OVER 7,750 BAPTISED AT HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Posted on by

More than 7,750 people were baptized in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday, an event organizers say marked the largest single-day baptism in American history.

Hosted by Oceans Church and led by Pastor Mark Francey,  “Baptise California” drew approximately 30,000 attendees from more than 300 churches across the state. Participants of all ages publicly professed their faith through baptisms in the ocean or portable baptisteries positioned along the beach.

“You were part of the largest water baptism in American history,” Francey told the crowd. “Who thinks that God could do it in the other states of America?”

The mass baptism, now in its second year, exceeded last year’s turnout of 6,000 and is seen by organizers as a spiritual catalyst for an even larger national event planned for next month. Called “Baptize America,” the initiative aims to unite thousands of churches across the United States in what is described as “the largest synchronized baptism in history.”

The next event will be held on June 8 and falls on Pentecost Sunday, a date that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles in the Christian tradition. Organizers believe the timing is symbolic and strategic, pointing to revival and national spiritual renewal.

The Baptise America campaign seeks to unite churches from diverse backgrounds around a common theological practice: the public declaration of faith through water baptism. Its website states, “This is not about any single church. It’s about united churches across the nation, pursuing the Great Commission’s fulfilment.”

IT’S DNA DAY – DNA IS A COMPLEX LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION SYSTEM

Posted on by

March 6th was National DNA Day in the US because on this day in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick (both atheists) discovered the helical structure of DNA, opening up countless new avenues of research into the complex instruction manual in each of your cells (DNA is a language system and it’s incredibly complex!). And what’s really exciting is that creation scientists are leading the way in new DNA research!

Watson and Crick thought their discovery would prove life wasn’t created—but research has shown the opposite, as DNA is a complex language and information system.

Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, one of AIG’s research scientists, has published ground breaking research on the human genome—research that’s only possible because he starts with the biblical timescale of only thousands of years. It’s absolutely fascinating what he’s been able to unravel about human history from the “stamps” in the male-inherited DNA. (You can learn about that research in this article or more fully in this fascinating book).

In honour of National DNA Day, Dr. Jeanson released a short video featuring just a small fraction of his research. You can watch that here:

GOD JUST WANTS US TO BE AVAILABLE

Posted on by

When Moses stood before the burning bush, his simple response – “Here I am” (Exodus 3:4)- wasn’t about location. It was about readiness, availability and willingness. Like Samuel, Isaiah, and so many who’ve answered God’s call, it wasn’t about having all the answers but simply saying yes.

When God called Moses, He knew Moses didn’t feel equipped. “I am slow of speech”, Moses protested. But God replied, “Who gave human beings their mouths?” (Exodus 4:11)

God wasn’t looking for perfection. He was looking for obedience. We all have something “in our hands” that God can use. What is the gift God has given you? Is it the ability to speak, write, encourage, give finances, or leadership skills in your community, workplace, or online skills?

The point isn’t what you have. The point is that you make it available to the Lord.

TURKEY IN BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECY

Posted on by

The Ottoman Empire, also known as the Turkish Empire, began more than 700 years ago, eventually controlling Southeast Europe as well as parts of West Asia, North Africa and the Middle East up to the early 20th century. After World War I, the Allied powers partitioned the Ottoman Empire, including what the British then called Palestine.

Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Middle East Expert at the Moshe Dayan Centre for Middle Eastern and African Studies, says that December’s fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad opened the door for Erdogan, the president of Turkey to implement his goal of reviving an empire beginning with Syria. “We all witnessed that since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, the Turkish president did all he could to support the Syrian opposition. And he sees the current Syrian administration as his core ally. By providing some civilian services like paving the roads, railways, providing radar, and repairing airports and other facilities, Turkey is creating here a very important dependency from the Syrian side,” Yanarocak explained. He adds that Turkey is the only country declaring an intention to build up the new Syrian army, which the US has demanded that it destroy its chemical weapons and renounce terrorism.

