The headlines flash across screens by the hour. Missiles over the Middle East. Earthquakes are rattling nations. Artificial intelligence is rewriting reality in real time. Governments are preparing new UFO disclosures. Around the world, the sense that humanity is standing at the edge of something historic continues to grow.
That urgency drove L.A. Marzulli during a recent episode of his new “Prophecy Update” segment, where he connected global events to biblical prophecy with the same intensity that has defined his work for decades.
“Jesus warned us that there would be wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes in diverse places and troublesome times,” Marzulli said. “If you don’t take that literal, then you can’t get there. You don’t understand where we are in the prophetic timeline.”
Wars and Rumors of Wars
From Iran to Ukraine, Marzulli painted a world spiraling deeper into instability.
“There’s always been war on the planet,” he said. “But today it’s different because of the nuclear card. If someone plays that, it’s game over.”
Marzulli focused heavily on the growing tensions involving Iran, Israel and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, warning that the conflict is far from over.
“It will resume unless there’s a complete regime change,” he said regarding the Iranian conflict with Israel. “I don’t see the IRGC standing down. They’re too indoctrinated.”
He also pointed to escalating military developments from North Korea and Turkey, including reports of intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities.
“You read a story like this, Turkey unveils intercontinental ballistic missile. You can’t make this stuff up,” he said.
The veteran researcher described the current global environment as a pressure cooker unlike any previous generation has faced.
“Things flare up and tensions mount and then war breaks out like with Russia and Ukraine,” Marzulli said. “There’s no end in sight to it.”

The Strait of Hormuz and the Global Pressure Cooker
Marzulli also turned attention toward the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway responsible for a massive percentage of the world’s oil transport.
Years ago, he warned that Iran’s greatest leverage point would be shutting down the Strait. Now, as new pipeline systems emerge to bypass the region, he believes the geopolitical chessboard is rapidly shifting.
“About 20 to 30% of the oil comes out of the Strait of Hormuz,” he said. “India has been impacted, Pakistan has been impacted, Japan and certainly China. Things are getting weird.”
Marzulli criticized mainstream media outlets for failing to properly report on many of these developments.
“We get nothing about it at all really,” he said. “You got to go off-site to get real reporting.”
The Third Temple and the Prophetic Timeline
One of the strongest portions of the broadcast centered on Jerusalem and the growing discussion surrounding the rebuilding of the Third Temple.
“The temple will be rebuilt. End of story,” Marzulli declared. “What was written will come to pass. What was foretold is unfolding.”
He pushed back forcefully against theological positions that dismiss biblical prophecy as symbolic or allegorical.
“If you hold to an amillennial perspective where all this is allegory, you don’t know where you are in the timeline,” he said. “These are the last of the last days.”
Marzulli pointed to increasing public discussion inside Israel about Jewish worship on the Temple Mount and proposals surrounding future temple construction.
“There’s plenty of room on that Temple Mount,” he said. “You don’t even have to destroy the Dome of the Rock.”
He also referenced Amos 9:14-15 while discussing modern Israel and the regathering of the Jewish people.
“That was never fulfilled until now,” he said. “If the Jews are kicked out of their land, then God’s a liar. But God’s not a liar.”
The rebirth of Israel remains one of the clearest prophetic signs in modern history and a reminder to us that Scripture continues proving itself true in real time.
Earthquakes and the Groaning Earth
As he moved through headlines involving earthquakes in places like Japan, Colombia and Papua New Guinea, Marzulli connected the growing frequency of global disasters to Christ’s warnings about the last days.
“Earthquakes, there it is,” he said while reviewing recent reports. “It’s just unbelievable.”
The pace of world events, he argued, is accelerating rapidly.
“These are the last of the last days,” he warned.
Those moments are reminders to stay spiritually awake and grounded in God’s Word, rather than becoming consumed by fear.
UFO Disclosure and Non-Human Intelligence
Marzulli also revisited one of the subjects that has defined much of his research career: UFO disclosure and non-human intelligence.
He referenced anticipated government releases connected to UFO files and discussed claims from military figures, including retired Navy Admiral Tim Gallaudet.
“I think we’re getting ready for another information dump,” Marzulli said.
He also referenced comments from Rep. Tim Burchett, who reportedly described upcoming disclosures as a “holy ____ moment.”
Marzulli has long argued that we as Christians must approach the UFO phenomenon through a biblical lens rather than a purely scientific one.
“The prophetic word is part of our Bible,” he said. “To dismiss that is to dismiss the supernatural.”
Artificial Intelligence and a Changing Reality
Another major focus of the update centered on artificial intelligence and the growing fears surrounding rapidly advancing technology.
“We are in unprecedented times,” Marzulli said.
He discussed AI-generated cyberattacks, manipulated media and the difficulty of distinguishing between authentic and fabricated content online.
“It’s getting to the point where you can’t tell anymore what’s AI,” he warned.
Marzulli also pointed to reports about AI-generated rabbis spreading anti-Semitic propaganda online.
“You just can’t make this up,” he said.
Rising Anti-Semitism and a One-World Religion
Marzulli tied increasing anti-Semitism in America and around the world directly to biblical prophecy.
“The whole world will turn against Israel,” he said. “Why? Because prophecy says it.”
He later shifted to comments from the pope, who prayed inside a mosque alongside an imam, saying the moment reflects the growing formation of a future global religious system.
“What we see is the formation of a one-world religious system,” he said.
Those developments reinforce the importance of discernment. Scripture repeatedly warns that deception will increase in the last days, making it critical that we remain anchored to biblical truth.
A World Racing Toward Prophecy
By the end of the broadcast, Marzulli returned to the message that has fueled his ministry for years: believers must remain spiritually awake while the world grows darker and more unstable.
“Prophecy is real,” he said.
He then pointed back to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy surrounding Jesus Himself.
“How about the virgin will conceive? How about when it says He’ll be born in Bethlehem? How about they pierce my hands and my feet?” Marzulli asked. “These are all prophecies.”
The conflicts. The technological upheaval. The chaos surrounding Israel. The rise of deception. None of it catches God off guard.
Marzulli’s message lands with urgency because it calls us back to discernment and biblical literacy at a moment when truth itself feels under attack. Scripture warned us these days would come. The answer is not fear. It is readiness. It is faith rooted deeply in the Word of God.
As the world races toward uncertainty, we do not stand without hope. Christ told us beforehand so that when these things begin unfolding, we would recognize the season and remain steadfast. The darker the hour becomes, the brighter the truth of God’s promises shines before us.
“What was written will come to pass,” Marzulli said. “What was foretold is unfolding.”
