of His mouth. Either we’re the real deal or we’re not.”

In a gripping interview with Charisma Media, Karin Wilkinson shares her chilling testimony of alien abduction, a hybrid breeding program and the supernatural power of Jesus that ultimately set her free.

Wilkinson recounts being taken against her will multiple times, impregnated and shown hybrid babies that were biologically hers but “soulless.” “It looked like a baby, but it wasn’t fully human,” she says. “I held it, and it wouldn’t cuddle into me. I knew something was very wrong.”

Throughout the conversation, Wilkinson describes underground facilities filled with fetus-like specimens in tanks, sleep paralysis, near-death experiences, and a mysterious encounter with two angelic figures following a medical emergency.

But her story doesn’t end in fear. She explains how calling on the name of Jesus stopped the encounters completely. “They tried to take me again,” she says, “but when I said, ‘In Jesus’ name, no,’ they vanished.” Wilkinson now helps others break spiritual covenants and reclaim their authority in Christ.

In a sermon packed with conviction, biblical insight and sobering truth, Derek Prince challenges believers to see the authority God has placed in their hands—not just to read His Word but to wield it with reverence and power.

“Now, that’s trembling at the Word,” Prince began, reflecting on Moses’ moment of awe when his rod turned into a serpent. “He suddenly realized the power that was in his rod and he ran from it.” That kind of trembling, Prince emphasized, is the first step. But it must be followed by action: “He gripped it and it became a rod again in his hand. So when we’ve trembled, then we need to take hold of God’s Word.”

Prince pointed to Psalm 149 as a blueprint for the authority and role of the saints. “‘Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds… let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.’” He noted, “It says this honor or this privilege have all his saints. Have you ever pondered on that?”

For Prince, this isn’t poetic language—it’s a divine assignment. “We are not the ones to make the judgments. God has made the judgments. But we have the privilege of executing the judgments on the nations, on their rulers.”

So how do believers fulfill such a weighty task? Proclamation. “How do we execute God’s judgments? By what one word? Proclaiming, that’s right,” Prince said. “We stand in the marketplace of the world and we say, Oyez, Oyez, and then we announce the decree of God.”

But it doesn’t stop with mere words. Prince insists on Spirit-filled declaration: “When the breath of God, the Spirit of God propels the Word of God out of our mouths we can release it into a situation and it has all the authority of almighty God.”

“God didn’t step down off the throne, take the rod out of Moses’ hand and say, Moses, I’ll do it. That’s what most of us, I think, expect to happen. God says, You’ve got the rod. You do it.”

In other words, it’s time for the saints to stop waiting for divine intervention and start living as those entrusted with divine authority—proclaiming, releasing and stretching out the Word of God in power.

Pastor Jack Hibbs delivered a powerful reminder to every believer: you have a spiritual gift, and God intends for you to use it.

“The Bible says that every believer, every true child of God has at least one spiritual gift,” Hibbs said. He emphasized that these gifts aren’t confined to pastors or evangelists. “What God has given you is unique, and it’s uniquely used by God the Holy Spirit through your life.”

Speaking directly to both Christians and nonbelievers, Hibbs addressed the evidence of faith in action. “Out of their lives should be convincing evidence that they love you. Oh, I know they bother you… The reason why they drive you nuts is because they love you actually more than you love yourself.”

For the believer, Hibbs challenged the audience to get involved in their local church—not just attend sporadically. “Stop being little bees that go from church to church and think you’ve gone to church. You ain’t going to church until you find a church and get involved in that church.”

He also cautioned against seeking shortcuts for spiritual discovery. “I encourage you not to go online to fill out a questionnaire to find out what your gift of the Holy Spirit is. That’s not only cheating. You’re going to get the wrong answer… Get on your knees and say, ‘Lord, show me.’”

Hibbs pointed to the necessity of stepping outside one’s comfort zone to activate God’s work through them. “God will bring us to that moment where… you’re terrified and this will never work and God says you’re exactly correct… but God.”

He stressed that real revival begins with obedience: “When you step out in obedience… you are exhibiting the love of God and your love for God. Because listen, it’s for Him.”

In addressing the body of Christ, Hibbs reminded the audience of their role in the church community. “We are to be falling over one another to love one another… A healthy church that’s experiencing revival… they know their place and they function in the beautiful apparatus of their calling.”

“You want to walk into that gift. You want to live that gift… Seek Him. Ask Him. And you must commune with Him,” he encouraged.

According to Hibbs, this isn’t extra credit Christianity, “This is Christianity 101 that changes the world.”

In a recent conversation with Sheila Walsh, esteemed Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah offered a compelling walk through biblical prophecy, urging Christians to take seriously the signs pointing to the end times.

