A collection of warning dreams recorded in the late 1800s is drawing new attention as current events begin to mirror what was seen generations ago.

Evangelist Perry Stone points to these accounts as evidence that God still reveals what is ahead, saying, “Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants, the prophets.”

These dreams were reported shortly after the Civil War and documented by a New York journalist. They outlined nine specific developments tied to America’s future. Stone brings them into the present with a direct challenge: “These nine things that I have just told you were predicted in the 1800s. Now look at America’s condition right now.”

Here are the nine warnings from days long gone:

1. Division Inside the Home

“There will be internal fighting among families as predicted by Christ in the New Testament.”

The breakdown begins at the most personal level. Homes that once carried shared values now reflect sharp disagreement. Parents and children move in opposite directions. Marriages strain under competing beliefs. This shift removes stability at the foundation of society.

2. Conflict Without a Single Battlefield

“There will not be one big war, but fighting spreading out to states, cities and neighborhoods in America.”

The dream describes scattered unrest rather than a single war. Conflict appears in different places at different times. One city settles while another ignites. This pattern creates ongoing instability instead of a defined crisis.

3. Hidden Forces Draining Strength

“A secret band, which is a secret organization, will sap the life out of this nation.”

This points to influence that operates out of sight. Decisions and systems move in ways that weaken the nation over time. The effect is gradual but consistent, wearing down strength from within.

4. Nature Turning Violent

“The sea will heave beyond its bounds, engulfing cities, quakes, hail, rain and destruction.”

Water, land and sky all reflect disruption. Rising seas, earthquakes and severe storms impact entire regions. These events are not isolated but part of a broader pattern of instability.

5. Lawlessness in the Streets

“Mobs will roam the cities looking for money and food and destroying anyone opposing them.”

Order breaks down as groups move through cities unchecked. Businesses are targeted. Public safety becomes uncertain. Authority struggles to keep pace with the scale of the unrest.

6. Pressure From the Southern Border

“The Indians in the south of the border will raise up and challenge America.”

Using the language of its time, the dream points to tension from Mexico. That pressure now shows up at the southern border, affecting security and national stability.

7. Government Overreach and Instability

“The government will abuse the Constitution, go into severe debt, and you will see politicians flee for their safety.”

Foundational principles are strained. Debt rises sharply. Leadership faces growing pressure. The structure meant to provide order begins to show visible cracks.

8. Economic Strain on Work and Production

“Manufacturing will cease for a time. Even farmers will allow land to remain unfarmed.”

Production slows across industries. Factories shut down. Farmers step away from planting as costs rise. This affects supply, jobs and long-term sustainability.

9. Collapse Driven by Internal Conflict

“Internal fighting will cause collapse of the federal and state governments.”

Division at every level leads to dysfunction. Cooperation fades. Systems stall. The result is a structure that cannot hold under constant conflict.

A Nation Under Pressure

Stone ties these warnings directly to current conditions. “There’s 104 million people that right now are not working. There’s 1 in 8 that use food stamps.” Rising debt and struggling cities point to growing strain across the system.

He also explains why nations fail. “Democracies fail because of high taxes, trade wars, corruption in politics, and wars.” Each factor is already visible.

History shows repeated attempts to predict exact prophetic dates, all of which fell short. “If the Bible is talking about 1,260 days, it is talking about days.” The message is to stop forcing timelines and read Scripture plainly.

Stone points to Jesus’ words as the clearest guide. “The real clues in the New Testament to the return of the Lord will be found in Matthew chapter 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13.”

He ends with a direct warning. “When all the prayer warriors, all the people that are maybe strong prophetic teachers, are beginning to tell you the same thing, or they are seeing the same thing, that is real proof that something big is about to happen.”

The pattern is visible. Are you paying attention?

A global system is tightening its grip on buying, selling and control. Scripture already warned it would come. The question is not if it arrives, but whether believers recognize the difference between that system and God’s.

