Satan and his evil minions, both demonic and human, almost hourly seem to turn down the rheostat of spiritual enlightenment. The incremental darkening can’t be missed by those who are observing these times.

However, while that hellish darkening process intensifies, as witnessed here in our own nation in places like Minneapolis, Chicago, and other blue cities, and in the Middle East with the slaughter by the Iranian regime, we who belong to Christ have within us the light that cannot be turned down or extinguished.

Our Lord said the following:

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Dear Rapture Ready family:

Jesus’ words, issued two thousand years ago, describe His thoughts about you and me as we strive to put forth light in His holy name. We’re here on this fallen planet at a time He knew would be the spiritual environment of darkening evil at the very end of this Age of Grace.

This website strives to put forth in this ever-darkening world truth from the very heart of God. Our purpose is to fit within Christ’s definition: “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hil [that] cannot be hid.”

You—as a citizen of Heaven and as a sojourner, a royal ambassador for God’s Kingdom upon this fallen planet—are part of that light. It is the heavenly light that all who are lost in the darkness of sin will forever be without…apart from God’s saving grace. 

It is vital to the great cause of bringing souls under God’s saving grace for Rapture Ready to have the support of you, our RR family—that is, the family of God.

We’ve been assigned to be the light of the world. We’re like the Lord’s description of the shining city on a hill that cannot be hidden. We cannot let our efforts diminish but must make that light brighter than ever in these darkening hours so near the Tribulation.

The minions of the Ephesians 6:12 cabal (the wickedness in high places against which we struggle) are doing everything within their demonic power to turn off God’s light. This includes coming against this website as we strive to enlighten the world of cyberspace with truth.

For example: During this last quarter, Todd has had to increase the ad budget for RR. This is necessary because of restrictive movement placed on the site by those who govern Google, et cetera. This interference has diminished our prominence in regard to being easily accessed by those looking to link to Raptureready.com.

Unfortunately, the greatly increased expenditure is the only way to reach new people. Social media sites have a monopoly over the internet. The move has increased our traffic by 20 percent.

But this attempt to boost traffic to the level needed is expensive. We need more revenue to make Raptureready.com more easily accessible to those searching for God’s truth. We need you, our RR family members, to help keep God’s light bright in this spiritually darkening time so near Christ’s call to the Church in the Rapture.

I heard Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas just as I was writing this appeal. He quoted a pastor he knows, who said: “When we leave this earth we will leave all in our bank account behind. That is, except for that which we send on ahead to our Heavenly Bank Account.”

The compounding interest that accrues from that investment over the trillions of years into eternity will reap heavenly riches beyond anything we can imagine.

But the souls saved because of our contributions will doubtless reap the greatest heavenly rewards of all!

The Rapid Progression of End Time Events

If you are like me, you wonder how much longer we will have to wait for Jesus’ appearing. We have been watching the convergence of a multiplicity of signs for many years, and yet we remain earthbound.

The rapid progression of prophetically noteworthy events just since the start of 2026 has elevated my anticipation that our wait may be coming to an end. And yet, I sense a hesitation that keeps me from getting hopeful that the Rapture might happen this year or the next. We have seemed this close in the past.

On the other hand, what I see happening with Israel tells me that the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 is quickly approaching. And that’s just one example of the rapid progression of end-time events that has happened in just the past six weeks.

Israel in the Crosshairs

Of special note is the scheduled meeting of President Trump’s Board of Peace set for February 19th. The planned topic of this get-together is the implementation of Phase 2 of the President’s Gaza peace plan. Recent events suggest that this agenda item may be rather premature. Hamas refuses to disarm and is actively calling for its allies in the area to attack Israel. As violations of the ceasefire occur almost every day, it’s difficult to have any optimism for a resolution to the Gazan crisis.

Another obstacle confronting the Board of Peace is Iran. The Muslim state continues to prepare for war and has stated that it will not give up its nuclear ambitions nor limit its rapidly increasing arsenal of powerful and deadly missiles. It now poses a much greater threat to Israel’s existence than it did at the start of the twelve-day war in June 2025.

Because of the imminent danger to his country, Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington, DC, a week earlier than originally planned. The severity of the crisis made it necessary that he meet with President Trump and not wait even a few days more. The meeting is happening as I write.

The U.S. military buildup in the area continues at an unprecedented rate. One report states that it has 1,500 Tomahawk missiles in the Middle East. War seems inevitable at the moment as both sides ramp up for what seems to be an all-out war. Will Israel strike first? Will the U.S. join in the attack? Or will a peace settlement forestall the upcoming conflict?

Prophetic Overtones

Although we cannot predict with any certainty what will happen in the coming weeks or months in the Middle East, it’s apparent that what we see is rapidly advancing the prophetic clock forward to the time of antichrist’s future deal with Israel.

