FRANKLIN GRAHAM “GOD LOVES YOU TOUR”

“More than 10,000 people gathered in Manchester to worship and hear a gospel message preached by Franklin Graham. The evangelist said in a post on X that “hundreds responded to the invitation to repent and receive Jesus Christ by faith” at the Co-Op Live on Saturday. Christians from across the northwest and further afield came with their churches, friends and neighbours to the God Loves You Tour, organised by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Graham told those in attendance that lasting hope and purpose can only be found in a personal relationship with Jesus, urging them to consider whether they had put their faith in Christ. He asked: “Are you ready to stand before God? Are you ready to give an account to Him? The Bible says it’s appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Note this verse refers to Jesus second coming to save those eagerly waiting for Him. Are you eagerly waiting for Him? You should be as the many Biblical end times prophecies are manifesting in our day.

“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”

The evangelist drew upon the Genesis account of Lot leaving Sodom, suggesting that some in the audience may feel the same way about being surrounded by sin and misery. But Graham said that “God is offering you forgiveness. He’s offering you cleansing. He’s offering you a new life, a new beginning through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. But you’ve got to choose.”

He ended with a call for those who had not previously put their trust in the Lord to come forward and do so. I am disappointed that He made no reference to Jesus second coming and that time is short to get on with the job God has called each one of us to do: to save the lost.

Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Are you ready to serve our Lord for the next thousand years on this Earth. It is not the new Earth where only the righteous dwell. Even though Satan is bound for most of the time, he is released by God at the end of the thousand years and is still able to raise an enormous army, like the sand of the sea to come against Jesus and the Saints.

“And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,“ Revelation 20:9

NEXT ON THE BIBLICAL END TIMES TIMELINE: TURKEY EXERTS DOMINANCE OVER IRAN

Turkey has global ambitions, and it’s not taking sides. It’s maintaining links with Western allies while forging ties with other regional powers, especially in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. From military cooperation to cultural outreach and diplomacy, we look at how Turkey balances cooperation and competition to grow its international status.

Daniel first sees Iran (Ram of Daniel8) taking control of Muslim nations westward, southward and northward with its proxies: Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthi forces in Yemen, Iraqi militias in Iraq, Syrian armed forces in Syria. These groups are part of Iran’s extensive proxy network, often referred to as the Axis of Resistance/Evil..

“I was in Susa the citadel, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was at the Ulai canal. I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram (Iran) standing on the bank of the canal. It had two horns, and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward. No beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.” Daniel 8:2-4

Next Daniel sees Turkey (Goat of Daniel 8) takeover Iran’s position of power and become exceedingly great. But his time is short lived and I suspect the UN would not want to see Turkey establish a new Ottoman Empire and so they break it up into four nations out of which the Antichrist arises. We have been warned by God in advance and can use these fulfilled prophecies to convince unbelievers that the Bible is true and offers the only hope for future life on God’s planet. Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. To get prepared go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

“As I was considering, behold, a male goat (Turkey) came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.: Daniel 8:5-8

ETERNITY TRUCK: STEVE GRACE’S MISSION RIG

Steve Grace’s Eternity Truck is bringing music and the Gospel beyond church walls, taking a mobile concert stage to remote communities and country towns. This is great news. Make sure you pass it on.

“Aussies are more likely to go to a football field to hear the Gospel than sit in a pew,” says Steve Grace.

His new Eternity Truck will meet that need head-on. The iconic Australian musician’s Mack truck and a trailer that transforms into a stage are mobilising a decade-long missionary vision. Steve told The Daily Declaration that the big black rig will “facilitate outdoor events.” This will be “less about Steve Grace, more associated with bringing hope to hurting towns, pumping out the Gospel and good music.” He’s even been gifted a quality used PA system, “donated by a mate in South Australia.” Still a work in progress, aside from an equipment pod, lighting gear and a new paint job, most of the rig is ready.

Steve Grace has been a pioneer in Australian Christian music since the 1980’s. He has released countless songs and albums, won many music awards and for years has done the hard yards of touring Australian outback Towns and communities.

For many recent years he has had the big dream to build the Eternity Truck and take to the road again with the Gospel and music to encourage Aussie hearts and faith. This Eternity Rig will be able to set up and play a concert anywhere people can gather and share the good news of hope for everyone.

GOD IS REGATHERING HIS NATION BACK TO ITS LAND

I am a regular follower of Rabbi Pesach Wolicki to get the best updates on what is happening to Israel in relation to Biblical prophecy. This video looks at the end times prophecy of Zechariah 14, “The Coming Day of Our Lord”.

