Major Joshua Mast’s story, laid bare in a riveting Feb. 21, 2025, episode of the “Shawn Ryan Show,” isn’t just a tale of one man’s fight—it’s a mirror held up to our society’s soul.

A U.S. Marine Corps officer, Mast stumbled upon a baby girl orphaned on an Afghan battlefield in 2019. What he did next—launching a relentless campaign to adopt her—should have been a straightforward act of humanity.

Instead, it spiraled into a bruising clash with the U.S. Department of Justice, the State Department and even his own military’s code of conduct. Five hours and 16 minutes of podcast airtime later, we’re left wrestling with a question: When did doing the right thing become so wrong?

A Virginia appellate court ruled in July 2024 that Mast’s adoption should never have been granted and voided the custody order that had allowed the Masts to raise the child for nearly three years.

The court found significant procedural errors, noting that Mast failed to inform judges of key facts—such as the Afghan government’s (under the control of the Taliban) continued claim on the child and prior federal rulings against halting that process.

Although Mast and his wife insist they acted admirably in a desperate situation, the decision has left the child’s fate in limbo and stirred concerns with far-reaching international ramifications. Justice Department lawyers and government officials maintain that Mast never had any claim to the child and warn that allowing her to remain with him could jeopardize U.S. foreign policy and security efforts.

If the Masts ultimately lose their case, the child could be returned to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan—a prospect that condemns her to a life under harsh, oppressive control. Such an outcome raises profound concerns about her future, as being sent back to an environment where the Taliban rules could subject her to severe limitations on her freedom and safety.

For centuries, biblical prophecy has fascinated believers and skeptics alike, especially when it appears to echo modern-day events.

Evangelist Perry Stone believes we are on the brink of seeing one such prophecy unfold—one that has been lingering in Scripture for thousands of years. According to Stone, the foretold destruction of Damascus isn’t just a distant warning; it’s a future reality waiting to happen.

On a recent episode of “Manna-fest,” his long-running program, Stone tackled what he calls ‘The 2025 Damascus Prophecies,’ setting out to correct misconceptions and bring clarity to an often-misunderstood biblical prediction. With nearly five decades of study behind him, he cuts through speculation to focus on what Scripture actually says about Damascus and its fate.

Is Damascus on the Brink of Fulfillment?

Stone wastes no time addressing what he sees as misinformation about recent events in Syria.

“There has been a lot of discussion, and honestly, a little bit of misinformation,” he says, adding that many who analyze prophecy “may not have the experience of the total knowledge of prophecy or of the Bible and therefore they can get some of their information incorrect.”

His aim? To set the record straight based on 48 years of studying Scripture and thousands of hours of biblical research.

At the center of the discussion is Isaiah 17:1-3, which states: “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”

Despite its long history, Stone notes that Damascus has “never been totally wiped out the way the prophet predicted.” Instead, the city has been conquered, rebuilt and remained a key trade hub for thousands of years. But according to him, the full prophetic fulfillment has yet to come.

Three Major Prophetic Events to Watch

While focusing on Damascus, Stone also highlights three major end-times events that he believes will reshape the Middle East:

1. The rise of Persia (modern-day Iran) as it strengthens alliances with other nations to eventually attack Israel.
2. The complete destruction of Damascus, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy.
3. A coalition of 10 kings, emerging from the remnants of the old Roman Empire and uniting under the Antichrist.

“These are the game changers,” Stone emphasizes.

Why Damascus Matters

Damascus isn’t just another Middle Eastern city—it’s one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on Earth. Stone explains, “Damascus is about 4,000 years old… and has been an oasis from the beginning.” Because of its strategic location and natural resources, it has “been captured by the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans”—but never wiped off the map.

Today, Damascus sits at the heart of a war-torn Syria, fractured by militias, foreign influence and internal strife.

“The Assad regime, which has ruled for 50 years, has been overthrown by militias,” Stone says, referencing Syria’s fractured state. Yet, despite the violence, the city remains. Could the final prophecy be nearing its fulfillment?

A Future of Peace—or More Chaos?

