In the Bible, God has given us the full story of the Cosmos He created from “In the beginning God created”…. “to a new heaven and a new earth where only the righteous dwell for the old earth had passed away”.
The Bible is full of fulfilled prophesy which is testimony of its divine inspiration and inerrancy. It is estimated that as much as 75% of the 2,500 prophesies in the Bible have already been fulfilled, and most of those yet to happen are “last days/end time” events.
How many churches today are preparing their congregations for Jesus’ second coming? Do you realise that there are more prophecies about Jesus’ second coming than His first coming? The Pharisees and Sadducees did not get it with His first coming. They were focused on the 2000 prophecies of Jesus second coming as the triumphant king who would defeat all of Israel’s enemies. They could not see their Messiah coming first as given by Isaiah 53:4-5, “Surely,he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
It is us that need to be focused on the prophecies of Jesus second coming as it may be in our lifetime.
“For this reason, you also must beready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.” Matt. 24:44 Equipped with the knowledge of the Bible’s “last days” prophecies, we can see many of these events unfolding in our time. I write daily about them on this website.
Jesus almost made Sweden’s 2025 influencer of the year, and the Gen Z Christian uptick isn’t stopping, particularly among young men. For those of us that are watching Biblical end times prophecies playing out in our day with lawlessness abounding and persecution of Christians increasing it is great to read reports like this one.
According to the Swedish Pastoral Journal, Svensk Pastoraltidskrift (SPT), “The trend of increased membership is not something that only affects the Church of Sweden.” “Other churches in Sweden also testify to the increasing number of members, which is also the trend among many churches in Europe.” SPT called “the increasing number of members and the sustained interest in Jesus among youth and young adults positive news.”
Survey Reveals Gen Z Seeking Spiritual Answers in Jesus
SPT’s remarks are not mere opinion pulled from wishful thinking. Their assertions come from hard data sourced from the church, experts, and Sweden’s annual Youth Barometer report, “Ungdomsbarometern.”
The survey uses “open-text answers where young people responded to the question, ‘What will be the big trend for young people [next year] and why?’” Astonishingly, in 2024, that survey showed secularised Swedish youth placing Jesus third out of six in the lifestyle trends category predicted for 2025. The result reflects what the Pastoral Journal and SVT noted was an increase in curiosity about Christ.
On the continuing decline of the church, SVT was clear that it’s still happening. However, they said there is a very visible increase in active members. These are active numbers, the public broadcaster added, that haven’t been seen since the 1970s. Numbers-wise, Church of Sweden (Svenska Kyrkan) data showed that the gap between those leaving and joining had diminished significantly. 2025 registered the “most active entries ever,” the church reported in March. Driving the uptick is the Gen Z Jesus movement.
More and more “young people are choosing to be baptised in connection with their confirmation and thus become members.” Confirmations have “increased for the third year in a row.” Baptisms, too, are on the rise. It’s a trend, church officials determined, “that cannot be attributed solely to recovery after COVID.”
While the Youth Barometer (Ungdomsbarometern) doesn’t have an official “influencer of the year” category, the label fits. Johanna Göransson, the survey’s lifestyle expert, told Sweden’s public broadcaster, SVT, “It’s kind of exciting to turn to an authoritative person who can guide you.” “Our theory is this: [Jesus making the top 3] follows the logic of social media; it’s very person-driven.” “You’re used to listening to specific individuals. It feels like you’re projecting religion in the same way.”
Göransson added that young people view influencers as authorities who provide a context and confirmation on “what you should do to have a good life.” This includes advice on “what is right and wrong.” Christianity is “probably a nice solution for many who have a hard time navigating this self-help landscape,” she said. Swedish Pastoral Journal (SPT) drew on Professor Magnus Hagevi’s view that the evidence supports the Jesus trend theory.
Reversing Swedish Secularisation?
In an academic article called “Sacralisation after Secularisation”, Hagevi wrote, “secularisation [in Sweden] appears to have ended.” Gen Z are showing a clear break with secularisation in one of the most secularised nations on earth. Immigrants could be one explanation for the uptick, he said, because they’re typically coming from societies that aren’t secular. The Barometer’s findings don’t specify either way, and even if immigration’s included as a factor, foreign-born youth do not completely explain the Jesus trend. What the findings do prove without a doubt is that for Gen Z, faith in God is not declining. Whether the trend marks the “beginning of sacralisation,” Hagevi said, only time will tell.
