Red Heifers and the Return of Christ

We are witnessing biblical prophecy unfold right before our very eyes, yet far too many Christians remain oblivious to its significance.

The red heifer, a seemingly mundane aspect of ancient Jewish faith, is emerging as a pivotal symbol in the prophetic timeline. While its significance may sound obscure to some, it holds profound implications for believers attuned to the signs of the times.

It’s crucial to clarify that Christians do not believe the sacrifice of a red heifer can absolve sins; Jesus’ sacrifice alone holds that power. However, according to biblical prophecy, the ceremonial sacrifice of a red heifer in Israel is a precursor to significant end times events.

The imminent sacrifice of a red heifer is not merely a religious ritual; it carries profound eschatological implications. According to the Bible, the ashes of a red heifer are used in purification rituals to consecrate the Jewish people, their priests and the temple. This event, expected to occur soon in Israel, will undoubtedly have global ramifications, potentially livestreamed for the world to witness.

Four red heifers currently meet the purity qualifications for this sacred ceremony and they are being held in an undisclosed location somewhere in the area of Judea and Samaria. Land has been acquired on the Mount of Olives for the sacrifice, aligning with biblical instruction and the recently built altar faces into where the holy of holies is believed to have been located. The significance of these events cannot be overstated, as they align with biblical prophecies regarding the end times.

Scripture provides insight into the significance of these events. In Daniel 9:27, a verse often associated with the Great Tribulation, it is prophesied that sacrifices and offerings will cease. This implies the existence of a Third Temple in which these rituals can occur, paralleling the practices that took place in ancient Israel. The emergence of red heifers and preparations for their sacrifice in Israel align with these prophetic markers and lead to a resumption of temple practices.

However, opposition to these sacred ceremonies is evident. Even Hamas (and the entire Muslim world) recognize the significance of the red heifer and many seek to disrupt it. Why? A significant portion believes that this sacrifice will bring with it the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the retaking of the Temple Mount for the Jewish people along with ushering in the Dajjal (the Islamic version of the Antichrist). This shows just how intense the spiritual warfare surrounding the fulfillment of biblical prophecy is in our modern world.

Amid the chaos and uncertainty of the present age, Christians are called to heed Jesus’ admonition to “watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming,” (Matt. 24:42). The urgency of these times demands vigilance and discernment, rooted in prayer and scriptural truth. Being ignorant of the times we live in is simply not acceptable for a proclaiming Christian, as we are called to be the salt of the Earth, not the bystanders.

While the exact timeline of end times events remains unknown, believers are urged to remain vigilant, prepared for the imminent return of Christ. As we witness the unfolding of biblical prophecy, we must not be complacent but actively engage in spreading the gospel and building God’s kingdom on earth.

The significance of the red heifer in Bible prophecy cannot be understated. It serves as a tangible reminder of the unfolding of God’s divine plan and the imminence of Christ’s return. As we navigate these tumultuous times, may we remain steadfast in faith, watching and praying as we await the culmination of God’s redemptive purposes in history.

Joseph Z: There’s A Prophetic Word in Baltimore Bridge Collapse

Early in the morning on Tuesday, Mar. 26, the United States was shocked to watch a cargo container ship crash into the Francis Scott Key bridge, collapsing the structure.

This catastrophic event saw the Port of Baltimore shut down and is expected to have a devastating impact on the area for both commuters and cargo haulers.

To date, there are two confirmed fatalities and a total of six suspected deaths caused by the bridges collapse, however salvage crews need to continue work before rescue and recovery efforts can continue, according to the AP.

What if there were more to this event than meets the eye? Many have already taken issue and voiced their opposition to the government’s official narrative and declared this to be a “black swan” event.

But suppose there was a supernatural side to this devastating tragedy?

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

According to Z Ministries, prophetic voice Joseph Z had “earlier prophesied in his past broadcast of Oct. 4, 2021, about ships in the sea, where he hoped and prayed that the ships he saw in his vision were not a Trojan horse for military action. Also, in his broadcast on Dec. 31, 2020, he gave the same prophetic word about sinking ships, explosive sea vessels, fire and pollution.”

