“Well Done!”

Many prophetically attuned believers–such as those who take notice of this column and of posts on terryjamesprophecyline.com, as well as of other Christ-centered, Bible prophecy platforms—pay attention to the nearness of Christ’s call to the Church. Vast billions of people on Earth, however, go down that broad way of this brief life without a thought of their swiftly approaching destiny.

Sadly, we know that most Christians–even though they might be born-again believers—pay no attention to the lateness of the hour as the end of the Age of Grace draws near. Much of this disregard (even though the Bible consists of more than 27 percent prophecy) is the fault of the people in the pews who genuinely call Jesus Christ their Lord–because they have little interest in personal Bible study. But at least an equal share of blame for not paying attention to the prophetic signs of the times must be placed with the pastors whose flocks receive little or no teaching about biblical prophecy—for which the stage is being set in every direction we look.

American Christians are caught up in not paying attention to the prophetic signals that burst in lightning- strike-like fashion from each news cycle in reports from this nation and around the world. While these believers see the wars and rumors of wars, the economic strains and stresses that portend economic collapse and threaten to fracture their family well-being, or the absolute evil being perpetrated in the adulteration of a culture that murders millions of babies in the womb and subjects the youngest children to the most heinous sexual perversions imaginable, they only shake their heads and wonder aloud something like, “What’s the world coming to?”

If they would just get into their Bibles—and if their pastors would get into God’s prophetic Word—the Holy Spirit would open their spiritual eyes to what this world is coming to.

And what this world is heading toward—is soon coming to—is God’s judgment and wrath.

And I’m of the conviction–and believe that you are, also—that God’s judgment and wrath can’t be too far distant. This is obvious to the Christian who’s familiar with God’s warning and alert to the flashing signals that can’t be missed. It is imperative that we make our fellow believers aware they should be paying attention. We must hold up God’s prophetic Word to pastors in Bible-believing churches and remind them that they’re responsible for teaching and preaching Bible prophecy. They must do so today, without delay, because time is fleeting in this Church Age (Age of Grace).

We have in the book of Hebrews an exhortation I believe transcends merely urging believers to gather in physical meeting places–church sanctuaries, et cetera. Of course, this is indeed an important part of the exhortation. But I believe that, just as importantly, it means we are to come together as Christ’s Body in understanding the times, especially as we see the time of Tribulation approaching:

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).

The words “the day approaching” in this passage is warning of the day when Christ will call the Church into the clouds of Glory, and the time of Daniel’s seventieth week—the Tribulation era—will begin.

We must come together and speak of coming judgment as a Church Body, especially as we see the stage being set for prophetic fulfillment.

We must, therefore, make sure our brothers and sisters are on the same page. Of course, we know from the apathy and because of the many different views of Bible prophecy that this cannot and will not be achieved in total, but we must do what we can to try to make it happen.

I am very thankful that those who come to read our articles here have been so supportive of our efforts. And you know who you are who have been so faithful and supportive of our Pakistani mission. My little Prophecy Power book has been used in a mighty way as the Pakistani minister has distributed it in that dark land and used it to shed the Gospel’s light about coming judgment on sin, and, more importantly, to give the wonderful message of God’s grace through His Son’s sacrifice on the cross at Calvary.

You have contributed to a mission in that foreign land and region where human history will one day culminate. When we work to get prophetic truth into the minds and hearts of pastors and their flocks, we are performing an equally worthy mission. It is a vital mission since we see that day approaching.

Like you, I want to hear the words of our Lord when we see Him face to face in that moment of Rapture. And I want every Christian to hear those words also. There will be no greater reward than to hear them as we look into the all-knowing eyes of our Savior, Lord, and God:

“Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:23).

The Hope that Flows from Jesus’ Resurrection

At the lowest point in my life, I wanted to run far away from the faith, Christians, and the Lord. Feeling the full impact of the betrayal of those closest to me, I went for many late-night walks, pouring my heart out to the Lord. In my book, The Triumph of the Redeemed, I summarize just a few of the circumstances that led to my despair so long ago. I do not wish to recount what happened back then, but rather write about how the Lord guarded my heart during that dark period in my life, as I also did in my book.

It was His resurrection and the hope that flows from it that Jesus used to keep me close to Him in spite of my feelings. Later, when I heard a sermon on John 6, Peter’s response to the Lord resonated deep in my soul, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). I knew all along that Jesus’ resurrection was an absolute certainty and thus my hope of eternity regardless of my dire circumstances. I knew I had nowhere to go but to remain with the One who gave His life for me.