On paper, Israel and Turkey have shared diplomatic relations since 1949, although Erdogan’s recent moves put that at risk. “The Turkish president, at the end of the Muslim Eid el-Fitr celebrations, he wished for the destruction of Israel. And for Israel, especially after October the 7th, you know, we cannot tolerate some future threats,” he said. Since the Assad regime fell, Israel has bombed weapons stockpiles and strategic military locations while establishing a buffer zone along its border with Syria.  Israel is concerned both with those who control Syria and with Turkey’s involvement. “They are already building governmental facilities to show sovereignty in the Syrian land as well. You see Turkey building post offices, Turkish post offices, banks, Turkish banks that are using Turkish currency, and schools,” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told CBN News. Haskel says Israel has two priorities regarding Syria: the safety of Israel and the protection of minorities, including the Christians, Druze, and Kurds. Then there’s Turkey.

“Turkey is a great concern in what is happening in Syria now, not just that we need to hear their declarations and their speeches of their leadership. And that’s really concerning – in particular, statements concerning this force in regard to Jerusalem. There are declarations which are a red line in regard to Israel, but it shows their intention,” Haskel said. Haskel adds that intention goes beyond Israel. “I think that after what had happened in Syria, they feel like they’re on a high horse. But that should be a great concern to all the neighbouring countries around,” she added.  President Trump recently offered to smooth out any difficulties between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Erdogan. “Any problem that you have with Turkey, I think I can solve, I mean as long as you are reasonable. You have to be reasonable. We have to be reasonable,” Trump said in a statement. Yanarocak says it’s also the first time the US could have access to Syria, which used to be under Russia’s thumb and is now being influenced by Turkey, a NATO member.

Biblical prophecy reveals in Daniel 8 that Turkey (the Goat and Sunni) puts down Iran (the Ram and Shia) in its attempt to re-establish a revived Ottoman Empire. However, we are also told that it is broken up into four, probably by the United Nations, which would not countenance the re-establishment of an Ottoman Empire that once threatened the world.

“And the goat (Turkey) had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram (Iran) with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath... 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

We are also told the little horn (Antichrist) comes out of one of these Muslim nations. God has given us this information, so we should use it in our efforts to evangelise unbelievers.

“Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven.” Daniel 8:9-10

TURKEY’S NEO-OTTOMAN REVIVAL AND BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES

Posted on by

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has revived Turkey’s Islamic identity. Public expressions of Islam are once again widespread, and the state increasingly invokes Ottoman imagery and imperial nostalgia. Erdoğan has even referenced aspirations toward leadership in the Muslim world, echoing the role the Ottomans once held. The transformation of Hagia Sophia from a museum into a mosque in 2020 was a watershed moment, seen by many as symbolic of Turkey’s return to its Islamic imperial roots.

The 20th century bore witness to two world wars initiated by Germany and its allies, which unleashed unparalleled destruction upon the Judeo-Christian world.

Behind these political upheavals lies a deeper, spiritual dimension, seen through prophetic Scripture and ancient symbols like the Seat of Pergamum, which some theologians associate with satanic opposition to God’s kingdom on earth.

One of the most chilling spiritual symbols associated with Germany’s role in these conflicts is the Pergamum Altar, often referred to by theologians as “the Seat of Satan.”

In Revelation 2:12-13, Jesus says to the church in Pergamum: “I know where you live — where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name…”

Pergamum, an ancient city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), was a centre of pagan worship and imperial cult. The Great Altar of Pergamum, built in the 2nd century BC, was dedicated to Zeus and stood as a monument to idolatry and emperor worship.

In the late 19th century, German archaeologists dismantled this altar and transported it to Berlin, where it was reconstructed in the Pergamon Museum. Some Christian scholars and intercessors believe that this relocation was more than coincidental — that Germany had, quite literally, brought the “throne of Satan” into its heart.

The timing is striking: within a few decades, Germany became the epicentre of unprecedented evil, culminating in the Holocaust and a world war that left tens of millions dead.

Adolf Hitler even delivered some of his most infamous speeches on a stage modelled after the Pergamum altar during Nazi rallies in Nuremberg. The resemblance is undeniable — and disturbing.

