Euphrates River is prophesied to dry up in the time before Jesus returns. This video shows that it is drying up an alarming rate right now.
Also, the remains of Nephilim are now being revealed due to it being dried up.
What about the fallen angels bound beneath the Euphrates who, according to the Bible, are to be released in the end times? This video shows important end-time signs and gives good advice on how to live in these difficult times, make sure you pass it on.
In his first public address since Inauguration Day, Vice President J.D. Vance assured attendees at the March for Life that the Trump administration has their back and will work to make it easier for families to raise their children. Vance’s address makes him the second sitting vice president to appear at a March for Life. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served during the first Trump administration, became the first sitting vice president to address the annual event in 2017.
Vance addressed the crowd gathered at the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., Friday. His speech comes less than a week after he took office as the 50th vice president of the United States.
Vance reflected on the state of the pro-life movement and the importance of working to “defend the unborn” and be “pro-family and pro-life in the fullest sense of that world possible,” telling the massive crowd that “our country has not yet stepped up in the way you have.” “We failed a generation not only by permitting a culture of abortion on demand but also by neglecting to help young parents achieve the ingredients they need to live a happy and meaningful life,” Vance asserted. “A culture of radical individualism took root, one where the responsibilities and joys of family life were seen as obstacles to overcome, not as personal fulfillment or personal blessings. Our society has failed to recognise the obligation that one generation has to another is a core part of living in a society, to begin with.”
“I want more babies in the United States of America,” he proclaimed. “I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them. And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are.”
He also brought up President Donald Trump’s pardon of 23 pro-life activists convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during the Biden administration for blocking the entrances to abortion clinics. “No longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists, elderly grandparents or anybody else in prison,” he stated.
“It stopped on Monday and we’re not going to let it come back to this country,” he insisted. “This administration stands by you, we stand with you, and most importantly, we stand with the most vulnerable and the basic principle that people exercising the right to protest on behalf of the most vulnerable should never have the government go after them ever again.”
Vance concluded his speech by thanking the pro-life movement for their work and maintaining that because of their efforts, “America is fundamentally a pro-baby, a pro-life and a pro-family country.”
| Gen Z | 1997 – 2012 | 13 – 28 |
| Millennials or Generation Y | 1981 – 1996 | 29 – 44 |
| Generation X | 1965 – 1980 | 45 – 60 |
Sadly, all three generations, X, Y and Z, have been brought up being taught evolution and the Big Bang, not creation, as the origin of the Cosmos. Also, prayer in the United States, if organised by the school, was banned from public elementary, middle, and high schools by a series of Supreme Court decisions since 1962. Moreover, we now find that due to the woke and transgender curriculum, one-third of children in the USA are racist and not sure of their gender. Even more devastating is the fact that most denominational/institutional churches, including the Episcopal, Anglican, United Methodist, Presbyterian and even the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran church body in the United States, allow for LGBTQ+ marriage and ordination of LGBTQ+ clergy. Hence, the apostate state of the church and the younger generations gives us little hope for revival.
Those who study their Bibles know that we are fast approaching the Biblical end-time prophecy of a one-world government and its ruler, the Antichrist. America is not featured at all among the nations that play a role in end-time events.
A female bishop, Mariann Budde, delivers a fiery rebuke to President Donald Trump, blending scripture with many hot topics. But does her interpretation hold up? In this video, Living Waters examines her claims through the lens of scripture and discusses why the Bible is clear on the role of women in teaching authority. Watch at the end to see Donald Trump’s response to her combative sermon.
According to the latest report, 380 million Christians — one in seven worldwide — face high levels of persecution and discrimination.
As the organization has done for over 20 years, Open Doors US ranked North Korea No. 1 on its World Watch List. “North Korea continues to be a place that is incredibly difficult for Christians,” Brown stated. “Reports of violence have continued to escalate within North Korea, and it is expansive throughout the State.” Christians in North Korea could face execution or imprisonment in a labour camp if their faith is discovered, Open Doors warns. Despite the targeted oppression, however, the latest World Watch List reported that around 400,000 believers in North Korea are continuing to bear witness to the love of Christ.
A North Korean Christian, Jung Jik (name changed for security reasons), who escaped imprisonment twice, is praying to see his child again and share Jesus with him, showcasing the determination persecuted believers have to keep God’s Word alive amid surges in anti-Christian violence across the globe. As Jung attested in the report, a large underground Church still survives in North Korea. “There’s still a large underground church. Because you pray, many people are miraculously healed, and they experience God’s power. They come to faith.”
