WATCH: End-Time Signs of the Coming Great Day
“Now the Spirit clearly says that in the last times some will depart from the faith and pay attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared with a hot iron” ( 1 Tim. 4:1-2).
There are many who are sounding the call to the days we live in, days of apostasy and turning away from the Word of God.
One voice, Joseph Z, is working to point out to as many as possible of the very clear signs being given that are indicative of the buildup for the end times.

Kathryn Krick: Stunning Testimony of Ministry Explosion
Kathryn Krick revealed her stunning testimony of how her ministry exploded into something much bigger and greater than she ever expected.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, Krick shared how after experiencing the glory and power of God in her mid-twenties, the plans she had for her life were radically altered. Committing her life to God, Kathryn received a prophetic word that she was supposed to become an apostle of Jesus Christ. It was prophesied that through her, God would perform many mighty miracles throughout the nations.
Taking this prophecy and the belief that “revival is now,” Kathryn eventually embarked on starting Five-Fold Church. However, instead of the church rapidly growing, things started going backwards. On New Year’s Eve of 2020, Krick put together a compilation video of God moving through her tiny church and posted it on TikTok. The response led to an explosion of miracles and healings.
The ‘Butcher of Tehran’ Is Dead—and Iran’s Church Keeps Growing
The president of Iran is dead. Ebrahim Raisi, also known by millions of Iranians as “the butcher of Tehran” because of his record of brutality, was killed in a helicopter crash on May 19 in eastern Iran.
The next day in New York, members of the United Nations Security Council stood for a moment of silence to honor Raisi, who was 63. Meanwhile in Iran, common people shared candies and danced in the streets because they hated this man who was responsible for the deaths of thousands.
When I saw video footage of the celebrations, I was reminded of a curious verse in the book of Proverbs that seems to give us permission to gloat when a wicked leader is served justice. Proverbs 11:10 (NASB 1995) says: “When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.”
The Most Misunderstood Verse in the Bible
If you had to choose one verse to call the most misunderstood verse in the Bible, I believe a strong case could be made that Ephesians 5:22 is that verse. Speaking of submission, it says, “wives to your own husbands as to the Lord” (Eph. 5:22, TLV).
If you don’t believe me, just do a Google search, and you will find a plethora of Bible teachers using this verse as a baton to beat down women who refuse to become servants and slaves to domineering husbands who use it to justify their roles as domestic abusers. Forget the fact that just one verse before this verse we read: “Also submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Messiah” (Eph. 5:21).
This section of Scripture actually begins with the instruction for husbands and wives to submit to each other. It goes on to instruct wives to submit to their own husbands, as opposed to submitting to all men. Unfortunately, for those who want to use this verse to force women to obey and subjugate themselves to their husband’s complete rule and reign, the text doesn’t stop there. It continues with a qualifier for this submission:
Revival Is Stirring as ‘Hundreds and Hundreds’ Get Baptized in Texas Fountain