With the current state of the world being one that embraces darkness and rejects the righteousness and design of God, could the mass casualty event in Baltimore have been a sign of the times and a warning to America?

On Mar. 13, Z prayed against this very scenario, holding a live broadcast to lift up America before the throne of God and “he prayed against mass casualties on US soil.”

For those doubting the power of prayer, remember, the judgment of Nineveh would not have been halted if Jonah had simply prayed for the city, there must be repentance to delay or halt God’s retribution for their sin.

“The prophetic word I’ve been giving is number one: that there’s coming a cyber attack,” Z warns.

“It is a attack on our Star Spangled Banner. It’s an attack on everything, and it is dropping so to speak some of the very word or the the penned song for our national anthem. It is an assault on the US. When this happened, this word ‘Dali’ is the title or the name of the vessel that hit it. It means this [in Hebrew]…drawn up of God or drawn towards God. That’s the name that’s the meaning drawn towards God or Heavenly Offspring,” Z reveals.

“We’re coming to a moment where the Lord is saying, ‘draw back up to Me. Come up to Me. Come up higher.’ That’s what He’s saying now,” Z continues.

In the wake of the deadly shooting that took place in Russia, in the wake of the war in Israel and the conflicts all around the world, Z is calling the Christian community to seize this Nineveh moment and pray with a repentant heart against the slew of mass casualty events that are plaguing the world.

“I am interceding over America against more mass casualty events against all these issues,” Z shares. “These are terrible issues that are taking place. … I believe there’s going to be a lot of justice that is served in a lot of these areas and some of the people are calling these out.”

“I believe there is a lot more to this demonic narrative that’s trying to casue these things to happen,” Z continues.

If Christians ever wonder what they can do to help a world that they may feel powerless in, join Z in prayer and repentance for our nation, for our world. God is a just God, and is longsuffering in waiting for His people to turn their hearts back towards Him. But times of judgment will follow the sins of a people and a nation.

“I’ve been praying and interceding and working through this process, and I want you to join me. I want you to join me in praying for America. I want you to join me in praying for your precious nation,” Z says.

TD Jakes Named in Lawsuit Against Diddy

In the wake of a Homeland Security raid on rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ estates in Los Angeles and Miami, a list of celebrity names has been revealed in court filings for a lawsuit against Combs.

On that list is senior pastor of the Dallas-area megachurch The Potter’s House, Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Media outlet Newsweek listed the celebrities appearing alongside Bishop Jakes in the lawsuit:

  • Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), a music producer and television personality
  • A redacted name of a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj
  • A Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who had trouble with law enforcement after assaulting a Bajan billionaire, whose name was also redacted
  • Yung Miami, who was not labeled as a celebrity in the filing
  • Prince Harry
  • Bishop T.D. Jakes
  • Cassie Ventura, a singer and dancer
  • Georgia Mass Choir
  • Donald Lawrence, songwriter and music producer
  • The Clark Sisters
  • Smokie Norful
  • Faheem Muhammad
  • DeForrest Taylor
  • Jose Cruz

Bishop Jakes has not currently been charged with any crimes and has categorically denied previous accusations made against him in regards to attendance at Diddy’s infamous parties.

It is reported that the raids are in response to a series of sex-trafficking allegations made against Combs, in addition to a recent string of lawsuits that allege the entrepreneur also committed sexual assault along with additional cases of trafficking.

As Charisma News previously reported, The Christian Post talked with Derrick Williams, executive vice president of T.D. Jakes Entertainment, who said:

Bishop Jakes was in LA for important business meetings, and we felt that a quick appearance at the former Chairman of Revolt’s birthday event was the respectful thing to do since Bishop Jakes’ sermons are aired on the Revolt Network.

We both greeted the family, Bishop Jakes recorded a brief celebratory birthday video and left immediately to take our other scheduled meetings. Any accusation to the contrary is wholly unsubstantiated, unverified and false.

Bishop Jakes will continue to break down barriers and find relevant ways to tell faith-based and value-based stories. This and only this continues to be our North Star.