Brown said Christians like Jung, who refuse to forsake Christ, are a model for Christ-followers in Western countries with the right to religious freedom. Throughout Christianity’s history, Brown stressed that the Church has continued to thrive, even when persecution is extreme.
“There are places where the Church is, by all accounts, the life is being squeezed from it,” Brown said, citing the North African country of Algeria, which ranked 19th on the 2025 World Watch List, as an example. Per the report, “all Protestant churches [in Algeria] have been forced to close, and the number of Christians awaiting trial and sentencing is at an all-time high.”
Other countries that have forced the Church underground include Afghanistan, which ranked No. 10 on the list. Due to the Taliban enforcing strict interpretations of Islamic law, converting from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death. Christians also face punishment or fear being murdered at the hands of their family, clan or tribe if they renounce Islam.
“There are places where the Church is being forced deeply underground, and any visible expression of that presence is very difficult to observe,” Brown said. “But there are places where, in the midst of persecution, the Church continues to operate, the Church continues to minister.”
The latest report also found increased violence scores in 15 sub-Saharan countries since the 2023 World Watch List. The 2025 report noted that the sub-Saharan Africa region is the most violent due to Islamic extremist groups taking advantage of government instability.
“Persecution is rising in countries such as Burkina Faso (20), Mali (14) and Chad (49), which enters the top 50 for the first time,” the report found.
Christians in Yemen (3), Sudan (5) and Myanmar (13) are easy targets for persecution as anarchy and internal conflict within these regions grows, according to Open Doors.
Nigeria, which ranked seventh on the list, stands out from many of the sub-Saharan countries, as there wasn’t much room for conditions in the region to worsen from previous years.
Christians in northern Nigeria are targeted by Fulani militants, Boko Haram and other extremist groups who murder or abduct people of faith. Thousands of Nigerian Christians have been killed in recent years. According to a summary of the 2025 report’s trends, “the measure of anti-Christian violence in the country is already at the maximum possible under World Watch List methodology.”
Fortunately, we know from Biblical prophecy that Christian persecution escalates in the time before Jesus returns to restore righteousness and usher in His Millennial Kingdom. This Earth still has 1000 years before it is destroyed. The nation God raised up for His purposes, Israel, must fulfill its destiny, and it will with Jesus reigning the nations of the world with the raised, glorified Saints. They rule with a rod of iron, indicating that the curse has not been lifted. People are still being born and are dying. They still need to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Satan and his minions are bound for most of the thousand years but are released at the end, and he still raises an army of people like the sand of the sea to come against Jesus and the Saints. This says a lot about people who are given free will to choose. Sadly, like Satan and one-third of the angels, many want to be god and choose to rebel against God and His commandments.
Over the past 20 years, beginning with Hurricane Katrina, the United States has seen its 10 most costly natural disasters. Hurricane Helene could top them all at an estimated $200–$250 billion in damages. The fires currently ravaging California might add to this grim record, with total costs yet unknown. That doesn’t count the irreplaceable loss of human life. Take a look at Ray Comfort’s video below on what could put these fires out.
Much of the crisis in Los Angeles stems from poor policy decisions, including environmental regulations that diverted 95% of crucial rainwater to the ocean instead of reservoirs. The Los Angeles Fire Department’s (LAFD) Strategic Plan for 2023-2026, “enhance[ing] community resilience, disaster recovery capabilities, and environmental sustainability”, ranked seventh out of seven priorities — dead last. Much higher on the list was promoting a “progressive work environment” (second) and committing to “embrace[] diversity, equity, and inclusion” (third). These priorities reflect the goal of LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, touted as “the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief in the LAFD.”
Turning away from God and His values results in chaos and, eventually, God’s judgement. When truth is rejected, justice suffers, and the consequences, though not always immediate, can be devastating.
Jesus actually warned of days like these. In Luke 21, when His disciples asked about the signs of the end times, He said, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences… and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” He then cautioned that believers would face persecution and be brought before leaders for His name’s sake, calling it an opportunity to bear witness.
So, how do we prepare for these unsettling times? Jesus offers a clear answer later in Luke 21, verse 36: “But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things… and to stand before the Son of Man.”