SPT also pointed out that the 2025 Jesus trend didn’t make it into the Barometer’s 2026 “influencer” forecast. This wasn’t surprising, they stated. “Searching for Jesus and the Christian faith is more than a search for cultural heritage or a voice in the social debate.” Current statistics remain strong. They continue to show that the search for Christian faith among young people in Sweden is rising. The Ungdomsbarometern survey drew responses from 17,000 people aged between 15 and 24.
“Young people,” the summary concluded, “are balancing between extremes, being at the forefront of the digital landscape and a longing for balance and meaning beyond the connected.” Consequently, Gen Z are returning to religion and the search for meaning outside the dopamine-driven digital world.“1 in 10 identify as religious, and more are seeking deeper meaning through faith and community.” Put simply, Jesus Christ is the quintessential influencer. For Sweden’s tech-tired youth, he’s an increasingly popular one at that.
The Australian Federal Court ruled against Sally Grover in May, finding her guilty of discriminating against a biological man who identifies as a woman. This was after Grover refused to allow him onto Giggle, Grover’s women-only app. Clearly disappointed in the High Court decision, Pearse wrote, “Let me be plain about what this means, because the legal language can obscure the plain reality. “Under the law as it stands today, a woman can be found guilty of unlawful discrimination for maintaining a space exclusively for women.” In other words, “a law written in 1984 to protect women and girls is now being used against them.”
Pearse put the problem back on the government. Former Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard opened the door for the weaponisation of the Sex Discrimination Act in 2013. The change “removed the long-settled clear definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ and inserted ‘gender identity’ as a protected attribute.” That happened, Pearse said, “without properly safeguarding the single-sex spaces that generations of women have relied upon.” This is, she added, “precisely why yesterday’s decision matters so much.
“Every judicial avenue is now exhausted. “There is no higher court, no further appeal, no other case waiting in the wings.“The courts have interpreted the law. Only the lawmakers can change the Act.” Doing so, Pearse argued, “would restore it completely to its original purpose: to protect real women from discrimination. “Gender identity is legal fiction and should have never been legislated.” This isn’t advocating against the dignity of others, she concluded. It’s about asserting truth and affirming certainty. Likewise, Binary’s Kirralie Smith said the High Court’s refusal was a “devastating blow.”
“There are a great many comments online about the legality of such a decision and conflict as to what should or could be done. “The reality is,” Smith said, “only politicians can fix this mess now. “The court’s decision is frightening. It should put every single person on notice that our government has gone too far, has too much power and is entertaining punishing truth for the sake of ideology.” Echoing some of MacAlpine and Pearse’s sentiment, Smith warned, “Anyone who thinks it will stop with the enforcement of gender ideology is sadly mistaken.
“Without new legislation,” Grover said, “Australian discrimination law treats sex as changeable and ‘woman’ as a mixed-sex category any transitioned male can be included in.” “If the courts and government can lie about something as fundamental as the reality of human bodies, if they can punish people for non-compliance, do you really think they will stop there?”
This is nonsense. Thank goodness God’s Word reveals that the Biblical end times prophecies prior to Jesus second coming to Earth are playing out in our day, like birth pains they are increasing in frequency and intensity.
“As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him (Jesus) privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?… For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Matthew 24:4,7
There is no political Islam; no moderate Islam; no Islamism; no extremist militant Islamism; no Jihadism; no Wahhabism; no self-radicalised Islamism; no radical Islam; no radical Islamism. There is only Islam. Countless Islamic leaders and scholars have said so. Only Westerners come up with euphemisms to protect Islam as though the latter fictitious terms are something distinct from Islam.”
In order for the West to win this civilizational battle, it must: 1) Proudly and unequivocally defend Western values; 2) Reject cultural relativism and the unicornia vision of multiculturalism; 3) Recommit to individual dignity over the celebration of collective identity politics; 4) Recognise that all cultures are not equal; 5) Recognise that all religious beliefs are not equally consistent with Western values; 6) Recognise that all immigrants are not equally likely to assimilate and adopt Western values; 7) Recognise that immigrants who espouse intolerable values that seek to destroy our civilisation will be deported (en masse); 8) Implement a rational immigration policy that recognises the importance of cultural homophily (choosing immigrants who hail from cultures that possess similar values to those of the host nations); 9) Exhibit zero tolerance for seditious belief systems; such systems can be criminalised if they constitute an existential threat to our freedoms and liberties.”
