After spending over a year in jail in America on trumped-up charges, Torben Sondergaard is now transforming churches in Mexico. God used the time Torben spent in jail to transform him and to birth his book: 412 Days: Persecuted for Christ. It’s coming are you ready? Torben also transformed the lives of many prisoners.
From the depths of a small cell in B6N, Torben Sondergaard takes us on a riveting journey through his unimaginable challenges. As events unfold, he reveals the circumstances that led him to this small cell and the intense experiences that followed.
It is a unique book, penned with a security pen on paper within the walls of a small cell in a Florida prison. Accusations of weapons smuggling and human trafficking were thrown around, yet no formal charges were made. In these pages, Torben shares his real-life experiences as they occurred-from moments of deep despair to unexpected joy, recognizing God’s hand even in his darkest hour. From the cry of “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” to the revival that transformed the entire pod where he was incarcerated, Torben reveals the divine revelations that sustained him and the truths God imparted to him, to prepare us all for what lies ahead.
This book is not just an extraordinary story; it is a prophetic message for all of us. It warns us of the Biblical prophesied end-times persecution to come. It speaks of God’s kingdom and provides the strength to stand firm when the storms hit.
As you embark on this journey, you will be drawn back to the raw and authentic Christianity of the early apostles, who, like Torben, wrote from jail to encourage the faithful to keep running the race, no matter the cost.
Please take a look at my post on October 21st, Kamala Does Not Have a Chance of Winning.In my spirit, I knew God would give America one more chance and now we know He has.
“We can’t squander this moment,” former Congressman Jody Hice said emotionally. “Underneath all of this, God is giving America a window of mercy. This has to be a moment when the body of Christ responds with gratitude and repentance. We cannot throw away this time of grace that God has given us.” Yes, there were tremendous victories that took place, he acknowledged, “but may we respond humbly and steward this moment appropriately going forward — and in greater reliance upon Him.”
From my viewpoint, the rhetoric from Trump last night when he declared victory for himself and the Republican Party shows he will not do the one thing that is necessary for God to lift judgment off the land. Trump needs to tell the American people that he and the nation need to get on their knees and repent of their abominable sins. Abortion, homosexuality, gay marriage, transgenderism are all an abomination to God and need to cease. Trump is pragmatic so we know that this will not happen. For example, at the Republican Party Primaries, Trump had already compromised his position on abortion.
Fortunately, God has told us how this era will end. So many of the Biblical end-times prophecies have already occurred. Persecution of Christians will increase as we enter the last seven years before Jesus returns to usher in His Millennial Kingdom.
I will do my best to keep you informed of where we are in the last days according to Bible prophecy.
“When the leader of the largest African American Pentecostal denomination stood up and said I endorse Kamala Harris, he was saying: I endorse murder, I endorse homosexuality, I endorse lesbianism, I endorse transgenderism, I endorse every evil that Hell could prosper or bring up to [be] right. That’s wrong, folks,” Donnie Swaggart lamented to members of the Family Worship Center Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where his father, Jimmy Swaggart, remains senior leader.
You also know that it shows we are in the Biblical prophesied end times when Jesus told us that much of the church will fall away from the truth and compromise with the world’s values.
“The black church votes predominantly for the party that is anti-God. What’s going on here? What’s going on?” Swaggart asked.
He suggested that some black Christians don’t like it when he or his ministry publicly discusses the support Democrats have from black churches. Still, it needs to be discussed because Democrats don’t support an agenda that is in line with biblical values.
Scores of young COGIC leaders have since responded to Swaggart’s rebuke in an open letter, arguing, in part, that he presented a reductive view of the black church based on political allegiance. They call his view “not only an oversimplification of the faith but a theological distortion that borders on idolatry.”
“The Gospel is not the handmaiden of any political party or political movement, and the Kingdom of God is neither Republican nor Democrat. Such a mishandling of the Gospel is erroneous at best and heretical at worst,” the leaders asserted.
Sheard’s anointing of Harris came after she delivered a message from Jeremiah 29:11 which says: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
“We are blessed because we are yet in the land of the living. You are blessed to be in this place today and we’re blessed to have, ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris,” Sheard declared as he introduced Harris to his congregation ahead of her message.