Despite the grim outlook, Stone suggests that prophecy doesn’t end with destruction. He turns to Isaiah 19, which describes an era where Israel, Egypt, and Assyria will be in harmony:

“In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land.”

It’s a compelling vision—one where ancient enemies find unity instead of war. Stone wonders what could be possible if peace finally took root in the region.

There are moments in history when faith seems to move in extraordinary ways, bridging gaps between nations, religions and even long-standing divisions.

Pastor Larry Huch recently shared a powerful message highlighting a supernatural shift of God happening across the world. His words emphasized unity, miracles and the growing recognition of Jesus’ Jewish identity. Here are some of his main takeaways:

1. The Power of Small Groups and Community Support

Huch attributes his own salvation and transformation to life groups—small gatherings where believers encourage each other and grow in faith. He urges others to join these groups to strengthen their spiritual walk.

“If it wasn’t for them being those small groups, I don’t know if I’d make it. They literally are life-giving groups.”

2. The Global Movement for Jesus

Huch highlights an upcoming mission trip to Brazil, where millions will march for Jesus in São Paulo, waving both Christian and Israeli flags. He describes it as a breathtaking movement unlike anything else. “There are five and a half million people on the street in São Paulo, as far as the eye can see, marching for Jesus.”

3. Jewish and Muslim Recognition of Jesus as the Messiah

Huch recounts an interaction with a Muslim leader who revealed a deep respect for Jesus. While they do not display images of Him due to religious tradition, they acknowledge His significance.

“We know Jesus is the Messiah, and we know He’s coming back real soon.”

4. The Role of Women in Faith and Leadership

Huch argues passionately that women are just as anointed as men in ministry, referencing biblical examples where God honors the prayers and voices of women.

“When women pray—when mothers pray—there is an anointing that comes that is not like anything else.”

5. Breaking Down Divisions in the Church

He warns against racial, economic and denominational divisions in Christianity, emphasizing that the church should be unified under Christ.

“There ought never be a white church, a black church, a brown church—just church.”

6. The Supernatural Move of the Holy Spirit

Huch believes that a new wave of miracles, signs and wonders is on the horizon, and Christians should expect the Holy Spirit to move in powerful ways.

“This is a time that God wants you to expect miracles—expect miracles in your life!”

President Donald Trump’s bold plan to relocate Gaza’s refugees sparked immediate backlash from key Middle Eastern players, with Egypt and Jordan rejecting it outright. However, Jordan has since softened its stance, expressing willingness to cooperate—at least partially. Egypt, on the other hand, has taken a far more aggressive approach, digging in its heels and crafting its own alternative plan, one that could spell disaster for Israel.

Trump’s proposal, unveiled weeks ago, suggested that countries like Egypt, Jordan and even Indonesia absorb Gaza’s displaced population. Given the widespread destruction in Gaza, the logic is simple: where else can these people go? Rebuilding will take years, and even if successful, there is no guarantee that history won’t repeat itself with another terrorist regime rising to power. Trump’s plan, in contrast to the status quo, seeks to fundamentally change the region’s trajectory by moving the population elsewhere.

Egypt, however, wants no part of it. Not only has Cairo refused to accept refugees, but it has also fortified its border with Gaza and amassed troops near Israel—a concerning move with unclear intent. Rather than engaging with the U.S. proposal, Egypt has instead pushed its own vision: an ambitious (and questionable) plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing its people. According to Egyptian state media, their strategy involves setting up temporary shelters within Gaza while international construction firms repair the territory’s infrastructure.

The problem? The plan completely ignores Israel. Egypt has reportedly consulted European diplomats, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE—yet Israel, the most directly impacted nation, appears to have been left out of the conversation. The plan also proposes the creation of a Palestinian governing body unaligned with either Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, a near-impossible task given the political reality of the region. And perhaps most absurdly, Cairo suggests building a security force composed of former Palestinian Authority police—an entity with a track record of failure in combating terrorism in Judea and Samaria.

Egypt’s rejection of Trump’s plan is about more than just Gaza. It’s a direct counter to America’s influence in the region, a statement that Cairo will not be dictated to—even by a potential future U.S. president.