“For the first time in recorded history, a civilisation has decided that the most enlightened virtue is to surrender its culture, heritage, women, and children without putting up any defence. Suicidal empathy shall prove to be the demise of the West.
Danny Burmawi is a Jordanian-born author, analyst, and public intellectual specializing in comparative religions, Theology, and Middle East Affairs. He is the founder and executive director of the Ideological Defense Institute (IDI), a U.S.-based research and public-education institute.
Born and raised in a Muslim family in Jordan, Burmawi converted to Christianity in 2007. As a result, he was forced to leave his home country and relocate to Lebanon, where he lived and worked for approximately fifteen years. During this period, he founded and led multiple Christian organizations across the Middle East, traveled to more than forty countries and delivered lectures, seminars, and training programs across the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Due to the sensitivity of his work, much of it was conducted under a low public profile. Danny says, “fear of Islam is the symptom of a healthy society that wants to survive. The less a society fears Islam, the faster it will vanish.” “I have lived in five different countries and visited over forty. I lived as a Muslim and I lived as a Christian. And after twenty years, one conclusion has become impossible to escape: Christian culture is superior to all others.”
Australian Taxpayers Gave $2.2 Billion to Left-Wing Lobby Groups. Among the groups collecting the funds were the Working with Women Alliance, which pushes free abortion via Medicare, Minus18 Foundation, which hosts “Queer Formals” for 12-year-olds, and Acon Health, which promotes “gender transition” treatments for children.
Australian governments funnelled $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds to left-leaning advocacy groups over five years, according to a new report from the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), with no equivalent funding identified for conservative groups. “They’re stacking the debate. They’re literally putting their thumbs on the scales,” IPA director of research Morgan Begg told independent reporter Topher Field, after his team searched for a taxpayer-funded advocacy group representing a conservative position on the same issues and found none.
The report, Stacking the Deck, examined 100 non-government organisations across five policy areas between the 2021 and 2025 financial years, drawing on filings submitted to the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission by the groups in question. State and federal governments handed them $2,237,280,125 combined.
In an interview with Field, Begg said the problem was not confined to any one side of politics but is a pattern that persists regardless of which party is in power. When governments provide extraordinary financial support lobbying itself on diversity, nanny state, co-governance, and green policies, it generates a false perception that debate on these issues is settled.
The Working with Women Alliance, which received almost $1.3 million in federal funding, has recommended full Medicare coverage for abortion, lowering the voting age to 16, and requiring all artificial intelligence funding to carry a “gendered lens,” according to the IPA.
The Cancer Council, which forms part of a network that attracted $373.7 million in public health funding, has told government inquiries that “health mis and disinformation” should become a “regulatory responsibility” of all levels of government, the report said.
Groups spruiking diversity and multiculturalism absorbed the largest share of the funding, more than $1 billion over five years, with recipients including LGBTIQ+ Health Australia ($34.4 million), Thorne Harbour Health ($70 million) and Multicultural Australia ($178 million).
Reconciliation Australia received $28.3 million between FY2021 and FY2025 to promote the Voice, treaty and related constitutional change. No group opposing the Voice received government funding.
On immigration, Refugee Legal and the Human Rights Law Centre received a combined $21.2 million to contest the deportation of unlawful migrants, while the report identified no funded organisation dedicated to enforcing immigration law.
The report states plainly that no equivalent funding exists for the other side of these debates: “Governments do not fund organisations whose core mission is to advocate for the biological realities of binary sex, against an Indigenous Voice or treaty, or for the removal of those residing in Australia unlawfully.”
A Wisconsin cathedral has installed what is believed to be the first trans-identifying dean in the history of The Episcopal Church.
The so called Very Rev. Micah Cronin, a woman who identifies as a man, took the helm of All Saints’ Cathedral in Milwaukee on Aug. 16, according to Episcopal News Service. The cathedral draws an average of just 70 worshippers on a given Sunday.
Cronin is married to a woman who goes by the Rev. Elias Henry, also a trans-identified pastor, who serves at The Corner House, a Lutheran, LGBT-affirming campus ministry at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Cronin laid out her story in an introductory email to the congregation last month: raised Methodist, she joined TEC at 19, the same year she decided to self-identify as trans.