In a recent interview with Rebecca Lamb Weiss, Kap Chatfield delivered a direct challenge to how Christians view money, provision and power, pointing to a growing dependence on systems that compete with God’s design.

God’s Economy vs. Babylon’s System

“What the devil wants to do in Christians is he wants us to come out of agreement with the Word,” Chatfield said. “What we’re subtly doing is we’re putting our trust in Pharaoh and King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian economy and an antichrist agenda.”

Revelation describes a system where participation in the economy requires submission. Chatfield pointed to Deuteronomy, where God commands His Word to govern both thought and action.

“What is the Antichrist trying to do? It’s a mockery of an allegiance to an economic covenant,” he said.

This is not about money. It is about allegiance.

A Different Source of Provision

“We operate from a different economy,” Chatfield said. “My king owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He is El Shadai, the all-sufficient one. He is Jehovah Jireh. He is my provider and my prosper.”

Economic instability loses its grip when provision is rooted in covenant.

“It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the economy,” he said.

Orde Kap Chatfield’s New Book, “The Power to Prosper” on !

What Prosperity Really Means

“God would allow you to abound and be all sufficient in all things and have an abundance left over for every occasion of generosity,” Chatfield said, referencing 2 Corinthians 9.

Prosperity is not excess for self. It is provision for purpose. It is having what is needed to fulfill God’s assignment and more than enough to bless others.

Scripture shows this pattern again and again. God provides and that provision fuels purpose.

The Heart Follows the Treasure

“Wherever my money is sent is where my heart will follow,” Chatfield said.

Giving aligns the heart with the kingdom. Without it, alignment never fully happens.

Breaking the Cycle of Lack

“God’s people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge,” Chatfield said.

Misunderstanding keeps believers stuck, limits the Church’s impact and silences teaching on biblical stewardship. When truth is restored, provision grows and the mission moves forward.

“You never have a fixed income with God,” he said.

Built to Build, Not Beg

“Christians were made not to beg but to build,” Weiss said.

Giving is not about meeting a need. It is about what is added to the giver’s account and how the kingdom advances.

A Call to Realignment

Old mindsets must be laid down. Traditions that contradict Scripture must go. God’s Word must take final authority.

The choice is clear. Trust the system of Babylon or align with the economy of heaven.

One leads to control. The other leads to freedom.

And in a world moving toward total economic control, that choice carries weight now more than ever.

Why don’t we talk about prophecy more?

Pastor Jack Hibbs confronts that question head-on as he unpacks Daniel 9:24–27, declaring it the most powerful and overlooked section of Scripture. This prophecy is not symbolic or abstract. It is a precise timeline that proves God’s Word is true and that history is unfolding exactly as written.

“If God does not keep His prophetic promises then He is not God,” Hibbs says. “If He doesn’t keep His Word… I have no salvation.”

Why Daniel’s 70 Weeks Matters

This passage stands as the “holy of holies” of Bible prophecy, a declaration that lays out God’s redemptive timeline with exact precision.

The prophecy reveals:

• A total of 490 years appointed specifically for Israel and Jerusalem
• God’s plan to:

  • Finish transgression
  • End sin
  • Make reconciliation for iniquity
  • Bring in everlasting righteousness

• A definitive timeline leading directly to the Messiah
• A prophetic structure that is exact, measurable and undeniable

This level of accuracy separates the God of the Bible from every false system of belief.

A Timeline That Points Straight to Jesus

The prophecy begins with a decree to rebuild Jerusalem on March 14, 445 BC, when King Artaxerxes authorized Nehemiah to restore the city.

From that moment, the timeline unfolds with precision:

• 7 weeks (49 years) for rebuilding Jerusalem
• 62 weeks (434 years) leading to the Messiah
• Total: 483 years until the Messiah appears

At the exact point in history:

• The Messiah arrives in Jerusalem
• The Messiah is “cut off”
• The Messiah is executed not for Himself, but for others

“When you do the math… you come to April 6, 32 AD,” Hibbs says, marking the day Jesus entered Jerusalem.

The prophecy calculates this moment down to the exact day.