“Watch South Africa. Watch South Africa.”

These were the words Alwyn Uys felt deeply in his spirit as God began revealing a divine connection between South Africa and America. Something bigger than politics is unfolding—a movement, a rearrangement, a pivotal shift in history.

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

“I saw America in God’s right hand and I saw South Africa in God’s left hand.” The right hand signifies power, favor and authority, and Uys believes this signals a new outpouring of divine favor upon America. But this doesn’t mean the nation is “out of the woods.” America is in a fragile, birthing process, teetering on the edge of something enormous.

Meanwhile, South Africa, held in God’s left hand, is undergoing a different process—judgment, correction and a necessary reordering.

“Africa, in order for me to use you, there has to be reorder.” This shaking, this flipping, this turning things upside-down is not comfortable, but it is necessary. “Africa, I love you… but these things have to take place.”

And then there is Donald Trump. “I saw Donald Trump shaking hands with Cyril Ramaphosa… It was a stern handshake, a stoic handshake, a firm handshake.” Though Trump did not speak in the vision, his body language said it all: Don’t mess this up. A second chance. A restoration of relationships. A rectifying moment between the two nations.

Then the vision shifted. A bridge appeared, stretching from the Cape of South Africa to America. “Obviously, this is not a real bridge,” Uys clarifies, “but a bridge being built, a relationship being restored.”

If you’ve been paying attention to the shifting tides of global politics, you might have noticed something striking—things seem to be aligning a little too well with biblical prophecy.

“The End Time Show,” hosted by Vince Stall and Doug Norville, recently tackled a subject that has long fascinated both theologians and conspiracy theorists alike: the rise of the Antichrist and the formation of a final world empire.

For years, students of prophecy have pointed to the books of Daniel and Revelation, which describe a global leader who will rise in the last days, deceiving many and bringing about a short-lived but devastating reign. He will be a master manipulator, a political powerhouse and, as Revelation 13 puts it, someone who will make war against the saints and hold sway over the nations.

The Great Catholic Monarch: A Savior or a Deceiver?

A fascinating claim making the rounds in Catholic circles is the prophecy of the Great Catholic Monarch—a supposed descendant of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette who will rise to restore France and the church. According to Xavier Reyes Ariel, a guest on “The John-Henry Westen Show,” this monarch is already alive today, living abroad, waiting for the right time to step forward.

While many Catholics see this as a sign of hope, Stall and Norville raise a critical question: Is this monarch actually the prophesied Antichrist?

Consider the details: this figure is expected to lead a great military campaign, take on both Russia and a Muslim army, and then place a so-called “Angelic Pope” on the throne of St. Peter. This pope will restore the Catholic Church’s global influence. That sounds suspiciously similar to the biblical description of the Antichrist and the False Prophet working in tandem.

And if that weren’t enough, there’s speculation that the Antichrist may not emerge from the Middle East, as some believe, but from Europe—potentially from within the revived Holy Roman Empire.

Who Could the Antichrist Be?

As world leaders consolidate power, names are naturally being thrown around. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, has long been on prophecy watchers’ radar. Not only did he once call for a European Army, but he also leads a nation historically tied to both Catholicism and global politics. Could he be the prophesied ruler waiting in the wings?

Then there’s King Charles III, who has recently made notable efforts to unite European leaders, including Muslims and Jews, under common causes. Some see his diplomatic moves as eerily similar to the kind of “peacemaker” the Antichrist is expected to be—at least at first.

To be clear, “The End Time Show” doesn’t make any definitive claims about who the Antichrist is. But the pieces of the puzzle are coming together in ways that demand our attention.

A European Military & the Rise of the Final Empire

Another key discussion point on the show was the growing call for a European military coalition. First proposed by Macron in 2018, and now echoed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the idea of a unified European force independent of the U.S. is gaining traction. If this comes to fruition, it would mirror Daniel’s prophecy of a revived Roman Empire—one that will produce the Antichrist.