“For clarification, this means that I was raised as a girl. For my whole adult life, I have been known and loved as myself — Micah,” wrote Cronin. “The churches I was raised in were not able to receive me as I am. But as a young person, I heard through the grapevine that the Episcopal Church would accept me.”
“I knew that no matter what I had to follow Jesus. The small Episcopal parish I walked into years ago made it possible for me to do that, through their kind, steadfast, gentle acceptance, and above all, their love.”
Cronin’s appointment lands amid a decades-long freefall for The Episcopal Church. Like most U.S. denominations, it’s bleeding members, and its progressive turn has driven much of the exodus.
When TEC consecrated the Rev. Gene Robinson as its first openly gay bishop in 2003, scores of congregations voted to leave in protest.
In 2010, the denomination reported that the number of active baptized members in their churches had dropped just below 2 million. By 2023, that number decreased to approximately 1.547 million people. The majority of these church goers will be left behind at the coming rapture of believers. God gives us a description of the church that is left behind in Revelation 3, the church of Laodicea.
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.? Revelation 3:15-19
Note that whilst they will be left behind to face the wrath of God they can still repent and be zealous for God by witnessing to others during the time God pours out His wrath with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. If they survive this time of one year and ten days they will live out their lives in Jesus Millennial Kingdom.

Professor Stuart Burgess, the author of the article from which this abbreviated version was taken claims the debate over creation and evolution is far from settled, with design, complexity, the origin of life and the fossil record raising enduring questions about a Creator.
Professor Stuart Burgess, B.Sc. (Eng.), Ph.D., C.Eng., FIMechE, excels in mechanical engineering, both in man-made devices and God’s design in nature. He has held academic posts at Bristol University, Cambridge University and Liberty University in the USA. At Bristol University he was appointed Head of Department three times between 2004 and 2011. He has worked for the European Space Agency (ESA) and was the lead designer for the solar array on the world’s largest civilian earth-observation spacecraft (Envisat); these gear systems are used on all the ESA’s large earth-observation satellites. For years, he led the design and testing of the chain drive for the British Olympic Track Cycling Team who won a record six gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and also ranked 1st in the 2021 (postponed due to Covid) and 2024 Olympic Games. He was invited to exhibit this work at the Royal Society (National Academy of Sciences) in the UK in 2017 where it received national publicity. He has published over 200 scientific papers on the science of design in engineering and nature.
A Royal Society lecture delivered by Steve Jones had an unusually blunt title – ‘Why creationism is wrong and evolution is right’. The purpose of the uncompromising title was, no doubt, to try to convince a sceptical public that evolution should be accepted as scientific truth.
A Mori poll for the BBC Horizon programme showed that only 48% of people in the UK believe the theory of evolution, and that 44% think that creationism should be taught in science classes.
But it is not just among the general public that you find a stubborn belief in a Creator. Many scientists and engineers who believe that there must be at least some involvement of a supernatural Creator to explain life on earth. Professor Stuart Burgess knows two biology professors who doubt many of the fundamental aspects of evolutionary theory, despite having to teach the theory to their students.
ORIGIN OF LIFE: Intelligent design arguably provides the only answer to one of the biggest questions of all – the origin of the very first living system. Despite intense efforts using sophisticated equipment, no one has been able to produce self-sustaining life from lifeless chemicals.
The result of the classic Miller experiment in 1953, which created some of the building blocks of life from ordinary chemicals, represents meagre progress. The fact that there has been no progress on this front during the last 50 years makes it very difficult to believe that life emerged by accident in the first place.
OVER DESIGN IN NATURE: Another compelling piece of evidence for intelligent design is the existence of over-design in nature. Evolutionary theory is based strictly on fitness for survival. However, many organisms have beauty and sophistication far beyond what is needed for them to survive.
Peacock display in sunlight, Sigiriya, Central province, Sri Lanka.
The brilliant peacock tail feathers, which produce their colours by optical interference, have a design of breath-taking precision. Yet their only function is to form an attractive display (and remember that most other birds get by without such optical displays!) The intricacy of peacock feathers, it is said, made Darwin feel sick when he looked at them.
