END TIMES EARTHQUAKES HAPPENING NOW

A major, preliminary magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the South Atlantic Ocean late Thursday, the United States Geological Survey reported, prompting Chilean authorities to issue an advisory for a potential tsunami along parts of Antarctica.

This is just one of the many earthquakes that are being reported this month. A M8.8 in Russia and a M6.3 in Indonesia, while the Australian continent experienced a moderate M5.6 in Queensland and a magnitude 5.5 on August 19.

There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Mark 13:8b

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matthew 24:7

There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences.” Luke 21:11

NEW STUDY ON THE CASCADIA FAULT: EARTHQUAKES THAT COULD SINK CITIES. The Cascadia Fault is one of the greatest seismic threats in North America. Recent studies show that, in addition to massive earthquakes and tsunamis, parts of the coastline could suddenly sink, creating permanent risks for coastal cities and communities. In this video, we explain what science has revealed about the Cascadia Fault, the potential impacts on the Pacific Northwest, and—most importantly—how preparation can save lives. Based on data from the USGS and research led by Dr. Tina Dura of Virginia Tech, this video provides reliable insights into seismic hazards and the urgent need for preparedness.

END TIMES EVENTS ARE UNFOLDING EXACTLY AS THE BIBLE PROPHECIES

This presentation by Jonathan Cahn proves that the events that are unfolding in our world fit with Biblical end times prophecies. What is happening is exactly as prophesied which reveals that God is on His throne controlling all that is happening.

Jonathan Cahn reveals the connection between Ezekiel’s Prophecy, the Israel-Iran War, & the unfolding signs of the next Big Event of the End Times.

INTENSIFYING PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS

Christianity is at risk of being “wiped out” in parts of the world due to intensifying persecution, the United Kingdom’s special envoy for freedom of religion or belief, David Smith, has warned. The British government is now targeting 10 countries as part of its revised foreign policy focus to defend this human right. Smith, the Labour Party MP for North Northumberland, made the remarks during a briefing at the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office.

Jesus was asked by His disciples: “What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?Matthew 24:3

Jesus response: “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.
“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 24:6-14

Smith, a Christian who previously worked with Tearfund and the Bible Society made no mention of the fact that what is unfolding fits with end times prophecies. but he did announced a new plan to prioritize Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in countries where religious minorities face repression or violence. Smith said the U.K. will focus on 10 countries, naming Vietnam, Algeria, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iraq. He said these were selected because of the severity of need, the U.K.’s diplomatic ties and the possibility of making progress.

He added that persecution, carried out both by governments and social groups, can involve harassment by police, social ostracism, detention without cause, denial of citizenship, torture, attacks on places of worship and even killings, citing research by the Pew Research Centre. He cited recent data showing that 380 million Christians face persecution worldwide and warned, “Persecution on the basis of religion or belief, enacted by States themselves and social groups, is taking place on every continent in the world.” Smith called the U.K.’s commitment “a new chapter” in foreign policy and said freedom of religion was interlinked with other liberties, including freedom of speech, conscience and assembly. Of the 10 selected, only three — Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan — are among the top 10 in the Open Doors World Watch List, which identifies countries where Christians are most severely persecuted. The worst offenders on that list, such as North Korea, Somalia and Yemen, are not among the U.K.’s current

The U.K. government’s FoRB strategy involves five strands. First, it aims to uphold international standards through bodies such as the U.N. and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Second, it will embed the issue into targeted bilateral diplomacy, encouraging individual missions to raise FoRB in foreign capitals. Third, the U.K. will strengthen international coalitions working on religious freedom. Fourth, the Foreign Office will incorporate FoRB into its mainstream human rights programming. The fifth strand involves collaboration with civil society groups working on interfaith respect and awareness. Speaking at the briefing, Lord Collins of Highbury, minister for human rights, said the U.K. has long believed that rights and the rule of law strengthen global prosperity and resilience. He said his office had already written to British heads of mission directing them to embed human rights, including FoRB, into all areas of diplomatic work. He cited the recent release of two individuals — Nigerian atheist Mubarak Bala and Cuban Pastor Lorenzo Rosales Fajardo — as examples of successful British-supported advocacy.