Why of all the Jewish Festivals is it that all the nations of the world must come to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot, The Feast of Tabernacles? During Jesus Millennial reign it is a command and if the leaders of nations do not come there is no rain on their land. Many Christians understand the call and for many years have been gathering in Jerusalem on Sukkot.

As shown in this picture nations from all over the world gathered in Jerusalem in 2019 to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles as God commands in Zechariah. The Jews are amazed at the size of the gathering.

The nations of the world are being tested by our Lord. How will they react to the Lord regathering the Jews back to their land. Are you on the side of the God of Israel. Sadly, Australia has chosen badly and will be judged accordingly.

BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES UNFOLDING IN OUR DAY

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is the Executive Director of Israel365 Action and the author of Verses for Zion and Cup of Salvation: A Powerful Journey Through King David’s Psalms of Praise.

I love this guy. His explanation in this video of Zechariah 14 is challenging and worth your time. There is no doubt that we are in the end times. It is so obvious as you listen to Wolicki that the many Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. The regathering of the Jews back to Israel which is intensifying as the persecution of Jews escalates around the world is the obvious Biblical end times prophecy playing out in our day.. For the first time there are more Jews in their land now than scattered around the world.

THE COMING EZEKIEL 38 GOG OF MAGOG WAR

In this update, Nelson Walters examines how the recent mutual defence agreement between Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and potentially Iran creates a new superpower that pushes the United States to the side-lines and sets the stage for the Ezekiel Gog of Magog war.

Just as the Bible predicts, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East just shifted in a way that defies conventional logic—but aligns perfectly with ancient prophecy. Iran has been offered a seat at the “Mecca Pact” table, a move that could effectively end the current conflict with the USA and Israel while simultaneously assembling the coalition described in Ezekiel 38, and Revelation 17:12. Iran is yet to accept a seat at the “Mecca Pact” table so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

JOHNATHAN CAHN EXPLAINS HOW THE O.T. is A TEMPLATE FOR THE N.T.

The 2,000 year old mystery of the missing Kippur, the Temple, the prophecy of Daniel, the Ark of the Covenant, the Derekh (Derekh (דֶּרֶךְ) — The Way God Leads Us), the wandering of the Jewish people, the Scarlet cord of the Rabbis, the centre of everything and more! Plus the Yom Kippur, Celebration with the Ark of the Covenant. Jonathan Cahn always does a good job of showing how God uses Scripture to foretell events unfolding in our time. Make the time to watch this video, you will learn much and hence be glad you did.

MARX REVEALS THE SOURCE OF HIS INSPIRATION – “SEE THIS SWORD THE PRINCE OF DARKENESS SOLD IT TO ME”

In his 1841 poem “The Player” (also translated as “The Fiddler”), Karl Marx writes, “Look now, my blood-dark sword shall stab/Unerringly within thy soul./God neither knows nor honors art./The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain/Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.” He continues, “See this sword—the Prince of Darkness sold it to me,” and, “Ever more boldly I play the dance of death.”

Karl Marx monument by Soviet sculptor Lev Kerbel in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. The head is 7m high, made of bronze and erected in 1971. Behind Marx there’s a huge frieze exhorting ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ in several languages.

An analysis of the above poem from biographer Robert Payne, in his 1968 book “Marx,” states, “Marx is here celebrating a satanic mystery, for the player is clearly Lucifer or Mephistopheles [a Faustian devil], and what he is playing with such frenzy is the music which accompanies the end of the world.”

He continues, “Marx clearly enjoyed the horrors he depicted, and we shall find him enjoying in very much the same way the destruction of whole classes in the ‘Communist Manifesto.’ He was a man with a peculiar faculty for relishing disaster.”

“There can be very little doubt that those interminable stories were autobiographical,” wrote Payne. “[Marx] had the Devil’s view of the world, and the Devil’s malignity. Sometimes he seemed to know that he was accomplishing works of evil.”

However bizarre Marx’s early writings were, his stated claims and goals were not far from the reality of what he created: a system that in a single century took an unprecedented number of lives. Estimates vary, but according to combined research from historians, including Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jung Chang, and Jon Halliday, and numbers collected by “The Black Book of Communism,” published by Harvard University Press in 1999, the number is close to 150 million deaths.