Revelation 17 tells us that 10 kings will rise, forming a coalition and giving their power to the Beast. Interestingly, The End Time Show pointed out that today’s strongest European military powers number exactly 10. Could this be the foundation of the prophesied empire?

Speculation is running wild. Pope Francis’ health is declining, rumors of his resignation are swirling and some believe an ancient prophecy is about to come true.

Could we really be witnessing a moment foretold nearly 900 years ago?

Before we get carried away, let’s take a breath.

As believers, we know that God’s Word is our ultimate source of truth. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the world around us. Instead, we should observe, discern and always test what we hear against Scripture (1 John 4:1). So, let’s break this down.

An Ancient Prophecy and a Modern Pope

In the 12th century, an Irish bishop named St. Malachy reportedly had a vision of all the future popes, leading up to a final one—Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman)—who would guide the church through great tribulations before the destruction of Rome. Some believe this signals the end of days.

Now, with Pope Francis battling serious health issues, speculation is heating up. One of the top contenders to succeed him is Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State. His first name, Pietro, is the Italian form of Peter, and he’s from Italy—making him, almost literally, Peter the Roman.

Coincidence?

Maybe.

But it’s enough to make some people wonder.

Francis Already Planned for His Exit

Adding to the mystery, Pope Francis revealed in 2013 that he had already signed a resignation letter in case of serious health issues. That letter was given to then-Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone—who likely passed it to none other than… Cardinal Pietro Parolin. If Francis steps down, could Parolin fulfill the role of Peter the Roman?

Prophecy vs. Scripture

Let’s be clear: The prophecy of St. Malachy is not Scripture. While some argue that past popes have eerily matched Malachy’s descriptions, the Bible remains the only fully reliable source on the end times. Jesus Himself warned in Matthew 24 that the last days would be marked by wars, deception and false prophets.

Sound familiar?

With global conflicts, economic instability and increasing calls for a centralized global authority, it’s easy to see why people are watching closely.

Why This Matters

Regardless of whether the next pope fits St. Malachy’s vision, a papal transition is always a global event. The Vatican holds immense influence, and a new pope could shift the balance of power in ways that align with biblical prophecy. We already see moves toward a cashless society, international governance and a one-world religion—elements that could play into the system of the Beast in Revelation.

For those who study biblical prophecy, few topics ignite as much discussion as the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

Mondo Gonzales of Prophecy Watchers believes we are living in unprecedented times, pointing to the recent arrival of five red heifers in Israel as a significant development in this prophetic timeline.

“Every person that studies prophecy,” Gonzales explains, “is going to come to grips with the idea that the Bible says in several locations that the Antichrist will stop offerings and sacrifices. But how can he stop sacrifices if there’s no temple?” This leads to the inevitable conclusion: a Third Temple must be rebuilt.

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

The red heifer plays a crucial role in this process. According to Numbers 19, its ashes are needed to purify the site and the people before temple sacrifices can resume.

“Everything is completed to rebuild the Third Temple,” Gonzales states, “except for one thing—the red heifer.”

This brings us to Sept. 15, 2022, when, in what Gonzales calls a “boom moment,” five red heifers arrived in Israel. Since then, two have been disqualified, leaving three candidates. “For the first time in 2,000 years, they have a qualified red heifer,” he emphasizes. “We are living in unprecedented times prophetically.”

But why does this matter for Christians? Gonzales sees this as an opportunity for evangelism.

“When this ceremony happens, we need to be educated about it, but also use it to reach people for Jesus,” he says. He views these developments as evidence that biblical prophecy is unfolding, reinforcing the truth of the Gospel.

Critically, he notes that Jewish rabbis are not trying to fulfill Christian prophecy; they are following Mosaic law.

Get your FREE CHARISMA NEWSLETTERS today! Stay up-to-date with current issues, Holy Spirit news, Christian teachings, Charisma videos & more!

“For them, Moses is the most important human that ever existed. They’re not thinking about Jesus or the New Testament.” Their stringent requirements for the red heifer—including disqualification for having even two non-red hairs in the same follicle—reflect their commitment to purity in temple rituals.