“Only by working together can we build a world where everyone, everywhere, can live with dignity, free to believe — or not believe — without fear,” Lord Collins said. In April, during a debate, Smith said Britain’s diplomatic stance is informed by its own history, moving “from persecution to pluralism,” which he said provides credibility to advocate abroad. He described the U.K. as “uniquely well placed” to act in support of religious liberty, citing its legacy of legal rights and peaceful pluralism. The role of FoRB envoy was created following a 2019 report by then-Bishop of Truro, Philip Mounstephen, which found that Foreign Office staff lacked awareness of global religious persecution. The report led to recommendations that religious freedom be formally integrated into U.K. foreign policy. Smith argued that defending FoRB not only benefits persecuted communities but also those who engage in repression. He said FoRB could unlock new opportunities and freedoms for their nations to flourish and reaffirmed his commitment to press the U.K. government to act. Meanwhile, Christian Today noted that new research by Jersey Road PR has found that mainstream U.K. media rarely report on attacks against Christians globally.

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION ESCALATING

Where do Christians face the most violence: PAKISTAN – Because of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, Christians are at constant risk of being falsely accused of blaspheming Islam, the Koran or Mohammed, and they receive harsh punishments when convicted. NIGERIA – Nearly all Christians in north-eastern Nigeria have lost family members or friends in attacks by Boko Haram or Fulani Islamic militants. Entire congregations have been displaced, and many pastors have been forced to leave the region. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO – The church is under immense pressure in the eastern DRC. In areas controlled by the Allied Democratic Forces, Christian villages have been raided, churches destroyed and hundreds of believers brutally killed.

INDIA: At least two attacks on Christians are being reported every day in India this year, according to new figures released by a Christian advocacy group.

Christians constitute 2.3% of India’s population, based on the 2011 census. The UCF says the Christian minority has been facing growing hostility in recent years, particularly under laws and narratives advanced by Hindu nationalist groups. Twelve of India’s 28 states have laws that restrict religious conversions. Most of these are governed by the Hindu nationalist BJP, which Christian groups accuse of enabling Hindu nationalist attacks under the guise of anti-conversion enforcement.

A total of 313 incidents were recorded between January and May alone, based on calls to a toll-free helpline run by the New Delhi-based inter-denominational body United Christian Forum, according to the Union of Catholic Asian News

SYRIA: Multiple churches in Syria were attacked by terrorists; at least 20 dead, dozens wounded. A brutal terrorist attack took place on Sunday around 5 p.m. local time at Mar Elias Church in the Douweila neighbourhood of Damascus. The attacker began shooting at people and then blew himself up inside the church. As of 10 p.m. local time, at least 20 people are dead and at least 50 have been wounded, with the numbers still climbing.

Jesus told us what it will be like prior to His return to usher in His Millennial reign on this Earth.

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.
“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 24:7-14

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL IS FULFILLING BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECY

Another excellent presentation by Jonathan Cahn showing us what is unfolding in Israel and in particular Jerusalem, is fulfilling end times Bible prophecy.

What is unfolding in the Gaza Strip by the Palestinians has been played out in the past by the Philistines. The Philistines were the people group that occupied the Gaza Strip when Israel went into the Promised Land. Satan is using the Palestinians just as he did the Philistines to destroy the Jews.

The invasion by Hamas on October 7th, 2025, shocked the world. But what if there was an ancient mystery lying behind it all, playing out before the world?

The UN passed a resolution today that demands Israel leave the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Golan Heights and Jerusalem within 12 months. This fulfils and end times prophecy in Zechariah.

Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples… 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

CONFIRMATION WE ARE IN THE BIBLICAL END TIMES

Fuller Seminary is a well-known theological school with campuses in California, Texas, and Arizona, and it advertises itself as an evangelical graduate institution with “roots in orthodoxy.” Well, recently, the Fuller Seminary president, in a letter about LGBTQ issues, stated:

After several years of consultation, feedback, and dialogue, the Board of Trustees reconfirmed the institution’s commitment to its historic theological understanding of marriage and human sexuality—a union between a man and a woman and sexual intimacy within the context of that union. At the same time, we acknowledge that faithful Christians—through prayerful study, spiritual discernment, and lived experience—have come to affirm other covenantal forms of relationship.

It took several years of “consultation, feedback, and dialogue” to make a statement on marriage and human sexuality when all they had was to read and believe God’s Word:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27

Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.Genesis 2:24–25

And see the words of Jesus Christ as the God-man when asked about marriage:

He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?Matthew 19:4–5

Since God created marriage, he defines what it is—and it is one man for one woman.

Many seminaries, Bible colleges, Christian colleges and universities, and churches today, rather than fearing God, fear man and try to appease everyone (and in the process, they appease no one and certainly don’t please the Lord!).

These so-called Biblical institutions do not understand where we are on the Biblical timetable, yet there are two thousand Biblical prophecies related to Jesus’ second coming. Most have been fulfilled or are being fulfilled in our day.

