TIMELINE FOR THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS

God allows the Antichrist 1260 Days. What is the Timeline of events in those challenging 42 months of the Great Tribulation? Why does God allow this? What are God’s purposes? This amazing Nelson Walters video tracks the Great Tribulation event by event. He reveals that God raptures His Saints before He pours out His wrath upon the earth with the Trumpet (Revelation 8:6) and Bowl judgments (Revelation 16:1). God protects his Saints from judgement, His wrath, but not from tribulation, which purifies His church. The seven seals and the seven churches reveal what God is doing in the last seven years (70 weeks of years – Daniel 9:24) before Jesus returns to earth to defeat the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19:11). It is at the sixth seal, at the end of the sixth year that the celestial signs appear in the heavens that precede the rapture (Rev. 6:12-14 and Joel 3:14). Likewise it is the sixth church, the church of Philadelphia that is raptured. It is evident from Scripture that the church of Laodicea is the church that is left behind to face the wrath of God.

CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA: “I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name… Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.Revelation 3:8,10

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 realising 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. They still have the opportunity to repent, and I am sure many will. They will be great witnesses for Jesus Christ during the time God pours out His wrath upon the earth for one year and ten days. It is the same time, He poured out His wrath upon the earth with Noah’s Flood.

IS THE CHURCH READY FOR WHAT COMES NEXT?

In this gripping episode of Directed Life, Kap Chatfield sits down with evangelist and end-times scholar Tiff Shuttlesworth for a prophetic conversation on Bible prophecy, Israel, deception in the Church, and the urgency of the hour. Tiff unpacks how global chaos, rising antisemitism, transhumanism, and misinformation are all aligning with biblical prophecy. From the significance of Israel’s rebirth to the role of deception in the rise of the Antichrist, this episode is a wake-up call to the Church: it’s time to get rooted in truth and prepared for what’s coming. This isn’t fearmongering, it’s a faith-filled call to clarity, conviction, and commitment. Whether you’re curious, confused, or confident about the end times, you need this conversation.

A CIVIL WAR IS BREWING IN THE USA

America is deeply divided, yet there is no single conflict at the core of the discord. Instead, an ideological divide is widening at an alarming pace. We have seen “cancel culture,” which initially aimed to suppress opposing voices, evolve into an “assassination culture,” where some openly call for the violent elimination of adversaries.

Evidence of this disturbing trend was highlighted by a recent Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) report. Among those surveyed who self-identified as left-of-center, 55% felt that assassinating President Trump could be justified to some extent, while 48% said the same about Elon Musk. Alarmingly, 38% of all respondents believed it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder Donald Trump. Researchers noted that these findings reflect a growing acceptance of political violence among ideological extremists.

Such a dangerous shift is taking root as assassination ideation becomes more normalized. We’ve seen Tesla dealerships vandalized and the murder of executives like Brian Thompson of United Healthcare met with approval in certain circles. Clearly, extremism begets extremism, and the future of America stands on precarious ground.

History and Scripture are unequivocal: a house — or a nation — divided against itself cannot stand for long. If America wishes to remain under a shared roof, it must find a path toward unity.

This is spiritual warfare, and because we are approaching the time of Jesus’s return, it will only intensify, so civil war between the States is a real possibility. If it does, expect China, possibly in collusion with Russia, to take advantage of it. We are in the end times, and wars and rumours of wars are prophesied.

And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 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 24:6-8

A DIFFICULT END TIMES SCRIPTURE

The difficult passage is Matthew 24:34: “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place,” the key question is, what does the term “generation” represent? The Greek word genea can mean a race of people, the total of those born during a certain timeframe, or a specific time (i.e., an age).  

This passage is part of the Olivet Discourse, which is Jesus’ response to the disciple’s questions on the end times that precede His second coming to Earth. While Bible commentators assume different positions on what genea represents, none that I know of believe it refers to those alive at that time because “all these things” described earlier by Jesus in the chapter did not take place back then and still have not taken place today. Further, Jesus could not be referring to the generation listening to Him then because He had previously said the kingdom had already been taken away from that very same generation and they would not see it (Matthew 21:43).

