This One Biblical Truth About Sleep Will Change How You View Sleep
In a recent interview with Jennifer Bagnaschi, Freddy Ramirez shared a profound spiritual insight: while our bodies sleep, our spirits remain awake, often engaging in unseen, divine encounters. His words shed light on a biblical mystery that many have experienced but few fully understand.
“When we go to sleep, our body is asleep, but our spirit is awake,” Ramirez explains. “Our spirit doesn’t sleep, so our spirit is—God knows where—doing many things.”
His experience resonates with biblical truth. Psalm 121:4 reminds us that “Behold He who guards Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” God is always active, and since our spirits are eternal, it stands to reason that they remain in motion even as our physical selves rest.
“Many times I’ve experienced moments where I go to sleep and wake up energized. I have a solution I didn’t have before, or I feel like something was just deposited in me,” he says. He then revealed that the Holy Spirit had spoken to him about this. “One day, the Holy Spirit told me, ‘Freddy, that’s because while you were asleep, I anointed your spirit. I deposited something in you, and when you wake up, you are feeling the effects of what happened when you were asleep.’”
This concept is echoed in Job 33:15-16, “In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumber on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction.”
God often imparts wisdom, revelation and even anointing when our minds are at rest, allowing our spirits to receive without the distractions of daily life.
Most Christians Are Missing This Major End-Times Sign
Something extraordinary is happening in Israel, and many Christians aren’t paying attention.
The prophetic clock is ticking, and at the center of it all is a biblical mystery—the red heifer. For thousands of years, this seemingly obscure ritual has held deep significance in Jewish law, yet its relevance to prophecy and the future of Israel have never been more critical than they are today.
Gary Stearman, host of Prophecy Watchers, recently sat down with co-host Mondo Gonzalez to discuss the red heifer’s role in end-times prophecy. If you’ve never heard of the red heifer, you’re not alone. As Stearman puts it, “Most Christians are not familiar with it at all.” Yet, its importance is undeniable, particularly when it comes to the rebuilding of the Third Temple.
According to Numbers 19, God commanded the Israelites to bring forth a red heifer—a female cow without blemish, never yoked or used for labor—to be sacrificed. Its ashes would then be mixed with water and used for ritual purification, particularly to cleanse those who had come into contact with the dead.
Without this purification, Jewish law deems it impossible to approach God in the temple. As Gonzalez explains, “The one thing that is not complete yet is the red heifer ritual.” In other words, without the ashes of the red heifer, the Third Temple cannot be fully operational.
A Historic Development
For the first time in 2,000 years, qualified red heifers have arrived in Israel. Five red cows were brought over in September 2022, and three still remain viable candidates for the sacred ritual. This is a monumental event. “This is the first time in 2,000 years that they’ve had a qualified red heifer,” Stearman points out. And yet, mainstream media is silent.
Why Should Christians Care?
At this point, some might ask, “What does this have to do with us?” After all, as believers in Jesus Christ, we know that salvation comes through His sacrifice, not through temple rituals. Hebrews 9:13-14 draws the connection: if the ashes of a red heifer could provide purification in the Old Covenant, “how much more the blood of Jesus” cleanses us completely?
Stearman acknowledges this perspective but reminds us of something crucial: “We live under the blessing of the New Covenant… but the Jewish people don’t know that yet.” They are still striving to restore the temple and its sacrificial system, unaware that the ultimate sacrifice has already been made.
For those following prophecy, the pieces are falling into place. As Gonzalez warns, “The tribulation period is going to be a time when they’re going to be duped by the Antichrist.” Scripture tells us that temple sacrifices will resume, only for the Antichrist to halt them midway through the Tribulation (see Dan. 9:27). In light of this, the renewed push for a Third Temple and the arrival of these red heifers should be setting off alarm bells.
Even Israel’s enemies are taking notice. Hamas, in a statement after the October 2023 attacks, admitted that one of their reasons for striking Israel was because of the red heifers. Think about that—terrorist organizations are tracking biblical prophecy. Shouldn’t Christians be doing the same?
