Perry Stone recently shared a compelling message through Daystar, revealing four clear signs that signal the approach of the end times. Drawing deeply from Scripture and current global realities, Stone paints a sobering picture of where we stand prophetically and urges believers to prepare their hearts for what is ahead.
1. A Worldwide Refusal to Repent
Stone’s first sign is the growing resistance to the message of repentance. He observes that even after devastating events, such as catastrophic hurricanes, many people remain unchanged spiritually—showing no urgency to turn toward God. Referencing the book of Revelation, he points out that there will come a time when people endure God’s judgments but refuse to repent; instead, they curse God and blame Him for their troubles.
He compares this to Noah’s generation, which was warned for decades about a coming flood but dismissed it as nonsense. Likewise, today’s generation often mocks the idea of Christ’s return or ignores calls to repentance, lacking faith and being hardened in heart. Stone believes this rejection will become widespread after an end-time revival, ultimately leading to a generation that no longer responds to calls for repentance.

2. The Filling of the Cup of Iniquity
The second sign centers on the biblical concept of the “cup of iniquity,” which symbolizes accumulated sin and rebellion. Stone explains that sin can be seen as falling short or missing the mark, but iniquity is a deeper level of moral corruption and perversity.

Using King David’s sin with Bathsheba as an example, Stone emphasizes that some sins penetrate the heart so deeply they block prayers and hinder God’s blessings. When the “cup” becomes full—whether for individuals or nations—it triggers divine judgment. Stone warns believers to guard their hearts against hidden sins like bitterness, unforgiveness and deception that can lead to spiritual barrenness.
3. Covenant Breakers Turning Hostile Toward the Righteous
Stone’s third sign involves those who once had a relationship with God but have turned away and become antagonistic toward those who follow Him. He points to the biblical account of Sodom, where violent men sought to harm Lot and the angels staying with him.
Today, Stone observes a similar spirit manifesting as attacks on churches, the destruction of Bibles and hostility toward Christians. When former believers or hardened sinners rise up in violence against the faithful, it signals that God’s judgment is near. This growing aggression against righteousness serves as a critical warning of the times.
4. A Global Outpouring of the Holy Spirit Led by Youth
Despite these troubling signs, Stone highlights a powerful and hopeful prophetic indicator—a worldwide move of God marked by a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This revival, prophesied in Joel and echoed by Peter in Acts, will be led largely by young people across all nations, including places where the gospel has struggled to penetrate.
Stone recalls historic revivals like Azusa Street and the Jesus Movement as previews of this final awakening. With 75% of Christians coming to faith before age 25, he stresses that reaching and empowering youth is vital to this last-day revival. He also notes vibrant church growth in parts of the world like Indonesia and Iran, pointing to a global readiness for the Spirit’s work.

A Sobering but Urgent Call
Perry Stone’s prophetic update is both a warning and an encouragement. He challenges believers to examine their hearts, repent if they have grown cold or distant and embrace the urgency of the times. With these signs converging rapidly, he urges preparation because the return of the Lord is drawing near.