The lengthy healing process led to a deeper appreciation of my hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing; as for me, that was and is the connection between Jesus’ resurrection and my hope of eternity. As a young pastor, I could recite twenty reasons for my belief in the pre-Tribulation Rapture. But when my world turned upside down and inside out, I came to cherish this hope in a far deeper way as the culmination of the life Jesus promised me.

When all my earthly aspirations perished in a moment, Jesus’ resurrection meant that nothing could take away my hope of eternity. That’s when the Rapture became much more than a doctrine to defend, but rather the time when I would fully experience all the wonders of eternity that Jesus promises to us.

Is this not the theme of 1 Corinthians 15?

Our Hope Begins with the Resurrection

Do you know that many of the people who scoff at our belief in a Rapture also tell us that the promises of 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 happen at the moment Jesus saves us? I was shocked when I first read that someone denied our resurrection hope in such a way, but I have since come to realize that it’s a rather common belief among those who say the church is now God’s kingdom on the earth rather than Israel. They throw out the promise of an incorruptible body along with the Rapture.

I regard such assertions as a form of unbelief because in order to eliminate the Rapture from the promises at the end of I Corinthians 15, one must discard all that Paul wrote in the first forty-nine verses of the chapter.

The apostle begins 1 Corinthians 15 with a concise presentation of the Gospel, highlighting Jesus’ resurrection. He then addresses a faction within the Corinth church who maintained that there was no such thing as a resurrection, to which Paul responded that such a belief undermines the entire Gospel (I Corinthians 15:18-19). Apart from our hope of a future bodily resurrection, our faith accomplishes nothing of any lasting value. It’s not me saying this; it’s the Apostle Paul.

In the verses that follow, he highlights Jesus’ resurrection as “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (I Corinthians 15:20). The fact that He rose from the dead is the basis of our hope that someday He will raise us to new life with immortal bodies. The apostle makes this unmistakably clear in verses 47-49:

“The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.”

As New Testament saints, we know there’s coming a day when just as surely as we have lived in bodies patterned after Adam, we “shall also bear the image” of Jesus, “the man of heaven.” He “will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21). That happens during the event we call the Rapture.

We Look Forward to a Future Event

If context and the words of the New Testament matter, then the Lord’s promises to us in 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 speak to a future event that’s just as sure as Jesus’ resurrection. It’s as Ed Hindson wrote in His book Future Glory:

If you disagree on the timing of the rapture, please don’t tell people, “There’s never going to be a rapture.” No, there must be a rapture, or the Bible is not true.

Because Jesus rose from the dead, there will most assuredly be a time when He appears, raises the dead in Christ from their graves, and gives both dead and living saints incorruptible and immortal bodies (see also Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-18). Our hope of eternal life in glorified bodies like that of Jesus flows from the fact that He rose from the dead and is coming back to take us, complete with glorious new bodies, back to His Father’s house in Heaven.

That’s why we have hope regardless of our circumstances or age.

Even after the Lord brought healing to the wounds of my past, I believed my usefulness for Him was at a complete and total end. Little did I know at the time, or could even begin to imagine, was that the Lord would someday weave all that happened during the years of hardship into a ministry that seeks to use Bible prophecy as the means to encourage and comfort hurting saints.

Maranatha!!

THE COERCED, THE COWARDLY, AND THE CORRUPT

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Australian Group Exposes Infringements of Christians’ Religious Freedom. An Australian Christian advocacy organization launched a database and released a report exposing infringements on Christians’ religious freedom in the country. The Canberra Declaration “on March 11, launched the Australian Christian Freedom Index (ACFI) with a report on anti-Christian currents in 2025.”

Canada Poised to Declare Quoting the Bible a Hate Crime. In what former Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer called “a dark day for free speech in Canada, the House of Commons passed a bill that could criminalize quoting Bible passages if they’re deemed to be hateful. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will almost certainly be approved since that body primarily consists of appointees of former Liberal PM Trudeau.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Politico Backtracks After Using Antisemitic Tropes In Cartoon Lambasting Trump, Republicans, and Netanyahu Over Iran. Politico posted a cartoon that drew outrage from conservatives and the Jewish community. Israeli PM Netanyahu is depicted with an exaggerated nose, while dining with President Trump and Republicans at a table covered in blood on a boat going over a waterfall. They’re wearing blood-drenched Jewish prayer shawls.