By escaping, He does not mean running away, but standing firm, with confidence and compassion because you’re watching and praying, not hiding and complaining. Hard times can also become times of opportunity. When we remain alert and prayerful, we can respond in faith and compassion instead of fear. For those who are prepared, adversity can forge strength and testimony. Instead of giving in to panic, we are to rely on prayer, leaning on the eternal God, creator and sustainer of all things.
Jonathan’s video is a powerful and informative message on the Book of Revelation. It summarizes the key end-time events that will unfold in our day. Make sure you get this message out as widely as you are able.
Jonathan gives sixteen signs from Revelation that prove the Bible is God’s Word and He is in control of world events. It is a great end-times guide.
The last post: Meaning of the Letters to the Seven Churches in Revelation Part 2 ( December 17th, 2024) covered the second church, the Church of Smyrna. The third church is the church of Pergamum.
In Revelation 2:12, we read about one of the seven churches, “the church in Pergamum …where Satan’s throne is.” The ancient city of Pergamum with the altar of Zeus, was the center of pagan worship in Asia Minor. Of significance, the altar was excavated and taken stone by stone to Berlin where it was reassembled in its own museum.
Albert Speer, was commissioned by the new chancellor, Adolf Hitler, to design the parade grounds for the party rallies in Nuremberg. Speer turned to the Pergamon Altar for inspiration. Using the altar as a model, Speer created a colossal grandstand, known as the Zeppelin tribune. In the following years’ mass rallies were held there. From the altar’s podium, Hitler mesmerized the crowds as they swore a “holy oath” to Germany. It was also in Nuremberg that Hitler used the phrase Final Solution for the first time in public. Hitler’s Final Solution is known as the Holocaust, a word that comes from a Greek word meaning “a wholly burnt animal sacrifice.” On the ancient Altar of Zeus in Pergamom, burnt sacrifice was practiced. Centuries later in Germany’s Nuremberg, in the redesigned Pergamon Altar, Hitler announced his Final Solution to the world and this time, the burnt sacrifice was six million Jews.
Since the 1990s, Turkey has been conducting an intensive diplomatic effort for the return of the altar, which belongs to the Anatolian territory. Recently, Berlin’s official in charge of anti-discrimination efforts, Saraya Gomis, has suggested the return of the Pergamon Altar to Türkiye. Could it play a role in the Antichrist’s rule?
The Third Year of the 70th Week will begin the improper, seemingly-forced “marriage” of many churchgoers to the Antichrist. As food becomes scarce, many will take the Mark of the Beast and suffer eternal condemnation, rather than trust God, because the threat of starvation will surround them.
One meaning for the name Pergamum: “all-surrounding marriage” (Gk: PERI meaning “around or all-surrounding” and GAMOS meaning marriage). This will be the situation facing Christians in the third year being forced to take the mark of the Beast.
ATTRIBUTES OF JESUS: In the Letter to Pergamum, Jesus is described this way, “The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this“. In the Second Year, the rider of the Red Horse is given a “great sword.” In the Third Year, Jesus counters with his two edged sword.
“Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13
Most people who have been around the church for a while know the verse which refers to the two-edged sword. Most don’t know the context. As the passage progresses, it says that we are to be diligent to enter that rest. There is a risk of falling away if we follow the example of disobedience the Jews charted after Joshua’s day. It is into this context that God’s Word is compared to a two-edged sword. It seems this verse is the reference Jesus wants us to consider in the Letter to the church of Pergamum, in the third year of tribulation.
He wants His Word to lay our intentions bare when faced with the choice of taking the Mark of the Beast. He does not want us to enter into an “improper marriage.” Ultimately, it is this sword that comes out of Jesus’s mouth (the Word of God), which will strike down the nations:
“From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.” Revelation 19:15
Jesus also wants us to remember that Satan may appear to be winning, but He alone will ultimately triumph. The Mark of the Beast may provide a few morsels of food, but little else in this life, but eternal condemnation by God at the second resurrection. It can’t be emphasized enough, NEVER take the Mark of the Beast.
CONDITION OF THE CHURCH OF PERGAMUM: We can see from what Jesus writes to the Church of Pergamum that the persecutions have already begun in the Third Year:
“I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast my name, and did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.” Revelation 2:13
Around the time that Revelation was recorded by John, Antipas, the Bishop of Pergamum, was martyred. This cemented the satanic reputation of the city and some accounts have it, that he was killed on the altar of Zeus.