The accusations against Jakes stemmed from “an unverified report that accused Jakes of being a frequent participant at sex parties hosted by music mogul Sean Combs, known as Diddy. However, a representative for Jakes has dismissed the claims as ‘unequivocally false and baseless.'”

Currently, there are no reports of Combs being arrested, and it is suspected that he fled the country shortly before the raids occurred in his private jet to an island in the Bahamas according to NBC News. It has not yet been confirmed if he was in fact on the jet when it left U.S. borders.

This is a developing story, and Charisma Media will provide updates as they are released.

‘Make America Pray Again’: Donald Trump Selling ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles

Former President Donald Trump made headlines, again, but this time it wasn’t for any trial developments or considerations as to who his pick for vice president in his potential administration would be.

This time, he is promoting the God Bless the USA Bible on his social media app Truth Social, alongside country music legend Lee Greenwood.

“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible,” Trump posted on the platform alongside a video of himself promoting the bible.

In the video, Trump exhorts all Americans to keep a Bible in their home.

“All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” Trump says.

Within the pages of this King James Version of the Bible, according to their website, is a copy of:

  • Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
  • The U.S. Constitution
  • The Bill of Rights
  • The Declaration of Independence
  • The Pledge of Allegiance.

The large print Bible is currently being sold for $ online.

Throughout the video, Trump declared that America needs to bring religion and Christian values back to America, and that is the way to stop the current course America has found herself on.

“Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country. And I truly believe that we need to bring them back and have to bring them back fast,” Trump says. “I think it’s one of the biggest problems we have. That’s why our country is going haywire. We’ve lost religion in our country.”

As reported by Fox News, “The Bible is the latest product Trump has promoted after releasing a line of $400 sneakers earlier this year.”

What’s Coming After the Eclipse?

As the Apr. 8, date of the Great American Eclipse rapidly approaches, many are filled with unease and wonder what is going to happen after the occurrence is over?

In a recent YouTube video, evangelist Perry Stone addresses the words of Jesus and what will occur as the precursors to the end times and the lead up to the Great Tribulation.

Stone starts by turning to the source of all wisdom: the Word of God and shares what Jesus says in Luke 21:11:

And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

“Notice He says great earthquakes, so whatever the great and fearful signs in the heaven will be, whatever Jesus is talking about in this reference, is connected to earthquakes, famines and pestilences,” explains Stone.

This particular reference of Scripture draws a distinctly possible connection between the solar eclipse that is going to occur on Apr. 8, and the area in which it will travel, and that is over the New Madrid Fault line.

“How in the world are there signs in the sun and the moon? The answer is in Joel 2 and Acts chapter 2. It talks about the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord, the great and terrible day of the Lord’s the tribulation we’re not in the tribulation but we’re headed there, so these cosmic signs will happen before the Great Tribulation but there’ll be a sign that the tribulation is coming in the future blood moons,” Stone continues.

Unbeknownst to many, we just went through a penumbral lunar eclipse on the second day of Purim, on Monday, Mar. 25, exactly two weeks before the solar eclipse is supposed to take place.

These signs in the heavens lining up one after another after another, including the coming Jewish holiday of Passover taking place Apr. 22-30, have many fearful that a large-scale event is going to take place some time during or after the eclipse.

“The big thing that everybody’s talking about is it crosses over the New Madrid fault line,” says Stone. “…now John Kilpatrick a great man of God and several other men for years have had dreams or visions of the New Madrid fault line giving way.”

Should this event happen, and should it happen on a large scale such as 7.0 to 8.0 on the Richter scale or similar in strength to the quakes in the early 1800s, then massive disruption will occur in the United States.

According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, if the New Madrid Fault were to have recurring quakes of this size and scale, it would lead to “significant damage to buildings, transportation and critical infrastructure would occur in at least eight states, resulting in loss of life and economic disruption.”