That being the case, some, like theologian Charles Ryrie think genea means the Jewish race, while a slight majority (including myself) believe Jesus was referring to those alive who would see “all these things” that make up the end times, the Great Tribulation period in human history. Either interpretation could be valid, but the main point is that the text, given His previous statements in Matthew, isn’t saying Christ meant those alive in the first century.   

In other words, Jesus wasn’t wrong in what He said. Next, when it comes to, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone” (Matthew 24:36), and Jesus’ knowledge on earth, we take a deep breath and realize we are staring into the face of the Incarnation’s mystery. The best we can do is piece together what the Bible tells us.

We’re told that Jesus aged like all of us, “increased in wisdom” (Luke 2:52), and that He voluntarily set aside some of His divine attributes like omniscience, during His kenosis, when He “emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7).

Scripture also says that Jesus, during His time in this world, knew just what the Father showed Him. The Old Testament predicted this, saying: “I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him” (Deuteronomy 18:18).

On this, Jesus Himself said: “I do nothing on my own authority but speak just as the Father taught me” (John 8:28), “For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment — what to say and what to speak” (John 12:49).

That being true, Jesus evidently was shielded from the exact time of His return while alive then but has no doubt resumed His omniscience now that He has returned to His glorified state.

So, even though I’m a C. S. Lewis fan, I think he got this one wrong. The bottom line is there is nothing embarrassing about Jesus’s words regarding His return and the “generation” who would be alive to see it.

We are seeing the end times’ Scripture prophecies playing out in our day. Jesus’ second coming to Earth, first to raise to life the dead Saints and then to rapture those Saints alive before pouring out His wrath upon the unrepentant, is not too far off. One of the major prophecies signifying the end times is an apostate church that has compromised with the world on homosexuality, gay marriage and even transgenderism as demonstrated by Episcopal Bishop Budde in the sermon in Washington Cathedral with Trump present and she prayed on behalf of transgender children. What did she mean? God created male and female and that cannot be changed no matter what drugs and surgery is used.

THE PROPHESIED LAST DAYS APOSTATE CHURCH

The Cathedral of Hope, one of the largest United Church of Christ (UCC) congregations in the world, has a reported 4,000 members and is known for its progressive LGBT activism.

A man dressed as a woman appeared to threaten violence against supporters of President Donald Trump. The incident took place following a “drag king” service at the Cathedral of Hope in which a performer suggested the far-left church’s congregants should “sacrifice” Trump voters.

“If any of y’all voted for Trump, please don’t tell us,” the man said, eliciting a smattering of applause from the audience. “No, don’t tell us … or do y’all sacrifice? Could we start?”

When someone in the crowd identified another person, the performer asked, “He voted for Trump?” After the audience member denied it, the drag performer said, “OK, ‘cause I will kill him,” garnering laughter from the audience.

The performer then shared a story about how he was part of a group of “other drag queens” who went to Austin to “fist fight” Gov. Greg Abbott, who is a Christian and a paraplegic following an accident in 1984 in which he lost use of his legs.

“He just wouldn’t stand up and fight me,” the drag performer said, adding, “I think that’s the easiest thing we can do with the money that we raise is take away those wheelchair ramps, not let him have access to the [Texas House] floor.”

In September 2023, Cathedral of Hope held a similar drag-themed event to protest Texas’ ban on drag performances that take place in front of minors, which was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. At that event, Cathedral of Hope invited several drag troupes, including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a blasphemous group that spurred controversy over allegations of being anti-Catholic.

In May 2023, the group was invited, cancelled and then re-invited to Dodger Stadium for the team’s pride event despite backlash from both conservative and religious groups.

The United Church of Christ is just one of the many denominational churches that have fallen away from Biblical truth and are now an abomination to the Lord. Biblical prophecy reveals that many will fall away and that persecution of Christians will escalate before Jesus returns.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold... For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” Revelation 24:9-12, 24

Moreover, what we are seeing is proof that we are in the prophesied last days before Jesus returns first to raise the dead in Christ and to rapture those still alive before pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Jesus and the Saints then return to Earth to save Israel and destroy the Antichrist’s army at the battle of Armageddon. Jesus will then judge the nations and set up His Millennial Kingdom from a renewed Jerusalem and restructured Israel. 