Lee Strobel’s Investigation Into the Supernatural Will Leave You Speechless
Skepticism about the supernatural is nothing new. Many people dismiss miracles and near-death experiences as wishful thinking or hallucinations. But Lee Strobel—a former atheist turned Christian apologist—has spent years investigating claims that challenge this materialist worldview. In a recent interview with Charisma Media about his book “Seeing the Supernatural,” Strobel shared compelling accounts that suggest there’s more to life—and death—than we often assume.
Strobel, whose background in journalism and law makes him a stickler for evidence, didn’t just take stories at face value. “I’m looking for cases where it’s not just a miracle, but it’s published in a peer-reviewed medical journal,” he explains. And what he found was astonishing.
One case involved a blind woman who had been sightless since birth. After a severe car accident left her clinically dead, she described an out-of-body experience where she could suddenly see—something that should have been impossible. Doctors were baffled. “They gave her a crayon and paper and said, ‘Draw the emergency room you were in.’ And she did—perfectly. How do you explain that?” Strobel asks.
Another study he referenced examined 21 blind individuals who had near-death experiences. “They were able to see for the first time during their near-death experience,” he said. These individuals, who had no prior visual memory, described colors, shapes and scenes they could not have fabricated from experience.
Perhaps the most chilling stories come from those who saw things no one knew at the time. Strobel recounts the testimony of a woman in a London hospital who had a near-death experience and saw a pair of shoes on a ledge outside the hospital—a ledge completely hidden from view from inside the building. When hospital staff checked, they found the shoes exactly as she described. “That’s the kind of corroboration I’m looking for,” Strobel notes.
He also made a distinction between near-death and deathbed visions. While near-death experiences often involve people returning to life, deathbed visions happen when people are about to pass permanently. “Many report seeing loved ones who had already died—but here’s the twist: sometimes, they see someone they didn’t know had died. That’s what gets me.”
So what do we make of these stories? Skeptics may argue they are hallucinations, but Strobel pushes back. “You can’t dismiss this as mere imagination. There’s too much corroboration, too many cases that defy natural explanation. What do you do with that?”
Horrific Attack in Israel: The Truth About the Ongoing Threats
Once again, the people of Israel find themselves mourning after a senseless act of violence.
A terrorist attack at Karkur Junction left 13 wounded, including a 17-year-old girl fighting for her life. The attacker, a Palestinian Arab who had been living illegally in Israel for years, first used his car to ram into civilians before attempting to stab others with a screwdriver. He knew he wouldn’t survive—this was a suicide mission fueled by hatred.
Attacks like these are not random. They are the product of a dangerous ideology that seeks to instill fear and chaos. For decades, the people of Israel have endured waves of violence—from stabbings and car rammings to suicide bombings.
And yet, they refuse to be broken.
They continue to build, to raise families, to live their lives in the face of constant threats. This resilience is nothing short of remarkable.
Despite these horrors, Israel remains a beacon of democracy in a volatile region. Twenty-one percent of Israeli citizens are Arabs, living and working alongside Jewish neighbors. They are doctors, teachers and business owners. They vote. They serve in the government. The unity of daily life in Israel stands in stark contrast to the division and hatred pushed by those who seek to destroy it.
The question is often asked: How do Israelis keep going? How do they not allow hatred to consume them? The answer is simple yet profound—faith, community and an unwavering belief in the right to exist.
As we hear of yet another attack on innocent lives, let us do what we can from afar. Let us pray. Pray for the victims and their families, for healing, comfort and strength. But also pray for the nation of Israel, that it may continue to stand strong against those who seek to do it harm. May peace one day reign, but until that day, may Israel remain unshaken.

Is Pope Francis Preparing for the End? His Latest Words Raise Questions
Pope Francis’ recent catechesis has stirred more than a few quiet conversations.