Just like the religious leaders of Jesus’ first coming to Earth did not get it, despite three hundred Biblical prophecies forecasting it, the religious leaders of our day are also blind to the truth of His second coming.

We need to take a bold stand on God’s Word beginning in Genesis, challenge these seminaries, Bible colleges, Christian colleges, universities, churches, and culture, and not bend our stand on God’s Word to fit with the culture and compromise Christians. We must make the most of these last days to ensure we complete the work God has prepared for us to do.

ARE WE SEEING PRECURSORS TO THE END TIMES CELESTIAL SIGNS?

Are the celestial signs in Luke 21:25-26 and Revelation 6:12-14 increasing? Even Isaiah prophesied that when God judges the entire Earth, there will be celestial signs that cause earthly upheaval.

And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.Luke 21:25-26

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.Revelation 6:12-14

For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken. The earth staggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again.
Isaiah 23:18-20

In this video, Jason Peters, an expert, shares details on what is happening now with our magnetosphere, which protects the Earth from Solar flares. Even NASA has reported that its protection has diminished markedly in the last few years, particularly in 2023, and Solar flares are now devastatingly impacting Earth. What we are seeing is a precursor to the prophesied end-times celestial signs. He explains what we can expect to see coming to the world, when electrical grids fail, and increased earthquakes, tsunamis, geomagnetic storms, and cosmic rays adversely affect our health.

Aurora australis lights up the sky over southern Australia

One evidence for this increased solar flare activity and decreased magnetosphere is the recent appearance of auroras in Australia, the USA, Spain, and Mexico. These are caused by geomagnetic storms triggered by coronal mass ejections. “A coronal mass ejection is the literal ejection of material from the Sun out into space. This sends charged particles from the Sun towards Earth, causing geomagnetic storms that disrupt the Earth’s magnetic field.

HOW EZEKIEL MIRRORS THE END-TIMES PROPHECIES GIVEN IN REVELATION

This is a great end-times sermon from Jonathan Cahn. He shows how Ezekiel gives Israel a prophecy of coming judgement that mirrors the prophecy John provides the world in the book of Revelation. It is remarkable how God has given Jonathan Cahn this ability and empowered him to share it with the world in his many books. I was blown away by what he revealed in his first book, The Harbinger and have therefore purchased most of his other books.

I had the privilege of meeting Jonathan in Jerusalem and sharing with him what God was doing in China with the Gatherings. It is amazing how God orchestrates those meetings. I was staying at the Leonardo Hotel in Jerusalem.. The gatherings are organised by the Watchmen for the Nations organisation. A gathering is unlike a Christian conference where there are set times for worship, keynote speakers and a pre-arranged order of events. A gathering is a call to come and worship the Lord while corporately posturing together to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. It is a time of gathering the family of God to move according to Jesus’ prayer in John 17 for unity with one another and with Him.

I was ordering an omelette for breakfast when a voice behind me asked, “Could I have one, too?” I looked around, and it was Jonathan Cahn. Out came, “Jonathan Cahn?” and he said, ” That’s right. I then asked if he was here for the Gathering. He said, No, I am here for a time of rest. I have been ill. I returned to my table and asked the Holy Spirit if there was a reason for me meeting Jonathan. The Holy Spirit made it clear that I was to tell him about the Gatherings. I was reluctant to do so as Jonathan was with his wife and two children. I eventually got the courage and went to their table. I apologised for the interruption but told Jonathan that I believed God wanted him to know about the Gathering that was taking place in Jerusalem. He was gracious enough to let me share more. I then told him about Watchmen for the Nations and the purpose of the Gatherings. What turned out to be the “bombshell” was that of the 3000 people at the conference, more than half were Chinese. Jonathan said, No way. He had no concept of what God was doing in China and was astounded that over 1500 Chinese would come to Jerusalem to pray for and support Israel.

BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECIES AND ISRAEL PROOF JESUS’ RETURN IS NEAR

Jonathan Cahn reveals that modern-day events in Israel and the world prove we are in the prophesied end times leading up to Jesus’ return and the battle of Armageddon. Jonathan has been called the prophetic voice of his generation and is known for unlocking the deep mysteries and revelations of God’s Word. His latest book, The Dragon’s Prophecy, is a must-read, as are his other bestsellers: The Josiah Manifesto, The Return Of The Gods, The Harbinger II, The Oracle, The Paradigm, The Book of Mysteries, and The Harbinger.

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.