AMERICAN TEENAGERS OPEN TO JESUS

Although religious affiliation and church attendance are on the decline, more than half of American teenagers say they’re “very motivated” to know more about Jesus, and just over 75% say they’re at least “somewhat motivated” to learn about the centerpiece of Christianity, according to Barna Research.

Citing data from Barna’s Gen Z Vol. 3 research, which also highlights an openness and curiosity about spiritual matters among teenagers and young adults, researchers noted that the findings represent an opportunity for Christians to engage them.

“This generation tends to believe there’s something out there more powerful than them. Still, many remain hesitant to embrace religion or churchgoing,” researchers said. “Disciples of Christ should recognise that teens’ openness to learning about Jesus represents a significant opportunity for meaningful engagement.”

The data show that 77% of teens are at least motivated to learn about Jesus, with 52% being “very motivated” and 25% saying they are “somewhat motivated.” Less than 20% of teenagers said they were unmotivated to learn about Jesus, while 7% said they were unsure.

“While teens express interest in Jesus, they may approach faith differently than previous generations. Furthermore, authenticity and relevance are key. Be prepared to address difficult questions honestly and demonstrate how Jesus and the Bible relate to the world we live in today,” Barna advised..

It must be remembered that Pew Research data published in 2018, showed that although 80% of Americans say they believe in God, only a slim majority of the nation’s approximately 327 million people were found to believe in God as described in the Bible. Very few Americans have a Biblical worldview. This is a major problem, and as persecution of Christians increases, many will fall away, just as Jesus prophesied in the Olivet Discourse.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.Matthew 24:9-13

ROBOTS EVERYWHERE IN OUR SOCIETY: INDUSTRY, HOMES, TRANSPORT, EVEN ENTERTAINMENT

According to Chinese media, The Economic Observer, the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, arrived in Beijing on January 19th 2025, for Nvidia’s branch annual meeting, where he dined with Xingxing Wang, CEO of humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics, and He Wang, founder of Galbot (Robotics). Both are representatives of a younger generation of Chinese tech entrepreneurs born in the 1990s, now in their early 30s.

Chinese media China Star Market also reported that Xingxing Wang shared a photo with Huang on social media, captioned: “New year, new beginning, let’s go!” The report highlighted that Huang held meetings with high-level representatives from several leading Chinese robotics companies during his time in Beijing. Aside from Unitree Robotics and Galbot, attendees included executives from LimX Dynamics, Booster Robotics, and Kecheng Huang, co-founder of Emerging AI.

Another media outlet China Entrepreneur noted that Huang and Unitree’s Wang are not strangers to each other. In March 2024, during the GTC conference, Huang showcased nine humanoid robots, including those from Unitree. At CES 2025, Nvidia also announced its partnerships with Chinese robotics companies such as Unitree Robotics and XPeng Robotics.

We should not be surprised that China has many companies making robots as it is the largest market for robots, followed by Japan, and America third. This seems strange in a country with so much cheap labour compared to the rest of the world.

Peter Diamandis, a serial entrepreneur, futurist, technologist, and New York best-selling author, says that by 2026, we should have humanoid robots in private homes helping with laundry, vacuuming, and dishes, at least in beta testing. By 2040, there could be as many as 10 billion globally in all areas of the economy, and their labour might be as cheap as $10 a day.

In the future, they’ll be everywhere in our economy, Diamandis says: in healthcare, manufacturing, the service industry, public and urban spaces, transport, and even entertainment. This is such a transformational change that analysts don’t yet really understand how to estimate its value: Goldman Sachs says selling humanoid robots will be a $38 billion space by 2035, while Ark Invest says the resulting economic value of their labour could be as high as $24 trillion.

Judging by the debt levels of most governments in the Western world, they are out of control and unable to manage effectively. Imagine the impact of massive job losses due to companies replacing employees with robots. Currently, Amazon’s warehouses are already set to replace human workers with 100,000 robots. This is just one more reason governments will accept giving over governance to the Biblical prophesied one-world government. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the U.N. Pact for the Future, a landmark declaration pledging concrete actions towards a safer, more peaceful, sustainable and inclusive world for tomorrow’s generations. The Pact’s five broad focus areas include: sustainable development, international peace and security, science and technology, youth and future generations, and transforming global governance.