According to The Catholic Sun, “For those who recognize Christ as the Savior, death is not an end or a form of ‘annihilation,’ he wrote, instead calling it a kind of ‘sister’ that ushers the faithful into ‘true life.’” A comforting thought, certainly. But given the context of his words, one can’t help but wonder: why this message now?
The Pope, now 88, has been struggling with his health, having been hospitalized since Feb. 14, and diagnosed with double pneumonia just a few days later. Of course, Vatican officials are quick to dismiss any speculation. Matteo Bruni, the Vatican’s press director, assured the public that these reflections were prepared “weeks in advance.” Yet even with that reassurance, the choice of focus feels… well, timely.
The lesson itself was centered on Jesus’ presentation at the temple and the account of Simeon, the faithful servant who, upon seeing the Messiah, declared, “Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation.” Pope Francis draws on Simeon’s declaration, writing that the old man saw death not as an end, but “as fulfillment, fullness.”
Certainly, this is a powerful truth for any believer. But coming from a man who leads over a billion souls and whose own health has become an increasing concern, the weight of his words feels heavier. Is he simply offering a theological meditation? Or is this, in some way, a personal reflection?
To be clear, no one is claiming to know the mind of the Pope. But his words, his focus and the context in which they were shared leave room for thought.
All seven visible planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—will line up in what astronomers call a “planet parade.” And while that term might sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, it’s very real.
NASA says a “planet parade” occurs when four or more planets are visible together. But this event is even more special—catching all seven at once is a rare sight.
“When you look across the sky, you’re looking out into the solar system,” Preston Dyches of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says. “You’re looking from within the plane of the planets, this circular racetrack that all the planets are racing around as they orbit the sun.”
For the best view, start watching about half an hour after sunset. Mercury, Venus and Saturn will be low on the western horizon, while Jupiter and Mars will be high overhead. Uranus and Neptune? You’ll need a telescope.
And if you’re hoping to reunite with Pluto—sorry, it’s below the horizon this time.
A potential nova explosion in the T Coronae Borealis system, known as the “Blaze Star,” could outshine even this planetary spectacle.
“We’ve been waiting for this sucker to flare up and get super bright for several months,” Pamela Gay, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, says. If it happens, you won’t need a telescope—it’ll be visible to the naked eye.
Is the Stage Being Set for Ezekiel 38? How Today’s Events Align with Biblical Prophecy
If you’ve been paying attention to world events, it’s clear that we are witnessing monumental shifts in global politics and security. Pastor Tom Hughes recently broke down some of the biggest headlines, analyzing them through the lens of biblical prophecy. Let’s take a look at the key developments shaking the world right now.
1. A Major Expansion of the Abraham Accords
A groundbreaking deal is reportedly in the works, with the U.S. leading negotiations to expand the Abraham Accords. According to Hughes:
The deal aims to replace the Shiite Crescent (Iran-backed forces) with a moderate Sunni alliance, including Saudi Arabia, Syria and Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia is set to invest billions in Syria and Lebanon for reconstruction.
The U.S. will build a major military base in Jordan and assist Egypt in constructing a nuclear reactor.
Russia will maintain a military presence in Syria but is expected to disengage from its Shiite alliances (Iran, Hezbollah, etc.).
Gaza will be handed over to U.S.-Saudi management, turning it into a key trade hub for Gulf oil exports and Western imports.
Hughes emphasizes the significance of this: “Israel must come to a place of peace and safety according to Ezekiel 38:11… This is truly amazing to watch this happen.”
But could this be the moment of “peace and security” that eventually sets the stage for the prophesied Ezekiel 38 war? Only time will tell.
2. Pressure Mounts to Release Epstein’s Client List
Another major headline is the renewed demand for Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged client list. Lawmakers from both parties—including Marsha Blackburn, Lauren Boebert and even Ilhan Omar—are calling for transparency.
Yet, Hughes suggests there could be more at play:
There is an ongoing war between the Deep State and the Trump Administration over these records.