Harris then wielded scripture while encouraging the packed church to help God’s plan by voting.
“So church, in just two days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And as we prepare for that moment, I am reminded of the passage from scripture. The prophet Jeremiah wrote, for I know the plans I have for you. They are the plans for good. And not for disaster. To give you a future and a hope. Church, God has a plan for us. He has good plans,” Harris declared.
“Plans that will heal us and bring us together as one nation. Plans for freedom, plans for opportunity, plans for justice. But let us remember, it is not enough to just believe in those plans. We must act. Not enough to only pray, not enough to just talk. We must act on the plans he has in store for us. And we must make them real through our works.”
Kamala Harris is an agent of Satan who is the master deceiver and it is obvious he has trained Kamala well. Satan used Scripture when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness and Kamala Harris likewise quotes Scripture to tempt churchgoers.
Recent anti-God expenditures and legislation by State Governments will ensure further judgement on this nation by God.
NSW MLC John Ruddick has delivered a powerful speech to the state parliament about the excessive funding of rainbow activism. Up to $14 million and at least 22 agencies receive tax-payer funding to support their ‘neo-religion.’ Ruddick has called for government funding to cease and allow these groups to continue only if they can raise the funding themselves. He noted that organisations such as ACON (formerly known as the Aids Council of NSW) served their purpose during the AIDs epidemic but have since had to “invent new rainbow causes that are so important that the taxpayer has to fund them.” When lobby groups fight for a cause and win, they don’t just pack up their lobbying tents and go home. Too often they simply find new and more radical causes within the same framework. Lobbyists who rely on government grants do not simply pat themselves on the back after winning their cause – they get addicted to the gravy train.
Ashlyn Vice, SA Director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL), says Mr Hood’s Termination of Pregnancy Amendment (Terminations and Live Births) Bill was a “no-nonsense, compelling proposition to change the process of terminations post 28-weeks’ gestation – offering a pro-woman, pro-child compromise”. “Tonight’s result means more South Australian babies will be needlessly born dead when they could have been safely born alive,” Vice says. “If passed, this Bill would have ensured babies in their third trimester would be born alive by inducing early labour in circumstances where the mother insists on ending the pregnancy. This was to replace current practice, which is to kill the baby via a lethal potassium chloride injection before inducing labour.” Vice says.
Our elected government leaders have no fear of God which reveals the godless state of our nation and an inept church. A church that no longer upholds the inerrancy of God’s Word and heeds the many warnings and signs given of God’s coming judgement when He pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.
Read the first four Trumpet judgements and know that the intensity only escalates as God pours out His wrath with the seven Trumpet and seven Bowl judgements. How many churches are warning the world of this soon coming judgement of God?
“The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter. The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.” Revelation 8: 7-12
The Jewish people have always been a mystery to the world. No people have ever known so much rejection, antipathy, and hatred. Joined to one land as no other people have ever been so joined to a land—and yet separated from their land and landless as no other people have been so separated from a land or landless.
Even before they went into the promised land God revealed to them through Moses their entire history, they would be scattered throughout the Earth but in the latter days, they would return to the Lord.
“And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you, destroy you, or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.“ Deuteronomy 4:27-31
In fact, all of the O.T. prophets were given the end of the story for their nation, Israel, when their Messiah Jesus will rule all the world’s nations from a magnificent new Jerusalem for 1000 years. Check out: http://www.millennialkingdom.net
Throughout their history they have dwelt apart and separate from the nations as no people have ever been so separate—and yet so intertwined with the nations and critical to world history as no other people have been so intertwined and critical. No people have ever been so connected to their times and so transcended the parameters of time and space to become near timeless and universal.
They have been the weakest of nations and yet the strongest—the most vulnerable of peoples and most often in danger of extermination; and yet the most enduring of peoples. No people, while on earth, have ever so known the presence of God and the glories of heaven and yet no other people have ever so known the depths of hell. They are an enigma, an anomaly, a paradox, a mystery people.
The Scriptures record that God called them into existence. They were not chosen for any special attribute they possessed.