In year two of the 70th Week (the Letter to Smyrna), we saw that imprisonment of Christians would begin that year and that the imprisonments would eventually lead to death. Now in Year Three we see that martyrdom has begun. The name “Antipas” means “in place of all.” His martyrdom is a symbol of what is to come.
In the Letter to Pergamum, Jesus is also telling us that he sympathizes with us. He knows the tribulation Christians will be facing in those days, and he is pleased with the faith of those who stand fast. In the next verses, he also reveals that this is the time when some churchgoers, faced with the choice of taking the Mark of the Beast, will commit apostasy. He also shows that for some who have not taken the Mark, there is still time to repent:
“There some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Therefore repent.” Revelation 2:14-16
Notice that Jesus uses names we have seen earlier: Balaam and the Nicolaitans. Balaam is a foreshadow of the False Prophet and the Nicolaitans are a symbolic word for followers of the Antichrist (Muslims). The sins that are listed: eating food sacrificed to idols and sexual immorality, are indicative of the Third Year.
This verse is talking about food, but the sacrifice isn’t the sacrifice of bulls and goats, rather it is the sacrifice of churchgoers’ souls to Satan. By taking the Mark of the Beast these churchgoers will be allowed to buy and sell, and thus eat. They will lose their salvation, however—-a terrible deal. This is especially true given the promise Jesus gives at the end of the Letter to Pergamum: To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna. Obviously, this speaks of some kind of provision: spiritual, physical, or both.
THE WHITE STONE: The symbol of a white stone at the end of the Letter to Pergamum has baffled commentators. The one I like best makes complete sense and is the only one that is directly connected to Pergamum. Ray Vander Laan of That The World May Know video series has shown that white stones with names on them still line the Sacred Way in Pergamum, a mile long road leading to the shrine of Asclepius, the god of healing. After a person was supposedly healed by this god, they inscribed their name on one of these stones. In my opinion, Jesus is saying that there will be a sacred way in the Kingdom lined with white stones of those He eternally heals. The aspect of a “new name” is intriguing. God gave Abram a new name: Abraham. He renamed Sarai: Sarah. He renamed a man named Hosea and called him Joshua. In Isaiah 62:2 he tells the city of Jerusalem that he will rename it. In Revelation 19:12 we learn Jesus has a name written on him that no one else knows. This last example is almost a direct quote from Revelation 2:17. When God changes someone, he renames him. I think these names inscribed on the white stones will be our new names, our new names that announce Jesus’s victory.
In the next post, we will look at the church of Thyatira, the fifth church, in the fifth year of Daniel’s 70th week. Related to the fourth letter, the Letter to Thyatira, commentators are uncertain as to the meaning of the name Thyatira. Some have proposed that it is a Turkish word, not Greek. The Turkish equivalent of “Thyatira” means “graveyard on a hill.” If this is the correct meaning, it fits perfectly with the Fourth Year of the 70th Week of Daniel—-the year the Green Horse rides, signifying death.
It is fascinating that the colours of the horses of the apocalypse are WHITE, BLACK, RED, and GREEN. It is no coincidence that the following Muslim countries flags are those colours: Palestine, Syria, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Libya, Sudan, Western Sahara, Jordan, and Afghanistan. Iran has three of the colours, white, red, and green. Turkey has two of the colours, white and red.
A Virginia realtor and Christian minister has been found guilty by an ethics panel after he quoted Bible verses on social media.
Wilson Fauber, 70, a longtime realtor with over four decades in the industry, was found in violation of National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) Code of Ethics, which prohibits realtors from using “harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs” related to “race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity.”
The posts in question, which were made years before the NAR’s adoption of the rule in 2020, included Fauber’s views on marriage and human sexuality according to traditional Christian teachings, attorneys said.
In a statement released Thursday through his attorneys at the Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC), Fauber said: “In 44 years as a realtor, I have loved and served all people. Regularly, I hear from other faith-based realtors that live in fear of being similarly prosecuted for their faith, and potentially losing their livelihoods, if they don’t hide their faith well enough.”
The posts, which Fauber shared as part of his personal ministry, went unnoticed until two fellow realtors, who Fauber had never met, filed formal ethics complaints against him. The complaints alleged that his posts violated NAR’s vague “hate speech” rule. The VAR panel determined that Fauber’s views on marriage and sexuality, expressed through Bible verses and Christian doctrine, violated NAR’s Standard of Practice 10-5.