Some speculate the list contains fake names designed to discredit Trump and derail the investigation.
Others believe Bondi is protecting certain high-profile individuals.
The deeper this goes, the murkier it becomes.
3. Tulsi Gabbard Warns: Radical Islamist Terrorism is the #1 Threat
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made it clear: radical Islamist terrorism is the greatest national security threat facing America. In a recent interview, she rejected the 2021 claim that white supremacy was the top concern, stating:
“The threat of radical Islamist terrorism here within our country is higher than it’s ever been before.”
Gabbard cites the massive influx of illegal border crossings under the Biden administration, noting that Iranian operatives are already inside the U.S. This raises an urgent question: What happens when Iran decides to act?
Hughes also highlights Dr. Peter Hammond’s research on Islamization patterns, warning that as Muslim populations grow within a nation, so does their political and social influence—eventually leading to open conflict.
In the initial phase of President Donald Trump’s second term, his administration has undertaken decisive actions across various sectors, underscoring a commitment to national security, governmental efficiency and assertive foreign policy.
Disaster Relief in Kentucky: Following severe storms and flooding, President Trump promptly issued a major disaster declaration for Kentucky, facilitating the swift allocation of federal aid to support recovery efforts.
Restructuring Military Leadership: In a move to align military leadership with his administration’s principles, President Trump dismissed General Charles Q. Brown Jr., the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with other top Pentagon officials. This decision reflects a strategic shift towards focusing on core military objectives.
Enhancing Government Efficiency:The establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, aims to streamline federal operations. DOGE already has resulted in significant reductions in bureaucracy and the implementation of measures to increase accountability within government agencies.
Trade and Energy Policies: The administration has declared a national energy emergency to promote fossil fuel development, facilitating the expansion of oil and gas projects. Concurrently, tariffs have been imposed on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, reflecting a commitment to protecting American industries and workers.
Foreign Policy and International Relations: President Trump has actively engaged in diplomatic efforts, proposing a temporary ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict during discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron. Additionally, he has emphasized the importance of European nations taking a more proactive role in addressing regional security challenges.
These initiatives demonstrate President Trump’s proactive approach to governance, focusing on constructive action to address both domestic and international issues. As his term progresses, the administration’s policies are poised to have a lasting impact on the nation’s trajectory and its position on the global stage.

Breaking the Illusion: L.A. Marzulli Explains the Deception of the Last Days
UFOs have gone from fringe conspiracy to mainstream news, with governments declassifying documents and pilots reporting inexplicable encounters.
But while many see these revelations as a step toward understanding extraterrestrial life, researcher and author L.A. Marzulli warns of something far more sinister. In his talk “What Is the Truth?” he argues that UFOs are not visitors from distant galaxies but part of a “coming great deception”—a global event foretold in the Bible that will mislead millions.
Aliens, Ancient Myths and the Biblical Perspective
Marzulli argues that the idea of aliens interacting with humanity isn’t new. Many ancient cultures—Sumerians, Egyptians, Mayans and even Native American tribes—tell stories of “sky gods” descending to Earth. But he insists these weren’t visitors from another world; rather, they were fallen angels deceiving mankind. “Some of the earliest civilizations… speak of celestial beings from the skies that came down, made contact, and interacted with mankind.”
He connects this to the Bible’s oldest deception: “This is exactly the same lie that we heard way back in the Garden. ‘Surely God knows that when you take and eat of the fruit, your eyes will be opened, and you’ll be like God, knowing good from evil.’ Nothing has changed in thousands of years.”
UFO Disclosure and the Coming Rapture
Marzulli is deeply concerned with how governments and media are preparing the world to accept UFOs as benevolent beings. He cites numerous reports, including mile-wide craft sighted by airline pilots, UFOs shutting down nuclear weapons, and claims that the U.S. possesses “vehicles not made on this Earth.” But he sees a far more sinister endgame: using these phenomena to explain away the biblical Rapture.