What Happens Next

The prophecy continues with events that follow the Messiah’s death:

• Jerusalem and the temple are destroyed
• A future world leader rises
• A seven-year covenant is established with Israel
• The covenant is broken at the midpoint
• The temple is desecrated

These final seven years align directly with the Tribulation described in the book of Revelation.

Why This Matters Right Now

This prophecy does not belong to the past. It is unfolding now.

• Israel has been restored as a nation
• The Jewish people have returned to their land
• The stage is set for the final seven years

God declared history in advance, and every fulfilled detail confirms what is coming next.

“I just proved to you the existence of God,” Hibbs says. “Study it… you can’t miss it.”

A Prophecy That Demands a Response

Daniel’s 70 weeks is not theory. It is proof.

The first 483 years were fulfilled exactly as written. The remaining seven years will unfold with the same precision. The rise of global leadership, the Tribulation and the return of Christ to Jerusalem are not distant ideas.

These are the next events on God’s timeline.

After months of cooler ocean conditions shaping weather around the globe, a major shift is now underway.

Scientists say the current La Niña pattern is fading fast, and something very different is on the horizon.

According to the latest update from the Climate Prediction Center, “a transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in the next month,” signaling the end of the current phase that has influenced weather since last year.

For us everyday Americans, that means the atmosphere is entering a temporary calm period before a likely flip in the opposite direction.

From La Niña to Neutral

La Niña has been marked by cooler-than-normal ocean temperatures in the Pacific. That trend held steady into February, with “below-average sea surface temperatures persisting in the east-central equatorial Pacific Ocean.”

But signs of change are already building beneath the surface.

Scientists report that ocean heat is rising below the surface, a key signal that the system is preparing to shift. At the same time, wind patterns and storm activity are beginning to loosen their grip on the La Niña pattern.

In simple terms, the engine driving La Niña is running out of fuel.

Forecasters now say ENSO-neutral conditions are most likely through early summer, with a “55% chance” of neutral conditions lasting from May through July.

El Niño Likely by Summer

After that, the pattern is expected to flip.

“In June-August 2026, El Niño is likely to emerge (62% chance) and persist through at least the end of 2026,” the report states.

El Niño is the opposite of La Niña. Instead of cooler waters, the Pacific Ocean warms up, which can dramatically shift weather patterns across the globe.

That can mean wetter conditions in some regions, drought in others and an increase in extreme weather events.

While it is too early to know exactly how strong this El Niño will become, forecasters say there is “a 1-in-3 chance that it would be ‘strong’ during October-December 2026.”

That is where the term “super El Niño” begins to enter the conversation.

What a Strong El Niño Could Mean

If a strong El Niño develops, it can have widespread impacts.

In the United States, that often means:

• Increased rainfall across the southern states
• Higher risk of flooding in certain regions
• Warmer winters in the northern U.S.
• Fewer Atlantic hurricanes due to increased wind shear

Globally, strong El Niño events have been linked to heat waves, crop disruptions and unusual storm patterns.

The current forecast stops short of guaranteeing a “super” event, but the building conditions are enough to keep scientists watching closely.

The report notes that rising subsurface heat and weakening trade winds are key reasons why “the increasing odds of El Niño are supported.”

Forecast Comes With Some Uncertainty

There is one important caveat.

Forecasts made during the spring are known to be less reliable, meaning there is still room for changes in how this develops.

La Niña is on its way out. Neutral conditions are next. And El Niño is increasingly likely to take over before the year is out.

For now, the world is entering a transition phase. What follows could shape weather patterns across the globe through the rest of 2026.

As space exploration surges back into focus with the launch of the Artemis II crew and their moon mission, questions about faith and science are rising with it. But Christian astrophysicist Hugh Ross says the deeper we go, the clearer the Bible becomes.

“He made us curious. I mean, we’re unique amongst all life on planet Earth in that we’re curious about everything,” Ross said to conservative commentator Glenn Beck. “I think God gave us a curiosity for a reason. He really does want us to explore.”