“The danger to the United States would be that the railroad bridge[s] connecting part of the West with the East Coast are cut off. The bridges for trucks to deliver food are cut off. …So there would be a complete shutting off, a split, between the central and western part of the United States and the east coast of the United States. And the food supply would be diminished within probably, I would say within a few hours, because everybody would panic in trying to get food in the stores,” says Stone.

While Stone is not giving a specific timeline for an occurrence to take place, he does believe that the eclipse on Apr. 8, is one of the great and fearful signs Jesus spoke of, in which case something will transpire in the wake of the eclipse.

Stone encourages believers to take practical steps to be prepared for disaster scenarios, but more importantly, prepare their hearts and ensure that they are prepared spiritually.

“Be prepared is what I’m trying to say, and also realize these are signs that the Messiah is going to return. So your your greatest thing to do is to spiritually prepare for the coming of the Lord. That’s it,” Stone says.

Warnings Sound for Upcoming Eclipse

Whether you are enamored by the physical beauty and awe of the upcoming Great American Eclipse 2024 or that this celestial event is a sign from God for humanity to pay close attention to, there is a multitude of alarms being raised over the sheer size of this event.

To date, several counties in the path of the solar eclipse have declared states of emergency for the vast numbers of onlookers who wish to see this amazing scene unfold, while the state of Oklahoma has called up their National Guard to assist with the massive influx of people.

As preparations are being made, more warnings are being released by authorities over various disruptions caused by the eclipse itself.

The FAA has issued a warning regarding potential disruptions caused by the eclipse.

According to The Hill:

The FAA warned pilots to prepare for operational changes and higher-than-normal traffic volume at airports along the eclipse’s path. These airports include Burlington International Airport, Syracuse Hancock International Airport, Indianapolis International Airport, Fort Wayne Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Buffalo Niagara International Airport and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Meanwhile, various business leaders for cellular companies as well as local authorities have warned the public that cell service may also be disrupted during the eclipse as over 1 million visitors are expected to flock to areas within the eclipse’s path.

According to Rebecca Owens, director of the Richland County Emergency Management Authority in Ashland, Ohio, in a statement to the Richland Source, “Cell phone (reception) will be very, very sketchy. There will be lots of issues with connectivity and that type of thing.”

The news outlet Unilad reported that:

With an expected one million tourists heading to Texas, 500,000 flocking to Indiana and Ohio – where Richland County is – and around 400,000 visiting New York, it’s feared that the huge influx of people gathering to watch the eclipse could cause problems with cell connectivity.

Companies such as T-Mobile and Verizon are reportedly working to get out ahead of the problem and are working to increase network capacity for the eclipse hunters.

A surge in usage not withstanding, NASA has previously announced that the eclipse itself could cause some issues with connectivity during the celestial event.

“The sudden changes in ionospheric conditions during an eclipse can lead to the formation of ionospheric anomalies, such as ionospheric holes or depletions,” wrote HamSCI Citizen Science Team Member McKenzie Denton.

“These anomalies can disrupt radio signals and GPS navigation systems, affecting communication and navigation over the affected regions.

“… The altered ionospheric conditions during an eclipse can change how radio waves propagate through the ionosphere.

“This can cause signal fading, absorption, and refraction, affecting shortwave and satellite communication systems.”

The total solar eclipse is going to occur on Apr. 8, 2024, with the next eclipse expected to occur June 21, 2039.

Who Compared Trump to Jesus During Holy Week?

In the process of preparing for another trial, former President Donald Trump shared an unexpected source of inspiration, which predictably blew the roof off the mainstream media.

The suit against Trump for allegedly paying porn star Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, hush money while he was a presidential candidate in 2016, has now been pushed back to the month of April. It is being reported that jury selection will begin Apr. 15.

In addition, Trump and his team also received some welcomed news from an appellate court on Monday.

As reported by Newsweek:

Trump faced a Monday deadline to pay the $454 million fine or post bond in his business fraud case after Judge Arthur Engoron in February ordered him to pay $355 million after siding with New York Attorney General Letitia James in a civil suit. The payment shot up past $450 million with interest.

[The appeals court] reduced his bond to $175 million dollars, substantially lower than the $454 million bond ordered by Judge Engoron, and gave him 10 more days to pay those funds.

