The world is changing at a rapid pace, and with it comes a growing urgency to understand how current events align with biblical prophecy. Pastor Tom Hughes recently discussed a range of pressing issues, from shifting alliances in the Middle East to the growing influence of artificial intelligence and economic concerns. Through it all, one central message remains clear—now is the time to keep eyes fixed on the truth.
Trump’s Middle East Strategy: A New Power Shift?
One of the most significant geopolitical developments today revolves around the U.S. approach to the Middle East under President Trump. While his full plan remains unrevealed, one thing is certain—Saudi Arabia is emerging as a central player. Hughes states, “Saudi Arabia is gonna the the lead… it’s about money, it’s about billions of dollars if not turning into trillions in the future.”
This shift means Israel will likely face pressure to enter into a peace agreement. The United Arab Emirates has also stepped into the mix, with the UAE declaring, “Hey, we want to lead the peace in Gaza.” Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly pushing Egypt to absorb Palestinian refugees as part of a broader regional strategy, saying he “hoped el-Sisi… would agree to his idea to remove Gazans to neighboring countries during rebuilding in the [Gaza]strip as the U.S. provides Egypt with much aid; says will discuss two-state solution with Netanyahu soon.”
But the deeper concern isn’t just the political maneuvering; it’s the prophetic implications. Hughes warns, “Joel chapter 3, God says that he will judge those who divide the land of Israel… and remember this also, Zechariah Chapter 12, that Jerusalem will become a cup of trembling.”

The Vatican and AI: A Growing Threat to Society?
Artificial intelligence continues to advance at an astonishing rate, raising questions about its impact on society. Even the Vatican is now voicing concern, stating, “AI could undermine foundations of society.”
The rapid development of AI-driven technology, particularly by global powers like China, is accelerating beyond what most people realize. “We are watching this competition of AI, and things are going to escalate in the world of AI in a way that you and I have not yet even imagined,” Hughes explains. While many remain unaware of the dangers ahead, industry leaders are fully aware of what is coming.
Iran, Russia and the Looming Ezekiel 38 Conflict
Military alliances are also shifting, particularly between Iran and Russia. Iran has recently acquired Russian-made fighter jets, which raises further concerns about future conflicts. “Iran’s revolutionary guards says Iran purchased Russia-made Suco 35 fighter jets,” Hughes reports.
While the long-anticipated Ezekiel 38 war is not yet upon the world, the pieces are moving into place. “Iran, Russia, they’re not ready for Ezekiel 38 war yet, but things are still moving that direction.” This potential conflict could unfold when Israel is lulled into a false sense of security. Hughes points out, “Israel is going to be taken by surprise when it happens.”
The War on Wages: AI’s Impact on the Economy
Beyond the battlefield, another war is brewing, this time on the economic front. AI investors have set their sights on an unsettling goal: reducing human wages. “Top AI investor says goal is to crash human wages,” Hughes warns.
The consequences of such an agenda could be far-reaching, leading to widespread reliance on government aid. “Think of a universal basic income,” Hughes explains, connecting these developments to biblical prophecy. “I want you to think of this in the light of the rider on the black horse, Revelation chapter 6, the third horse of the Apocalypse… the economy eventually is going to be crashed.”
What happens when a majority of people become dependent on a controlled income system? “It’ll force the masses of the people… totally dependent upon the government, and they’re saying that’s what their plan is.” These developments are not just economic shifts but indicators of a world heading toward biblical fulfillment.
A Warning Against Political Distractions
In a world dominated by division, one of the greatest dangers is losing sight of the ultimate truth. Hughes urges caution against getting caught up in choosing political sides, emphasizing a greater focus: “Everybody wants you to take a side… whether it’s the political world, wars and rumors of wars… but this is about the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Too often, people seek to label political figures as the Antichrist or false prophet, pulling focus away from the bigger picture. “They want you to name the Antichrist, they want you to name the false prophet… and the sight of the truth of the Gospel of Jesus is being—we’re being distracted from it.”