FOSSIL EVIDENCE: Fossil evidence, like the recently publicised fish Tiktaalik roseae (supposedly a transition between fish and land animals), does little to convince for evolution. Such creatures were well designed for their particular environment – and the fact that they exhibit unusual combinations of features does not mean that they are necessarily ‘missing links’ between other kinds of creatures.
Only those already committed to a belief in evolution are forced to see them as evolutionary ‘links’ rather than well-designed creatures in their own right. Overall, the fossil record continues to provide more problems for evolution than support.
It is significant that many of the greatest scientists were enthusiastic believers in a Creator – including Isaac Newton, Lord Kelvin, James Clerk Maxwell and Michael Faraday. The last three of these scientists knew of the theory of evolution but believed in intelligent design and the biblical creation account. Anyone who believes in a Creator stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest scientists in history.
The current fashion of ruling out any role for God in origins actually breaks a fundamental principle of science – namely, to be open-minded about ideas before there is concrete proof that they are wrong. No one has proved that God had no role in origins.
Because the origin of life is an unrepeatable event, it will never be possible to prove how life came into existence. Even if evolution were to be taught in schools for the next 100 years, the majority of people would probably still instinctively believe in a Creator.
The flight made world headlines – And the unidentified passenger … was Jonathan!
If you want evidence that God and spiritual warfare is real you must watch this video. Jonathan reveals the true story, what really happened on that flight, with the man that is sitting next to Jonathan that ends up being duct taped to his seat. This was spiritual war in the heavenlies, a demonic manifestation, the strategy of the pre-emptor, the actual attack at 30,000 feet, and how behind it all was the enemy and The Altar of Pergamon! A stunning and shocking account and yet filled with spiritual revelation! This will blow your mind as it demonstrates that demonic possession is real and manifesting in our day.
Jonathan Cahn is a prophetic voice of his generation and is known for unlocking the deep mysteries and revelations of God’s Word. He leads Hope of the World, a worldwide ministry of outreach of God’s Word to all nations. Follow him and you will see his love and compassion to the world’s most needy.
Robert Hayes is 78 years old. For 37 years, he taught American history in Knoxville, Tennessee. He lived an ordinary life with his wife Martha, raised a family, went to church, taught his students, and never imagined that he would one day have a story that would change everything he believed about life, death, and America. Then, on a Tuesday afternoon in a Walmart parking lot, his heart stopped. There was no warning. No time to say goodbye. For 8 minutes and 42 seconds, Robert says he was gone. But according to his account, he wasn’t simply unconscious. He says he found himself somewhere beyond anything he had experienced before — and there he encountered Jesus Christ.
What happened next is the reason Robert finally decided to speak. He says Jesus showed him something about America that went far deeper than politics. He saw a nation divided by anger, fear, hatred, and resentment. He saw what he describes as a hidden “door” — something that had been concealed for generations — and he was shown what could happen when that door was finally broken open. Then came the part Robert says he has struggled to explain ever since: September 2026. He says he was shown a period of exposure, conflict, resistance, and enormous political tension — but the message wasn’t simply about Donald Trump. According to Robert, Trump was shown to him as an instrument, not a hero to worship and not an enemy to hate.
And Jesus’ warning was even more uncomfortable: America’s greatest test would not be what happens to one politician. It would be what Americans do to one another when everything becomes chaotic. Will people use the coming division as another reason to hate their neighbours? Or will they finally recognize what is happening beneath the political noise? Robert says the message he received was ultimately about faith, prayer, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and love for your neighbour. And there was one final instruction he says Jesus gave him before sending him back. A message Robert believes every American needs to hear before September arrives.
This powerful Christian Near Death Experience (NDE) story explores: • Robert’s death and the 8 minutes and 42 seconds he says he spent without a pulse • His extraordinary encounter with Jesus Christ • What he says he was shown about America • The mysterious “door” he says was being opened • What he believes September 2026 could represent • The unexpected role he says he was shown regarding Donald Trump • The warning to both Trump supporters and opponents • Why political hatred may be distracting Americans from a deeper spiritual battle • And the final message Robert says Jesus gave him before he returned to his body Watch until the end, because Robert’s final message isn’t really about Trump. It’s about you. It’s about what happens when political disagreement becomes hatred — and whether Americans will choose division or love when the pressure becomes unbearable. Important: This video is presented as a dramatic Christian near-death-experience narrative for storytelling, faith, and reflection. Its message is authentic and worth sharing.