The emergence of President Trump’s Board of Peace in the past several weeks is setting the stage for what lies ahead. It’s not the group of ten world leaders from which the Bible says antichrist will rise to power, but it seems to be a model for future attempts to bring peace to the world, as well as a pattern for antichrist’s deal with Israel that will include “the many” (Daniel 9:27).

Although this is speculation on my part, I wonder if the seemingly certain failure of the Board of Peace to solve the Hamas crisis will lead to a more streamlined group of ten world leaders in the future. And as quickly as President Trump’s idea of ten leaders to deal with the crisis in Gaza mushroomed to over thirty-six members with a much broader purpose, could it not just as rapidly shrink back to a panel of ten? The Bible tells us a governing board of ten “kings” will emerge in the last days just before antichrist’s rise to power.

The current Iranian crisis also has prophetic overtones for what Ezekiel wrote about the Gog/Magog invasion of Israel, of which Iran will play a key role (Ezekiel 38-39). At the moment, it seems as though some sort of conflict between Israel and Iran is unavoidable. But regardless of what happens, the Islamic Jihad faction within Iran will survive to fight another day. Should its existing government fall amid a blistering attack from Israel and the U.S., we know from Ezekiel that enough hostile elements will remain within the nation to come against Israel in the future, most likely after the Rapture.

The fact that Ezekiel predicts a ground invasion points to the use of an overwhelming force of troops on the ground versus Iran’s current reliance on a multitude of missiles to destroy Israel. Is it possible that an upcoming war will change its strategy to a ground attack versus sending a multitude of rockets?

The speed at which the prophetic landscape has changed in just the past six weeks makes us all the more aware that the Rapture could happen at any moment. And again, what’s happening with the Board of Peace, Iran, and Israel is just one example of this.

And if we think things are moving quickly now, and they are, the speed will greatly increase after our departure and antichrist bursts onto the world scene.

TIMES OF TREACHERY, TURMOIL, AND TERPITUDE

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation [trouble; trials]: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Vatican Bids for Global Authority. For centuries, the papacy has claimed authority over rulers, nations, and consciences; it’s claimed a position as a global authority. Cardinal Kurt Koch recently said a fragmented Christianity lacks the capacity to contribute meaningfully to global stability. In other words? Everyone should follow Catholicism and toss little things like doctrinal truths aside.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

The Great Shapeshifter: Though Jew-Hatred Has Mutated Throughout History, Its Aim Has Always Been To Undermine God. I have often heard evangelicals insist that antisemitism is more than prejudice—that it is spiritual warfare, a satanic assault on God’s Chosen People. I agree. But to confront the rising tide of Jew-hatred—which now spreads far beyond progressive leftist politics, infecting conservative spaces and even Christian communities—we must determine what Satan is trying to accomplish.

Iranian regime celebrates anniversary by burning ‘Baal’ statue labeled with Star of David amid cries of ‘death to Israel.’  Iran on Wednesday celebrated the 47th anniversary of the revolution that toppled the monarchy led by the Shah. The festivities were accompanied by raucous displays of hatred and hostility toward Israel and the US.

Islam Incursion and Terrorism

Islamic Terror Attack Near Arc de Triomphe: Knife-Wielding Man on Terror Watchlist Shot by Police in Paris. In a jihadist attack on Feb 13, Brahim Bahrir, a radical Muslim with a 2012 conviction for stabbing two Belgian police officers, stabbed and seriously wounded a gendarme during the Unknown Soldier flame ceremony before being shot multiple times by another gendarme and hospitalized in critical condition after vowing revenge for “our women and children.”

NYPD Surrenders to Sharia: 4th Annual World Hijab Day Farce Exposes One-Sided ‘Inclusion’
In New York City, NYPD hosted its 4th Annual World Hijab Day “celebration” at MUNA Islamic Center, turning taxpayer-funded police resources into a propaganda platform for Islamic veiling. Female officers tied on hijabs and gushing about “empowerment,” “dignity,” and “choice.” NYPD chaplains invoked the Hadith while balloons bobbed and photos were snapped for social media glory. This isn’t community outreach; it’s institutional submission.

SAVE TEXAS UPDATE: Leaders Gather as Fight Against Sharia Law Intensifies. Texas Republicans placed a primary ballot proposition before voters on March 3 asking whether Sharia law and any foreign religious legal code should be banned in Texas. This is only the first step in a fight that has implications far beyond Texas. The clear takeaway was that banning sharia law is more than just a call to action – it is a line in the sand to defend the U.S. legal system and protect religious liberty for Americans of all faiths.

Florida’s Wake-Up Call: Islamic Center of Orlando’s Expansion Marches On. Months after exposure, Islamic Center of Orlando is doubling down – expanding its footprint, erecting minarets, & accelerating a long-term strategy to entrench its influence in Central Florida. Don’t be fooled…. The video isn’t just a construction progress report; it’s a victory lap for the ongoing “civilization jihad” we’ve warned about.