THE APOSTATE CHURCH PROPHESIED PRIOR TO JESUS SECOND COMING

The Archbishop of Canterbury presented Hafiz Ashrafi with an award for Reconciliation and Interfaith Cooperation. It’s a special award for people who do outstanding work building bridges between people of different faiths. Ashrafi is the chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council — a group of high-ranking Islamic scholars.

Why would the Church of England give one of Pakistan’s most eminent Islamic scholars such an award? Was it because in 2007, as reported in The Guardian, he…

“ … had decided to honour Osama bin Laden. He is to be given the title of Saifullah, or Sword of God.”

Or perhaps Ashrafi was given the reconciliation award because in 2013 he was reported as saying that…

“ … suicide attacks in Afghanistan are lawful because NATO troops are invaders that have occupied the country.”

Ashrafi later said he had been taken out of context, claiming that suicide bombings were un-Islamic but that he could understand why Afghans were fighting back. Or maybe Ashrafi was given the award for interfaith reconciliation out of deep appreciation for his support, in 2014…

“… of Islamic blasphemy laws that condemn people to death if they insult Muhammad or disrespect the Koran.”

Afterall, nothing says I’m a leader when it comes to co-operating with other faiths than… if you disrespect us, you’ll be put to death.

The good news is that the Archbishop of Canterbury has withdrawn the award. Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi received the award for reconciliation and interfaith cooperation from Dame Sarah Mullally last week, on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Lambeth Palace faced a backlash after it emerged Ashrafi praised Bin Laden – the architect of the 2001 attacks – as someone who had “been fighting for Islam against the Russians, Americans and British”, in comments from 2007. Ashrafi also reportedly said he would give Bin Laden the title Saifullah, which means “Sword of God”. He told the BBC his remarks had been “totally taken out of context”.

Lambeth Palace now says “comments made by Imam Ashrafi have come to light that have led (us) to reconsider this award and we can now confirm that the award has been withdrawn”.

Is it any wonder why the Global Anglicans (GAFCON) have formally resolved to withdraw from the Anglican Communion.

WHY WORSHIP GOD

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” Psalm 95:6

Psalm 95 begins as a shout of joyful praise — ‘Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation’ — and then shifts in verse 6 to a different posture: kneeling, bowing. The movement from celebration to reverence is not contradiction; it is the full arc of authentic worship. You cannot indefinitely sustain only one or the other.

‘Bow down’ — kāraʿ — to kneel, to bend at the knee, used for submission before royalty. ‘Worship’ — shāḥāh — to bow down, to prostrate oneself in reverence. ‘Our Maker’ — ʿōśēnû — the one who made us, the creator to whom we owe existence. The basis for kneeling is not fear of punishment but the recognition of who he is and who we are in relation to him. The psalm then pivots to warning: don’t harden your hearts as at Meribah. The first act of disobedience in the wilderness was a failure of trust; the pathway to it was a hardened heart. Worship — genuine, reverent, consistent — keeps the heart soft.

Worship is the expression of love, reverence, and surrender toward God. It’s not limited to singing or praying—those are just forms of it. At its core, worship is about orientation: turning your heart, mind, and life toward the One you believe is worthy.

Humans are wired for worship. We all place something at the center of our lives—career, relationships, pleasure, money, status. Worshiping God is choosing to center life on something eternal, unchanging, and greater than ourselves.

Worship, then, is not just about God’s worthiness—it’s about our need for meaning, grounding, and direction.

The essence of worship

  • Recognition of God — acknowledging God’s character: holy, loving, just, powerful.
  • Response to God — gratitude, obedience, trust, praise.
  • Relationship with God — worship is relational, not mechanical.
  • Alignment of life — living in a way that reflects God’s values.

Worship is both internal (heart, mind, affection) and external (actions, words, choices).

God is the ultimate reality—the Creator, Sustainer, and moral centre of the universe. Worship is a natural response to greatness.

People worship because they feel thankful: for life, forgiveness, guidance, hope, or simply God’s presence.

Worship is often described as an act of love. “We love because He first loved us” is a common Christian framing.

Worship shapes character. It reorients priorities, calms the mind, strengthens resilience, and fosters humility.

Many scriptures command worship—not as domination, but as a path to flourishing. Worship aligns people with what is believed to be ultimate truth.

Humans naturally give their devotion to something—success, relationships, pleasure, power. Worshiping God is choosing who or what defines you.

Worship is a Lifestyle:

Prayer — conversation with God

Service — helping others

Obedience — living according to God’s teachings

Praise — spoken or sung adoration

Sacrifice — giving up something valuable for a higher purpose

Daily choices — integrity, compassion, forgiveness