Meanwhile, Trump shared on his social media platform Truth Social an inspiring message that was sent to him by an unnamed source.

Due to the message mentioning the persecution of Christ during Holy Week and Trump enduring trials around the same time, a media storm of accusations claims that Trump is comparing himself to Jesus.

While some argue that Trump’s legal woes are self-inflicted, many of his supporters believe there is a political witch hunt taking place against the former president to keep him out of the White House.

The majority of the post comes from Psalm 109:3-8, which is a “Plea for Judgment of False Accusers.” Trump has claimed to be fighting similar persecution from the inception of his legal problems.

Trump has already garnered one major victory against Daniels and the charges she has levied against him which Trump has categorically denied.

As reported by CNN:

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the former president in his effort to recoup additional legal fees from adult film star Stormy Daniels, who had filed and lost a defamation suit against him.

Daniels was ordered to pay Trump’s attorneys just over $120,000 in legal fees. That’s on top of the more than $500,000 in court-ordered payments to Trump attorneys she’s already been ordered to pay.

Nevermind the fact that Trump only shared what someone else had sent to him, which was largely verses of Scripture, but this current news cycle highlights the insanity that awaits us through the 2024 election season and beyond, should Trump retake the White House.

In the meantime, pray for all parties in American government and those running for office. What America needs right now is righteous leadership that is willing to repent for the sins of this nation and act in a biblically moral fashion.

Christian Roundtable Debate: What is a False Teacher?

In a roundtable discussion that lasted over four hours, several prominent Christian voices discussed a question that has followed the church since it’s inception: what constitutes a false teacher?

This is just one area of debate that took place between Justin Peters, leader of Justin Peters Ministries; Jim Osman, pastor of Kootenai Community Church; Michael Brown, host of the “Line of Fire” podcast; and Sam Storms, pastor emeritus of Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City.

The group unanimously agreed that such individuals espouse teachings conflicting with core Christian beliefs, such as the divinity of Christ and salvation by faith.

However, things got a bit more strained when the topic of discussion focused on whether individuals who have previously erred in their teachings but repented could still be deemed false teachers. A considerable portion of the discussion revolved around Benny Hinn, known for his teachings on supernatural healings, the prosperity gospel and prophecy.

The debate also focused on historical figures like Martin Luther, whose controversial writings raised questions about his classification as a false teacher. Brown highlighted Luther’s anti-Semitic writings were so radical that the Nazi’s used them in their propaganda campaign.

“He promoted things that undermine the gospel,” says Brown. “Many Jewish people think that Christianity is miserable and despicable because of Martin Luther … there is at least from our perspective … a glaring double standard, an unequal weight measure and God hates unequal weights and measures.”

While Peters admitted he did not agree with Luther on all matters of theology, he refrained from labeling Luther a false teacher based on his gospel teachings.

“Judging from the teachings that he gave concerning the gospel, I can’t on the basis of that and the things that he taught in those regards, call him a false teacher,” Peters shares.

Turning to modern Christian leaders, the discussion touched on IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle’s claims of supernatural experiences and Sid Roth’s ministry through his flagship program, It’s Supernatural.

“I believe that Mike Bickle has lied about a number of things. In fact, not the least of which he claims to have been to heaven at least twice. I don’t believe that,” says Osman.

Despite having wildly different views on certain aspects of Christianity, the four men presented themselves as positive models for Christians in their willingness to come together and communicate with one another in the search for biblical truth.

“Let’s try to work together, see the good, and we can have our biblical differences,” encourages Brown.

‘Shifting Gears’: New Tim Allen Show About Family Restoration

Tim Allen, the renowned actor and comedian, is making headlines once again as ABC orders a pilot for his latest sitcom, Shifting Gears. The show will mark Allen’s third collaboration with ABC, following the long-running hit Home Improvement and the beloved Last Man Standing.

In Shifting Gears, Allen stars as Matt, a hardheaded widower who owns a shop specializing in restoring classic cars. The multi-camera sitcom, written and executive produced by Mike and Julie Scully, promises to bring Allen’s signature humor and charm to a new generation of viewers.