We are fast approaching the last seven years before Jesus returns first to rapture His church and then to pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world. The speed with which end-times Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled is exciting and proof that the Bible is the inspired word of God.

PROPHESIED END TIMES INVASION OF ISRAEL

In his new book, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” Jonathan Cahn explores a Bible prophecy found in Ezekiel 38-39 that may reveal the mysteries of recent events and foretell future occurrences. “What the prophet foretold is actually coming true before our very eyes,” Cahn says. “We are crossing major prophetic lines in this very hour.”

Why does Cahn focus on Ezekiel 38-39?

Because “Ezekiel’s prophecy in chapters 38 and 39 says that in the latter days after Israel returns to the land, an invasion comes,” says Cahn.

“October 7, 2023, was the first mass invasion of Israel in half a century. If the nations cited in Ezekiel’s prophecy are to launch a future mass invasion of Israel, is it possible that they could be, in some way, connected to the invasion of October?” “And thus is it possible that the October invasion was a precursor to the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy?”

Cahn identifies the nations involved in the invasion: Kush (Sudan), Phut (Libya), and Persia (Iran), linking the current names of these countries to their ancient lands, along with several others. “Biblical Kush is the land of Sudan,” he states, highlighting Sudan’s role in arms smuggling to Hamas. He also connects Turkey to ancient nations, noting, “On October 7, Turkey was critical in providing the funds Hamas needed to arm itself and invade Israel.” He went on to emphasize Iran’s involvement in the attack stating: “In modern times, Paras is Iran… and their part in sponsoring and arming Hamas cannot be overstated.”

Commenting on the unprecedented nature of these events, Cahn states: “For ages, the prophecy puzzled Bible commentators… Yet two and a half thousand years later… all of the people or nations spoken of in the prophecy have become enemies of the Jewish state.”

He concludes that the prophecy’s fulfilment is still to come, stating, “The prophecy’s fulfilment is still to come. The road that leads there may be filled with turns, reversals, and departures. And the timing is in God’s hands.” “But on Oct. 7, 2023, for the first time ever, the nations cited in Ezekiel’s prophecy—those nations that were to be involved in a future mass invasion of Israel were indeed all involved in a mass invasion of Israel.”

“The signs of October 7 would thus indicate we are closer to the day of the prophecy’s fulfilment than we might have imagined.” Cahn warns of dark forces behind these conflicts, saying: “How did Hamas manage to obtain weapons despite a blockade?… It happened because of the shadow powers that funded and armed the terrorist organization.”

Throughout the book, Cahn underscores the connection between the October invasion and ancient prophecy: “Without the nations listed above, such as Persia, Phut, Kush, and many others, Hamas could never have launched its invasion… October 7 was made possible by the players specifically cited in Ezekiel 38 and 39.”

Cahn goes on to describe the invasion as a storm: “You will ascend, coming like a storm… So too, the invasion of Israel on Oct. 7 came upon the land suddenly, massively, and ferociously.” And this is exactly how this attack came about, just like a storm!

Highlighting a chilling parallel: the Arabic code name used for the October 7th invasion, “Tufan,” means flood or storm, aligning with the Hebrew word “shoah,” which also means devastation.

Cahn concludes that these connections point to a mysterious entity still at work today, making “The Dragon’s Prophecy” essential reading for Christians in these times.

THE PRINCIPALITIES THAT AMERICA NOW WORSHIP

The principalities that America now worship are Baal, Molech, and Ashtorah. The Dark Trinity works together to destroy America. This is a continuation of the message that Jonathan delivered in his book The Paradigm.

The Biblical templates of what is playing out in America are incredible, and they demonstrate that God is in control of all events in His Cosmos, including using President Trump for His purposes.

WILL WE SEE END TIMES NEPHILIM?

Nelson Walters looks at some of the circulating end-times conspiracy theories from a Biblical perspective. Most Denominational/Institutional churches do not talk about the Nephilim, and if they do, it is not as hybrid angels/human beings. Why is that the case when the early church and Jewish scholars of the day all believed that a group of angels did come to Earth, mate with women, and produce giant hybrids that the Bible called Nephilim? Also, is there a connection between the alien abductions we hear about today and demons? Does the Bible talk about end-times hybrids? These questions and more are dealt with in Nelson’s video.