That curiosity, he explained, does not compete with faith. It strengthens it.

Does God Want Us Exploring Space?

As debate grows over missions to the moon and beyond, Ross pushed back on the idea that space exploration is a waste or an act of pride.

“We want to know what’s beyond the universe,” he said, pointing to humanity’s unique desire to explore what no other creation even considers.

Rather than a rebellion against God, Ross framed exploration as something rooted in design. The drive to discover is not accidental. It is intentional.

A Different Look at Noah’s Flood

Ross tackled one of Scripture’s most debated events head-on. “The Bible tells us that the flood lasted 375 days,” he said. “There had to be a lot of melting ice and snow for the flood to last that long.”

He pointed to massive ice age melt events and said the flood wiped out all humanity at the time without covering the entire globe. “It also puts the flood early enough in human history that the flood can wipe out the entire world of humanity.”

He also reframed the purpose behind it. “Humanity was literally in danger of self-extermination,” Ross said. “At least nine out of 10 people died as a result of being murdered.”

Genesis and Modern Science Align

Ross said the most striking detail is not just accuracy, but order. “It’s not just that the descriptions are correct, everything is in the correct chronological sequence.”

He pointed to scientific discoveries that now mirror Genesis, including atmospheric changes tied to oxygen levels. “When the oxygen hit 8% the atmosphere… cleared you could see through it.”

He added that Scripture described key features of the universe long before modern astronomy. “The universe has a beginning… expands… and gets progressively colder.”

The Sign That Matters Most

While many look to the skies for answers, Ross pointed to a different sign. “Jesus told His disciples that He would return the moment that His followers take the Good News… to all the people groups of the world.”

The mission is within reach. “We have the wealth, the technology and the people… All we lack is the motivation.”

For years, the timing of the rapture has sparked intense debate across the body of Christ.

Now, Bible teacher John Bevere is stepping into the conversation with clarity and conviction.

“I’ve never shared this before,” Bevere said on his podcast as he addressed the question: When does the catching away of the church occur?

“We’re going to talk about the catching away of the church… does it occur prior to the tribulation… or post tribulation?”

Not About Division

Bevere made it clear this issue should not divide believers.

“This is not given for you to argue with fellow Christians,” he said. “My wife and I don’t even see eye to eye on this.”

He shared that his wife holds a post-tribulation view but emphasized unity over disagreement.

We Are Not Appointed to Wrath

At the center of Bevere’s argument is a clear biblical distinction.

“First reason why I believe we will leave before the tribulation begins… we are not appointed to wrath,” he said.

“Tribulation is the wrath of the world against believers… the tribulation is the outpouring of God’s wrath on a sinful world.”

He pointed to Scripture declaring, “God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation.”

Order James Lasher’s New Book, “The Revelation of Jesus” on !

A Sobering Reality

Bevere underscored the severity of what Scripture describes during the tribulation.

“All the water on earth is going to be turned to blood,” he said. “There will be terrible storms with hail… 75 pounds.”

“In just the fourth seal… one fourth of all mankind will be killed.”

Then he posed the key question: “Does this sound like the language directed towards His bride?”

A Revelation From Scripture

Bevere also shared a moment of personal breakthrough.

“It took me three solid days,” he said. “I have never heard anybody preach this in my life.”

Pointing to Isaiah 26, he explained that believers are brought into “chambers” before judgment falls.

“These chambers have to be in heaven,” he said. “This shows… the resurrection… will happen before the… indignation is poured out.”

Hope, Not Fear

Ultimately, Bevere said this teaching should lead us to urgency and hope.

“There are people that no matter what God does, they don’t want to be saved,” he said.

For us, this is not about winning arguments or proving timelines. It is about staying ready, staying faithful and making sure no one around us misses what God is offering right now.

The conversation about when He comes will continue. But the call to be ready is already here.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is continuing to share his transformation, breaking down in tears while reading Scripture and reflecting on a new direction for his life.