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

While the show’s premise centers on classic car restoration, it’s likely that Shifting Gears will also explore themes of family, friendship and personal growth, with the focus being on Allen restoring his relationship with his estranged daughter, much like Allen’s previous shows. The actor’s ability to seamlessly blend humor and heart has made him a fan favorite, and there’s little doubt that Shifting Gears will continue this tradition.

ABC’s decision to order a pilot for Shifting Gears should come as no surprise, given the network’s successful history with Allen. The actor’s previous shows have been ratings hits, with Home Improvement running for eight seasons and Last Man Standing for nine. Both series showcased Allen’s comedic talents and his ability to connect with audiences on a personal level.

However, Disney made a questionable decision in the past when they attempted to recast Allen’s voice for Toy Story icon Buzz Lightyear with the voice of left-wing actor Chris Evans.

Allen is one of the few remaining conservative voices still getting work in Hollywood, and many attributed this change in voice actor as one of the many reasons the film Lightyear bombed at the box office.

The Scullys, who will serve as executive producers alongside Allen, are no strangers to the world of television. Mike Scully is best known for his work on The Simpsons, while Julie Thacker Scully has written for a variety of popular shows.

With the show still in development, it is still a nice change of pace to see a family oriented, and appropriate, show greenlit among the surge of spiritually harmful media being pumped out by studios these days.

National Guard Preparing for 2024 Great American Eclipse

As the Great American Eclipse approaches on Apr. 8, 2024, the Oklahoma National Guard is gearing up to provide support and assistance to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for millions of Americans.

The eclipse, which will be visible across a wide swath of the United States, is expected to draw massive crowds and present a multitude of challenges for local and state authorities. Some regions have already ordered emergency and disaster declarations ahead of the influx of people in rural areas.

In response to this pressing issue, the ONG is taking proactive steps to ensure a smooth and successful eclipse event takes place.

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

To prepare for the eclipse watchers flocking to their state, the ONG has been working closely with state and local authorities to develop comprehensive plans and strategies. This includes identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, establishing clear lines of communication and conducting training exercises to ensure that all personnel are prepared for the event.

One of the key challenges the ONG will face is managing the sheer number of visitors arriving to watch the total eclipse. This 120-mile-wide path will stretch from Texas to Maine, passing through several major cities and drawing millions of visitors from around the world. To manage this surge in population, the ONG will be deploying additional personnel and resources to key locations along the path.

In addition to managing the crowds, the ONG will also be responsible for ensuring public safety during the eclipse. This includes providing emergency medical support, coordinating search and rescue operations, and assisting with any natural disasters or other emergencies that may occur during the event.

As reported by Newsweek:

Lt. Col Jabonn Flurry, commander of the 63rd Civil Support Team, said: “This influx of visitors has the potential to overtax local resources and thanks to the training and experience our Guardsmen have working alongside local agencies all across Oklahoma, the CST is uniquely qualified to support our fellow Oklahomans.”

Charisma News previously reported the words of Pastor Troy Brewer, who explained how historically, and biblically, God has used celestial events to get the attention of His people.

A major highlight of Pastor Brewer’s talk is the upcoming Great American Eclipse which will take place Apr. 8. Referring to Jesus’ words about signs in the sun, moon and stars in Matthew 24, Brewer pointed out the significance of this celestial event, signaling the start of a crucial seven-year cycle since the last major American eclipse in 2017.

For those skeptical about the celestial signs, Brewer connected the upcoming eclipse to a verse in Exodus 4:8, where God tells Moses that if people don’t believe the first sign, they will believe the second. This biblical tie-in adds weight to the belief that this eclipse isn’t just a regular occurrence but a divine message.

Meanwhile, the ONG’s efforts are not limited to the day of the eclipse itself. In the days and weeks leading up to the event, the ONG will be working with local and state agencies to educate the public on safety precautions and best practices for viewing the eclipse. This includes distributing information on proper eye protection, safe viewing locations and other important safety tips.