“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ Exodus 19:5-6
Israel was to be a vessel of God, a central conduit and instrument for the fulfillment of His plans and purposes for the world. According to the Scriptures, Israel stands at the centre of God’s purposes—not only in past and ancient times but in all times. They occupy the centre point of history and prophecy. And beyond all this is something even more foundational. In the Book of Isaiah, God says to the people of Israel, “You are My witnesses“. And thus beyond any work or accomplishment of the Jewish people is something still more critical and transcendent—their existence. The very existence of the Jewish people is a witness testifying to the existence of God.
There is a spiritual entity (The Dragon) that wars against the purposes and works of God and does everything in its power to thwart, attack, and destroy them. The war against Jewish existence is unlike any other. It knows no bounds of space or time. It is not rational or natural. It happens no matter what, no matter when, no matter who, and no matter where. It is supernatural and irrational, the dark and virulent offshoot of the mystery of evil. It is the work of a fallen, twisted, inverted spiritual and supernatural being. The truth is, the first of all anti-Semites was an angel. All who hate the Jewish people, all the anti-Semites of every place and time he is their father, and they, his children. The words they speak against the children of Israel are his words. The acts they commit against them are his acts. And so if we look through the ages at the attacks launched and battles waged against the Jewish people, we would expect to find there his footprints. And his footprints are exactly what we find.
Notice, that Satan is called the accuser: “for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.”Revelation 12:10. Therefore, we would expect the Jewish people to become the most slandered people in human history, the eternal focal point of accusation, allegation, vilification, and demonization. And so they have been and still are. Beyond that Satan is a liar, we would therefore expect the Jewish people to become the focal point not only of accusation but of false accusations, lies, and fabrications.
In the modern world, they are accused of masterminding virtually every major evil and conspiracy for the purpose of world domination. It matters not how groundless or far-fetched the accusations are. Their origins, as we have seen, are not rational. But they are consistent with the one, Satan, in whom there is no truth.
From Biblical prophecy, we know that Satan’s time of ruling planet Earth is coming to an end. He will have ruled for 6,000 years and then we will have Jesus Christ rule for 1,000 years to fulfill God’s promise to Abraham that the nation He established through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will rule the nations of Earth.

Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy is one of the most fascinating, powerful, majestic, and amazing prophecies of the Messiah – Jonathan Cahn opens up the mysterious Seventy Sevens of Daniel, the exact mathematical countdown to the coming of Messiah, and some surprising revelations hidden in the original language. Jonathan’s presentation is the best explanation of this amazing prophecy I have ever heard. The exact timing is a countdown of the Messiah’s coming given to Daniel. Proof the Bible is God’s Word to mankind. It provides the only true history of the Cosmos and its proof is fulfilled prophecy.
11,000 businesses went into insolvency in the 2023/2024 period. Corporate insolvencies are at fresh highs after the worst start to any financial year on record as a deterioration in the economy coupled with a crackdown on unpaid tax by the Australian Taxation Office forces the closure of more businesses.
Recent months have seen a tripling in debt recovery action undertaken by the ATO as it pursues unprofitable small businesses given reprieve during the pandemic years and are now unable to pay tax bills. Industry watchers say there is grave concern for the hospitality sector, which is ground zero for fallout from the cost-of-living crisis.
This September quarter had the highest rate of external administration and controller appointments since ASIC records began in the late 1990s, surpassing the previous high in 2012 when 2961 businesses went under following the global financial crisis.
Rex was the biggest casualty after the airline entered voluntary administration in July, owing $500m, and subsequently culled its Boeing 737 fleet. Administrator EY has yet to find a buyer.
EY strategy and transaction partner Morgan Kelly said businesses were squeezed by softening revenue as a result of the cost of living, higher input costs, and increasing interest rates lifting debt repayments.
Accommodation and food services insolvency appointments grew at a faster rate of 109 percent from 339 to 709 in the quarter. This included The Beston Global Food Company, which was placed into voluntary administration last month.

Australia like most Western nations has ejected God out of all aspects of life so it will continue to come under God’s judgement. What is unfolding in the world fits with Biblical end-times prophecies so we should not be surprised but rejoice that Satan’s time of deception is drawing to a close. Nevertheless, we need to take Jesus’ warning seriously about endurance and allow the Holy Spirit to direct our every step.