Gonzales is careful not to claim divine endorsement of these events but sees them as part of God’s providence. “God allows a lot of things to happen,” he explains, “but that doesn’t mean He’s endorsing them. The Jewish rabbis see these heifers as a sign, but we understand from a New Testament perspective that Jesus was the final sacrifice.”

So where are we in biblical prophecy? “I think we are in Revelation chapter 3,” Gonzales asserts, referring to the Laodicean church era—a time characterized by spiritual lukewarmness. “The church, for the most part, is very apostate. It’s not standing up for truth, it’s not evangelizing, and it’s not sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in its purity.”

What if the very first thought you had after giving your life to Jesus was actually a lie from the enemy?

According to Kelly K of Kelly Kopp Ministries, countless believers have spent decades unknowingly trapped in a deception that keeps their focus on themselves instead of Christ.

“Think back to the day you gave your life to Jesus,” Kopp says. “As soon as you did, you had a thought. You remember, don’t you? The thought was this: ‘Now if I can just get this sin out of my life, I’m going to have a great relationship with God.’”

It sounds good—almost holy. But Kopp insists this is “a lie straight from the pit of hell.”

Why would Satan want you to fix your sin?

“Because if you’re trying to fix your sin, where’s your focus? On you,” Kopp explains. “But what does the Bible tell us? To fix our eyes on Him.” The enemy’s strategy is subtle—convince believers to do what only Jesus can do, making them feel like failures when they inevitably fall short.

Kopp reminds us of the core of the gospel: “If I could have fixed my sin, I would have by now—but I can’t. That’s why I need Jesus.” Yet many Christians spend years struggling, never realizing that they are trying to take back what they were meant to lay down.

So, how do we overcome sin?

“Expose it,” Kopp declares. “Sin grows in the darkness. The devil tells you, ‘Don’t you dare tell anyone about that sin in your life. They’ll judge you. You should be ashamed.’ But that’s a lie. Shining light on sin kills it.”

Instead of hiding and striving, Kopp urges believers to bring their struggles into the open and trust God. “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. He wants you free more than you do.

In our fast-paced, hyper-connected society, stress and anxiety are constant companions. But what if an ancient biblical principle could offer a solution? Rabbi Kirt Schneider and Dustin Roberts recently explored this in a discussion on the Sabbath, revealing how this often-overlooked practice is not just for ancient Israel—but a gift for all believers today.

“The world is moving quicker than ever before,” Rabbi Schneider explains. “And the result is that people are going to become anxious, they’re going to be stressed even more so than now.” However, he argues that God built a remedy into creation itself—the Sabbath.

The Sabbath: More Than Just a Law

Many Christians dismiss the Sabbath as part of the Old Testament Law, believing it no longer applies. But Rabbi Schneider challenges this assumption, pointing out that the Sabbath predates the Law of Moses.

“Shabbat is part of God’s divine design that He built into creation for mankind before the law was given,” Schneider explains, citing Genesis 2:1-3, where God rested on the seventh day and made it holy.

Roberts acknowledges how modern Christianity has lost touch with its roots: “We’ve kind of adapted Christianity to our Gentile ways instead of adapting to the roots of our faith.”

A Commandment with a Blessing

The Sabbath isn’t about rigid rules or legalism—it’s about spiritual blessing.

“Jesus said He was Lord of the Sabbath,” Rabbi Schneider reminds us. “The Sabbath was made for you and me… it was made for men. It means that God knew that we would need a day to be refreshed.”

Unlike the Pharisees of Jesus’ time, who turned the Sabbath into a burden with extra rules, Jesus emphasized its purpose: to restore, refresh and realign us with God.

A Practical Invitation

Honoring the Sabbath doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means setting aside time for God, family and true rest. “You don’t want to be engaged in the things of the world,” Rabbi Schneider advises. “You’re being refreshed unto the Lord.”

For many, this may seem impractical. Life is busy, bills need to be paid and rest feels like a luxury. But the Bible assures us that when Israel honored the Sabbath, God provided for them supernaturally (Exod. 16:20-26). “If we will honor God in this and take a day a week to rest unto Him,” Rabbi Schneider assures, “He will supernaturally provide.”