“I’ve been crying, but happy tears… I’ve been reading the Bible… it’s just overwhelming in the best most beautiful way,” Hilton said in a recent video.

He explained that a passage about pruning deeply resonated with him, aligning with changes he had already begun making.

“I was reading about pruning… something that not only was I thinking of but I was doing already,” he said, pointing to efforts to simplify his life, including cutting down his social media activity.

Public Repentance

Hilton also openly addressed his past behavior.

“I made a lot of mistakes… my mistakes are very public,” he said. “I carry with me deep shame and regret. I’m sorry… I’ve apologized publicly and privately to dozens of people.”

He admitted his past was driven by attention and profit.

“I didn’t care who I hurt. I just cared about the views, the attention, the money,” he said.

Now, he says his focus has shifted.

“What matters is today. How I behave today, how I behave tomorrow,” he said. “God gave me a new lease on life… to truly be better and do better.”

From Crisis to Conversion

This moment builds on his earlier revelation after a life-threatening hospitalization with severe sepsis, where he said God revealed Himself to him and changed his life.

Raised Catholic but not previously committed in faith, Hilton described that experience as the turning point that led to his current spiritual journey.

A Call to Prayer

“My heart is filled with gratitude and love and repentance,” Hilton said.

As this story continues to unfold, let us pray that this transformation remains real, that repentance takes deep root and that his walk with the Lord produces lasting fruit.

A stunning archaeological discovery near the Sea of Galilee is shedding new light on the earliest practices of the Christian faith, revealing a depth of tradition that has remained hidden for centuries.

Archaeologists working in the ancient city of Hippos have uncovered a rare artifact that could reshape understanding of early baptism rituals, as reported by Fox News.

The 1,400-year-old object was found inside a ceremonial baptism hall known as a photisterion, a place where new believers entered into one of Christianity’s most sacred acts. Officials described the discovery as “a rectangular block bearing three hemispheric cavities, found beside a baptismal font in a newly revealed ceremonial hall.”

Researchers believe the unique design points to a deeper layer of early Christian worship. The three cavities may have held oils used in a threefold baptismal process, a structure that stands apart from what is typically known. Early Christian baptisms more commonly involved two anointings, making this artifact especially significant.

“After extensive examination and comparison, the scholars concluded that no known parallels to the artifact exist,” officials said.

Order Dinesh D’Souza’s New Book, “The End of Time” on !

The artifact was preserved when the structure collapsed during an earthquake in 749 A.D., protecting it beneath rubble for more than a millennium.

Today, it stands as a powerful witness to the devotion and detail that marked early Christian communities in a region closely tied to the ministry of Jesus.

Archaeologist Michael Eisenberg said the significance of the find was not immediately clear. “The object was ‘nothing special at first glance,’” he said to Fox News. “But here is exactly where the archaeological and liturgical studies came into play.”

“Realizing that it is a one-of-a-kind artifact that may fill unknown regional and perhaps wider lacunae in one of the most ancient and sacred Christian ceremonies was a complete surprise,” Eisenberg added.

He noted that the discovery may “open a portal” into how baptism rituals developed across different regions of the early church. “In different regions, distinct liturgical traditions developed, many of which are not documented in written sources,” he said. “This find offers a rare glimpse into how the baptismal rite was shaped and practiced in the Byzantine Christian community of Hippos.”

This discovery does more than fill historical gaps. It points back to the enduring power of baptism as a public declaration of faith, a practice rooted not only in Scripture but in a living tradition that has carried through generations.

As new pieces of the past come into focus, they remind us that the foundations of our faith were laid with intentionality, reverence and unwavering devotion to Christ.

Carrie Underwood is proving that faith still has a voice in mainstream culture, and it does not have to be hidden to succeed. In an industry that often rewards compromise and celebrates values far from God, her message lands with clarity and conviction.

As reported by The Christian Post, the country music star and “American Idol” judge is using one of the largest platforms in entertainment to remind both artists and audiences that success does not require spiritual surrender. “You don’t have to … sell your soul to make it in the entertainment industry,” Underwood said. “You are going to have to stand strong in your faith and remember who got you here, because it wasn’t you.”