Could this altar be more than symbolic? Could it represent a spiritual stronghold — one that moved from Pergamum to Berlin, and which now seeks another seat?

Turkish politicians, including the mayor of the city of Izmir near the excavation site, have called for the altar’s return. In 2022, Saraya Gomis, Berlin’s state secretary for diversity and anti-discrimination at the time, weighed in to support returning the altar, as well as the Nefertiti bust.

Erdoğan’s revival of Ottoman identity involves more than cultural pride. He seeks to reclaim influence across former Ottoman territories — Syria, the Balkans, North Africa, and even Jerusalem. He speaks of the Muslim ummah (community) and positions himself as a protector of Islam globally.

This aligns ominously with Ezekiel 38–39, where Turkey (often identified with “Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah”) is part of a northern confederacy that comes against Israel. This war, led by “Gog of Magog,” is interpreted by many Christians as a major prophetic event that precedes Christ’s return.

The spirit behind such ambitions — whether Nazi fascism or Islamic imperialism — may be the same: the spirit of antichrist that seeks to replace God’s authority, oppress His people, and erect a counterfeit kingdom on the earth.

Watch to see how this unfolds. Will the Seat of Satan (Pergamum Altar) be returned to Turkey?

CHINA: AMERICA’S AGGRESSIVE, ESCALATING ADVERSARY

Posted on by

“If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” declared the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), in a statement reposted Tuesday by the Chinese Embassy.

President Donald Trump has engaged the CCP in a punishing spiral of escalating tariffs, which have now exceeded 100% in both directions. But the conflict is not limited to trade, as tensions grow between the U.S. and China on numerous diplomatic and military fault lines.

Taiwan produces over 60% of the world’s semiconductors and over 90% of the most advanced ones used for AI. While it makes the chips, most are designed and owned by U.S. companies. The U.S. government’s ban on the sale of these chips to China increases China’s likelihood of attacking Taiwan.

What part does China play in the Biblical end times before Jesus’ return to earth to rescue Israel and destroy the Antichrist armies that demonic spirits gather from all over the world?

“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.” Revelation 16:12-14

This scripture tells us that armies come from the east and the rest of the world. This would definitely include the Muslim nations in the east, but it could also include China, but we are not told. China and most of the Western countries of the world are not mentioned specifically in the scripture of Biblical end-times.

Jerusalem is often referred to as the city chosen by God for His dwelling. In 1 Kings 11:36, God declares, “I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put My Name.” This divine selection underscores Jerusalem’s unique status as a spiritual centre for Israel and a symbol of God’s presence among His people, and it is central to Biblical end-times prophecies.

“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” Zechariah 12:2-3

Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. If you want to know what is coming next, watch this space and keep watch on what is happening to Israel and Jerusalem.

WHY JESUS NEEDS TO RETURN NOW

Posted on by

For the first time in human history, man can tamper with his DNA under the guise of advancing evolution. Man sees himself as the captain of his destiny, able to cure diseases, overcome human limitations, and even overcome death. Rather than live with the image of God which he has and receive the cure for his fallen state, man would prefer to pretend God does not exist and attempt his own cure. Even the difference between the sexes is no longer considered God-given.

Evolutionists believe they are rapidly advancing evolution by manipulating DNA. Once man corrupts his image with animals (chimera) and demons, which happened in Noah’s day, God will step in once again and pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world. God’s Word reveals that this is exactly what will happen when God pours out His wrath with the Trumpet (Revelation 8) and Bowl (Revelation 16) judgments.

Satan’s plan may well include persuading or even forcing mankind to change its genetic make-up, forsaking the image of the one who created us. This may be what it means to take the “mark of the Beast”. Could technology allow Satan to produce a hybrid from his own seed as Genesis 3:15 predicts? Numerous reports that alien abductees had their seed harvested to create a hybrid alien/human race supports this hypothesis.

The transhumanism (posthumanism) movement is all about going beyond being human and evolving into superhumans. Thank goodness God has told us what He allows Satan to do in advance, so we can be prepared and get in step with what He has called us to do.