The Evils of Islam

War on Civilization: ‘Israel Cannot Outsource Its Survival.’ A MUST READ. Israel cannot outsource its survival, and the US can’t pretend totalitarian jihadism can be “managed” indefinitely. Either you dismantle the infrastructure of terror, or it regrows. Israel’s enemies are imposing a war on civilization. The West won’t be defeated by lack of power. It will be defeated, if it’s defeated, by refusal to oppose danger when they see it.

Experts Warn of Homegrown Jihadism and Spread of Sharia Law. In the weeks following the US strike on Iran, there were terrorist attacks by Islamists in four states. “These recent attacks come after 49,000 terror attacks around the world since 9/11. People in other religions don’t carry out terror attacks. Islam calls for warfare against unbelievers. No other religion has anything like that.” Muslims are called to move to other countries but not assimilate. The goal is eventual world takeover.

Syria: Christians, Other Minorities Under Genocidal Attack During Leadership of Ahmed Al-Sharaa. Christians in Syria are under attack by Islamic groups affiliated with the jihadist regime, headed by al-Sharaa, former al-Qaeda leader. Following al-Sharaa’s Dec 2024 seizure of power in Syria, persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, Druze and Alawites, has skyrocketed as Syria undergoes a process of radical Islamization. Also see Christians in Syria cautiously scale back Easter celebrations after violent attacks.

Iran regime uses war to mask ‘brutal’ execution surge against political opponents. Rights groups say the Iranian regime is on track to beat last year’s record number of executions, with 657 in the first three months of this year alone

Egypt’s Dangerous Muslim Brotherhood Organization. Muslim Brotherhood presents itself to the West as a network of charities, activists, community leaders, and political organizers. Yet, everywhere, it’s linked to terrorist activities. By failing to designate it as a terrorist organization in its entirety, Western gov’ts allow it to entrench itself politically, financially, and socially within Western societies.

Pervasive Perversion

Your Therapist Is Being Told To ‘Affirm’ Child Transgenderism. America’s most influential psychological association, The American Psychological Association (APA) still recommends children receive so-called gender affirming medical interventions, despite downplaying its support of child transgenderism in a letter to government officials investigating fraud in pediatric gender medicine.

AMA: We Didn’t Mean It When We Said Kids Shouldn’t Get Gender Surgery. In early February, the American Medical Association told multiple news outlets that “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.” In a recent newsletter, however, the AMA’s board of trustees categorically denied that the AMA had changed its policy on gender surgery and accused “reporters” of mischaracterizing the organization’s stance.

LGBTQ group rolls out ‘Rainbow Ribbon’ program with curriculum requirements in Maryland school district. Defending Education uncovered ties between a Maryland school district and a local LGBTQ+ advocacy group looking to reward schools for meeting LGBTQ requirements regarding curriculum and affinity groups.

Last Days Traitors

Communists, Democrats use #NoKings rally to call for May Day strike. Communist and socialist activists at the nationwide “No Kings” protests escalated their anti-America campaign and openly called for a nationwide economic strike on May 1, a communist holiday, as key Democratic activists joined their call.

Why Is Today’s Democratic Party So “Heartless”? Today’s Democrats are “heartless” because they prioritize power, and that power lust overrides other considerations. Republican politicians are largely driven by power motivations, too, but cater to a different group: the more patriotic, more traditional Americans. Yet there’s another, deeper difference: morality. It’s apparent that leftists are low-virtue people. And conservatives, though not perfect, are higher-virtue people.

Vance tapped as ‘fraud czar’ as Trump targets blue states over taxpayer theft. VP Vance will address an “unprecedented” problem in Democrat-run states. His fraud task force busted an alleged $50 million hospice and healthcare fraud scheme in Los Angeles. Trump said Vance’s focus would be “EVERYWHERE” but with a special emphasis on Democrat-controlled states.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

New Study: Myocarditis Affects ONLY Covid “Vaccinated” Youths
Analysis of the first 15 months of Germany’s Covid pandemic found that zero healthy children died of Covid. In this vein, epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski stated in Mar-May 2020 that children would be largely unaffected by Covid. The response was censorship. Biden admin. authorities insisted even children and babies be given the largely untested Covid “vaccines.”