Last Days Treachery

Far-left group with foreign ties undermining US under guise of protest. The messaging campaign against US federal authorities isn’t coincidental. A scathing report found the DSA’s (Democratic Socialists of America’s) rhetoric matches anti-US propaganda of foreign adversaries. The finding is important as the organization amasses more political power in the US.

If Dems Seize Power Again, a Purge Is Coming… Radical Leftists Now Threatening Law Enforcement Once They’re in Control. Acting more like poo-flinging monkeys in a zoo than congress members, rabid Dems on Capitol Hill attacked Border Patrol and ICE officials, telling them to resign and pray for a pardon from President Trump. Those thinly veiled threats of punitive lawfare against conservatives presage a planned vicious purge aimed at throwing Trump officials and supporters in prison once Democrats control gov’t again. It’ll be the final step in installing a Banana Republic in America.

Orwellian Society

AI toy maker exposed thousands of responses to children, senators say

As part of their research this past month, staff members from senators’ offices said one manufacturer, Miko, exposed “what appears to be all of the audio responses of the toy,” in an unsecured, publicly accessible database. In December, NBC News found that several AI toys engaged in explicit sexual conversation topics, advised users on how to locate dangerous objects at home, and shared geopolitical sentiments aligned with Chinese Communist Party talking points. A previous version of the FoloToy Kumma bear discussed sexual topics and provided users advice on how to light matches.

Economic Insecurity

Inflation Improves in January, Beating Forecasts with a 2.4% Gain, continuing a downtrend. The monthly consumer price index increased by 0.2% for the period, registering an annual gain of 2.4%, below the 2.5% predicted by economists and down from 2.7% in December.

Biggest Housing Bubble in Entire History of The United States Is in The Process of Bursting.
The housing bubble that burst during the Great Recession was enormous, but nothing compared to now. Two decades ago, the average US home price was about $140,000. Today, it’s above $500,000. We’ve never seen anything close to a housing bubble of this magnitude. Unfortunately, what comes up must eventually come down.

Weather Events

New York City confirms 18 deaths during prolonged Arctic cold. Fatalities occurred during a 9-day period of subfreezing temps, with wind chills falling below −25°C (−13°F) on multiple mornings. Most victims were found outdoors.

Florida enters worst drought in 25 years as extreme conditions expand with 100% of the state classified in drought categories D0–D4, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Severe to extreme drought now covers 85.46% of the state, marking the most extensive spatial coverage since the 2000–2001 drought event.

Gezani destroys 18,800 homes, claims at least 40 lives in Madagascar as of February 13, 2026, since Tropical Cyclone Gezani made landfall. The storm was forecast to continue intensifying through February 13 while remaining in open waters.

Farmers report ‘catastrophic damage to crops as Storm Marta hits Spain and Portugal as they braced for more extreme weather. The Iberian Peninsula has already experienced a succession of storms in recent weeks, ‌bringing heavy rain, thunder, snow, and strong gales before the arrival of Marta last Saturday.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Necessary Alliances for Ezekiel War Aren’t Forming, They’re Already Formed
There’s one more area where we can see business as usual. This world continues to rapidly move toward the great war promised in Ezekiel 38-39. Over this past century, we have been witnesses to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 36-37 taking place.

At Least 112 USAF C-17 Aircraft Headed to Middle East: ‘Desert Storm Levels’. A massive number of military transport and cargo planes have been observed heading to Europe and the Middle East, in what some forewarned looks like a build-up to a major war in Iran. One regional watcher/pundit commented, “Guys, that’s a lot. Like Desert Storm a lot. Stay tuned.”

Hamas leader rejects disarmament and foreign intervention in Gaza. The Islamist movement will not give up all of its weapons or accept foreign intervention in the Gaza Strip said Khaled Mashal in a speech in the Qatari capital Doha. He’s acting leader of Hamas’s ruling politburo, designated a terrorist organization.

Khomeini’s Grandson Warns US ‘Will Die’ Before Iran is Humiliated; Israel Will Be ‘Erased’ if Muslim Nations Gain Power. He said, “Israelis know full well that if a day comes when any Islamic nation is capable of firing missiles at Israel and striking Israel, and if they are capable of erasing Israel, they will do to Israel what Hamas did to it.” He then issued a threat to the US. “We say to the Americans: you will die before you see us humiliated.”

Calls for Peace and Safety

Israel officially joins Board of Peace as a founding member, alongside 27 other nations. Despite this, Prime Minister Netanyahu will not attend the inaugural meeting in Washington next week.

Concluding Scripture

“Be careful for nothing [don’t be anxious or worried]; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