PROVING THE HISTORICAL JESUS

Posted on by

Josh Timonen’s testimony is so different from mine, which is why it was so interesting. His focus is entirely on proving the historical Jesus. It shows how a man who spent much of his life rejecting the idea of God became a faithful follower of Christ. Hear Josh’s story of how hearing the message of Jesus and the historical facts that back it up brought him into the family of God. Today, he works to help others come to know Jesus, just as he did.

My problem with believing in the Bible and the gospel was evolution. I studied science at Sydney University in Australia, which taught evolution as fact. I was 45 and General Manager at Abbott Laboratories when I attended a Creation Ministries International (http://www.creation.com) conference. I only went because Professor John Rendell Short, the Professor of Paediatrics at Brisbane University, was Chairman of CMI and on the program. I knew the man as he was evaluating a product for Abbott Laboratories’ Paediatric Division. Ross Laboratories and he was brilliant. At the conference, they showed a video by Dr Dean Kenyon, who was Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University. He had written two evolutionary biochemistry textbooks, but now he was saying that the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. DNA is complex information that controls all the functions of each cell and the organism. The electron microscope reveals complex machinery and transport devices in cells that are regulated by the information on the DNA. Information is not matter or energy, and its source is intelligence. Moreover, there is no way this complexity could have evolved; it had to be correct and in place. I came away from the conference so annoyed with myself and the educational establishment that teaches evolution and millions of years.

TRANSHUMANISM IS AN END TIMES SIGN

Posted on by

Time Magazine, in December of 1997, reported on Dr. Richard Seed, a physicist from Chicago who became well known for his announcement of plans to start human cloning. He declared: God intended for man to become one with God. We are going to have to have almost as much knowledge and as much power as God. Cloning and the reprogramming of DNA are the first serious steps in becoming one with God (National Public Radio). Seed’s words are not intended in any Biblical sense but to declare that we too will become as God – that we can be our own Gods. A week later, Seed elaborated in an interview on CNN, “Man will develop the technology and the science and the capability to have an indefinite lifespan. Eleven years later, he would make an even more radical statement; whereas his first statement was that we would become like God, his later statement was to become a God. ” We are going to become God’s, period. If you do not like it, get off. You do not have to contribute, you do not have to participate, but if you are going to interfere with me becoming a God, you are going to have trouble. There will be warfare. Seed’s words are not just isolated, radical ideas but part of the much larger and well-funded movement known as transhumanism (or posthumanism). While probably most in it would not proclaim that they want to become gods, the goal is the same. They are playing with the human source code in ways that are extremely dangerous. Biblical transhumanist researcher Dr John P. McTernan states, “Evolution detaches man from his creator and being created in God’s image and likeness. Man is now a free agent to tamper with his DNA under the guise of advancing evolution. Man sees himself as the captain of his own destiny. He is going to overcome death, disease, and human limitations. The only problem with this is that man is not the captain of his destiny. God is in control, and Biblical prophecy gives us the end of the story. God has given us 2000 prophecies of Jesus’ return and His coming Millennial Kingdom, and we may already be living in the last seven years before He returns.

BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES: WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS

Posted on by

“And when you hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Mark 13:7 and Matthew 23:6

Pakistan said it shot down an Indian spy drone in its airspace yesterday. The incident, which India has not confirmed, marks the latest escalation following a deadly attack last week in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir.

On April 22, at least four gunmen killed 26 people, most of them Indian tourists, in the resort town of Pahalgam. India says at least two of the assailants were Pakistani citizens and blames Islamabad for supporting separatist violence. Pakistan denies association with the gunmen.

Since the attack, the countries have downgraded diplomatic relations. India suspended a key water treaty enabling Pakistan to access 80% of the water it uses for irrigation and launched a test missile over the weekend. Pakistan closed its airspace to India and has threatened a nuclear response if India attacks.

India and Pakistan have fought three wars over the mountainous region of Kashmir since the two countries were partitioned from former British India in 1947