Quoting a message from alleged extraterrestrial channeled writings, he highlights a chilling statement: “There is a potential for many people to leave the planet in an afternoon.” Marzulli believes this is a setup to convince the world that when millions of Christians suddenly disappear, it won’t be the fulfillment of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, but rather a necessary “cleansing” for Earth’s evolution.
“They’re explaining away the rapture of the church,” he warns. “When we go up, they show up.”
The UFO Gospel and the Rise of False Christs
One of the most alarming aspects of Marzulli’s talk is his suggestion that UFOs will be used to introduce a new, deceptive global religion. He speculates about a scenario where a massive craft lands in Jerusalem, and out of it step religious figures like Buddha, Krishna and even Jesus himself—but not the real Jesus.
“Is it possible that when we have mile-wide mother ships… one lands in Jerusalem and out of that craft come all the so-called avatars and enlightened beings?”
He warns that many people, including some within Christianity, will fall for this deception. The extraterrestrials will claim:
“We seeded all life on this planet. We were the gods of the Old Testament who interacted with ancient peoples. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not a God, but a Christ and an ascended master.”
This, he argues, is a direct attack on biblical truth. The world will be offered an enticing message: join this new enlightened era, receive “a DNA upgrade”, and enter a golden age of peace and unity. But Marzulli calls it what he believes it is—satanic deception designed to replace faith in Christ with allegiance to a false messiah.
For Marzulli, the key to resisting this deception is recognizing the spiritual nature of the battle. He references testimonies of people who have stopped alien abductions simply by calling on the name of Jesus: “When a person uses that name, when he cries out to the Lord, the Lord shows up, and the abductions stop.”
This, he says, is proof that UFOs are not just physical phenomena but part of a greater supernatural war.
Racing Toward the Beast System as AI Takes Control
If you’re paying attention to the world around you, you’ve probably noticed that things are moving fast.
Pastor J.D. Farag of Calvary Kaneohe, in Kaneohe, Hawaii, recently laid out a sobering but hopeful case in his latest Bible prophecy update: the Beast system is being built, just as Revelation foretells—but it will fall.
“In order for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled specific to the fall of Babylon, there must be the building first of Babylon and this world system,” Farag explains. “Something cannot fall unless it’s first built.” And right now, we are witnessing that building process in real time.
At the center of this system? Artificial Intelligence. According to Farag, “This prophesied Beast system is actually being built right now exactly as Bible prophecy tells us it would be at the time of the end.” He pointed to a recent interview when Elon Musk warned that Google is aiming to create an “AI God,” a digital superintelligence with terrifying implications, “The potential for AI systems to become so powerful that they could operate beyond human control… a scenario commonly referred to as ‘the singularity.'” In other words, man’s attempt to create an all-knowing, all-powerful system—one that eerily mirrors the ambitions of Babel in Genesis 11.
Farag didn’t mince words: “This Babylonian system is just that—a system. But Babylon is a city. The Beast is the system. And the Antichrist is a man.” This distinction is crucial because it highlights the interconnected roles of technology, political control and the rise of a global leader who will use these advancements to consolidate power.
The rapid advancements in AI, blockchain and digital surveillance all point to one thing: a system designed for total control. “They have to have a system in place at the ready in order to determine whether or not one is in compliance,” he said, referencing Revelation 13 and the Mark of the Beast. “Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology are all coming together to create a verification system—a Beast system.”
For those who recognize what’s happening, Farag says the conclusion is obvious: “We’re seeing things in real time, right before our very eyes, that were prophesied in the Word of God some 2,500 years plus prior.” He argues that the stage is being set for the seven-year Tribulation, meaning the rapture must be close. “Think this through. If we’re already watching the system being built for the Tribulation, how much closer must we be to the rapture?”
But here’s the good news: “This Beast system that’s now being built will fall.” Revelation 18 makes it clear that Babylon, the great system of control and rebellion against God, will be utterly destroyed.