“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. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14
The Victorian State government (Australia) wants to expand its anti-vilification legislation to include a laundry list of additional attributes, including disability, gender identity, sexual characteristics, and sexual orientation. If such an expansion is passed, it will become illegal in Victoria to offend people who are disabled, trans, non-binary, or “sexually diverse”. Maximum prison sentences will be up to three to five years.
The legal thresholds for what constitutes vilification will be lowered. Currently, one must “incite hatred” to breach the law. Under the proposed changes, however, speech that is “likely to incite” will become a criminal offence. Under such a standard, almost all speech referring to those with protected attributes – regardless of intent or context – could be deemed criminal. This means journalists, writers, comedians, academics, artists and activists will all be open to prosecution.
This new orthodoxy operates on multiple levels. First, it holds that speech inflicts harm equivalent to physical violence, which means stringent controls must be placed on expression. Second, it establishes a hierarchy of moral authority based on perceived victimhood, where some voices are deemed more virtuous than others. Third, it promotes a series of dogmas about identity, privilege, and systemic oppression that brook no dissent. This means debate is off the table.
Melbourne’s beloved Midsumma Festival, which takes place from January 19 through February 9, 2020—during Australia’s summer—draws tens of thousands of participants from the Melbourne metro area, all over Australia, and, increasingly, throughout the world. The city’s Gay Business Association started the festival in 1988 to celebrate the Melbourne queer community’s arts and culture.
Like any religion, this belief system has its own heresies. Questioning the concept of gender fluidity, expressing concern about biological males in women’s sports, or suggesting that factors other than discrimination might contribute to disparities between groups – all these become dangerous utterances, potentially worthy of legal sanction.
Just as heretics once faced inquisitions for challenging church doctrine, today’s dissenters risk social ostracism, professional ruin, and potentially legal consequences for transgressing this new moral code. Victoria’s shift represents a fundamental reimagining of the role of government in a liberal democracy. Rather than serving as a neutral arbiter, protecting the rights of citizens who have equality before the law, the state is now becoming the enforcer of a particular worldview. It’s a vision where the government not only dictates what citizens can say, but what they must believe.
This will just intensify the persecution of Christians which fulfils one of the many Biblical prophesied end-times signs. It will also ensure Australia comes under the escalating judgement of God.
“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
Taken from an article in The Australian by Claire Lehmann. She is the founding editor of Quillette online magazine.
Did God give us star signs to mark the major events in the Book of Revelation? The incredible answer is YES, He did. And because of computerized astronomical software that simulates the movement of the night skies, we can now know the exact timing of those signs. How do we know what signs to look for? God described the signs in Revelation. So in this Nelson Walters video, he explains in detail, the four signs as God described them, the unique fulfillments in the future, and the dates that each star sign will happen. And, it so happens, they all occur on Feasts of the Lord, God’s prophetic calendar. The prophetic significance of all the Feasts is known as the first four were fulfilled with Jesus first coming to Earth. The last three will be fulfilled with Jesus’ second coming.
When you watch these ads which are based on Kamala Harris speaking the words that will ensure she loses the election you will see why I say she does not have a chance of winning. The Democrats made a fatal mistake when they decided to run with Joe Biden. When Joe Biden revealed the state of his mental decline in the debate, the Democrats had no choice but to replace him. Running out of time until the election and therefore time to promote a new candidate, the VP, Kamal Harris must have seemed to be the best option. No one could have foreseen how she would dig her own grave.
For Christians, Trump is the best of the two options but Trump won’t make America more powerful or more great again. Trump needs to tell the American people that unless they get on their knees and repent of their abominable sins, of which abortion is horrific, God will not stop the judgement that is already being unleashed on the land.
One thing is for sure, China and Russia won’t like Trump winning and may choose to strike sooner while it is still weak and dealing with an immense border crisis. We know from Biblical end-times prophecy that the Antichrist and his false prophet will rule the world for a short period before Jesus returns to destroy them and the army they assemble for the battle of Armageddon. The recent UN Pact for the Future is a further step toward a one-world government.