One of the two men who filed the original complaint with the VAR is reportedly an “openly gay man.” Complainants are not typically identified publicly in real estate ethics complaints.
Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation, of which FFLC is a part, called the decision “nothing short of anti-Christian bigotry in the real estate profession,” adding, “Wilson’s punishment will have the effect of chilling the religious speech of over 1.5 million other realtors in the U.S.”
The good news is that this persecution is exactly what Jesus said we can expect before His second coming. This warning from Jesus indicates worse persecution is to come. so we cannot say we have not been warned.
“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. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13
Jonathan Cahn reviews the key prophetic events and mysteries of 2024 as we head into the next.
Apostasy in the church is a major Biblical end-times prophecy. Jonathan shows us that the Pope has led the way with apostasy and that most institutional/denominational churches have also fallen away from Biblical truth. Could the Pope be the Biblical False Prophet? More recently, the pope’s decision to have a special pilgrimage for the LGBT community in the 2025 Jubilee Year, titled “Church: Home for All, LGBT+ Christians and Other Existential Frontiers” proves he has departed from Biblical faith and is leading the Catholic church into apostasy. What he is proposing will involve a prayer vigil for LGBT Catholics on September 5th, 2025 at the Church of the Gesù in Rome. They will then pass through the Holy Doors of St. Peter’s on September 6th.
The world cannot see it but the choice is clear. It is repent or perish, revival or ruin, Christ or chaos.
Members of religious groups faced harassment by either governmental actors or social groups in a record number of countries and territories as a new Pew Research Center analysis finds acts of hostility against Christians are on the rise.
The release of Pew’s report, “Government Restrictions on Religion Stayed at Peak Levels Globally in 2022,” marks the 15th time it has conducted research examining government restrictions and social hostilities toward religion in 198 countries and territories. Imagine what a 2024 report will show as persecution has escalated in 2023 and 2024. Significant other Biblical end-times prophecies have already been fulfilled particularly the re-establishment of Israel as a nation back in 1948 and now the falling away from Biblical faith by most of the institutional churches (apostasy).
“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. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13
The research revealed that in 2022, “harassment of religious groups by governments or social actors occurred in 192 out of the world’s 198 countries and territories.” This constituted “an increase by two countries from 2021 and a new peak level for the study.”
“Governments harassed people for their religious beliefs and practices in 186 countries in 2022, up from 183 in 2021,” the report states. “Social groups or private individuals harassed people due to their religion in 164 countries, the same number as in 2021. Governments and/or social actors harassed religious groups in 192 countries, including 158 countries where both governments and social groups or private individuals engaged in harassment.”
As has been the case in every installment of the study, Christians experienced harassment in most countries, reaching a record high of 166 in 2022.
One example cited in the report was the arrest of a man whose son brought Bibles and other Christian literature across the border into Mauritania from Senegal.
Another example is a Syriac Catholic Church leader in Bartella, a historically Christian town in Nineva province rebuilding after the defeat of the Islamic State, who said militias “sought to ‘seize and occupy Christian properties’ in an attempt to drive out Christians and alter the religious composition of the town.”
The study identified property damage, assaults, detentions, displacements and killings as examples of physical harassment experienced by religious groups. It highlighted how at least one instance of physical harassment toward a religious group occurred in 145 of 198 countries, marking an increase from the 137 measured in 2021.
Governments used physical force against religious groups in 111 countries, while social groups or private individuals were determined to have engaged in such harassment in the same number of countries.
The most frequent form of physical harassment directed at religious groups was property damage, occurring in 61% of countries. Detentions occurred in slightly less than half (47%) of countries, while the share of countries where physical assaults, displacements and killings occurred were measured at 45%, 26% and 25%, respectively.
According to a detailed appendix accompanying the report, the only countries where absolutely no harassment of religious groups occurred at the hands of the government in 2022 were Cape Verde, Fiji, Grenada, Macao, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Portugal, San Marino, Senegal and Suriname. The United States was listed as one of 110 countries where there was widespread intimidation of religious groups “by any level of government.”
Religious groups in the U.S. found themselves subject to property damage and physical assaults, while no displacements, killings or detentions were recorded. Another adverse experience faced by religious groups in the U.S. involves organized groups using “force or coercion in an attempt to dominate public life with their perspective on religion, including preventing some religious groups from operating in the country.”
LIVING ETERNAL NOW