Economic and Food Insecurity

World food price rise set to continue if Iran war lasts, FAO says. World food prices climbed in March to highest level since ‌last Sept; could rise further if conflict that pushed up energy prices continues. “Price rises since the conflict began have been modest, driven mainly by higher oil ​prices and cushioned by ample global cereal supplies.”

Weather Events

Heat wave smashes 4,000 records; hottest March in 7 states. During the unprecedented mid-March heat wave in the central and western US, over 4,000 daily records and over 1,700 monthly records were broken. Seven states preliminarily set their highest March temps ever.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

U.S. fighter jet downed over Iran, one pilot rescued, one still missing. An Iranian regional governor offered a bounty for its crew. A U.S. aircraft that was mobilized to support the search and rescue mission was also struck by Iranian fire. That aircraft made it to Kuwaiti airspace, where the pilot ejected and the aircraft crashed.

Over 3,500 US Troops Arrive in Middle East as Houthis Enter War. Over 3,500 U.S. troops arrived in the Middle East, officials announced on Mar. 28, as strikes in the Iran war intensified. Iran-backed Houthis launched their first missile barrage on Israel since Operation Epic Fury. Red Sea shipping could once again be under direct threat.

More key US allies block military flights as Iran war rift widens with Trump. More key European allies are restricting U.S. military access as the Trump administration presses ahead with its war against Iran. France and Spain moved to block U.S.-linked aircraft from using their airspace or bases. Their refusals carry operational weight because U.S. bases in Europe are essential for supporting MidEast operations, acting as critical staging and transit hubs for military aircraft.

Trump lashes out at UK & France, telling allies ‘the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore.’ The president has expressed disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel’s military operation. Defense Secretary Hegseth said other countries “might want to start learning how to fight for yourself.” Europe tends to view the Iran war as one of choice and is wary of getting involved.

All critical, essential targets within Iran to be destroyed before Passover, IDF announces. The IDF deemed “critical” targets as those that immediately threatened Israel, such as ballistic missile industry targets, as well as targets at the heart of the mission goals of the war.

IDF to establish security zone 20 miles deep into Lebanon, following its campaign against Iranian-backed Hezbollah. 600,000-plus residents of Southern Lebanon evacuated northward in recent weeks would be barred from returning south of the Litani “until the safety and security of northern Israeli residents is ensured.”

Iran fears Israel’s ‘new strategy’ after major strikes on steel industry. Iran’s largest steel producer has reported heavy losses to its production units following joint US-Israeli strikes on its facilities during the war, with attacks hitting multiple sites in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.

Trump says US could leave NATO over lack of Iran war support. He also said he expects the US to end its war on Iran within weeks, and a cease‑fire would only be considered if the Strait of Hormuz is open. The remarks come amid a poll showing two-thirds of Americans want the conflict ended. Average U.S. gas prices have risen to over $4 per gallon since the war started.

Gulf allies press Trump to escalate Iran war. Saudi Arabia, UAE, & other Gulf allies are privately pressing Trump to keep prosecuting the war against Iran. They argue that a month of U.S.-led strikes hasn’t weakened Iran enough. Saudi Arabia and UAE are leading calls to intensify military pressure. The Emirates favor a ground invasion. Oman and Qatar push for a diplomatic end.

Iran, Hezbollah launch attacks as Israelis host Passover Seders, sending millions to shelters. Sirens sounded repeatedly in central Israel Wednesday, surrounding start of Passover, as Iran fired a major ballistic missile barrage, and Hezbollah launched rockets from Lebanon, sending millions to bomb shelters and safe rooms as families hosted their Seder meals.

Iran and Lebanon fire at northern Israel as IDF strikes Tehran and Beirut. Rocket fire from Lebanon and missiles from Iran struck northern Israel, causing damage in multiple locations but no reported injuries. Israel Defense Forces began strikes targeting terrorist infrastructure in Beirut. Also, a large-scale wave of strikes was underway in Tehran.

US intelligence said to assess around half of Iran’s missile launchers still intact despite over a month of US and Israeli bombardment, CNN reported Friday, citing three sources. Some of the remaining missile launchers aren’t believed accessible at present, due to being buried under rubble amid airstrikes.

Trump warns Iran: ‘Time is running out’ before ‘all hell’ rains down. “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” Trump’s warning comes after Iranian air defenses struck down two U.S. fighter jets on Friday.