“There is coming a series of events so apocalyptic it will put a period behind the world as we know it and not one museum will be left standing to memorialize its destruction,” Dr. Jeremiah said, setting the tone for a sobering yet hope-filled conversation.

The Rapture vs. the Second Coming

Central to his teaching is the distinction between the Rapture and the Second Coming—two events that are often confused. “The rapture is when he comes for us and the second advent is when we come back with him to settle the events on this earth,” he explained. “If we understand that, then we can keep those two things straight.”

The Tribulation

Jeremiah outlined the timeline of the Tribulation, calling it a seven-year period “divided into two sections.” He explained, “At the beginning of the tribulation, the antichrist makes a covenant with Israel… and at the end of three and a half years he breaks that covenant. When that happens, all hell breaks loose on this earth.”

The Antichrist

Of the Antichrist, he said, “He is the incarnation of Satan. He is a man who has the oratorical ability of Adolf Hitler… He mimics everything that Jesus does. Anti doesn’t mean just against, but it means instead of.”

The Mark of the Beast

On the Mark of the Beast, Dr. Jeremiah was clear: “During the tribulation period, you have to take the mark of the beast in order to be able to survive. This is the economic control program of the antichrist… People who don’t take the mark will literally be starved out of existence.”

Globalism and Biblical Prophecy

He also addressed the growing trend of globalism, stating, “God is not a globalist. He’s a nationalist. The Bible says he’s made nations. The globalism issue goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel.”

The Battle of Armageddon

Looking to the future, Jeremiah described the final clash between good and evil: “The forces of evil and the forces of good will have one final encounter and the Lord Jesus Christ will be victorious. We come back with the Lord Jesus. We watch his victory… and I think we cheer.”

The Millennium Reign of Christ

After Christ’s return, believers will enter the Millennial Kingdom. “The millennium is a thousand-year reign of peace, and the Lord Jesus Christ will be king,” he said. “David will be his vice president, so to speak… and they will rule the world in righteousness and in godliness.”

The Restoration of Israel

One of the clearest indicators that the end is drawing near is already unfolding. “The greatest sign of the fact that we’re moving into this period of history is the return of Israel, because none of the prophecies of the book of Revelation… could happen if Israel’s not in the land.”

Prophecy and the Present Age

Dr. Jeremiah emphasized the ongoing relevance of prophecy: “The news is catching up with prophecy. And that’s what happens when you study that.”

As we witness the rising uncertainty, war and spiritual confusion, Dr. Jeremiah’s words serve as a reminder that Scripture has already mapped out the course ahead.

From the reemergence of Israel to the global push for centralized control, the signs are unfolding just as the Bible said they would. For believers, prophecy isn’t a subject to fear, but a call to readiness. As Dr. Jeremiah put it, “Now is your redemption nearer than when you believed.”

In a powerful teaching video, Apostle John Eckhardt revisits one of the most foundational aspects of Jesus’ ministry—casting out demons—and urges the modern church not to neglect this vital spiritual practice.

“Jesus preached in their synagogues and cast out devils,” Eckhardt said, quoting Mark 1:39. “So it’s not enough just to preach… If you’re going to be a preacher, cast out demons.”

Deliverance isn’t just for the early church, it’s for today. And it’s needed now more than ever.

How Do Demons Enter?

Eckhardt laid out several open doors that give demons access to people’s lives:

1. Personal Sin
2. Generational Curses
3. Trauma or Abuse
4. Occult Involvement
5. Unforgiveness and Bitterness
6. Addictions and Anger

Signs You May Need Deliverance

Deliverance isn’t always obvious. Eckhardt explained that certain patterns or struggles may point to demonic oppression:

1. Uncontrollable Thoughts or Compulsions
2. Emotional Torment
3. Repeating Cycles of Failure or Destruction
4. Addictions and Bondage
5. Chronic Sickness

Seven Steps to Receiving and Ministering Deliverance

Eckhardt emphasized a step-by-step biblical method for deliverance:

1. Honesty
2. Humility
3. Repentance
4. Renunciation
5. Forgiveness
6. Prayer for Deliverance
7. Expulsion

Seven Steps to Maintaining Deliverance

After deliverance, Eckhardt warns, it’s essential to remain vigilant:

1. Put on the Full Armor of God
2. Disciplined Thought Life
3. Daily Scripture and Prayer
4. Fellowship and Covering
5. Avoid Sin and Temptation
6. Avoid Occult Influences
7. Worship and Praise

Deliverance is not just a ministry, it’s a necessity. “The deliverance ministry of Jesus continues today,” Eckhardt said. “Every believer has authority in Christ.

“Don’t be ignorant of Satan and demons. Don’t be afraid to study this subject… God has not given us the spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind.”

And to every believer and church leader, Eckhardt’s leave a message of encouragement and power: “Churches must make space for the full ministry of Jesus, including casting out devils.”