Faith Comes First, Not Fame

Underwood’s words cut straight to the heart of the tension many Christian artists face. The pressure to conform is real, but she made it clear that faith is not something to sideline for the sake of opportunity. It is the foundation.

“Remember where your gifts come from, because it’s not from you,” she said. “Everybody kind of has to make their own way, but it is possible.”

That conviction is lived out. Underwood has built one of the most successful careers in country music while openly declaring her faith, refusing to separate her calling from her platform. Her journey offers a visible reminder that God-honoring success is not only possible but also powerful.

Worship in the Spotlight

That foundation was on full display during the “Songs of Faith” episode of “American Idol,” which aired during Easter week. What unfolded was not just another themed show. It became a moment where worship, prayer and testimony took center stage in front of millions.

“I love that we were able to … just be joyful and, you know, kind of have some moments of just worship in front of the world,” Underwood said. “I love that we had a little kid praying for us, Pastor Luke, it was just no fear.”

There was a noticeable shift in tone. Contestants sang openly about their faith. Judges embraced the moment. The atmosphere moved beyond performance and into something deeper.

“I mean, there were several times,” Underwood said, recalling moments that felt closer to a worship service than a competition.

Bold Faith in a Resistant Culture

The media landscape we live in often elevates messages that oppose biblical truth; this kind of public expression stands out. It does not rely on spectacle. It simply refuses to hide.

Underwood acknowledged the challenge of bringing faith into mainstream entertainment and praised the show for stepping into that space. “I respect ABC and ‘American Idol’ so much for being bold in this theme, because it’s not easy,” she said. “I feel like in the world of entertainment in general … it’s not easy.”

The approach allowed artists to share songs that reflected what faith meant to them, creating an environment that was both authentic and accessible. It showed that honoring God does not require watering anything down. It requires courage.

Faith is not a liability. It is the source. And when it is placed first, everything else finds its proper place.

If one artist can help turn a national broadcast into a moment of worship and bold testimony, what would our culture look like if more celebrities chose to use their platforms to lift up faith instead of pushing it aside?

The vast silence of space has a way of stripping life down to what matters most. From that vantage point, Victor Glover is not just piloting a historic mission. He is speaking directly to people back on Earth.

During a live interview with CBS News, as part of the Artemis II crew’s journey beyond Earth’s orbit, Glover delivered an Easter message that carried unusual weight. He was not addressing fellow astronauts. He was speaking to humanity watching from home.

“I don’t have anything prepared. I’m glad you brought it up, though; I think these observances are important,” Glover said when asked about the holiday.

Floating in the void, with Earth suspended in the distance, Glover described a perspective few humans have ever experienced, sharing it in real time with those still on the planet.

“As we are so far from Earth and looking at the beauty of creation, I think, for me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see the Earth as one thing,” he said.

Order Travis Johnson’s New Book, “[Un]Embarrassed” on !

That view does something. It removes borders. It silences noise. It reveals design.

“When I read the Bible and I look at all the amazing things that were done for us… You guys are talking to us because we’re in a spaceship really far from earth, but you’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe and the cosmos.”

From deep space, Earth does not look ordinary. It looks intentional.

Glover made it clear that his words were meant for those listening back home.

“Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we’re doing is special, but we’re the same distance from you. And I’m trying to tell you just trust me you are special,” he said. “In all of this emptiness this is a whole bunch of nothing this thing we call the universe you have this oasis this beautiful place that we get to exist together.”

It is a striking picture. Endless darkness surrounding a single, life-filled world. Not random. Not accidental. Set apart.

Easter, Glover said, is the perfect moment for those on Earth to pause and recognize that truth.

“I think, as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we are the same thing, and that we’ve gotta get through this together.”

From millions of miles away, the message is not distant at all. It is directed straight at those living on the very world he described.

Creation is not just something to observe. It is something to recognize, to steward and to stand in awe of.
